claim giving rise to the asserted mortgage, lien, pledge, security interest,
encumbrance or charge.

(i) Borrower shall not enter into Leases other than those approved by
Lender or for which the approval of Lender is not required under Paragraph 10.4

appears at any time or from time to time that the unadvanced Loan proceeds will
be insufficient to (a) pay all costs to be incurred in connection with the
completion of the development of the Trust Property and the construction,
marketing, ownership, management, maintenance, operation and sale or leasing of
the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and with this Agreement, (b) pay
all sums which may accrue under the Loan Documents prior to completion of

interest bearing account, need not be segregated from any of Lender's other
funds and may be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Documents by Lender before Lender makes any further advances on the Note.

ARTICLE 4
INSPECTION
----------
4.1 Right of Inspection: Lender, through its officers, agents or
-------------------
employees, shall have the right at all reasonable times at Borrower's expense:
14
(a) To enter upon the Trust Property and inspect the construction to
determine that it is in conformity with the Plans and all the requirements
hereof; and
(b) To examine, copy and make extracts of the books, records,
accounting data and other documents of Borrower that relate in any way to the
Trust Property, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
permits, licenses, consents and approvals of all Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction over Borrower or the Trust Property and, to the extent the Borrower
has the power to do so or can provide assistance, all relevant books and records
of contractors and subcontractors supplying goods and/or services in connection
with the construction of the Improvements. All such books, records and documents
of Borrower shall be made available to Lender promptly upon written demand
therefor; and, at the request of Lender, Borrower shall furnish Lender with
convenient facilities for the foregoing purpose.
4.2 No Duty to Inspect: It is expressly understood and agreed that Lender
------------------
shall have no duty to supervise or to inspect the construction of the
Improvements or any books and records of any party or firm, and that any such
inspection shall be for the sole purposes of determining whether or not the
Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement are being properly discharged and
of preserving Lender's rights hereunder. If Lender, or the Independent
Inspecting Architect acting on behalf of Lender, should inspect the construction
of the Improvements or any books and records, Lender and the Independent
Inspecting Architect shall have no liability or obligation to Borrower or any
third party arising out of such inspection. Inspection not followed by notice of
default shall not constitute an acknowledgment or representation by Lender and
the Independent Inspecting Architect that there has been or will be compliance
with the Plans or that the construction is free from defective materials or
workmanship nor shall it constitute a waiver of Lender's right thereafter to
insist that the Improvements be constructed in accordance with the Plans.
Lender's failure to inspect the construction of the Improvements or any part
thereof or any books and records shall not constitute a waiver of any of
Lender's rights hereunder. Neither Borrower nor any third party shall be
entitled to rely upon any such inspection or review. Lender and the Independent
Inspecting Architect owe no duty of care to Borrower or any third person to
protect against, or inform Borrower or any third person of the existence of,
negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the
Improvements.
4.3 Borrower's Responsibilities: Borrower shall be solely responsible for
---------------------------
all aspects of Borrower's business and conduct in connection with the Trust
Property and Improvements, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing:
(a) the quality and suitability of the Plans;
(b) supervision of construction of the Improvements;
15
(c) the qualifications, financial condition and performance of all
architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers,
consultants, and property managers;
(d) conformance of construction of the Improvements to the Plans, to
the Legal Requirements and to the requirements of this Agreement;
(e) the quality and suitability of all materials and workmanship;
and
(f) the accuracy of all requests for the disbursement of Loan proceeds
and the proper application of disbursed Loan proceeds.
4.4 Inspection Fee: In furtherance of Lender's rights hereunder, Lender
--------------
may, at its option, (a) require an inspection of the Trust Property by the
Independent Inspecting Architect (i) prior to each advance; (ii) at least once
each month during the course of construction even though no advance is to be
made for that month; (iii) upon Completion of the Improvements, and (iv) at
least semi-annually thereafter; and (b) require costing and a review of the
Plans for the Base Building and for tenant spaces of 20,000 rentable square feet
or more by the Independent Supervising Architect and/or a cost engineering
specialist, or any other party contracted by Lender resulting from a review or
reviews of the initial Plans and all revisions thereof as submitted from time to
time by Borrower. Borrower shall pay all fees incurred by Lender in connection
with this Paragraph 4.4. Furthermore, if Lender determines in connection with
any such costing, review or inspection that extra services will be required of
the Independent Inspecting Architect as a result of noncompliance with the
Plans, or with any Legal Requirement or as a result of deviations from
acceptable construction practices, or as a result of Borrower's failure to
satisfy the requirements of or any other Agreement, the Borrower shall pay, in
addition to the fees for such costing, review of the Plans and inspections, the
cost of all such extra services.

or hereafter furnished to Lender is or will be a true and complete copy thereof

due Lender on account of the Loan (including interest and other amounts required
under the Loan Documents), without the necessity of any disbursement request or
other action by Borrower. In no event shall any such disbursement be
25
construed as a waiver of any Event of Default or any other condition to any
other disbursements to or for the benefit of Borrower.
6.6. Third-Party Beneficiaries: All conditions precedent to Lender's
-------------------------
obligation to make advances hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for

of such conditions may be freely waived (in whole or in part) by Lender at any
time or times.

made by Borrower or others in, under or pursuant to the Loan Documents or any
affidavit or other instrument executed in connection with the Loan Documents
shall be false or misleading in any material respect as of the date hereof

creditworthiness of the party to whom such Disposition will be made and its
management with respect to the Trust Property, (ii) consider whether or not the
security for repayment of the Indebtedness and the performance of the
Obligations, or Lender's ability to enforce its rights, remedies and recourses
with respect to such security, will be impaired in any way by the proposed
Disposition, (iii) require as a condition to granting such consent, an increase
in the rate of interest payable under the Note or any other change in the terms
and provisions of the Note and other Loan Documents, (iv) require that Lender be
reimbursed for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in investigating the
creditworthiness and management ability of the party to whom such Disposition
will be made and in determining whether Lender's security will be impaired by
the proposed Disposition, (v) require the payment to Lender of a transfer fee to
cover the cost of documenting the Disposition in its records, (vi) require the
payment of its reasonable attorney's fees in connection with such Disposition,

For these purposes, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which appointment shall

secured by the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE 9
GENERAL TERMS AND PROVISIONS
----------------------------
9.1 Performance at Borrower's Expense: Without in any way limiting
---------------------------------
Paragraph 8.1 hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand all
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with: (a) the preparation of
this Agreement and any and all other Loan Documents contemplated hereby
(including any amendments hereto or thereto or consents, releases or waivers
hereunder or thereunder); (b) the administration of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents for the term of the Note as provided for in the Loan Documents;
and (c) the enforcement or satisfaction by Lender of any of Borrower's
Obligations under this Agreement or under the Loan Documents. For all purposes
of this Agreement, Lender's costs and expenses shall include, without
limitation, all appraisal fees incurred in connection with the making of the
Loan described in the Loan Documents or the extension of the Maturity Date as
provided for in the Note, the cost of engineering and inspection fees,
architectural fees, legal fees (including, without limitation, fees for trial,
appeal or other proceedings), accounting fees, environmental consultant fees (if
any), auditor fees, and the cost to Lender of any documentary taxes, recording
fees, brokerage fees, title insurance premiums and title surveys. In addition,
Borrower recognizes and agrees that formal written appraisals of the Trust
Property by a licensed independent appraiser may be required by federal
regulatory reporting requirements on an annual and/or specialized basis and,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, by Lender's internal procedures,
and Borrower shall pay such costs if Lender incurs them. Except to the extent
that certain of these costs and expenses are included within the definition of
Indebtedness, the payment by Borrower of any of these costs and expenses shall
not be credited, in any way or to any extent, against any portion of the
Indebtedness.
31
9.2 Brokerage Fees and Commissions: Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender
------------------------------
from any responsibility and/or liability for the payment of any commission,
charge, or brokerage fee which may be payable to any party in connection with
the Loan, it being understood that all such charges, if any, will be paid by the
Borrower. Lender agrees that it has not engaged any broker in connection with
this Loan.
9.3 Time: Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each provision
----
hereof of which time is an element.
9.4 Attorneys' Fees: If Lender finds it necessary to obtain the services
---------------
of an attorney to collect all or any portion of the principal of the Note or
enforce any of its rights under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay such
reasonable attorneys' fees (except in connection with the enforcement of its
rights under the Loan Documents), whether or not suit is brought, or if brought,
prosecuted to judgment.
9.5 Intentionally Deleted
9.6 Approval of Lender and Further Assurances: Except as may be otherwise
-----------------------------------------
specifically provided in the Loan Documents, all instruments of insurance to be
executed and/or delivered to Lender, and all procedures to be taken in
connection with this Agreement and the Loan provided for herein, and all persons
or parties responsible in any way for the construction of the Improvements
pursuant to any of the Construction Contracts or any obligation to be performed
hereunder, or under the other Loan Documents, shall be subject to the acceptance
of Lender as to form, substance, coverage and identity. Immediately upon request
of Lender, Borrower will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such further
instruments and do such further acts as Lender may deem necessary to carry out
more effectively the purpose of this Agreement or to subject to the liens and
security interests of the Loan Documents any property intended by the terms
thereof to be covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation,
any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, betterments or
appurtenances to the Trust Property.
9.7 No Waiver: Any failure by Lender to insist, or any election by Lender
---------
not to insist, upon Borrower's (or any of them) strict performance of any of the
terms, provisions or conditions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of same or of any other term, provision or condition thereof and Lender
shall have the right at any time thereafter to insist upon strict performance by
Borrower of any and all of same. In particular, no advance by Lender of any Loan
proceeds hereunder notwithstanding Borrower's failure to strictly comply with
Article 6 hereinabove shall, in any way, preclude Lender from thereafter
declaring such failure to comply to be a default or an Event of Default
hereunder as may be provided with respect to such failure.
9.8 Modification: This Agreement shall not be amended, waived, discharged
------------
or terminated orally but only by an instrument executed by the party
32
against enforcement of the amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought.
9.9 Applicable Law: This Agreement has been executed under, and shall be
--------------
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia from time to time in effect; except to the extent superseded by United
States federal law. This Agreement and all of the Loan Documents are intended
to be performed in accordance with and only to the extent permitted by, all
applicable Legal Requirements, but the foregoing shall not be construed to limit
the terms of the Loan Documents by application of any provision of Borrower's
Articles of Incorporation, By-laws, or Partnership, Limited Partnership, Joint
Venture, Trust, Articles of Organization, Operating Agreement or other form of
business association agreement. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the
intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with the applicable law now
or hereafter governing the interest payable on the Indebtedness. If the
applicable law is ever revised, repealed or judicially interpreted so as to
render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the Loan
Documents or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect
to the Indebtedness, or if Lender's exercise of the option herein contained to
accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness, or if any prepayment by Borrower
results in Borrower's having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by
applicable law, then it is Borrower's and Lender's express intent that all
excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender be credited to the principal
balance of the Note or any other principal indebtedness of Borrower to Lender
(or, if the Note and all of such other indebtedness have been paid or would
thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note,
the Deed of Trust, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents immediately be
deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder
reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to
comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the
fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder. All sums paid or
agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the
Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness
until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such
indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Indebtedness, if any, for so long as the Indebtedness is
outstanding.
9.10 Severability: If any provision hereof or of any of the other Loan
-------------
Documents or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for
any reasons and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, neither the
application of such provision to any other person or circumstance, nor the
remainder of the instrument in which such provisions is contained, shall be
affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted
by law.
9.11 Rights, Remedies and Recourses Cumulative: All rights, remedies and
-----------------------------------------
recourses afforded Lender by the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or
in equity, including specifically, but without limitation, those granted by the
33
Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the Commonwealth of Virginia (a) shall be
deemed cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or
concurrently against Borrower or anyone else obligated under any or all of the
Loan Documents, or against the Trust Property, or against any one or more of
them, at the sole discretion of Lender, (c) may be exercised as often as the
occasion therefor shall arise, it being understood by Borrower that the
exercise, failure to exercise or election to exercise any of the same shall in
no event be construed as a waiver of same or of any other right, remedy or
recourse available to Lender, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be,
nonexclusive.
9.12 Successors and Assigns: This Agreement shall be binding upon and
----------------------
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
successors, legal representatives and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower
may not assign, transfer or in any way hypothecate its interest in the Loan
Documents or the Trust Property (or any portion thereof) without Lender's prior
written consent.
9.13 Notices: All notices or other communications required or permitted to
-------
be given pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be considered as properly given if mailed by first class United States
mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, or
sent by Federal Express or other overnight delivery service, or by delivering
same in person to the intended addressee, or by prepaid telegram. Notice so
mailed shall be effective upon its receipt. For purposes of notice, the
addresses of the parties shall be as set forth below, provided, however, that
either party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to
any other location within the continental United States by the giving of fifteen
(15) business days' notice to the other party in the manner set forth
hereinabove.

transfer, assign or grant participations in any Loan or in any Loan Documents
that Borrower or the partners or joint venturers of Borrower have entered into,
executed, or granted in favor of Lender, and Lender may forward to each
participant and prospective participant all documents and information relating
to any such Loan, whether furnished by Borrower or otherwise, as Lender
determines necessary or desirable.
9.15 Lender's Right to Perform the Obligations: If Borrower shall fail,
-----------------------------------------
refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan
Documents, then Lender at any time thereafter and in any circumstance where
Lender determines that an emergency exists with simultaneous or prompt notice
thereafter to or demand upon Borrower and in other circumstances with notice to
Borrower and Borrowers' failure to cure such failure, refusal or neglect within
thirty (30) days of such notice, and without waiving or releasing any other
right, remedy or recourse Lender may have because of same, may (but shall not be
obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and the
expense of Borrower, and shall have the right to enter the Land and Improvements
for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the
Trust Property as it may deem necessary or appropriate and Borrower hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, which
appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest, to take the actions
described in this paragraph. If Lender shall elect to pay any statement,
invoice, tax xxxx or other sums due with reference to the Trust Property, Lender
may do so in reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment procured from the
appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring
into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to
protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Lender shall
not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse
title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the
purpose of preventing or removing the same. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for
all losses, expenses, damages, claims and causes of action, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Lender
pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 9.15 or pursuant to any other
provision in the Loan Documents, except those due to Lender's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. All sums paid by Lender pursuant to this Paragraph 9.15,
together with all other sums expended by Lender to which it shall be entitled to
be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined
in the Note) from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall constitute
advances on and additions to the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Loan
35
Documents and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Prior payment by
Lender shall not be a condition precedent to the obligations of Borrower under
this indemnity.
9.16 Taxes and Assessments. Subject to Borrower's right to contest as
---------------------
provided for under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall submit to Lender copies of
tax statements and adequate documentation evidencing the due and punctual
payment of all real estate and personal property taxes, charges and assessments
levied or imposed upon the Trust Property on or before ten (10) days of the due
date of any such taxes.
9.17 Waiver of Right to Trial By Jury. Each party to this Agreement
--------------------------------
hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action
or cause of action (1) arising under this Agreement or any other instrument,
document or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith, or (2) in
any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties
hereto or any of them with respect to this Agreement or any other instrument,
document or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith, or the
transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or
hereafter arising, and each party hereby agrees and consents that any such
claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without
a jury, and that any party to this Assignment may file an original counterpart
or a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the consent of
the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.
