(b) Lender agrees, upon Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Loan Opening and provided the Loan is In Balance, no Material Adverse Change has occurred with respect to Borrower, any Guarantor, or the Project and no material default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, to Open the Loan to reimburse Borrower for a portion of the costs incurred by Borrower in connection with the development of the Project and the construction of the Improvements, to the extent provided for in the Budget.

Borrower authorizes Lender to disburse the Loan proceeds by crediting the Operating Account; provided, however, that Lender shall not be obligated to use such method.

All references herein to the Maturity Date shall mean Initial Maturity Date, provided that Borrower shall have the right to: (i) subject to the terms of Section 4.3(b), extend the Maturity Date for an additional twelve (12) month term (the “First Extension Option”), thereby, extending the Maturity Date to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Initial Maturity Date (the “First Extended Maturity Date”); and (ii) subject to the terms of Section 4.3(b), extend the Maturity Date for a second additional twelve (12) month term (the “Second Extension Option”), thereby, extending the Maturity Date to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the First Extended Maturity Date (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”).

(vi) Lender determines, based on Borrower’s written affidavit and such supporting data and other evidence as the Lender may reasonably require, that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not less than 1.20:1.00. In the event this Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not met, Borrower may satisfy this Debt Service Coverage Ratio prior to the Initial Maturity Date by making a voluntary paydown of the Loan, together with a mutually agreed-upon reduction to the committed amount of the Loan, so that the Loan Amount and maximum committed amount of the Loan, after giving effect to such paydown and reduction, does not exceed the amount which results in a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.20:1.00 (based, for purposes of this calculation, on the annualized amounts of Net Operating Income and Total Annual Debt Service for the Project for the 3-month period ending on the April 30th immediately preceding the Initial Maturity Date). In connection with Borrower’s notice of its election to exercise the First Extension Option, Borrower will submit or cause to be submitted to Lender all documentation evidencing satisfaction of the above required Debt Service Coverage Ratio together with an affidavit from an officer of Borrower, in a form satisfactory to Lender, affirming that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.20:1.00.

(iv) Such notice is accompanied by an extension fee in the amount of fifteen basis points (0.15%) of the Loan Amount;
(v) No Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, and no even exists which would be an Event of Default following notice and/or if not cured within the time allowed; and
(vi) Lender determines, based on Borrower’s written affidavit and such supporting data and other evidence as the Lender may require, that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not less than 1.25:1.00. In the event this Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not met, Borrower may satisfy this Debt Service Coverage Ratio prior to the First Extended Maturity Date by making a voluntary paydown of the Loan, together with a mutually agreed-upon reduction to the committed amount of the Loan, so that the Loan Amount and maximum committed amount of the Loan, after giving effect to such paydown and reduction, does not exceed the amount which results in a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25:1.00 (based, for purposes of this calculation, on the annualized amounts of Net Operating Income and Total Annual Debt Service for the Project for the 3-month period ending on the April 30th immediately preceding the First Extended Maturity Date). In connection with Borrower’s notice of its election to exercise the Second Extension Option, Borrower will submit or cause to be submitted to Lender all documentation evidencing satisfaction of the above required Debt Service Coverage Ratio together with an affidavit from an officer of Borrower, in a form satisfactory to Lender, affirming that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.25:1.00.

If the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 4.3 above, then commencing on the tenth (10th) day of the first calendar month following the Initial Maturity Date and continuing on the tenth (10th) day of each succeeding calendar month thereafter through and including the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month in which the Maturity Date occurs, Borrower shall make monthly payments of principal and interest in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the Initial Maturity Date, with the principal component of such monthly payment amount determined based on an amortization period of thirty (30) years and the Assumed Interest Rate. The manner in which each payment shall be applied to principal and interest shall be determined by Lender at the time Borrower extends the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 4.3 above. For avoidance of doubt, prior to the Initial Maturity Date, scheduled monthly payments shall consist of interest only payments at the Applicable Rate (unless the Default Rate is applicable) on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
| - 17 - |

INTEREST
5.1 Interest Rate.
(a) The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Adjusted Daily LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”, except that the Adjusted One Month LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate” with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect. For each disbursement of proceeds of the loan, Borrower shall deliver to Lender irrevocable notice (which may be (i) verbal notice provided that Borrower delivers to Lender facsimile confirmation within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice or (ii) electronic mail notice within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice) of the requested amount of such disbursement, not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time on the third LIBOR Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement. Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on the tenth (10th) day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid. The first payment of interest on the Loan shall be due on June 10, 2014. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrower’s account only if received by 1:00 p.m. Cleveland time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
(b) Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Rate Option”) to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth the Adjusted One Month LIBOR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Adjusted Daily LIBOR Rate.
(c) The only manner in which Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by giving Lender irrevocable written notice in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto not later than 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower is electing the LIBOR Rate Option and (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Adjusted Daily LIBOR Rate as of the last day of the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless Borrower again exercises the LIBOR Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). Lender shall be under no duty to notify Borrower that the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from the Adjusted One Month LIBOR Rate to the Adjusted Daily LIBOR Rate. With the exception of advances to pay interest on the Loan, the LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with respect to any portion of the Loan equal to or in excess of $500,000.00. At no time may there be more than four (4) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower shall elect a LIBOR Rate Option, only so much of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as would not become due and payable during the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period shall accrue interest at the Adjusted One Month LIBOR Rate and the remaining principal balance shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Daily LIBOR Rate.
| - 18 - |
(d) If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the portion of the Loan for which Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrower and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period.
(e) Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.
(f) Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lender upon demand.
(g) If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the LIBOR Rate Option as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (i) Lender shall notify Borrower that Lender is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (ii) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (iii) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Prime Rate, and (iv) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a LIBOR Rate Interest Period.
(h) The Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate at any time at which an Event of Default shall exist.
5.2 Interest Rate Agreements.
(a) Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate Agreement entered into by Borrower and Lender shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lender of the proceeds of the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note.
| - 19 - |
(b) Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to Lender for the benefit of Lender any and all Interest Rate Protection Products purchased or to be purchased by Borrower in connection with the Loan, as additional security for the Loan, and agrees to provide Lender with any additional documentation requested by Lender in order to confirm or perfect such security interest during the term of the Loan. If Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other than Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such third party’s consent to such collateral assignment. No Interest Rate Protection Product purchased from a third party may be secured by an interest in Borrower or the Project.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the Borrower shall not enter into any Interest Rate Protection Product. At Borrower's option, Borrower may institute an interest rate hedging program through the purchase of an Interest Rate Protection Product with respect to the Loan. The Interest Rate Protection Product, the portion of the Loan (if less than the entire Loan Amount) to which such Interest Rate Protection Product shall apply, and the financial institution providing the Interest Rate Protection Product, shall be subject to Lender's prior reasonable written approval. Borrower shall afford Lender a right of first opportunity to provide all Interest Rate Protection Products but shall not be required to purchase such Interest Rate Protection Product from Lender.

(a) Borrower recognizes that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrower agrees to pay Lender additional amounts to compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrower as a result of:
(i) any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof) (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be charged again the Reserve Percentage already accounted for in the definition of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate),, or (C) imposing on Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by Lender under the Loan Documents; or
(ii) the maintenance by Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).
(b) If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.
| - 20 - |
(c) Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.
6.2 Borrower Withholding.
If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Note to the maximum extent permitted by law, the sum due from Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

BUDGET AND CONTINGENCY FUND
10.1 Budget.
Disbursement of the Loan shall be governed by the Budget for the Project, in form and substance acceptable to Lender in Lender’s reasonable discretion. The Budget shall specify the amount of cash equity invested in the Project, and all costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatever to be incurred by Borrower in connection with the Project. The Budget shall include, in addition to the Budget Line Items described in Section 10.2 below, the Contingency Fund described in Section 10.3 below, and amounts satisfactory to Lender for soft costs and other reserves acceptable to Lender. The initial Budget (which is deemed approved by Lender) is attached hereto as Exhibit G and made a part hereof. Once the Budget is approved by Lender all changes to the Budget shall in all respects be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
| - 26 - |
10.2 Budget Line Items.
The Budget shall include as line items (“Budget Line Items”), to the extent determined to be applicable by Lender in its reasonable discretion, the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed for the completion of the Construction, and all other costs, fees and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction of the Improvements, operating deficits, real estate taxes, and all other sums due in connection with the Construction and operation of the Project, the Loan, and this Agreement. Borrower agrees that all Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such proceeds were disbursed. With the prior approval of Lender (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any cost savings, actual or estimated, affecting any Budget Line Items, other than the Interest Reserve, may be reallocated by Borrower to any other line item within the Budget.
Lender shall not be obligated to disburse any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Budget Line Item. Borrower shall pay as they become due all amounts set forth in the Budget with respect to costs to be paid for by Borrower.
10.3 Contingency Fund.
The Budget shall contain a Budget Line Item designated for the Contingency Fund. Borrower may from time to time request that the Contingency Fund be reallocated to pay needed costs of the Project (but in no event shall the Contingency Fund be reallocated to the Development Fee). Such requests shall be subject to Lender’s written approval in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be entitled without Lender’s written approval (i) to reallocate to other Budget Line Items (excluding the Development Fee) the soft cost portion of the Contingency Fund; and (ii) with respect to the hard cost portion of the Contingency Fund, to reallocate to other Budget Line Items (excluding the Development Fee) a portion of the hard cost portion of the Contingency Fund equal to the percentage of completion of the Improvements up to an aggregate amount of One Hundred Thousand and No/100th Dollars ($100,000.00); provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, any reallocation of the hard cost portion of the Contingency Fund in excess of One Hundred Thousand and No/100th Dollars ($100,000.00) must be approved in writing by Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. For example, if the Improvements are twenty-five percent (25%) complete, then Borrower’s right to reallocate the hard cost portion of the Contingency Fund (not exceeding One Hundred Thousand and No/100th Dollars [$100,000.00]) without Lender’s written approval shall apply to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Contingency Fund (not exceeding One Hundred Thousand and No/100th Dollars [$100,000.00]).
Borrower agrees that the decision with respect to utilizing portions of the Contingency Fund in order to keep the Loan In Balance shall be made by Lender in its reasonable discretion, and that Lender may require Borrower to make a Deficiency Deposit even if funds remain in the Contingency Fund. Once the Project begins to generate Net Operating Income, Borrower may only borrow from the Loan interest in excess of the Net Operating Income so generated.
| - 27 - |
10.4 Optional Method for Payment of Interest.
For Borrower’s benefit, the Budget includes a Budget Line Item for interest payments on the Loan and, with Lender’s approval, amounts due from Borrower under any Interest Rate Agreement with respect to the Loan. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender from time to time, for the mutual convenience of Lender and Borrower, to disburse Loan proceeds to pay all the then accrued interest on the Note and to pay amounts due from Borrower under any Interest Rate Agreement with respect to the Loan, regardless of whether Borrower shall have specifically requested a disbursement of such amount. Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall, when disbursed, bear interest at the Applicable Rate. The authorization hereby granted, however, shall not obligate Lender to make disbursements of the Loan for interest payments or any amount due under any Interest Rate Agreement (except upon Borrower’s qualifying for and requesting disbursement of that portion of the proceeds of the Loan allocated for such purposes in the Budget) nor prevent Borrower from paying accrued interest or amounts due under any Interest Rate Agreement from its own funds. Provided no Event of Default or material Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender agrees to make such disbursements for interest payments prior to the date on which such interest payments are due hereunder.

SUFFICIENCY OF LOAN
11.1 Loan In Balance.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Loan shall at all times be “In Balance”, on a Budget Line Item and an aggregate basis. A Budget Line Item shall be deemed to be “In Balance” only if Lender in its reasonable discretion determines that the amount of such Budget Line Item, after taking into account any portion of the Contingency Fund which Borrower is permitted to reallocate without Lender's consent pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Agreement and reallocated cost savings approved by Lender in accordance with Section 10.2 of this Agreement and change orders expressly permitted under Section 15.1(c) or otherwise approved in writing by Lender, is sufficient for its intended purpose. The Loan shall be deemed to be “In Balance” in the aggregate only when the total of the undisbursed portion of the Loan, less any portion of the Contingency Fund which Borrower is not entitled to re-allocate without Lender's prior reasonable approval pursuant to Section 10.3 above, and after taking into account reallocated cost savings approved by Lender in accordance with Section 10.2 of this Agreement and change orders expressly permitted under Section 15.1(c) or otherwise approved in writing by Lender, equals or exceeds the aggregate of (a) the costs required to complete the construction of the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and the Budget; (b) the amounts to be paid as retainages to persons who have supplied labor or materials to the Project; (c) the amount in excess of the projected (i.e. projected pursuant to the pro forma delivered per Section 8.1(k)) Net Operating Income required to pay interest on the Loan through the Maturity Date; and (d) all other hard and soft costs not yet paid for in connection with the Project, as such costs and amounts described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) may be estimated and/or approved in writing by Lender from time to time. Borrower agrees that if for any reason, in Lender’s reasonable discretion and upon receipt of certification from Lender’s construction consultants confirming the same, the amount of such undistributed Loan proceeds shall at any time be or become insufficient for such purpose regardless of how such condition may be caused, Borrower will, within ten (10) days after written request by Lender, deposit the deficiency with Lender (“Deficiency Deposit”). The Deficiency Deposit shall first be exhausted before any further disbursement of Loan proceeds shall be made. Lender shall not be obligated to make any Loan disbursements if and for as long as the Loan is not In Balance.

12.2 Monthly Payouts.
After the Opening of the Loan, further disbursements shall be made during Construction from time to time as the Construction progresses, but Lender shall have no obligation to make disbursements (excluding disbursements for debt service) more frequently than once in each calendar month; provided, however, that Lender will consider other occasional disbursements of Loan proceeds for one item per month (but Lender shall have no obligation to make such occasional disbursements and in no event shall Lender be obligated to consider more than one full draw request per calendar month). At Lender’s option, disbursements may be made by Lender into an escrow and subsequently disbursed to Borrower by the Title Insurer. If such option is exercised, those Loan proceeds shall be deemed to be disbursed to Borrower from the date of deposit into that escrow and interest shall accrue on those proceeds from that date, regardless of the date such proceeds are released by the Title Insurer.
12.3 Documents to be Furnished for Each Disbursement.
As a condition precedent to each disbursement of the Loan proceeds (including the initial disbursement at the Opening of the Loan), Borrower shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender the following documents covering each disbursement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender:

(c) Paid invoices or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that fixtures and equipment, if any, have been paid for and are free of any lien or security interest therein;
(d) A “Construction Loan Update” endorsement to the Title Policy issued to Lender in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto and made a part hereof as covering the date of disbursement and showing the Mortgage as a first, prior and paramount lien on the Project subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and real estate taxes that have accrued but are not yet due and payable and particularly that nothing has intervened to affect the validity or priority of the Mortgage;
(e) Copies of any proposed or executed Change Orders on standard AIA G701 form which have not been previously furnished to Lender and which require and are not valid without the signatures of the General Contractor, Borrower and Architect;

(g) All Required Permits and all other Governmental Approvals then needed in connection with the Project; and
(h) Such other instruments, documents and information as Lender or the Title Insurer may reasonably request.
| - 29 - |
Disbursements shall be made approximately ten (10) days after receipt of all information required by Lender to approve the requested disbursements. To the extent that any submittal by Borrower contains insufficient information, Lender agrees to provide notice of the same within ten (10) days of submittal.
12.4 Retainages.
At the time of each disbursement of Loan proceeds, the Applicable Retention Amount of the total amount then due the General Contractor and the various contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers for costs of the Construction shall be withheld from the amount disbursed. The retained Loan amounts for the Construction costs will be disbursed only at the time of the final disbursement of Loan proceeds under Article 13 below; provided, however, upon the satisfactory completion of one hundred percent (100%) of the work with respect to any trade (including any trade performed by the General Contractor) or the delivery of all materials pursuant to a purchase order in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as certified by the Architect and the Lender’s Consultant, Lender may decide on a case by case basis (but shall not be obligated) to permit retainages with respect to such trade or order, as the case may be, to be disbursed to Borrower upon the Lender’s Consultant’s reasonable approval of all work and materials and Lender’s receipt of a final waiver of lien with respect to such completed work or delivered materials.
12.5 Disbursements for Materials Stored On-Site.
Any requests for disbursements which in whole or in part relate to materials, equipment or furnishings which Borrower owns and which are not incorporated into the Improvements as of the date of the request for disbursement, but are to be temporarily stored at the Project, shall be made in an aggregate amount not to exceed One Million and No/100th Dollars ($1,000,000.00). Any such request must be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender that (a) such stored materials are included within the coverages of insurance policies carried by Borrower, (b) the ownership of such materials is vested in Borrower free of any liens and claims of third parties, (c) such materials are properly insured and protected against theft or damage, (d) the Lender’s Consultant has viewed and inspected the stored materials, and (e) in the reasonable opinion of the Lender’s Consultant the stored materials are physically secured and can be incorporated into the Project within ninety (90) days. Lender may require separate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements to cover any such stored materials.
12.6 Disbursements for Offsite Materials.

All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan. Notwithstanding Lender’s holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall obligate Lender to pay any insurance premiums or real property taxes with respect to any portion of the Project unless the Event of Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Lender.

21.3 Governing Law.
Irrespective of the place of execution and/or delivery, this Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia.

21.5 Disclaimer by Lender.
This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other person or persons shall have any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, or by reason of any actions taken by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Lender shall not be liable to any contractors, subcontractors, supplier, architect, engineer, tenant or other party for labor or services performed or materials supplied in connection with the Construction. Lender shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any such parties against Borrower or others or against the Project. Lender, by making the Loan or taking any action pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Borrower or fiduciary of Borrower. No payment of funds directly to a contractor or subcontractor or provider of services shall be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary status or recognition of same by the Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(a) Lender shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Construction. Any inspections of the Construction made by or through Lender are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely upon the same with respect to the quality, adequacy or suitability of materials or workmanship, conformity to the Plans and Specifications, state of completion or otherwise;
(b) Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with the Project, including matters relating to the quality, adequacy or suitability of: (i) the Plans and Specifications, (ii) architects, contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers employed or utilized in connection with the Construction, or the workmanship of or the materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress or course of Construction and its conformity or nonconformity with the Plans and Specifications; Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information to Borrower by Lender in connection with such matters is for the protection of Lender only, and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon; and
| - 47 - |
(c) Lender owes no duty of care to protect Borrower, Guarantor, or any Tenant against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective building or construction.
21.6 Partial Invalidity; Severability.
If any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or provisions to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
21.7 Definitions Include Amendments.
Definitions contained in this Agreement which identify documents, including, but not limited to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of Lender.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower to Lender, embody the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
21.10 Waiver of Damages.
In no event shall Lender be liable to Borrower for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower for itself and its Guarantors waive all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.
21.11 Claims Against Lender.
Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within three (3) months after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender’s ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrower with regard to the Loan. No Guarantor or Tenant is intended to have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 21.11.
| - 48 - |
21.12 Jurisdiction.
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY LENDER. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), BORROWER IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF ATLANTA, COUNTY OF XXXXXX AND STATE OF GEORGIA, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BORROWER FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY GEORGIA STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF ATLANTA AND COUNTY OF XXXXXX MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
21.13 Set-Offs.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender from time to time to charge Borrower’s accounts and deposits with Lender (or its Affiliates), and to pay over to Lender an amount equal to any amounts from time to time due and payable to Lender hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan Document. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and to all such accounts and deposits maintained by the Borrower with Lender (or its Affiliates).
21.14 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Arbitration. Except to the extent expressly provided below, any Dispute shall, upon the request of either party, be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, Xxxxx 0, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (or if not applicable, the applicable state Law), the then-current rules for arbitration of financial services disputes of AAA and the “Special Rules” set forth below. In the event of any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control. The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of Borrower or Lender, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Dispute to arbitration. Any party to this Agreement may bring an action, including a summary or expedited proceeding, to compel arbitration of any Dispute in any court having jurisdiction over such action. For the purposes of this Dispute Resolution Section only, the terms “party” and “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described in or evidenced by this Agreement, together with the officers, employees, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.
| - 49 - |
(b) Special Rules.
(i) The arbitration shall be conducted in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral is located, or if there is no such collateral, in the city and county where Lender is located pursuant to its address for notice purposes in this Agreement.
(ii) The arbitration shall be administered by AAA, who will appoint an arbitrator. If AAA is unwilling or unable to administer or legally precluded from administering the arbitration, or if AAA is unwilling or unable to enforce or legally precluded from enforcing any and all provisions of this Dispute Resolution Section, then any party to this Agreement may substitute another arbitration organization that has similar procedures to AAA and that will observe and enforce any and all provisions of this Dispute Resolution Section. All Disputes shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if the amount in controversy in a Dispute exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Dispute shall be decided by three arbitrators (for purposes of this Agreement, referred to collectively as the “arbitrator”).
(iii) All arbitration hearings will be commenced within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and completed within ninety (90) days from the date of commencement; provided, however, that upon a showing of good cause, the arbitrator shall be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days.
(iv) The judgment and the award, if any, of the arbitrator shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. The arbitrator shall provide a concise written statement setting forth the reasons for the judgment and for the award, if any. The arbitration award, if any, may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced, and such confirmation and enforcement shall not be subject to arbitration.
(v) The arbitrator will give effect to statutes of limitations and any waivers thereof in determining the disposition of any Dispute and may dismiss one or more claims in the arbitration on the basis that such claim or claims is or are barred. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Dispute is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit.
(vi) Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision, including any such dispute as to the validity or enforceability of this provision, or whether a Dispute is arbitrable, shall be determined by the arbitrator; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not be permitted to vary the express provisions of these Special Rules or the Reservations of Rights in subsection (c) below.
(vii) The arbitrator shall have the power to award legal fees and costs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(viii) The arbitration will take place on an individual basis without reference to, resort to, or consideration of any form of class or class action.
(c) Reservations of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) limit the applicability of any otherwise applicable statutes of limitation and any waivers contained in this Agreement, or (ii) apply to or limit the right of Lender (A) to exercise self help remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff, or (B) to foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property collateral, or to exercise judicial or nonjudicial power of sale rights, (C) to obtain from a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not limited to) injunctive relief, writ of possession, prejudgment attachment, or the appointment of a receiver, or (D) to pursue rights against a party to this Agreement in a third-party proceeding in any action brought against Lender in a state, federal or international court, tribunal or hearing body (including actions in specialty courts, such as bankruptcy and patent courts). Lender may exercise the rights set forth in clauses (A) through (D), inclusive, before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the exercise of self help remedies nor the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional or ancillary remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the claimant in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the Dispute occasioning resort to such remedies. No provision in the Loan Documents regarding submission to jurisdiction and/or venue in any court is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of the provisions in any Loan Document for arbitration of any Dispute.

(d) Conflicting Provisions for Dispute Resolution. If there is any conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Section and those of any other provision or agreement for arbitration or dispute resolution, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Section shall prevail as to any Dispute arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement, (ii) any other Loan Document, (iii) any related agreements or instruments, or (iv) the transaction contemplated herein or therein (including any claim based on or arising from an alleged personal injury or business tort). In any other situation, if the resolution of a given Dispute is specifically governed by another provision or agreement for arbitration or dispute resolution, the other provision or agreement shall prevail with respect to said Dispute.

Title Requirements
| 1. | Title Insurance Company Requirements. The maximum single risk (i.e., the amount insured under any one policy) by a title insurer may not exceed 25% of that insurer's surplus and statutory reserves. Reinsurance must be obtained by closing for any policy exceeding such amount. |
| 2. | Loan Policy Forms. Standard 1992 or 2006 American Land Title Association ("ALTA") form of loan title insurance policy, or the 1970 (amended October 17, 1970) ALTA loan form policies must be used. |
| 3. | Insurance Amount. The amount insured must equal at least the original principal amount of the Loan. |
| 4. | Named Insured. The named insured under the Title Policy must be substantially the same as the following: "KeyBank National Association, and its respective successors and assigns." |
| 5. | Creditors' Rights. Any "creditors' rights" exception or other exclusion from coverage for voidable transactions under bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, or other debtor protection laws or equitable principles must be removed by either an endorsement or a written waiver and an affirmative creditors’ rights endorsement (ALRA Endorsement 21) must be added. |
| 6. | Arbitration. In the event that the form policy which is utilized includes a compulsory arbitration provision, the insurer must agree that such compulsory arbitration provisions do not apply to any claims by or on behalf of the insured. Please note that the 1987 and 1992 ALTA form loan policies include such provisions. |
| 7. | Date of Policy. The effective date of the Title Policy must be as of the date and time of the closing. |
| 8. | Legal Description. The legal description of the property contained in the Title Policy must conform to (a) the legal description shown on the survey of the property, and (b) the legal description contained in the Mortgage. In any event, the Title Policy must be endorsed to provide that the insured legal description is the same as that shown on the survey. |
| 9. | Easements. Each Title Policy shall insure, as separate parcels: (a) all appurtenant easements and other estates benefiting the property, and (b) all other rights, title, and interests of the borrower in real property under reciprocal easement agreements, access agreements, operating agreements, and agreements containing covenants, conditions, and restrictions relating to the Project. |
| 10. | Exceptions to Coverage. With respect to the exceptions, the following applies: |
| a) | Each Title Policy shall afford the broadest coverage available in the state in which the subject property is located. |
| b) | The "standard" exceptions (such as for parties in possession or other matters not shown on public records) must be deleted. |
| c) | The "standard" exception regarding tenants in possession under residential leases, should also be deleted. For commercial properties, a rent roll should be attached in lieu of the general exception. |
| d) | The standard survey exception to the Title Policy must be deleted. Instead, a survey reading reflecting the current survey should be incorporated. |
| e) | Any exception for taxes, assessments, or other lienable items must expressly insure that such taxes, assessments, or other items are not yet due and payable. |
| f) | Any lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement of record must be listed in the Title Policy, and the Title Policy must affirmatively insure that the improvements do not encroach upon the insured easements or insure against all loss or damage due to such encroachment |
| g) | The Title Policy may not contain any exception for any filed or unfiled mechanics' or materialmen's liens. |
| h) | In the event that a comprehensive endorsement has been issued and any Schedule B exceptions continue to be excluded from the coverage provided through that endorsement, then a determination must be made whether such exceptions would be acceptable to Bank. In the event that it is determined that such exception is acceptable, a written explanation regarding the acceptability must be submitted as part of the delivery of the loan documents. |
If Schedule B indicates the presence of any easements that are not located on the survey, the Title Policy must provide affirmative insurance against any loss resulting from the exercise by the holder of such easement of its right to use or maintain that easement. ALTA Form 103.1 or an equivalent endorsement is required for this purpose.
| 11. | Endorsements. With respect to endorsements, the following applies: |
| a) | Each Title Policy must include an acceptable environmental protection lien endorsement on ALTA Form 8.1. Please note that Form 8.1 may take exception for an entire statute which contains one or more specific sections under which environmental protection liens could take priority over the Mortgage; provided, however, that such specific sections under which the lien could arise must also be referenced. |
| b) | Each Title Policy must contain an endorsement which provides that the insured legal description is the same as shown on the survey. |
| c) | Each Title Policy must contain a comprehensive endorsement (ALTA Form 9) if a lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement is listed in Schedule B to the title insurance policy. |
| d) | Lender may require the following endorsements where applicable and available: |
| -access | -due execution | -single tax lot | |

| a) | that no conditions, covenants, or restrictions of record affecting the property: |
| (i) | have been violated, |
| (ii) | create lien rights which prime the insured mortgage, |
| (iii) | contain a right of reverter or forfeiture, a right of reentry, or power of termination, or |
| (iv) | if violated in the future would result in the lien created by the insured mortgage or title to the property being lost, forfeited, or subordinated; and |
| b) | that except for temporary interference resulting solely from maintenance, repair, replacement, or alteration of lines, facilities, or equipment located in easements and rights of way taken as certain exceptions to each Title Policy, such exceptions do not and shall not prevent the use and operation of the Property or the improvements as used and operated on the effective date of the Title Policy. |
| 13. | Informational Matters. The Policy must include, as an informational note, the following: |
| a) | The recorded plat number together with recording information; and |
