​

(a)During the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the Initial Maturity Date, Bank shall, to the extent same are available, on each payment date under the Construction Loan Note, advance such funds from the Interest Reserve as are necessary to make the required interest payments under the Construction Loan Note. If extended pursuant to this Agreement, beginning on the first day following the Initial Maturity Date and at all times thereafter if extended pursuant to this Agreement, so long as adequate funds remain in the Interest Reserve to make interest only payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Construction Loan, such funds from the Interest Reserve may be used to make such interest only payments. In the event such funds are insufficient to make such interest only payments, Borrower shall deposit funds from its other resources into such Interest Reserve in an amount sufficient, in Bank’s reasonable judgment, to fund the Interest Reserve for the applicable Extension Term. In no event shall any principal of the Construction Loan be used to fund such Interest Reserve during any Extension Term.

​

Bank will make the advances contemplated in this Section 2.6 without any further direction, and notwithstanding any direction to the contrary, from Borrower. In the event the Interest Reserve is insufficient to cover any monthly payment of interest on the Construction Loan, Borrower shall be required to make the monthly interest payments in accordance with the terms of the Construction Loan Note.

​

2.7Reserves. In addition to the Interest Reserve, Bank may, from time to time after prior notice to Borrower, establish and set aside reserves (collectively, and including the Interest Reserve, the “Reserves”) out of the undisbursed proceeds of the Construction Loan Note, and from time to time, increase, decrease or adjust the Reserves, as it may reasonably estimate is necessary to cover the following items as they accrue or become payable, provided that such Reserves shall not be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Construction Loan Note unless and until actually disbursed by Bank for such items:

​

(a) all unpaid professional fees required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.2;

(b)payment of real estate taxes and assessments, as estimated by Bank, that shall accrue with respect to the Property while the Construction Loan Note is outstanding; provided, however, that such reserves shall only be required after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default;

​

(c)additional or unanticipated costs incurred in connection with the construction of the Improvements;

Bank may, at any time upon and during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, set off against the Secured Obligations, whether or not the Secured Obligations (including future payment installments) are then due or have been accelerated, all without any advance or contemporaneous notice or demand of any kind to Borrower, such notice and demand being expressly waived by Borrower. During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Bank shall have such rights with respect to all of such funds and property as are provided by applicable law and may apply such funds and property towards the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. No such application by Bank of such funds and property shall cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default or limit in any respect any of Bank’s remedies under the Loan Documents. No delay or omission of Bank in exercising any right to apply such funds or property shall impair any such right, or shall be construed as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any Event of Default. At the request of Bank, Borrower shall execute and deliver from time to time such documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in Bank’s sole

​

judgment, to assure Bank that it has a first priority perfected security interest in and lien on such funds and property.

Further, (i) the aggregate disbursements from the Construction Loan for soft costs, which may exceed ten percent (10%) of the total requested disbursement, shall be allocated across cost categories on an appropriate basis necessary to account for front-end loaded general conditions and (ii) other costs and shall be deemed approved by Bank, provided such allocation does not (w) cause the contingency to be prematurely exhausted; (x) result in the Construction Loan not remaining “in balance” (as defined in Section 6.12 below); (y) result in any deviation from the Plans and Specifications previously approved by Bank for the Improvements constructed by the Contractor; and/or (z) otherwise cause or result in any Default or Event of Default; provided further, however, that no reallocation across cost categories within the Construction Budget undertaken pursuant to Section 6.12 below shall, in any event, cause a cost category set forth in the Construction Budget to vary by more than twenty-five percent (25%) without, in each case, the Bank’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in the Bank’s sole but good faith discretion.

​

4.8Manner of Disbursement. Within four (4) Business Days after Bank’s receipt and approval (which shall be granted, partially granted (with specific reasons for the portion of the request disapproved, or disapproved within twenty one (21) days after submission by the Borrower) of all the documents required to be delivered pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 4, Bank shall make disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans as directed by Borrower in the amount of the disbursement, determined in the manner set forth in Section 4.6 or Section 4.7 as applicable; provided, however, that Bank may always elect in its sole discretion to disburse proceeds of the Loans directly to Borrower.

Borrower will maintain a single, standard system of accounting, including, without limitation, a single, complete, and accurate set of books and records of its assets, business, financial condition, operations, property, prospects, and results of operations in accordance with good accounting practices. Bank shall have the right from time to time to examine such assets and property and to audit, copy, and make excerpts from such books, records, and documents upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours.

Borrower shall pay and discharge before delinquency, all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, upon its income or profits, or upon any property belonging to it, when due, all valid and lawful claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials, and supplies), which, if unpaid, might become a Lien or Encumbrance upon any of its assets or property, and before delinquency, all its other indebtedness. Borrower shall provide evidence to Bank no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which ad valorem taxes would be delinquent that such taxes have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained shall prohibit Borrower from contesting in good faith and at its own expense any tax, assessment or governmental charge, provided, however, Borrower shall, not later than twenty (20) days after the notice of such tax, assessment or charge which is disputed or contested by Borrower, provide a surety protecting Bank’s interest from any claim or lien against the collateral satisfactory to Bank.

​

6.3Payment of Claims.

​

6.4Law; Judgments; Material Agreements; Approvals and Permits. Borrower shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, and rules (federal, state, and local) and all judgments, orders, and decrees of any arbitrator, other private adjudicator, or Governmental Entity relating to Borrower, the Collateral, or the assets, business, operations, or property of Borrower.

(ii)Bank determines that its security is not impaired; and (iii) no Event of Default exists and is continuing under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Restoration Conditions”), Bank shall advance the insurance proceeds to Borrower as restoration progresses in the same manner as Bank disburses advances of construction funds under this Agreement. If any one or more of the Restoration Conditions does not exist, Bank may call the Loans immediately due and payable in accordance with the following paragraph; provided, however, if, in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment the insurance proceeds are insufficient to complete the restoration, Borrower may satisfy such condition by depositing with Bank additional money as in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment is sufficient to complete the restoration in a timely manner and fully pay the costs thereof.

​

(b)If in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment the Improvements cannot be restored in a timely manner as described above or, if Borrower does not or cannot deposit additional money as in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment is required to complete the restoration and fully pay the cost thereof, or if an Event of Default

​

exists and is continuing under the Loan Documents, such event shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder, and Bank’s obligation to make insurance proceeds available for restoration shall immediately terminate. Bank may in such case apply any insurance proceeds and/or owner’s equity in the manner set forth in Section 6.6(a)hereof, to reduce the outstanding Secured Obligations of Borrower under the Loan and may exercise any of the other remedies which are described in Section 9.2 hereof or in the Loan Documents.

​

(c)In the case of loss as described in subsection 6.6(a), Bank is hereby authorized to participate in any settlement or adjustment of claims under insurance policies, as its interest may appear, and to collect and receipt for any proceeds. In the event Bank elects to apply the proceeds to restoration, in keeping with the Restoration Conditions, such proceeds shall be made available, from time to time, in the same manner as Bank disburses advances of construction funds under this Agreement.

​

6.7Condemnation. If all or any part of the Project is expropriated, condemned, taken by power of eminent domain, or transferred in anticipation of any such circumstances by any competent authority, then the proceeds of any such award or settlement made as compensation or damages for such expropriation, condemnation, exercise of the power of eminent domain or the transfer in anticipation of any such circumstance shall be paid to Bank. Bank, at its election, shall pay or apply such amount in any one or more of the following ways and in such order as Bank shall determine:

​

(a) to costs of collection thereof;

​

(b)payment of any expenses and fees of Bank associated with this Agreement and the other Secured Obligations of Borrower hereunder, the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, and the reduction of unpaid principal of the Loan;

​

(c)to the payment of obligations incurred by Bank or Borrower in the repair or replacement of damage to the Improvements; or

​

(d)to make payment to Borrower for the costs of restoration and repair of the Improvements.

​

If the Improvements or the Property or any part thereof is taken by condemnation or subject to imminent threat of condemnation, Bank may elect not to authorize application of any proceeds from any condemnation award to the restoration of the Improvements unless, in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment, (i) Bank’s security is not impaired, (ii) the Improvements can be replaced and restored in a manner which will enable it to be functionally and economically utilized and occupied as originally intended, and (iii) the condemnation proceeds (when taken together with such additional owner’s equity as Borrower may elect to deposit with Bank) shall be sufficient to replace or restore the Improvements to a functional and economically feasible condition. Whether Bank, in its sole but good faith judgment, determines that the Improvements can be so restored and replaced or not, the rights and obligations of Bank and Borrower thereafter, and the handling and utilization of any condemnation proceeds actually paid to Bank and undisbursed owner’s equity, shall be the same as described in the immediately preceding section hereof. In any event, the proceeds actually paid to the Bank will be provided to or credited to

​

Borrower in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Amount and not to the credit of the Bank.

​

6.8Fixtures. No Collateral which is personal property shall be purchased or installed on the Property by Borrower under any security agreement, conditional sales contract or other agreement wherein the seller reserves a security interest in, or the right to remove or to repossess, such items or to consider them personal property after their incorporation onto the Property.

​

6.9Further Assurances. Borrower will at any time and from time to time upon request of Bank take or cause to be taken any reasonable action, execute, acknowledge, deliver or record any further documents, opinions, mortgages, security agreements, financing statements or other instruments or obtain such additional insurance as Bank in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to preserve, protect and perfect the security interests intended to be created and preserved in the Collateral, the Property, and other properties and assets securing the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

​

6.10Industry Track Agreement. Borrower shall, at all times, comply with its obligations under the Industry Track Agreement and shall enforce the terms of the Industry Track Agreement in good faith. Borrower will deliver to Bank, promptly after receipt of the same from the Union Pacific, copies of all material correspondence, reports, notices and other information received from the Union Pacific and pertaining or relating to the Industry Track Agreement.

​

6.11Deposit Accounts; Security Agreement.

​

(a)Borrower has opened with Bank and will continuously maintain there, all depository and other accounts necessary for construction of the Improvements and operation of its business, including, without limitation, the account described in Exhibit D attached hereto (collectively, the “Deposit Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Bank a first lien security interest in and collateral assignment of each of the Deposit Accounts, now or hereafter established, and all funds from time to time on deposit therein. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower grants to Bank a full right of set-off with respect to all or any portion of the funds on deposit in the Deposit Accounts and any and all interest accrued thereon, if any. Bank may, to the maximum extent permissible by law, apply any or all of the funds in the Deposit Accounts, including accrued interest, if any, toward the unpaid balance of the Loans and/or to any other amounts which may be due and owing under the Loan Documents. Bank shall at all times have “control” of the Deposit Accounts for purposes of maintaining its first and prior perfected security interest therein.

​

6.12Deposit of Funds/Loan Balancing. As a material covenant and condition of the Loans and as a condition precedent to Bank’s obligation to disburse proceeds of both Loans, Borrower shall pay all Project Costs in excess of the Construction Loan. Except for the payment of interest out of the Interest Reserve pursuant to Section 2.6, Bank shall be obligated to disburse proceeds of the Loans only when the Construction Loan is “in balance.” The Construction Loans shall be “in balance” only at such times as Borrower has invested sufficient funds into the payment of Project Costs so that, in Bank’s good faith judgment, the undisbursed portion of the Construction Loan shall be sufficient to complete construction of the Project and pay all Project Costs (including

​

Interest Reserve) until repayment in full of the Construction Loan. The Construction Loan shall be “in balance” only at such time and from time to time as Bank may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, that (a) the undisbursed portion of Construction Loan proceeds allocated to each cost category in the Construction Budget, as amended from time to time consistently with this Agreement, is sufficient to complete each such cost category, provided, that the Bank shall allow Borrower to reallocate actual cost savings of no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of projected cost savings from one cost category to another cost category and shall take into account all contingencies in the Construction Budget, and (b) the then undisbursed portion of the Construction Loan equals or exceeds the amount necessary to pay for all work done and not previously paid for or to be done in connection with the completion of the Project substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications for such Improvement.

​

(a)The determination as to whether or not the Construction Loan is “in balance” may be made by Bank at any time following consultation with the Inspector, including with each request for a disbursement of the Construction Loan.

​

(b)If Bank then reasonably determines that the Construction Loan is not “in balance,” then Bank will not be obligated to make any disbursement of the Construction Loan, unless and until Borrower does any one or more of the following:

​

1.establishes to Bank’s satisfaction, contrary to Bank’s prior determination, the Construction Loan is “in balance”,

​

2.within thirty (30) days after notice from Bank that the Construction Loan is not “in balance,” deposit with Bank, in United States Dollars or immediately available funds, the amount necessary to put the Construction Loan “in balance.” No interest shall be paid by Bank on such deposited funds (advances of proceeds of the Construction Loan and such account shall be and be deemed to be made under this Agreement such that all Borrower’s deposit shall be exhausted prior to the making of any further disbursement of proceeds of the Construction Loan), or

​

3.within thirty (30) days after notice from Bank that the Construction Loan is not “in balance,” Borrower delivers to Bank evidence satisfactory to Bank that Borrower has expended on Project Costs from sources other than proceeds of the Construction Loan or other indebtedness, an amount sufficient to put the Construction Loan “in balance.”

​

If such amounts are not deposited with Bank within the time period required by this Section 6.12 or other appropriate action taken by Borrower within such time period in accordance with this Section 6.12 to demonstrate to Bank to its good faith satisfaction, in accordance with the provisions hereof, that the Construction Loan has been put back “in balance”, such failure constitute an immediate and non-curable Event of Default.

​

6.13Commence and Continue Construction; Completion of Construction.

​

(a)Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that construction of the Improvements shall at all times be completed with diligence and continuity, as determined

​

by Bank in its reasonable discretion, in substantial compliance with the Construction Schedule, in order that Substantial Completion of the Improvements shall occur on or before the Completion Date.

​

(b)All construction shall be free and clear of defects in and liens or claims for liens for materials supplied or labor or services performed in connection with the Improvements. The Improvements shall be in substantial conformity with the Plans and Specifications and, except for off-site improvements designated thereon, shall be contained wholly within the lot lines of the Property and will not encroach on any other real estate, easements, building lines or set-back requirements.

​

(c)Subject to Force Majeure Events and Bank-approved Change Orders affecting the Construction Schedule, Borrower shall Substantially Complete construction of the Improvements no later than the Completion Date. Subject to Force Majeure Events and Bank-approved Change Orders affecting the Construction Schedule, Bank shall have no further obligation to make advances or disbursements of the Construction Loan on or after the Completion Date. If the term of the Construction Loan is extended in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the maximum amount of the Construction Loan will be reduced to and capped at the outstanding principal balance of the Construction Loan on the Initial Maturity Date.

​

6.14Ownership of Collateral. Borrower will be the sole owner of all Collateral, free from any adverse lien, security interest or adverse claim of any kind whatsoever, except for security interests and liens in favor of the interest of a lessor pursuant to a lease of personal property approved by Bank and the liens and security interests approved by Bank pursuant to the Loan Documents. Borrower shall not incur any debt, secured or unsecured other than (a) the Loans and

(b)the usual and customary trade debt incurred in the ordinary course of business of owning and operating the Project.

​

6.15Correction of Defects. Within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, Borrower will proceed with diligence to correct all defects in the Improvements and any substantial departure from the Plans and Specifications except as approved by Bank or permitted under Section 6.16 below. The disbursement of any Construction Loan proceeds or Revolving Line of Credit loan proceeds shall not constitute a waiver of Bank’s right to require compliance with this covenant with respect to any such defect or departure from the applicable Plans and Specifications.

​

6.16Changes and Change Orders.

​

(d)Borrower will not change or in any manner cause or seek a change in any laws, requirements of Governmental Authorities and obligations created by CC&Rs, licenses, approvals, restrictions or easement agreements, if any, which now or hereafter may significantly affect the ownership, construction, equipping, fixturing, use or operation of the Project without the prior written consent of Bank which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

​

​

Specifications, will be effective unless approved in writing in advance by Bank, as described below.

​

(f)Any Change Order, including Minor Change Orders, must be submitted, along with disbursement requests, to Bank. Change Orders other than Minor Change Orders shall be subject to Bank’s reasonable review and approval. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Bank, permit the performance of any work pursuant to, or request a disbursement for, any Change Orders which result in a material change in the Plans and Specifications, Construction Schedule, Construction Contract, or will increase Project Costs. Proposed Change Orders shall be submitted to Bank on a form acceptable to Bank containing such information as to the nature, scope and cost for such change as Bank may require together with a marked copy of the portion of the Plans and Specifications affected by the proposed change.

​

6.17Contesting Liens. Borrower shall institute the following procedures to insure the prompt removal of mechanics’ liens from the Property:

Bank shall be further instructed that, should Bank, in Bank’s sole and absolute judgment, determine that Bank’s security or priority position be in jeopardy, then Bank may, upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to Borrower of its intention to do so, but without any obligation, pay out of the undisbursed loan account any or all of such liens or claims, or may contest the validity of any of them, paying all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs; and, should such payments exceed the balance of escrowed funds, then such additional amount may be expended by Bank at its option and shall be secured by the Deeds of Trust.

​

6.18 Notices. Borrower, as soon as practicable, shall give notice to Bank of:

​

(a)Borrower shall not enter into, consent to or permit any lease, sublease, license or other agreement relating to, or otherwise permit the use or occupancy of, the Property for a Controlled Substances Use (defined below) or in any manner that violates or could violate any Controlled Substances Laws (defined below), including, without limitation, any business, communications, financial transactions or other activities related to Controlled Substances or a Controlled Substances Use (defined below) that violate or could violate any Controlled Substances Laws (collectively, “Drug-Related Activities”). Borrower and its affiliates shall not engage in any Drug-Related Activities, and Borrower shall not make any payments to Bank from funds derived from Drug-Related Activities. Borrower shall provide to Bank, from time to time, within (10) ten days after Bank’s request therefor, any information that Bank requests in its reasonable discretion, relating to compliance with this Section 8.6.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document securing the Obligations to the contrary, no direct or indirect disclosure by Borrower to Bank or any person affiliated with Bank, and no knowledge of Bank or any person affiliated with the Bank, of the existence of any Drug Related Activities or Controlled Substance Use on, in or about the Property shall estop Bank or waive any right of Bank to invoke any remedy under the Loan Documents for violation of any provision hereof related to the prohibition of any Drug Related Activities or Controlled Substance Use on, in or about the Property. The foregoing shall apply notwithstanding the receipt or execution of an estoppel certificate or subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or other document from or with any tenant of Borrower engaged in such prohibited activity.

​

(b)This Section 8.6 is a material consideration and inducement upon which Bank relies in extending credit and other financial accommodations to Borrower. Failure by Borrower to comply with this section shall constitute a material non-curable Event of Default.

​

immediately exercise any and all remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and by law.

​

8.8Leases; Subleases. Without the prior written consent of Bank which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not (a) terminate, modify or amend any Lease, assign any Lease, grant any concessions in connection therewith, either orally or in writing, accept a surrender thereof, waive any performance or default thereunder by the tenant thereunder, or consent to any assignment or sublet thereof by the tenant thereunder, or (b) enter into any Lease.

​

9.2Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may, in addition to any other remedies which Bank may have hereunder or under the Loan Documents or by law, at its option and without prior demand or notice take any or all of the following actions:

​

(a)Use any funds of Borrower held by Bank to reimburse Bank for any costs incurred under the Note or this Agreement.

​

(b) Declare the Secured Obligations immediately due and payable.

​

(c)Bank shall have the right to take possession of the Property and perform any and all work it deems advisable or necessary to protect the Property and Improvements. Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Bank its attorney-in-fact with full power and authority upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to:

​

(i) take possession of and protect the Improvements;

​

(ii)pay, settle or compromise all existing claims relating to the clearance of title to the Property for protection of its interest;

​

(iii)prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with the Improvements and to apply the proceeds of any judgment received by Borrower in any such action against any of the Secured Obligations as it sees fit; and

​

(iv)execute, acknowledge and deliver all instruments and documents in the name of Borrower and do and perform all acts in the name of Borrower that Bank deems necessary or appropriate to commence or continue operations on the Property.

​

(d)Obtain the appointment of a receiver and foreclose on or realize upon any security for the Loans without waiving its rights to proceed against any other security or other entities or individuals directly or indirectly responsible for repayment of the Secured Obligations or waive any and all security for the Secured Obligations as Bank may in its discretion so determine, and pursue any such other remedy or remedies as Bank may so determine to be in its best interest as provided herein or in the Loan Documents. All remedies of Bank provided for herein and in any other Loan Document are cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law. The exercise of any right or remedy by Bank hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of an Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of an Event of Default, or prejudice Bank in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless, in the exercise of its rights, Bank realizes all amounts owed to it under such Loan Documents.

​

9.3Setoff. As security for the payment of the Secured Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in and lien on any credit balance now or hereafter owed to Borrower by Bank. In addition, Borrower each agree that Bank may, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without prior notice or demand, set off against any such credit balance or other money all or any part of the unpaid balance of the Secured Obligations.

​

9.4Recertified Appraisal. If at any time (a) Bank reasonably believes that an Event of Default under the Loan Documents has occurred (giving effect to applicable cure and notice periods, if any, contained in the Loan Documents), (b) a Material Adverse Occurrence has not been cured within the required time period, or (c) Bank is required by law or regulation to obtain a new Appraisal, Bank may require a new Appraisal of the Property in form and content reasonably acceptable to Bank to be prepared at Borrower’s expense.

​

9.5Inspections. Bank and its agents, employees, and representatives shall have the right upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours (except in the event of an emergency) from time to time to enter upon the Property in order to inspect the Property. Inspection by Bank or Bank’s Inspector of the Property is for the sole purpose of protecting the security of Bank and is not to be construed as a representation by Bank that there has been compliance with applicable law or the applicable Covenants or that the Improvements are free of defects in materials or workmanship. Borrower may make or cause to be made such other independent inspections as Borrower may desire for its own protection.

​

In any case, Bank may proceed with every remedy available at law or in equity or provided for herein or in any document executed in connection herewith, and all expenses incurred by Bank in connection with any remedy shall be deemed indebtedness of Borrower to Bank and a part of the Secured Obligations. Bank may apply the proceeds from any collateral for the Loans or from any other source against any of the Secured Obligations as and in any order it sees fit.

​

ARTICLE 10 MISCELLANEOUS

​

10.1No Waiver. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach by Borrower hereunder shall be implied from any failure by Bank to take action on account of such Event of Default if such Event of Default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any Event of Default other than the Event of Default specified in the waiver and shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term or condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition.

​

10.2Successors and Assigns.

​

10.4Authority to File Notices. Borrower irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Bank as its agent (said agency being coupled with an interest), during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to send to any third party any other notice or documents or take any other action that Bank deems necessary or desirable to protect its interest hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, and will upon request by Bank, execute such additional documents as Bank may require to further evidence the grant of the aforesaid right to Bank.

​

10.5 Time. Time is of the essence hereof.

​

10.6Amendments, etc. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

​

10.7Headings. The article and section headings in no way define, limit, extend or interpret the scope of this Agreement or of any particular article or section.

​

10.8Number and Gender. When the context in which the words are used in this Agreement indicate that such is the intent, words in the singular number shall include the plural and vice-versa. References to any one gender shall also include the other gender if applicable under the circumstances.

​

10.9No Joint Venture. Bank and Borrower each have separate and independent rights and obligations under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating, forming or constituting any partnership, joint venture, merger or consolidation of Borrower and Bank for any purpose or in any respect.

​

10.10Indemnify Bank. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless from all liability for any actual or alleged damage or injury of whatsoever nature arising out of or in any way connected with the Property or arising out of Borrower’s breach of the provisions of this Agreement, except to the extent such damage or injury is caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Bank may commence, appear in or defend, in its own name or in the name of Borrower, any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights, duties or liabilities of the parties hereto, or the Property or the Improvements and Borrower shall pay all of Bank’s costs and expenses incurred thereby on demand. This Section 10.10 shall survive execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Deeds of Trust, and the other Loan Documents.

​

10.11Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws. Without limiting the right of Bank to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or against any property of Borrower (an “Action”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any indebtedness evidenced hereby in the courts of other jurisdictions, Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction, process and venue of any Colorado State or Federal court sitting in or for the City and County of Denver, Colorado, and hereby irrevocably agrees that any Action may be heard and determined in such Colorado State court or in such Federal court. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defenses of lack of jurisdiction

​

over any person, inconvenient forum or improper venue, to the maintenance of any Action in any jurisdiction.

​

10.12Automatic Acceleration. Should there occur an Event of Default and if a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code thereafter is filed by or against Borrower while such event remains uncured, all obligations hereunder shall be automatically accelerated and due and payable and the Default Rate provided for in the Notes shall automatically apply as of the date of the first occurrence of the event which would, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default, without any notice, demand or action of any type on the part of Bank (including any action evidencing the acceleration or imposition of the Default Rate). The fact that Bank has, prior to the filing of the voluntary petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, acted in a manner which is inconsistent with the acceleration and imposition of the Default Rate provided for in the Notes, shall not constitute a waiver of this Section 10.12 or estop Bank from asserting or enforcing Bank’s rights hereunder.

​

10.13Severability. If any provision of this Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Document securing or executed in connection with this Loan Agreement is, for any reason and to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, then neither the remainder of the Loan Document in which such provision is contained, or the application of the provision to other persons, entities or circumstances, nor any other document referred to in this Loan Agreement, shall be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, and there shall be deemed substituted for the invalid or unenforceable provision the most similar provision which would be valid and enforceable under applicable law.

​

10.14Attorneys’ Fees and Other Costs. Borrower shall reimburse Bank for all attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement of Bank’s rights under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reimbursements for trial, appellate proceedings, out-of- court workouts and settlements and for enforcement of rights under any state or federal statute, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings such as in connection with seeking relief from stay in a bankruptcy proceeding or negotiating and documenting any amendment or modification of the Loans or reviewing subsequent Loan submission items. Borrower shall pay all costs, including without limitation costs of title searches, title commitments, appraisals, environmental audits, third-party consultants UCC searches reasonably incurred by Bank in enforcing payment and performance of the Loans, exercising rights and remedies of Bank under the Loan Documents, or reviewing Loan submission items. Borrower’s reimbursement obligation shall be part of the Secured Obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

​

10.15Right to Participate or Assign Loans. Bank shall retain the right at all times, with or without the consent of Borrower, to grant participation in the Loans or any portion thereof, together with the collateral for repayment of the Notes, to any other entity acceptable to Bank, and Borrower acknowledges that Bank shall have the right to share any and all information concerning Borrower with any prospective loan participant.

​

10.16Marshalling. Borrower for itself and for all who may claim through or under it, waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien and security interests of the Loan Documents.

​

10.17Dispute Resolution. THIS SECTION CONTAINS A JURY WAIVER AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. READ IT CAREFULLY.

​

This dispute resolution provision shall supersede and replace any prior “Jury Waiver,” “Judicial Reference,” “Class Action Waiver,” “Arbitration,” “Dispute Resolution,” or similar alternative dispute agreement or provision between or among the parties.

​

(a)JURY TRIAL WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BEFORE A JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS “DISPUTE” IS HEREINAFTER DEFINED), AND DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT THIS PROVISION IS NOT ENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON AND AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO TRIAL OF THE DISPUTE, BUT NOT LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER ENTRY OF THE ORDER DETERMINING THIS PROVISION IS UNENFORCEABLE, ANY PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO MOVE THE COURT FOR AN ORDER COMPELLING ARBITRATION AND STAYING OR DISMISSING SUCH LITIGATION PENDING ARBITRATION (“ARBITRATION ORDER”). IF PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY ALSO WAIVES THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT OR AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING ANY DISPUTE AS A CLASS ACTION, EITHER AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OR AS A REPRESENTATIVE, OR TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

​

(b)Arbitration. If a claim, dispute, or controversy arises between us with respect to this Agreement, related agreements, or any other agreement or business relationship between any of us whether or not related to the subject matter of this Agreement (all of the foregoing, a “Dispute”), and only if a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law or ruling by a court, any of us may require that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator at the request of any party. By agreeing to arbitrate a Dispute, each party gives up any right that party may have to a jury trial, as well as other rights that party would have in court that are not available or are more limited in arbitration, such as the rights to discovery and to appeal.

​

Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a petition with, and in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of, JAMS or Forum (formerly known as National Arbitration Forum) (“Administrator”) as selected by the initiating party. If the parties agree, arbitration may be commenced by appointment of a licensed attorney who is selected by the parties and who agrees to conduct the arbitration without an Administrator. Disputes include matters (i) relating to a

deposit account, application for or denial of credit, enforcement of any of the obligations we have to each other, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, performance or services provided under any agreement by any party, (ii) based on or arising from an alleged tort, or

(iii) involving either of our employees, agents, affiliates, or assigns of a party. However, Disputes

​

do not include the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision and such matters may be determined only by a court. If a third party is a party to a Dispute, we each will consent to including the third party in the arbitration proceeding for resolving the Dispute with the third party. Venue for the arbitration proceeding shall be at a location determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if no agreement, in the city and state where lender or bank is headquartered.

​

After entry of an Arbitration Order, the non-moving party shall commence arbitration. The moving party shall, at its discretion, also be entitled to commence arbitration but is under no obligation to do so, and the moving party shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced by electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator: (i) will hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment;

(ii) will render a decision and any award applying applicable law; (iii) will give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute or defense; (iv) shall enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppel, if applicable; (v) with regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, shall apply rules of evidence governing civil cases; and

(vi) will apply the law of the state specified in the agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (i) seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment, and/or the appointment of a receiver, (ii) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (iii) availing itself of any self-help remedies such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration.

​

Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including Administrator, arbitrator, and attorney’s fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the original arbitrator.

Arbitration under this provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

Borrower shall provide evidence to Bank no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which ad valorem taxes would be delinquent that such taxes have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained shall prohibit Borrower from contesting in good faith and at its own expense any tax, assessment or governmental charge, provided, however, Borrower shall, not later than twenty (20) days after the notice of such tax, assessment or charge which is disputed or contested by Borrower, provide a surety protecting Bank’s interest from any claim or lien against the collateral satisfactory to Bank.

​

6.3Payment of Claims. Borrower agrees to pay and discharge all claims for labor performed and material and services furnished in connection with the Collateral, and to take all other steps necessary to forestall the assertion of claims or liens either against the Collateral, or any part thereof or right or interest appurtenant thereto, or of claims against Bank. Nothing herein contained shall require Borrower to pay any claims for labor, materials or services which Borrower in good faith disputes and which Borrower, at its own expense, is currently and diligently contesting, provided, however, that Borrower shall, not later than twenty (20) days after the notice of the filing of any claim or lien against the Collateral or notice of intent to file such a lien, which is disputed or contested by Borrower, notify Bank of such lien and proceed to contest or discharge such lien, in each case in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.17 hereof. Borrower’s failure to pay such claims prior to the Completion Date will not prevent Borrower from receiving an extension of the Initial Term provided that Borrower delivers to Bank such evidence as Bank may reasonably require that Borrower has set aside adequate funds to fully and completely resolve such claims.

​

6.4Law; Judgments; Material Agreements; Approvals and Permits. Borrower shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, and rules (federal, state, and local) and all judgments, orders, and decrees of any arbitrator, other private adjudicator, or Governmental Entity relating to Borrower, the Collateral, or the assets, business, operations, or property of Borrower. Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all material agreements, documents, and instruments to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower, the Property, or any of the other assets or property of Borrower is bound or affected. Borrower shall comply with all requirements contained in or required under any Covenants and all conditions and requirements of all Approvals and Permits. Borrower shall obtain and maintain in effect from time to time all Approvals and Permits required for the business activities and operations then being conducted by Borrower.

​

​

​

​

45

​

obligation hereof, and without curing any default of Borrower, obtain insurance, in any amounts determined by Bank, through or from any insurance agency or insurer or insurance underwriter acceptable to Bank, and pay the premium therefore, and Bank by doing so shall not be chargeable with obtaining or maintaining such insurance or for the collection of any insurance monies or for any insolvency of any insurer or insurance company.

​

If at any time Borrower obtains insurance related to the Property or the ownership, operation or income thereof, which is not specifically required by Bank, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, then Borrower shall nevertheless include Bank and its successors and assigns as additional insureds or additional loss payees thereto.

​

6.6 Damage or Destruction.

​

(a)If the Improvements or the Property, or any portions or part thereof, are damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause, Borrower shall, at the request of Bank and subject to the provisions of this Section, immediately proceed with the restoration thereof in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, and shall diligently complete the work of restoration, provided that Bank makes available to Borrower as restoration progresses any insurance proceeds actually paid to Bank in respect to such damage or destruction. If (i) in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment the insurance proceeds are sufficient to complete the restoration within one hundred eighty (180) days; (ii) Bank determines that its security is not impaired; and (iii) no Event of Default exists and is continuing under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Restoration Conditions”), Bank shall advance the insurance proceeds to Borrower as restoration progresses in the same manner as Bank disburses advances of construction funds under this Agreement. If any one or more of the Restoration Conditions does not exist, Bank may call the Loans immediately due and payable in accordance with the following paragraph; provided, however, if, in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment the insurance proceeds are insufficient to complete the restoration, Borrower may satisfy such condition by depositing with Bank additional money as in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment is sufficient to complete the restoration in a timely manner and fully pay the costs thereof.

​

(b)If in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment the Improvements cannot be restored in a timely manner as described above or, if Borrower does not or cannot deposit additional money as in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment is required to complete the restoration and fully pay the cost thereof, or if an Event of Default

​

​

46

​

exists and is continuing under the Loan Documents, such event shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder, and Bank’s obligation to make insurance proceeds available for restoration shall immediately terminate. Bank may in such case apply any insurance proceeds and/or owner’s equity in the manner set forth in Section 6.6(a)hereof, to reduce the outstanding Secured Obligations of Borrower under the Loan and may exercise any of the other remedies which are described in Section 9.2 hereof or in the Loan Documents.

​

(c)In the case of loss as described in subsection 6.6(a), Bank is hereby authorized to participate in any settlement or adjustment of claims under insurance policies, as its interest may appear, and to collect and receipt for any proceeds. In the event Bank elects to apply the proceeds to restoration, in keeping with the Restoration Conditions, such proceeds shall be made available, from time to time, in the same manner as Bank disburses advances of construction funds under this Agreement.

​

6.7Condemnation. If all or any part of the Project is expropriated, condemned, taken by power of eminent domain, or transferred in anticipation of any such circumstances by any competent authority, then the proceeds of any such award or settlement made as compensation or damages for such expropriation, condemnation, exercise of the power of eminent domain or the transfer in anticipation of any such circumstance shall be paid to Bank. Bank, at its election, shall pay or apply such amount in any one or more of the following ways and in such order as Bank shall determine:

​

(a) to costs of collection thereof;

​

(b)payment of any expenses and fees of Bank associated with this Agreement and the other Secured Obligations of Borrower hereunder, the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan, and the reduction of unpaid principal of the Loan;

​

(c)to the payment of obligations incurred by Bank or Borrower in the repair or replacement of damage to the Improvements; or

​

(d)to make payment to Borrower for the costs of restoration and repair of the Improvements.

​

If the Improvements or the Property or any part thereof is taken by condemnation or subject to imminent threat of condemnation, Bank may elect not to authorize application of any proceeds from any condemnation award to the restoration of the Improvements unless, in Bank’s sole discretionary but good faith judgment, (i) Bank’s security is not impaired, (ii) the Improvements can be replaced and restored in a manner which will enable it to be functionally and economically utilized and occupied as originally intended, and (iii) the condemnation proceeds (when taken together with such additional owner’s equity as Borrower may elect to deposit with Bank) shall be sufficient to replace or restore the Improvements to a functional and economically feasible condition. Whether Bank, in its sole but good faith judgment, determines that the Improvements can be so restored and replaced or not, the rights and obligations of Bank and Borrower thereafter, and the handling and utilization of any condemnation proceeds actually paid to Bank and undisbursed owner’s equity, shall be the same as described in the immediately preceding section hereof. In any event, the proceeds actually paid to the Bank will be provided to or credited to

​

​

47

​

Borrower in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan Amount and not to the credit of the Bank.

​

6.8Fixtures. No Collateral which is personal property shall be purchased or installed on the Property by Borrower under any security agreement, conditional sales contract or other agreement wherein the seller reserves a security interest in, or the right to remove or to repossess, such items or to consider them personal property after their incorporation onto the Property.

​

6.9Further Assurances. Borrower will at any time and from time to time upon request of Bank take or cause to be taken any reasonable action, execute, acknowledge, deliver or record any further documents, opinions, mortgages, security agreements, financing statements or other instruments or obtain such additional insurance as Bank in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to preserve, protect and perfect the security interests intended to be created and preserved in the Collateral, the Property, and other properties and assets securing the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

​

6.10Industry Track Agreement. Borrower shall, at all times, comply with its obligations under the Industry Track Agreement and shall enforce the terms of the Industry Track Agreement in good faith. Borrower will deliver to Bank, promptly after receipt of the same from the Union Pacific, copies of all material correspondence, reports, notices and other information received from the Union Pacific and pertaining or relating to the Industry Track Agreement.

​

6.11 Deposit Accounts; Security Agreement.

​

(a)Borrower has opened with Bank and will continuously maintain there, all depository and other accounts necessary for construction of the Improvements and operation of its business, including, without limitation, the account described in Exhibit D attached hereto (collectively, the “Deposit Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Bank a first lien security interest in and collateral assignment of each of the Deposit Accounts, now or hereafter established, and all funds from time to time on deposit therein. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower grants to Bank a full right of set-off with respect to all or any portion of the funds on deposit in the Deposit Accounts and any and all interest accrued thereon, if any. Bank may, to the maximum extent permissible by law, apply any or all of the funds in the Deposit Accounts, including accrued interest, if any, toward the unpaid balance of the Loans and/or to any other amounts which may be due and owing under the Loan Documents. Bank shall at all times have “control” of the Deposit Accounts for purposes of maintaining its first and prior perfected security interest therein.

​

6.12Deposit of Funds/Loan Balancing. As a material covenant and condition of the Loans and as a condition precedent to Bank’s obligation to disburse proceeds of both Loans, Borrower shall pay all Project Costs in excess of the Construction Loan. Except for the payment of interest out of the Interest Reserve pursuant to Section 2.6, Bank shall be obligated to disburse proceeds of the Loans only when the Construction Loan is “in balance.” The Construction Loans shall be “in balance” only at such times as Borrower has invested sufficient funds into the payment of Project Costs so that, in Bank’s good faith judgment, the undisbursed portion of the Construction Loan shall be sufficient to complete construction of the Project and pay all Project Costs (including

​

​

48

​

Interest Reserve) until repayment in full of the Construction Loan. The Construction Loan shall be “in balance” only at such time and from time to time as Bank may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, that (a) the undisbursed portion of Construction Loan proceeds allocated to each cost category in the Construction Budget, as amended from time to time consistently with this Agreement, is sufficient to complete each such cost category, provided, that the Bank shall allow Borrower to reallocate actual cost savings of no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of projected cost savings from one cost category to another cost category and shall take into account all contingencies in the Construction Budget, and (b) the then undisbursed portion of the Construction Loan equals or exceeds the amount necessary to pay for all work done and not previously paid for or to be done in connection with the completion of the Project substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications for such Improvement.

​

(a)The determination as to whether or not the Construction Loan is “in balance” may be made by Bank at any time following consultation with the Inspector, including with each request for a disbursement of the Construction Loan.

​

(b)If Bank then reasonably determines that the Construction Loan is not “in balance,” then Bank will not be obligated to make any disbursement of the Construction Loan, unless and until Borrower does any one or more of the following:

​

1. establishes to Bank’s satisfaction, contrary to Bank’s prior determination, the Construction Loan is “in balance”,

​

2. within thirty (30) days after notice from Bank that the Construction Loan is not “in balance,” deposit with Bank, in United States Dollars or immediately available funds, the amount necessary to put the Construction Loan “in balance.” No interest shall be paid by Bank on such deposited funds (advances of proceeds of the Construction Loan and such account shall be and be deemed to be made under this Agreement such that all Borrower’s deposit shall be exhausted prior to the making of any further disbursement of proceeds of the Construction Loan), or

​

3. within thirty (30) days after notice from Bank that the Construction Loan is not “in balance,” Borrower delivers to Bank evidence satisfactory to Bank that Borrower has expended on Project Costs from sources other than proceeds of the Construction Loan or other indebtedness, an amount sufficient to put the Construction Loan “in balance.”

​

If such amounts are not deposited with Bank within the time period required by this Section 6.12 or other appropriate action taken by Borrower within such time period in accordance with this Section 6.12 to demonstrate to Bank to its good faith satisfaction, in accordance with the provisions hereof, that the Construction Loan has been put back “in balance”, such failure constitute an immediate and non-curable Event of Default.

​

6.13 Commence and Continue Construction; Completion of Construction.

​

(a)Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that construction of the Improvements shall at all times be completed with diligence and continuity, as determined

​

​

49

​

by Bank in its reasonable discretion, in substantial compliance with the Construction Schedule, in order that Substantial Completion of the Improvements shall occur on or before the Completion Date.

​

(b)All construction shall be free and clear of defects in and liens or claims for liens for materials supplied or labor or services performed in connection with the Improvements. The Improvements shall be in substantial conformity with the Plans and Specifications and, except for off-site improvements designated thereon, shall be contained wholly within the lot lines of the Property and will not encroach on any other real estate, easements, building lines or set-back requirements.

​

(c)Subject to Force Majeure Events and Bank-approved Change Orders affecting the Construction Schedule, Borrower shall Substantially Complete construction of the Improvements no later than the Completion Date. Subject to Force Majeure Events and Bank-approved Change Orders affecting the Construction Schedule, Bank shall have no further obligation to make advances or disbursements of the Construction Loan on or after the Completion Date. If the term of the Construction Loan is extended in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the maximum amount of the Construction Loan will be reduced to and capped at the outstanding principal balance of the Construction Loan on the Initial Maturity Date.

​

6.14Ownership of Collateral. Borrower will be the sole owner of all Collateral, free from any adverse lien, security interest or adverse claim of any kind whatsoever, except for security interests and liens in favor of the interest of a lessor pursuant to a lease of personal property approved by Bank and the liens and security interests approved by Bank pursuant to the Loan Documents. Borrower shall not incur any debt, secured or unsecured other than (a) the Loans and (b) the usual and customary trade debt incurred in the ordinary course of business of owning and operating the Project.

​

6.15Correction of Defects. Within thirty (30) days after notice thereof, Borrower will proceed with diligence to correct all defects in the Improvements and any substantial departure from the Plans and Specifications except as approved by Bank or permitted under Section 6.16 below. The disbursement of any Construction Loan proceeds or Revolving Line of Credit loan proceeds shall not constitute a waiver of Bank’s right to require compliance with this covenant with respect to any such defect or departure from the applicable Plans and Specifications.

​

6.16 Changes and Change Orders.

​

(d)Borrower will not change or in any manner cause or seek a change in any laws, requirements of Governmental Authorities and obligations created by CC&Rs, licenses, approvals, restrictions or easement agreements, if any, which now or hereafter may significantly affect the ownership, construction, equipping, fixturing, use or operation of the Project without the prior written consent of Bank which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

​

(e)Except for Minor Change Orders, no Change Orders or other changes in the Construction Budget for the Improvements, Construction Schedule or in the Plans and

​

​

50

​

Specifications, will be effective unless approved in writing in advance by Bank, as described below.

​

(f)Any Change Order, including Minor Change Orders, must be submitted, along with disbursement requests, to Bank. Change Orders other than Minor Change Orders shall be subject to Bank’s reasonable review and approval. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Bank, permit the performance of any work pursuant to, or request a disbursement for, any Change Orders which result in a material change in the Plans and Specifications, Construction Schedule, Construction Contract, or will increase Project Costs. Proposed Change Orders shall be submitted to Bank on a form acceptable to Bank containing such information as to the nature, scope and cost for such change as Bank may require together with a marked copy of the portion of the Plans and Specifications affected by the proposed change.

​

6.17Contesting Liens. Borrower shall institute the following procedures to insure the prompt removal of mechanics’ liens from the Property:

​

(g)Borrower shall forward a copy of all known recorded mechanics’ liens to Bank within twenty (20) days of recording, together with a written explanation of the controversy, if any.

​

(h)If payment and performance bonds shall not be in effect or not in a sufficient amount or the surety thereof shall fail to pay a mechanic’s lien, then, within the aforementioned twenty (20) days, Borrower must either: (i) pay the lien and obtain a written release thereof, or (ii) post a bond issued by an underwriter acceptable to Bank indemnifying against any loss by reason of such lien, or (iii) contest the validity of the lien and deposit with Bank an amount equal to 150% of the lien together with an additional sum sufficient to cover the costs of releasing the lien, six (6) months statutory interest and attorneys’ fees, which shall be from funds outside the Construction Loan proceeds and shall be accompanied with the instruction to Bank that such funds shall be held by Bank in a separate escrow account, without interest, to provide Borrower a reasonable time to contest the lien and obtain a release thereof, and, upon the release thereof, the entire escrowed funds shall be returned to Borrower. Bank shall be further instructed that, should Bank, in Bank’s sole and absolute judgment, determine that Bank’s security or priority position be in jeopardy, then Bank may, upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to Borrower of its intention to do so, but without any obligation, pay out of the undisbursed loan account any or all of such liens or claims, or may contest the validity of any of them, paying all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs; and, should such payments exceed the balance of escrowed funds, then such additional amount may be expended by Bank at its option and shall be secured by the Deeds of Trust.

​

6.18 Notices. Borrower, as soon as practicable, shall give notice to Bank of:

​

(a)Any actions, suits or proceedings involving Borrower, or their members, directors, officers or managers that could materially and adversely affect the repayment of the Loans, the performance of Borrower under this Agreement, the performance by the

Borrower will do or cause to be done all things necessary to maintain its legal existence and powers as a limited liability company organized in the State, and registered and qualified to do business in the State. Borrower’s sole business purpose shall be to own, construct and operate the Project.

Borrower may make or cause to be made such other independent inspections as Borrower may desire for its own protection.

​

In any case, Bank may proceed with every remedy available at law or in equity or provided for herein or in any document executed in connection herewith, and all expenses incurred by Bank in connection with any remedy shall be deemed indebtedness of Borrower to Bank and a part of the Secured Obligations.

10.8Number and Gender. When the context in which the words are used in this Agreement indicate that such is the intent, words in the singular number shall include the plural and vice-versa. References to any one gender shall also include the other gender if applicable under the circumstances.

​

10.9No Joint Venture. Bank and Borrower each have separate and independent rights and obligations under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating, forming or constituting any partnership, joint venture, merger or consolidation of Borrower and Bank for any purpose or in any respect.

​

10.10Indemnify Bank. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless from all liability for any actual or alleged damage or injury of whatsoever nature arising out of or in any way connected with the Property or arising out of Borrower’s breach of the provisions of this Agreement, except to the extent such damage or injury is caused by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Bank may commence, appear in or defend, in its own name or in the name of Borrower, any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights, duties or liabilities of the parties hereto, or the Property or the Improvements and Borrower shall pay all of Bank’s costs and expenses incurred thereby on demand. This Section 10.10 shall survive execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Deeds of Trust, and the other Loan Documents.

​

10.11Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws. Without limiting the right of Bank to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or against any property of Borrower (an “Action”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any indebtedness evidenced hereby in the courts of other jurisdictions, Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction, process and venue of any Colorado State or Federal court sitting in or for the City and County of Denver, Colorado, and hereby irrevocably agrees that any Action may be heard and determined in such Colorado State court or in such Federal court. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defenses of lack of jurisdiction

​

​

over any person, inconvenient forum or improper venue, to the maintenance of any Action in any jurisdiction.

​

10.12Automatic Acceleration. Should there occur an Event of Default and if a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code thereafter is filed by or against Borrower while such event remains uncured, all obligations hereunder shall be automatically accelerated and due and payable and the Default Rate provided for in the Notes shall automatically apply as of the date of the first occurrence of the event which would, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default, without any notice, demand or action of any type on the part of Bank (including any action evidencing the acceleration or imposition of the Default Rate). The fact that Bank has, prior to the filing of the voluntary petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, acted in a manner which is inconsistent with the acceleration and imposition of the Default Rate provided for in the Notes, shall not constitute a waiver of this Section 10.12 or estop Bank from asserting or enforcing Bank’s rights hereunder.

​

10.13Severability. If any provision of this Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Document securing or executed in connection with this Loan Agreement is, for any reason and to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, then neither the remainder of the Loan Document in which such provision is contained, or the application of the provision to other persons, entities or circumstances, nor any other document referred to in this Loan Agreement, shall be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, and there shall be deemed substituted for the invalid or unenforceable provision the most similar provision which would be valid and enforceable under applicable law.

​

10.14Attorneys’ Fees and Other Costs. Borrower shall reimburse Bank for all attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement of Bank’s rights under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reimbursements for trial, appellate proceedings, out-of- court workouts and settlements and for enforcement of rights under any state or federal statute, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings such as in connection with seeking relief from stay in a bankruptcy proceeding or negotiating and documenting any amendment or modification of the Loans or reviewing subsequent Loan submission items. Borrower shall pay all costs, including without limitation costs of title searches, title commitments, appraisals, environmental audits, third-party consultants UCC searches reasonably incurred by Bank in enforcing payment and performance of the Loans, exercising rights and remedies of Bank under the Loan Documents, or reviewing Loan submission items. Borrower’s reimbursement obligation shall be part of the Secured Obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

​

10.15Right to Participate or Assign Loans. Bank shall retain the right at all times, with or without the consent of Borrower, to grant participation in the Loans or any portion thereof, together with the collateral for repayment of the Notes, to any other entity acceptable to Bank, and Borrower acknowledges that Bank shall have the right to share any and all information concerning Borrower with any prospective loan participant.

​

​

67

​

10.16Marshalling. Borrower for itself and for all who may claim through or under it, waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien and security interests of the Loan Documents.

​

10.17Dispute Resolution. THIS SECTION CONTAINS A JURY WAIVER AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. READ IT CAREFULLY.

​

This dispute resolution provision shall supersede and replace any prior “Jury Waiver,” “Judicial Reference,” “Class Action Waiver,” “Arbitration,” “Dispute Resolution,” or similar alternative dispute agreement or provision between or among the parties.

​

(a)JURY TRIAL WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BEFORE A JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS “DISPUTE” IS HEREINAFTER DEFINED), AND DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT THIS PROVISION IS NOT ENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON AND AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO TRIAL OF THE DISPUTE, BUT NOT LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER ENTRY OF THE ORDER DETERMINING THIS PROVISION IS UNENFORCEABLE, ANY PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO MOVE THE COURT FOR AN ORDER COMPELLING ARBITRATION AND STAYING OR DISMISSING SUCH LITIGATION PENDING ARBITRATION (“ARBITRATION ORDER”). IF PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY ALSO WAIVES THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT OR AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING ANY DISPUTE AS A CLASS ACTION, EITHER AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OR AS A REPRESENTATIVE, OR TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

​

(b)Arbitration. If a claim, dispute, or controversy arises between us with respect to this Agreement, related agreements, or any other agreement or business relationship between any of us whether or not related to the subject matter of this Agreement (all of the foregoing, a “Dispute”), and only if a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law or ruling by a court, any of us may require that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator at the request of any party. By agreeing to arbitrate a Dispute, each party gives up any right that party may have to a jury trial, as well as other rights that party would have in court that are not available or are more limited in arbitration, such as the rights to discovery and to appeal.

​

Arbitration shall be commenced by filing a petition with, and in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules of, JAMS or Forum (formerly known as National Arbitration Forum) (“Administrator”) as selected by the initiating party. If the parties agree, arbitration may be commenced by appointment of a licensed attorney who is selected by the parties and who agrees to conduct the arbitration without an Administrator. Disputes include matters (i) relating to a deposit account, application for or denial of credit, enforcement of any of the obligations we have to each other, compliance with applicable laws and/or regulations, performance or services provided under any agreement by any party, (ii) based on or arising from an alleged tort, or (iii) involving either of our employees, agents, affiliates, or assigns of a party. However, Disputes

​

​

68

​

do not include the validity, enforceability, meaning, or scope of this arbitration provision and such matters may be determined only by a court. If a third party is a party to a Dispute, we each will consent to including the third party in the arbitration proceeding for resolving the Dispute with the third party. Venue for the arbitration proceeding shall be at a location determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if no agreement, in the city and state where lender or bank is headquartered.

​

After entry of an Arbitration Order, the non-moving party shall commence arbitration. The moving party shall, at its discretion, also be entitled to commence arbitration but is under no obligation to do so, and the moving party shall not in any way be adversely prejudiced by electing not to commence arbitration. The arbitrator: (i) will hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions for judgment on the pleadings, for failure to state a claim, or for full or partial summary judgment; (ii) will render a decision and any award applying applicable law; (iii) will give effect to any limitations period in determining any Dispute or defense; (iv) shall enforce the doctrines of compulsory counterclaim, res judicata, and collateral estoppel, if applicable; (v) with regard to motions and the arbitration hearing, shall apply rules of evidence governing civil cases; and (vi) will apply the law of the state specified in the agreement giving rise to the Dispute. Filing of a petition for arbitration shall not prevent any party from (i) seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (notwithstanding ongoing arbitration) provisional or ancillary remedies including but not limited to injunctive relief, property preservation orders, foreclosure, eviction, attachment, replevin, garnishment, and/or the appointment of a receiver, (ii) pursuing non-judicial foreclosure, or (iii) availing itself of any self-help remedies such as setoff and repossession. The exercise of such rights shall not constitute a waiver of the right to submit any Dispute to arbitration.

​

Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction except that, if the arbitration award exceeds $4,000,000, any party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal of the award before a panel of three arbitrators. To allow for such appeal, if the award (including Administrator, arbitrator, and attorney’s fees and costs) exceeds $4,000,000, the arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned decision supporting the award, including a statement of authority and its application to the Dispute. A request for de novo appeal must be filed with the arbitrator within 30 days following the date of the arbitration award; if such a request is not made within that time period, the arbitration decision shall become final and binding. On appeal, the arbitrators shall review the award de novo, meaning that they shall reach their own findings of fact and conclusions of law rather than deferring in any manner to the original arbitrator. Appeal of an arbitration award shall be pursuant to the rules of the Administrator or, if the Administrator has no such rules, then the JAMS arbitration appellate rules shall apply.

​

Arbitration under this provision concerns a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement. If the terms of this provision vary from the Administrator’s rules, this arbitration provision shall control.

​

(c)Reliance. Each party (i) certifies that no one has represented to such party that the other party would not seek to enforce jury and class action waivers in the event of suit, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements, and certifications in this Section.

​

​

69

​

10.18Limitation of Liability. BORROWER AND BANK HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MIGHT HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER FROM ANY OTHER PARTY ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES, OF WHATEVER NATURE, OTHER THAN ACTUAL DAMAGES.

​

10.19Waiver of Defenses and Release of Claims. Borrower hereby (i) represents that neither Borrower nor any affiliate or principal of Borrower has any defenses to or setoffs against any Debt or other obligations owing by Borrower, or by Borrower’s affiliates or principals, to Bank or Bank’s affiliates (the “Other Obligations”), nor any claims against Bank or Bank’s affiliates for any matter whatsoever, related or unrelated to the Other Obligations as of the date hereof, and (ii) releases Bank and Bank’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from all claims, causes of action, and costs, in law or equity, known or unknown, whether or not matured or contingent, existing as of the date hereof that Borrower has or may have by reason of any matter of any conceivable kind or character whatsoever, related or unrelated to the Other Obligations or arising under any loan document, including the Loan Documents. The foregoing release does not apply, however, to claims for future performance of express contractual obligations that mature after the date hereof that are owing to Borrower by Bank or Bank’s affiliates. Borrower acknowledges that Bank has been induced to enter into this Agreement and make the Loan by, among other things, the waivers and releases in this paragraph.

​

10.20 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law:

​

(a)subjects Bank to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Loans or payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due from Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on the overall net income of Bank);

​

(b)imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, or assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the account of, or other acquisition of funds by, Bank; or

​

(c)imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement (i) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, Bank, or (ii) otherwise applicable to the obligations of Bank under this Agreement,

​

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loans (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s capital, taking into consideration Bank’s customary policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which Bank in its sole discretion deems to be material, Bank may from time to time notify Borrower of the amount determined in good faith (using any averaging and attribution methods employed in good faith) by Bank (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be necessary to compensate Bank for such increase in cost, reduction of income, additional expense or reduced rate of return. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such

​

​

70

​

determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by Borrower to Bank within ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

​

10.21Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same document.

​

10.22Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall constitute the entire agreement of Borrower and Bank pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such parties in connection therewith.

​

10.23Document Imaging. Bank shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to image all or any selection of the Loan Documents, and other instruments, documents, items and records governing, arising from or relating to any of Borrower’s loan or loans, and may destroy or archive the paper originals. The parties hereto waive any right to insist Bank produce paper originals, agree that such images shall be accorded the same force and effect as the paper originals, and further agree that Bank is entitled to use such images in lieu of destroyed or archived originals for any purpose, including as admissible evidence in any demand, presentment or proceedings.

​

10.24Reporting Negative Information. Bank may report information about Borrower’s account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults with respect to the Loans may be reflected in such reporting.
