Loan repaid or prepaid, in whole or in part, may not be re-borrowed by the
applicable Project Borrower of such Loan or by any other Project
Borrower. In addition to the foregoing, the Loans for each Approved
Project shall be made upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Lender
will advance the Loan proceeds in accordance with this Agreement, the Mortgage
Loan Application and the applicable Project Loan Documents upon request of
the
Project Borrower.
(b) The
maximum principal amount that Lender will be required to lend pursuant to this
Agreement and all Project Loan Documents shall not exceed the Total Facility
Amount in the aggregate. For each Approved Project, and subject to
Section 2.3 above, Lender shall lend up to the Loan Amount.
(c) The
interest rate for each Loan shall be at the rate set forth in the Mortgage
Loan
Application for such Loan.
(d) Each
Loan
shall be evidenced, governed and secured by the Project Loan Documents. The
Project Loan Documents shall be consistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, consistent with the Mortgage Loan Application, consistent with the
agreed upon forms attached as Exhibit D (as the same may be modified to
reflect any state-specific provisions recommended by Lender’s local counsel and
particular terms and agreements for the applicable Loan as set out in the
Mortgage Loan Application), and otherwise on terms and conditions satisfactory
to the Lender and the Company.
(e) Lender’s
obligation to close any Loan is subject to satisfaction of the conditions set
forth on Exhibit E attached hereto (the
“ProjectClosing Conditions”), as modified from
time to time to reflect Lender’s then-current requirements and to reflect
specific requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan
Application. Each of the Project Closing Conditions is for the sole
and exclusive benefit of Lender and may be waived by Lender, in its sole and
absolute discretion from time to time, for any or no reason. The
waiver of any Closing Conditions as to any particular Loan shall not obligate
Lender to waive any Closing Conditions for any other Loan and shall not
establish a custom or course of dealing. The date on which the
closing of a Loan for a particular Approved Project occurs is sometimes referred
to herein as the “ProjectClosing
Date”.
(f) Each
Loan
is and will be cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with all other Loans
made by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Accordingly, the Loan for
each Project will be secured by, and the Project Loan Documents for each Loan
will provide for (i) a first priority lien, subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances, over all assets of every Project Borrower; and (ii) a first
priority pledge of 100% of the equity interests in every Project
Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed by Lender and
Company that, if required by applicable State laws governing the payment of
mortgage and recordation taxes, a Loan for a particular Approved Project would
require that mortgage tax be paid on the Maximum Facility Amount or any other
amount in excess of the Loan Amount for such Approved Project, the parties
agree
that in such case the mortgage encumbering such Approved Project shall secure
only the Loan Amount for such Approved Project (and shall not be
cross-collateralized with every other Loan), but in all events the pledge of
equity in such Project Borrower shall secure each and every Loan and each and
every Loan shall be, in all cases, cross-defaulted to each and every other
Loan.
(g) Any
other
debt incurred by a Project Borrower will be subordinated in every respect to
the
Loans.

Loans
shall be repaid as set forth in the Project Loan Documents.

funded or not and whether repaid or not, equals the Total Facility
Amount.

court or any administrative or regulatory agency from conducting all or any
material part of its business relating to the Project Borrowers and such order
continues for more than thirty (30) days; or (ii) any order or decree is entered
by any court of competent jurisdiction directly or indirectly enjoining or
prohibiting Company from performing any of their obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; or
(g) Invalidity
of Loan Documents. Any of the Loan Documents to which the Company
or a Project Borrower is a party for any reason, other than a partial or full
release in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, ceases to be in
full
force and effect or is declared to be null and void by a court of competent
jurisdiction, or Company or any Project Borrower denies that it has any further
liability (other than a good faith dispute as to the amount of any balance
due)
under any Loan Documents to which it is party, or gives notice to such effect;
or
(h) Project
Loan Default. The occurrence of a Project Loan Event of
Default.
6.2 Acceleration
and Remedies»
. Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 6.1(d), or 6.1(h),
payment of all Obligations shall be accelerated without notice, presentment,
demand, protest or notice of protest and shall be immediately due and payable
and, in addition, Lender may in addition to any other rights and remedies
available to Lender at law or in equity or under any other Loan Documents,
exercise one of more of the following rights and remedies as it, in its sole
discretion, deems necessary or advisable. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default (other than Facility Events of Default specified in Sections
6.1(d), and 6.1(h)), Lender, in addition to any other rights or remedies
available to Lender at law or in equity, or under any of the other Loan
Documents, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies
as
it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable:
(a) Acceleration. Declare
immediately due and payable, without further notice, protest, presentment,
notice of protest or demand, all Obligations including all monies advanced
under
this Agreement and/or any of the Loan Documents which are then unpaid, together
with all interest then accrued thereon and all other amounts then owing
(including any default interest, exit fees, or prepayment premium owed as a
result of such acceleration). If payment of the Obligations is
accelerated, Lender may, in its sole discretion, exercise all rights and
remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at law, in equity or
otherwise.
(b) No
Further Obligations. Terminate Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement and all Project Loan Documents.
(c) Injunctive
Relief. Institute appropriate proceedings for injunctive relief
(including specific performance of the obligations of Company).
(d) Project
Loan Documents. Exercise Lender’s rights and remedies under any
or all Project Loan Documents.
6.3 Remedies
Cumulative; Waivers; Reasonable Charges»
. All
of the remedies given to Lender in the Loan Documents or otherwise available
at
law or in equity to Lender shall be cumulative and, subject to applicable law,
may be exercised separately, successively or concurrently. Failure to
exercise any one of the remedies herein provided shall not constitute a waiver
thereof by Lender, nor, subject to applicable law, shall the use of any such
remedies prevent the subsequent or concurrent resort to any other remedy or
remedies vested in Lender by the Loan Documents or at law or in
equity. To be effective, any waiver by Lender must be in writing and
such waiver shall be limited in its effect to the condition or default specified
therein, and no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent condition or
default. It is agreed that (i) the actual costs and damages that
Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the
attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of
Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and
needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the
default rates, the late charges, the exit fees, the origination fees and the
prepayment premiums are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances
known to the parties at this time, and (iii) the default rates, the late
charges, the exit fees, the origination fees and Lender’s reasonable attorneys’
fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of
Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided
herein, and (iv) the default rates, late charges, the exit fees, the origination
fees, prepayment premiums, and the obligation to pay Lender’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or
collectively, constitute a penalty.
SECTION

may sell, transfer or assign its entire interest or one or more participation
interests in this Agreement, and, individually or collectively, the Loans and
the Project Loan Documents, at any time and from time to time, including,

financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, Leases, rent rolls,
and
all other materials, documents and information in Lender’s possession or which

furnish to such Investors or such prospective Investors or such rating agency,
on a confidential basis, any and all information concerning the Projects, the
Leases, the financial condition of the Company and the Project Borrowers as

any rating agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participation
interest.
SECTION

MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Miscellaneous»
. No
provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course
of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any relationship
between Lender and Company other than the contractual relationship set forth
in
the Agreement, any relationship between a Project Borrower and Lender (other
than that of debtor and creditor) or any fiduciary duty by Lender to Company
or
any other Person. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other
professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right
to
act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of loyalty,
duty of care or any other duty to Company. By accepting or approving
anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to
Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have
warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal
effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such
acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or
representation with respect hereto or thereto by Lender. Company
acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings
and
other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse
to
or competitive with the business of Company or any Project
Borrower. Section or Paragraph headings in this Agreement are
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute
a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive
effect. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall not
affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement is
made for the sole benefit of Company and Lender, and no other Person shall
be
deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon
to
any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other Person have any
right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary
hereunder. This Agreement embodies the final, entire agreement among
the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior commitments, agreements,
representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the
subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of
prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the
parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties
hereto. This Agreement and the Project Loan Documents and any
amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any number
of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of
which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof
by each of the parties hereto.
8.2 Indemnity»
. Company
agrees to indemnify, pay, defend and hold Lender, its officers, directors,
members, partners, shareholders, participants, beneficiaries, trustees,
employees, agents, successors and assigns, any subsequent holder of any Loan,
any trustee, fiscal agent, servicer, underwriter and placement agent
(collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, causes of action, suits, claims, tax liabilities, broker’s or finders
fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees
in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated
a
party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that
Indemnitee, based upon any third party claims against such Indemnitees in any
manner related to or arising out of any breach by Company of any representation,
warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained in this
Agreement. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay,
defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Company
shall
contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities
incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. If any such action or
other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from
Company to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to
Company of such action or proceeding), Company shall be entitled to assume
the
defense thereof, at Company’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate
counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be
deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Company
expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee
shall, following notice to and consultation with Company, have the right to
employ separate counsel at Company’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of
legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnitee
and Company that would make such separate representation
advisable. Company shall have no obligation to indemnify an
Indemnitee for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction that has become final by virtue of appeal or lapse of time for
appeal.
