Three (3) business days prior to the date of the proposed Loan Transaction, Borrower shall specify the Interest Period and shall specify the Loans to which such requested Interest Period is to relate. If Borrower fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan within the time period (i.e., three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the next applicable Interest Period) and otherwise as provided in this Section 2.02(a), such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan) will be automatically Continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan (based on LIBOR determined two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the next Interest Period). Requests for disbursements from the Purchaser Upgrade Account shall be delivered in writing as set forth above and shall contain such information and documentation as Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary, which shall in no event be greater than the information and document requirement for a Loan Advance.
- Funds for Borrowing. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to any Funding Date, Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders in writing of (i) its receipt of a Request for Loan Advance (and shall, within a reasonable time after being requested by a Lender, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Lender a copy of the Request for Loan Advance and supporting documentation), (ii) its determination that all conditions to the advance of Loan proceeds requested pursuant thereto have been satisfied by Borrower or, subject to Section 13 below, waived by Administrative Agent; and (iii) the Funding Date on which each Lender's Loan in respect thereof is required to be made.

Β
available to Administrative Agent by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(b) above (and such funds made available to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.11 below) in like funds, or funds from the Purchaser Upgrade Account, as applicable, at Borrower's direction as set forth in the Request for Loan Advance or Request for Purchaser Upgrade Account disbursement, or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of Administrative Agent, (i) to the Borrower for disbursement in accordance with the Request for Loan Advance and application in accordance with the requirements of the Loan Documents, (ii) directly to General Contractor or other party any costs payable to such party, or (iii) at the Borrower's expense, to the Title Company, with instructions to such Person to pay said monies to the parties as so instructed by Administrative Agent. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization to Administrative Agent to make direct advances provided for in this Section 2.02(c) and no further authorization from the Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances, and all such direct advances shall be secured by the Security Instrument as fully as if made directly to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by any party so paid. At Administrative Agent's request, any advance of Loan proceeds made by and through the Title Company may be made pursuant to the provisions of a construction escrow agreement in the form then in use by such company with such Modifications thereto as are reasonably required by Administrative Agent. Borrower agrees to join as a party to such escrow agreement and to comply with the requirements set forth therein (which shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the requirements contained in this Agreement) and to pay the fees and expenses of the Title Company charged in connection with the performance of its duties under such construction escrow agreement.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, and any other Loan Document, shall be made in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) at Administrative Agent's Account, not later than 12:00 noon Mountain time, on the date on which such payment shall be due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

- Payments to Lenders. Provided Administrative Agent has received such payment by 12:00 noon Mountain time, each payment received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document for account of the Lenders shall, to the extent reasonably possible, be paid by Administrative Agent to such Lender by 3:00 p.m. Mountain time on the Business Day on which Administrative Agent received such payment, in immediately available funds, at the account designated in writing by such Lender from time to time. If Administrative Agent has not received such payment by 12:00 noon Mountain time, such payment shall, to the extent reasonably possible, be paid by
Β
Administrative Agent to such Lender by 10:00 a.m. Mountain time on the next Business Day following the Business Day on which Administrative Agent received such payment, in immediately available funds, at the account designated in writing by such Lender from time to time.
(g) Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Without limiting the provisions of Section 13.11 below as to the Lenders, and Section 12.01 below as to Borrower, unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower, as the case may be (for the purposes of this Section 2.02(g), each a "Payor") prior to the date on which such Payor is required to make payment to Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(b) above) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Payor hereunder, or (in the case of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02(d) above) a payment to Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders hereunder (such payment being herein called a "Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that such Payor does not intend to make such Required Payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that such Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) of such Required Payment (a "Payee") on such date. If such Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, the Payee of such payment from Administrative Agent shall, within one (1) Business Day after Administrative Agent's demand therefor, repay to Administrative Agent the amount so paid together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the "Advance Date") such amount was so paid by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Rate for such day in the case of payments required to be returned to Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders, or (ii) the Applicable Interest Rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by the Borrower to Administrative Agent, and, if such Payee(s) shall fail to promptly make such payment, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the applicable Payor, together with interest at the aforesaid rates; provided, however, that if neither the Payee(s) nor applicable Payor shall return the Required Payment to Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, such Payor and the Payee(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:
- if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the Lenders, Borrower and the Payee(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest retroactively to the Advance Date in respect of the Required Payment at the Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of Borrower under Section 3.01 to pay interest on the Required Payment at the Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 3.01 to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, and
- if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, such Payor and Borrower shall each be obligated to pay interest retroactively to the Advance Date in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of the rates specified in Section 3.01 is applicable to the Type of such Loan (without duplication of Borrower's obligation to pay interest pursuant to Section 3.01 on the Required Payment), it being understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim that Borrower may have against such Payor in
Β
respect of such Required Payment and shall not relieve such Payor of any obligation it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Documents to Borrower and no advance by Administrative Agent to Borrower under this Section 2.02 shall release any Lender of its obligation to fund such Loan except as set forth in the following sentence. If any such Lender shall thereafter advance any such Required Payment to Administrative Agent, such Required Payment shall be deemed such Lender's applicable Loan to Borrower.
- Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each borrowing from the Lenders shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04, LIBOR Rate Loans having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions and Continuations of Loans); (iv) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
- Computations. Interest on all LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.
- Minimum Amounts. Except for (i) mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 3.05, (ii) Conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 5.04, (iii) prepayments made pursuant to Section 10.03(d), and (iv) advances pursuant to Sections 2.02(c), 7.04., 7.05 and 7.11, each borrowing, Conversion, Continuation and optional partial prepayment of principal (collectively, "Loan Transactions") of Loans shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $100,000.00. Loan Transactions of or into Loans of different Types or Interest Periods at the same time hereunder shall be deemed separate Loan Transactions for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or Interest Period; provided that (A) if any Loans or borrowings would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans during such period, (B) Loans for the payment of interest due under the Notes may be in a lesser principal amount, and (C) if any Loans are LIBOR Rate Loans, additional increments shall be in a minimum amount at least equal to $100,000.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum amount of $100,000.00 shall not apply to Conversions of lesser amounts into a Type or Interest Period that has (or will have upon such Conversion) an aggregate principal amount exceeding such minimum amount and one Interest Period.
- Extension to Next Business Day. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension; provided, however, that if such event relates to the Maturity Date, payments due on the Maturity Date shall be payable on the immediately preceding Business Day.
2.03 Changes to Commitments.
- The respective Commitments shall reduce pro rata automatically by reason of any prepayment of the Loans applicable thereto in the amount of any such prepayment.

- The Commitments, once terminated or reduced, may not be reinstated. Each termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
2.04 Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender's Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.
2.05 Several Obligations; Remedies Independent. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but no Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan required to be made by such other Lender. The amounts payable by Borrower at any time hereunder and under the Note to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.
2.06 Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by its Note. No Lender shall be entitled to have its Note substituted or exchanged for any reason, or subdivided for promissory notes of lesser denominations. In the event of the loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon Borrower's receipt of a reasonably satisfactory indemnification agreement executed in favor of Borrower by the holder of such Note, or in the event of the mutilation of any Note, upon the surrender of such mutilated Note by the holder thereof to Borrower, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such holder a replacement Note in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note. The Notes shall not be necessary to establish the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders on account of advances made under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, (i) Borrower shall not be entitled to select a LIBOR Period that does not end on or before the Maturity Date; (ii) on each date for determination of LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall determine the applicable LIBOR-Based Rate (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and shall promptly give notice of the same to Borrower and Lender by telephone, telecopier or electronic mail; (iii) for the first three (3) calendar months following the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any LIBOR Period other than a 30-day LIBOR Period; (iv) during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower may not elect a LIBOR-Based Rate. Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Loans that bear interest at the LIBOR-Based Rate from LIBOR deposits obtained by Lender, regardless of whether Lender has funded such LIBOR-Based Loan from another source.

- Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the Applicable Interest Rate.
- Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable, in arrears, monthly on each Payment Date subject to Section 7.05(b); provided that (i) in the case of payment or prepayment of all or a portion of a Loan, interest accrued thereon shall be payable at the time of such payment or prepayment and (ii) interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Subject to the provisions of Articles VI and VII, such accrued interest shall be payable from the Interest Reserves established pursuant to the Project Budget; provided, however, that the allocation of Loan funds to the Interest Reserve shall not limit Borrower's obligation to pay such accrued interest.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Maturity Date and during any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Default Rate on (i) the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, (ii) any interest payments thereon not paid when due, and (iii) on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder, under the Notes and any other Loan Documents.
(d) Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower, but the failure of Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall not affect Borrower's obligation for the payment of interest on the Loans.
3.02 Repayment of Loans. Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal of such Lender's outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, on the Maturity Date.
3.03 Late Charge. In addition to any sums due under Section 3.01(c), if Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest as provided in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 above, except the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, within ten (10) days after the date on which the same is due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent a late charge on such past-due amount, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to five percent (5.0%) of such amount (a "Late Charge"). In connection therewith, Borrower agrees as follows: (a) because of such late payment, Administrative Agent and Lender will incur certain costs and expenses including, without limitation, administrative costs, collection costs, loss of interest, and other direct and indirect costs in an uncertain amount; (b) it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix the exact amount of such costs in such event; and (c) the Default Rate and the late charge are reasonable and good faith estimates of such costs. The application of the Default Rate or the assessment of a late charge to any such late payment as described in this Section 3.03 will not be interpreted or deemed to extend the period for payment or otherwise limit any of Administrative Agent's or Lender's remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
3.04 Optional Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 5.05, Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in Section 2.02(a) (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder) and (b) except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.02(j), partial prepayments shall be in the minimum aggregate principal amount of $100,000.00, and in whole multiples of $100,000.00 above such amount. Loans that are prepaid cannot be reborrowed.
3.05 Mandatory Prepayments.
- Casualties; Condemnations. If a Casualty or Condemnation shall occur with respect to the Project, Borrower, upon Borrower's or Administrative Agent's receipt of the applicable Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Award, shall prepay the Loan, if required by the provisions of Article XI, on the dates and in the amounts specified therein without premium (but subject to the provisions of Section 5.05). Nothing in this subsection (a) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of Borrower under the Security Instrument or any other Security Document, including any obligation to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Instrument or any of the other Security Documents the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation received in respect of any Casualty or Condemnation.
- Partial Release or Release of Security Instrument. Borrower shall have the right from time to time to obtain releases of individual Units from the lien of the Security Instrument following prepayment of the Loan as follows:
- Borrower shall provide written notice to Lender of the date such prepayment is intended to be made at least ten (10) days in advance thereof provided that such notice shall be revocable and the date of such prepayment shall be subject to adjustment upon such notice to Lender as shall be reasonably possible;
- the owners' association and related documents for the Project shall have been approved by all applicable Governmental Authorities, Administrative Agent and the title insurance company that agrees to issue owner's title insurance policies to purchasers of the Units;
- Borrower (A) shall have delivered a notice to Lender specifying (1) the legal description of the Unit to be released, and (2) the Release Price, and each notice shall be accompanied by a proper instrument of release, (B) shall execute and deliver to Lender any other documents or instruments reasonably required by Lender, including, without limitation, an amendment to the Security Instrument with respect to a revised legal description for the Project, and (C) prior to the closing of the Unit, shall have delivered to Lender and Lender shall have approved a settlement statement for such Unit;
- Borrower shall have paid to Lender the Release Price for the Unit being released;
- after any release, the portion of the Project not released shall continue to be subject to the Security Instrument; and
- Borrower shall pay Lender's reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with each such release including, but not limited to, any Breakage Fees required pursuant to Section 5.05.
- Unit Sale Exception. Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, Administrative Agent shall, to accommodate the sale of Units and the release of individual Units from the Lien of the Security Instrument, upon Borrower's request, deliver to the Title Company executed copies of the release documents necessary for the separate release of the Lien of the Security Document as to each Unit, with such release documents to be held in escrow, pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrower, pending the sale of such Units and the receipt by the Title Company of the Net Sales Proceeds for such Unit, provided that Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent the notices required by Section 3.05(b) and Administrative Agent has not delivered any objection to the release of such Unit to the Title Company prior to the earliest date set forth for the release of such Unit in the notice of prepayment delivered by Borrower.
- Application. Prepayments pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be applied to the Loans then outstanding pro rata in the order set forth in Section 3.08.
3.06 Interest and Other Charges on Prepayment. If the Loans are prepaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.05, each such prepayment shall be made on the prepayment date specified in the notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(a) or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 3.05, and (in every case) together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid, and (b) any amounts payable to the Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 as a result of such prepayment.
Β
3.07 Lender's Records as to Sums Owing. Absent manifest error, Administrative Agent's records as to the amounts of principal, interest and other sums owing hereunder shall be conclusive and binding.
3.08 Application of Payments Received. All payments received by Administrative Agent hereunder shall be applied: First, to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder (excluding principal and interest); second, to accrued interest; and third, the balance to outstanding principal. As to sums applied to accrued interest under clause "second" above, such prepayment shall be applied first to LIBOR Rate Loans of the shortest maturity so as to minimize breakage costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.08 or in any of the Loan Documents, if an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may distribute payments to the Lenders for application in such manner as it, subject to Section 2.02(h), may determine to be appropriate.
3.09 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
- Sharing. If any Lender obtains from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent (for distribution by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
- Consent by Borrower. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 14.10) all rights of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
- Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which Section 14.10 applies, then
such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under Section 14.10 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
ARTICLE IV
EXTENSION OF THE MATURITY DATE
4.01 Extension of Scheduled Maturity Date. Borrower may, at its option, extend the Scheduled Maturity Date for a period (the "Extension Period") of six months (and the end of such period, the "Extended Maturity Date"), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions (the "Extension Option"):
- Borrower shall notify (the "Extension Notice") Administrative Agent of Borrower's exercise of such option at least sixty (60) days, but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date;
- As of the date of the Extension Notice and as of the Scheduled Maturity Date, (i) no Event of Default then exists, (ii) no Default then exists or would result from the extension of the maturity of the Loans for the Extension Period; and (iii) the Loans are In Balance;
- Borrower and each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent such Modifications to and reaffirmations of the Loan Documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with the foregoing.
- Whether or not the extension becomes effective, Borrower shall pay all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the proposed extension (pre- and post-closing), including appraisal fees and legal fees; all such costs and expenses shall be due and payable upon demand, and any failure to pay such amounts shall constitute a Default under this Agreement and the Loan Documents;
- Not later than the initial Scheduled Maturity Date, (i) the extension shall have been documented to the Lenders' reasonable satisfaction unless the failure to so document the extension is not the fault of Borrower and consented to by Borrower, Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have been provided with an updated title report and judgment and lien searches, and appropriate title insurance endorsements shall have been issued as required by Administrative Agent;
- On the Scheduled Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (for payment to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares) an extension fee in the amount of one-eighth of one per cent percent (1/8%) of the total Commitments of all Lenders (whether disbursed or undisbursed), which Commitments may have been reduced by prepayments by Borrower of principal on the Loans as permitted by the terms of this Agreement and may be reduced as part of the exercise of the Extension Option as set forth in Section 2.03(b) (the "Extension Fee").
Any such extension shall be otherwise subject to all of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
ARTICLE V
INCREASED COSTS, LIBOR AVAILABILITY, ILLEGALITY, ETC.
5.01 Costs of Making or Maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Lender) from time to time such amounts as any Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder (in each case, as opposed to Base Rate Loans), or, subject to the following provisions of this Article V, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such LIBOR Rate Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), provided such Additional Costs result from any Regulatory Change that:
- shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Rate Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such LIBOR Rate Loans or its Note or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such LIBOR Rate Loans (other than Excluded Taxes); or
- imposes or Modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR for such LIBOR Rate Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including any of such LIBOR Rate Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR" in Section 1.01), or any commitment of such Lender (including the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or
- imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.
If any Lender requests compensation from Borrower under this Section 5.01, Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue LIBOR Rate Loans, or Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect or until Borrower notifies such Lender that Borrower is lifting such suspension (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested for so long as any LIBOR Rate Loan remains in effect.
5.02 Limitation on LIBOR Rate Loans; LIBOR Not Available. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR for any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:
(a) Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR" are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Rate Loans as provided herein; or
Β
(b) the Required Lenders determine, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notify Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of "LIBOR" upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequate to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional LIBOR Rate Loans, or to Continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, either prepay such LIBOR Rate Loans or, in accordance with Section 2.07, Convert such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans or other LIBOR Rate Loans in amounts and maturities which are still being provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the applicable conditions under clauses (a) or (b) above affect only a portion of LIBOR Rate Loans, the balance of LIBOR Rate Loans may continue as LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) if the applicable conditions under clauses (a) and (b) only affect certain Interest Periods, Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, may elect to have LIBOR Rate Loans with such other Interest Periods.
5.03 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof (who shall notify Borrower), and such Lender's obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).
5.04 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans or to Continue or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03, then such Lender's LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 5.03, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until either (i) such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01 or 5.03 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist or (ii) Borrower, in the case of Section 5.01, ends any suspension by Borrower:
- to the extent that such Lender's LIBOR Rate Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender's LIBOR Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
- all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.01 or 5.03 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender's
Β
LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which notice such Lender agrees to give promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) or Borrower terminates its applicable suspension at a time when LIBOR Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender's Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate and LIBOR Rate Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
5.05 Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan) (collectively, "Breakage Costs") that such Lender determines is attributable to:
- any failure by Borrower for any reason (including the failure of any of the conditions precedent specified in Article VI or VII to be satisfied) to (i) borrow a LIBOR Rate Loan from such Lender (other than the default of such Lender) on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant Request for Loan Advance, or (ii) Continue or Convert a Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof;
- except as provided in Section 3.05(c), any payment, mandatory or optional prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Article XII) on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period;
- any failure by Borrower for any reason to prepay a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to a notice of prepayment given in accordance with Section 3.04; or
- the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, but not limited to, any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall not, or shall cease to, make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Telerate Page 3750 or other publicly available source as described in the definition of "LIBOR"). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
Β
certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Any payment due to any of the Lenders pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be deemed additional interest under such Lender's Note.
5.06 Additional Waivers. Borrower acknowledges that, during any period in which Borrower has elected the LIBOR-Based Rate as the Applicable Interest Rate, payment or prepayment of any portion of the Loan on a date other than the last day of an applicable LIBOR Period shall result in Lender's incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and any such payment or prepayment therefore must include the Breakage Costs and other sums set forth above. Borrower hereby expressly (a) waives any rights it may have under Applicable Law to prepay any portion of the Loan without penalty or charge, upon acceleration of the maturity of this Note, and (b) agrees that if a prepayment of any portion of the Loans is made, following any acceleration of the maturity of the Notes by the holders thereof on account of any transfer or disposition as prohibited or restricted by the Loan Agreement or by the Security Instrument, then Borrower shall be obligated to pay, concurrently therewith, as a prepayment premium, the applicable Breakage Costs and other sums specified above.
5.07 Taxes.
- Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.07) Administrative Agent or the Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
- Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
- Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.07) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
- Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Β
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(e) Refunds. If Administrative Agent or a Lender determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.07, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 5.07 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).

ARTICLE VII
DISBURSEMENT OF THE LOANS; LOAN BALANCING
7.01 General Conditions.
(a) Subject to (i) Borrower's satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article VI and (ii) Borrower's compliance with the applicable provisions of this Article VII, Administrative Agent shall disburse the proceeds of each Loan within five (5) Business Days after Administrative Agent's receipt all of the documents and items to be delivered or received pursuant to Articles VI and VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall Administrative Agent or the Lenders be obligated to: (A) advance to Borrower more than the amount that Borrower has funded from its own monies or is then required to fund to the party seeking payment or, in the case of reimbursement, to the party seeking reimbursement (subject to Retainage, if applicable), (B) make an advance if the Loans are not In Balance in accordance with Section 7.02, (C) subject to possible reallocation in accordance with Section 7.03, advance proceeds of a Loan in an amount in excess of the Project Budget Line-Items set forth in the Project Budget, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (D) except as provided in Section 7.06 hereof, advance any portion of the Retainage, (E) except as provided in Section 9.27 hereof, make any Loans with respect to materials not yet incorporated into the Improvements, (F) make an advance in connection with any Change Order for which Administrative Agent's approval is required under Section 10.14 which has not been approved by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.14, (G) make any Loans for payments to any subcontractor until (1) in the case of a Major Subcontractor, such Major Subcontractor has been approved by Administrative Agent and (2) in the case of a Major Subcontractor, duly executed and delivered to Administrative Agent the applicable consent and attornment agreement in substantially the form attached to
the Assignment of Construction Agreements, or (H) make any Loans with respect to any sums due a Design Professional until such Design Professional if the total amount of the projected costs payable to such Design Professional are in excess of $250,000 has (i) entered into a duly executed and delivered contract with Borrower, a copy (certified by an Authorized Officer of Borrower) of which contract has been delivered to Administrative Agent, and (ii) duly executed and delivered to Administrative Agent the applicable consent and attornment agreement in substantially the form attached to the Assignment of Architecture Agreement, or (I) make any Loans with respect to the General Contractor Fee except for General Contractor Fees advanced based upon percentage of completion with payment to be complete upon the issuance of all certificates of occupancy, release of all liens by contractors, materialmen and suppliers, and the Loans being In Balance.
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Lenders shall have no obligation to advance any Loan unless Administrative Agent is, at all times, satisfied that the Improvements can be constructed Lien free, substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications for the sums set forth in the Project Budget as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement and subject to Article XI (or, if more, Borrower has furnished the difference in cash or cash equivalents, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04), by the Completion Date subject to Unavoidable Delay. Administrative Agent will endeavor to give notice to Borrower of its intention not to disburse any Loan proceeds based on the foregoing, but neither the Lenders nor Administrative Agent shall have any liability hereunder should Administrative Agent fail to do so, and no failure by Administrative Agent to give such notice shall affect Administrative Agent's or any Lender's rights under this subsection (b).
- Disbursements shall be made no more frequently than once in each calendar month.
- Upon the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall submit a Request for Loan Advance relating to all expenses incurred as of such date by Borrower in connection with Project Costs and Borrower shall be entitled to draw from the Xxxxxxx Money Deposits in payment of such amounts and, to the extent such Xxxxxxx Money Deposits are not sufficient for the payment of such amounts, Borrower shall be entitled, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to a Loan advance in reimbursement of such excess costs.
7.02 Loan Balancing.
(a) Definition of "In Balance" Loans. Borrower represents that the Project Budget sets forth all anticipated costs to be incurred by Borrower in connection with the ownership, development, construction, financing, marketing, and maintenance of the Project from time to time through the Scheduled Maturity Date. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Loans shall be deemed not "In Balance" if, at any time, (i) the Loan to Value ratio is greater than 75%; (ii) the Loan coverage is less than the Minimum Loan Coverage; or (iii) the projected cost of any category of costs included in any individual Project Budget Line-Item (including, without limitation, the Interest Reserve and the Contingency Fund line items) exceeds the amount set forth in the Project Budget for such individual Project Budget Line-Item by more than fifteen percent (15%) (as the same may be adjusted in accordance with Section 7.04 and any other terms of this Agreement), as reasonably determined by
Β
Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant in their reasonable discretion. So long as the foregoing events do not exist, the Loans shall be deemed "In Balance."
(b) Deficiency Deposits. If at any time the Loans are deemed not "In Balance," then Borrower shall, provided sufficient funds do not remain in the Borrower Contingency Fund to cover such deficiency, within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Administrative Agent deposit with Administrative Agent an amount sufficient to cover such deficiency (a "Deficiency Deposit"), which Deficiency Deposit shall be deposited into a Controlled Account. Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to make any disbursement of any Loans before receiving payment of any such Deficiency Deposit and the prior application of any such Deficiency Deposit to the payment of any budgeted costs to bring the Loans In Balance. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative Agent may (subject to the provisions of Section 13.03), at its option, (i) exercise any or all of its rights under the Loan Documents, (ii) apply any unexpended Deficiency Deposit to the costs of completion of the Improvements, and/or (iii) apply any unexpended Deficiency Deposit to the immediate reduction of any amounts due under the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.02(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.02(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the Loan Documents shall obligate the holders of the Equity Interests for the payment of any amounts due from Borrower to Lender hereunder.
- Additional Appraisals. At any time and from time to time Administrative Agent may obtain a new Appraisal of the Project, provided, however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent for an Appraisal more that once during a twelve-month period.
7.03 Project Budget Line-Items; Loans to be Used for Specific Line-Items.
- The Project Budget includes as line items (collectively, "Project Budget Line-Items") the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed for the completion of all Construction Work, and all other costs, fees and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction Work and the operation of the Project prior to the Completion Date. Borrower agrees that all Loans shall be used only for the Project Budget Line-Items for which such Loans are made as reallocated from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to advance any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Project Budget Line-Item which is greater than 115% of the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Project Budget Line-Item as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement.
- Reallocation of Contingency Fund and Line-Items Based on Costs Savings. Borrower may apply the Borrower Contingency Fund (defined in Section 7.04(a) below) and/or savings from one Project Budget Line-Item to cost overruns in another Project Budget Line-Item or to the Project Contingency Fund, to any other unbudgeted Project Cost or to bring the Loans in Balance provided: (i) no Event of Default then exists, and (ii) as to reallocations from a Project Budget Line Item (A) all costs to be paid out of the Project Budget Line-Item from which funds are being reallocated have been paid or sufficient sums remain in said line item to pay such costs when the same become due, (B) said savings are actual savings and are documented to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant in their reasonable discretion, and (C) such reallocation will not
Β
violate the provisions of the Lien Law or affect the priority of the Security Instrument on the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Administrative Agent's approval of an adjustment to a Project Budget Line Item is required, Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may condition any such approval on obtaining, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against any statutory lien for services, labor or materials furnished or contracted for which at such time has gained (or may thereafter gain) priority over the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of such reallocation.
7.04 Project Budget Contingencies.
- Contingency Fund Line-Item. The Project Budget shall initially contain a line item equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of Hard Costs (the "Project Contingency Fund") and a line item equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%), or more, of Hard Costs (the "Borrower Contingency Fund") designated for contingency which represent amounts necessary to provide reasonable assurances to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that additional funds are available to be used if additional costs, expenses and/or delays are incurred or additional interest accrues on the Loans, or unanticipated events or problems occur. The Project Contingency Fund and the Borrower Contingency Fund are sometimes referred to hereafter, collectively, as the "Contingency Fund". The Contingency Fund shall be subject to reduction upon reallocation, disbursement, or otherwise as provided herein. Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, reallocate the required amount of the Project Contingency Fund to other Project Budget Line-Items from time to time.
- Use of Contingency Fund. In addition to Borrower's right to reallocate the Borrower Contingency Fund as set forth in Section 7.03(b), upon request of Borrower, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to do so), from time to time in its sole discretion, disburse the Project Contingency Fund or portions thereof to Borrower (thereby reducing the amount of the same) for use under the Project Budget Line-Items for which they are reallocated (subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence). Borrower agrees that except as set forth in Section 7.03(b), the decision with respect to utilizing any portion of the Project Contingency Fund in order to keep the Loans In Balance shall be made by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and that Borrower may be required to make a Deficiency Deposit or reallocate funds from Borrower's Contingency Fund even if funds remain in the Project Contingency Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Administrative Agent may condition any such reallocation under this Section 7.04(b), on obtaining, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against any statutory lien for services, labor or materials furnished or contracted for which at such time has gained (or may thereafter gain) priority over the lien of the Security Instrument as a result of the reallocation of the Project Contingency Fund.
7.05 Interest; Fees; and Expenses.
(a) Included in the Project Budget are projected amounts for (i) interest on the Loans (the "Interest Reserve"), (ii) the fees payable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Construction Consultant, Administrative Agent's counsel and the Title Company, and (iv) the fees and expenses related to the recording of the Security Instrument.
- Borrower hereby authorizes and directs, and no further request shall be necessary from Borrower for, Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan as and when needed to pay (i) interest accrued on the Notes, (ii) the fees payable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Construction Consultant, Administrative Agent's counsel and the Title Company, (iv) any expenses payable in accordance with Section 14.03 and (v) any Date Down Endorsements, notwithstanding that Borrower may not have requested a disbursement of such amounts. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt written notice of any such disbursements.
- Subject to the provisions of Section 13.03, Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may (but shall not be obligated to do so) make such disbursements authorized under this Section 7.05 notwithstanding that the Loans are not In Balance or that a Default or Event of Default exists under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such disbursements shall constitute a Loan and be added to the principal balance of the Notes, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable, and no further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements.
7.06 Retainage.
- Disbursement of the available proceeds of each Loan with respect only to Hard Costs shall be limited to ninety percent (90%) of the value of the Hard Costs set forth in the applicable Request for Loan Advance; provided, however, that in no event shall such percentage be less than the retainage percentage set forth in any contract or subcontract for such portion of the Improvements (the amounts retained by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.06(a) being, collectively, the "Retainage"). No Retainage will apply to (A) any Soft Costs or (B) the General Contractor Fees and general conditions performed by the General Contractor pursuant to the General Contract.
- Administrative Agent shall advance proceeds of Loans pursuant to a Request for Loan Advance to pay portions of the Retainage with respect to each contract (including a Major Subcontract) prior to the completion of all Base Building Work, within fifteen (15) days after Borrower's compliance with the following conditions to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent with respect to such contracts:
- all of the work under such contract is finally completed in accordance with the terms of such contract and the applicable Plans and Specifications, and Administrative Agent receives a certification to that effect from an Authorized Officer of Borrower and Borrower's Architect and such work has been approved by the Construction Consultant;
- the work performed by such contractor has been approved, to the extent such approval is required, by the Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the same and the applicable permits with respect to such work, if any, have been issued;
- the contract provides for such early release of the applicable Retainage;
- the applicable contractor (including the General Contractor), subcontractor, materialman or other supplier with respect to which the Retainage is being released delivers to Administrative Agent a final and complete unconditional release of Lien;
- if and as required by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall have received copies of any warranties, guaranties or "as built" drawings relating to the work performed by each such contractor, subcontractor, materialman or other supplier in connection with the Base Building Work; and
- all other applicable requirements and conditions with respect to such advance of Loan proceeds have been satisfied or previously waived in writing by Administrative Agent.
7.07 Unsatisfactory Work. If the Construction Consultant or Administrative Agent shall determine that a portion of the Construction Work for which Loans are sought is Unsatisfactory Work, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold from such Loans such amounts the proceeds of which are intended to pay for the Unsatisfactory Work and (ii) to the extent the Construction Consultant reasonably determines that the failure to remedy such Unsatisfactory Work prior to proceeding with Construction Work would have a material adverse impact on the value of the Project or the ability to complete other work pursuant to the Plans and Specifications, require the affected portion of the Construction Work to be stopped until such time as Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant are satisfied that the Unsatisfactory Work is corrected, and no such action by Administrative Agent shall be deemed to affect Borrower's obligation to complete the Improvements on or before the Completion Date or right to proceed with and receive Loans in connection with Construction Work that is not affected by the Unsatisfactory Work, and the Lenders shall, subject to compliance by Borrower with all other applicable requirements of this Agreement, be required to make Loans with respect to such Unsatisfactory Work only after the Construction Consultant and Administrative Agent shall have determined that the work which had been identified as Unsatisfactory Work has been corrected to the satisfaction of the Construction Consultant and Administrative Agent.
7.08 Intentionally Omitted.
7.09 No Waiver or Approval by Reason of Loan Advances. The making of any Loans by the Lenders shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval by Administrative Agent or the Lenders (for the benefit of Borrower or any third party) of the Construction Work or other work theretofore done or constructed or to the Lenders' obligations to make further Loans, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding Administrative Agent or the Lenders from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as herein provided. Administrative Agent's and/or the Lenders' waiver of, or failure to enforce, any conditions to or requirements associated with any Loans in any one or more circumstances shall not constitute or imply a waiver of such conditions or requirements in any other circumstances.
7.10 Construction Consultant. Administrative Agent reserves the right to employ the Construction Consultant and any other consultants necessary, in Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment, to review Requests for Loan Advance, inspect all construction and the periodic progress of the same, the reasonable cost therefor to be borne by Borrower as a loan expense. Borrower shall make available to Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant on reasonable notice during business hours, all documents and other information
(including, without limitation, receipts, invoices, lien waivers and other supporting documentation to substantiate the costs to be paid with the proceeds of any Request for Loan Advance) which any contractor or other Person entitled to payment for Construction Work is required to deliver to Borrower and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any further documents or information reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or the Construction Consultant in connection with any Loan or the administration of this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Construction Consultant shall have no responsibilities or duties to Borrower, and shall be employed solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No default of Borrower will be waived by an inspection by Administrative Agent or the Construction Consultant. In no event will any inspection by Administrative Agent or the Construction Consultant be a representation that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans and Specifications or that the Construction Work is free from defective materials or workmanship. Any and all provisions of this Agreement in respect of the Construction Consultant shall be enforceable solely by, and at the option of, Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall not be a third-party beneficiary thereof. Any and all reports, advice or other information provided by the Construction Consultant to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders or otherwise produced by or in the possession of the Construction Consultant shall be confidential and Borrower shall have no right to obtain or review same.
7.11 Authorization to Make Loan Advances to Cure Borrower's Defaults. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative Agent (subject to the provisions of Section 13.03) may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements with respect to which Borrower is in Default and of which Administrative Agent has notified Borrower. Any amounts expended by Administrative Agent in so doing and any amounts expended by Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall constitute a Loan and be added to the Outstanding Principal Amount, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable, and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements.
7.12 Administrative Agent's Right to Make Loan Advances in Compliance with the Completion Guaranty. Any Loan proceeds disbursed by Administrative Agent as contemplated by Section 2 of the Completion Guaranty (whether the applicable work is being performed by the Guarantor or Administrative Agent) shall constitute a Loan and be added to the Outstanding Principal Amount, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements.
7.13 No Third-Party Benefit. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of the Lenders to make advances hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Lenders and may be freely waived or Modified in whole or in part by the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it advisable to do so, and no Person other than Borrower (provided, however, that all conditions have been satisfied) shall have standing to require the Lenders to make any Loan advances or shall be a beneficiary of this Agreement or any advances to be made hereunder.

In consideration of Administrative Agent's reliance, Borrower agrees that Borrower shall not make any Transfer if such Transfer is prohibited by this Agreement unless the Transfer is preceded by Administrative Agent's express written consent to the particular transaction and transferee. If any prohibited Transfer occurs, Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Administrative Agent may invoke any rights and remedies provided under Section 12.02 hereof. Borrower acknowledges the materiality of the provisions of this Section 10.03(c) as a covenant of Borrower, and that such covenant was given individual weight and consideration by Administrative Agent in entering into the Obligations secured by the Security Documents, and that any Transfer in violation of the prohibited transfer provisions herein set forth shall result in a material impairment of Administrative Agent's interest in the Obligations and be deemed a breach of the foregoing covenant.

Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent
Β
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the retiring Administrative Agent shall not be discharged from any liabilities which existed prior to the effective date of such resignation. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 13 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
13.09 Consents and Certain Actions under, and Modifications of, Loan Documents.
- Administrative Agent may, except as provided below in clause (b) below, (i) grant or refuse to grant any consent or approval required or requested of it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in its sole and absolute discretion (except where another standard of discretion is expressly required of Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Loan Document), and (ii) consent or refuse to consent to any Modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents.

- a decision made with respect to the sale or disposition of the Project or any Collateral after Administrative Agent has obtained possession thereof; and
- a decision on the use of application of proceeds from any insurance maintain by Borrower or any awards from a taking or condemnation of the Project.
(iii) Without the consent of the affected Lender, change such Lender's Proportionate Share (provided, however, that this clause shall not apply to reductions in or a deemed reduction in any Lender's Proportionate Share pursuant to Section 13.11 hereof, nor shall it be construed to prevent a Lender from assigning its interest in the Loan pursuant to Section 14.07).
(c) If Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof (or such shorter time as may be required under the applicable Loan Document for Administrative Agent to respond, in which case Lenders shall have the same time period minus one (1) Business Day); provided that if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent to vote such Lender's interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of Administrative Agent's solicitation as Administrative Agent elects. Any such solicitation by Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include Administrative Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof

Β
which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. The Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of authorization of same.
13.11 Defaulting Lenders.
- If any Lender (a "Defaulting Lender"; and, for purposes hereof, any Lenders that is not a Defaulting Lender, a "Non-Defaulting Lender") shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its Proportionate Share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Project or the lien of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent and any of the Non-Defaulting Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender's Proportionate Share of such advance; provided, however, that Administrative Agent or such Non-Defaulting Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior notice of its intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by Administrative Agent, and then by the Non-Defaulting Lender holding the greatest Proportionate Share, and thereafter to each of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in descending order of their respective Proportionate Shares or in such other manner as the Required Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender making all or any portion of a Defaulting Lender's Proportionate Share of the applicable Loan advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a "Special Advance Lender". Subject to a Defaulting Lender's right to cure as provided in subsection (f), but notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Defaulting Lender's interest in, and any amounts due to a Defaulting Lender under, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all principal, interest, fees and expenses) shall be subordinate in lien priority and to the repayment of all amounts (including, without limitation, interest) then or thereafter due or to become due to the other Lenders under the Loan Documents, and the Defaulting Lender thereafter shall have no right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by the Lenders hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents. Further, subject to subsection (f) below, any Defaulting Lender shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the other Lenders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Defaulting Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender and, during such period, the Loan Commitment of and outstanding principal amount held by such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded in any determination requiring the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders hereunder.
- In any case where a Non-Defaulting Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special Advance Lender shall, at the election of such Special Advance Lender, be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender's respective Loans to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the "Advanced Amount") bearing interest at the Applicable Interest Rate (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (and its Proportionate Share shall be disregarded in determining whether any act or decision requiring the approval of the Required Lenders shall have been approved) so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations of the
Β
Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including to advance Loans, to share losses incurred in connection with the Loan, including costs and expenses of enforcement of the Loans, to make advances to preserve the lien of the Security Instrument or to preserve and protect the Project or to effect completion of the Improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the Proportionate Shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to an amount (the "Unpaid Amount") equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loans from the Special Advance Lender pursuant to subsection (f) below by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
- A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender's senior participation in the Defaulting Lender's Loans and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender's senior participation. Provided that Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender's senior participation as Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender's senior participation in the Defaulting Lender's Loans out of the Defaulting Lender's share of any such distributions.
- A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from the Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.
- Nothing contained in Section 13.11(a), (f) or fh) shall release or in any way limit a Defaulting Lender's obligations as a Lender hereunder and/or under any other of the Loan Documents or impair the Borrower's right to exercise its remedies against such Defaulting Lender which remedies shall include, without limitation, the recovery of any losses, costs and expenses incurred as a result thereof. Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender's failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this
Β
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender. Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of subsection (c) above, set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of Administrative Agent and the other Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.
(1) A Defaulting Lender may cure a default arising out its failure to fund its Proportionate Share of an advance or to make any respective Loan required pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to the following, upon such cure shall no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, if, within five (5) days (the "Default Cure Period") of such default, it pays the full amount of the Unpaid Amount, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such Advanced Amount was so paid by the Special Advance Lender until the date the Special Advance Lender recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in the event such cure is made within three (3) Business Days of such default; provided, however, if such Defaulting Lender fails to cure such default within such three (3) Business Days, the Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to recover, and such Defaulting Lender shall pay, such amount, on demand from Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on such third (3rd) Business Day until the date the Special Advance Lender recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate for each such day. If a Defaulting Lender pays the Unpaid Amount and interest due thereon within the Default Cure Period (or thereafter with the consent of Administrative Agent), such Defaulting Lender nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the other Lenders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Lender's becoming a Defaulting Lender and prior to its curing the default as provided in this Section 13.11(f); provided that such amendment or waiver of action was taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A Defaulting Lender shall have absolutely no right to cure any default after the expiration of the Default Cure Period unless Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to permit such cure.
(g) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and none of the other Lenders becomes a Special Advance Lender pursuant to Section 13.11(a), the Borrower shall have the right, provided there exists no Default or Event of Default that has not arisen as a result of the Defaulting Lender's failure to fund, to cause another financial institution acceptable to Administrative Agent to assume the Defaulting Lender's obligations with respect to the Advance Amount on the then-existing terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (such replacement institution, a "Replacement Lender"). It shall be a condition to such assumption that the Replacement Lender concurrently assumes the obligations of the Defaulting Lender with respect to the unfunded portion of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender. Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Upon such assumption, the Replacement Lender shall become a "Lender" for all purposes hereunder, with a Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the Advance Amount, and the Defaulting Lender's Loan Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the Advance Amount. In connection with the foregoing, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Replacement Lender and the Defaulting Lender Replacement Notes. Such Replacement Notes shall be in amounts equal to, in the case of the Replacement Lender's note, the Advance Amount and, in the case of the Defaulting Lender's note, its Commitment, as reduced as aforesaid. Such replacement notes shall constitute "Notes" and
Β
the obligations evidenced thereby shall be secured by the Security Instrument. In connection with the Borrower's execution of replacement notes as aforesaid, the Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the replacement notes and any related documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The execution and delivery of replacement notes as required above shall be a condition precedent to any further advances of Loan proceeds. Upon receipt of its replacement note, the Defaulting Lender will return to the Borrower its note(s) that was replaced; provided that the delivery of a replacement note to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 13.11(g) shall operate to void and replace the note(s) previously held by the Defaulting Lender regardless of whether or not the Defaulting Lender returns same as required hereby.
- In addition to the foregoing, in the event the Defaulting Lender has not cured such default within the Default Cure Period, Administrative Agent (unless the Lender serving in the capacity of Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) and the Non-Defaulting Lenders, shall, in accordance with the priority established pursuant to Section 13.11(a) above, be entitled to purchase such Defaulting Lender's entire Loan Commitment, excluding accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal balance of all Loans which have been funded by such Defaulting Lender as of the date of such purchase.
- The Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall, at the Borrower's expense solely with respect to Administrative Agent's reasonable costs and expenses in connection therewith, execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, be necessary in order to effect the substitution of Lenders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.11(i). The Lenders shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower's attempts to obtain a Replacement Lender, but they shall not be obligated to modify the Loan Documents in connection therewith, other than modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.
13.12 Amendments Concerning Agency Functions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be bound by any Modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its duties, rights, and/or functions hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
13.13 Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to the Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
13.14 Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of the Borrower or any Lender, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
13.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain from the Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker's
Β
lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by the Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent (for distribution by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or Obligation of the Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which Section 14.10 applies, then such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under Section 14.10 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
13.16 Bankruptcy of Borrower. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof of claim on behalf of the Lenders. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings.
13.17 Termination. The rights and obligations of Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall terminate when the Obligations of Borrower hereunder have been paid and finally discharged in full and the obligations of the Lenders to advance funds to the Borrower under this Agreement are terminated or, if the Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent's nominee takes title to the Project by foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, when the Project is thereafter sold to a third-party purchaser. All indemnification provisions in favor of Administrative Agent herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the termination hereof.

A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, the Project, the Loans and any Guarantor in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees, pledgees and participants (including prospective assignees, pledgees and participants), subject, however, to the party receiving such information confirming in writing that such party and such information is subject to the provisions of Section 14.23.
14.08 Survival. The obligations of Borrower under Sections 5.01, 5.05, 5.07, 14.03, 14.04 and 14.12, and the obligations of the Lenders under Sections 13.05 and 13.11(e), shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender that may assign any interest under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms thereof including any Lender's interest in its Commitment or Loans hereunder, shall survive the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a "Lender" hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a Request for Loan Advance, herein or pursuant hereto by Borrower shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Lender shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or
Β
warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Lender or Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such Loan was made.
14.09 Multiple Copies. Each document to be delivered to Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be delivered in duplicate.
14.10 Right of Set-off.
- Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 14.10, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and such deposits or indebtedness may be unmatured. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker's lien, or similar rights against any deposit or other indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in Colorado or any other state with certain laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, banker's lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
- Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section 14.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lenders may have.
- If an Event of Default has resulted in the Loans becoming due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
14.11 Intentionally Omitted.
14.12 Brokers. Borrower hereby represents to Administrative Agent and each Lender that it has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or finder in connection with the Transactions. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind
Β
in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Transactions.
14.13 Estoppel Certificates.
- Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days after Administrative Agent's request, shall furnish to Administrative Agent a written statement, duly acknowledged, certifying to Administrative Agent and each Lender and/or, subject to the terms of Section 14.07, any proposed assignee of any portion of the interests hereunder: (i) the amount of the Outstanding Principal Amount then owing under this Agreement and each of the Notes, (ii) the terms of payment and Scheduled Maturity Date of the Loans (or if earlier, the Maturity Date), (iii) the date to which interest has been paid under each of the Notes, (iv) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the repayment of the Loans and, if any are alleged to exist, a detailed description thereof, (v) the extent to which the Loan Documents have been Modified and (vi) such other information as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

14.14 Preferences. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Administrative Agent or a Lender, as the case may be.
14.15 Certain Waivers. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives (a) notice of any actions taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except to the extent (i) otherwise expressly provided herein or therein or (ii) Borrower is not, pursuant to Applicable Law, permitted to waive the giving of notice, (b) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section 14.15, might constitute grounds for relieving Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except to the extent that Borrower is not, pursuant to Applicable Law, permitted to waive the giving of notice, (d) any requirement that Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien on any collateral for the Loans or exhaust any right or take any action against Borrower or any other

14.17 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason as to any Person or circumstance, such provision or provisions shall be deemed severable from and shall in no way affect the enforceability and validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

For the purposes of this Section 14.23, "Information" shall mean all information received from or on behalf of Borrower relating to Borrower, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 14.23 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
Β
contrary, the information subject to this Section 14.23 shall not include, and Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby.
14.24 Usury Savings Clause. It is the intention of Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to the usury and similar laws relating to interest payable on loans from time to time in force, and all Loan Documents between Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in the aggregate to the Lenders as interest (whether or not designated as interest, and including any amount otherwise designated by or deemed to constitute interest by a court of competent jurisdiction) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement given to secure the Loans, or in any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Loans, exceed the maximum amount (the "Maximum Rate") permissible under Applicable Laws. If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve exceeding the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate. For purposes of calculating the actual amount of interest paid and/or payable hereunder in respect of laws pertaining to usury or such other laws, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loans evidenced hereby, outstanding from time to time shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, pro-rated, allocated and spread from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Notes until payment in full of all of such indebtedness, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such Loans is uniform through the term hereof. If under any circumstances any Lender shall ever receive an amount which would exceed the Maximum Rate, such amount shall be deemed a payment in reduction of the principal amount of the applicable Loans and shall be treated as a voluntary prepayment under this Agreement and shall be so applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or if such excessive interest exceeds the outstanding amount of the applicable Loans and any other Obligations, the excess shall be deemed to have been a payment made by mistake and shall be refunded to Borrower.
14.25 Controlled Accounts. Borrower hereby agrees with Administrative Agent, as to any Controlled Account into which this Agreement requires Borrower to deposit funds, as follows:
(a) Establishment and Maintenance of the Controlled Account.
(i) Each Controlled Account (A) shall be a separate and identifiable account from all other funds held by the Depository Bank and (B) shall contain only funds required to be deposited pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest which may accrue on the amounts on deposit in a Controlled Account shall be added to and shall become part of the
Β
balance of such Controlled Account. Borrower, Administrative Agent and the applicable Depository Bank shall enter into an agreement (the "Controlled Account Agreement"), in form and content acceptable to Administrative Agent which shall govern the Controlled Account and the rights, duties and obligations of each party to the Controlled Account Agreement.
(ii) The Controlled Account Agreement shall provide that (A) the Controlled Account shall be established in the name of Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), (B) the Controlled Account shall be subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Administrative Agent, and (C) neither Borrower nor any other Person, including, without limitation, any Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower, shall have any right or authority, whether express or implied, to make use of or withdraw, or cause the use or withdrawal of, any proceeds from the Controlled Account or any of the other proceeds deposited in the Controlled Account, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Controlled Account Agreement.
- Deposits to and Disbursements from the Controlled Account. All deposits to and disbursements of all or any portion of the deposits to the Controlled Account shall be in accordance with this Agreement and the Controlled Account Agreement. Any disbursement of funds held in any Controlled Account shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent to the making of a Loan advance by the Lenders hereunder (including, without limitation, that no Event of Default then exists, and that Borrower shall have submitted a written request for such amount in accordance with the procedures generally applicable to advances of the Loan). Borrower hereby agrees to pay any and all fees charged by Depository Bank in connection with the maintenance of the Controlled Account and the performance of its duties. Under no circumstances shall Administrative Agent or the Lenders be obligated to make advances of the Loan while funds are available in a Controlled Account to pay for costs of the Construction Work.
- Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants a first priority security interest in favor of Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in each Controlled Account and all financial assets and other property and sums at any time held, deposited or invested therein, and all security entitlements and investment property relating thereto, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, and all proceeds thereof, whether accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, deposit accounts, instruments, documents or securities (collectively, "Controlled Account Collateral"), together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto (even if no further documentation is requested by Administrative Agent or the Lenders or executed by Borrower with respect thereto).
14.26 Financing Statements. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to file such financing statements (and any continuations statements with respect thereto) under the Uniform Commercial Code as Administrative Agent may deem necessary in order to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted or to be granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, in such jurisdictions as Administrative Agent may elect.
14.27 Unavoidable Delay. If the work of construction is directly affected and delayed by an Unavoidable Delay, Borrower must notify Administrative Agent in writing within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of any such Unavoidable Delay. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such notice has been given in a timely manner, and provided further that in each case, (i) the cause of the Unavoidable Delay is not within the
control of Borrower, (ii) after giving effect to the consequences of each such delay, the Loans shall remain In Balance, (iii) Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the delay caused by such event of Unavoidable Delay, and (iv) Administrative Agent reasonably acknowledges that such delay is due to one of the foregoing causes (which acknowledgment shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), then Administrative Agent shall extend the Completion Date and the time for performance of any other construction obligations hereunder by a period of time equal to the period of such Unavoidable Delay. No such extension shall affect the time for performance of, or otherwise modify, any of Borrower's other Obligations under the Loan Documents or the maturity of the Notes. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable in any way for Administrative Agent's or such Lender's failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents, and Administrative Agent may suspend or terminate all or any portion of its and the Lenders' obligations under the Loan Documents if such delay or failure to perform results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, an Unavoidable Delay.
