2.1 Agreement to Borrow and Lend. Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions hereof and in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth herein, Lender agrees to lend to Borrower the Commitment.
2.2 The Note. The Loan is evidenced by the Note and bears interest calculated and payable as provided in Article 3. The unpaid amounts of the Loan, as set forth on the books and records of Lender maintained in the ordinary course of business, will be presumptive evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid, absent manifest error, but the failure to record any such amount on the books and records will not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Note to make payments of principal and interest on the Loan when due.
2.3 Term. The term of the Loan commences on the Closing Date and terminates on the Expiration Date.
2.4 Extension Option. Borrower has the option to extend the Expiration Date one (1) time in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4 (the “Extension Option”). In the event that Lender determines in its sole discretion that the following conditions (collectively the “Conditions for Extension”) have been satisfied, Borrower has the right to extend the Expiration Date to the last day of the Extension Period; provided, that Conditions for Extension (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) must be satisfied on the Extension Option Exercise Date and Conditions for Extension (i), (iv), (vi) and (vii) must be satisfied immediately prior to the Extension Period Commencement Date:
(i) no Potential Default or Event of Default exists;
21
(ii) the Extension LTVR Requirement has been met or Borrower has made a Voluntary Prepayment in an amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the point where the Extension LTVR Requirement is satisfied;
(iii) the Extension DSCR Requirement has been met as evidenced by the Borrower’s delivery of the Borrower’s Certificate of Debt Service Coverage Ratio in the form of Exhibit 2.4(B) or Borrower has made a Voluntary Prepayment to Lenders in an amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the point where the Extension DSCR Requirement is satisfied;
(iv) the Guarantor shall be in compliance with the Guarantor Financial Covenants;
(v) lien-free Completion of Construction has occurred;
(vi) payment of the Extension Fee to Lender has been made; and
(vii) Lender has received a Date Down Endorsement or other endorsement to its Title Insurance Policy in form approved by Lender insuring the priority of the lien of the Mortgage in the amount of all Disbursements and containing no exceptions other than Permitted Encumbrances.
Borrower will provide Lender with written notice of its election to extend the Expiration Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(A), not later than sixty (60) days and not sooner than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the then applicable Expiration Date.
3. LOAN INTEREST RATES, PAYMENTS AND FEES
3.1 Interest Rate Options. Borrower will pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loan as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or the LIBOR Option. Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different LIBOR Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loan comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one (1) or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loan comprising any Borrowing Tranche provided that there may not be at any one time outstanding more than six (6) Borrowing Tranches. Lender’s determination of interest rates and any change therein will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any portion of the Loan made by Lender exceeds such Lender’s Maximum Legal Rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan is limited to such Lender’s Maximum Legal Rate. Borrower has the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options:
(a) Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed) equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus One and Forty One-hundredths of a Percent (1.40%) (the “Base Rate Option”), but in each case, such interest rate to change automatically without notice to Borrower from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate (or any component thereof); or
22
(b) LIBOR Option: A rate per annum fixed for the applicable LIBOR Interest Period (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed) equal to the sum of LIBOR plus Two and Forty One-hundredths of a Percent (2.40%) (the “LIBOR Option”).
3.2 Loan Requests/LIBOR Interest Periods. Borrower may request Lender to make advances of the Loan, or renew or convert any Interest Rate Option applicable to an existing Borrowing Tranche, by the delivery to Lender, not later than 12:00 noon (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to advances of a portion of the Loan to which the LIBOR Option applies; (b) three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the existing LIBOR Interest Period with respect to the conversion to or the renewal of the LIBOR Option for any existing Borrowing Tranche; and (c) one (1) Business Day prior to either the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the advance of a portion of the Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding LIBOR Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any advance of the Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.2 (each, an “Interest Rate Request”). Each Interest Rate Request is irrevocable and must specify (w) the proposed Borrowing Date; (x) the aggregate amount of the proposed advances of the Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche; (y) whether the LIBOR Option or Base Rate Option applies to the proposed advances of the Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche; and (z) in the case of advances of the Loan to which the LIBOR Option applies, an appropriate LIBOR Interest Period for the proposed advance of the Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche, provided that in the case of the renewal of a LIBOR Option at the end of a LIBOR Interest Period, the first day of the LIBOR Interest Period will be the last day of the preceding LIBOR Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.
3.3 Default Interest and Late Payment Charge. To the extent permitted by Law, during the existence of any Event of Default, Borrower will pay interest on the entire principal amount then outstanding and all other sums due under the Loan, regardless of the Interest Rate Option otherwise applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. The Default Rate accrues before and after any judgment has been entered. In addition, Borrower will pay upon demand by Lender a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment due under the Loan, prior to maturity or acceleration, which is not received by Lender within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due. Borrower acknowledges that the increased interest rate and the late payment charge provided for herein reflect, among other things, the fact that the Loan has become a substantially greater credit risk given its default status and that Lender is entitled to additional compensation for such risk and all such interest is payable by Borrower upon demand by Lender. Borrower also agrees and acknowledges that the Default Rate is a reasonable forecast of such additional compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by Lender, and that such harm cannot be estimated with certainty or without difficulty. The Default Rate is imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying Lender’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but is in addition to, and not in lieu of, the exercise by Lender, of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable Law, and any fees and expenses of any attorneys or other professionals Lender may employ.
23
3.4 LIBOR Unascertainable. If, on any date on which LIBOR would otherwise be determined, Lender determines that:
(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, or
(b) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to LIBOR,
then Lender will promptly notify Borrower thereof. On the date specified in any such notice, the obligation of Lender to allow Borrower to select, continue, renew, or convert to a LIBOR Option is suspended until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the previous determination no longer exist. If, at any time, Lender makes a determination under subsection (a) or (b) above, and Borrower has previously notified Lender of its conversion to or selection or renewal of a LIBOR Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification is deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option.
If, on any date on which LIBOR would otherwise be determined, Lender determines (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) that:
(c) the making, maintenance or funding of any portion of the Loan to which a LIBOR Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or
(d) such LIBOR Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of the establishment or maintenance of such portion of the Loan, or
(e) after making reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant LIBOR Interest Period for any portion of the Loan to which a LIBOR Option applies are not available to Lender with respect to such portion of the Loan, or to lenders generally, in the London interbank Eurodollar market,
then Lender will promptly notify Borrower and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice. On the date specified in any such notice, the applicable portion of the Loan automatically converts to the Base Rate Option.
3.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If Borrower fails to select a new LIBOR Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche under the LIBOR Option at the expiration of an existing LIBOR Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, Borrower is deemed to have continued such Borrowing Tranche at the LIBOR Option commencing upon the last day of the existing LIBOR Interest Period. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may in its discretion prohibit Borrower from thereafter selecting the LIBOR Option.
3.6 Payments. All payments and prepayments of principal, interest, the Extension Fee, or other fees or amounts due from Borrower are payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any
24
nature, and an action therefor will immediately accrue. Such payments will be made at the Principal Office to Lender in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loan and other amounts owing under this Agreement and will be deemed an “account stated.”
3.7 Reserved.
3.8 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the Loan is due and payable in arrears on the first day of each month after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date.
3.9 Voluntary Prepayments.
(a) Borrower has the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loan in whole or part on the dates set forth below without cost, premium or penalty, except as provided below or in Sections 3.12(a), 3.12(b) or 3.13:
(i) on any Business Day with respect to any portion of the Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies; or
(ii) on the date specified in a notice by Lender pursuant to Sections 3.4(c), 3.4(d) or 3.4(e), with respect to any portion of the Loan to which a LIBOR Option applies.
Whenever Borrower desires to prepay the Loan, it must provide a prepayment notice to Lender by 1:00 p.m. setting forth (x) the Business Day on which the proposed prepayment is to be made, which must be no less than three (3) Business Days after the date of such prepayment notice; (y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the portions of the Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies and to which the LIBOR Option applies, including, with respect to the LIBOR Option, the applicable Borrowing Tranche to which such prepayment applies; and (z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which may not be less than $100,000. All prepayment notices are irrevocable. The principal amount of the portion of the Loan for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount, is due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Any prepayment hereunder is subject to Borrower’s obligation to indemnify Lender under Section 3.13 and is not subject to reborrowing.
(b) Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to increased costs under Section 3.12(a) or the suspension of the LIBOR Option pursuant to Sections 3.4(c), 3.4(d) or 3.4(e), it will, if requested by Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of Lender) to designate another lending office for any portion of the Loan affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such section. Nothing in this Section 3.9(b) will affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Loan Party or the rights of Lender provided in this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
25
3.10 Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) In the event that the Expiration Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement, beginning on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) full calendar month of the Extension Period and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter continuing for the remainder of the term of the Extension Period, Borrower shall make monthly principal payments in an amount equal to $31,000 (the “Mandatory Principal Payments”). To the extent that any Mandatory Principal Payment shall exceed the portion of the Loan subject to the Base Rate Option, the Borrower shall also pay to the Lender any amounts due under Section 3.13 hereof.
(b) If not sooner paid, all amounts due and owing under any Loan Document are due and payable in full on the Expiration Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to and subject to the terms of Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
3.11 Application Among Interest Rate Options. All principal payments permitted or required pursuant to Sections 3.9 and 3.10 or any other provision of the Loan Documents will, so long as no Event of Default exists, be applied to the principal amount of the Loan among the Borrowing Tranches as are designated by Borrower; provided that, if Borrower fails to designate Borrowing Tranches, such payments will be applied first to the Base Rate Borrowing Tranche, and then to any LIBOR Option Borrowing Tranches. Any principal amounts so repaid are not subject to reborrowing. In accordance with Section 3.13, Borrower indemnifies Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any prepayments applied against any portion of the Loan subject to a LIBOR Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period.
3.12 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law:
(i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);
(ii) subjects Lender to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) imposes on Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any portion of the Loan made by such Lender or any participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any portion of the Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any portion of the Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
26
(b) Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that a Change in Law affecting Lender, any lending office of Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or could have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Lender delivered to Borrower and setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its holding company pursuant to this Section 3.12 is conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower will pay Lender the amount shown as due within ten (10) days after receipt of such certificate.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.12 does not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation.
3.13 Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Sections 3.12 and 3.14, Borrower indemnifies Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:
(a) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any portion of the Loan to which the LIBOR Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding LIBOR Interest Period whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due; or
(b) attempt by Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any notice relating to the selection of the LIBOR Option under Section 3.2 or prepayments under Section 3.9.
If Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it will from time to time notify Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by Lender (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) to be necessary to indemnify Lender for such loss or expense, and such amount will be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the notice is given. Lender’s notice will set forth in reasonable detail the basis for its determination.
3.14 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document must be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Withholding Agent, then the Withholding Agent is entitled to make such deduction or withholding and will timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law. Such Tax shall be an Indemnified Tax, and the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction
27
or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.14) Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it could have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Loan Parties jointly and severally agree to timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at Lender’s option, timely reimburse Lender for the payment of any such Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties jointly and severally indemnify Lender and agree to pay Lender within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes, including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.14, payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable related expenses, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender is conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Reserved.
(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 3.14, such Loan Party must deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(f) Reserved.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.14(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.14(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.14(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
28
(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.14 survive or any assignment of rights by Lender, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.
4. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other obligations hereunder have been performed and discharged and the Commitment of the Lender has terminated or expired, Borrower will comply or cause itself and the other Loan Parties to company at all times with the following affirmative covenants:
4.1 Preservation of Existence, Etc. Each Loan Party, which is not an individual, will maintain its legal existence (and no change is permitted thereto) as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, and its licenses or qualifications and good standings in the jurisdictions of its formation and, with respect to the Borrower, where the Project is located.
4.2 Performance of Obligations; Payment of Liabilities. Borrower will duly pay, perform and discharge each of its liabilities and obligations (including the Obligations and all Impositions), promptly as and when the same become due and payable, and in any event prior to the date when any fine, late charge or other penalty for late payment may be imposed, except to the extent (a) such liabilities are being contested in good faith and by appropriate and lawful proceedings diligently conducted; (b) such failure to pay and discharge any such liabilities (i) could not reasonably be expected to result in fines, penalties, other similar liabilities or injunctive relief, (ii) could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) could not reasonably be expected to result in a Lien or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Collateral or the validity of the Loan; and (c) Borrower has set aside reserves or made other appropriate provisions as may be required by GAAP with respect to such contested matters; and provided that Borrower will pay all such liabilities immediately upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any Lien which has attached as security for such liabilities.
4.3 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party will comply with applicable Laws, provided that failure to comply with a Law is not a violation of this Section 4.3 so long as such failure could not result in fines, penalties, costs or other similar liabilities or injunctive relief, or a Material Adverse Effect.
4.4 Keeping of Records and Books of Account. Each Loan Party will maintain and keep proper records and books of account which enable such Loan Party to issue financial statements and reports in accordance with GAAP, Section 7.2 and as otherwise required by applicable Law, and in which full, true and correct entries will be made in all material respects of all its dealings and business and financial affairs.
29
4.5 Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) Borrower will insure its properties and assets, including without limitation the Collateral, against loss or damage by insurable hazards with reputable and financially sound insurers, all as reasonably determined necessary or acceptable by Lender (each such insurance policy is an “Insurance Policy”). Borrower will ensure that each Insurance Policy complies with the requirements set forth on Exhibit 4.5. Borrower will take all actions required under the Flood Laws and/or requested by Lender to assist in ensuring that Lender is in compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the Collateral, including providing Lender with the address and/or GPS coordinates of the Improvements and each other structure on the Land, and, to the extent required, obtaining flood insurance for such Improvements, property, structures and contents prior to assets becoming Collateral, and thereafter maintaining such flood Insurance Policy in full force and effect for so long as required by the Flood Laws.

All parties engaged in work on the Improvements will maintain statutory workers’ compensation and, if required by Law, disability insurance in force for all workers on the job.
(d) Borrower will cause the Architect and the Civil Engineer to obtain and maintain professional liability insurance during the period commencing on the date of the Architect’s Agreement and/or the Civil Engineer’s Agreement, in each case, as applicable, and expiring no earlier than three (3) years after occupancy of the Project. Such insurance will be in an amount required by Lender on a per claim and aggregate basis. Lender acknowledges and agrees that the professional liability insurance coverage of the Architect of $2,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate and the professional liability insurance coverage of the Civil Engineer of $3,000,000 per claim and $5,000,000 in the aggregate in place as of the Closing Date is acceptable.
4.6 Notice. Borrower will give prompt written notice to Lender of (a) any action or proceeding instituted by or against any Loan Party which constitutes a Potential Default or an Event of Default; (b) a default by any Loan Party under any other material contract, instrument or agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound, which default could be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, a Potential Default or an Event of Default or (c) a default by Borrower under the Project Covenant Documents.
4.7 Payment of Costs. Borrower will pay promptly, or cause to be paid promptly, all costs incurred in connection with constructing the Improvements as and when the same become due and payable, paying for the same with the Equity Contribution, the proceeds of the Loan advanced from time to time and Borrower’s own funds as provided in this Agreement.
30
4.8 Construction and Development Documents, and the Project Covenant Documents.

All Construction and Development Documents and Project Covenant Documents must be in form and content satisfactory to Lender.
4.9 Compliance With Construction and Development Documents, Project Covenant Documents and Other Agreements. Borrower will comply with the Construction and Development Documents and the Project Covenant Documents to which it is a party and in all material respects with all other obligations under other contracts, instruments and agreements to which it is a party or to which any of its properties or assets may be subject. Borrower will cause the Improvements to be constructed in compliance with the Project Covenant Documents and all other agreements relating to the Project and any Leases and will perform all of its obligations under all of such agreements.
4.10 Interest Rate Hedge. Borrower may enter into an Interest Rate Hedge for all or any portion of the Loan on such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Lender. At Borrower’s request, PNC Capital Markets will provide a proposal for such Interest Rate Hedge.
4.11 Further Assurances. Borrower will, from time to time, at its expense, faithfully preserve and protect Lender’s lien on and security interest in the Collateral as a continuing first priority perfected lien, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and will take such other action as Lender in its sole discretion may deem to be necessary or advisable from time to time in order to preserve, perfect and protect the liens granted under the Collateral Documents, to exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies thereunder and with respect to the Collateral and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
4.12 Estoppel Certificates. Borrower will deliver within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written request a certificate duly executed and in form satisfactory to Lender, stating and acknowledging, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, (i) the then unpaid principal balance, and interest due and unpaid, under the Loan and that there are no defenses, off sets, counterclaims or recoupments thereto (or, if such should not be the fact, then the facts and circumstances relating to such defenses, off sets, counterclaims or recoupments); (ii) that Borrower has kept, observed, complied with, fulfilled and performed in all material respects every term, covenant and condition in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be kept and performed; (iii) that no Potential Default or Event of Default exists; (iv) that no event has occurred or is threatened which if continued could permit the holder of any recourse indebtedness of Borrower or to which its property is subject to accelerate the maturity thereof or enforce any lien securing the same; and (v) that no litigation or administrative proceeding has been instituted by or against Borrower which if adversely determined could constitute a Material Adverse Effect (or, if such should not be the fact, then the facts and circumstances relating to such event or litigation in detail) and covering such other matters relating to Borrower, the Loan or the Collateral as Lender may reasonably require.
31
4.13 Construction and Completion of Improvements. Borrower will commence construction of the Project on or before April 1, 2014 or such earlier date as may be required pursuant to the terms of any Project Covenant Documents and thereafter diligently and
continuously prosecute the completion of construction of the Project in compliance with the Plans. The Plans must have been approved in accordance with applicable zoning ordinances, public and private building and use restrictions applicable to the Land and Improvements; and all other Laws, restrictive covenants or requirements of governmental authorities including the Project Covenant Documents and the Governmental Approvals and those of the appropriate board of fire underwriters or its equivalent and all other applicable agreement. Borrower will cause (a) Completion of Construction to occur on or before the Required Completion Date, subject to extension in Lender’s sole discretion as a result of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, and (b) the Improvements to be constructed in such a manner and on such a schedule so that at all times during the pendency of the Loan, the Inspecting Architect must be of the opinion that the Completion of Construction will occur on or prior to the Required Completion Date.
4.14 Preparation of Plans. Borrower will cause the Plans to be prepared by the Architect and approved by Borrower, the Contractor and the Architect. All Plans will be reviewed and determined to be satisfactory by the Inspecting Architect, have all Governmental Approvals and the approval of all other entities and Persons with a right to approve any aspect of the work, including without limitation, any parties to the Project Covenant Documents.
4.15 Changes in Construction and Development Documents.
(a) Except for Minor Change Orders, no changes in the Plans or the other Construction and Development Documents (including change orders) will be effective, unless approved in writing in advance by Lender, as described below. Lender’s approval will be required for changes in the Plans or the other Construction and Development Documents which are not Minor Change Orders.
(b) Borrower will obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all approvals or consents from other Persons of any changes in the Plans or other Construction and Development Documents (including change orders) that are required by Law or under any other agreement with respect to the Land or Improvements (including any Project Covenant Documents and the Governmental Approvals). Borrower will deliver to Lender and the Inspecting Architect any documentation required by Lender pertaining to any such change. Lender will respond within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Lender and the Inspecting Architect of all documentation necessary to evaluate a requested change, and Lender will not approve any changes until Borrower has obtained all other approvals that Lender determines are required from other parties. If Lender determines that any change may increase the cost of completion of the Improvements in excess of the amount of any category as shown on the Development Budget (“Category”), Lender may demand that Borrower deposit additional funds sufficient to cover the increased costs as a condition to giving its approval, such funds to be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Article 6.
(c) At any time that Lender’s consent or approval is required with respect to the Plans, any of the other Construction and Development Documents, construction of the Improvements and the cost thereof, or changes to any of the foregoing, Lender may, without obligation, rely conclusively on the opinion of the Inspecting Architect.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the Project achieving a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25 or greater, the cash collateral or Letter of Credit, as applicable, will be released and returned to Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be. In the event that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit issues a notice of non-renewal of the Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit is not otherwise renewed on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to such Letter of Credit’s then applicable expiration date and Borrower does not or Borrower does not cause to be deposited with Lender cash to be held as additional collateral for the Loan in lieu of the Letter of Credit in an amount equivalent to that of the Letter of Credit, in either such case, Lender shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit and hold such proceeds as additional collateral for the Loan.

The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 4.29 will remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 4.29 constitute, and this Section 4.29 is deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.

(i) If such Event of Default is specified in Sections 9.1(p) or 9.1(q), the Lender’s Commitment immediately and automatically terminates and Lender has no further obligation to make Disbursements, and the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations immediately become due and payable.
56
(ii) If such Event of Default is specified in any clause in Section 9.1 except Sections 9.1(p) or 9.1(q), Lender may take one or more of the following actions: (x) terminate the Lender’s Commitment, whereupon Lender is under no further obligation to make Disbursements; (y) declare the unpaid principal amount of the Loan then outstanding and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations to be due and payable, whereupon the same will immediately become due and payable to Lender; and (z) exercise any and all remedies and other rights provided pursuant to any Loan Document, at Law or in equity, including, without limitation, draw on the Letter of Credit and apply such proceeds or the proceeds of any cash collateral held in lieu of such Letter of Credit to amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2, each Loan Party expressly waives presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind. Borrower hereby expressly waives and covenants not to assert any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, redemption or similar Laws, now or at any time hereafter in force, which might delay, prevent or otherwise impede the performance or enforcement of any Loan Document.
(iii) Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits of Borrower (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document to Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not Lender or any such Affiliate will have made any demand under any Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 9.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender or its Affiliates may have. Lender agrees to notify Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
(iv) Whether or not the maturity of the Loan has been accelerated pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2, Lender may proceed to protect and enforce Lender’s rights by suit in equity, action at Law and/or other appropriate proceeding, for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including as permitted by applicable Law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount becomes due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of Lender.
(b) From and after the date on which Lender has taken any action pursuant to this Article 9 and until all Obligations have been paid in full, any and all proceeds received by Lender from any disposition of any Collateral or the exercise of any other remedy by Lender, will be applied as follows:
(i) First, to reimburse Lender for any additional compensation due pursuant to Section 3.12 and for out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and legal expenses incurred by
57
Lender in connection with realizing on any Collateral or collection of any obligations of Loan Parties under any of the Loan Documents, including advances made subsequent to an Event of Default by Lender for the maintenance, preservation, protection or enforcement of, or realization upon, any Collateral, advances for Impositions, insurance, repairs and the like and reasonable expenses incurred to sell or otherwise realize on, or prepare for sale or other realization on, any of the Collateral.
(ii) Second, to the repayment of all Obligations in the order determined by Lender in its discretion as to principal, interest, fees or other amounts; and
(iii) Third, the balance, if any, as required by Law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party are to be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under any of its Guaranties (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranties) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party’s Collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities; provided, however, to the extent possible, appropriate adjustments are to be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Loan Parties that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth herein.
(c) In addition to all of the rights and remedies contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation the right to appoint a receiver and all other rights described in the Mortgage, Lender has all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable Law, all of which rights and remedies are cumulative and nonexclusive, to the extent permitted by Law.
(d) Lender may enter the Land and Improvements and take any and all actions necessary in its judgment to (i) secure, protect and preserve the Improvements and any materials or supplies located on the Land, (ii) complete in part or in full the construction of the Improvements, including, but not limited to, making changes in the Plans, and entering into, and, subject to the terms thereof, modifying or terminating the Construction and Development Documents and other contractual arrangements. If Lender elects to continue with the construction of the Improvements, Lender will not assume any liability to Borrower or any other Person for completing the Improvements or for the manner or quality of construction of the Improvements, and Borrower expressly waives any such liability. Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to complete the Improvements in Borrower’s name or Lender may elect to complete construction in its name. Borrower will cooperate with Lender in hiring a third party manager and/or contractor for the Project. In any event, all sums actually expended by Lender in completing construction or otherwise exercising its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents will be secured by the Mortgage and all other Collateral Documents and will bear interest at the Default Rate.
9.3 Notice of Sale. Any notice required to be given by Lender of a sale, lease, or other disposition of any Collateral or any other intended action by Lender, if given five (5) Business Days prior to such proposed action, constitutes commercially reasonable and fair notice thereof to Borrower.
58
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Modifications, Amendments or Waivers. Except as may be otherwise provided in any Loan Document, Lender and Borrower may from time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of any Loan Document or the rights of Lender or Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, and Lender may grant written waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder. Such agreements, waivers or consents will bind all Loan Parties. Guarantor hereby expressly and knowingly acknowledges, consents and agrees that Lender is entitled to do any or all of the forgoing, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of Guarantor, notwithstanding that any of the forgoing increases the risk to the Guarantor.
10.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under any Loan Document will affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of Lender under any Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they could otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Lender with respect to any breach or default under any Loan Document or any waiver of any provision or condition of any Loan Document must be in writing and will be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
10.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower will pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and its Affiliates, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Lender, in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents, or any amendments or modifications thereto or waivers of the provisions thereof, whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated, and (ii) the enforcement or protection of Lender’s or such Affiliate’s rights (A) in connection with the Loan Documents, or (B) in connection with the Loan, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan.
(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower will indemnify Lender and its Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including Borrower or any other Loan Party) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party, and regardless of whether any
59
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity will not be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the transactions contemplated thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee is liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, Electronic Format or other information transmission systems in connection with any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.3 are payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.
10.4 Holidays. Whenever payment of any portion of the Loan is due on a day that is not a Business Day such payment will be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2 with respect to LIBOR Interest Periods under the LIBOR Option) and such extension of time may be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Loan will be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loan) will be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action must be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time may not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.
10.5 Notices; Effectiveness: Electronic Communication; Platform.
(a) Notices Generally. All notices and other communications provided for herein must be in writing and delivered in Electronic Format (subject to Section 10.5(b) below), by hand or overnight courier service to the Loan Parties and Lender at the respective address set forth on Schedule 10.5. Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service are deemed to have been given when received.
(b) Electronic Format Communications. Notices and other communications to Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished in Electronic Format pursuant to procedures approved by Lender. Lender or Borrower may in its discretion agree to accept notices and other communications hereunder in Electronic Format pursuant to procedures approved by the receiving party; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any notices or other communication sent to either Borrower or Lender by Electronic Format shall only be deemed given and shall only be effective upon acknowledgement of notice of receipt by the recipient.
60
(c) Change of Address, etc. Any party may change its address, e-mail address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties given in accordance with this Section 10.5.
10.6 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction such provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
10.7 Duration; Survival. All representations and warranties of Loan Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith survive the making of the Loan or, to the extent explicitly set forth in any Loan Document, payment in full of the Obligations, and are not waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by Lender, or the making of the Loan. All covenants and agreements of Loan Parties contained herein will continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof until termination of the Lender’s Commitment and payment in full of the Obligations. All covenants and agreements of Borrower contained in any Loan Document relating to the payment of increased costs, additional compensation, expenses or indemnification survive payment in full of the Obligations.
10.8 Prior Understanding. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto and thereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein, including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
10.9 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may, at its own cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any part of the Loan. Upon surrender of any note subject to such assignment, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a replacement note to the assignee in an amount equal to the amount of the Loan assumed by it and a new note to the assignor in an amount equal to the Loan retained by it. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, may be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns and participants permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
61
(b) Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment will release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto.
10.10 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to any Affiliates and Related Parties of Lender, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential; (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.10, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Borrower any other Loan Parties, or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Loan Party, or the credit facility provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facility provided for herein; (h) with the consent of Borrower, or any other Loan Party whose consent is required; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.10, or (y) becomes available to Lender or any of its Affiliates on a not confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or the other Loan Parties. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.10 is considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain confidentiality as such Person could accord to its own confidential information.
10.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which constitutes an original, but all of which when taken together constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Lender, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement becomes effective only when Lender (i) executes this Agreement, and (ii) Lender receives counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in Electronic Format is as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, provided that Lender retains the right to require delivery of an original signature page in addition to any signature delivered via Electronic Format.
62
10.12 Exceptions. The representations and warranties and covenants contained herein are independent of each other, and no exception to any representation, warranty or covenant will be deemed to be an exception to any other representation, warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor will any such exceptions be deemed to permit any action or omission that could be in contravention of applicable Law.
10.13 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Loan Parties and Lender. No trust fund is created by this Agreement and no other Persons or entities will have any right of action under this Agreement or any right against Lender to obtain any proceeds of the Loan.
10.14 Authority to File Notices. Borrower appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to file for record, at Borrower’s cost and expense and in Borrower’s name, any notices that Lender considers reasonably necessary or desirable to protect the Collateral; such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
10.15 Signs; Publicity. Borrower may, at Borrower’s expense, erect a sign or signs as reasonably approved by Lender upon the Land and Improvements at any reasonable location indicating the source of the development and construction financing. The announcement of, and the issuance of any publicity with respect to, the Loan and the transactions contemplated hereby will be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. To the extent permitted by Law and at the request of Lender, Borrower will install, at Borrower’s expense, a sign(s) of Lender’s choosing on the Land, stating that construction financing is provided by Lender. Any such sign(s) will be located at or near the entrance to the project or at another mutually acceptable location which will permit the viewing of the sign(s) by the public.
10.16 Interpretation. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the other Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement control.
10.17 Status of Parties. It is understood and agreed that the relationship of the parties hereto is that of borrower and lender and that nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents will be construed to constitute a partnership, joint venture or co-tenancy among Loan Parties or Lender.
10.18 Brokerage Fee. Loan Parties represent to Lender that no broker or other Person is entitled to a brokerage fee or commission as a result of Loan Parties’ actions or undertakings in connection with the financing of the Improvements and agree to hold Lender harmless from all claims for brokerage commissions which may be made as a result of such actions or undertakings, if any.
10.19 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.
(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
63
(b) JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST LENDER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF LENDER, IN ANY WAY RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR TRANSACTIONS RELATED TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA SITTING IN PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WHERE THE PROJECT IS LOCATED, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH PENNSYLVANIA OR FLORIDA STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING IS CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT AFFECTS ANY RIGHT THAT LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 10.19. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.5, EXCEPT THAT PROCESS MAY NOT BE SERVED BY ELECTRONIC MEANS. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
10.20 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
64
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON COULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.20.
10.21 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal Law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower that opens an account. What this means: when Borrower opens an account, the bank will ask for the business name, business address, taxpayer identifying number and other information that will allow the bank to identify Borrower, such as organizational documents. For some businesses and organizations, the bank may also need to ask for identifying information and documentation relating to certain individuals associated with the business or organization.
10.22 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each obligation of Loan Parties and Lender hereunder.
