This
Construction Loan Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 12th day of
December, 2005, by and between ASF of Green Hills, LLC, a Tennessee non-profit
limited liability company (“Borrower”), and American Retirement Corporation, a
Tennessee corporation, its successors and assigns (collectively, the
“Lender”).
Recitals
Borrower
has applied to Lender for a loan to finance certain costs related to
the
construction and development of improvements on real property in which
Borrower
has acquired or is acquiring an interest from Lender. Lender has agreed
to make
the portion of the loan evidenced by the Senior Note from the proceeds
of a
second loan being obtained by Lender from Bank of America, N.A. (the
"Bank of
America Loan"). This loan will be made and disbursed on the terms and
conditions
set forth in this Agreement and in the other documents evidencing and
securing
the loan, and will be pledged by Lender as collateral for the Bank of
America
Loan.
Now,
therefore, in consideration of the premises, and in further consideration
of the
mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and of the sum of Ten
Dollars
($10.00) paid by each party to the other, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

Advances
of the Loan.
Section
2.1 The
Loan.
Borrower
agrees to borrow the Loan from Lender, and Lender agrees to lend the
Loan to
Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, in incremental
advances which will not exceed, in the aggregate, the Loan Amount. Interest

Section
2.2 Purpose;
Reallocation; Revenues from Property.
The
Loan
shall be advanced by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
to
pay those expenses related to the Loan and the Property that are described
in
the Budget, but not, in the aggregate with respect to any line item set
forth in
the Budget, in excess of the amount of the Loan to be disbursed for such
line
item, as set forth in the Budget. Borrower will receive each advance
in trust
for the purpose of paying only those costs for which the advance is made
and
will utilize the funds advanced for no other purpose. With the prior
approval of
Lender, any cost savings, actual or estimated, affecting any approved
line item
within the Budget, other than the interest reserve, may be reallocated
by
Borrower to any other line item within the Budget. Upon completion of
the
Improvements and the payment of all costs in connection therewith, any
undisbursed proceeds of the Loan shall be allocated to the interest reserve
or
to such other line item as Lender shall approve. Each disbursement from
a
contingency reserve shall be subject to approval by Lender as to the
amount and
purpose for which such disbursement will be used. If and when Available
Revenues
are sufficient to pay all or any portion of the interest on the Loan,
Borrower
shall apply the same to pay such interest in the order hereinafter set
forth,
and Lender, at its sole option, may restrict or prohibit future disbursements
of
the Loan for such purposes to the extent that Available Revenues are
sufficient
to pay such amounts. Subject to any applicable limitations set forth
in the
Note, Borrower shall apply Available Revenues to pay the following items
in the
following order: (a) Current Interest accrued in respect of the indebtedness
evidenced by the Senior Note at the Base Rate, (b) Accumulated Interest
accrued
in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by the Senior Note at the Base
Rate,
(c) at Borrower's election, Restricted Payments permitted by Section
5.9(c)
of this
Agreement, (d) Current Interest accrued in respect of the indebtedness
evidenced
by the Senior Note at the Spread Rate, (e) Current Interest accrued in
respect of the indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Note, (f) at
Borrower's election, Restricted Payments permitted by Section
5.9(d)
of this
Agreement, (g) Accumulated
Interest accrued in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by the Senior
Note at
the Spread Rate, and (h) Accumulated
Interest accrued in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated

Lender the amounts expended and/or costs incurred for work done and materials
incorporated in the Improvements. Retainage will be withheld and released

(such as

as Lender
may require to assure that amounts requested are to be used to reimburse
Borrower for costs previously paid by Borrower or to pay costs incurred
by
Borrower that are to be paid from proceeds of the Loan, as set forth
in the
Budget. Unless reasonably requested by Lender in any instance, Borrower
will not
be required to provide any individual invoice for an amount less than
or equal
to $5,000.00 in support of a draw request; provided, Borrower shall provide
or
cause to be provided with each draw request a complete listing of all
payees and
the amounts requested for payment by each.

Covenants and Agreements.
Section
4.1 Commencement
and Completion of Construction.
Borrower
shall cause the Construction of the Improvements to be commenced and
prosecuted
in a good and workmanlike manner and shall cause the same to be completed
in
accordance with the Project Schedule and substantially in accordance
with the
Plans and Specifications.
Section
4.2 Approval
of Construction.
No
work
associated with the Construction of the Improvements shall be commenced
by
Borrower unless and until the Plans and Specifications have been approved
by
Lender, by all Governmental Authorities having or claiming jurisdiction
over the
Land and Improvements, by the beneficiary of any applicable restrictive
covenant
whose approval is required, and by any other party whose approval is
required
under applicable agreements, and unless and until all building, construction
and
other permits necessary or required in connection with the Construction
of the
Improvements have been validly issued and all fees, bonds and any other
security
required in connection therewith have been paid or posted.
Section
4.3 Deposits
to Balance Loan.
If
at any
time Lender shall determine that (a) the proceeds of the Loan remaining
to be
advanced for any line item within the Budget, together with any anticipated
Deferred Equity that Lender determines to its satisfaction is or will
be
available for such item, are not or will not be sufficient to pay, in
a timely
manner, the amount of such line item remaining to be paid, and (b) the
deficiency cannot be remedied by a reallocation of budgeted amounts pursuant
to
Section
2.2,
then
Borrower shall deposit with Lender, within ten (10) days from the effective
date
of a Notice from Lender requesting such deposit, funds in an amount equal
to the
deficiency. Such funds shall be held by Lender in a Borrower’s Deposit Account,
which shall be an interest-bearing account at Bank of America, N.A.,
with all
accrued interest to become part of Borrower’s deposit. Borrower agrees that it
shall include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income
(and,
if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income
of its
partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be
the owner
of all funds on deposit in the Borrower’s Deposit Account for federal and
applicable state and local tax purposes. Lender shall have the exclusive
right
to manage and control all funds in the Borrower’s Deposit Account, but Lender
shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Advances of
the
deposited funds will be made from time to time for the payment of deficient
line
item amounts, prior to the advance of proceeds of the Loan for such amounts.
Advances of the deposited funds will be subject to the terms of this
Agreement
regarding advances of the Loan. Any account fees and charges may be deducted
from the balance, if any, in the Borrower’s Deposit Account. Borrower grants to
Lender a security interest in the Borrower’s Deposit Account and all such
deposited funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any
proceeds
thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall
be
governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, and Lender shall
have
available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured
party
thereunder. The Borrower’s Deposit Account may be established and held in such
name or names as Lender shall deem appropriate, including in the name
of Lender.
Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent
of
Lender (including Bank of America, N.A. and its officers as agents and
attorneys-in-fact for Lender so long as the Bank of America Loan is outstanding)
its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution
to open
the Borrower’s Deposit Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might
do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section
4.3.
To the
extent permitted by Law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys
shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and
agreed
that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled
with an
interest, cannot be revoked.

the land
of others. Construction of the Improvements shall occur wholly within
all
applicable building restriction lines and set-backs, however established,

materials as well as all records and books of account maintained by or
on behalf
of Borrower relating thereto and to discuss the affairs, finances and

pertaining to the Loan and the Improvements with representatives of Borrower.
Borrower shall at all times cooperate and cause the General Contractor
and each
and every one of its subcontractors and material suppliers to cooperate
with the

this
Section.
Section

or other
agreements relating to the Construction of the Improvements, including
any such
items pursuant to which Borrower has any claim of title to any materials,
fixtures or other articles delivered or to be delivered to the Land or
incorporated or to be incorporated into the Improvements. Borrower shall
furnish

statement, in such form and detail as Lender may require, setting forth
the
names and addresses of all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers
furnishing
labor or materials in the Construction of the Improvements and showing

of the
Improvements. Within thirty (30) days after the filing of any mechanic’s lien or
other lien or encumbrance against the Property, Borrower will promptly
discharge
the same by payment or filing a bond or otherwise as permitted by Law.
So long
as Lender’s security has been protected by the filing of a bond or otherwise in
a manner satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion,
Borrower
shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, lien or encumbrance,
provided that Borrower does so diligently and without prejudice to Lender
or
delay in completing Construction of the Improvements.
Section
4.8 Correction
of Construction Defects.
Promptly
following any demand by Lender, Borrower shall correct or cause the correction
of any structural defects in the Improvements, any work that fails to

Section
4.9 Insurance.
Borrower
shall maintain the following insurance at its sole cost and
expense:
(a) Insurance
against Casualty to the Property under a policy or policies covering
such risks
as are presently included in “special form” (also known as “all risk”) coverage,
including such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses,
but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion,
riot,
riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke,
vandalism, malicious mischief and acts of terrorism. Such insurance shall
name
both Lender and Bank of America, N.A. as mortgagees and loss payees.
Unless
otherwise agreed in writing by Lender, such insurance shall be for the
full
insurable value of the Property, with a deductible amount, if any, satisfactory
to Lender. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds
thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this
Section by
reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full insurable value”
means one hundred percent (100%) of the actual replacement cost of the
Property
(excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues,
pipes, drains and other uninsurable items).
(b) Comprehensive
(also known as commercial) general liability insurance on an “occurrence” basis
against claims for “personal injury” liability and liability for death, bodily
injury and damage to property, products and completed operations, in
limits
satisfactory to Lender with respect to any one occurrence and the aggregate
of
all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance
shall name
Lender and Bank of America, N.A. as an additional insured.
(c) Workers’
compensation insurance for all employees of Borrower in such amount as
is
required by Law and including employer’s liability insurance, if required by
Lender.
(d) During
any
period of construction upon the Property, Borrower shall maintain, or
cause
others to maintain, builder’s risk insurance (non-reporting form) of the type
customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred
percent
(100%) of the full replacement cost of work in place and materials stored
at or
upon the Property.
(e) If
at any
time any portion of any structure on the Property is insurable against
Casualty
by flood and is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area under the Flood
Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, a flood insurance policy in form
and amount
acceptable to Lender but in no amount less than the amount sufficient
to meet
the requirements of applicable Law as such requirements may from time
to time be
in effect.
(f) Loss
of
rental value insurance or business interruption insurance in an amount
acceptable to Lender.
(g) Such
other
and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Lender
and/or Bank
of America, N.A. in order to comply with regular requirements and practices
of
Lender and/or Bank of America, N.A. in similar transactions including,
if
required, wind insurance and earthquake insurance, so long as any such
insurance
is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums as determined
by
Lender and/or Bank of America, N.A. from time to time.
In
addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall cause the General Contractor
to
provide and maintain comprehensive (commercial) general liability insurance
and
workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of the General Contractor
meeting, respectively, the requirements of Subsections
(b) and (c),
above.
PAGE

Each
policy of insurance (i) shall be issued by one or more insurance companies
each
of which must have an A.M. Best Company financial and performance rating
of A-IX
or better and are qualified or authorized by the Laws of the State to
assume the
risks covered by such policy, (ii) with respect to the insurance described
under
the preceding Subsections
(a), (d), (e) and (f),
shall
have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee
clauses
in favor of and entitling Lender without contribution to collect any
and all
proceeds payable under such insurance, either as sole payee or as joint
payee
with Borrower, (iii) shall provide that such policy shall not be canceled
or
modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender,
and
(iv) shall provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be
payable
notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might, absent
such
agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance
payment.
Borrower shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and,
not
less than thirty (30)
days
prior to
the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver to Lender
acceptable evidence of insurance, such as a renewal policy or policies
marked
“premium paid” or other evidence satisfactory to Lender reflecting that all
required insurance is current and in force. Borrower will immediately
give
Notice to Lender and Bank of America, N.A. of any cancellation of, or
change in,
any insurance policy. Lender shall not, because of accepting, rejecting,
approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (A) the existence,
nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (B) the solvency of
any
insurer, or (C) the payment of losses. Borrower may satisfy any insurance
requirement hereunder by providing one or more “blanket” insurance policies,
subject to Lender’s approval in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms,
deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation
provisions.
Section
4.10 Adjustment
of Condemnation and Insurance Claims.
Borrower
shall give prompt Notice to both Lender and Bank of America, N.A. of
any
Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened Condemnation. Lender, and/or
Bank of
America, N.A. so long as the Bank of America Loan is outstanding, is
authorized,
at their sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute,
in
their own respective names or in Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding
relating to any Condemnation or Casualty, and to make proof of loss for
and to
settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith. In such case,
Lender
and/or Bank of America, N.A. shall have the right to receive all Condemnation
Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom any or all of
their
respective Expenses. However, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and
Borrower is diligently pursuing its rights and remedies with respect
to a Claim,
Lender will obtain Borrower’s written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) before making proof of loss for or
settling or
compromising such Claim. Borrower agrees to diligently assert its rights
and
remedies with respect to each Claim and to promptly pursue the settlement
and
compromise of each Claim subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Lender
of any
Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, the Property shall have been
sold
pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage, Lender shall have the right
to
receive such funds (a) to the extent of any deficiency found to be due
upon such
sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Mortgage
shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) to the extent
necessary
to reimburse Lender for its Expenses. If any Condemnation Awards or Insurance
Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower shall receive the same in trust
for
Lender. Within ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt of any Condemnation Awards
or Insurance Proceeds, Borrower shall deliver such awards or proceeds
to Lender
in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements
or
documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer
the same to
Lender. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon
the
request of Lender and/or Bank of America, N.A., such further instruments
or
documents as may be requested by either of them to confirm the grant
and
assignment of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.
Section
4.11 Utilization
of Net Proceeds.
(a) Net
Proceeds must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for
the
restoration of the Property. Net Proceeds may be utilized for the restoration
of
the Property only if no Default shall exist and only if in the reasonable
judgment of Lender (i) there has been no material adverse change in the
financial viability of the construction or operation of the Improvements,
(ii)
the Net Proceeds, together with other funds deposited with Lender and/or
Bank of
America, N.A. for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the
restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and specifications approved
by Lender
and Bank of America, N.A., and (iii) the restoration can be completed prior
to the maturity of the Senior Note. Otherwise, Net Proceeds shall be
utilized
for payment of the Obligations.
PAGE

(b) If
Net
Proceeds are to be utilized for the restoration of the Property, the
Net
Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with Lender for that
purpose,
must be deposited in an interest-bearing account with Lender at Bank
of America,
N.A., which account will be assigned to Lender as additional security
for the
Loan (and reassigned by Lender to Bank of America, N.A. as additional
security
for its loan). The account will be opened, managed and controlled in
a manner
consistent with, and subject to, the provisions of Section
4.3
governing
a Borrower’s Deposit Account, including those provisions permitting Lender to
require Borrower to deposit funds in the event of a deficiency in the
funds
available to complete restoration as herein contemplated. Disbursements
of funds
from the account will be made in a manner consistent with, and subject
to, the
requirements for the closing and funding of the Loan and the terms of
this
Agreement regarding the disbursement of Loan proceeds.
Section
4.12 Management.
Borrower
at all times shall provide for the competent and responsible management

Borrower will keep and maintain its books and records, including recorded
data
of any kind and regardless of the medium of recording, at the address
of
Borrower set forth in Section
8.6.
Borrower
shall permit Lender, or any Person authorized by Lender and specifically
including officers and/or agents of Bank of America, N.A. so long as
the Bank of
America Loan is outstanding, to inspect and examine such books and records
(regardless of where maintained) and all supporting vouchers and data
and to
make copies and extracts therefrom at all reasonable times and as often
as may
be requested by Lender. Borrower will furnish or cause to be furnished
to Lender
quarter-annual financial statements, including balance sheets, income
statements, and cash flow statements for the Borrower, the Guarantor
and the
Property, within forty-five (45) days after each fiscal quarter-end for
the
respective reporting party, including the December 31 fiscal quarter
end, and
shall also furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender consolidated and
consolidating annual financial statements including balance sheets, income
statements, and cash flow statements for Guarantor and the Borrower within
one
hundred twenty (120) days after each fiscal year. In addition, Borrower
will
furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender, with reasonable promptness,
such
interim financial statements of Borrower, the Guarantor and the Property,
together with such additional information, reports or statements in connection
therewith, as Lender may from time to time request. All financial statements
must be in form and detail acceptable to Lender and must be certified
as to
accuracy by Borrower or the respective Guarantor, as the case may be.
The
consolidated and consolidating year-end statements of the Guarantor and
Borrower
must be audited with an unqualified opinion by an independent certified
public
accountant satisfactory to Lender and Bank of America, N.A. Borrower
shall
provide, upon Lender’s request, convenient facilities for the audit and
verification of any such statement. All certifications and signatures
on behalf
of corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and other
entities
shall be by a representative of the reporting party satisfactory to Lender.
(b) Contemporaneously
with each quarter annual and fiscal year-end financial report required
by the
foregoing paragraph (a), a certificate of the president or chief manager
of the
Borrower stating that: (i) such officer has individually reviewed the
provisions
of this Agreement; (ii) a review of the activities of the Borrower during
such
year or quarter-annual period, as the case may be, has been made by such
officer
or under such officer’s supervision, with a view to determining whether the
Borrower has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement; and
(iii) to
the best of such officer’s knowledge, the Borrower has observed and performed
each undertaking contained in this Agreement and is not in default in
the
observance or performance of any of the provisions hereof or, if the
Borrower
shall be so in default, specifying all such defaults and events of which
such
officer may have knowledge. Such certificate shall further set forth
the
calculations of the financial ratios and covenants set forth in Section
5.8,
including without limitation any antecedent calculations and the source
of any
information that was used in such calculations.
PAGE

Section
4.14 Estoppel
Certificates.
Within
ten
(10) days after any request by Lender or a proposed assignee or purchaser
of the
Loan or any interest therein, Borrower shall certify in writing to Lender,
or to
such proposed assignee or purchaser, the then unpaid balance of the Loan
and
whether Borrower claims any right of defense or setoff to the payment
or
performance of any of the Obligations, and if Borrower claims any such
right of
defense or setoff, Borrower shall give a detailed written description
of such
claimed right.
Section
4.15 Taxes.
Borrower
shall pay and discharge all Taxes prior to the date on which penalties
are
attached thereto unless and to the extent only that such Taxes are contested
in
accordance with the terms of the Mortgage.
Section
4.16 Lender’s
Rights to Pay and Perform.
If,
after
any required notice, Borrower fails to promptly pay or perform any of
the
Obligations within any applicable grace or cure periods, Lender, without
Notice
to or demand upon Borrower, and without waiving or releasing any Obligation
or
Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter
make
such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of
Borrower.
Lender may enter upon the Property for that purpose and take all action
thereon
as Lender considers necessary or appropriate. At the option of Lender,
following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any undisbursed
Loan
proceeds to the satisfaction of the conditions of the Loan Documents,
irrespective of the allocation of such Loan proceeds in the Budget. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may pay directly from
the
proceeds of the Loan all interest bills rendered by Lender in connection
with
the Loan, and following the occurrence of an Event of Default may make
advances
directly to the General Contractor, the title insurance company, any
subcontractor or material supplier, or to any of them jointly. The execution
hereof by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable
authorization so to advance the proceeds of the Loan. No further direction
or
authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct
advances.
Each advance shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall satisfy the obligations
of Lender hereunder to the extent of the amount of the advance. All of
the
foregoing provisions in favor of Lender shall also apply to Bank of America,
N.A. or any other holder form time to time of the Bank of America Loan
so long
as the Bank of America Loan is outstanding.
Section
4.17 Reimbursement;
Interest.
If
Lender
or Bank of America, N.A. on Lender's behalf shall incur any Expenses
or pay any
Claims by reason of the Loan or the rights and remedies provided under
the Loan
Documents (regardless of whether or not any of the Loan Documents expressly
provide for an indemnification by Borrower against such Claims), the
payment of
such Expenses and Claims shall constitute advances to Borrower which
shall be
paid by Borrower to Lender on demand, together with interest thereon
from the
date incurred until paid in full at the rate of interest then applicable
to the
Loan under the terms of the Note. Each advance shall be secured by the
Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents as fully as if made to Borrower, regardless
of the
disposition thereof by the party or parties to whom such advance is made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in any action or proceeding to
foreclose
the Mortgage or to recover or collect the Obligations, the provisions
of Law
governing the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail
unaffected by this Section.
PAGE

Section
4.18 Notification
by Borrower.
Borrower
will promptly give Notice to Lender (and also to Bank of America, N.A.

Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
Borrower
will also promptly give Notice to Lender (and also to Bank of America,

or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any transaction, act,
omission,
event or circumstance in any way connected with the Property or the Loan,
including any Claim arising out of or resulting from (a) Construction
of the
Improvements, including any defective workmanship or materials; (b) any
failure
by Borrower to comply with the requirements of any Laws or to comply
with any
agreement that applies or pertains to the Property, including any agreement
with
a broker or “finder” in connection with the Loan or other financing of the
Property; (c) any failure by Borrower to observe and perform any of the
obligations imposed upon the landlord under the Leases; (d) any other
Default or
Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;
or (e) any
assertion or allegation that Lender is liable for any act or omission
of
Borrower or any other Person in connection with the ownership, development,
financing, leasing, operation or sale of the Property; provided, however,
that
Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Lender with respect to any
Claim
arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
The
agreements and indemnifications contained in this Section shall apply
to Claims
arising both before and after the repayment of the Loan and shall survive
the
repayment of the Loan, any foreclosure or deed, assignment or conveyance
in lieu
thereof and any other action by Lender to enforce the rights and remedies
of
Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
Section
4.20 Fees

environmental engineers, appraisers, surveyors and Lender’s counsel in
connection with the closing, administration, modification or any “workout” of
the Loan, or the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under any of the
Loan Documents.

may
obtain from time to time an appraisal of all or any part of the Property,
prepared in accordance with written instructions from Lender, from a
third-party
appraiser satisfactory to, and engaged directly by, Lender and/or Bank
of
America, N.A.. The cost of one such appraisal obtained by Lender in each
calendar year and the cost of each such appraisal obtained by Lender
following
the occurrence of an Event of Default shall by borne by Borrower and
shall be
paid by Borrower on demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained
in this Section 4.21, Lender shall not require an appraisal unless required
by
Bank of America, N.A.
Section
4.22 Leasing

shall not make or permit any changes in the Plans and Specifications,
including
any such changes that alter, diminish or add to the work to be performed
or
change the design of the Improvements, without the prior written consent
of
Lender and under such reasonable conditions as Lender may establish.
Lender’s
prior written consent shall not be required, however, as to any change
order
which (a) individually does not cause the fixed or guaranteed maximum

Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) and, when added to all previous change

or more of
the following rights and remedies:
(a) Lender
may
terminate its obligation to advance any further principal of the Loan
pursuant
to this Agreement by Notice to Borrower.
(b) Lender
may
accelerate all of Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents whereupon such
Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without notice
of default,
acceleration or intention to accelerate, presentment or demand for payment,
protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or notices or demands of
any kind
or character (all of which are hereby waived by Borrower).
(c) Lender
may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment
of, a
receiver for the Property.
(d) Lender
may
set off the amounts due Lender under the Loan Documents against any and
all
accounts, credits, money, securities or other property of Borrower now
or
hereafter on deposit with, held by or in the possession of Lender to
the credit
or for the account of Borrower, without notice to or the consent of
Borrower.
(e) Lender
may
enter into possession of the Property and perform any and all work and
labor
necessary to complete the Construction of the Improvements (whether or
not in
accordance with the Plans and Specifications) and to employ watchmen
to protect
the Property and the Improvements. All sums expended by Lender for such
purposes
shall be deemed to have been advanced to Borrower under the Note and
shall be
secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes
and
appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power
of
substitution, which power is coupled with an interest, to complete the
work in
the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers said attorney or attorneys,
in the
name of Borrower or Lender:
(i) To
use any
funds of Borrower including any balance which may be held by Lender and
any
funds which may remain unadvanced hereunder for the purpose of completing
the
Construction of the Improvements, whether or not in the manner called
for in the
Plans and Specifications;
PAGE
19
(ii) To
make
such additions and changes and corrections to the Plans and Specifications
as
shall be necessary or desirable in the judgment of Lender to complete
the
Construction of the Improvements;
(iii) To
employ
such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as
shall be
necessary or desirable for said purpose;
(iv) To
pay,
settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be
liens
against the Property, or may be necessary or desirable for the completion
of the
work or the clearance of title to the Property;
(v) To
execute
all applications and certificates which may be required in the name of
Borrower;
(vi) To
enter
into, enforce, modify or cancel Leases and to fix or modify Rents on
such terms
as Lender may consider proper;
(vii) To
file
for record, at Borrower’s cost and expense and in Borrower’s name, any notices
of completion, notices of cessation of labor, or any other notices that
Lender
in its sole and absolute discretion may consider necessary or desirable
to
protect its security; and
(viii) To
do any
and every act with respect to the Construction of the Improvements which
Borrower may do in its own behalf.
It
is
understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be deemed to
be a power
coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked. Said attorney-in-fact
shall
also have the power to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings
in
connection with the Construction of the Improvements and to take such
actions
and to require such performance as Lender may deem necessary.
Section
7.2 No
Release or Waiver; Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent.
Borrower
shall not be relieved of any Obligation by reason of the failure of Lender
to
comply with any request of Borrower or of any other Person to take action
to
foreclose on the Property under the Mortgage or otherwise to enforce
any
provision of the Loan Documents, or by reason of the release, regardless
of
consideration, of all or any part of the Property. No delay or omission
of
Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the happening
of an
Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall
be
construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence
therein. No delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any option
for
acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations, or for foreclosure of
the
Mortgage following any Event of Default as aforesaid, or any other option
granted to Lender hereunder in any one or more instances, or the acceptance
by
Lender of any partial payment on account of the Obligations shall constitute
a
waiver of any such Event of Default and each such option shall remain
continuously in full force and effect. No remedy herein conferred upon
or
reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedies
provided
for in the Loan Documents, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative,
and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or under
the
Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by
statute.
Every right, power and remedy given by the Loan Documents to Lender shall
be
concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or together against
Borrower or the Property or any part thereof, and every right, power
and remedy
given by the Loan Documents may be exercised from time to time as often
as may
be deemed expedient by Lender.

VIII
Miscellaneous.
Section
8.1 Further
Assurances; Authorization to File Documents.
At
any
time, and from time to time, upon request by Lender, Borrower will, at
Borrower’s expense, (a) correct any defect, error or omission which may be
discovered in the form or content of any of the Loan Documents, and
(b) make, execute, deliver and record, or cause to be made, executed,
delivered and recorded, any and all further instruments, certificates
and other
documents as may, in the opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable

Upon any
failure by Borrower to do so, Lender may make, execute and record any
and all
such instruments, certificates and other documents for and in the name
of
Borrower, all at the sole expense of Borrower, and Borrower hereby appoints
Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to do so, this appointment
being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable. Without limitation
of the
foregoing, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from
time to
time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and

or
maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests
granted
in the Mortgage, and Borrower ratifies any such filings made by Lender
prior to
the date hereof.

Warranty by Lender.
By
accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or
fulfilled
by Borrower or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, including
any
certificate, Survey, receipt, appraisal or insurance policy, Lender shall
not be
deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness
or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof
and
any such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any
warranty
or representation with respect thereto by Lender.
Section
8.3 Standard
of Conduct of Lender.
Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall limit the
right of
Lender to exercise its business judgment or to act, in the context of
the
granting or withholding of any advance or consent under this Agreement
or any
other Loan Document, in a subjective manner, whether or not objectively
reasonable under the circumstances, so long as Lender’s exercise of its business
judgment or action is made or undertaken in good faith. Borrower and
Lender
intend by the foregoing to set forth and affirm their entire understanding
with
respect to the standard pursuant to which Lender’s duties and obligations are to
be judged and the parameters within which Lender’s discretion may be exercised
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. As used herein, “good faith” means
honesty in fact in the conduct and transaction concerned.
Section
8.4 No
Partnership.
Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed in a manner to create
any
relationship between Borrower and Lender other than the relationship
of borrower
and lender and Borrower and Lender shall not be considered partners or
co-venturers for any purpose on account of this Agreement.
Section
8.5 Severability.
In
the
event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the
other
Loan Documents shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any other respect, or in the
event any
one or more of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents operates or
would
prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement or any of the other
Loan
Documents, then and in either of those events, at the option of Lender,
such
provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall
not affect
the validity of the remaining Obligations, and the remaining provisions
of the
Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect and
shall in
no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
PAGE

Section
8.6 Notices.
All
Notices required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under
any other
Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically
provided in
such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished

service or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to the
party to whom directed at the applicable address set forth below (unless
changed
by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address
is to
be changed) or by facsimile. Any Notice shall be deemed to have been
given
either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or
mail, as
of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner
provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile, upon receipt; provided
that
service of a Notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered
complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon
actual
receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or
impair any
waiver of notice or demand provided in this Agreement or in any other
Loan
Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person
in any
situation or for any reason.

Section
8.16 Dispute
Resolution.
(a) Arbitration.
Except
to the extent expressly provided below, any Dispute shall, upon the request
of
either party, be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with
the
Federal Arbitration Act, Xxxxx 0, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (or if not applicable,
the
applicable state law), the then-current rules for arbitration of financial
services disputes of AAA and the “Special Rules” set forth below. In the event
of any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control. The filing of
a court
action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of Borrower
or
Lender, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of
the
Dispute to arbitration. Any party to this Agreement may bring an action,
including a summary or expedited proceeding, to compel arbitration of
any
Dispute in any court having jurisdiction over such action. For the purposes
of
this Dispute Resolution Section only, the terms “party” and “parties” shall
include any
parent
corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender involved in the servicing,
management or administration of any obligation described in or evidenced
by this
Agreement, together with the officers, employees, successors and assigns
of each
of the foregoing.
PAGE
25
(b) Special
Rules.
(i) The
arbitration shall be conducted in any U.S. state where real or tangible
personal
property collateral is located, or if there is no such collateral, in
the City
and County where Lender is located pursuant to its address for notice
purposes
in this Agreement.
(ii) The
arbitration shall be administered by AAA, who will appoint an arbitrator.
If AAA
is unwilling or unable to administer or legally precluded from administering
the
arbitration, or if AAA is unwilling or unable to enforce or legally precluded
from enforcing any and all provisions of this Dispute Resolution Section,
then
any party to this Agreement may substitute another arbitration organization
that
has similar procedures to AAA and that will observe and enforce any and
all
provisions of this Dispute Resolution Section. All
Disputes shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if the amount
in
controversy in a Dispute exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon
the
request of any party, the Dispute shall be decided by three arbitrators
(for
purposes of this Agreement, referred to collectively as the
“arbitrator”).
(iii) All
arbitration hearings will be commenced within ninety (90) days of the
demand for
arbitration and completed within ninety (90) days from the date of commencement;
provided, however, that upon a showing of good cause, the arbitrator
shall be
permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for up to an additional
sixty (60) days.
(iv) The
judgment and the award, if any, of the arbitrator shall be issued within
thirty
(30) days of the close of the hearing. The arbitrator shall provide a
concise
written statement setting forth the reasons for the judgment and for
the award,
if any. The
arbitration award, if any, may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction
to
be confirmed and enforced, and such confirmation and enforcement shall
not be
subject to arbitration.
(v) The
arbitrator will give effect to statutes of limitations and any waivers
thereof
in determining the disposition of any Dispute and may dismiss one or
more claims
in the arbitration on the basis that such claim or claims is or are barred.
For
purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service
on
AAA
under
applicable AAA
rules of
a notice of Dispute is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit.
(vi) Any
dispute concerning this arbitration provision, including any such dispute
as to
the validity or enforceability of this provision, or whether a Dispute
is
arbitrable, shall be determined by the arbitrator; provided, however,
that the
arbitrator shall not be permitted to vary the express provisions of these
Special Rules or the Reservations of Rights in subsection (c)
below.
(vii) The
arbitrator shall have the power to award legal fees and costs pursuant
to the
terms of this Agreement.
(viii) The
arbitration will take place on an individual basis without reference
to, resort
to, or consideration of any form of class or class action.
(c) Reservations
of Rights.
Nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) limit the applicability of any
otherwise applicable statutes of limitation and any waivers contained
in this
Agreement, or (ii) apply to or limit the right of Lender (A) to exercise
self help remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff, or (B) to foreclose
judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property collateral,
or
to exercise judicial or nonjudicial power of sale rights, (C) to obtain
from a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not limited
to)
injunctive relief, writ of possession, prejudgment attachment, or the
appointment of a receiver, or (D) to pursue rights against a party to
this
Agreement in a third-party proceeding in any action brought against Lender
in a
state, federal or international court, tribunal or hearing body (including
actions in specialty courts, such as bankruptcy and patent courts). Lender
may
exercise the rights set forth in clauses (A) through (D), inclusive,
before,
during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant
to
this Agreement. Neither the exercise of self help remedies nor the institution
or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional or ancillary
remedies
shall constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the claimant
in
any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the Dispute occasioning resort
to
such remedies. No provision in the Loan Documents regarding submission
to
jurisdiction and/or venue in any court is intended or shall be construed
to be
in derogation of the provisions in any Loan Document for arbitration
of any
Dispute.
PAGE
26
(d) Conflicting
Provisions for Dispute Resolution.
If there
is any conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of this
Section and
those of any other provision or agreement for arbitration or dispute
resolution,
the terms, conditions and provisions of this Section shall prevail as
to any
Dispute arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement, (ii) any
other Loan Document, (iii) any related agreements or instruments, or
(iv) the transaction contemplated herein or therein (including any claim
based on or arising from an alleged personal injury or business tort).
In any
other situation, if the resolution of a given Dispute is specifically
governed
by another provision or agreement for arbitration or dispute resolution,
the
other provision or agreement shall prevail with respect to said
Dispute.
(e) Jury
Trial Waiver in Arbitration.
By
agreeing to this Section, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive
any
right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Dispute.
Section
8.17 Forum.
Borrower
hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and
in
respect of its property to the jurisdiction of any state court or any
United
States federal court sitting in the State specified in the governing
law section
of this Agreement and to the jurisdiction of any state court or any United
States federal court sitting in the state in which any of the Property
is
located, over any Dispute. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest
extent permitted by Law, any objection that Borrower may now or hereafter
have
to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim that any such
court is an
inconvenient forum. Borrower hereby agrees and consents that, in addition
to any
methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all
service of
process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any state court or
any United
States federal court sitting in the state specified in the governing
law section
of this Agreement may be made by certified or registered mail, return
receipt
requested, directed to Borrower at its address for notice set forth in
this
Agreement, or at a subsequent address of which Lender received actual
notice
from Borrower in accordance with the notice section of this Agreement,
and
service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall
have been
so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve process
in
any manner permitted by Law or limit the right of Lender to bring proceedings
against Borrower in any other court or jurisdiction.
Section
8.18 WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL.
WITHOUT
INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY “DISPUTE”
(FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, AS DEFINED IN SCHEDULE
1)
AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE EXTENT ANY “DISPUTE” IS NOT SUBMITTED TO
ARBITRATION OR IS DEEMED BY THE ARBITRATOR OR BY ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION

WAIVE

THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER
AND LENDER,
AND BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY REPRESENT THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT
OR
OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER
OF TRIAL BY
JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THIS PROVISION IS
A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER
AND LENDER
ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING
AS
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER FURTHER REPRESENTS
AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT
AND
IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD
THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF
ITS OWN
FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER
WITH

In particular, and without limitation, the terms of any commitment by

make the Loan are merged into the Loan Documents. Except as incorporated
in

conditions:
1. Advances
Under the Budget.
As
listed in the Budget: (a) the “Total

the
maximum costs anticipated by Borrower for each item specified; (b) the
“Total

is
the
maximum cost anticipated by Borrower for the Construction of the Improvements
and Borrower’s satisfaction of the other requirements of the Loan; (c) the
“Loan

are
the
maximum amount to be advanced under the Loan; (d) “Upfront

the

or
Deferred Equity is sufficient to pay such amounts. Whenever Borrower’s Upfront
Equity or Deferred Equity is on deposit with Lender, Lender shall make
all
advances first from such equity based on the allocations thereof set
forth in
the Budget. After the exhaustion of Upfront Equity or Deferred Equity
allocated
to a given line item, Lender will advance Loan proceeds for that line
item
pursuant to the Budget. Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Upfront
Equity
and the Deferred Equity will be funded by Borrower from proceeds under

with
respect to the Land theretofore delivered to Lender, showing that since
the last

have the
effect of advancing the effective date of the policy to the date of the
advance
then being made and increasing the coverage of the policy by an amount
equal to
the advance then being made, if the policy does not by its terms provide
automatically for such an increase.
(b) Interim

and
workmanlike manner, that all materials and fixtures usually furnished
and

for
advance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with other
funds which
Lender determines to be available to Borrower for such purpose, are and
will be
sufficient to pay the cost of such completion.
