if required, such consent, approval, order or authorization has been obtained or
such registration, declaration or filing has been accomplished.
4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Project Loan Documents, the borrowing under this Agreement and the use of the
proceeds of the Project Loan will not violate any Legal Requirement or any
Contractual Obligation of the Borrower and will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the Borrower's properties or
revenues pursuant to any Legal Requirement or Contractual Obligation, except for
the Lien of the Security Documents.
4.6 Compliance with Building Codes, Zoning Laws, Etc. The Borrower has
no knowledge of any existing, probable or potential violations of any Legal
Requirement affecting the Land or present use or occupancy of the Improvements.
4.7 Ownership of Property; Liens. The Borrower has good record and
marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the
Property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other
property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien, other than a
Permitted Exception.
4.8 No Default. The Borrower is not in default under or with respect to

the business, operations, property or financial or other condition of the
Borrower, or which could materially adversely affect the ability of the Borrower
to perform its obligations under the Project Loan Documents.
4.9 Taxes. The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns
that are required to be filed, and has paid all taxes shown to be due and
payable on such returns or on any assessments made against the Borrower or the
Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on the Borrower or
the Property by any Governmental Authority (other than those taxes, the amount
or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently prosecuted and with respect to which prior notice has been given to
the Lender and reserves satisfactory to the Lender have been provided or a bond
satisfactory to the Lender has
15
been posted); and no tax Liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted
with respect to any such taxes, fees or other charges. The tax identification
number of Borrower is ▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

material respects and fairly present the financial conditions of their subjects
as of their respective dates, no material adverse change has occurred in the
financial conditions reflected since their respective dates and no additional
Indebtedness has been incurred by their subjects since the respective dates of
the latest statements, other than the borrowings contemplated by this Agreement
or other Indebtedness which has been approved by the Lender in writing. No such
financial statement or any certificate or statement furnished to the Lender by
or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and no representation or warranty in this Agreement, contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained in such financial
statements, certificates or other statements or this Agreement not misleading.
The Borrower is not a debtor under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding. The Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition by
it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation
of all or a major portion of Borrower's assets or property, and Borrower has no
knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against
it. The Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the incurrence of
the Project Loan, will not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out
its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not
intend to, and does not believe that it will, include the Project Loan and its
liabilities beyond its abilities to pay such Project Loan as it matures (taking
into account the timing and amounts of cash scheduled to be received by Borrower
pursuant to the Lease).
4.13 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Project Loan
will be used for "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" within the
respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation T, U or V of

time hereafter in effect. If requested by the Lender, the Borrower will furnish
to the Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the
requirements of FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U.
4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Borrower is not an
"investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company",
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Borrower is not subject to
16
regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than
Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) which
limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.
4.15 Environmental Matters. To the best of Borrower's knowledge and
except as set forth in the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of Borders

of every kind or nature required under this Agreement, and the other Operative
Agreements with the Collateral Trustee, in accordance with written instructions

pursuant to the Project Loan Note and the other Operative Agreements shall be
deposited.

satisfaction by the Borrower of its obligation to prepay the Project Loan
pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and to pay accrued interest and Prepayment Premium,
if any, on the Project Loan so prepaid pursuant to Section 3.2, the Property
shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, all without
delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. In addition,
upon payment in full of the Project Loan and all other amounts owing by the
Borrower hereunder or under any other Project Loan Document by the Borrower, the
Property shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, all
without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. Upon
request of the Borrower following any such release, the Lender shall, at the
sole cost and expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Borrower or
the Lessee such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence

privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Obligations, nor as a waiver
of any other right or remedy accruing to the Lender by reason of the occurrence
of any Event of Default. If the Overdue Rate is above the maximum rate permitted

recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such proceedings may
be brought in any trial or appellate state or federal court of competent
jurisdiction in the state in which the Property is located. By execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower accepts, generally and unconditionally,
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and irrevocably waives, and agrees
not to plead or claim, any objection that it may ever have to the venue of any
such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding
was brought in an inconvenient
36
court. The Borrower irrevocably agrees that all process in any proceeding or any
court arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other
Project Loan Documents, may be effected by mailing to the Borrower a copy by
registered or certified mail or any substantially similar form of mail, postage
prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in subsection 11.1 or at such
other address of which the Lender shall have been notified in accordance with
the terms of such subsection. Such service shall be effective five (5) days
after such mailing. Such service will be effective and binding service in every
respect. The Borrower shall not assert that such service did not constitute
effective and binding service within the meaning of any applicable state or
federal law, rule, regulation or the like. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by
law or shall limit the right to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction.
11.7 Captions. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of

11.8 Obligations Non-Recourse. Anything to the contrary contained in
this Project Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Note or in any other Project Loan
Document notwithstanding, neither the Borrower nor any member or partner of the
Borrower, nor any member, partner, officer, director or shareholder thereof, nor
any of their respective successors or assigns (all such Persons being
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Exculpated Persons"), shall be
personally liable in any respect for any representation, warranty, liability,
indemnities or obligation hereunder or in any other Project Loan Document
including the payment of the principal of, interest on or Prepayment Premium
with respect to the Project Loan Note, or for monetary damages for the breach of
performance of any of the covenants contained in the Project Loan Agreement, the
Project Loan Note, the Mortgage or any other Project Loan Document. The Lender
agrees that, in the event it pursues any remedies available to it under this
Project Loan Agreement, the Project Loan Note, the Assignment of Lease, the
Mortgage or under any other Project Loan Document, the Lender shall have no
recourse against the Borrower nor any Exculpated Person, for any deficiency,
loss or claim for monetary damages or otherwise resulting therefrom and recourse
shall be had solely and exclusively only against the Property; but nothing
contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse against or the enforcement
of remedies against the Property in respect of any and all liabilities,
obligations and undertakings contained in the Mortgage, this Project Loan
Agreement, the Project Loan Note, the Assignment of Lease or in any other
Project Loan Document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, nothing
in the Mortgage, the Assignment of Lease, this Project Loan Agreement, the
Project Loan Note or any other Project Loan Document shall: (a) constitute a
waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the
Project Loan Note or arising under the Mortgage or the Project Loan Agreement or
secured by the Mortgage, but the same shall continue until paid or discharged;
(b) relieve the Borrower from liability and responsibility for the following,
Borrower acknowledging its personal liability therefor in each case (but only to
the extent of the damages arising by reason of ): (i) active waste knowingly
committed by the Borrower with respect to the Property (ii) any fraud or
misrepresentation on the part of the Borrower or any such Exculpated Person;
(iii) any environmental matter affecting the Property which is introduced or
caused by Borrower or a Beneficial Owner; (iv) the failure of Borrower to
maintain its existence as a special purpose, "bankruptcy remote" entity in good
standing, subject to the cure rights set forth
37
in Section 10.1(c); (v) the failure of Borrower or any Beneficial Owner to
comply with the provisions of Section 6 hereof; (vi) misappropriation or
misapplication by the Borrower (i.e., application in a manner contrary to any of
the Project Loan Documents) of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award paid
or delivered to the Borrower by any Person other than the Lender; or (vii) any
rents or other income received by the Borrower from the Lessee that are not
turned over to the Lender in accordance with the Assignment of Lease; or (c)
affect or in any way limit the Lender's rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to the rights and powers assigned under the Assignment of Lease or to
obtain a judgment against the Borrower (provided that no deficiency judgment or
other money judgment shall be enforced against the Borrower except to the extent
of the Borrower's interest in the Property or to the extent the Borrower may be
liable as otherwise contemplated in clause (b) of this Section).
11.9 Attorneys' Fees. If the Lender or Collateral Trustee retains the
services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this
Agreement, or any portion thereof, the Borrower agrees to pay to Lender and/or
Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, all costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by them as a result
thereof and such costs, fees and expenses shall be included in the indebtedness
secured by the Mortgage.
11.10 Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall
arise each time the Lender acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified by the
Borrower under this Agreement. Separate and successive actions may be brought
hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to
time. No action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and the Borrower
hereby waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting
of causes of action or merger of judgments.
11.11 No Waiver; Time of Essence.. The failure of any party hereto to
enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or
remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof nor give rise to any estoppel
against such party nor excuse any of the parties hereto from their respective
obligations hereunder. Any waiver of such right or remedy must be in writing and
signed by the party to be bound. This Agreement is subject to enforcement at law
or in equity, including actions for damages or specific performance. Time is of
the essence of this Agreement.
11.12 Binding Effect; Term; Assignability. This Agreement shall be
binding upon the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
11.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter
shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and the
same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the
same signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from
any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal effect of any
signatures thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of this Agreement
identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more additional
signature pages.
38
11.14 Severability. Should any part of this Agreement for any reason be
declared invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining
portion, which remaining portion shall remain in full force and effect as if
this Agreement had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated and
it is hereby declared the intention of the parties hereto that they would have
executed the remaining portion of this Agreement without including therein any
such part, parts or portion which may, for any reason, be hereafter declared
invalid.
11.15 Survival. This Project Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be
continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and the liability
of Borrower under Section 11.8(b) shall survive payment of the indebtedness
secured by the Project Loan Documents and the exercise by Lender of any remedy
under the Mortgage or any of the other Project Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part
of such remedy, the Project Loan is paid or satisfied in full.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed by the Lender
and the Borrower as of the date first written above.
