In the event that the Title Insurer has required that the ALTA 9 endorsement, the ALTA 3.1 zoning endorsement and certain other endorsements to the Title Insurance Policy contain language to the effect that the coverage provided by such endorsements extends only to the “original effective date” of the Title Insurance Policy instead of advancing the effective date of such endorsements at the time the effective date of the Title Insurance Policy is advanced at each disbursement of the Loan, the Borrower agrees that the Borrower will cause the Title Insurer to update the effective date of the ALTA 9 and ALTA 3.1 zoning endorsements to the date of the applicable foundation surveys described in subsection (iii) below.

ARTICLE 4.

DISBURSEMENT OF THE LOANS

4.1 Procedure for Borrowing.

(a) Method of Loan Request. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow under the Commitment during the Commitment Period, provided the Borrower shall give the Lender written notice (the “Notice of Borrowing”) signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, which Notice of Borrowing must be received at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Loan. The Lender’s obligation to make any Loan on the requested Borrowing Date shall be subject to (i) the Borrower’s submission of the Notices of Borrowing to the Lender on or about the same days of each month, and (ii) any additional time required by the Lender to resolve any issues related to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 or the deliverables required with each Notice of Borrowing set forth in subsection (b) below. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the amount of the requested Loan.

(b) Deliverables with Notices of Borrowing. With each Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower shall provide to the Lender each of the following: (i) a breakdown by the cost categories used in the Budget of (A) total costs (as shown on the Budget), (B) all amounts previously disbursed, (C) the balance remaining, (D) the requested disbursement, (E) any Change Orders, and (F) the balance to remain after the requested disbursement; (ii) if such Notice of Borrowing includes items to be paid to the Contractor, requisitions from the Contractor for such amounts, including AIA Forms 702 and 703 (or equivalent forms acceptable to the Lender) which provide a breakdown by trade and/or other categories acceptable to the Lender of (A) the total Contract sum, (B) the total of all amounts previously disbursed, (C) the balance remaining, (D) the requested disbursement, and (E) the balance to remain after the requested disbursement, all of which shall be certified by the Contractor as to the accuracy of the same in form satisfactory to the Lender; and (iii) if such Notice of Borrowing includes items other than payments for work performed under the Construction Contract, a statement from the Borrower of the purpose for which the Loan is desired, together with invoices for the same.

(c) Notices of Borrowing Twice Monthly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may submit no more than two (2) Notices of Borrowing in any calendar month and only two (2) Loans shall be made in any calendar month, unless otherwise agreed to by the Lender in its sole discretion; provided that no agreement by the Lender to permit the Borrower to submit more than two (2) Notices of Borrowing in any calendar month or to obtain more than two (2) Loans in any calendar month shall constitute a waiver of the limitation in this clause (c) or permit the Borrower to submit more than two (2) Notices of Borrowing or to obtain more than two (2) Loans in any calendar month thereafter.

4.2 Account, Pledge and Assignment, and Disbursement Authorization.

(a) At its option, the Lender may disburse the proceeds of each Loan (a) by deposit into the Account, (b) through the Title Insurer by disbursing the proceeds of such Loan to the Title Insurer (and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by the Lender to the Title Insurer shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Lender makes such disbursement), (c) to any Person to whom the Lender in good faith determines payment is due (and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by the Lender shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Lender makes such disbursement and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust as fully as if made to the Borrower),

- 24 -

or (d) otherwise to or for the benefit or account of the Borrower under the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents to the Account or any account designated by the Borrower in writing to the Lender, to the Guarantor as set forth below, or to any other Person as the Lender so determines as appropriate. No further authorization from the Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct Loans and all such Loans shall satisfy the obligations of the Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Security Documents as fully as if made directly to the Borrower. The execution of this Agreement by the Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the proceeds of the Loans.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder, the Lender may disburse proceeds of the Loan to the Guarantor for completion of Construction, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Completion Guaranty. All such disbursements shall be considered Loans hereunder and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Security Documents as fully as if made directly to the Borrower.

(d) As additional security for the Borrower’s performance under the Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby irrevocably pledges and assigns to the Lender all monies at any time deposited or held in the Account, and grants the Lender a control over and security interest in the Account and all monies and proceeds of such deposited therein. All Loan proceeds shall be withdrawn and used solely for the purposes specified in the Notice of Borrowing, and the Borrower shall upon the request of the Lender, promptly furnish the Lender with evidence of such use.

4.3 Loans Shortfall. The Lender shall be obligated to make Loans only at such times as the Loans are “in balance.” The Loans shall be deemed “in balance” only at such times as the sum of (i) the Commitment minus the Aggregate Loans, plus (ii) any unfunded portion of the Equity Requirement, are sufficient, as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion, in the aggregate and individually as to each Line Item category in the Budget (taking into account any Contingency or Line Item savings that the Borrower is allowed to reallocate in accordance with this Agreement), to pay all costs of completing the Project and to pay all other Project Costs set forth in the Budget through the completion of Construction of the Project. For the purposes of determining whether or not the Loans are “in balance” as provided herein, any funds allocated to the Contingency and not previously reallocated shall only be reallocated if and as may be elected by the Lender in its sole discretion.

In the event that the Lender determines, in its sole, but commercially reasonable, discretion, that funds available from cost savings and the Contingency Line Item category are not sufficient to restore the Loan to “in balance” as provided herein, (i) the Lender shall not be obligated to make any Loans hereunder, and (ii) the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Lender, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Lender, immediately available funds sufficient to bring the Loans “in balance,” (such funds, the “Shortfall Funds”) as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion. The determination as to whether or not the Loans are “in balance” as required by this Section may be made by the Lender at any time, including with each request for a Loan.

The Shortfall Funds shall be deposited into a non-interest-bearing account with the Lender, shall be pledged to the Lender as additional collateral for the Loans, shall be disbursed on the same terms and conditions as funds are disbursed from the Loan proceeds and shall be disbursed prior to any further disbursement of funds from the Loan proceeds. Such Shortfall Funds are hereby pledged to the Lender as

- 25 -

additional security for the Loan, and the Borrower hereby grants and conveys to the Lender a security interest in all funds so deposited with the Lender, as additional security for the Loan. Within five (5) Business Days after the Lender’s request, (i) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender such documents, in form reasonably acceptable to the Lender, as are reasonably requested by the Lender in connection with the deposit of the Shortfall Funds, including a pledge agreement, and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

4.4 Budget. The Borrower has submitted to the Lender the Budget specifying all costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever to be incurred by the Borrower in connection with the Construction as described more fully in Section 4.5. The Budget includes, in addition to the Line Items described in Section 4.5, the Contingency described in Section 4.6. All changes to the Budget (other than those resulting from Change Orders which the Borrower is permitted to make pursuant to Section 7.6 and changes in Line Items which the Borrower is permitted to make pursuant to Section 4.5) shall in all respects be subject to the prior written approval of the Lender. The Lender’s approval of the Budget or changes thereto does not constitute a representation or agreement of the Lender that all such costs and expenses are accurate or properly reflected in the Budget or that it has been approved by any required party, the responsibility therefor being solely with the Borrower.

4.5 Budget Line Items. The Budget shall include as line items (“Line Items”) the cost of all labor, services, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed for the completion of Construction of the Project, and all other costs, fees, and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction or the furnishing, fixturing, equipping, use, occupancy, maintenance or operation of the Project prior to the Completion Date, including the cost of architect fees, engineering fees, attorneys’ fees, leasing commissions, advertising and promotion expenses, interest, real estate taxes, survey costs, title insurance premiums, premiums on other insurance policies required to be furnished by the Borrower hereunder for the Project prior to the Completion Date, any other unpaid Loan expenses and fees referred to and described in this Agreement, and procurement of all Governmental Approvals and any Licenses and Permits necessary to make the Project ready for use and occupancy, and all other sums due in connection with Construction and operation of the Project, the Loans and this Agreement prior to the Completion Date. The Borrower agrees that all Loan proceeds disbursed by the Lender shall be used only for the Line Items for which such proceeds were disbursed. The Lender shall not be obligated to disburse any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Line Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Line Item, except for disbursement of Contingency that is not subject to the approval of the Lender as set forth in Section 4.6. In the event that there is an excess of any Line Item over the actual costs incurred in connection with the work associated with such Line Item, as determined by the Lender after consultation with the Borrower and the Construction Consultant after such work has been completed and all such costs have been paid in full, such excess may be reallocated to another Line Item at the Borrower’s request; provided, however, that no such allocation shall be made to development fees, overhead or similar costs of any Loan Party and in no event shall such allocation be applied to costs payable to any Loan Party or any of Affiliate of a Loan Party. The Borrower agrees that the Lender may, at any time after the occurrence of a Default and for so long as a Default continues, without prior written notice to the Borrower, disburse the Line Items for the purposes for which they had been set aside, or for any other Project related purposes as the Lender may determine, either by payment of such items or by reimbursement to the Borrower for payments actually made by the Borrower for such items.

4.6 Contingency. The Budget shall contain a Line Item in an amount satisfactory to the Lender designated as the contingency (the “Contingency”) which represents an amount necessary to provide assurances to the Lender that additional funds are available to be used if additional costs and expenses are incurred, or additional interest accrues on the Loans or unanticipated events or problems occur. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.4 and 4.5, any disbursements of the Contingency shall be

- 26 -

subject to the prior written approval of the Lender except for disbursement of Contingency that does not exceed $100,000 for each individual disbursement and does not exceed $300,000 for all such disbursements during the term of this Agreement.

4.7 Retainage. The Lender may retain from all advances of Loans an aggregate amount of (i) 10% until Completion of 50% of the Construction of the Improvements and (ii) 5% thereafter, of Direct Costs actually incurred by the Borrower for work in place as part of the Project, as determined from time to time by the Construction Consultant (the “Retainage”); provided, however, that no amounts will be retained from advances of the Loan if such advances are for payment of (a) “General Conditions” as set forth in the Construction Contract, (b) materials for the Project which have been bought directly by the Contractor so long as the aggregate cost of such materials does not exceed $1,000,000 (or such higher amount if Lender consents to such amount), or (c) for the avoidance of doubt, “Development Fees” as set forth in the Budget under such Line Item; provided further that, disbursements of portions of such Retainage may, at the option of the Lender, be made hereunder for the purpose of making final payment of any balance due any subcontractor after full and final completion of the work on the Improvements being done by such subcontractor, as determined by Construction Consultant, and delivery to the Lender of such evidence as may be required by the Lender to assure the Lender that no party claims or has a right to claim any statutory or common law lien arising out of such subcontractor’s work or the supplying of labor, material, and/or services in connection therewith; provided further that, once the Project has been substantially completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, as determined by the Construction Consultant and the Lender, all the remaining Retainage may be disbursed to the Borrower other than 150% of the costs for punch list items, or final items to be fixed upon final walk through of the Project. Upon satisfaction of all conditions to the Final Loan, as set forth in Section 3.3, the Lender shall disburse to the Borrower, as the Final Loan, any and all amounts then being retained by the Lender under this Section.

4.8 Stored Materials. The Borrower shall cause all materials supplied for or intended to be utilized in the Construction of the Improvements, but not yet affixed to or incorporated into the Improvements or the Land, to be stored on the Land or at such other site as the Lender may approve, in each case with adequate safeguards to prevent loss, theft, damage or commingling with materials for other projects. Except as may otherwise be approved by the Lender, all stored materials must be incorporated into the Project within sixty (60) days of the Borrower’s Notice of Borrowing regarding such materials, and the following conditions shall apply: (i) copies of all invoices related to such stored materials and a stored material inventory sheet shall be submitted with the Notice of Borrowing; (ii) with respect to materials stored on the Land, such materials shall be adequately secured, as determined by the Construction Consultant; and (iii) with respect to materials stored off the Land, such materials must be (A) adequately stored at a bonded warehouse or other site approved by The Lender, in which case such stored materials must be segregated and specifically identifiable with respect to the Project, (B) insured under an insurance policy naming the Lender as an additional insured, (C) subject to a first priority lien held by the Lender, and (D) subject to inspection by the Construction Consultant. In the event that the Lender approves the storage of materials at a site other than the Land as provided herein, at no time shall the value of such materials stored at a site or sites other than the Land exceed $1,000,000.

4.9 Correction of Defects. (a) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower acquires knowledge of or is given notice of a material defect in workmanship in the Project or any material departure from the Plans and Specifications, or any other requirement of this Agreement, proceed diligently to correct all such defects and departures unless otherwise permitted by the Lender, and (b) complete such corrections within thirty (30) days after the Borrower acquires such knowledge or is given such notice, or, if such corrections cannot be completed within thirty (30) days, such additional period of time as it shall take with diligence to complete such corrections. Upon the Borrower acquiring knowledge of such defect or departure, the Borrower shall promptly advise the Lender in writing of such

- 27 -

matter and the measures being taken to make such corrections along with an estimate of the time of completion. Prior to a subsequent disbursement of any Loan proceeds, the Borrower shall advise the Lender of the status of any corrections which have not been completed. Nothing in this Section shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to complete the Construction on or before the Scheduled Completion Date, subject to any Unavoidable Delays permitted hereunder.

4.10 Construction Consultant. The Lender shall have the right to retain, at the Borrower’s expense, the Construction Consultant to (i) review and advise the Lender with respect to all Construction Documents, Change Orders, governmental permits and approvals, governmental agency filings, and other matters related to the design, Construction, operation and use of the Project, (ii) to confirm the feasibility of the Construction of the Project and the adequacy of the Borrower’s Budget, (iii) to monitor the progress of the development and Construction of the Project and (iv) to review on behalf of the Lender all Notices of Borrowing submitted by the Borrower. The fees and expenses of the Construction Consultant, whether internal or external, including all such fees and expenses incurred and unpaid to the date hereof, shall be due and payable by the Borrower as provided for herein or otherwise on demand. The Borrower acknowledges that (a) the Construction Consultant has been retained by the Lender to act as a consultant, and only as a consultant, to the Lender in connection with the development of the Project, and the Construction Consultant may be an employee of the Lender, (b) the Construction Consultant shall in no event have any power or authority to make any decision or to give any approval or consent or to do any other thing which is binding upon the Lender, and any such purported decision, approval, consent or act by the Construction Consultant on behalf of the Lender shall be void and of no force or effect, (c) the Lender reserves the right to make any and all decisions required to be made by the Lender under this Agreement, in its sole and absolute discretion, and without in any instance being bound or limited in any manner whatsoever by any opinion expressed or not expressed by the Construction Consultant to the Lender or any other person with respect thereto, (d) the Lender is entitled to the right but not the obligation to rely conclusively on the reports of the Construction Consultant with respect to any matter relating to the Construction of the Improvements, and (e) the Lender reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to replace the Construction Consultant with another inspector at any time and without prior notice to or approval by the Borrower. All inspections by or on behalf of the Lender or the Construction Consultant shall be solely for the benefit of the Lender, and the Borrower shall have no right to claim any loss or damage against the Lender or the Construction Consultant (whether or not an employee of the Lender) arising from any alleged (x) negligence or failure to perform such inspections, (y) failure to monitor disbursements of Loans or the progress or quality of Construction, or (z) failure to otherwise properly administer any aspects of the Loans.

4.11 Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to extend Loans and to transfer funds, in each case based on telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons who the Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Notices of Borrowing to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Lender a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Lender, the records of the Lender shall govern, absent manifest error.

4.12 Advances to the Borrower and Contractor Jointly. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and so long as it continues unremedied or uncured, at its option, the Lender may make any or all Loans to the Borrower and any contractor jointly either by check payable to the Borrower and such contractor jointly or by depositing any such Loan in a joint bank account established for such purpose requiring the joint authorization of or direction of the Borrower and such contractor for withdrawals.

4.13 Loans to Fund Interest Reserve. Loans to make interest payments due hereunder and payments on any Swap Contracts shall be made monthly, to the extent requested by the Borrower,

- 28 -

provided that (i) each monthly Loan shall not exceed the Borrower’s interest obligations actually due and payable on the Loan or payments actually due on any applicable Swap Contracts, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Loans made to the Borrower by the Lender for this purpose shall not exceed $390,924.00, as set forth in the interest reserve Line Item.

The Completion Percentage of the Project shall be determined with reference to the Completion Percentage identified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and shall be verified by the Construction Consultant, if the Lender so elects.

This assignment shall not, however, in the absence of affirmative ratification of such contracts by the Lender, be deemed to impose upon the Lender any of the Borrower’s obligations under any such contract. Incident to the assignment of the Construction Contract, the Architect’s Contract, the Engineer’s Contract, the Development Agreement, and the Plans and Specifications, the Borrower will fulfill the obligations of the Borrower thereunder, enforce the performance thereof and give immediate notice to the Lender of any default by the Architect or the Contractor thereunder.

It is further understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked. All sums so expended by the Lender shall be deemed to have been advanced to the Borrower and secured by the Security Documents and any other Loan Documents.

- 54 -

8.4 Lender’s Right to Stop Construction. If the Lender determines at any time in its good faith discretion that the Improvements are not being constructed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and all applicable governmental requirements, the Lender may immediately cause all Construction to cease on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance and withhold further disbursements under the Loan. The Borrower shall thereafter not allow any Construction, other than corrective work, to be performed on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance until such time as the Lender notifies the Borrower in writing that the nonconforming condition has been corrected. The Borrower shall notify the Lender and the Lender’s inspector immediately upon receipt of “red tag” or “stop order” notices from any federal, state, county or municipal building inspector or of unsatisfactory compliance with any applicable building code, and in such event the Borrower shall provide the Lender and the Lender’s inspector with a full and complete written explanation of the nature of such noncompliance.

8.5 Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender shall have, in addition to its option to declare the entire unpaid amount of the Loan and accrued interest thereon immediately due and payable, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law and at equity. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender shall also have, in addition to all rights and remedies set forth in the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents, the right to:

(a) Termination. Cancel the Lender’s obligations arising under this Agreement, including without limitation the cancellation and termination of any obligation to advance funds hereunder or under the Loan.

(b) Acceleration. Declare any or all of the Obligations immediately due and payable, terminate any and all Swap Contracts and demand payment of the principal sum due thereunder, with interest, advances, costs, and attorneys’ fees, and enforce collection of such payment by foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or the enforcement of any of the other Loan Documents, or other appropriate action. Upon any such declaration, the Obligations shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate or any other notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

(d) Specific Performance. Institute appropriate proceedings to specifically enforce performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(e) Taking of Possession. With or without legal process, take possession of the Land and Improvements, remove the Borrower and all agents, employees and contractors of the Borrower from the Land and Improvements, complete the work of construction, market, operate, and sell or lease the Land and/or Improvements and enforce any of its other rights and remedies under the Security Documents. For this purpose, the Borrower irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney in fact, which agency is coupled with an interest. As attorney in-fact, the Lender may, in the Borrower’s name, take or omit to take any action the Lender may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, exercising the Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents and all contracts concerning the Land and/or Improvements.

(f) Set-off. Set-off and apply, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any and all deposits, funds or assets at any time held by the Lender, and any and all other indebtedness owing

- 55 -

by the Lender, to or for the benefit, credit or account of the Borrower against any amounts owing to the Lender under any one or more of the Loan Documents.

(g) Receivership. Appoint or seek appointment of a receiver, without notice and without regard to the solvency of the Borrower or the adequacy of the security, for the purpose of preserving the Land and Improvements, preventing waste, and to protect all rights accruing to the Lender by virtue of this Agreement and the Deed of Trust, and expressly to make any and all further improvements, whether on-site or off-site, as the Lender may determine to be necessary to complete the development and Construction of the Improvements. All expenses incurred in connection with the appointment of such receiver, or in protecting, preserving, or improving the Land, shall be charged against the Borrower and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and enforced as a lien against the Land and Improvements.

(h) Other Remedies. Exercise all privileges, rights and remedies available to it under the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents and any and all other rights and remedies available to the Lender at law or in equity to the extent not inconsistent with the rights specifically granted to the Lender hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender hereby waives any setoff rights (contractual or statutory) it has or may have against any assets of the Guarantor held or deposited with Lender for collection of any amounts due to the Lender by the Guarantor arising out of the Loan Documents.

8.6 Repayment of Funds Advanced. Any funds expended by the Lender in the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable by the Borrower to the Lender upon demand, together with interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Note, from the date the funds were expended.

8.7 Rights Cumulative, No Waiver. All the Lender’s rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with those granted by law or at equity, are cumulative and may be exercised by the Lender at any time. The Lender’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not constitute a cure of any Event of Default unless all sums then due and payable to the Lender under the Loan Documents are repaid and the Borrower has cured all other Events of Default. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of the Lender to take, or any delay by the Lender in taking, action concerning any Event of Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Event of Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms. Any funds expended by the Lender in the exercise of its rights or remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable to the Lender upon demand, together with interest at the rate applicable to the principal balance of the Note from the date the funds were expended.

8.8 No Liability of the Lender. Whether or not the Lender elects to employ any or all remedies available to it in the event of an occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall not be liable for payment of any expense incurred in connection with the exercise of any remedy available to the Lender or for the performance or nonperformance of any obligation of the Borrower.

8.9 Discretionary Disbursements After a Default. During the continuance of a Default, and at other times as permitted by the Loan Documents, the Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make disbursements and to directly apply such disbursements to satisfy the Borrower’s obligations. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender during the continuance of a Default to hold, use, disburse and apply disbursements of Loan proceeds hereunder to payment of Project Costs, payment or performance of the current obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including payment of

- 56 -

interest on the Note currently due and payable and preservation and protection of the Improvements, but excluding any prepayment or accelerated payment of principal or interest). During the continuance of a Default, in addition to any other remedies which any Person may have under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law, the Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to requisition funds hereunder and disburse them pursuant to the Deed of Trust to enable the Construction, equipping and completion of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. All sums disbursed by the Lender pursuant to this Section or under other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents shall be deemed Loans and Obligations for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

The Lender shall not be liable in any way to the Borrower or any third party for the Lender’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and the Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of the Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of the Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond the Lender’s control.

9.10 Enforcement. If any attorney is engaged by the Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or as a consequence of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender, upon demand, the amount of all reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, without reference to statutory or other presumptions, and expenses and all costs incurred by the Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein.

9.11 Immediately Available Funds. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender shall be payable only in United States currency, immediately available funds.

9.12 Lender’s Consent. Wherever in this Agreement there is a requirement for the Lender’s consent and/or a document to be provided or an action taken “to the satisfaction of the Lender”, it is understood by such phrase that the Lender shall exercise its consent, right or judgment in a reasonable manner given the specific facts and circumstance applicable at the time, and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.13 Loan Sales and Participations; Disclosure of Information.

(a) The Borrower agrees that the Lender may elect, at any time, to sell or assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, and that any such sale or assignment may be to one or more financial institutions, private investors, and/or other entities, at the Lender’s sole discretion. The Borrower further agrees that the Lender may disseminate to any such actual or potential purchaser(s) or assignee(s) all documents and information (including, without limitation, all financial information) which has been or is hereafter provided to or known to the Lender with respect to: (i) the Land and Improvements and its operation, (ii) the Project and the Construction, and/or (iii) any party connected with the Loan (including, without limitation, any Loan Party, any partner, joint venturer or member of any Loan Party, any joint venturer or member of any Loan Party and any Indemnitor) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information

- 59 -

and instructed to keep such information confidential). In the event of any such sale or assignment, the Lender and the parties to such transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of the Lender as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves. In connection with any such sale or assignment, the Borrower further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of the Borrower to each purchaser or assignee, and upon written request by the Lender, the Borrower shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale or assignment. The indemnity obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall also apply with respect to any purchaser or assignee.

(b) The Borrower understands that the Lender may from time to time enter into a participation agreement or agreements with one or more participants pursuant to which each such participant shall be given a participation in the Loan and that any such participant may from time to time similarly grant to one or more subparticipants subparticipations in the Loan. The Borrower agrees that any participant or subparticipant may exercise any and all rights of a lienholder or set-off with respect to the Borrower, as fully as if such participant or subparticipant had made a loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of the participation or subparticipation given to such participant or subparticipant in the Loans. For the purposes of this Section only, the Borrower shall be deemed to be directly obligated to each participant or subparticipant in the amount of its participation interest in the amount of the principal of, and interest on, the Loans. Nothing contained in this Section shall affect the Lender’s right of set-off (under the Loan Documents or applicable law) with respect to the entire amount of the Loans, notwithstanding any such participation or subparticipation. The Borrower further agrees that the Lender may disseminate to any such actual or potential participant all documents and information (including, without limitation, all financial information) which has been or is hereafter provided to or known to the Lender with respect to: (i) the Land and Improvements and its operation, (ii) the Project and the Construction, and/or (iii) any party connected with the Loan (including, without limitation, any Loan Party, any partner, joint venturer or member of any Loan Party, any joint venturer or member of any Loan Party and any Indemnitor). In connection with any such participation, the Borrower further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of the Borrower to each participant, and upon written request by the Lender, the Borrower shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such participation.

(c) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including this Section, the Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder.

9.14 Capital Adequacy. If the Lender or any participant in the Loan determines in its good faith discretion that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental agency (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or such participant, or any corporation controlling the Lender or such participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, the Lender’s or such participant’s or such corporation’s commitments with respect to the Loans or its making or maintaining advances with respect to the Loans below the rate which the Lender or such participant or such corporation controlling the Lender could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the customary policies of the Lender or such participant or corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within ten (10) days after written demand by the Lender or such participant, pay to the Lender or such participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender

- 60 -

or such participant or such corporation controlling the Lender to the extent that the Lender determines in its good faith discretion such increase in capital is allocable to the Lender’s obligations with respect to the Loans hereunder.

9.15 Lender’s Agents. The Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of the Lender’s rights under this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents. Any reference to the Lender in any of the Loan Documents shall include the Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors. The Borrower shall pay the costs of such agent or independent contractor either directly to such person or to the Lender in reimbursement of such costs, as applicable.

9.16 Tax Service. The Lender is authorized to secure, at the Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract with a third party vendor which shall provide tax information on the Land, Improvements and Project satisfactory to the Lender.

9.17 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.

9.18 Severability. If any provision or obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Note or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectability therefor, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Lender’s obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by the Borrower.

9.19 Heirs, Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms of the Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties.

9.20 Time. Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Agreement.

9.21 Headings; Date. All article, section or other headings appearing in this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents. The date of the Loan Documents is for reference purposes only.

9.22 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, except to the extent preempted by federal laws. The Borrower and all persons and entities in any manner obligated to the Lender under the Loan Documents consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court within the State of North Carolina having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by North Carolina or federal law.

9.23 USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, the Lender (for itself and/or as agent for all purchasers, assignees or participants described in Section 9.13 hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and the Borrower shall provide to the Lender, the Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.

9.24 Integration; Interpretation. The Loan Documents contain or expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters contemplated therein and supersede all prior negotiations or agreements, written or oral. The Loan Documents shall not be modified except by written instrument executed by all parties. Any reference to the Loan Documents includes any amendments, renewals or extensions now or hereafter approved by the Lender in writing.

9.25 Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this document may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages.

9.26 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Note and shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated and all Obligations are paid in full.

9.27 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and, except not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

9.28 Authorization to File Financing Statements; Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements as authorized by applicable law, required by the Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests granted by the Security Documents. For purposes of such filings, the Borrower agrees to furnish any information requested by the Lender promptly upon request by the Lender. The Borrower also ratifies its
