the Improvements unless such subcontractor or material supplier is providing
such work or material under a signed contract or purchase order. Lender shall
not be obligated to make a Construction Advance unless Lender is satisfied, in
its sole discretion, that the conditions precedent to the making of such advance
have been satisfied by Borrower and that no Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
3.1.1.8. Establishment of an interest reserve in the Construction Loan
Budget shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay interest under the
Note once the interest reserve is depleted or deemed insufficient by Lender.
3.1.1.9. Lender shall not be obligated to make any Construction Advance to
Borrower if, in the sole opinion of Lender, the balance of the Loan yet to be
advanced by Lender is at any time less (the amount by which it is less being
hereinafter referred to as the "Deficiency") than the sum, as estimated by
Lender and the Inspecting Architect/Engineer, which will be required to complete
construction of the Improvements and the Project in accordance with the Plans
and Specifications and this Agreement and to pay all Direct Construction Costs,
Other Project Costs and all other costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever
(including interest) which will be incurred in connection with the completion of
construction of the Improvements. Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days after
receipt from Lender of a notice of Deficiency, which notice Lender may send to
Borrower at any time or times as Lender may reasonably deem appropriate to
notify Borrower that there is or may be a Deficiency, either (1) invest in the
Improvements in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender an amount equal to
the Deficiency and deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender
of such investment, which investment shall remain invested in the Improvements
until the Loan has been paid in full, or (2) deposit with Lender an amount
sufficient to eliminate the Deficiency. Any amounts deposited by Borrower with
Lender to pay any Deficiency shall not bear interest and may be commingled with
the general funds of Lender and shall be applied by Lender, as Lender shall
direct, to pay Direct Construction Costs and Other Project Costs as construction
of the Improvements progresses. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, Lender, in addition to all other rights which it may have, shall
have the unconditional right, at its option, to apply in whole or in part any
amounts deposited by Borrower with Lender with respect to any Deficiency to the
payment of the Loan in such order and priority as Lender shall deem appropriate.
In addition, Lender shall not be obligated to make any advance of the Loan to
Borrower with respect to any particular line item in the Construction Loan
Budget if such request exceeds the amount allocated to such line item in the
Construction Loan Budget; provided, however, upon completion of any particular
line item in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for an
amount less than the amount allocated to such line item in the Construction Loan
Budget, Borrower shall be permitted to apply such unused funds to any other line
item in the Construction Loan Budget which has not been completed; provided,
further, that at any time and from time to time, Borrower may reallocate amounts
among specific line items in the
9
Construction Loan Budget as long as the aggregate amount of the Construction
Loan Budget is unaffected.
3.1.1.10. Except for the Contractor, the Architect and the Interior
Designer (which shall have been approved by Lender prior to the date hereof),
and for any contracts or agreements that have been assigned to Borrower by
Lender or any of its affiliates as of the date hereof, Lender shall have
approved, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, each of the other
consultants and design professionals with whom Borrower has a direct agreement
in connection with this Project.
3.1.1.11. Each Request for Advance shall constitute, without the
necessity of specifically containing a written statement to such effect, a
reconfirmation to Lender that all of the representations and warranties of
Borrower set forth in Article 4 hereof are true and correct as of the date of
such Request for Advance, and with respect to the work and materials for which
payment is requested, that they have been physically incorporated into the
construction free of liens and encumbrances, that the value is as estimated,
that they have been performed or installed in a good and workmanlike manner,
that all materials and fixtures usually furnished and installed at that stage of
construction have been furnished or installed, and that the work and materials
conform to the Plans and Specifications and to all Legal Requirements and
applicable building restrictions.
3.1.2 No Third-Party Benefit; No Liability; Lender's Waiver. All conditions
and requirements of this Agreement relating to the obligations of Lender to make
advances of the Loan are for the sole benefit of Lender, and no other person or
party (including, without limitation, the Contractor, subcontractors and
material suppliers engaged in the construction of the Improvements) shall have
the right to rely on the satisfaction of such conditions and requirements by
Borrower as a condition precedent to Lender making an advance of the Loan.
Anything in this Agreement or any other agreement made with respect to the Loan
to the contrary notwithstanding, any advance of the Loan or approval given by
Lender or the Inspecting Architect/Engineer, herein or therein, whether or not
before or after an inspection of the Improvements by the Inspecting
Architect/Engineer or otherwise, shall not be deemed to be an approval by Lender
of any work performed thereon or approval or acceptance by Lender of any work or
materials done or furnished with respect thereto or a representation by Lender
as to the fitness of such work or materials, and shall not give rise to any
liability or responsibility of Lender. Lender shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to waive any such condition or requirement as a condition precedent
to making an advance of the Loan.
3.1.3. Frequency of Advances. Lender shall not be obligated to make
disbursements of the Loan more frequently than once every thirty (30) days.

or omission to act by Lender or its officers, directors, employees or agents in
connection therewith, including, without limitation, all claims for commissions
to any broker or intermediary, disputes between or among Borrower, Contractor,
Architect, any design professional, subcontractors, material suppliers,
purchasers and tenants, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful
malfeasance of Lender or by Lender's failure to perform its covenants under the
Loan Documents.

Documents.

resident under a Residential Living Agreement materially less than the standard
charge for the applicable unit in accordance with the Schedule of Charges

case under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States

other Loan Documents, may exercise any or all of the following rights and
remedies as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable:
6.2.1. Declare immediately due and payable, without further notice or
demand, all monies advanced under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any
of the Loan Documents which are then unpaid, together with all interest then
accrued thereon and all other amounts then owing (including, without limitation,
the prepayment fee provided for under Section 3.3 of the Note), and exercise all
rights and remedies available under the Note, Mortgage and any of the other Loan
Documents at law, in equity or otherwise;
6.2.2. Enter upon the Land and take possession of the Land,
Improvements and Project, either in the course of construction or completed, and
all materials, supplies, tools, equipment and construction facilities and
appliances located thereon, and proceed either in the name of Lender or in the
name of Borrower, as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which
29
authority is hereby granted by Borrower, is coupled with an interest, and is
irrevocable), as Lender shall elect, to complete the Improvements at the cost
and expense of Borrower, pursuant to advances made on behalf of Borrower
hereunder or otherwise. If Lender elects to complete or cause the Improvements
to be so completed, it shall do so substantially in accordance with such
changes, alterations or modifications in and to the Plans and Specifications as
Lender shall reasonably deem expedient or necessary, and Lender may enforce or
cancel all contracts entered into by Borrower or make other contracts which are
in Lender's sole opinion advisable, and Borrower shall be liable to pay Lender
upon demand any amount or amounts expended by Lender for such performance,
together with any costs, charges, or expenses incident thereto or otherwise
incurred or expended by Lender or its representatives on behalf of Borrower in
connection with the Improvements, and the amounts so expended shall be
considered part of the Loan evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage
and the Assignments, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate specified in
the Note to be payable by Borrower on such indebtedness;
6.2.3. Terminate Lender's obligations under this Agreement, including
the obligation to make further advances (including advances requested prior to
such termination but not actually made at the time such termination occurs); and
6.2.4. Institute appropriate proceedings for injunctive relief

under the other Loan Documents).
6.3. Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. All of the remedies herein given to
Lender or otherwise available at law or in equity to Lender shall be cumulative
and may be exercised separately, successively or concurrently. Failure to
exercise any one of the remedies herein provided shall not constitute a waiver
thereof by Lender, nor shall the use of any such remedies prevent the subsequent
or concurrent resort to any other remedy or remedies vested in Lender by the
Loan Documents or at law or in equity. To be effective, any waiver by Lender
must be in writing, and such waiver shall be limited in its effect to the
condition or default specified therein, and no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent condition or default. No grace period, qualification or condition
stated with respect to any Event of Default shall modify or extend, or will be
construed as an undertaking by Lender to modify or extend, the Completion Date,
which Completion Date remains always of the essence in this Agreement.
7. INSURANCE
7.1. Coverage. Borrower shall, from and after the date hereof and at
all times while this Agreement is in effect or the Note remains outstanding,
maintain at Borrower's expense insurance in amounts, with deductibles, with
companies reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and having such other terms and
provisions, all as described below or in Paragraph 5 of the Mortgage.
7.2. Certificates; Notices.
30
7.2.1. Borrower shall furnish to Lender duplicate copies of policies of
insurance or certificates of Borrower's insurance agent certifying to the
insurance required and including photocopies of all policies certified by such
agent to be correct, complete and current, as Lender may request (i) on or
before the Closing Date, (ii) upon the renewal or replacement of existing
coverage or the obtaining of additional coverage, and (iii) at any other time
upon the request of Lender.
7.2.2. Each insurance policy of Borrower shall name Lender as an
additional insured party and shall provide that all proceeds payable thereunder
shall be paid to Lender as loss payee or trustee for the beneficial owners
thereof. All policies shall be issued by companies acceptable to Lender and
having a Standard & Poors financial rating of AA or better and a size class
rating of XII or larger.
7.2.3. Each insurance policy of Borrower shall be on a non-reporting
and non-contributing form basis and shall contain a provision (i) requiring the
insurer to notify Lender, in writing and at least thirty (30) days in advance,
of any cancellation or material change in the policy, and (ii) stating that any
loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or
neglect of the insureds and notwithstanding (a) the occupation or use of the
Project for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy,
(b) any change in title to or ownership of the Project, or (c) any provision of
the policy relieving the insurer thereunder of liability for any loss by reason
of the existence of other policies of insurance covering the Project against the
peril involved, whether or not collectible. The amount of insurance in all cases
shall be sufficient to prevent any co-insurance contribution on any loss. Upon
completion of construction of the Improvements and prior to any occupancy, the
builder's risk policy shall be replaced by a policy of extended coverage fire
insurance, and the Borrower shall also deliver to the Lender a rental
curtailment or interruption insurance policy in the amount reasonably
satisfactory to Lender.
7.2.4. Each insurance policy of any of the design professionals
required pursuant to Section 7.3. hereof, or of the Contractor required pursuant

cancellation or material change in the policy.
7.3. Liability Insurance of Design Professionals. Borrower shall
require all of the design professionals under a direct agreement with Borrower
to procure and maintain professional liability insurance for claims arising out
of the performance by each such design professional of professional services in
connection with the Project. Such professional liability insurance shall provide

periods of time as are reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1. Lender's Discretion. If any condition of this Agreement requires
the submission of evidence of the existence or non-existence of a specified fact
or facts, or implies as a condition the existence or non-existence of such fact
or facts, Lender will, at all times, be free independently to establish to its
reasonable satisfaction and in its reasonable discretion such existence or
nonexistence. Where any matter herein requires the approval or consent of the
Lender, the giving or refusal to give such approval or consent shall be within
Lender's reasonable discretion, except as may be expressly stated otherwise. Any
waiver of any condition in connection with an advance by Lender, on any one or
more occasions, shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of any
such other condition for that or for any other advance, and Lender may strictly
enforce all conditions hereof with respect to any advance.
8.2. No Third Party Beneficiary. The parties do not intend the benefits
of this Agreement to inure to any third party, nor shall this Agreement be
construed to make or render Lender liable to any purchaser, materialman,
contractor, subcontractor, laborer or other person for goods or materials
supplied or work or labor furnished or services rendered in connection with the
construction of the Improvements, or for debts or claims accruing to any such
persons against Borrower. Lender shall not be liable for the manner in which any
advance may be applied by Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained herein,
in the Note or in any other Loan Document, or any conduct or course of conduct
by either or both of Borrower and Lender, before or after the execution of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any right, claim or
cause of action against Lender or any of its officers, directors, agents or
employees, in favor of any contractor, subcontractor, design professional,
supplier of labor or materials, or any of their respective creditors, or any
other person other than Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, advances made to any contractor, subcontractor, design professional,
supplier of labor or materials or other creditor of Borrower, whether or not
such advances are approved by Lender, shall not be deemed a recognition by
Lender of third party beneficiary status of any such person. No part of the Loan
will be at any time subject, or liable to attachment or levy at the suit of any
creditor of Borrower, or at the suit of any contractor, subcontractor or
material supplier, or any of their creditors, and regardless of any other term,
condition or provision hereof, no such third party will have any status, right
or entitlement hereunder.
8.3. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents shall create a partnership or joint venture or principal-agent
relationship between Borrower and Lender or between Lender and any other party,
or cause Lender to be liable in any way for the debts or obligations of Borrower
or any other party.
8.4. Reliance on Representations and Warranties. Lender shall be
entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth
in any of the Loan Documents without any investigation by Lender and
notwithstanding any investigation conducted by Lender or on its behalf before or
after the date hereof.
32
8.5. Assignment; Further Assurances.
8.5.1. The rights of Borrower hereunder shall not be assignable in any
respect without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be
granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion; provided, however, that
Borrower shall be entitled to assign its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of the
Borrower upon written notice to Lender. If such assignment hereof is made by
Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.5.1., Lender shall be entitled to make
advances to such assignee and such advances shall be secured by the Mortgage and
the Assignments. In any case, Borrower shall remain liable for repayment of all
sums advanced hereunder before and after such assignment.
8.5.2. Without Borrower's consent or approval, this Agreement, the Note
and any of the other Loan Documents may be endorsed, assigned or transferred in
whole or in part by Lender, and interests in the Loan may be participated by
Lender and any such holder, assignee or participant thereof shall succeed to and
be possessed of the rights of Lender under all of the Loan Documents to the
extent so endorsed, transferred, participated or assigned.
8.5.3. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon,
and shall inure to the benefit of, Borrower and Lender and their respective
successors and assigns.
8.5.4. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender such documents,
instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings and do such other acts
as may be necessary (a) to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Collateral at
any time securing or intended to secure the Note, and/or (b) to further and more
effectively carry out the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, as Lender may require from time to time, in Lender's discretion.

WHETHER HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE.

Loan, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts
due and payable by Borrower to Lender have been paid in full.
8.14. Controlling Document; Amendment. The provisions of this Agreement
(including the exhibits attached hereto) shall be deemed complementary to the
provisions of the other Loan Documents, but in the event of conflict, the
provisions hereof shall be deemed to modify and supersede the conflicting
provisions in such other Loan Documents and to control to the extent enforceable
under applicable law. Neither this Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents
may be modified or amended except by a written agreement executed by the party
against whom enforcement thereof is sought.
8.15. Extension of Maturity Date. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Section 8.15., Borrower shall have the right to request an extension of

Borrower's request to extend the Maturity Date for each of such twelve (12)
month periods shall be approved by Lender provided each of the following
conditions precedent to each such extension shall have been satisfied to the
sole satisfaction of Lender: (i) Borrower's written request to extend the
Maturity Date shall have been received by Lender no later than 60 days prior to

under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (v) Borrower shall have
paid Lender an extension fee equal to ____________________ percent (______%) of
the original principal amount of the Loan (the "Extension Fee"). In connection
