No principal amount repaid by Borrower may be reborrowed by Borrower.

After notice to Borrower, Lender may, in Lender’s sole discretion, disburse Loan proceeds by journal entry to pay interest and financing costs and, following an uncured Event of Default, disburse Loan proceeds directly to third parties to pay costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement. Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender by journal entry to pay interest or financing costs, and Loan proceeds disbursed directly by Lender to pay costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute Advances to Borrower.

2.3 Allocations. The Allocations shall be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Budget.

Under no circumstances shall Borrower have the right to require Lender to disburse any amounts so allocated and Lender may impose such requirements and conditions as it deems prudent and necessary should it elect to disburse all or any portion of the amounts so allocated.

2.7 Withholding. Lender may withhold from an Advance or, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold from a later Advance under this Agreement or require Borrower to repay to Lender the whole or any part of any earlier Advance to such extent as may be necessary to protect the Lender from loss on account of (i) defective work not remedied or requirements of this Agreement not performed, (ii) liens filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of liens which are not bonded, (iii) failure of Borrower to make payments to the Contractor for material or labor, except as is permitted by the Construction Contract, or (iv) a reasonable doubt that the construction of the Improvements can be completed for the balance of the Loan then undisbursed.

(e) Written evidence shall be provided by Borrower and such evidence shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender indicating that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio then equals or exceeds 1.20:1.0 (calculated on the Determination Date immediately preceding the commencement of the First Extension Period); provided, however that Borrower shall have the right, at its option, to satisfy the condition set forth in this subsection by satisfying the DSCR/LTV Satisfaction Requirement; provided, further, (i) to the extent funds are deposited in the DSCR/LTV Account to satisfy the DSCR/LTV Satisfaction Requirement, all such funds shall remain in the DSCR/LTV Account until such time as no Event of Default exists and Borrower has delivered evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.20:1.00 (without any credit for the funds held in the DSCR/LTV Account), whereupon the funds will be released to Borrower, and (ii) to the extent the Borrower has delivered Lender a Letter of Credit to satisfy the DSCR/LTV Satisfaction Requirement, the Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, and Borrower shall cause the same to be renewed no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date thereof, until such time as no Event of Default exists and Borrower has delivered evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.20:1.00 (without any credit for the Letter of Credit), whereupon the Letter of Credit will be released to Borrower; and

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 20

opinion of Borrower, the applicable Contractor and the applicable Design Professional, construction of the Improvements can be completed on or before the Completion Date for an additional cost not in excess of the amount then available under the Loan. To the extent approved by Lender and included in the Budget, such expenses will be paid from the proceeds of the Loan.

(k) Except in connection with the Prior Land Loan Refinance Advance, Borrower shall have furnished to Lender, from each Contractor and each subcontractor and/or materialmen providing labor and or supplies or materials to Contractor or a subcontractor for the Mortgaged Property, an invoice, lien waiver (on the statutory form) and such other instruments and documents as Lender may from time to time specify, in form and content, and containing such certifications, approvals and other data and information, as Lender may reasonably require.

(r) Borrower shall have fully completed (to the extent applicable), signed, notarized and delivered to Lender the Draw Request.

(s) The Loan shall be “in balance” as provided in Section 3.4 (i.e., the unfunded Loan proceeds and any portion of the Borrower’s equity not yet expended are not sufficient to complete construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and pay for all costs of construction in connection therewith), and if Lender requires a Borrower’s Deposit in accordance with Section 3.4 below, then (x) Borrower shall have made such Borrower’s Deposit with Lender as provided thereunder and (y) Borrower shall have collaterally assigned such Borrower’s Deposit to Lender to put the Loan in balance by executing an assignment satisfactory to Lender.

(t) Borrower shall have funded all Borrower equity requirements indicated on the Budget.

3.3 Advance Not A Waiver. No Advance of the proceeds of the Loan shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make further Advances, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default.

3.4 Borrower’s Deposit. If at any time after Borrower has met its funding requirements under Section 3.1(l) above with respect to its required cash equity, Lender shall in its sole discretion deem that the undisbursed proceeds of the Loan are insufficient to meet the costs of completing construction of the Improvements, including without limitation, any and all Soft Costs for the Improvements, Lender may refuse to make any additional Advances to Borrower hereunder until Borrower shall have deposited with Lender sufficient additional funds (“Borrower’s Deposit”) to cover the deficiency which Lender deems to exist. Such Borrower’s Deposit will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof as if they constituted a portion of the Loan being made hereunder prior to any further Advances of the Loan proceeds. Borrower agrees upon fifteen (15) days written demand by Lender to deposit with Lender such Borrower’s Deposit. Lender agrees that the Borrower’s Deposit shall be placed in an interest-bearing account. Borrower hereby grants a security interest to Lender in and to the Borrower’s Deposit and such account, and agrees that at any time during the existing of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to offset any Borrower’s Deposit against the Indebtedness then outstanding, in addition to any and all other remedies provided under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.

3.5 Advance Not An Approval. The making of any Advance or part thereof shall not be deemed an approval or acceptance by Lender of the work theretofore done. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance or part thereof after the happening of any Event of Default, but shall have the right and option so to do; provided that if Lender elects to make any such Advance, no such

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 22

Advance shall be deemed to be either a waiver of the right to demand payment of the Loan, or any part thereof, or an obligation to make any other Advance.

3.6 Time and Place of Advances. All Advances are to be made at the office of Lender, or at such other place as Lender may designate; and Lender shall require five (5) Business Days prior notice in writing before the making of any such Advance. Lender shall not be obligated to undertake any Advance hereunder more than once in any 30‑day period. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all Advances are to be made by direct deposit into the Special Account. In the event Borrower shall part with or be in any manner whatever deprived of Borrower’s interests in the Land, Lender may, at Lender’s option but without any obligation to do so, continue to make Advances under this Agreement, and subject to all its terms and conditions, to such Person or Persons as may succeed to Borrower’s title and interest and all sums so disbursed shall be deemed Advances under this Agreement and secured by the Deed of Trust and all other liens or security interests securing the Loan.

3.7 Retainage. An amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost of construction of the Improvements (“Retainage”) shall be retained by Lender and shall be paid over by Lender to Borrower, provided that no lien claims are then filed against the Mortgaged Property, when all of the following have occurred to the satisfaction of Lender with respect to those Improvements covered by a Construction Contract:

(a) Lender has received a completion certificate prepared by the Inspecting Person and executed by Borrower and the Design Professional stating that the Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, together with such other evidence that no mechanics or materialmen’s liens or other encumbrances have been filed and remain in effect against the Mortgaged Property which have not been bonded to Lender’s satisfaction (and otherwise in accordance with all applicable Governmental Requirements) and that all offsite utilities and streets, if any, have been completed to the satisfaction of Lender and any applicable Governmental Authority;

(b) each applicable Governmental Authority shall have duly inspected and approved the Improvements and issued the appropriate permit, license or certificate to evidence such approval;

(c) forty (40) days shall have elapsed from the later of (i) the date of completion of the Improvements, as specified in Texas Property Code §53.106, if the Affidavit of Completion provided for in this Agreement is filed within ten (10) days after such date of completion, or (ii) the date of filing of such Affidavit of Completion if such Affidavit of Completion is filed ten (10) days or more after the date of the completion of the Improvements as specified in Texas Property Code §53.106;

(d) receipt by Lender of an as-built ALTA survey of the Mortgaged Property, in form reasonably acceptable to Lender; and

(e) receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that payment in full has been made for all obligations incurred in connection with the construction and completion of

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 23

all off‑site utilities and improvements (if any) as required by Lender or any Governmental Authority.

3.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party, nor shall this Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any materialmen, subcontractors, contractors, laborers or others for goods and materials supplied or work and labor furnished in connection with the construction of the Improvements or for debts or claims accruing to any such Persons against Borrower. Lender shall not be liable for the manner in which any Advances under this Agreement may be applied by Borrower, Contractor and any of Borrower’s other contractors or subcontractors. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties hereto, before or after signing the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any rights, claims or causes of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier of labor or materials, or any of their respective creditors, or any other Person other than Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Advances made to any contractor, subcontractor or supplier of labor or materials, pursuant to any requests for Advances, whether or not such request is required to be approved by Borrower, shall not be deemed a recognition by Lender of a third‑party beneficiary status of any such Person.

3.9 Interest/Operating Reserve. Subject to the conditions to the making of Advances hereunder, Lender shall make an Advance of funds held in the Interest Reserve as necessary to pay interest on the Advances (up to a maximum aggregate of Advances of $952,614.47), which Advance shall constitute a principal Advance under the Loan, and such Advance shall be deemed to have been made at Borrower’s request; provided, however, Advances will only be made from the Interest Reserve to pay interest to the extent that the net cash flow received from the operation of the Mortgaged Property, after all operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property have been paid current, is insufficient to pay such interest. Further, subject to the conditions to the making of Advances hereunder, Lender shall make an Advance of funds held in the Operating Reserve as are necessary to pay operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property included in the Budget (up to a maximum aggregate of Advances of $150,000.00), which Advance shall constitute a principal Advance under the Loan, and such Advance shall be deemed to have been made at Borrower’s request; provided, however, (i) Advances will not be made to pay such operating expenses to the extent Lender reasonably determines such Advance may deplete the portion of the Operating Reserve attributable to interest payments such that sufficient reserves would no longer be available to pay such interest expenses, and (ii) Advances will only be made from the Operating Reserve to pay operating expenses to the extent that the net cash flow received from the operation of the Mortgaged Property, after all operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property have been paid current, is insufficient to pay such operating expenses and sufficient interest reserve remains to pay interest for the term of the Loan. Under no circumstances shall any undisbursed proceeds of the Loan be disbursed to pay accrued interest thereon during the construction phase upon depletion of the balance of the Interest Reserve or Operating Reserve, or to the extent that revenues from the Mortgaged Property, after payment of all other operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property, are sufficient to pay the accrued interest or other amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon depletion of the Interest Reserve, Lender may make Advances of funds held in the Operating Reserve as necessary to pay interest on the Advances, which Advance shall constitute a principal Advance

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 24

under the Loan, and such Advance shall be deemed to have been made at Borrower’s request. For the avoidance of doubt, at no time shall funds held in the Interest Reserve be used to pay anything other than interest pursuant to the terms of this Section. In lieu of disbursing Loan proceeds to Borrower for payment of accrued interest thereon during the construction phase, Lender may handle such disbursement and payment by making appropriate entries on the books and records of Lender, whereupon a statement summarizing such entries shall be furnished to Borrower.

3.10 Additional Expenditures by Lender. Borrower agrees that all sums paid or expended by Lender under the terms of this Agreement in excess of the amount of the Loan shall be considered to be an additional loan to Borrower and the repayment thereof, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), from the date of demand by Lender until the date paid, shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within ten (10) days of written notice to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to pay such sum upon demand. Nothing contained herein, however, shall obligate Lender to make such advances. In addition to the foregoing, if Borrower fails to perform any act or to take any action or to pay any amount provided to be paid by it under the provisions of any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender may but shall not be obligated to perform or cause to be performed such act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so incurred by Lender and any money so paid by Lender shall be an advance against the Note and shall bear interest from the date of making such payment until paid at the Default Rate and shall be part of the Indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust, and Lender upon making any such payment shall be subrogated to all rights of the Person receiving such payment. Lender will endeavor to promptly notify Borrower of such amounts paid by Lender hereunder, but Lender’s failure to do so shall not create or give rise to any liability on Lender’s part or impair or affect any of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

5.24 Single Purpose Entity. Borrower shall be a single purpose entity at all times, the only business of which is the construction, financing, ownership, maintenance and operation of the Mortgaged Property and other assets directly related to the operation of the Mortgaged Property, and always be in compliance with its Limited Partnership Agreement.

To the extent assignable, within 30 days after the execution of each of the Development Participation Agreement and/or the TIRZ Agreement (or similar document), as applicable, Borrower shall also execute a collateral assignment of the Developer Participation Agreement or the TIRZ Agreement, as applicable, in form and substance acceptable to Lender.

5.27 DSCR/LTV Account.

(a) To the extent funds are deposited in the DSCR/LTV Account pursuant to Sections 2.8 or 2.9, the DSCR/LTV Account shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds. During the continuance of

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 32

an Event of Default, Lender may, at its sole discretion, apply at any time the balance in the DSCR/LTV Account against the Indebtedness in whatever order Lender shall subjectively determine. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and to the DSCR/LTV Account and all funds therein (and all proceeds thereof) as additional security to secure payment of the Note. Unless the same are applied by Lender to the Indebtedness during the continuance of an Event of Default, all such funds shall remain in the DSCR/LTV Account until the earlier to occur of (i) such time as all Indebtedness has been repaid in full, or (ii) Borrower has satisfied the applicable Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Loan-to-Value Ratio requirement as provided in this Agreement. Funds in the DSCR/LTV Account may not be used by Borrower for any purposes, including for debt service payments under the Loan.

(b) To the extent a Letter of Credit is delivered to Lender, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its sole discretion, present the Letter of Credit to the issuer thereof for payment and apply the proceeds thereof against the Indebtedness in whatever order Lender shall subjectively determine. Any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender shall remain outstanding at all times any of the Indebtedness remains outstanding and unpaid, and Borrower shall cause the same to be renewed no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date thereof. In the event that a Letter of Credit is not so renewed at least 30 days prior to the expiration date thereof in form and substance acceptable to Lender, then Lender may present the Letter of Credit for payment to the issuer thereof and hold the proceeds thereof in the DSCR/LTV Account and apply such proceeds in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The foregoing notwithstanding, such Letter of Credit will be released at such time that Borrower has satisfied the applicable Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Loan-to-Value Ratio requirement as provided in this Agreement.

5.28 Restricted Distributions and other Payments. All capital contributed to the Mortgaged Property shall remain in the Mortgaged Property until the Loan is paid off in full. During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall not make any distribution of assets to any holder of a partnership interest or other ownership interest in Borrower, whether or not such a distribution is permitted under the terms of Borrower's limited partnership agreement, including without limit return of capital contributions, repayment of any loans made to Borrower by any holder of a partnership interest or other ownership interest in Borrower, distributions upon termination, liquidation or dissolution of Borrower or any development, property management, accounting or other fees payable to any holder of a partnership interest or other ownership interest in Borrower that would constitute a return of capital contributed to the Borrower by a holder of a partnership interest or other ownership interest in Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall not at any time make a distribution of assets that would cause the Loan to constitute a high volatility commercial real estate ("HVCRE") exposure pursuant to Part 217 of Chapter II of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as modified by Section 214 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, Pub. L. No. 115-174, 132 Stat. 1296 (2018). If, at any time, for any reason, the Loan constitutes an HVCRE exposure pursuant to Part 217 of Chapter II of title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as so modified, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Loan or to reduce the return received by Lender in connection with the Loan, then, Lender, at its option, may immediately increase the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Note) to a rate determined

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 33

by Lender, in its sole discretion, that shall cause the Lender to receive the same return it would have received had the Loan not constituted an HVCRE exposure.

5.29 Partial Release. Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, obtain a Partial Release of a Release Parcel from the liens and all other interests of Lender existing by virtue of the Loan Documents upon satisfaction of all the following terms and conditions:

(a) Borrower shall have delivered written notice to Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of the Partial Release.

(b) No Event of Default shall exist and be continuing under the Loan Documents as of the date of notice in clause (a) above or on the date the Partial Release is to become effective.

(c) Lender shall have received any and all sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, and Borrower shall have paid to Lender for such Partial Release, on or before the date of the Partial Release, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Release Price, and (ii) any LIBOR breakage costs then due and payable (if any) as determined by Lender with respect to the portion of the principal so prepaid.

(d) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender that: (i) the portion of the Property not being released (the “Remaining Property”) and the Release Parcel are each comprised of one or more legal parcels lawfully created in compliance with all applicable legal requirements, including without limitation, those pertaining to subdivisions, plat, replats or other land divisions; (ii) the Remaining Property has the benefit of all utilities, easements, public and/or private streets, covenants, conditions and restrictions as may be necessary for the continued operation thereof in a manner satisfactory to Lender, including all ingress and egress to public rights-of-way which are necessary for the legal and efficient operation of the Property such that the Remaining Property is a separate, economically viable project and otherwise complies (and will comply after the Partial Release) with all applicable legal requirements and otherwise in a manner acceptable to Lender; and (iii) the Remaining Property has sufficient parking to comply with (x) the terms of all Leases covering the Remaining Property and (y) all applicable legal requirements.

(e) Upon the recording of the Partial Release, Borrower shall, use good faith, diligent efforts to cause the Release Parcel to constitute a separate tax lot with a separate tax assessment, independent of the Remaining Property, and shall in any event complete the foregoing no later than the end of the calendar year of the year of the Partial Release.

(f) At least ten (10) days prior to the date of the Partial Release, Borrower shall deliver to Lender at Borrower’s expense the form of the partial release to be executed by Lender (which form of release must be satisfactory to Lender in form and substance).

(g) At the time of the Partial Release, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith (including reasonable attorney’s fees and

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 34

expenses) and Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and deliver to Lender an endorsement of the Title Insurance in form and content acceptable to the Lender.

(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to exercise its rights as owner under each Design Services Contract, provided that Borrower shall not cancel or amend any Design Services Contract or do or suffer to be done any act which would impair the security constituted by this assignment without the prior written consent of Lender.

(c) Any sums so received by Lender pursuant to this Section 6.4 may, in Lender’s sole discretion, be provided back to Borrower for restoration of the Mortgaged Property, in the amounts, manner, method and pursuant to such requirements in documents as Lender may require, or shall be applied to the liquidation of the Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Deed of Trust; provided, however, if Lender determines that the Mortgaged Property can be restored prior to the maturity date of the Note, and no Event of Default exists, then Lender will apply the proceeds to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property.

of Borrower to cure or bond over a mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien in accordance with this Agreement.

7.2 Remedies. Lender shall have the right, during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights or remedies available to it under all other Loan Documents, to enter into possession of the Mortgaged Property, to succeed Borrower as the Landlord of the Required Lease and/or to perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. All amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been disbursed to Borrower as Loan proceeds and secured by the Deed of Trust. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) Lender as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney‑in‑fact, with full power of substitution to complete the Improvements in the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers Lender, acting as Borrower’s attorney‑in‑fact, as follows: to use any funds of Borrower, including any balance which may be held in escrow, any Borrower’s Deposit and any funds which may remain unadvanced hereunder, for the purpose of completing the Improvements in the manner called for by the Plans and Specifications; to make such additions and changes and corrections in the Plans and Specifications which shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in the manner contemplated by

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 41

the Plans and Specifications; to continue all or any existing construction contracts or subcontracts; to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, design professionals and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Mortgaged Property, or may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the work or the clearing of title; to execute all the applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any construction contract; and to do any and every act with respect to the Required Lease and construction of the Improvements which Borrower could do in Borrower’s own behalf. Lender, acting as Borrower’s attorney‑in‑fact, shall also have power to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Mortgaged Property and to take such action and require such performance as is deemed necessary.

ARTICLE VIII
LENDER’S DISCLAIMERS ‑ BORROWER’S INDEMNITIES

8.1 No Obligation by Lender to Construct. Lender has no liability or obligation whatsoever or howsoever in connection with the Mortgaged Property or the development, construction or completion thereof or work performed thereon, and has no obligation except to disburse the Loan proceeds as herein agreed, Lender is not obligated to inspect the Improvements nor is Lender liable, and under no circumstances whatsoever shall Lender be or become liable, for the performance or default of any contractor or subcontractor, or for any failure to construct, complete, protect or insure the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or for the payment of any cost or expense incurred in connection therewith, or for the performance or nonperformance of any obligation of Borrower or Guarantor to Lender nor to any other Person without limitation. Nothing, including without limitation, any disbursement of Loan proceeds or the Borrower’s Deposit nor acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as such a representation or warranty, express or implied, on Lender’s part.

8.2 No Obligation by Lender to Operate. Any term or condition of any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender shall not have, and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement hereby expressly disclaims, any obligation or responsibility for the management, conduct or operation of the business and affairs of Borrower or Guarantor. Any term or condition of the Loan Documents which permits Lender to disburse funds, whether from the proceeds of the Loan, the Borrower’s Deposit or otherwise, or to take or refrain from taking any action with respect to Borrower, Guarantor, the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral for repayment of the Loan, shall be deemed to be solely to permit Lender to audit and review the management, operation and conduct of the business and affairs of Borrower and Guarantor, and to maintain and preserve the security given by Borrower to Lender for the Loan, and may not be relied upon by any other Person. Further, Lender shall not have, has not assumed and by its execution and acceptance of this Agreement hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for the payment or performance of any indebtedness or obligation of Borrower or Guarantor and no term or condition of the Loan Documents, shall be construed otherwise. Borrower hereby expressly acknowledges that no term or condition of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower, Guarantor and Lender to be other than that of borrower, guarantor and lender, and Borrower shall at all times represent that the relationship between Borrower, Guarantor and Lender is solely that of borrower, guarantor and lender. BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES AND AGREES TO HOLD LENDER

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 42

HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY COST, EXPENSE OR LIABILITY INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY LENDER AS A RESULT OF ANY ASSERTION OR CLAIM OF ANY OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY OF LENDER FOR THE MANAGEMENT, OPERATION AND CONDUCT OF THE BUSINESS AND AFFAIRS OF BORROWER OR GUARANTOR, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY ASSERTION OR CLAIM OF ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY OF LENDER FOR THE PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATION OF BORROWER OR GUARANTOR, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY COST, EXPENSE OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM ANY CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE BY LENDER, BUT NOT ANY COST, EXPENSE OR LIABILITY ARISING FROM LENDER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

8.3 INDEMNITY BY BORROWER. BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLDS EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT, INSOFAR AS SUCH LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR FROM ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES RESULTING FROM ANY CLAIMS OF NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE BY LENDER, BUT NOT ANY LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES ARISING FROM LENDER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. Without intending to limit the remedies available to Lender with respect to the enforcement of its indemnification rights as stated herein or as stated in any Loan Document, in the event any claim or demand is made or any other fact comes to the attention of Lender in connection with, relating or pertaining to, or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which Lender reasonably believes might involve or lead to some liability of Lender, Borrower shall, immediately upon receipt of written notification of any such claim or demand, assume in full the personal responsibility for and the defense of any such claim or demand and pay in connection therewith any loss, damage, deficiency, liability or obligation, including, without limitation, legal fees and court costs incurred in connection therewith. In the event of court action in connection with any such claim or demand, Borrower shall assume in full the responsibility for the defense of any such action and shall immediately satisfy and discharge any final decree or judgment rendered therein. Lender may, in its sole discretion, make any payments sustained or incurred by reason of any of the foregoing; and Borrower shall immediately repay to Lender, in cash and not with proceeds of the Loan, the amount of such payment, with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of such payment. Lender shall have the right to join Borrower as a party defendant in any legal action brought against Lender, and Borrower hereby consents to the entry of an order making Borrower a party defendant to any such action.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 43

8.4 No Agency. Nothing herein shall be construed as making or constituting Lender as the agent of Borrower in making payments pursuant to any construction contracts or subcontracts entered into by Borrower for construction of the Improvements or otherwise. The purpose of all requirements of Lender hereunder is solely to allow Lender to check and require documentation (including, but not limited to, lien waivers) sufficient to protect Lender and the Loan contemplated hereby. Borrower shall have no right to rely on any procedures required by Lender, Borrower hereby acknowledging that Borrower has sole responsibility for constructing the Improvements and paying for work done in accordance therewith and that Borrower has solely, on Borrower’s own behalf, selected or approved each contractor, each subcontractor and each materialman, Lender having no responsibility for any such Persons or for the quality of their materials or workmanship.

ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Successors and Assigns.

9.4 Intentionally Omitted.

For purposes of notice, the addresses of the parties shall be as set forth on page 1 of this Agreement; provided, however, that either party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of thirty (30) days notice to the other party in the manner set forth herein.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 44

9.6 Reliance by Lender. Lender is relying and is entitled to rely upon each and all of the provisions of this Agreement; and accordingly, if any provision or provisions of this Agreement should be held to be invalid or ineffective, then all other provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding.

9.7 Participations. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to grant participations in the Loan and Loan Documents or sell or assign its interest in the Loan and the Loan Documents to a thirty party. Each participant or assignee of Lender shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender regarding the creditworthiness of Borrower, any of its principals and the Guarantor, including (without limitation) information required to be disclosed to a participant pursuant to Banking Circular 181 (Rev., August 2, 1984), issued by the Comptroller of the Currency (whether the participant is subject to the circular or not).

9.8 Maximum Interest. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness (as defined in the Deed of Trust) (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to any of the Indebtedness, (ii) contracted for, charged or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note and/or any other portion of the Indebtedness, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Note and/or any of the other Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate (as defined in the Deed of Trust) shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and/or any of the other Indebtedness (or, if the Note and all other Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note 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 document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of the Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against any other Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note and/or other Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any of the Indebtedness, including any portion of the debt evidenced by the Note shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method,

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 45

throughout the stated term of the Note and/or other Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note and/or other Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note and/or the other Indebtedness for so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note and/or any of the other Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

9.9 Controlling Document. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

9.10 Construction of Agreement. All pronouns, whether in masculine, feminine or neuter form, shall be deemed to refer to the object of such pronoun whether same is masculine, feminine or neuter in gender, as the context may suggest or require. All terms used herein, whether or not defined in Section 1.1 hereof, and whether used in singular or plural form, shall be deemed to refer to the object of such term, whether such is singular or plural in nature, as the context may suggest or require.

9.11 Counterpart Execution. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts as may be convenient or required, with all such counterparts collectively constituting a single instrument.

9.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND LENDER, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED. EACH PARTY, AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION REGARDING THE PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INDEBTEDNESS.

9.14 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION. The following notification is provided to Borrower pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for Borrower: When Borrower opens an account, if Borrower is an individual, Lender will ask for Borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, residential address, date of birth and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower, and, if Borrower is not an individual, Lender will ask for Borrower’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower. Lender may also ask, if Borrower is an individual, to see Borrower’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and, if Borrower is not an individual, to see Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.
