*ACTIONABLE ENVIRONMENTAL ITEM (AEI): is the presence or likely presence of any
hazardous substance or petroleum product on a property under conditions that
indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release
into structures on the property or into the ground, ground water, or surface
water of the property. An AEI can include the potential threat of a release on
the property from another property (see section 4.0, Comment #2 of the HBI
Minimum Reporting Requirements). An AEI also includes asbestos, wetlands,
lead-based paint, and radon on the subject property or areas of regulatory
non-compliance (based on a multi-media compliance inspection as defined in
section 9.0 of the HBI Minimum Reporting Requirements) where these specific AEIs
were required to be evaluated in the scope of work because of their
applicability to the subject property. This term is not intended to include de
minimis conditions that generally do not present a material risk of harm to
public health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of

(b) the total of the Loan advances theretofore made; and
(c) at the election of Huntington, any combination of the
following further amounts:
(i) all or a portion of the amount by which any Hard
Costs or Soft Costs are or are reasonably estimated
by Huntington to be greater than the respective Loan
Budget Amounts for such costs; and
(ii) any costs covered by the Requisition not approved or
certified by Borrower, Project Architect or General
Contractor, as the case may be, any Hard Costs
covered by a previous Requisition for which Payment
6
Receipts have not been received by Huntington and any
Soft Costs covered by a previous Requisition for
which proof of payment has not been received by
Huntington; and
(iii) any costs covered by the Requisition and payable to a
major subcontractor or prime contractor not approved
by Huntington.
3.2 Borrower shall submit a Requisition for the Initial Advance
and for subsequent advances, not more frequently than monthly thereafter, and
for a final advance (except for advances for tenant improvements, soft costs and
accrued interest after completion) promptly upon Completion. Requisitions shall
conform to the Cost Breakdown and shall be received by Agent at least ten (10)
business days prior to the date of the requested advance. All advances to
Borrower are to be made at Xxxxxxxxxx's principal office or at such other place
as Agent may designate and shall be deposited in the Construction Loan Checking
Account.
3.3 Xxxxxxxx's Requisition, the progress of construction and the
conformity of the construction with the Plans is subject to Huntington's
verification and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Huntington shall engage the services of an independent outside architect for
such verification and approval to review plans, specifications and engineering
reports.
3.4 Retained Amounts shall be advanced upon the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 hereof, provided that Retained Amounts
with respect to future tenant improvements, if any, shall be separately retained
and advanced on a tenant by tenant basis.
3.5 Huntington may, in its sole discretion, advance all or any
portion of the amounts to be advanced hereunder, without regard to Xxxxxxxx's
satisfaction of the conditions precedent to its entitlement to Loan proceeds,
and no person dealing with Borrower or the General Contractor or any other
person shall have standing to demand any different performance from Huntington.
3.6 Huntington may require that Loan advances be disbursed through
a disbursing agent selected by Huntington and that disbursements be made
directly to General Contractor, subcontractors and materialmen. In such event,
interest shall accrue to Huntington from the time the Loan proceeds are advanced
to the disbursing agent. Further, Huntington may, in lieu of the presentation of
proofs of payment and Payment Receipts with the Requisition for the succeeding
month, require the immediate presentation of proofs of payment, Payment
Receipts, lien waivers and releases against the advance of Loan proceeds.
3.7 Huntington shall not make Loan advances for materials or
furnishings which are stored on the Property, but not yet affixed to or
incorporated into the Project, except in the case of major materials approved by
Huntington and intended to be incorporated into the Project pursuant to the
Plans, and then not until Huntington shall have received: (a) bills of sale and
other documentation evidencing payment in full for such materials, Borrower's
ownership thereof and the release of any right, title or lien in respect thereof
by any vendor; (b) evidence
7
that such materials are covered by the insurance policies required by the Loan
Documents and are identified and protected against loss, theft and damage in a
manner acceptable to Huntington; and (c) evidence that advances made by
Huntington for said materials do not, at any one time, exceed in the aggregate
Five Hundred Thousand And 00/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), inclusive of the amount
requested.
4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATION TO MAKE LOAN ADVANCES

and remain satisfied:
(a) Huntington shall have received a Requisition for the
Initial Advance or subsequent advance, as the case
may be;

by Xxxxxxxxxx's Counsel and (iii) acknowledge the
aggregate amount of Loan proceeds then advanced;
(c) For the advance immediately after any foundations
have been constructed, Huntington shall have received

foundation, certified to within ten (10) days of the

otherwise conforming to Huntington's Survey
Requirements, a copy of which is attached to the Loan
Commitment;
(d) Existing improvements on the Property, if any, shall
not have been materially injured or damaged by fire
or other casualty, unless Huntington shall have
received insurance proceeds sufficient in the
reasonable judgment of Huntington to effect the
satisfactory restoration of the said improvements and
to permit completion of said improvements prior to
the Completion Date pursuant to terms of disbursement
satisfactory to Huntington;
(e) The representations made in Section 6 hereof shall be
true and correct on and as of the date of the advance
with the same effect as if made on such date; and
(f) There shall exist no Event of Default under the Note
or Mortgage, as therein defined, or any event or
state of facts which after notice or the passage of
time, or both, could give rise to such an Event of
Default.
8
(g) Huntington shall have received copies of all Major
Subcontracts for the construction of the Project,
which subcontractors shall have been approved by
Huntington.
4.2 Huntington shall not be obligated to advance Retained Amounts
unless the following conditions precedent shall have been and remain satisfied:
(a) Huntington shall have received and approved evidence
that Completion has been achieved; and
(b) Huntington shall have received and approved an "as
built" survey of the Project and the Property,
certified to within ten (10) days of the advance to
Huntington and the Title Insurer, and otherwise
conforming to Huntington's Survey Requirements, a
copy of which has heretofore been furnished to
Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, Retained Amounts with respect to future
tenant improvements shall be separately retained and advanced on a tenant by
tenant basis.
4.3 Borrower shall cause the satisfaction of each and every of the
foregoing conditions precedent, whether precedent to the obligation to make the
Initial Advance, a subsequent advance or the advance of Retained Amounts.
5. ADJUSTMENTS TO COST BREAKDOWN
5.1 Borrower shall prepare, certify and provide to Huntington a
revised Cost Breakdown on AIA Document G703 with any Change Order provided to
Huntington as required under Section 2.8 hereof in addition to separate Cost
Breakdown.
5.2 If at any time Huntington gives notice to Borrower that, in
Xxxxxxxxxx's sole discretion, the undisbursed balance of the Loan Budget Amount
for any line item or category of cost shown on the Cost Breakdown is
insufficient to achieve Completion and to pay the Hard Costs and Soft Costs, as
the case may be, remaining unpaid, then Huntington may reallocate to such Loan
Budget Amount any excess in any other Loan Budget Amount balance that
Huntington, in its sole discretion, deems to be excessive. In such event,
Borrower shall prepare, certify and provide to Huntington a revised Cost
Breakdown on AIA Document G703.
5.3 Borrower may elect to reallocate any contingency line item(s)
to increases in Hard Costs, so long as the percentage of the original
contingency line item which has been reallocated to date does not exceed the
percentage of completion of construction of the Project. Final
9
documented cost savings in one line item may be reallocated to another line item
with the approval of Huntington in its reasonable discretion.
5.4 If at any time Huntington gives notice to Borrower that, in
Huntington's sole discretion, the undisbursed balance of the Loan, including
Retained Amounts, is insufficient to achieve Completion and to pay the Hard
Costs and Soft Costs remaining unpaid, Borrower, at its option, shall either:
(a) deposit with Huntington an amount equal to such deficiency, which Huntington
shall from time to time apply, or allow Borrower to apply, to such Hard Costs or
Soft Costs; or (b) make a payment against such Hard Costs or Soft Costs in the
amount of such deficiency so that the undisbursed balance of the Loan, including
Retained Amounts, shall be sufficient to achieve Completion and to pay the Hard
Costs and Soft Costs remaining unpaid, and shall furnish Huntington with such
evidence thereof as Huntington may require. In such event, Borrower shall
prepare, certify and provide to Huntington a revised Cost Breakdown on AIA
Document G703. Huntington shall have a lien on and security interest in any sums
deposited pursuant to clause (a) above. Borrower shall have no right to withdraw
any such sums, except for the payment of Hard Costs or Soft Costs approved by
Huntington. Any such sums not so used shall be released to Borrower upon
Completion. If prior to Completion, an Event of Default shall occur under the
Note or Mortgage, as defined therein, or any event or state of facts which after
notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such an Event of
Default, Huntington shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the State of Ohio, and may, at
its option, apply such sums either to the costs of completing the Project or to
the immediate reduction of outstanding principal or interest or both under the
Note.
6. BORROWER REPRESENTATIONS
6.1 Borrower represents that the Plans (to the extent the same
have been completed) are satisfactory to Borrower, have been reviewed and
approved by Guarantors, the General Contractor, Project Architect; by all
Governmental Authorities, to the extent required by applicable law; by each
beneficiary under any effective restrictive covenant; and by each tenant under
any lease covenant requiring plan approval. Further, that all construction, if
any, already performed on the Project has been performed in accordance with the
Plans approved by the persons named above and with any restrictive covenants
applicable thereto; there are no structural defects in the Project or violations
of any requirement of any Governmental Authorities with respect thereto; that
the planned use of the Project complies with applicable zoning ordinances,

and that all requirements for such use have been satisfied.

7. DEFAULT
7.1 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Note or
Mortgage, as defined therein, Borrower does hereby irrevocably authorize
Huntington to complete the acquisition, development, construction and equipping
of the Project and Property, with such changes as Huntington may, in its sole
discretion, deem appropriate, all at the risk, cost and expense of Borrower, but
Huntington is not obligated to do so. In the event that Huntington elects to
proceed under such authorization, Huntington may assume or reject any contract
entered into by Borrower in connection with the acquisition, development,
construction or equipping of the Project or the Property, may enter into
additional or different contracts for services, labor and materials required in
the judgment of Huntington to complete such acquisition, development,
construction or equipping, and may make, compromise and settle all claims in
connection with such acquisition, development, construction or equipping.
7.2 All sums expended by Huntington in completing the acquisition,
development, construction and equipping of the Project and the Property shall be
deemed advances made by Huntington to Borrower secured by the Mortgage and, to
the extent such advances exceed the Loan Amount, such advances shall be deemed
to be for the protection of the Mortgaged Property and Borrower shall repay such
sums upon demand together with interest from the date of each advance at the
Default Rate of Interest, as defined in the Note.
7.3 Huntington may at any time abandon acquisition, development,
construction and equipping of the Project and Property, after having commenced
it, and may recommence such acquisition, development, construction and equipping
of the Project and Property, upon Huntington's election to do so.
7.4 For the purposes of completing the acquisition, development,
construction and equipping of the Project and Property after an Event of Default
under the Note or Mortgage, as defined therein, Borrower does hereby irrevocably
appoint Huntington its attorney-in-fact with full power to take such action as
may be desirable in the judgment of Huntington to complete such acquisition,
development, construction and equipping, all in the name of Borrower.
7.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default under the Note or Mortgage, as defined therein, Borrower does
hereby irrevocably authorize Huntington to advance any undisbursed Loan proceeds
directly to the General Contractor, subcontractors, materialmen and other
persons to pay for Completion of the Project, but Huntington is under no
obligation to do so. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall
be necessary to warrant such direct advances and all such advances shall satisfy
pro tanto the obligations of Huntington hereunder and shall be secured by the
Loan Documents as fully as if made to Borrower, regardless of the disposition
thereof by the General Contractor or other person.
