Increased Cost, at any time up to six (6) months after the Final Advance has
been made with respect to a Unit, request one or more Completion Advances in
order to pay to Agent construction or other development costs that were not the

minor easements for the benefit of any Unit Premises or which are deemed
reasonably necessary by Agent for the intended use of such Unit Premises,
voluntarily to dedicate or convey portions of any Unit Premises for road,
highway and other public purposes as required in the good faith judgment of
Agent in order to obtain the use of all or part of such Unit Premises for the
purposes intended (provided that no such action shall materially adversely
affect either the market value of such Unit Premises or the use of such Unit
Premises for its intended purpose), appoint, employ and deal with the
architects, engineers, consultants and contractors, purchase and arrange for
delivery of all materials, supplies, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and to
approve all related vouchers, invoices and statements. No direct payment by
Owner shall be made for any property or services of such architects, engineers,
consultants, or contractors relating to the acquisition, construction and
equipping of any Unit without the prior approval of Agent, and each amount so
approved and paid shall be in accordance with the Unit Budget, and shall be
part of the Unit Acquisition Cost of such Unit. If Agent has unreasonably
delayed or withheld giving the approvals required to make payments to such
Persons that are due, Owner may, on prior written notice to Agent, make
payments to any architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, vendors or
suppliers which are properly due and payable in accordance with the contracts
with said parties, and any such payment so made shall be and become a part of
the Unit Acquisition Cost of the Unit; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Owner shall not
make any such payment if it is subject to a Permitted Contest. Agent agrees
that, in any contract entered into pursuant to this Agreement in which Owner is
identified as an obligor rather than, or in addition to, Agent, the substance
of the text of subsection 18.5 hereof shall be included therein. Owner agrees
from time to time to execute and deliver to Agent all such documents and to
cooperate with Agent to do all such other acts and things as Agent may
reasonably request to enable Agent to perform its obligations under this
subsection 2.4, and all costs and expenses incurred by Owner in connection
therewith shall be capitalized and included as part of the Unit Acquisition
Costs of the applicable Unit or Units.

cooperate, at Agent's expense, in amending the legal descriptions in all

9.3 INSURANCE.
(a) INSURANCE WITH RESPECT TO EACH UNIT PREMISES, THE UNIT
IMPROVEMENTS, UNIT FF&E AND UNIT. Agent will maintain or cause to be maintained
on each Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E and Unit insurance of the
same types, in the same amounts and on the same terms and conditions as the
insurance required by Section 10 of the Lease, except that the terms "Owner",
"Agent" and "this Agreement" shall substitute for the terms "the Lessor", "the
Lessee" and "this Lease", respectively, the phrase "Unit Premises, Unit
Improvements, Unit FF&E and Unit" shall substitute for the phrase "Parcel of
Property", and references to "Equipment" or "Unit of Equipment" shall be deemed
deleted, and the phrase "Unit Acquisition Cost" shall substitute for the phrase
"Acquisition Cost"; PROVIDED, that in lieu of the insurance required by
paragraph (c)(i) of Section 10 of the Lease, Agent shall maintain or cause to
be maintained All Risk Builders' Risk Completed Value Non-Reporting Form
Insurance including collapse coverage and fire insurance with extended
coverage, in an amount not less than one hundred one percent (101%) of the
completed insurable value of the respective Unit Improvements and Unit FF&E.
The term "completed insurable value" as used herein means the actual
replacement cost, including the cost of debris removal, but excluding the cost
of constructing foundation and footings. In addition, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in paragraph (a) above, Agent shall procure at its
own cost and expense and maintain in full force and effect on each Unit
Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E and Unit insurance coverage for the
events described in clause (1)(A) and (B) of Section 15 hereof in an amount not
less than one hundred one percent (101%) of the completed insurable value of
the respective Unit Improvements and Unit FF&E.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in paragraph
(a) above, Agent covenants that it will procure at its own cost and expense and
maintain on each Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E and Unit at all
times during the term of this Agreement insurance policies with responsible
insurance companies with a Best Insurance Reports rating of "A-" or better and
a financial size category of "VIII" or higher, or if not rated by Best, a
Standard & Poor's claims paying ability rating of BBB+ or higher (or such other
companies acceptable to Owner and Assignee in their sole discretion). Subject

subsection 9.3 may be obtained by Agent by endorsement on its (or any
Affiliate's) blanket insurance policies. In addition, the insurance required by
this subsection 9.3 may be maintained with any captive insurance company
approved in writing by Owner and Assignee.

respect to, or occupy any Unit or permit the use, construction, or occupancy of
any Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E or Unit at a time when the
insurance required by paragraph (a) of this
-33-

Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Leasing, the General Partner and its
shareholders, officers and directors, the limited partners of Owner and the
Assignee for any and all loss or damage covered by any of the insurance
policies to be maintained under this Agreement to the extent that such loss or
damage is recovered under any such policy. Inasmuch as the foregoing waiver
will preclude the assignment of any such claim to the extent of such recovery,
by subrogation (or otherwise), to an insurance company (or other Person), Agent
shall give written notice of the terms of such waiver to each insurance company
which has issued, or which may issue in the future, any such policy of
insurance (if such notice is required by the insurance policy) and shall cause
each such insurance policy to be properly endorsed by the issuer thereof, or to
otherwise contain one or more provisions that, prevent the invalidation of the

of either of them, shall have the right of entry and free access to each Unit

in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any provision of this
Agreement.
No receipt of moneys by Owner from Agent after the termination or

Agreement, or operate as a waiver of the right of Owner to recover possession
of any Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E, or Unit by proper suit,

cured in the meantime, or after the commencement of suit, action or summary
proceedings or of any other remedy, or after a final order, warrant or judgment

THIS AGREEMENT FOR LEASE IS
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY

obligations under this Agreement and for which Owner may demand payment or
reimbursement pursuant to subsection 9.5 hereof, (iii) all amounts payable
pursuant to Section 12 hereof and (iv) all of the losses, damages (provided,
such losses and damages shall not include (a) the Unit Acquisition Cost or any
portion thereof and (b) any losses or damages arising during Agent's
construction of any Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E or Unit prior to such Event of
Default), costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
and expenses, commissions, filing fees and sales or transfer taxes) sustained
by Owner by reason of such Event of Default and the exercise of Owner's
remedies with respect thereto, including, in the event of a sale by Owner of
any Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E or Unit pursuant to this
subsection 11.2, all costs and expenses associated with such sale. The amounts
payable in clauses (i) through (iv) above are hereinafter sometimes referred to
as the "ACCRUED DEFAULT OBLIGATIONS".
After an Event of Default, Owner may sell its interest in any Unit
Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E, and Unit upon any terms that Owner
deems satisfactory, free of any rights of Agent or any Person claiming through
or under Agent (including, without limitation, any rights hereunder or under
the Lease or the Pledged Contracts). In the event of any such sale, in addition
to the Accrued Default Obligations, Owner shall be entitled to recover from
Agent, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to (i) in
the case of an Event of Default pursuant to paragraph (l) of subsection 11.1
hereof, an amount equal to the Loss Payment of all Unit Premises, Unit
Improvements, Unit FF&E and Units under this Agreement or (ii) in the case of
all other Events of Default pursuant to subsection 11.1 hereof, an amount equal
to the Unit Acquisition Cost of all Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E
and Units under this Agreement. Proceeds of any such sale received by Owner
that when combined with the Loss Payment or Unit Acquisition Cost received by
Owner exceed the Unit Acquisition Cost of such Unit Premises, Unit
Improvements, Unit FF&E or Unit shall be credited against the Accrued Default
Obligations Agent is required to pay under this subsection 11.2. If such excess
proceeds exceed the Accrued Default Obligations plus (in the case of clause (i)
of the first sentence of this paragraph) the Unrecovered Termination Costs, and
if Agent has paid all amounts required to be paid under this subsection 11.2,
such excess shall be paid by Owner to Agent. As an alternative to any such
sale, in addition to the Accrued Default Obligations, Owner may cause Agent to
pay to Owner, and Agent shall pay to Owner, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, an amount equal to (i) in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to
paragraph (l) of subsection 11.1 hereof, an amount equal to the Loss Payment of
all Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E and Units under this Agreement,
or (ii) in the case of all other Events of Default pursuant to subsection 11.1
hereof, an amount equal to the Unit Acquisition Cost of all Unit Premises, Unit
Improvements, Unit FF&E and Units under this Agreement. If Agent converts any
Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E or Unit after any Event of Default,
or if such Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E or Unit is lost or
destroyed by Agent, in addition to the Accrued Default Obligations, Owner may
cause Agent to pay to Owner, and Agent shall pay to Owner, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the Unit Acquisition Cost of
such Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E or Unit.
In the event of a sale pursuant to this subsection 11.2, upon receipt
by Owner of the amounts payable hereunder, Owner shall transfer all of Owner's
right, title and interest in and to the Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit
FF&E and Unit to Agent or a purchaser other than Agent, as the case may be.

THIS AGREEMENT FOR LEASE IS
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
In the event Agent does not pay Owner an amount equal to the Unit
Acquisition Cost of all Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E and Units
plus the Accrued Default Obligations, then, in addition to its other rights in
this subsection 11.2, Owner may require Agent to assign to Owner (or to a
foreclosure purchaser designated by Owner or Assignee), at no cost, all right,
title and interest of Agent in, to and under the Pledged Contracts, and in the
event any additional consent of any party to a Pledged Contract is required as
a precondition thereunder to an assignment to any other third party assignee
designated by Owner or Assignee, to use diligent efforts to obtain any such
required consent to such proposed non-foreclosure assignment and assumption of
the Pledged Contracts. No remedy referred to in this subsection 11.2 is
intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other remedy referred to above or otherwise available to Owner at law or in
equity, and the exercise in whole or in part by Owner of any one or more of
such remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Owner of
any or all such other remedies. No waiver by Owner of any Event of Default
hereunder shall in any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or
subsequent Event of Default.
With respect to the termination of this Agreement as to any Unit
Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E, or Unit as a result of an Event of
Default, Agent hereby waives service of any notice of intention to reenter.
Agent hereby waives any and all rights to recover or regain possession of any
Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E, or Unit or to reinstate this
Agreement as permitted or provided by or under any statute, law or decision now
or hereafter in force and effect.
The foregoing provisions of this subsection 11.2 are subject to the
provisions of subsection 11.4 and 18.11 hereof.
11.3 EVENTS OF UNIT TERMINATION. The occurrence of any of the
following shall constitute an Event of Unit Termination with respect to a Unit:
(a) NO LIENS. If at any time Agent shall create or permit to exist any
Lien against any Unit Premises, Unit Improvements or Unit (even though the same
may have existed at the time of any prior advance), except for Permitted Liens,
and such Lien is not removed, bonded or otherwise secured to the reasonable
satisfaction of Owner and Assignee within sixty (60) days after notice to Agent
by Owner.
(b) DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. If any Unit Improvements are partially or
totally damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause arising as a result of
Agent's actions or the failure of Agent to act and the restoration thereof
cannot reasonably be expected to be completed so that the Unit Improvements
will be completed on or before the applicable Unit Completion Date.
(c) CESSATION OF CONSTRUCTION. If there is any cessation of
construction of the Unit Improvements for any period after the date
construction shall commence in excess of sixty (60) successive calendar days,
unless the conditions of each of subparagraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) hereof
shall have been satisfied:

reasonably acceptable to Owner, for the protection of materials
stored on site and for the protection of the Unit Improvements,
to the extent then constructed, against deterioration and
against other loss or damage and theft;
(3) Agent shall have furnished to Owner
reasonably satisfactory evidence that such cessation of
construction will not (i) adversely affect or jeopardize the
rights of Agent under material agreements relating to the
construction or operation of the Unit Improvements or (ii) cause
the Unit Acquisition Cost for all Units under this Agreement to
exceed the sum of the Available Commitment; and
(4) from time to time upon Owner's reasonable
request therefor during any such cessation of construction,
Agent shall furnish to Owner reasonably satisfactory evidence
that (notwithstanding such cessation of construction) the
completion of the Unit Improvements can be accomplished on or
before the respective Unit Completion Date and within the Unit
Budget.
(d) NONCONFORMING WORK. If the construction of the Unit Improvements,
or any part thereof, is made in a manner other than in substantial conformance
with the Unit Plans and Agent fails to correct such nonconforming work in a
reasonably prompt and satisfactory fashion after notice and demand by Owner, or
if Agent shall fail to correct promptly any structural defect in the Unit
Improvements upon demand of Owner.
(e) SECURITY AGREEMENTS. If (i) Agent executes any chattel mortgage or
other security agreement on any materials, fixtures or articles of personal
property used in the construction or operation of the Unit Improvements or if
any such materials, fixtures or articles are purchased pursuant to any
conditional sales contract or other security agreement or otherwise so that the
title thereto will not vest in Owner free from encumbrance or (ii) any such
materials, fixtures or articles are not in accordance with the Unit Plans or
(iii) Agent does not furnish to Owner upon request the contracts, bills of
sale, statements, receipted vouchers and other agreements and documents, or any
of them, under which Owner claims title to such materials, fixtures or
articles.
(f) NON-COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. If Agent fails (subject to
Permitted Contests) to comply with any Legal Requirement relating solely to
such Unit, except any Legal Requirement, the noncompliance with which,
individually or in the aggregate (i) will not place Owner or any Assignee in
any danger of civil liability for which Owner or any Assignee is not adequately
indemnified hereunder or subject Owner or any Assignee to any danger of
criminal liability as a result of failure to comply therewith, (ii) will not
result in a material diminution in the value or utility of any Unit and (iii)
will not impair Agent's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement
or the Lease in a timely manner.

occurs as a result of Agent's actions or Agent's failure to act. Upon receipt
of proceeds from any award or sale made in connection with such Taking, so long

so long as Agent has made all payments to Owner required under subsection 11.4
hereof, Owner shall remit to Agent the net amount of such proceeds remaining
after reimbursement for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Owner in connection with the
negotiation and settlement of any proceedings related to such Taking. If such
proceeds are received prior to Agent making the payments required under
subsection 11.4 hereof, the net proceeds shall be applied to the amount payable

-50-
51
THIS AGREEMENT FOR LEASE IS
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
Taking, and (2) such damage or destruction or Taking, as the case may be, does

in any such event, (i) Agent shall promptly notify Owner in writing of such
event, (ii) Owner shall have no further obligation to make advances to Agent
with respect to such Unit, and (iii) Agent shall pay to Owner all amounts, if
any, owing hereunder with respect to such Unit. Insurance and condemnation

of Unit FF&E, or Unit to comply with any Legal Requirement applicable to any
Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, item of Unit FF&E, or Unit or the occupancy,
use or operation thereof, so long as no Event of Default or Event of Unit
Termination exists under this Agreement, and, in the judgment of Agent's
counsel, Agent shall have reasonable grounds to contest the existence, amount,
applicability or validity thereof by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings
in the reasonable judgment of Owner and Assignee, (i) shall not involve any
material danger that any Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, item of Unit FF&E,
or Unit or any portion thereof would be subject to sale, forfeiture or loss, as
a result of failure to comply therewith, (ii) shall not affect the payment of
any sums due and payable hereunder or result in any such sums being payable to
any Person other than Owner or any Assignee, (iii) will not place Owner or any
Assignee in any danger of civil liability which is not adequately indemnified
(for purposes of this Section 16(a), Agent's obligations under Section 12 of
this Agreement shall be deemed to be adequate indemnification if no Event of
Default or Event of Unit Termination exists and if such civil liability is
reasonably likely to be less than $250,000 per Unit or $1,000,000 with respect
to all Units) or to any criminal liability, (iv) if involving taxes, shall
suspend the collection of the taxes, and (v) shall be permitted under and be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which
Agent or any Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, item of Unit FF&E, or Unit is
subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder (the "PERMITTED
CONTEST"). Agent shall conduct all Permitted Contests in good faith and with

connection with a Permitted Contest brought by Agent under this Section 16,
Agent shall provide reasonable security to Owner, which security, upon Owner's
prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, can
be in the form of a reserve funded out of the proceeds of any advance made
hereunder, or provide such other security as may be demanded by Owner or any
Assignee to ensure payment of such tax, assessment, levy, fee, rent, charge or
Lien and compliance with any Legal Requirement and to prevent any sale or
forfeiture of any Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, item

under this Agreement and the Lease.

Assignee, have all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Owner
hereunder, provided that Agent's obligations as between itself and such

have against Owner. Upon written notice to Agent of any such assignment, Agent
shall thereafter make payments of any and all sums due hereunder to Assignee,
to the extent specified in such notice, and such payments shall discharge the
obligation of Agent to Owner hereunder to the extent of such payments. Anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Assignee shall be
obligated to perform any duty, covenant or condition required to be performed

18.1 SURVIVAL. Except as otherwise provided in the Lease, all
agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties set forth herein and
the obligation set forth herein to pay Additional Rent (as defined in the
Lease) shall survive until the expiration or other termination hereof, provided

related to periods prior to such expiration or other termination shall survive
such expiration or other termination to the extent that such obligations have
not yet been satisfied, and

THIS AGREEMENT FOR LEASE IS
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
(b) any non-monetary obligation under this Agreement which is expressly
provided to be performed after or to survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement shall survive the expiration or other termination hereof.
18.2 NO WAIVERS; CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. (a) No advance hereunder shall
constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Owner's obligation to make
further advances nor, in the event Agent is unable to satisfy any such
condition, shall any waiver of such condition have the effect of precluding
Owner from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default or
Event of Unit Termination as herein provided. Any advance made by Owner and any
sums expended by Owner pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
made pursuant to this Agreement, notwithstanding the existence of an uncured
Event of Default or Event of Unit Termination. No advance shall constitute a
waiver of the right of Owner to require compliance with the covenant contained
in subsection 10.1 hereof with respect to any such defects or material
departures from any Unit Plans not theretofore called to the attention of Owner
and approved by Owner and Assignee. No advance at a time when an Event of
Default or Event of Unit Termination exists shall constitute a waiver of any
right or remedy of Owner existing by reason of such Event of Default or Event of
Unit Termination, including, without limitation, the right to refuse to make
further advances.
All consents or approvals required to be given by Owner pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed given if not otherwise
specifically granted or denied within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by
Owner of written request from Agent.
18.3 OWNER AND ASSIGNEE SOLE BENEFICIARIES. All conditions of the
obligation of Owner to make advances hereunder are imposed solely and
exclusively for the benefit of Owner and any Assignee and their assigns, and no
other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in
accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Owner will refuse to
make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and
no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary
of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in
part by Owner, with the consent of Assignee, at any time if in its sole
discretion it deems it advisable to do so. Inspections and approvals of any
Unit Plans, Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E, and Unit and the
workmanship and materials used therein impose no responsibility or liability of
any nature whatsoever on Owner or any Assignee, and no Person shall, under any
circumstances, be entitled to rely upon such inspections and approvals by Owner
or any Assignee for any reason.
18.4 NO OFFSETS, ETC. The obligations of Agent to pay all amounts
payable pursuant to this Agreement and to purchase a Unit hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances of any character,
and such amounts shall be paid without notice, demand, defense, setoff,
deduction or counterclaim and without abatement, suspension, deferment,
diminution or reduction of any kind whatsoever, except as herein expressly
otherwise provided. The obligation of Agent to lease or sublease and pay Basic
Rent (as defined in the Lease) for a Unit upon Substantial Completion with
respect to such Unit is without any warranty or representation, express or
implied, as to any matter whatsoever on the part of Owner or any Assignee or
any Affiliate of either, or anyone acting on behalf of any of them.

SECTION 19. CERTAIN LIMITATIONS
It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to all
usury laws that are applicable to each such party, this Agreement and to each
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the
"TRANSACTIONS"). Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, or any other document, certificate, instrument or agreement entered
in connection with the Transactions (collectively the "TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS"),
it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which
constitutes interest under Applicable Usury Law (hereinafter defined) that is
contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by any party under the
Transaction Documents or otherwise in connection with the Transactions shall
under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest that would
lawfully be charged by such party under Applicable Usury Law, (ii) in the event
that maturity of any indebtedness evidenced by or payable pursuant to the
Transaction Documents is accelerated for any reason, or in the event of any
required or permitted payment or prepayment of all or any part of such
indebtedness (including, without limitation, and if applicable, any required or
permitted purchase of any Unit Premises, Unit Improvements, Unit FF&E or Unit,
or any required or permitted payment of the Unit Acquisition Cost), then such
consideration that constitutes interest as to any such indebtedness under
Applicable Usury Law may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by
such Applicable Usury Law, and (iii) excess interest, if any, provided for in
the Transaction Documents or otherwise in connection with the Transactions
shall be, in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 19,
cancelled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the
recipient on the principal or stated amount of the affected indebtedness (or,
to the extent that the principal or stated amount of such indebtedness shall
have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such recipient to the
party entitled thereto). If at any time the rate of interest (denominated as
such) contractually called for in any Transaction Document (as the same may
vary from time to time pursuant to the terms of such Transaction Document, the
"STATED RATE"), exceeds the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by
Applicable Usury Law (the "MAXIMUM RATE") in respect of the indebtedness
-59-
60
THIS AGREEMENT FOR LEASE IS
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
evidenced by such Transaction Document, taking into account all other amounts
paid or payable pursuant to the Transaction Documents which constitute interest
with respect to such indebtedness under Applicable Usury Law regardless of
whether denominated as interest (collectively, the "OTHER CHARGES"), then the
rate of interest to accrue on such indebtedness shall be limited to such
Maximum Rate (taking into account the Other Charges), but any subsequent
reduction in the Stated Rate applicable to such indebtedness shall not reduce
the rate of interest or yield to accrue on such indebtedness to a rate that is
less than such Maximum Rate (taking into account the Other Charges) until such
time as the total amount of interest or yield on such indebtedness equals the
amount of interest or yield which would have accrued if the Stated Rate
applicable to such indebtedness had at all times been in effect. If at the
maturity or final payment of any indebtedness the total amount of interest or
yield paid or accrued on such indebtedness under the preceding sentence is less
than the total amount of interest or yield which would have accrued if the
Stated Rate applicable to such indebtedness had at all times been in effect,
then to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Usury Law there shall be due
and payable with respect to such indebtedness an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued
on such indebtedness if such Maximum Rate in respect of such indebtedness had
at all times been in effect and been chosen as the rate of interest or yield to
be applicable throughout the term of such indebtedness (taking into account the
Other Charges) and (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such
indebtedness if the Stated Rate applicable to such indebtedness had at all
times been in effect, over (b) the amount of interest accrued in accordance
with the provisions of the Transaction Document evidencing such indebtedness
after giving effect to the preceding sentence. All amounts paid or agreed to be
paid for the forbearance or detention of sums pursuant to or in connection with
the Transaction Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Usury
Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term
thereof so that the rate or amount of interest paid or payable with respect to
any amount of indebtedness evidenced or payable pursuant to the Transaction
Documents does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling, if any. As used herein,
the term "APPLICABLE USURY LAW" means that law, if any, that is applicable to
any particular Transaction and that limits the maximum non-usurious rate of
interest that may be taken, contracted for, charged, reserved or received with
the respect to such Transaction, including the Federal laws of the United
States of America, the laws of the State of New York, the laws of the State of
Texas, and the laws of any other jurisdiction that may be mandatorily
applicable to such Transaction notwithstanding other provisions of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. As used herein, the term
"interest" means interest as determined under Applicable Usury Law, regardless
of whether denominated as interest in the Transaction Documents (except to the
extent that this Section 19 specifically refers to interest denominated as
interest). The right to accelerate maturity of any indebtedness evidenced by
any Transaction Document, and the right to demand payment of the Unit
Acquisition Cost does not include the right to accelerate any interest, or to
receive any other amounts, which would cause the Transactions to be usurious
under Applicable Usury Law. To the extent (if any) that Texas law determines
the Maximum Rate, such Maximum Rate shall be determined by utilizing the
indicated rate (weekly) ceiling from time to time in effect pursuant to Texas
Revised Civil Statutes Annotated Article 5069-1.04, as amended. In no event
will the provisions of Texas Revised Civil Statues Annotated Articles 5069-2.01
through 5069-8.06 or 5069-15.01 through 5069-15.11 be applicable to the
Transactions. All computations of the maximum amount allowed under Applicable
Usury Law will be made on the basis of the actual number of days
-60-

Documents.
