THE TERM LOAN
2.1. Agreement to Lend. (a) Lender agrees, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, to make Advances of proceeds of the Term Loan to Borrower prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Maximum Term Loan Commitment. No portion of the principal of the Term Loan that is repaid prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date may be reborrowed. Borrower and Lender agree pursuant to Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code, that Chapter 346 (which relates to open-end line of credit revolving loan accounts) shall not apply to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Loans, and this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Loans shall not be governed by Chapter 346 or subject to its provisions in any manner whatsoever. Borrower understands and agrees that Lender IS NOT AND SHALL NEVER BE COMMITTED OR OBLIGATED IN ANY WAY TO MAKE ANY LOAN OR ANY ADVANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT or any related papers, and nothing contrary contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents or in any course of conduct shall obligate or be construed to obligate Lender to make, or shall entitle or be construed to entitle Borrower to receive, any Advance hereunder unless the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 hereof have been satisfied.
10
(b) Lender may, in Lender’s discretion, disburse proceeds of the Term Loan by journal entry to pay interest and financing costs and, if Lender should elect, disburse proceeds of the Term Loan directly to third parties to pay (or directly to Lender as reimbursement for Lender’s payment of) costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Proceeds of the Term Loan disbursed by Lender by journal entry to pay interest or financing costs, and proceeds of the Term Loan disbursed directly to third parties to pay (or to Lender as reimbursement for Lender’s payment of) costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute Advances to Borrower.
2.2. The Term Note and Security. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender the Term Note to evidence the Term Loan. Advances of proceeds of the Term Loan made under this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed and considered to have been made against the Term Note. Lender shall make an appropriate notation on its records reflecting each amount advanced against the Term Note and the date of the Advance. Such notations made by Lender in its records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Interest on the amounts of proceeds of the Term Loan advanced hereunder shall be computed on the amount of each Advance of proceeds of the Term Loan and from the date of each such Advance. Advances of the Term Loan shall be guaranteed by the Guaranty and secured by the Deed of Trust and the mortgages, liens, security interests and collateral assignments created or evidenced by the other Loan Documents.
2.3. Reason for Advances. The Term Loan is being made solely for the following purposes, and no other purposes: (i) to create a reserve (the “Interest Reserve”) to pay interest that accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note as and provided for in the Term Note (an Advance for such purposes being referred to hereunder as an “Interest Advance”); (ii) to pay any of the MMD Payments (an Advance for such purposes being referred to hereunder as a “MMD Advance”); and (iii) to pay ad valorem taxes on the Mortgaged Property (an Advance for such purposes being referred to hereunder as a “Tax Advance”). Under the Original Agreement, the purposes of the Term Loan also included the Refinance Advance and Working Capital Advances (as such terms were defined in the Original Agreement); however, the Refinance Advance was fully funded under the Original Agreement and the allocation in the Approved Budget for Working Capital Advances, as the same has been reduced under this Agreement, has been fully funded under the Original Agreement and consequently, Advances for the purposes of the Refinance Advance and Working Capital Advances may no longer be made under the Term Loan.
2.4. Term Loan Allocations; Approved Budget. The amounts available under the Term Loan for Advances for the purposes specified in Section 2.3 above shall be allocated as set forth in the Approved Budget. The allocations set forth in the Approved Budget may be modified from time upon Borrower’s request; provided, however, that any changes in the allocation for Interest Reserve requested by Borrower shall be made only if Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, approves the same. In no event shall the allocations for Interest Advances, Tax Advances or MMD Advances in any way limit or affect Borrower’s obligations to pay any interest on the Indebtedness, taxes affecting the Mortgaged Property or any obligations relating
11
to the MMD and to the extent proceeds from the Term Loan are not disbursed for, or are insufficient for, such purposes, Borrower shall pay such expenses with funds derived from sources other than the Loans.
2.5. Limitation on Advances. In no event shall any Advance under the Term Loan be made if such Advance, together with all prior Advances (whether or not repaid) under the Term Loan, would exceed the Maximum Term Loan Commitment.
2.6. Term of Term Loan. The term of the Term Loan shall be 36 months from the date of the Original Agreement, unless Borrower exercises a right to extend the Term Loan Maturity Date as provided in Section 2.7 below. In addition to any earlier payments as may be required by this Agreement or other Loan Documents, the entire outstanding balance of the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
2.7. Extension of Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall have two successive options to extend the Term Loan Maturity Date for two successive periods of 12 months each upon and subject to the following conditions:
(a) Borrower must (i) give written notice to Lender of such election to extend the Maturity Date at least 30 days prior to the then Term Loan Maturity Date, and (ii) pay to Lender an Extension Fee prior to the then Term Loan Maturity Date.
(b) Borrower shall make an Extension Prepayment at the time of such written notice; provided, however, that (i) the amount of the Extension Prepayment due with respect to the first extension option shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any Partial Release Prices received by Lender during months 25-36 of the term of the Term Loan which was applied to the principal balance of the Term Note; and (ii) the amount of the Extension Prepayment due with respect to the second extension option shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any Partial Release Prices received by Lender during months 37-48 of the term of the Term Loan which was applied to the principal balance of the Term Note.
(c) The Loan to Value Ratio at the time the first extension option is exercised must be equal to or less than 50%; and the Loan to Value Ratio at the time the second extension option is exercised must be equal to or less than 45%.
(d) No Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred, including without limitation, any material adverse change to the market condition or value of the Mortgaged Property.
(e) At Lender’s option, Lender may require a current appraisal of the Mortgaged Property and, if required, Borrower will pay the Appraisal Fee therefore prior to the then Term Loan Maturity Date.
(f) No Default or Event of Default shall then exist and be continuing.
(g) The amount of the undisbursed proceeds of the Term Loan allocated for Interest Reserve in the Approved Budget, together with any amounts held in the Borrower’s Reserve for interest on the Term Loan, shall be adequate, in Lender’s sole
12
discretion, to pay the interest anticipated to accrue during the remainder of the term of the Term Loan, as so extended.
2.8. Interest Rate Reductions. Borrower shall have the right to reduce the “Stated Rate” under the Term Note from time to time subject to and upon the following conditions:
(a) The Stated Rate shall be reduced by 0.25% for each Principal Reduction Increment together with a Qualified Loan to Value Reduction; provided, however, in no event shall (i) the Stated Rate ever be less than zero; or (ii) the Stated Rate on the Prime Rate Balance (as defined in the Term Note) ever be less than the Prime Rate minus 0.75% or (iii) the Stated Rate on any Eurodollar Balance ever be less than the applicable Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Note) plus 2%.
(b) Any decrease in Stated Rate shall take effect five Business Days after Borrower delivers an Interest Notice (as defined in the Term Note) to Lender, which Interest Notice includes a written request for such reduction unless Lender determines and notifies Borrower within such five Business Day period that the conditions for such reduction set forth in this provision have not been satisfied.
2.9. Required Principal Payment. Borrower shall make the Required Principal Payment on or prior to the last day of the 24th month of the term of the Term Loan; provided, however that (i) the amount of the Required Principal Payment due shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any Partial Release Prices received by Lender during the first 24 months of the term of the Term Loan which was applied to the principal balance of the Term Note, and (ii) if necessary, the Required Principal Payment due shall be increased so that the Loan to Value Ratio is equal to or less than 55%.
2.10. Mandatory Prepayments – Loan Balancing. To the extent, for whatever reason, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note should ever exceed the Maximum Term Loan Commitment, Borrower shall immediately prepay principal on the Term Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest on such principal, in an amount equal to the excess.
2.11. Appraisals. Lender may obtain from time to time, at Borrower’s expense (but no more frequently than annually), current appraisals of the Mortgaged Property or other collateral for the Loans to verify that the value of the Mortgaged Property or such other collateral is no less than that originally approved by Lender. If the Loan to Value Ratio decreases as a result of any such appraisals obtained by Lender, Borrower shall have the right, at Borrower’s expense, to obtain its own appraisal prepared by another appraiser acceptable to Lender and, for purposes of the determination of the then Loan to Value Ratio, the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property shall be the average of the most current appraisal obtained by Lender and the appraisal obtained by Borrower as provided in this sentence.
ARTICLE III.
REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
3.1. Agreement to Lend. (a) Lender agrees, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, to make Advances of proceeds of the Revolving Line of Credit to Borrower prior to the RLOC Maturity Date. The aggregate amount of Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the Maximum RLOC Commitment. All of such Advances shall be
13
evidenced by the Revolver Note, under which Advances and repayments may be made subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, any portion of the principal of the Revolving Line of Credit that is repaid prior to the RLOC Maturity Date may be reborrowed prior to the RLOC Maturity Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The amount of funds available under the Revolving Line of Credit at any time prior to the RLOC Maturity Date subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be determined by subtracting the amount of all outstanding Advances which have been made under the Revolving Line of Credit as of the date of determination from the Maximum RLOC Commitment. Borrower and Lender agree pursuant to Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code, that Chapter 346 (which relates to open-end line of credit revolving loan accounts) shall not apply to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Loans and this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Loans shall not be governed by Chapter 346 or subject to its provisions in any manner whatsoever. Borrower understands and agrees that Lender IS NOT AND SHALL NEVER BE COMMITTED OR OBLIGATED IN ANY WAY TO MAKE ANY LOAN OR ANY ADVANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT or any related papers, and nothing contrary contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents or in any course of conduct shall obligate or be construed to obligate Lender to make, or shall entitle or be construed to entitle Borrower to receive, any Advance hereunder unless the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 hereof have been satisfied.
(b) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, will make the decision as to whether any Advances under the Revolving Line of Credit shall be made hereunder and what terms, conditions, and special stipulations, in addition to the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, will be required. Borrower has no right and hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any right that it might now or hereafter have, to demand Lender to make any Advance under the Revolving Line of Credit.
(c) Lender may, in Lender’s discretion, disburse proceeds of the Revolving Line of Credit by journal entry to pay interest and financing costs and, if Lender should elect, disburse proceeds of the Revolving Line of Credit directly to third parties to pay (or directly to Lender as reimbursement for Lender’s payment of) costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Proceeds of the Revolving Line of Credit disbursed by Lender by journal entry to pay interest or financing costs, and proceeds of the Revolving Line of Credit disbursed directly to third parties to pay (or to Lender as reimbursement for Lender’s payment of) costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute Advances to Borrower.
3.2. The Revolver Note and Security. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender the Revolver Note to evidence the Revolving Line of Credit. Advances of proceeds of the Revolving Line of Credit made under this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed and considered to have been made against the Revolver Note. Lender shall make an appropriate notation on its records reflecting each amount advanced against the Revolver Note and the date of the Advance. Such notations made by Lender in its records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Revolving Line of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Interest on the amounts of proceeds of the Revolving Line of Credit advanced hereunder shall be computed on the amount
14
of each Advance of proceeds of the Revolving Line of Credit and from the date of each such Advance. Advances of the Revolving Line of Credit shall be guaranteed by the Guaranty and secured by the Deed of Trust and the mortgages, liens, security interests and collateral assignments created or evidenced by the other Loan Documents.
3.3. Reason for Advances. The Revolving Line of Credit is being made solely for the following purposes, and no other purposes: (i) to make the Term Loan Repayment concurrently with the execution of this Agreement; (ii) to pay leasing commissions, soft costs and similar pre-construction expenses relating to the Frisco Square Property which are expected to be reimbursed from construction financing or other sources; and (iii) such other purposes as may be approved by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.
3.4. Limitation on Advances. In no event shall any Advance of the Revolving Line of Credit be made if such Advance, together with all prior Advances under the Revolving Line of Credit which have not been repaid, would exceed the Maximum RLOC Commitment.
3.5. Term of Revolving Line of Credit. The term of the Revolving Line of Credit shall be 12 months from the date of this Agreement. In addition to any earlier payments as may be required by this Agreement or other Loan Documents, the entire outstanding balance of the Revolving Line of Credit shall be due and payable in full on the RLOC Maturity Date.
3.6. Mandatory Prepayments – Loan Balancing. To the extent, for whatever reason, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver Note should ever exceed the Maximum RLOC Commitment, Borrower shall immediately prepay principal on the Revolver Note, together with accrued but unpaid interest on such principal, in an amount equal to the excess.

15

4.3. Application

Borrower to Lender of an Application for Advance shall be deemed to constitute
a representation and warranty by Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters
specified in
Section 4.2(b) and (d) and that each of the conditions in Sections
4.1 and 4.2 shall have been satisfied.
4.4. Advance Not A Waiver. No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make further Advances, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default.
4.5. Borrower’s Reserve. At any time or from time to time, Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to request Borrower to deposit with Lender (the “Borrower’s Reserve”) such additional funds as Lender deems necessary or advisable to pay all or a portion of the ad valorem taxes, insurance premiums, and other impositions affecting the Mortgaged Property, the MMD Payments, and/or interest on the Loans. Borrower agrees upon 15 days written demand by Lender to deposit with Lender any such funds required by Lender to be deposited into Borrower’s Reserve; and Lender may refuse to make any additional Advances to Borrower hereunder until Borrower shall have deposited such funds with Lender. Any funds in the Borrower’s Reserve will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the terms and
16
conditions hereof as if they constituted a portion of the Loans being made hereunder. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole discretion, to apply any or all of the Borrower’s Reserve in payment of such ad valorem taxes, insurance premiums, and other impositions or toward payment of the Indebtedness in such manner and order of priority as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect.

4.6. Advance Not An Approval. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance or part thereof after the happening of any Default or any Event of Default, but shall have the right and option so to do; provided that if Lender elects to make any such Advance, no such Advance shall be deemed to be either a waiver of the Default or Event of Default or any right or remedy available to Lender, including, without limitation, the right to demand payment of the Loans, or any part thereof, or the right to withhold any future Advance.
4.7. Time and Place of Advances. All Advances are to be made at the office of Lender, or at such other place as Lender may designate. Borrower shall submit an Application for Advance to Lender at least seven Business Days’ prior to the date on which the requested Advance is to be made. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all Advances are to be made by direct deposit into the Special Account.
4.8. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party, nor shall this Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any materialmen, subcontractors, contractors, laborers or others for goods and materials supplied or work and labor furnished to the Mortgaged Property or for debts or claims accruing to any such persons or entities against Borrower. Lender shall not be liable for the manner in which any Advances under this Agreement may be applied by Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties hereto, before or after signing the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any rights, claims or causes of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier of labor or materials, or any of their respective creditors, or any other Person other than Borrower.

(p) Lender’s notice to Borrower that Lender has discovered information that gives Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, cause to believe that a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.
(q) Any Obligor fails to pay when due any amount which he or it is liable to pay to the PBGC or its successor or to any pension plan (“Plan”), or notice of intent to terminate any Plan is filed under ERISA, or PBGC commences proceedings under ERISA to terminate any Plan or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any Plan, or a proceeding is commenced by any fiduciary of any Plan to enforce Section 515 or Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA, or PBGC becomes entitled to obtain a decree adjudicating that any Plan must be terminated.
(r) Any individual Guarantor dies and his or her estate or a substantial part of such estate is distributed by the executor or administrator thereof to his or her heirs or in accordance with such Guarantor’s will prior to (i) all the distributees of such estate or part thereof (by an instrument approved in form and substance by Lender) either (A) jointly and severally assuming all of such deceased Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents, or (B) effectively pledging, mortgaging or otherwise creating a first lien (but without any personal liability on such distributees’ part) on a portion of the assets of such estate previously approved by Lender and valued by a qualified appraiser approved by Lender at not less than the amount of the Indebtedness then outstanding as additional security for the Indebtedness or (ii) a substitute Guarantor satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, executes a Guaranty in form acceptable to Lender within 60 days after such death, or any individual Obligor becomes legally incompetent, unless a substitute Guarantor satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, executes a Guaranty in form acceptable to Lender within 60 days after such death.
8.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and at any time thereafter, Lender shall have the right, at its option, (1) to cease making Advances, (2) to declare the unpaid balance of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes to be immediately due and payable without further notice (including notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration), protest or demand or presentment for payment, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and (3) to enforce or avail itself of any and all powers, rights and remedies available at law or provided in this Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other document executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith.
8.3. Late Charge. If any payment required under the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is not paid within ten days after the date due, Lender may, at its option, assess a late charge for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) an amount which, when added to all other
30
amounts hereunder which are interest or are deemed to be interest under applicable state or federal law, does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate or (ii) 5% of the amount of any such delinquent payment so overdue. Such late charge represents the reasonable estimate of Lender and Borrower of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender (i) to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or (ii) to declare a default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
ARTICLE IX.
PARTIAL RELEASES
9.1. Conditions of Partial Releases. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower will have the option from time to time to require Lender to execute a partial release of the lien of the Deed of Trust as to a Release Parcel designated by Borrower upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Borrower may exercise such option by delivering to Lender a Partial Release Notice not less than ten (10) days prior to the date Borrower desires such Release Parcel to be released. In each case Lender’s obligation to release any Release Parcel pursuant to this provision will be subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) If the Release Parcel is being released for construction, Borrower will provide to Lender such evidence as Lender shall require that Borrower has obtained construction financing or other source of funds adequate to pay for the construction contemplated.
(b) If the Release Parcel is to be released for a sale, Borrower must be selling the Release Parcel contemporaneously with the release to a third party purchaser pursuant to an arms length sale for a cash purchase price and such other consideration as Borrower shall have disclosed to Lender. Borrower shall deliver a true, complete and correct copy of the contract for sale and any and all amendments thereto.
(c) As a condition to the release of a Release Parcel, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Partial Release Price for such Release Parcel on or prior to the date such Release Parcel is to be released from the Deed of Trust. The Partial Release Price for each Release Parcel shall be determined by Lender using the allocations of Initial Appraised Value set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. If Borrower designates a Release Parcel to be released from the lien of the Deed of Trust which does not clearly correspond to one of the nine parcels of the Mortgaged Property which is separately identified in the Initial Appraisal and listed in Exhibit B can “Appraisal Parcel”) then Lender will determine the Initial Appraised Value of such Release Parcel by multiplying the applicable Initial Appraised Value per square foot times the number of square feet in such Release Parcel contained within an applicable Appraisal Parcel(s). Any such determination of the Initial Appraised Value of a particular Release Parcel by Lender will, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower for purposes of these partial release provisions.
31
(d) The Partial Release Price shall be in addition to any other payments against the Loans required or made prior to the release of a Release Parcel for construction. In addition to the Partial Release Price, Borrower shall, on or before the effective date of the partial release, pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such partial release, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, recording fees and any title policy endorsement fees.
(e) The Release Parcel must be a portion of the Land which can be sold under applicable Governmental Requirements separate and apart from the remainder of the Mortgaged Property. Also, Borrower or its predecessors in interest must have executed and recorded such reciprocal easements and restrictions relating to the Release Parcel and the remainder of the Mortgaged Property as are necessary or reasonably required in the judgment of Lender to preserve the utility and value of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property after the release of the Release Parcel.
(f) If the Release Parcel does not consist of the entirety of one or more of the Appraised Parcels, Lender must be satisfied that the value of the remainder of the applicable Appraised Parcel(s) will not be significantly less than the Initial Appraised Value of the Appraised Parcels of which the Release Parcel is a part and the remainder of the Mortgaged Property considered together as a whole, by reason of the size, location or configuration of such Release Parcel in relation to the remainder of the applicable Appraisal Parcels and/or the Mortgaged Property.
(g) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a survey of the Release Parcel and a survey of the remainder of the Applicable Parcel(s) of which such Release Parcel is a part.
(h) Lender must be satisfied that the proposed development of the Release Parcel will not adversely affect future development of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
(i) It is also understood that all of the foregoing conditions are for the benefit of Lender only, and any delivery by Lender of any partial release will not be construed as confirmation or an admission by Lender that all such conditions have been satisfied. Further, Lender may waive any such condition as to any requested partial release without waiving the same condition as to other requested partial releases. In no event will Lender be liable for any determination it may make in good faith as to whether any of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied, and in connection with any such determination, Borrower must provide to Lender any reasonably requested information or documentation which may be relevant.
(j) In any event, all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses incurred by Lender because of any determination made or action taken pursuant to these partial release provisions will be covered by the indemnification set forth in Section 10.3 of this Agreement. Further, for purposes of such indemnification, any action taken by Lender will be deemed to have been made at the request of Borrower if made pursuant to any request of Borrower’s counsel or of any officer of Borrower (or with their knowledge, and without their objection) in connection
32
with the execution of any partial release delivered pursuant to these provisions or any closing of any applicable sale or construction financing.
9.2. Application of Partial Release Price. Lender shall apply the Partial Release Price first to any amounts owed by Borrower under Section 9.1(d) above; then Lender shall apply 90% of the balance of such Partial Release Price to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note and the remaining 10% of the balance of the Partial Release Price shall, at Lender’s sole discretion, either be applied by Lender to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note, deposited by Lender into the Borrower’s Reserve to be utilized for interest on the Term Loan or applied by Lender to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver Note or deposited by Lender into the Borrower’s Reserve to be utilized for interest on the Revolver Note.
ARTICLE X.
MISCELLANEOUS
10.1. No Obligation by Lender to Construct. Lender has no liability or obligation whatsoever or howsoever in connection with the Mortgaged Property or the development, construction or completion thereof or work performed thereon, and has no obligation except to disburse the proceeds of the Loans as herein agreed, Lender is not obligated to inspect the work in progress nor is Lender liable, and under no circumstances whatsoever shall Lender be or become liable, for the performance or default of any contractor or subcontractor, or, for any failure to construct, complete, protect or insure the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or for the payment of any cost or expense incurred in connection therewith, or for the performance or nonperformance of any obligation of any Obligor to Lender nor to any other Person without limitation. Nothing, including without limitation any disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans or the Borrower’s Reserve nor acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as such a representation or warranty, express or implied, on Lender’s part.
10.2. No Obligation by Lender to Operate. Any term or condition of any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, notwithstanding, Lender shall not have, and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement hereby expressly disclaims, any obligation or responsibility for the management, conduct or operation of the business and affairs of any Obligor. Any term or condition of the Loan Documents which permits Lender to disburse funds, whether from the proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower’s Reserve or otherwise, or to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to any Obligor, the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral for repayment of the Loans, shall be deemed to be solely to permit Lender to audit and review the management, operation and conduct of the business and affairs of such Obligors, and to maintain and preserve the security given by Borrower to Lender for the Loans, and may not be relied upon by any other Person. Further, Lender shall not have, has not assumed and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for the payment or performance of any indebtedness or obligation of any Obligor and no term or condition of the Loan Documents, shall be construed otherwise. Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges that no term or condition of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Obligors and Lender to be other than that of borrower, guarantors and lender, and Borrower shall at all times represent that the relationship between Obligors and Lender is solely that of borrower, guarantors and lender.
33
10.3. Expenses.
(a) Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Lender, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all Environmental Claims and any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Party, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the matters referenced in subsection (a) of this Section or the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder; (ii) the Loan Documents, the Loans or the use of the proceeds of the Loans; or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or violation of applicable law by, such Indemnified Party. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY INDEMNIFIES EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FROM ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE.
(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, either Loan or the use of the proceeds of the Loans.
(d) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor.
10.4. Waivers; Amendments. No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have at law or in equity. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
34
shall be in a writing executed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Lender.
10.5. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Joint and Several. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Lender and when Lender shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Each Person constituting Borrower shall be bound jointly and severally with one another to make, keep, observe and perform the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities imposed by this Agreement upon the “Borrower.”
10.6. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.7. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Lender or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by Lender and then due and payable. The rights of Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender may have.
10.8. No Agency. Nothing herein shall be construed as making or constituting Lender as the agent of Borrower in making any payments to third parties pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.
10.9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Borrower and Lender, and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.
10.10. Survival. The provisions hereof shall survive the execution of all instruments herein mentioned, shall continue in full force and effect until the Loans have been paid in full and shall not be affected by any investigation made by any party.
10.11. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
35
(b) Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the district courts of Dallas County, Texas, and of the United States District Court of the Northern District of Texas (Dallas Division), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such State, or to the extent permitted by law in such Federal, court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.12. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
10.12. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given if (i) mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested; (ii) by delivering same in person to the intended addressee; or (iii) by delivery to an independent third party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery and providing for evidence of receipt at the office of the intended addressee. Notice so mailed shall be effective upon its deposit with the United States Postage Service or any successor thereto; notice sent by a commercial delivery service shall be effective upon delivery to such commercial delivery service; notice given by personal delivery shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee; and notice given by other means shall be effective only if and when received at the designated address of the intended addressee. For purposes of notice, the addresses of the parties shall be as set forth on page 1 of this Agreement; provided, however, that either party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of 30 days notice to the other party in the manner set forth herein.
10.13. Reliance by Lender. Lender is relying and is entitled to rely upon each and all of the provisions of this Agreement; and accordingly, if any provision or provisions of this Agreement should be held to be invalid or ineffective, then all other provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding.
36
10.14. Participations. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to grant participations in the Loans and Loan Documents. Each participant shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender regarding the creditworthiness of any Obligor and any Constituent Party, including (without limitation) information required to be disclosed to a participant pursuant to Banking Circular 181 (Rev., August 2, 1984), issued by the Comptroller of the Currency (whether the participant is subject to the circular or not). Lender agrees to notify Borrower of any such participation interests sold by Lender and the name and address of such participant.
10.15. Usury
Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, it
is expressly provided that in no case or event shall the aggregate of (a) all
interest on the unpaid balance of the Notes, accrued or paid from the date
hereof and (b) the aggregate of any other amounts accrued or paid pursuant to
the Notes, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents, which under
applicable laws are or may be deemed to constitute interest upon the
Indebtedness from the date hereof, ever exceed the maximum rate of interest which
could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received on the unpaid principal
balance of the Indebtedness. In this connection, it is expressly stipulated and
agreed that it is the intent of Borrower and Lender to contract in strict
compliance with the applicable usury laws of the Xxxxx xx Xxxxx xxx xx xxx
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx (whichever permit the higher rate of interest) from time to time
in effect. In furtherance thereof, none of the terms of this Agreement, the
Notes, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents shall ever be
construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use,
forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Highest
Lawful Rate. Obligors or other Persons now or hereafter becoming liable for
payment of the Indebtedness shall never be liable for interest in excess of the
Highest Lawful Rate. If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid on
the Indebtedness include amounts which by law are deemed interest which would
exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, Borrower stipulates that such amounts will be
deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on the part of both Borrower
and Lender, and the Person receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon
discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Person making such
payment, refund the amount of such excess or, at Lender’s option, credit such
excess against the unpaid principal balance of the Indebtedness. In addition,
all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder or holders of the Indebtedness
for the use, forbearance, or detention of money shall, to the extent required
to avoid or minimize usury and to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the
Indebtedness so that the interest rate does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.
The provisions of this Section shall control all agreements, whether now or
hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between Borrower and Lender.
10.16. Controlling Document. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
10.17. Waiver Of Right To Trial By Jury. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTS OR FAILURE TO ACT OF OR BY LENDER IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
37
10.18. Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS INSTRUMENT MAY BE AMENDED ONLY BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING EXECUTED BY THE PARTIES HERETO.
10.19. Restatement. This Agreement is intended to and does completely amend and restate, without novation, the Original Agreement in its entirety. All Liens and security interests existing by virtue of the Original Agreement are hereby confirmed and ratified and shall continue to secure all obligations under this Agreement, but the terms and provisions of such Liens and security interests shall hereafter be governed in all respects by this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
