LOAN FACILITY
Section 3.1 Agreement to Borrow and Lend. Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Equity Contribution has been paid in full by Borrower as provided in Section 3.2, and subject to the satisfaction of all other requirements of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make a loan to Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of up to SIXTY-NINE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($69,000,000) (the “Loan”) through an advance to, or for the benefit of, Borrower, on the Closing Date to pay a portion of the cost to acquire the Project. Lender will retain a portion of the Loan in the approximate amount of $10,259,000 (the “Conversion Holdback”), with approximately $3,500,000 of such amount being held by Lender as an interest reserve for payment of interest due on the Loan (the “Interest Reserve”) and the remaining amount for disbursement to pay hard and soft costs in accordance with the Project Budget, including the costs to perform the Work. Disbursements from the Conversion Holdback for soft costs line items will be paid to Borrower as incurred, based on the submission of bona fide third party invoices and/or contracts, and verification of such expenses in Lender’s reasonable discretion. Upon Borrower’s Request for Disbursement of the Conversion Holdback, for payment of costs of hard costs line items, Borrower shall provide to Lender such documentation as Lender shall request, including, construction contracts, purchase orders, invoices, receipts, contractor’s and Borrower’s draw request, Borrower’s and contractor’s sworn statements, endorsements to the Lender’s title insurance, mechanics’ lien waivers and any other reasonable documentation Lender shall request (and in the forms requested by Lender) evidencing payment to all contractors and materialmen completing the Work, and for the payment of certain soft costs and hard costs of the Project as set forth in the approved Project Budget. Prior to any disbursement by Lender for a Request for Disbursement, Lender may also require a site visit by Lender or someone on Lender’s behalf for verification of the status of the Work and any costs related to such site visits shall be paid by Borrower. Such inspections and confirmations are solely for the benefit of Lender and may not be relied upon by Borrower. Amounts borrowed and repaid or prepaid under the Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if the total costs for completion of the Project (including the Work in accordance with the Approved Plans) shall be less than the total Project Budget, then the positive difference between the Project Budget and the actual total costs for the completion of the Project (including the Work in accordance with the Approved Plans) shall be
16
referred to herein as the “Total Budget Savings,” and the principal amount of the Loan available for disbursement hereunder and under the Note shall automatically be reduced by an amount equal to the Total Budget Savings.
Section 3.2 Equity Contribution, Mezzanine Loan and Subordinate Loan. Prior to any advance of any Loan proceeds, and as a condition precedent to any such advance:
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall have invested at least $11,000,000 towards the costs of the Project, including (i) Borrower’s prior expenditures in anticipation of closing and (ii) cash on the Closing Date toward the acquisition and closing of the Land, the Improvements and the Loan (the “Minimum Equity Investment”). The Minimum Equity Investment shall be subject to such verification as requested by Lender in its sole discretion. It is understood that Lender shall not be required to disburse any proceeds of the Loan which shall be used to reimburse Borrower for the Minimum Equity Investment. In order to qualify as the Minimum Equity Investment, Borrower shall have received at least $1,000,000 of the funds (which funds may include prior expenditures as provided in (a)(i) above) as a contribution to capital from Guarantors, with the remainder coming from various investors thereof (collectively, the “Contributor”). Borrower may not be indebted to any Contributor or any other entity for the contribution to capital. Any Contributor of equity to the Project, including, without limitation, the Minimum Equity Investment, shall be fully subordinate to Lender and to general unsecured creditors of Borrower. Borrower shall deliver to Lender such written substantiation and evidence as Lender shall reasonably request in order to document, support and verify all costs and expenses and other sums paid by Borrower which Borrower claims to comprise its Minimum Equity Investment in the Project. In addition, Borrower shall also be required to contribute additional equity (the “Additional Equity Contribution”) in an amount equal to the amount required to keep the Loan In-Balance as provided in Article 7 of this Agreement. (The Minimum Equity Investment and the Additional Equity Contribution may be referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Equity Contribution”). Borrower’s satisfaction of the foregoing Equity Contribution investment shall be subject to the review, verification and approval of Lender, and to that end, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such written substantiation and evidence as Lender shall reasonably request in order to document, support and verify all costs and expenses and other sums paid by Borrower which Borrower claims to comprise its Equity Contribution in the Project. In the event Borrower or Contributor invests more than the Minimum Equity Investment (excluding Additional Equity Contributions required hereunder), the Loan amount shall be permanently reduced by such invested amount, unless the Borrower delivers to the Lender a written request for a refund of such invested amount within thirty (30) days of such excess investment, but in no event shall such a request be required sooner than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.
(b) All funds under the Mezzanine Loan (except for the Mezzanine Interest Reserve, if any) and the Subordinate Loan shall have been fully disbursed.

The Default Rate, when operative, shall be adjusted on each Adjustment Date (as defined in the Note). Nothing contained in this Section 3.5 or in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall grant or be deemed or construed to grant Borrower the right to cure any Event of Default.
Section 3.6 Computations of Interest. All computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination in good faith by Lender of the Interest Rate (as defined in the Note) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 3.7 Payment of Interest and Principal. Interest and principal of the Loan shall be paid as provided in the Note.
Section 3.8 Voluntary Prepayment. The Loan may be prepaid to the extent, and upon the terms, provided in the Note.
Section 3.9 Procedure for Payment. All payments required to be made pursuant to the Note shall be made as provided in the Note.
Section 3.10 Loan Term.
(a) Unless Borrower shall exercise its option to extend in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.10(b) below, the term of the Loan (the “Loan Term”) shall be for a period of twenty-four (24) months, commencing on the date of the Note and expiring on March 19, 2008.
(b) Borrower shall have the right and option to extend the Loan Term for two (2) additional periods of six (6) months (each an “Extension,” together the “Extensions”), subject to Borrower’s timely satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(i) Lender has not given notice to Borrower that the Loan has been accelerated during the Loan Term;
(ii) Borrower shall have delivered written notice (“Extension Notice”) to Lender of Borrower’s election to extend the Loan Term for an Extension, and Lender shall have received an Extension Notice not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Loan Term;
18
(iii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender no later than the date of each Extension Notice, an extension fee equal to one-half percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan and the unfunded commitment (“Extension Fee”);
(iv) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, under this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents;
(v) The completion of the Work has occurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(vi) Lender has received at least $40,000,000 in principal paydowns pursuant to Valid Sale Contracts and the requirements of Article 9; and
(vii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender evidence in a form acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion that the maturity of the Mezzanine Loan or the Subordinate Loan shall not occur during an Extension.
(c) In the event that Borrower shall fail to timely exercise an option under Section 3.10(b), or shall otherwise fail to satisfy the conditions precedent thereto as described in Section 3.10(b) above, the right to exercise any such option shall be void and of no further force and effect. Further, with respect to each Extension:
(i) if Borrower does not request an Extension, or
(ii) if Borrower does request an Extension and Lender gives timely written notice to Borrower that Borrower has not satisfied one or more of the conditions to such Extension,
then unless the Obligations, including without limitation all accrued interest, all principal, all late fees, the Exit Fee, and all other sums and amounts due and owing to Lender under the provisions of the Note, this Agreement and any and all other Loan Documents, are paid in full not later than March 19, 2008 (subject to acceleration of the Loan at an earlier date) then: (A) the full Extension Fee shall be due and payable in addition to all of the Obligations, including without limitation all accrued interest, all principal, all late fees, the Exit Fee, and all other sums and amounts due and owing to Lender under the provisions of this Agreement, the Note and any and all other Loan Documents and (B) the Loan Term shall be extended for a period of thirty (30) days. If the Loan Term is extended for the thirty (30) day period described above, the Mortgage shall not be released until the applicable Extension Fee and all of the Obligations, including without limitation all accrued interest, all principal, all late fees, the Exit Fee, and all other sums and amounts due and owing to Lender under the provisions of this Agreement, the Note and any and all other Loan Documents have been paid in full. In the event that Lender has given notice to Borrower that the Loan has been accelerated, the thirty (30) day extension of the Loan Term described in this Section 3.10(c) shall not apply. In the event Lender provides notice to Borrower that the Loan has been accelerated and such acceleration occurs after March 19, 2008, then the applicable Extension Fee shall continue to be due and payable upon such acceleration.
19
Section 3.11 Taxes; Withholding, Etc. If any treaty, law or any governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive, or any interpretation thereof, or compliance of Lender with such,
(a) subjects Lender to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from Borrower (excluding United States, state, local and city taxation of the net income of Lender or any taxes imposed by the State of Illinois or the City of Chicago), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect of the Loan or other amounts due Lender hereunder (other than a mere increase in the rates of taxation) or any taxation imposed by the State of Illinois or the City of Chicago; or
(b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against the non-physical assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender under this Agreement; or
(c) imposes any other condition directly related to this Loan transaction or the process or manner or making or funding the Loan under this Agreement or obtaining the sources of funds for such Loan, the result of which is to increase the cost to Lender of making, funding or maintaining loans or reduces any amount receivable by Lender in connection with U.S. Dollar loans, or requires Lender to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans held or interest received by it; or
(d) affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender and Lender determines the amount of such capital required is increased by or based upon the existence of this Agreement;
then, within thirty (30) days of written demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which Lender determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining the Loan and this Agreement.
Section 3.12 Acceleration of Maturity. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents, the unpaid principal amount of the Loan with interest and all other sums secured by the Mortgage shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender. In the event of such acceleration, Borrower shall discharge its Obligations to Lender by paying all sums due under the Note, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents, together with interest at the Default Rate accruing from the date of such Event of Default. Lender’s failure to exercise its option to accelerate the Loan as aforesaid upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to exercise such option at any later time with respect to such Event of Default or with respect to any other subsequently occurring Event of Default.
Section 3.13 Costs of Collection. If, following the Closing Date, Lender: (a) employs counsel which Lender reasonably believes is necessary for advice or other representation (i) to represent Lender in any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, or proceeding or to commence, defend, or intervene or to take any other action in or with respect to any litigation, contest, dispute or proceeding (whether instituted by Lender, Borrower or any other person) in any way or respect relating to the Note, any other Loan Document, any collateral securing the Note or the
20
Obligations, or (ii) to enforce any rights of Lender against Borrower; (b) takes any action to protect, collect, sell, liquidate, or otherwise dispose of any Collateral; and/or (c) attempts to enforce or enforces any of Lender’s rights and remedies against Borrower or Guarantors, then in such event, the reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in any manner or way with respect to the foregoing shall be part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such fees, costs and expenses, shall include reasonable fees, costs and expenses of attorneys, accountants and consultants; court costs and expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges, telegram and telecopier charges; and expenses for travel, lodging and food. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “attorneys” includes attorneys who are employees of Lender acting as counsel for Lender, and the terms “fees, costs and expenses” shall include, without limitation, the fees charged by Lender for its in-house counsel provided such fees are within the range of fees charged by attorneys of similar experience at medium to large sized law firms located in the City of Chicago, Illinois.
Section 3.14 Late Charges. If any monthly installment of interest or any other payment due under the Note or any other Loan Document is received fifteen (15) or more days after the due date of such payment, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to seven percent (7%) of the monthly installment or such other payment due under the Note and/or the applicable Loan Document, as the case may be, for the purpose of defraying the expenses incident to handling such delinquent payments, which “late charge” shall be payable on the same day of the month as payments of interest, provided, however, in no event shall Borrower be required to pay a late fee greater than the maximum amount permitted under applicable Laws. Such charge shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy Lender may have and is in addition to any reasonable fees and charges of attorneys that Lender is entitled to employ upon any Default by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, whether authorized herein or by law.
Section 3.15 Loan Documents. In consideration of Lender’s entry into this Agreement and Lender’s agreement to fund the Loan, Borrower agrees that, in addition to the Note, and in order to secure the due and prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, Borrower shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered by Guarantors, the following documents or instruments, all in scope, form, substance and legal sufficiency acceptable to Lender:

Section 3.16 Operating Account; Excess NOI Account; Interest Reserve. Borrower and/or Property Manager shall open, and thereafter shall maintain with Depositary Bank (until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full), a non-interest bearing operating account (the “Operating Account”) into which all income, revenues and profits generated by the Project or any part thereof shall be deposited and from which Borrower shall timely pay the reasonable and customary operating and maintenance expenses of the Project and debt service on this Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender a security interest in such Operating Account and the funds therein from time to time as additional security for the Loan pursuant to the Assignment of Operating Account. Failure of Borrower to deposit any and all NOI into the Operating Account shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written and signed acknowledgement from Property Manager and the Depositary Bank of the assignment by Borrower to Lender of Borrower’s interest therein and an agreement by such Property Manager and Depository Bank, that until the Loan is paid in full, any and all of such deposits which are payable to Borrower shall be paid directly to Lender. Additionally, unless waived by Lender, Borrower shall open, and thereafter shall maintain with Lender (until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full), a non-interest bearing account (the “Excess NOI Account”) into which monthly NOI in excess of the interest payment payable under the Loan shall be deposited and from which Borrower shall timely pay debt service on this Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender a security interest in such Excess NOI Account and the funds therein from time to time as additional security for the Loan pursuant to the Assignment of Accounts. Failure of Borrower to deposit any and all excess NOI into the Excess NOI Account shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. Interest payments shall be made under the Loan from the following sources in the following order, as
22
available: first, from the current month’s NOI; then, from the Excess NOI Account; then, from the Interest Reserve line item in the Project Budget; and finally, directly from the Borrower from Outside Sources. Lender is authorized to charge the interest on the Loan payable under the Note against the funds in the Excess NOI Account. In the event the NOI (as described above) is insufficient or otherwise unavailable for disbursement (as the result of an Event of Default), Lender shall be authorized to charge the interest on the Loan payable under the Note monthly against the Interest Reserve until such time that the funds provided for in the Interest Reserve are fully disbursed. In the event that the funds provided for in the Interest Reserve are fully disbursed or are insufficient or are otherwise unavailable for disbursement (as the result of an Event of Default), then Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid directly to Lender the interest then due and payable on the Loan in the amount set forth in a written notice to Borrower from Outside Sources. Nothing contained in this Section 3.16 shall relieve Borrower of the absolute and unconditional obligation to pay accrued interest on the Obligations as provided herein and in the Note and other Loan Documents. Homeowner or condominium association dues may be drawn from the Excess NOI Account only if the Loan is not in default and all payments owed the Lender, including monthly interest and escrow deposits, are current.
Section 3.17 Place of Advance. All Loan advances shall be made at Lender’s office in Chicago, Illinois.
Section 3.18 Delivery of Requests for Disbursement. All Requests for Disbursement and all required supporting documentation shall be submitted by Borrower simultaneously with any Request for Disbursement made by Borrower under this Agreement and must be received by Lender no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the requested disbursement. In the event that Borrower has satisfied all conditions to a disbursement of Loan proceeds and there is no Default or Event of Default, Lender shall make commercially reasonable efforts to fund the disbursement requested within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of the Request for Disbursement. Disbursements shall not be made more often than once per month.
Section 3.19 Expenses and Advances Secured by Loan Documents. Lender may, at Lender’s sole option, at any time and from time to time make Protective Advances. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower constitutes an irrevocable direction to make such Protective Advances and no further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such Protective Advances and all such Protective Advances shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage as fully as if made to Borrower, regardless of the disposition of any such Protective Advance.
Section 3.20 Other Limitations and Requirements. The making of any advance by Lender shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval by Lender (for the benefit of Borrower or any third party) of the work done or actions taken in regard to the Project.
Section 3.21 Exit Fee. Borrower shall pay an exit fee in the amount of $690,000 (the “Exit Fee”). The Exit Fee shall be payable in increments of $3,000 upon the closing of the sale of each Condominium Unit until such time as an aggregate of $690,000 has been paid. If: (a) Loan Maturity shall occur prior to the payment in full of the Exit Fee or (b) Borrower shall pay the Obligations in full prior to the payment in full of the Exit Fee, then the Exit Fee shall be due and payable upon Loan Maturity and or upon the payment in full by Borrower of the
23
Obligations, in each event in an amount equal to the Exit Fee less any portion of the Exit Fee theretofore paid at the closing of the sale of Condominium Units.

Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to make an advance to itself to pay all Loan Expenses and Closing Expenses on or after the date on which such expenses shall be due and payable if Borrower fails to timely remit such funds.

Section 9.3 Sales of Units. Prior to the transfer of title of any Condominium Unit, Borrower shall, in addition to and not in limitation of any other requirements set forth herein, satisfy each of the following conditions:
38
(a) Borrower shall have provided Lender with not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the intended transfer of title, which written notice shall be accompanied by (i) a copy of the applicable Valid Sale Contract, (ii) a copy of the draft closing statement for the proposed transfer, and (iii) the partial releases in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, to be executed by Lender in order to release the Mortgage, the Assignments of Leases and Rents and the UCC Financing Statements from the Condominium Unit to be sold and containing a description of the Condominium Unit to be released, which partial releases shall be prepared by Borrower at Borrower’s expense, subject to Lender’s approval in its reasonable discretion in accordance with this Agreement. If Borrower has not received written objections or approval from Lender within ten (10) days of Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s notice, together with all support documentation reasonably requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with a second written notice, with a copy of such notice being sent to the attention of Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Esq. at Corus Bank, N.A., together with the initial Lender addressees set forth in Section 17.3 hereof. If Borrower has not received written objections, approval or a request for additional information from Lender within ten (10) days of such second written notice, such documents shall be deemed approved by Lender.
(b) At least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the Mass Closing, Borrower shall have provided to Lender and Lender shall have approved the Offering Materials which Offering Materials shall contain all documents and instruments by which Condominium Units will be transferred to purchasers, including, without limitation, the Declaration pursuant to which the Land shall be converted to the Condominium Units; the By-Laws and other governing instruments pursuant to which the association of owners of such Condominium Units shall be created and governed; and the forms of the purchase agreement and deed by which the Condominium Units shall be conveyed to Condominium Unit purchasers. If Borrower has not received written objections or approval from Lender within ten (10) days of Lender’s receipt of the Offering Materials, together with all support documentation reasonably requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with a written notice requesting approval, with a copy of such notice being sent to the attention of Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Esq. at Corus Bank, N.A., together with the initial Lender addressees set forth in Section 17.3 hereof. If Borrower has not received written objections, approval or a request for additional information from Lender within ten (10) days of such written notice, the Offering Materials shall be deemed approved by Lender.
(c) Borrower shall have filed and recorded the Declaration in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1, and contemporaneously therewith, Lender shall have executed a document or documents, prepared by Borrower at Borrower’s expense but subject to Lender’s approval in its reasonable discretion, subordinating the lien of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and Rents and the UCC Financing Statements to the Declaration and the By-Laws and floor plans filed in connection with the Declaration.
(d) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents.
(e) Borrower shall have satisfied any other conditions required to be satisfied prior to such transfer of title pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Offering Materials or applicable Laws.
39
(f) No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the first Condominium Unit closing, Borrower shall have provided Lender with evidence acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion evidence that (i) Borrower has signed copies of at least eighty (80) Valid Sale Contracts that indicate that Borrower will be in a position to perform the Mass Closing; (ii) Borrower shall be able to close on at least thirty (30) Condominium Units within twenty-five (25) days of the first Condominium Unit closing (“Initial Units”) and (iii) Borrower shall be able to close on an additional fifty (50) Condominium Units (“Additional Units”) within ninety (90) days of the first Condominium Unit closing with each and every Condominium Unit sale involved in the Mass Closing (A) having a gross sales price of at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Minimum List Price (exclusive of any Upgrades) and (B) generating proceeds meeting the requirements of Section 9.4. Such proof shall include, without limitation, executed Valid Sale Contracts, a supporting sales schedule and a schedule of closing dates. The satisfaction and consummation of each of the foregoing items (i), (ii) and (iii) (including the closing and conveyance of the Initial Units and the Additional Units within the time periods set forth above and the payment of the Release Price or Reduced Release Price to Lender with respect to such Initial Units and Additional Units as set forth below in Section 9.4) shall constitute the “Mass Closing Requirement.” Borrower shall satisfy the Mass Closing Requirement on or before the date which is eight (8) months after the Closing Date, subject to Force Majeure, provided, however, during any such extension as a result of Force Majeure, the Loan will be kept In Balance as required under Section 7.1 hereof. Borrower shall make a principal reduction (without any Prepayment Fee (as defined in the Note)) of $7,000,000 (the “Mass Closing Principal Reduction”) within ten (10) Business Days of the date which is eight (8) months after the Closing Date, unless Borrower has satisfied the Mass Closing Requirement. Such Mass Closing Principal Reduction shall be from Outside Sources. The failure of Borrower to make the Mass Closing Principal Reduction shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement, and shall allow Lender to invoke one or more of its remedies under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, accelerating the Loan and/or charging interest at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing Event of Default, Lender may at its sole and absolute discretion allow closings to occur and principal reductions from the release of Condominium Units in accordance with this Agreement without prejudice to its right to pursue any or all of its remedies under the Loan Documents at any time.
Section 9.4 Release of Units.
(a) In the event of the consummation of a sale of a Condominium Unit (which shall be permitted only upon and after the events described in Section 9.3 shall have occurred) and so long as the Mass Closing shall have occurred or shall be occurring in connection with such Condominium Unit sale or the Mass Closing Requirement shall have been satisfied, as the case may be, Lender shall release the Condominium Unit and its appurtenant undivided interest in the common elements of the Condominium, from the lien of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and Rents and the UCC Financing Statements provided that Lender shall have received an amount equal to the Release Price (as defined in Section 9.4(b) below). In order that the matter be free from doubt, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to release any individual Condominium Units from the lien of the Mortgage and the security interest of any of the other Loan Documents unless Lender has received evidence that the release is part of a group of sales which will accomplish the Mass Closing as described in
40
Section 9.3(f) or the Mass Closing shall have occurred or the Mass Closing Requirement shall have been satisfied, as the case may be.
(b) As used herein, the term “Release Price” shall mean the following: (A) for individual Garage Spaces, the greater of (i) 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds or (ii) $13,000; (B) for individual Carport Spaces, the greater of (i) 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds or (ii) $3,000; and (C) for Condominium Units, the greatest of: (i) 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds, or (ii) 91% of the Gross Sale Proceeds plus 100% of any Upgrade Profit associated with such Condominium Unit or (iii) 90% of the Minimum List Price plus any Upgrade Profit associated with such Condominium Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided the Mass Closing Requirement shall have been satisfied and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan, the Release Price for each remaining Condominium Unit shall be reduced (the “Reduced Release Price”) in accordance with the table set forth below when the Total Remaining Exposure Percentage is reduced. For purposes of this subsection “Total Remaining Exposure Percentage” shall mean the Total Remaining Exposure as a percentage of the Remaining Units Value.

(c) In the event that at any time during Loan Term: (i) the Obligations are reduced to zero and (ii) any portion of the Loan remains unfunded, the Release Price or Reduced Release Price, as the case may be, shall continue to be remitted to Lender but such amounts shall be placed in an interest-bearing account (with interest at Lender’s “ultimate money market” interest rate) established with Lender (the “Release Escrow”) as additional security for the Loan, and the proceeds therein shall be applied to reduce the Obligations as subsequent Advances of the Loan are disbursed. In the event that at any time the Lender’s unfunded commitment is terminated for any reason and all of the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, the proceeds held in the Release Escrow shall be released to Borrower and/or Mezzanine Lender.
Section 9.5 Application of Release Prices.
(a) Immediately upon the closing of any sale of a Condominium Unit, Borrower shall remit to Lender the Release Price or Reduced Release Price, as the case may be, and Lender shall release the Condominium Unit from the lien of the Mortgage.
(b) Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Release Price or Reduced Release Price, as the case may be, payments received by Lender pursuant to Section 9.5(a) shall be applied or paid on the date such funds are immediately available to Lender, as follows:
(i) First to repayment of the principal amount of the Loan until such principal shall have been fully paid;
41
(ii) Then, to pay any other Obligations.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and in addition to all other rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Lender may, at its option, apply all amounts paid to Lender under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document in such order and manner as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
Section 9.6 Prohibition on Sale or Refinance. Neither the Project nor any component thereof (including any appurtenant unit thereof), nor any interest therein, may be transferred, conveyed, sold or refinanced, except in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement, and no subordinate financing or replacement financing (except as permitted in the Note) of the Project may be effected unless Lender in its sole discretion consents thereto in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including Section 14.1(b)), any sale, transfer or assignment of a membership interest in Borrower without the prior written approval of Lender shall, at the option of Lender, constitute an Event of Default under the Loan, in which event, Lender may declare the entire indebtedness to be immediately due and payable and foreclose immediately or at any time after such Event of Default occurs. In addition, once approved by Lender (which shall be deemed effective as of the Closing Date), there shall be no material modification of the ownership, management or economic interest of the parties constituting the Borrower, whether direct or indirect, without Lender’s prior written consent, except for a Permitted Transfer.
Section 9.7 Upgrades. In the event a Valid Sale Contract contains Upgrades and the deposit (“Upgrade Deposits”) for the cost of such Upgrades made by the Condominium Unit purchaser is insufficient to cover the costs of such Upgrades, the Loan will be considered “out of balance” (as more particularly described in Section 7.1 hereof) in the amount of the shortfall and shall require a deposit of an Additional Equity Contribution. Such Additional Equity Contribution shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days after the date of the execution of the Valid Sale Contract containing the Upgrade.
ARTICLE 10
TAX ESCROW
Section 10.1 Deposits for Taxes. Beginning on the thirteenth (13th) month anniversary of the Closing Date and on the first (lst) day of each and every month thereafter, Borrower shall, in order to assure that there are sufficient funds to pay Taxes as and when the same shall become due and payable, deposit with Lender in a non-interest bearing account (the “Tax Escrow Account”) an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of 100% of the annual Taxes next to become due upon the Real Estate; provided that in the case of the first such deposit, there shall be deposited, in addition, an amount which, when added to the aggregate amount of monthly sums next payable under this Section 10.1, will result in a sufficient reserve to pay the Taxes next becoming due one month prior to the date when such Taxes are, in fact, due and payable pursuant to applicable Laws. The amount of such deposits (herein generally called “Tax Deposits”) shall be based upon Lender’s reasonable estimate as to the amount of Taxes next to be payable. Failure of the Borrower to make such Tax Deposits shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan.
42
Section 10.2 Application of Tax Deposit.
(a) The monthly Tax Deposit shall be paid in a payment each month, to be applied, so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder and is continuing, to payment of Taxes.
(b) It shall be the responsibility of Borrower to furnish Lender with the bills for the Taxes not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the same are due and payable in order for such bills to be timely paid when due and payable. If the total Tax Deposit on hand shall not be sufficient to pay all of the Taxes when the same shall become due, then Borrower shall deliver to Lender at the time of the submission of the bills to Lender as above an amount equal to the deficiency. If the total of such Tax Deposit exceeds the amount required to pay the Taxes, such excess shall be credited against subsequent payments to be made for such deposits.
(c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, and in addition to all other rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Lender may, at its option, without being required do to so and to the extent permitted by law, apply any Tax Deposits on hand to any of the Obligations, in such order and manner as Lender may elect in its discretion. When the Obligations have been fully paid and performed, as the case may be, any remaining Tax Deposits shall be paid to Borrower. All Tax Deposits are hereby pledged as additional security for the Obligations, and shall be held by Lender to be irrevocably applied for the purposes for which made as herein provided, and shall not be subject to the direction or control of Borrower.
(d) Provided that Borrower shall furnish the bills for the Taxes and the amount of any deficiency on or before the time required for such delivery as provided in Section 10.2(b) hereof, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and be continuing, Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such bills to be paid on or before the dates on which the bills are due and payable in order to take advantage of the maximum allowable discount without premium or penalty, and if Lender fails to timely pay the Taxes under those circumstances, Lender shall be responsible for penalties and interest assessed for late payments.
ARTICLE 11

If Borrower shall fail promptly to discharge any mechanics’ lien claim filed or otherwise asserted or to contest any such claims and give security or indemnity in the manner provided in Section 11.3 hereof, or, having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security or indemnity, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or fail to maintain such indemnity or security so required by the Title Insurer for its full amount, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be promptly released, then, and in any such event, Lender may at its election (but shall not be required to), with prior written notice to Borrower (i) procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon, without inquiring into or investigating the amount, validity or enforceability of such lien or claim and (ii) effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute advances under the Note.

Borrower shall proceed diligently and make regular progress toward completion of the Project, which progress shall be reviewed and approved by Lender in its sole discretion. The failure of Borrower to comply with this Section 11.5 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Loan and Lender shall have the right to terminate any obligations to fund additional Loan proceeds.
Section 11.6 Renewal of Insurance. Borrower shall timely pay premiums on all insurance policies required under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document from time
44
to time; and when and as additional insurance is required from time to time during the Loan Term and when and as any policies of insurance may expire, (i) prior to the expiration of any such policies furnish to Lender evidence of their renewal and (ii) not later than thirty (30) days following the renewal of such policies furnish to Lender, additional and renewal insurance policies (or certified copies thereof) issued by companies, and with coverage and amounts, reasonably satisfactory to Lender. In the event of Borrower’s Default under this Section 11.6 or Article 8 hereof, or if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to place and maintain insurance required to be placed and maintained by Borrower hereunder and treat the amounts expended therefor as additional indebtedness hereunder and under the Note.
Section 11.7 Payment of Taxes. If at any time the monthly Tax Deposit is insufficient to pay all of the Taxes when the same shall become due, then Borrower shall pay such amount as required by Lender to pay all Taxes upon or with respect to the Project or any part thereof when same are due and payable, but subject to any right to contest such Taxes as expressly permitted by the Mortgage and in the manner expressly permitted by the Mortgage.
Section 11.8 Personal Property.

Borrower shall have the right to sell obsolete or damaged and unusable tangible personal property, so long as all of the proceeds thereof shall be used to replace such tangible personal property or to pay the Obligations.
Section 11.9 Proceedings. If any Proceedings are filed seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent or declare unlawful the conversion to a condominium regime, use, occupancy, operation or maintenance of the Project or any portion thereof, or any other proceedings of the nature described in Section 5.1(g) of this Agreement are filed, Borrower shall give immediate notice thereof to Lender and, to the extent permitted by law and at its sole expense (i) cause such proceedings to be vigorously contested in good faith and (ii) in the event of an adverse ruling or decision, prosecute all good faith and allowable appeals therefrom. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall resist the entry or seek the stay of any temporary or permanent injunction that may be entered and use its best efforts to bring about a favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings, as well as any other proceedings of the nature described in Section 5.1(g) of this Agreement.
Section 11.10 Post-Construction Alterations. Other than the Work, Borrower shall not make any material alterations to the Project without the prior written consent of Lender.

45
such purposes as aforesaid for their own protection only and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other party for any purposes whatever; and neither Lender nor any of Lender’s agents or independent contractors shall be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or any other party with respect to any such action herein authorized or taken by Lender or such agents or independent contractors. Any review, investigation or inspection conducted by Lender or any agent or representative of Lender in order to verify independently Borrower’s satisfaction of any conditions precedent to the closing of the Loan under this Agreement, Borrower’s performance of any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, or the truth of any representations and warranties made by Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (regardless of whether or not the party conducting such review, investigation or inspection should have discovered that any of such conditions precedent were not satisfied or that any such covenants, agreements or obligations were not performed or that any such representations or warranties were not true), shall not affect (or constitute a waiver by Lender of) (i) any of Borrower’s representations and warranties under this Agreement or Lender’s reliance thereon, or (ii) Lender’s reliance upon any certifications of Borrower or any other person or entity required under this Agreement or any other facts, information or reports furnished to Lender by Borrower or other parties hereunder.
Section 11.12 Furnishing Information. Borrower will:
(a) promptly supply Lender with such information concerning its affairs and properties relating to the ownership, conversion to a condominium regime, use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of the Project and the Land as Lender may hereafter request from time to time, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, copies of such utility bills, real estate tax bills and insurance bills as Lender may request;
(b) promptly notify Lender of any condition or event which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default of any term, condition, warranty, representation or provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents; and

Section 11.14 Furnishing Reports. Borrower shall, upon request by Lender, provide Lender promptly after receipt with copies of all material written inspections, reports, test results, and management reports received by Borrower from time to time from its employees, agents, representatives, architects, engineers, contractors and any other parties involved in the operation, maintenance and conversion to a condominium regime of the Project, which in any way relate to

the Project, the operation of the Project, or any part thereof, including, without limitation, the ADA Plan and the budget for same.
Section 11.15 Leases and Lease Reports.
(a) Borrower shall not enter into any Leases without Lender’s prior written consent.

In addition, any new Leases or modifications to existing leases shall be pursuant to the standard form of Lease approved by Lender. All Leases shall have terms of no more than twelve (12) months. All space tenants shall be required at Lender’s election to execute estoppel certificates and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements in the scope, form, substance and legal sufficiency as Lender shall determine.
(b) In the event there is a letter of credit given by a tenant to Borrower, such letter of credit shall be assigned and delivered to, and held by, Lender, subject to the applicable restrictions on the use or liquidation of such instruments as are set forth in the applicable Lease. The security interest in the letter of credit must be perfected by the issuing bank (and any intermediaty bank) acknowledging that the proceeds of any draw shall be paid to Lender. The form of such assignment shall be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. In the event of a default under a Lease secured by a letter of credit or other security, Borrower shall be allowed by the Lease and required by this provision of the Loan Agreement to draw upon the letter of credit or the other security, as the case may be, to the extent permitted by the Lease and deposit the proceeds into a pledged account with Lender, disbursements from which will be made only for Project expenditures such as debt service, operating expenses, tenant improvements and leasing commissions for new/placement tenants.
Section 11.16 Furnishing Notices.

47
complete such corrections. Upon Borrower acquiring knowledge of such defect (other than as a result of written notice to Borrower from Lender), Borrower shall promptly advise Lender in writing of such matter and the measures being taken to make such corrections along with an estimate of the time of completion.
Section 11.18 No Additional Debt. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable for any indebtedness (whether personal or nonrecourse, secured or unsecured, and whether owed to a third party or to an Affiliate) other than:
(a) Indebtedness to Lender arising under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents;

(c) Indebtedness in respect of Taxes to the extent that payment therefore shall not, at the time, be required to be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7 hereof (but nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to permit Borrower to borrow funds or incur other indebtedness to pay such Taxes); and

Borrower further agrees not to release or dispose, or allow the release or disposal, of any Hazardous Material at the Land in violation of any applicable Laws. Lender shall have the right at any time during the Loan Term (but not more often than once per annum unless an Event of Default has occurred or Lender has, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, reasonable cause to believe that either a release of Hazardous Materials or a violation of Environmental Laws has occurred on or with respect to the Land), following notice to Borrower, to conduct an environmental audit of the Land and Borrower shall cooperate in the conduct of such environmental audit. Borrower shall give Lender and its agents and its employees access to the Land to remove Hazardous Material and Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all loss, costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (based upon services rendered at hourly rates) and costs, damage (including consequential damages), and expenses Lender may sustain by reason of the assertion against Lender by any party of any claim in connection with such Hazardous Material. The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of the Note, and shall be in addition to the separate indemnity and other agreements contained in the environmental remediation and indemnification agreement executed and delivered by Borrower on the Closing Date.
Section 11.27 Asbestos. Borrower shall not install nor permit to be installed in the Project any product or material containing more than 0.1 percent asbestos by weight that when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure or any substance containing asbestos and deemed hazardous by Laws respecting such material, and with respect to any such material currently present in the Project shall promptly either (a) remove any material which such Laws deem hazardous and require to be removed or (b) otherwise comply with such federal and state Laws, at Borrower’s expense and sole risk. If Borrower shall fail to so remove or otherwise comply, Lender may declare an Event of Default under this Agreement and/or do whatever is necessary to eliminate said substances from the Project or otherwise comply with applicable Laws, and the costs thereof shall be added to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage (regardless of whether such indebtedness then increases the outstanding balance of the Note to an amount in excess of the face amount thereof). Borrower shall give Lender and its agents and employees access to the Project to remove such asbestos or substances. Borrower shall defend, indemnify, and save Lender harmless from all loss, costs, including attorneys’ fees (based upon services rendered at hourly rates) and costs, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses asserted or proven against Lender by any party, as a result of the presence of such substances, and any removal or compliance with Laws. The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of the Note.
Section 11.28 Transactions with Affiliates. Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with respect to the Project with any Affiliate, except in the ordinary course of business and except upon fair and reasonable terms which are fully disclosed to Lender and consented to in writing by Lender in its sole discretion, and such terms are no less favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person which is not an Affiliate. In seeking approval of any transaction with an Affiliate, Borrower shall disclose to Lender and identify such proposed transaction as an Affiliate transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that the sales agent for the Condominium Units and the Property Manager may be Affiliates of Borrower.

All insurance proceeds on the Project and all causes of action, claims, compensation, awards and recoveries for any damage to any part of the Project or for any damage or injury to the Project, for any loss or diminution in value of the same or any part thereof, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Lender may participate in any suits or proceedings relating to any such proceeds, causes of action, claims, compensation, awards or recoveries and Lender is hereby authorized, in its own name or in Borrower’s name, to adjust any loss covered by insurance claim or cause of action, and to settle or compromise any claim or cause of action in connection therewith, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender any instruments required to permit such participation. Lender shall apply any sums received by it under this Section 12.1 first to the payment of all of its out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in obtaining those sums, and then, Lender may elect, in Lender’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security, apply the remainder of such sums received pursuant to this Section 12.1 to the payment of the Obligations in whatever order Lender directs in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 12.2 Pre-Condominium Conversion. (a) If the damage to the Project (1) occurs prior to the conversion of the Project into a condominium regime pursuant to the Declaration in accordance with all applicable Laws, and (2) occurs prior to the closing of the sale
55
of the first Condominium Unit pursuant to a Valid Sale Contract in accordance with each of terms hereof, including, without limitation, Article 9 hereof, and (3) the cost and expenses to repair such damage to a condition at least equal to the condition existing prior to the casualty causing the loss or damage, as reasonably determined by Lender, is equal to or less than $2,000,000 in the aggregate, and (4) if:
(i) The insurance claim for the damage is adjusted within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage; and
(ii) No Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing; and
(iii) the Project can, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, with diligent restoration or repair, be returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty causing the loss or damage within nine (9) months after the receipt of insurance proceeds by either Borrower or Lender and at least nine (9) months prior to the Maturity Date or the current Extension; and
(iv) all necessary Governmental Approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Project; and
(v) there are sufficient sums available (through insurance proceeds and contributions by Borrower, the full amount of which shall, at Lender’s option, have been deposited with Lender to be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account) for such restoration or repair (including, without limitation, for any out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering payments on account of said restoration or repair) and for payment of all debt service on the Loan to become due and payable during such restoration or repair, and
(vi) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, an appraisal report in form and substance satisfactory to Lender appraising the value of the Project as so restored or repaired to be not less than the appraised value of the same considered by Lender in its determination to make the Loan; and
(vii) the economic feasibility of the Project after such restoration or repair will be such that income from its operation is reasonably anticipated to be sufficient to pay operating expenses of the same and the proportionate share of scheduled debt service on the Loan in full; and
(viii) Borrower so elects to rebuild or restore by written notice delivered to Lender within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the casualty,
then Lender shall, solely for the purposes of such restoration or repair, advance so much of the insurance claim proceeds which have been received, and any funds deposited by Borrower therefor, to Borrower for restoration and repair in the manner and upon such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion in accordance with Lender’s standard practices regarding construction advances, including, but not limited to, the prior approval by Lender of plans and specifications, contractors and form of construction contracts and the furnishing to Lender of permits, bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits
56
from contractors and subcontractors in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, with any remainder proportionately allocated for either return to Borrower or for application to a prepayment of the principal of the Loan, as the case may be. The determination of the portion of the remainder allocated for refund to Borrower and the portion of the remainder allocated to prepayment of the Loan shall be based upon the proportion of Borrower contributed funds and insurance proceeds used in restoration and repair of the Project.
(b) In all other cases, namely, in the event that the damage, as reasonably determined by Lender, involves a cost to repair which is greater than $2,000,000, or if Borrower does not elect to restore or repair the Project pursuant to Section 12.2(a) above, or if Borrower otherwise fails to meet the requirements of Section 12.2(a) above, as applicable, then, in any of such events, Lender shall have the right to elect, in Lender’s absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security, to accelerate the Obligations and declare the Obligations (without Prepayment Fee, as defined in the Note) to be immediately due and payable and promptly apply such sums received pursuant to this Section 12.2 to the payment of the Obligations (without Prepayment Fee, as defined in the Note) in whatever order Lender directs in its absolute discretion, with any remainder being paid to Borrower.
(c) Any reduction in the Obligations resulting from Lender’s application of any sums received by it hereunder shall take effect only when Lender actually receives such sums and applies such sums to the Obligations and, in any event, the unpaid portion of the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect and Borrower shall not be excused in the payment thereof. If Borrower has the right to, and Borrower elects to, restore or repair the Project after the occurrence of a casualty as provided above, Borrower shall promptly and diligently, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the insurance proceeds shall be sufficient for the purpose, restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Project as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such casualty in accordance with the foregoing provisions and Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender incurred in administering payments on account of said rebuilding, restoration or repair, provided that Lender makes such proceeds or award available for such purpose. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time such further instruments as may be requested by Lender to confirm the foregoing assignment to Lender of any award, damage, insurance proceeds, payment or other compensation. Lender is hereby irrevocably constituted and appointed the attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any indebtedness secured hereby is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof), with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section, to collect and receive any such awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in any proceedings therefor and to give receipts therefor.

57
then the Declaration shall govern the disposition of any insurance proceeds and restoration obligations; provided, however, Borrower hereby acknowledges that pursuant to the Assignment of Condominium Documents, Borrower has assigned to Lender all rights it may have to any insurance proceeds as the owner of any Condominium Units and has nominated and appointed Lender to exercise all voting rights accruing to Borrower under the Condominium Documents (as defined in the Assignment of Condominium Documents).

65
(c) The Illinois Credit Agreements Act, 815 ILCS 160/1 et seq. shall apply to any action or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lender contained in this Agreement may be waived by Lender, provided, however, that to the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any conditions precedent to the closing of the Loan, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of such requirements.
Section 17.7 Disclaimer bv Lender.

Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in the erection of appropriate signage at the Project advertising the financing of the Project by Lender.
Section 17.17 Non-recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary, other than with respect to Borrower, its successors, assigns and all of Borrower’s assets as a sole purpose entity, the Loan shall be non-recourse with respect to each Guarantor, any direct and indirect constituent members, partners and shareholders of Borrower, and any of their respective officers, directors and principals.
