(f) Upon completion of the Development Work, Borrower shall
deliver to Lender a completion certificate containing the following:
(i) Borrower's statement of the aggregate amount of costs incurred in

other than such costs of construction and acquisition, together with
interest and servicing and fees incurred in connection with the Loan.
Lender's right to require satisfaction of each of the foregoing
conditions and to receive and review the materials listed above shall not
impose upon Lender any obligation whatsoever to the Borrower, the general
contractor, architect, any purchasers of the Lots or any other party
whatsoever, with respect to any of the subject matter constituting such
conditions, nor shall it operate to release Borrower from liability for any
misrepresentations or breaches hereunder (notwithstanding any opportunity of
Lender to discover such misrepresentation or breach from materials provided
to Lender as a condition of closing). Borrower understands and agrees that
such conditions are for the sole purpose of protecting Lender's Loan advances
and providing security for the Loan, and are made solely for the Lender's

course of dealing or other agreement that will bind Lender or prohibit Lender
from enforcing such condition or any other term or condition of this Loan
Agreement Supplement in the same or any other instance.
Section 4.4 APPLICATION OF DISBURSEMENTS. All Loan proceeds disbursed
to Borrower pursuant to this Loan Agreement Supplement will be used only for

Notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent to Lender's obligation
to make any disbursement hereunder, Lender may make such disbursement if
Lender, in its sole discretion, determines the making of the same to be
advisable. The making of any disbursement, either before or after the
satisfaction of all conditions precedent with respect to Lender's obligation
to make the same, shall not be deemed to constitute an approval or acceptance
by Lender of the Development Work theretofore completed or a waiver of such
condition with respect to a subsequent disbursement.

shall provide to the Lender written notice of such delay, and if such delay
will not exceed one hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate or is

working drawings relating to the Development Work which, together with all
prior changes, exceeds, in aggregate
26
amount, five percent (5%) of the portion of the Budget allocable to the
Development Work, whether by change order or otherwise, without the prior
written approval of Lender, and, to the extent that such approvals may be
required, the appropriate governmental authorities. As a condition to its
approval of any Change described in either of the preceding sentences, Lender
may require verification that such Change:
(1) is a Change as to which the Borrower has complied with the

(2) will not adversely affect the value of Lender's security;
(3) is not a material change in structure, design, exterior
appearance, square footage, or function;
(4) would not cause an increase in any line item or category of
the Budget in excess of the contingencies (if any) specifically contained
in the Budget for that line item or category; and
(5) would be consistent with the Laws and Regulations.
Lender is under no duty to review or inform Borrower of the quality or
suitability of the Plans and Specifications, any contract or subcontract or
any changes thereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall

Specifications which might adversely affect the value of Lender's security or
which, regardless of cost, is a material change in structure, design,
function or exterior appearance.
(b) Borrower shall obtain from the appropriate persons or entities
approvals of any alterations in the Map, the Plans and Specifications or any
work, materials or contracts that are required by any of the Laws and
Regulations or under the terms of the Project Commitment or other Borrower

together with all additional documents that Lender may require in order to
evaluate a request for approval of a Change of a type described in CLAUSE (a)
above. These documents may include the following: (i) a written description
of the Change and related work drawings and (ii) a written estimate of the
cost of the Change and the time necessary to complete it. Lender may take a
reasonable time to evaluate any requests for approval of a Change, and may
require that all other approvals required from other parties be obtained
before its reviews any requested Change. Lender may approval or disapprove
Changes in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. Borrower acknowledges
that delays may result, and agrees that so long as any delays caused by
Lender are not unreasonable in duration, they shall not affect Borrower's
obligation to complete each element of the Development Work in accordance
with the Construction Progress Schedule.
27
(d) In the event that either:
(1) the proceeds of the Loan which are available for disbursement
will not be sufficient to complete the Development Work as scheduled; or
(2) the costs of the Project have increased over the amount set
forth in the Budget by an amount in excess of with respect to the
Development Work, and including all prior changes, in aggregate amount,
five percent (5%) of the portion of the Budget allocable to the
Development Work,

Project, together with (i) a request that the Lender approve an increase in
the Project Amount, which request the Lender may approve or disapprove in its
absolute and sole discretion, or (ii) evidence that the Borrower has
sufficient funds to pay the increased costs, in which event the Lender shall
not be obligated to disburse additional amounts of the Loan pursuant to the
provisions of SECTION 4.1 until such time as the Borrower provides to the
Lender evidence that it has paid from its own funds, in addition to any
Borrower funds which the Budget requires, an amount at least equal to the
increase. Any such revised Budget for the Project submitted to the Lender
shall be accompanied by a written report from the Inspector stating that the
Inspector has reviewed and approved the revised Budget.
Section 5.16 LENDER INSPECTIONS, APPRAISAL AND INFORMATION. During
normal business hours, the Borrower shall arrange for the Lender, the
Inspector or any other authorized representative of Lender, at the expense of
Borrower, to visit, inspect or appraise the Project, the materials to be used
thereon or therein, contracts, records, plans, specifications and shop
drawings relating thereto, whether kept at Borrower's offices or at the
Project construction site or elsewhere, and the books, records, accounts and
other financial and accounting records of Borrower wherever kept, and to make
copies and take extracts thereof and therefrom as often as may be requested
at Borrower's cost and expense. Borrower will cooperate with Lender to enable
Lender and Inspector to conduct such visits, inspections and appraisals. The
cost of the Inspector and of such inspections shall be borne by Borrower and
shall be paid within thirty (30) days of Borrower's receipt of any invoice
with respect thereto.
Section 5.17 CORRECTION OF DEFECTS. If Lender in its reasonable
judgment determines that any Development Work or materials fail to conform to
the Map, any Laws and Regulations, the Plans and Specifications or sound
building practices, or that they otherwise depart from any of the
requirements of this Loan Agreement Supplement, Lender may require the work
to be stopped and withhold disbursements until the matter is corrected. If
this occurs, Borrower shall promptly correct the work to Lender's
satisfaction, and pending completion of such corrective work shall not allow
any other work which is dependent upon or directly related to the work
requiring correction to proceed. No such action by Lender shall affect
Borrower's obligation to complete each element of the Development Work within
the times required by this Loan Agreement Supplement. The advance of any Loan
proceeds shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to require
compliance with this covenant.
28
Section 5.18 PROTECTION AGAINST LIEN CLAIMS.
(a) Borrower shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and
discharged, promptly and fully all claims for labor done and materials
and services furnished in connection with the Development Work, and take
or cause to be taken all reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of
claims of lien against the Project or any part thereof. Borrower shall
obtain a lien waiver with respect to each payment by or to the Borrower
and each of the various subcontractors and materialmen (and the major
subcontractors and submaterialmen under them), and Lender, at any time,
at its option, may require that Borrower make any payments for which
disbursements are made hereunder by joint check made payable to the
Borrower and the subcontractor or sub-subcontractor for whose account
such payment is to be made, as joint payees.
(b) Nothing herein contained shall require Borrower to pay any
claims for labor, materials, or services which Borrower in good faith
disputes and which Borrower, at its own expense, currently and
diligently contest, provided that Borrower shall, for each such case
where a claim of lien in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000), has been filed, within thirty (30) days after the Borrower's
actual receipt of notice of filing of any such claim of lien, (i) record
or cause to be recorded in the office of the recorder of Ottawa County a
surety bond sufficient to release said claim of lien, or (ii) make or
cause to be made a deposit of cash in the amount of 150% of the claim of
lien with Lender, or (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a
specific endorsement to the Title Policy which insures Lender against
any loss by reason of such claim of lien, or (iv) deliver or cause to be
delivered to Lender such other assurance as may be acceptable to Lender;
provided however, that in the event the aggregate amount of claims filed
with respect to the Project exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000),
Borrower shall be required to take one of the actions specified in (i)
through (iv) above with respect to subsequent claims.
Section 5.19 CONVEYANCE, LEASE OR ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower shall not
sell, agree to sell, convey, transfer, dispose of or further encumber the
Project or any portion thereof or interest therein (other than the sale of
Lots), or enter into a lease covering all or any portion thereof or interest
therein, either voluntarily, involuntarily or otherwise, or enter into an
agreement to do so, without the prior written consent of Lender being first
had and obtained. All easements, declarations, covenants, conditions,
restrictions and dedications affecting the Project shall be submitted to
Lender for its approval, accompanied by a drawing or survey showing the
precise location thereof, and such approval shall be obtained prior to the
execution or granting of any thereof by Borrower. Borrower shall not execute
any lease of any portion of the Project without the prior written consent of
Lender. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any event of default or
cancellation under any lease now or hereafter in effect.
Section 5.20 SECURITY INSTRUMENTS. From time to time, upon the request
of Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a security instrument
or instruments naming Lender as secured party covering all contracts of any
kind entered into in connection with the Development
29
Work and all other property of any kind whatsoever owned by the Borrower and
used, or to be used, in the use and enjoyment of the Project and concerning
which Lender may have any doubt as to its being subject to the lien of the
Project Security Instruments.
Section 5.21 FURTHER ASSURANCES; COOPERATION. Borrower will at any
time and from time to time upon request of Lender take or cause to be taken
any action, execute, acknowledge, deliver or record any further documents,
opinions, mortgages, security agreements, financing statements or other
instruments or obtain such additional insurance as Lender in its discretion
deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Loan
Agreement Supplement and to preserve, protect and perfect the security
interest intended to be created and preserved in the Project and the
Development Work.
Section 5.22 NEGATIVE COVENANTS. So long as any amount payable under
any Loan Document still remains unpaid or Lender shall have any commitment
to disburse the Loan hereunder, Borrower shall not, unless Lender shall
otherwise consent in writing (i) create, assume or suffer to exist any lien,
security interest or other charge or encumbrance, or any other type of
preferential arrangement, upon the collateral for the Loan assigned to Lender
by Borrower pursuant to Project Security Instruments, or (ii) sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of (A) all or substantially all of its assets
(in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), or (B) any of
the collateral for the Loan assigned to Lender by Borrower.
Section 5.23 SIGNS. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall erect
and place on or in the vicinity of the Project a sign or signs indicating
that Lender has provided construction financing for the Project. Said sign(s)
shall remain the property of Lender and shall be required to be removed only
after the Development Work has been completed.
30
ARTICLE VI
SALES OF LOTS
AND RELEASES FROM MORTGAGES
Section 6.1 SALES AGREEMENTS. Each Lot shall be sold under a Sales
Agreement. Each Sales Agreement must require full payment in cash to Borrower
at closing. No Lot may be leased, sold or conveyed under any lease,
conditional sales contract or other arrangement where Borrower retains a
deferred portion of the purchase price or any residual or contingent interest
in the Lot, including any purchase money security interest, without the
express prior written consent of Lender in each instance.
Section 6.2 SALES AND CLOSINGS. Borrower may enter into sales in the
ordinary course of business with bona fide third party buyers without
Lender's prior written consent if:
(a) a Sales Agreement is executed with the buyer which conforms to
the requirements of this Loan Agreement Supplement; and
(b) Borrower, acting in good faith following exercise of due
diligence, has determined that the buyer is financially capable of
performing all of its obligations under the Sales Agreement.
The Borrower shall furnish to the Lender copies of all Sales Agreements
immediately after execution of such Sales Agreements by all Persons who are
parties thereto. Lender in the exercise of its sole discretion may consider
any sale to be unsatisfactory if the sale fails to meet any of the
requirements of this Loan Agremeent Supplement. If this happens, or if any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may make written
demand on Borrower to submit future Sales Agreements for Lender's approval
prior to execution, together in each instance with accompanying financial
statements and other information that Borrower may have pertaining to the
prospective buyer. Until such time as the earlier of (i) the Lender's
notification of Borrower that the Sales Agreements need no longer be
submitted prior to execution or (ii) the Event of Default is cured or Lender
has waived such Event of Default, Borrower shall comply with any such demand
by Lender.
Section 6.3 SALES OPERATIONS AND SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS. Borrower shall
at all times maintain adequate marketing capability for the sale of the Lots,
and shall perform all obligations required to be performed by it under each
Sales Agreement.
Section 6.4 RELEASES FROM LIEN OF MORTGAGE. Borrower may from time to
time request that Lender release one or more Lots from the lien of the
Mortgage and the other Project Security Instruments encumbering such Lots.
Lender agrees that it will execute a partial release that releases Lender's
lien on such Lot pursuant to the Mortgage and the documents executed pursuant
thereto, provided that in all instances the following conditions precedent
shall have been satisfied:
31
(a) Lender shall have received a written notice requesting the
partial release no fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the date
on which the partial release is to be effective, which notice shall
specify (i) the Project, (ii) the specific Lots to be released, (iii)
if such release is being requested in connection with a sale of the
Lots, the Persons to whom such Lots are being sold, which Person shall
not be an Affiliate of the Borrower, and (iv) the Lender's Release
Prices therefor;
(b) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender
that (i) the closing of the sale and/or release of such Lot shall be
conducted through an escrow with a title company satisfactory to
Lender, and (ii) such title company shall have been instructed, which
instructions shall have been acknowledged and agreed to by such title
company and which cannot be changed or supplemented without Lender's
written concurrence, not to record Lender's partial release until such
title company receives in respect of such release an amount equal to
Lender's Release Price for such Lot and is irrevocably committed to
disburse such amount to Lender;
(c) Lender shall have received executed originals of all
instruments, agreements and other documents, if any, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, which Lender determines are necessary
or appropriate, to evidence and/or effectuate the partial release and
to modify the Project Documents as a result thereof, and
(d) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender
that Borrower has satisfied all conditions precedent in the Project
Documents relating to the release of the Lots.
If the title insurance company that is selected by Borrower to insure
title to the Lots sold by Borrower elects to have Lender and/or Borrower
enter into a master release agreement that provides for the release of the
Lots once all of the Lots in the Project are sold instead of being released
one at a time, then Lender agrees to enter into such a master release
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.
In connection with each release of a Lot, provided all conditions to
such release have been met, Lender agrees to provide to the title insurance
company an estoppel letter, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender,
specifying the Lender's Release Price.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. In addition to the Events of Default
set forth in the Loan Agreement, the occurrence of any one or more of the

any other Project Document shall at any time be incorrect in any
material respect; or
(b) Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant
or agreement contained in this Loan Agreement Supplement or any other
Project Document, and such failure shall remain unremedied for thirty

be extended for such period of time as is necessary to cure the
failure, but in no event longer then one hundred twenty (120) days from
the date of the Lender's notice; provided further however that in the
event (i) Lender determines that the failure to immediately declare an
Event of Default could result in irreparable harm to the rights of the
Lender hereunder, under any other Project Document, or the rights of
the Lender with respect to the collateral pledged to secure the Loan,
or (ii) Lender determines that the failure to perform or observe the
terms of this Loan Agreement Supplement or any other Project Document
cannot be remedied with the passage of one hundred twenty (120) days,
then Lender may declare an immediate Event of Default in its notice
given pursuant to this SECTION 7.1(b); or
(c) Borrower fails to meet or comply with any of the projections or
other provisions of the Construction Progress Schedule (which failure
Lender reasonably believes may result in impairment of the value of its
security for the Loan or in the ability of the Borrower to repay the
Loan in full by the Project Maturity Date), and does not cure that
failure within thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender;
provided that such cure period shall not be applicable (i.e., there
shall be no cure period) if Lender has reasonably determined that such
failure is not susceptible to cure within thirty (30) days; or
(d) Borrower shall assert the invalidity or unenforceability of
any Project Document or any Project Document shall be adjudicated to be
invalid or unenforceable in any material respect, or
(e) any event of default (however described) under any other
Project Document shall occur and not be cured within the applicable
grace period; or
(f) any Project Security Instrument, for any reason, cease to

proceeds relating to the Project (other than to Lender); or
(i) there shall occur substantial deviations in the Development
Work from the Plans and Specifications without the prior approval of
Lender, or the existence of materially adverse defective workmanship or

defects are not corrected within thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof to Borrower, such deviations and defects to be conclusively
determined by Lender after consultation with the Inspector; or
(j) cessation of the Development Work for a continuous period
of (i) one hundred twenty (120) days or more if such cessation is by a
Force Majeure Event, or (ii) thirty (30) days or more if such cessation
is not caused by a Force Majeure Event; or
(k) the Development Work are not, in Lender's judgment, being

by Force Majeure Events of which Lender has been properly notified in
accordance with the provisions of SECTION 5.11);
(l) Borrower fails to commence construction of the Development
Work or fails to satisfy all of the conditions of this Loan Agreement
Supplement with respect to disbursement of Loan proceeds for costs of
such construction on or before the expiration of three (3) months after
date of this Loan Agreement Supplement; or
(m) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order
enjoining construction of the Development Work, or such a court or an
authorized governmental agency orders that sales of the Lots be
suspended or halted, or any required approval, license or permit is

in effect for a period of fifteen (15) days; or
(n) there occurs any attachment, levy, execution or other
judicial seizure of any portion of the Project, any other collateral
provided by Borrower under any of the Project Documents, or any
substantial portion of the other assets of Borrower, which is not
released, expunged, discharged or dismissed prior to the earlier of (i)
twenty (20) days after such attachment, levy execution or seizure, or
(ii) the sale of the assets affected thereby; or
34
(o) any surety obligated for any Development Work is called upon
to perform its obligations and/or any person demands funds pursuant to

(p) there occurs, in Lender's reasonable judgment, a materially
detrimental change in the operations or value of the Project, including
without limitation, a reduction in the sales prices from the projected
offering prices for the Lots to such an extent that existing sales to
date or continued sales at such price reductions, together with actual
and anticipated disbursements of Loan funds, cause or will cause an
Budget shortfall.
The Event of Default specified in subsection (g) above is for purpose of
cross default (and cross-collateralization pursuant to the Mortgage) only;
nothing contained herein shall be construed as imposing an obligation upon
Lender, or as evidencing Lender's intention, to make proceeds of the Loan
available to Borrower for any other project. In addition, Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that any Related Loan Documents shall provide or be
amended to provide that a default under each such Related Loan Document shall
be a default hereunder, and that a default under the Project Documents shall
be a default under Related Loan Documents.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that all material non-monetary defaults
are conclusively deemed to be and are defaults which impair the security of
the Mortgage, and that Lender shall be entitled to exercise any appropriate
remedy, including without limitation, foreclosure of the Mortgage upon the
occurrence of any such material non-monetary default.
Section 7.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Lender may, in addition to any other remedies which Lender may have hereunder
or under the Project Documents or the Loan Agreement or by law or in equity,
at its option and without prior demand or notice take any or all of the
following actions:
(a) Immediately terminate any further advance of Loan funds
hereunder, and from time to time apply all or any portion of the
undisbursed Loan funds to payment of accrued interest under the Note
and/or upon any other obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the
Project Documents. Lender may also withhold any one or more
disbursements after an event or condition occurs that with notice or the
passage of time could become an Event of Default, unless Borrower cures
or corrects the event or condition to the reasonable satisfaction of
Lender prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.
(b) Declare the Note to be immediately due and payable and record
a notice of default under the Mortgage and under the mortgages or deeds
of trust, as applicable, which form a part of the Related Loan Documents.
(c) Make any disbursements after the happening of any one or more
Events of Default, without thereby waiving its right to demand payment
of the Note and all other sums owing to Lender with respect to the
Project Documents or any other rights or remedies
35
described herein, and without liability to make any other or further
disbursements, notwithstanding Lender's previous exercise of any such
rights and remedies.
(d) Enter upon the Project and with or without legal process take
possession of the Project, remove Borrower and all employees,
contractors and agents of Borrower therefrom, and complete or attempt to
complete construction of the Development Work in accordance with the
Plans and Specifications with such changes, additions or corrections
therein as Lender may from time to time and in its judgment deem
appropriate, and market, sell or lease the Project, at the risk and
expense of Borrower. Lender shall have the right at any time to
discontinue any work commenced by it in respect to the Development Work
or to change any course of action undertaken by it and not be bound by
any limitations or requirements of time whether set forth herein or
otherwise. Lender shall have the right and power (but shall not be
obligated) to assume any construction contract made by or on behalf of
Borrower in any way relating to the Development Work and to take over
and use all or any part of the labor, materials, supplies and equipment
contracted for, by or on behalf of Borrower whether or not previously
incorporated into the Development Work, in the discretion of Lender.
Lender may also modify or terminate any contractual arrangements,
subject to its right at any time to discontinue any work without
liability. If Lender chooses to complete the Development Work, Lender
shall not assume any liability to Borrower or any other person for
completing them, or for the manner or quality of their construction, and
Borrower expressly waives any such liability. In connection with any
work of construction undertaken by Lender pursuant to the provisions of
this SUBSECTION (d), Lender may do any of the following:
(1) engage builders, contractors, subcontractors, architects,
engineers, suppliers, inspectors, consultants and others for the
purpose of furnishing labor, materials, equipment and other
services in connection with the work of construction, for the
protection or clearance of title to the Project, or for the
protection of Lender's interest with respect thereto;
(2) pay, settle or compromise all bills or claims which may
become liens against the Project or which have been or may be
incurred in any manner in connection with completing construction
of the Development Work or for the protection or clearance of title
to the Project or for the protection of Lender's interest with
respect thereto;
(3) prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in
connection with the Project;
(4) execute, acknowledge and deliver all other instruments
and documents in the name of Borrower that are necessary or
desirable, to exercise Borrower's rights under contracts concerning
the Project; and
36
(5) take such other action, including the employment of
security personnel to protect the Development Work, or refrain from
taking action under this Loan Agreement Supplement as Lender may in
its discretion determine from time to time.
Borrower shall be liable to Lender for sums paid or incurred for
completing construction of the Development Work whether the same shall
be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section or
otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by Lender
hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be paid by Borrower to Lender
upon demand with interest at the rate set forth in the Note, and all of
the foregoing shall be deemed and shall constitute disbursements under
this Loan Agreement Supplement and be secured by the Project Documents.
For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the
rights, powers and privileges granted by this SUBSECTION (d), Borrower
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to enter into such contracts,
perform such acts and incur such liabilities as are referred to in said
Section in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest.
(e) Where substantial deviations from the Plans and Specifications
appear which have not been approved as set forth herein, or where
defective or unworkmanlike labor or materials are being used in the
construction of the Development Work, or upon receipt of knowledge of
encroachments to which there has been no consent, or if Lender
determines that the Development Work are not being constructed in
accordance with any governmental requirements or any covenants,
conditions, restrictions, agreements or other matters, whether or not of
record, affecting the condition of title to the Project, Lender shall
have the right to immediately order stoppage of the construction and
demand that such conditions be corrected. After issuance of such an
order in writing, no further work shall be done on that portion of the
Development Work where there is a substantial deviation from the Plans
and Specifications which has not been approved as set forth herein,
where there is defective or unworkmanlike labor or materials, or which
does not comply with governmental requirements or matters affecting
title to the Project, without the prior written consent of Lender, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless and until said
condition has been fully corrected.
(f) Foreclose on any security for the Loan without waiving its
rights to proceed against any other security or other entities or
individuals directly or indirectly responsible for repayment of the
Loan, or waive any and all security for the Loan as Lender may in its
discretion so determine, and pursue any such other remedy or remedies as
Lender may so determine to be in its best interest.
(g) If Lender spends their funds in exercising or enforcing any of
its rights or remedies under the Project Documents, the amount of funds
spent shall be payable to Lender upon demand, together with interest at
the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Note,
37
from the date such funds were spent until repaid. Such amounts shall be
deemed secured by the Mortgage and other applicable Project Documents.
Whether or not Lender elects to employ any or all of the remedies
available to it in connection with an Event of Default, Lender shall not be
liable for (i) the construction of or failure to construct, complete or
protect the Development Work, (ii) the payment of any expense incurred in
connection with the exercise of any remedy available to Lender or the
construction or completion of the Development Work, or (iii) the performance
or non-performance of any other obligation of Borrower.
All remedies of Lender provided for herein, in the Loan Agreement and
in any other Project Document and in any of the Related Loan Documents are
cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided
by law or in equity. The exercise of any right or remedy by Lender hereunder
shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of default hereunder, under
any Project Document, under the Loan Agreement or under any of the Related
Loan Documents or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default,
or prejudice Lender in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder, under any
other Project Document, under the Loan Agreement or under any of the Related
Loan Documents unless, in the exercise of its rights, Lender realizes amounts
owed to it under such Project Documents, Loan Agreements and the Related Loan
Documents. If Lender exercises any of the rights or remedies provided in this
ARTICLE VII, that exercise shall not make Lender, or cause Lender to be
deemed to be, a partner or joint venturer of Borrower. No disbursement of
Loan funds by Lender shall cure any default of Borrower, unless Lender agrees
otherwise in writing in each instance.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all of Borrower's
obligations under the Project Documents may become immediately due and
payable without notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest
or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind
or character, at Lender's option, exercisable in its sole discretion. If such
acceleration occurs, Lender may apply the undisbursed Loan funds to the
obligations of Borrower under the Project Documents, in any order and
proportions that Lender in its sole discretion may choose.
Section 7.3 AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY ASSETS TO PAYMENT OF LOAN. The
Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender, following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, without notice or demand, to apply any property, balances, credits,
accounts or moneys of the Borrower then in the possession of Lender, or
standing to the credit of the Borrower, to the payment of the Loan.

preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or of any other right, power
or privilege. Except as specifically provided herein, rights and remedies

Document are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
otherwise available.

liquidation, reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceeding, or any
refinancing or restructuring in the nature of a "workout" of the Project
