ARTICLE VIII
METHODS OF DISBURSEMENTS OF DEVELOPMENT FINANCING PROCEEDS
The Development Financing shall be disbursed (a "Disbursement")
as follows:
1. PROCEDURE - Not more often than monthly, Lessee may submit an
Application for Payment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
"C" requesting the Disbursement of proceeds under the Development
Financing ( "Draw Request"), which request shall be submitted to
Lessor and to CTIC at least five (5) business days prior to the
date on which a Disbursement is requested. Provided the
conditions of this Development Financing Agreement are met on the
date requested for such advance, Lessor shall advance to CTIC
amounts certified to be currently payable by Lessee (excluding
the retainage hereinafter specified) for the then incurred
portion of Construction Costs pursuant to the Application for
Payment. All costs shall have been approved in writing by the
Project Architect, Lessee, Contractor, and if required by Lessor,
by the Inspecting Architect. All interest accruing need not be
disbursed to CTIC, but may be immediately and automatically
credited by Lessor to the Development Financing account. CTIC
shall disburse all funds advanced to it by Lessor in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any special
escrow requirements imposed by CTIC as a condition to its acting
as the disbursing agent hereunder. The disbursed proceeds of the
Development Financing shall bear interest from and including the
date of disbursement to CTIC or the date of credit by Lessor
provided that in the event CTIC shall fail to disburse any
advances within five (5) business days after the date set for an
advance, CTIC shall return said advance to Lessor and interest on
such advance shall xxxxx from and after the date of such return.
Any amounts disbursed to CTIC and returned by CTIC to the Lessor
shall not be deemed to be advanced under the Development
Financing Documents. Each Application for Payment shall clearly
set forth the amounts due to Lessee and to each Contractor out of
the requested Development Financing and shall be accompanied by
the following:
a. A Draw Request Certificate in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit "D" certifying that each contractor or materialman
for which payment is requested in the relevant Application
for Payment has satisfactorily completed the work or
furnished the materials for which payment is requested in
accordance with the applicable contract; that all work for
which an Application for Payment is made substantially
conforms to the Contract Documents and any approved changes,
and is in place; and that sufficient funds remain of the
undisbursed Development Financing proceeds to complete the
Project and that all funds previously disbursed have been
applied as per the previous Application for Payment.
b. Waivers of Mechanics' Liens and Materialmen's Liens
executed by all Contractors for all work done and all
materials furnished to the Leased Premises and included in
such current Application for Payment, or evidence reasonably
required by Title to insure over the same by special specific
endorsement, or such other releases of lien pursuant to
bonding or otherwise to prevent such liens from attaching to
the Leased Premises.
c. Waivers of Mechanics' Liens and Materialmen's Liens
executed by all Sub-Contractors and workmen and materialmen
for all work done and all materials furnished to the Leased
Premises and included in the immediately preceding
Application for Payment, or evidence reasonably required by
Title to insure over the same by special specific
endorsement, or such other releases or lien pursuant to
bonding or otherwise to prevent such liens from attaching to
the Leased Premises.
d. Such other supporting evidence, including invoices and
receipts as may be requested by Lessor or CTIC to
substantiate all payments which are to be made out of the
Disbursement or to substantiate all payments then made in
respect to the Project.
2. INTEREST ADVANCE - If interest has accrued on the Development
Financing and is unpaid or fees are payable to the Lessor
hereunder, Lessor shall be, and hereby is, authorized at any time
to advance to itself from the proceeds of the Development
Financing the total amount of such accrued interest and fees,
whether or not an Application for Payment has been submitted by
the Lessee and the same shall be deemed to be an advance of the
proceeds of the Development Financing under this Agreement in the
same manner and with the same effect as if advanced under the
provisions above. It is understood Lessor may establish an
automatic interest reserve whereby Lessor may withdraw from the
Development Financing account on a regular basis the accrued
interest on the Development Financing and credit the Development
Financing balance with the same. Lessor shall give Lessee prompt
written notice of any such advance or withdrawal.
3. ASSESSMENT AND TAX ADVANCE - As taxes and assessments become
due on the Leased Premises, Lessor shall be, and hereby is,
authorized to advance to itself automatically from the proceeds
of the Development Financing, the total amount of such taxes and
assessments and the same shall be deemed to be an advance of the
proceeds of the Development Financing under this Agreement in the
same manner and with the same effect as if advances under the
provisions above, if not previously paid before due pursuant to
Lessee's obligations under the Lease. Lessor shall give Lessee
prompt written notice of any such advance or withdrawal.
4. DISBURSE UNDER DEVELOPMENT FINANCING DOCUMENT - All sums
advanced and disbursed hereunder shall be disbursed under and
shall be secured by the Development Financing Documents.
5. PAYMENTS TO SUBCONTRACTORS - In its reasonable discretion CTIC
may make payments directly to any subcontractor or materialman.
6. RETAINAGE - Each Disbursement shall be limited to an amount
equal to ninety percent (90%) of the value, inclusive of
Contractor's profit and overhead, of the materials and labor
furnished to the Leased Premises and the balance (herein called
the Retainage) shall be retained by Lessor, provided that thirty
(30) days after completion by each subcontractor or materialman
of his subcontract Lessor will disburse to such party, or to the
Contractor on behalf of such party the Retainage withheld from
said party, provided that as a condition to such disbursement the
Lessee and Project Architect and the Inspecting Architect shall
certify to Lessor the date that such party's subcontract has been
fully and satisfactorily completed and the subcontractor or
materialmen shall have supplied Title with satisfactory final
lien waivers, including final lien waivers for any of its
submaterialmen or sub- contractors. Contractor's profit and
overhead (less ten percent of such amount retained as retainage)
shall be disbursed at the time each disbursement is made based
upon and in proportion to the percentage of completion of the
Project, or amounts payable under the Construction Contract for
work actually performed, whichever is less, as certified by the
Project Architect. Any Retainage due the Contractor for work
performed or materials furnished by the Contractor and the final
balance of Contractor's profit and overhead shall be disbursed on
the Final Disbursement Date pursuant to Article IX hereof.

substantially the manner contemplated by the Contract
Documents; to employ such contractors, subcontractors,

and in addition to any other right or remedy now or hereafter
arising at a law or in equity or by statute. Except as Lessor
may hereafter otherwise agree in writing, no waiver by Lessor or

obtaining any materials or labor (except due to the payment of
monies), shortage or unavailability of a source of energy or
utility service, Act of God, casualty, adverse weather

ARTICLE XIII
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION, CONDEMNATION, USE OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS
1. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF THE LEASED PREMISES. Lessee
will give the Lessor prompt notice of any damage to or
destruction of the Leased Premises and in case of loss covered by
policies of insurance the Lessor (whether before or after the
exercise of the Put if Lessee be in default hereof) is hereby
authorized at its option to settle and adjust any claim arising
out of such policies and collect and receipt for the proceeds
payable therefrom, provided, that the Lessee may itself adjust
and collect for any losses arising out of a single occurrence
aggregating not in excess of $100,000.00. Any expense incurred
by the Lessor in the adjustment and collection of insurance
proceeds (including the cost of any independent appraisal of the
loss or damage on behalf of Lessor) shall be reimbursed to the
Lessor first out of any proceeds. Subject to paragraph 4 hereof,
the proceeds or any part thereof shall be applied to reduction of
the Put Price, which Put may then be exercised by Lessor, without
the application of any prepayment premium, or to the restoration
or repair of the Leased Premises, the choice of application to be
solely at the discretion of Lessor.
2. CONDEMNATION. Lessee will give the Lessor prompt notice
of any action, actual or threatened, in condemnation or eminent
domain affecting the Leased Premises and hereby assigns,
transfers, and sets over to the Lessor the entire proceeds of any
award or claim for damages for all or any part of the Leased
Premises taken or damaged under the power of eminent domain or
condemnation, the Lessor being hereby authorized to intervene in
any such action and to collect and receive from the condemning
authorities and give proper receipts and acquittances for such
proceeds. Lessee will not enter into any agreements with the
condemning authority permitting or consenting to the taking of
the Leased Premises unless prior written consent of Lessor is
obtained. Any expenses incurred by the Lessor in intervening in
such action or collecting such proceeds shall be reimbursed to
the Lessor first out of the proceeds. Subject to paragraph 4
hereof, the proceeds or any part thereof shall be applied to
reduction of the Put Price, which Put may then be exercised by
Lessor, without the application of any prepayment premium, or to
the restoration or repair of the Leased Premises, the choice of
application to be solely at the discretion of Lessor.
3. DISBURSEMENT OF INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS. Any
restoration or repair shall be done under the supervision of an
architect acceptable to Lessor and pursuant to plans and
specifications approved by the Lessor. Subject to paragraph 4
below, in any case where Lessor may elect to apply the proceeds
to repair or restoration or permit the Lessee to so apply the
proceeds they shall be held by Lessor for such purposes and will
from time to time be disbursed by Lessor to defray the costs of
such restoration or repair under such safeguards and controls as
Lessor may reasonably require to assure completion in accordance
with the approved plans and specifications and free of liens or
claims, to be disbursed as if such disbursements were
disbursements of Development Financing. Lessee shall on demand
deposit with Lessor any sums necessary to make up any deficits
between the actual cost of the work and the proceeds and provide
such lien waivers and completion bonds as Lessor may reasonably
require. Any surplus which may remain after payment of all costs
of restoration or repair shall be applied against the rent then
most remotely to be paid, whether due or not, without application
of any prepayment premium or credit.
4. LESSOR TO MAKE PROCEEDS AVAILABLE. In the event of
insured damage to the improvements or in the event of a taking by
condemnation of only a portion of the improvements or land area
of the Leased Premises, provided, the Completion Date need not be
extended more than 90 days, the appraised value of the Leased
Premises after such restoration or repair shall not have been
reduced, and provided further, no event of default exists under
this Agreement after the expiration of any applicable cure
periods and Lessee is diligently pursuing a course of conduct
reasonably designed to cure such default, and the Lessee
certifies to Lessor their intention to remain in possession of
the Leased Premises without any abatement or adjustment of rental
payments, the Lessor agrees to make the proceeds available to the
restoration or repair of the improvements on the Leased Premises
in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof.
ARTICLE XIV
MANDATORY PUT UPON DEFAULT
Should Lessee commit an event of Default under this Agreement
or any Development Financing Document (after the expiration of
any applicable notice and cure period) ("Uncured Default"),
Lessor shall have the following rights:
Upon an Uncured Default, or damage or destruction or
condemnation of the Leased Premises not addressed by paragraph
XIII (4), if Lessor elects to exercise the following option
within 45 days after the expiration of any applicable notice and
cure period, Lessee shall purchase the Leased Premises from
Lessor subject to the following terms and conditions:
A. The purchase price at which Lessor shall sell the Leased
Premises to Lessee, shall be the total amount of Initial
Disbursed Funds disbursed by Lessor to acquire the

pursuant to this Agreement, plus all accrued interest
and incurred expenses of Lessor fundable pursuant to
this Agreement, plus all reasonable costs of collection
and enforcement of the terms hereof.

actual closing of the sale of the Leased Premises to
Lessee pursuant to the terms hereof (the "Sale Date"),
which shall be sixty days from such notice by Lessor.
Lessee shall on or before the Sale Date deliver the
purchase price as set forth in subparagraph (A) of this
Article to Lessor. Upon such delivery, which shall be

affidavits evidencing that Lessor transfers the Leased
Premises to Lessee subject to restrictions, easements or
other encumbrances upon title existing as of the date of
delivery, if any, except to the extent, if any, placed
of record or caused by Lessor. The purchase price to be

Lessee "As Is".
If Lessee shall fail to pay the Purchase Price on or before
the Sale Date, Lessor may terminate the Lease, and sell the
Leased Premises to any third party purchaser. Lessor may then
send Lessee notice of the shortfall (the "Deficiency"), if any,
between the amount of the net proceeds received by Lessor in such
sale, and the total amount of Initial Disbursed Funds disbursed
by Lessor to acquire the Parcel at the Closing Date (as defined
in the Commitment), plus the total amount of funds disbursed
pursuant to this Agreement, plus all accrued interest and
incurred expenses of Lessor fundable pursuant to this Agreement,
plus all reasonable costs of collection and enforcement of the
terms hereof. Lessee shall immediately upon receipt of such
notice of Deficiency remit the amount of the Deficiency in good
funds to Lessor.
Lessor's rights under this Put shall expire on the Final
Disbursement Date when the amendment to the Lease has been
executed by all parties as set forth in Article IX hereof.
ARTICLE XV
RENT, INTEREST, AND RENTAL MODIFICATION DATE
1. Rent shall be payable by Lessee and calculated as follows, on
the funds advanced by Lessor on the Closing Date for the purchase
of the land and related closing costs (the "Initial Disbursed
Funds"): Rent shall accrue in the amount of $9,905.00 per month
absent an uncured Default by Lessee; absent an uncured Default,
accrued rent during the period of construction of the
Improvements prior to the Rental Modification Date shall not be
payable until the Final Disbursement Date. Upon the occurrence
of an uncured Default, all accrued rent shall be immediately due
and payable.
On the Rental Modification Date, if not otherwise in default
hereunder, Lessee shall begin paying Rent out of pocket by the
first of each month (prorata for the balance of any partial month
in which the Rental Modification Date occurs, payable with the
first such adjusted Rent payable on the first day of the first
full month following the Rental Modification Date). On the Final
Disbursement Date, absent an uncured Default, Rent shall be
adjusted and documented by the lease amendment contemplated in
ARTICLE IX hereof and paid to Lessor as described in ARTICLE F.
of the Commitment.
2. Distinct from Rent, disbursed proceeds of the Development
Financing shall accrue interest at a rate of 10.5% per annum,
which interest shall accrue unpaid unless advanced by Lessor to
itself, or Lessee shall default hereunder, which default shall
remain uncured after the expiration of any applicable notice and
cure period. However, one hundred and eighty days (180) from the
date hereof, (the "Rental Modification Date"), Lessee shall begin
making monthly payments of subsequently accruing interest at the
rate of 10.5% per annum out of pocket ("Out of Pocket Invoiced
Interest") within 5 days after invoice from Lessor.
3. Upon the occurrence of an event of default which remains
uncured after the expiration of applicable notice and cure
periods, disbursed proceeds of the Development Financing shall
accrue interest at a rate of Twelve Percent (12.0%) per annum, or
the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less, and the
rental rate on the Initial Disbursed funds shall increase to
Twelve Percent (12.0%) per annum, or the highest rental rate
allowed by law, whichever is less.
