OWNER’S FUNDS
8.1 Separate Accounts. Payments made by Owner (and the Construction Lender under the Construction Loan, if applicable) pursuant to an approved Monthly Draw Package may be made, at Owner’s (or any such Construction Lender’s) discretion, directly to the parties to whom payment is owed or may be made to an account of Owner over which Developer has signature authority for further disbursement to the Architect(s), Contractor, the Specialists and Consultants, suppliers and other creditors. Such account or accounts shall be subject to withdrawal only upon the signature or signatures of individuals approved by Owner. Such account or accounts shall be maintained by Owner in such financial institutions as may be selected by Owner. All such funds shall be and shall remain the property of Owner and shall be disbursed by Developer in payment of the obligations of Owner incurred in connection with the development and construction of the Project and the performance of the Development Work or, subject to Section 8.2, disbursed directly to Owner at Owner’s request. Developer shall not commingle Owner’s funds with the funds of any other Person and shall disburse Owner’s funds only in accordance with the Monthly Draw Package.
8.2 Owner’s Duty to Provide Funds. Except as otherwise provided herein, Owner agrees that Owner will provide, as and when necessary, all such amounts as are required to pay when due all current obligations of Owner in connection with the development and construction of the Project and the performance of the Development Work, including all obligations of Owner to Developer hereunder. Lien waivers will be accepted not more than one (1) month in arrears.

9.1.2 Indemnity by Owner. Owner hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Developer and the Indemnified Parties of the Developer, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any and all claims and demands by third-parties and related actions, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments, awards, settlements, obligations, liabilities, debts, damages and costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in connection with the enforcement of this indemnity or otherwise) suffered or incurred by any one or more of them arising out of or related to the Project, or Developer’s services or work hereunder, or any act, omission or failure to act by any of them in connection with the Developer’s services or work hereunder, unless (i) the same results from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Developer in connection with Developer’s services or work hereunder, Developer acting outside the scope of its duties or authority hereunder, or material breach by Developer of this Agreement or (ii) Developer is separately obligated to Owner, without right of reimbursement, for the same under another provision of this Agreement.
9.1.3 Control of Defense and Settlement. The Person required to provide indemnification (an “indemnitor”) shall have the right to defend, and shall defend, the Person entitled to be defended hereunder (an “indemnitee”) at the indemnitor’s expense and by counsel of the indemnitor’s own choosing (subject to the applicable indemitee’s approval of such counsel, not to be unreasonably withheld), against any matter to which an indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9.1 would apply. The right of any indemnitee, to defend or settle any such matter shall be limited to those cases where the indemnitor has failed or refused to defend after written notice to the indemnitee or cases where the indemnitee reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists. In all cases, the indemnitor will not be obligated for any settlement made without its approval, unless the indemnitor has wrongfully refused to take up defense of the related matter upon demand of the indemnitee. Unless the indemnitee otherwise agrees, the indemnitor may not settle a claim against an indemnitee on terms that (i) provide for a criminal sanction or fine against the indemnitee, (ii) admit to criminal liability on the part of the indemnitee or (iii) provide for injunctive relief against the indemnitee.

Developer shall have no liability to Owner or other Persons for negligence or for mistakes of judgment or losses or liabilities due to such negligence or for mistakes of judgment or to the negligence, dishonesty, unlawful acts or bad faith of any employee, broker or other agent, accountant, attorney, other professional or person employed by Owner provided that, if applicable, such person was selected, engaged, retained and supervised by Developer without gross negligence. Developer shall have no liability to Owner or other Person for any loss suffered by any of them which arises out of any action or inaction of Developer if the authority allowed to it by this Agreement and such course of conduct did not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, a material breach of this Agreement or gross negligence.
| -19- |
9.3 No Obligation to Third Parties. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1 hereof, none of the responsibilities and obligations of Developer or Owner under this Agreement shall in any way or in any manner be deemed to create any liability of Developer or Owner to, or any rights in, any Person other than Owner or Developer.
9.4 Ownership of Plans. Whether or not the Development Work is completed, plans, drawings and specifications prepared for Owner pursuant to this Agreement may be used by Owner or Developer (in conjunction with the Project or other projects) but Developer shall not sell any of such plans, drawings or specifications for use in conjunction with any project other than the Project.
9.5 Nature of Developer’s Duties and Responsibilities. Owner hereby acknowledges that Developer’s duties and responsibilities hereunder consist only in managing, arranging, supervising and coordinating the planning, design, permitting, scheduling, construction, and completion of the Development Work and the performance of the other Development Functions and duties under this Agreement which relate to the Development Work, all in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, the terms of this Agreement; that Developer is not itself preparing any architectural or engineering plans, designs or specifications or performing any construction required for the development or completion of the Development Work; and that Developer is not responsible for, and will not be liable for, any work, act, omission, negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct of any other Person (including any architect, engineer or other design professional or any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, materialman or artisan) employed by Owner or performing work for Owner in connection with the Development Work. NEITHER DEVELOPER NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN RESPECT OF THE CONTRACTOR AND THE TCR MEMBER AS PROVIDED IN THE LLC AGREEMENT) WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN DESIGN OF THE PROJECT OR FOR CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL DEVELOPER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY OWNER OR A MEMBER OF OWNER AS A RESULT OF DEFECTS IN DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT, INCLUDING ANY LOSS IN REVENUES, ANY LOSS OF OPPORTUNITIES, ANY LIABILITY TO OTHER PERSONS FOR LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY OR DEATH, OR ANY DAMAGE TO THE PROJECT. Owner retains the risk of (a) adequacy of all Plans and Specifications and compliance of Plans and Specifications with applicable laws and (b) subject to the Company’s rights under the Construction Contract and the LLC Agreement, conformance of construction with the applicable Plans and Specifications, applicable laws and sound building practices. DEVELOPER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY OR GOOD AND WORKMANLIKE CONSTRUCTION AND WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR USE OR ACCEPTABILITY FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED, AND OWNER OR EACH OTHER MEMBER OF OWNER WAIVES ALL BASIS FOR RECOVERY OR REIMBURSEMENT (INCLUDING ANY GROUND FOR RECOVERY BASED ON NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), TO THE EXTENT THE SAME WOULD ALLOW GREATER RECOURSE THAN PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9.5 AGAINST DEVELOPER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF DEVELOPER (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT IN RESPECT OF THE CONTRACTOR AND THE LLC AGREEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE TCR MEMBER).

13.13 No Waiver. No waiver by either party of any default of any other party or of any event, circumstance or condition permitting a party to terminate this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other default of the other party or of any other event, circumstance or condition, permitting such termination, whether of the same or of any other nature or type and whether preceding, concurrent or succeeding; and no failure on the part of either party to exercise any right it may have by the terms hereof or by law upon the default of the other party and no delay in the exercise of such right shall prevent the exercise thereof by the non-defaulting party at any time when the other party may continue to be so in default, and no such failure or delay and no waiver of default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or as a modification in any respect of the provisions of this Agreement. The subsequent acceptance of any payment or performance pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding default by a defaulting party or of any preceding event, circumstance or condition permitting termination hereunder, other than default in the payment of the particular payment or the performance of the particular matter so accepted, regardless of the non-defaulting party’s knowledge of the preceding default or the preceding event, circumstance or condition at the time of accepting such payment or performance, nor shall the non-defaulting party’s acceptance of such payment or performance after termination constitute a reinstatement, extension or renewal of this Agreement or revocation of any notice or other act by the non-defaulting party.
