(b)           Lender shall advance the Initial Advance on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Title Company for the benefit of Borrower.

17




 

notwithstanding.  All payments made on the Loan while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be applied (except as may be otherwise required by applicable Governmental Requirements) to the Obligation in such order and manner as Lender may determine, any instructions from Borrower or any other Person to the contrary notwithstanding.  Subject to the foregoing limitations, Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, apply payments first to satisfy the portion of the Obligation, if any, for which Borrower or any other Person has no personal, partnership or corporate liability, if any, and then to the remaining Obligation.

2.05         Origination Fee.  Contemporaneously with its execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Lender an Origination Fee (herein so called) in the amount of Three Hundred Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($316,500.00), in consideration for the agreement of Lender to enter into this Agreement.

2.06         Advances.

(a)           Timing of Advances.  Advances for the payment of the cost of labor, materials, and services supplied for the construction of the Improvements shall be made by Lender upon compliance by Borrower with the terms and conditions contained in this Loan Agreement after actual commencement of construction of the Improvements for work actually done during the preceding period.  From time to time, but no more frequently than monthly, Borrower may submit to Lender an Application for Advance requesting an Advance under the Loan for the payment of the cost of labor, materials, and services supplied for the construction of the Improvements and for the payment of other costs and expenses incident to the Loan or the construction of the Improvements and specified in the Approved Budget.  Lender may require an inspection of, and favorable report on, the Improvements by the Inspecting Architect/Engineer prior to making any Advance.  Each Application for Advance shall be submitted by Borrower to Lender a reasonable time (but not less than five (5) Business Days) prior to the date upon which the Advance requested is desired by Borrower.  Borrower shall be entitled to an Advance only in an amount approved by Lender.

(b)           Limitation on Advances.  Advances for payment of the cost of construction of the Improvements shall not exceed the aggregate of (i) the cost of labor, materials, and services incorporated into the Improvements in a manner acceptable to Lender and as specified in the Approved Budget, plus (ii) the purchase price of all uninstalled materials to be utilized in the construction of the Improvements and stored upon the Property, or elsewhere with the written consent of, and in a manner acceptable to, Lender, less (iii) retainage of not less than ten percent (10%), and less (iv) all prior Advances made for payment of the cost of labor, materials, and services for the construction of the Improvements.  No Advances shall be made after the Construction Commitment Termination Date.

(c)           Final Advance.  The final Advance, including all retainage, will not be made until the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of final completion and acceptance by Lender of the Improvements, and in any event not until Lender has received the following with respect to the Improvements and the Loan; (i) a certificate from the Inspecting

18




 

Architects/Engineers certifying to Lender that the Improvements have been completed substantially in accordance with the Plans, (ii) evidence that no mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or other encumbrances have been filed and remain in effect against the Improvements, (iii) evidence that all Governmental Requirements have been satisfied, including without limitation, delivery to Lender of a Certificate of Occupancy permitting the Improvements to be legally occupied, and (iv) a liens paid affidavit executed by Borrower and the Contractor to the effect that (and/or, at Lender’s request, final lien releases or waivers evidencing to Lender’s satisfaction that) all subcontractors, materialmen, and other parties who have supplied labor, materials, or services for the construction of the Improvements, or who otherwise might be entitled to claim a contractual, statutory, or constitutional lien against the Property, have been paid in full with respect to the Improvements, or Borrower, at its option, may provide to Lender a Bond indemnifying Against Liens (pursuant to Tex. Property Code §53.171) in such amount as Lender may reasonably require.

(d)           Interest Reserve Advances.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the sum of Three Million One Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand Four Hundred Seventy Five and No/100 Dollars ($3,138,475.00) of the Loan as specified or to be specified in the Approved Budget represents a reserve for the payment of interest upon the full amount of the Advances of the Loan (the “Interest Reserve”) pursuant to this Loan Agreement.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, and Lender shall have the right, to disburse and charge (or cause to be disbursed and charged) the Interest Reserve in reimbursement of Borrower for the interest payments made by Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the other Security Documents on each interest payment date as such interest payments become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Note.  Such disbursements shall be made as Advances of the Loan, in amounts equal to the accrued interest which has been paid on each of such interest payment dates.  Interest as provided in the Note will be charged on any disbursed portion of the Interest Reserve as and when disbursed, but interest will not be charged on the undisbursed portion of the Interest Reserve.  If, at any time during the term of the Loan, the Interest Reserve shall become depleted or shall be deemed by Lender to be insufficient to reimburse Borrower for the interest payments on the Loan as they are made, interest shall be payable on each interest payment date in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Note, and Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance to Borrower for any such interest payments from the remaining proceeds of the Loan.  The Interest Reserve shall be available only for disbursement of the periodic payments of accrued interest due to Lender on the Loan pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement and the Note, and for no other purpose.  If, at any time, Lender shall not have received on the date due, any payment of interest upon the Loan, Lender may, at its sole option, disburse the Interest Reserve directly in payment of such interest amount.  Advances of the Interest Reserve shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 2.11 and 2.12.

and employees (collectively, the “indemnitee”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action that are asserted against any indemnitee by any Person if the claim, demand, action, or cause of action relates to a claim, demand, action, or cause of action that the Person asserts or may assert against Borrower, any Guarantor or any of the Property, (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any indemnitee if the claim, demand, action or cause of action directly or indirectly relates to the failure of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person to perform or comply with any of the terms, covenants or provisions of this Loan Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents, (c) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any indemnitee if the claim, demand, action or cause of action directly or indirectly relates to any failure of condition or any other breach or default under any Governmental Requirement applicable to Borrower, any Guarantor or any of the Property, (d) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority directly or indirectly related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, and (e) any and all liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) that any indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section 4.12 to any indemnitee with respect to any of the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee or any of such indemnitee’s agents or employees nor shall Borrower have any obligation under this Section 4.12 to any indemnitee with respect to any negligent act of Lender in operating or managing the Property after Lender has taken possession thereof.  If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any indemnitee, such indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to do so shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this Section 4.12 unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided.  If requested by Borrower in writing and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such indemnitee shall in good faith contest the validity, applicability and the amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest.  Any indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s concurrence thereto.  Each indemnitee is authorized to employ counsel in enforcing its rights hereunder and in defending against any claim, demand, action, or cause of action covered by this Section 4.12; provided, however, that each indemnitee shall endeavor, but shall not be obligated, in connection with any matter covered by this Section 4.12 which also involves other indemnitees, to use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all indemnitees.

4.13         Further Assurances.  Borrower will make, execute or endorse, and acknowledge and deliver or file or cause the same to be done, all such vouchers, invoices, notices, certifications, additional agreements, undertakings, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, transfers, assignments, financing statements or other assurances, and take all such other action, as Lender may, from time to time, deem reasonably necessary or proper in connection with this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the obligations of Borrower hereunder or thereunder, or for better assuring and confirming unto Lender all or any part of the security for any of the Obligation.

37




 

4.14         Construction Contracts.  Borrower shall become party to no contract, for the performance of any work on the Property or for the supplying of any labor, materials, or services for the construction of any improvements on the Property except upon such terms and with such parties as shall be reasonably approved in advance in writing by Lender.  Contemporaneously with the execution by Borrower of any construction contract for construction of any of the Improvements, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Contractor’s Affidavit and Subordination executed by the Contractor.  Each Construction Contract shall provide that all liens of the contractor are subordinate to the Mortgage and shall require all subcontracts entered into by the contractor to contain a provision subordinating the subcontractor’s liens to the lien of the Mortgage.  No change orders requiring an increase in the cost of any labor, materials or services in connection with the Property in excess of $100,000 per change order, or in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate of increases required by all change orders, shall be effective without the prior written approval of Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change order which results in a change in the Approved Budget which is not permitted by Section 4.16 may be made.  No approval by Lender of any construction contract or change order shall impose upon Lender any responsibility for the adequacy, form, or content of such construction contract or any change orders.

4.19         Inspection of the Property.  Borrower shall permit Lender, the Inspecting Architect/Engineer, any Governmental Authority, and their respective agents and representatives, to enter upon the Property and any locations where materials intended to be utilized in the construction of any part of the Improvements are stored, for the purpose of inspection of the Property,  the Improvements, and such materials at all reasonable times.

4.22         The Borrower’s Deposit.  If Lender reasonably determines at any time that the unadvanced portion of the Loan will be insufficient for payment in full of (i) the costs of labor, materials, and services required for the construction of the Improvements, (ii) other costs and expenses specified in the Approved Budget, and (iii) other costs and expenses required to be paid in connection with the acquisition and financing of the Land and the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and any Governmental Requirements, then Borrower shall, within five (5) days of a written request from Lender, deliver such funds as Lender may require (the “Borrower’s Deposit”) to Lender.  Lender shall not be required to pay interest on such Borrower’s Deposit.  Lender may advance all or a portion of the Borrower’s Deposit prior to disbursing any additional proceeds of the Loan.  Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing if and when the cost of the construction of the Improvements exceeds, or appears likely to exceed, the amount of the unadvanced portion of the Loan and the unadvanced portion of the Borrower’s Deposit.

4.23         Direct Disbursement and Application by Lender.  Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to disburse and directly apply the proceeds of any Advance to the satisfaction of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  Any Advance by Lender for such purpose, except from the Borrower’s Deposit, shall be part of the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instruments.  Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any disbursements made directly by Lender; provided, however, Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for failure to deliver such notice.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to hold, use, disburse, and apply the proceeds of the Loan and the Borrower’s Deposit for payment of the costs of construction of the Improvements, expenses

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Lender assumes no liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, applicable Governmental Requirements or restrictive covenants, or the Management Agreement, or other control over the management and affairs of Borrower, nor by any such action shall Lender be deemed to create a partnership with Borrower.

8.02         Acceleration.  At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, declare the Loan and the remaining Obligation to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and non-payment, or other notice of default, notice of acceleration and intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower; provided, however, that if any Event of Default specified in Article VII(e) hereof shall occur, the principal of and all interest on the Loan shall thereupon become due and payable concurrently therewith, without any further action by Lender and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and non-payment, or other notice of default, notice of acceleration and intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

47

8.07         Other Rights and Remedies. Unless such document expressly allows Lender to act prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and with or without accelerating the maturity of the Loan, Lender may proceed to take and enforce any of its rights, interests, benefits or privileges under the Loan Documents or which may be otherwise available to Lender, at law or in equity.

8.08         No Waiver or Exhaustion.  No waiver by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent right or remedy of Lender; no delay or omission in the exercise or enforcement by Lender of any rights or remedies shall ever be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy of Lender; and, no exercise or enforcement of any such rights or remedies shall ever be held to exhaust any right or remedy of Lender.

8.09         Right of Offset.  Borrower hereby grants to Lender a right of offset, to secure the repayment of the Obligation, upon any and all monies, securities or other property of Borrower, and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to Lender, from or for the account of Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special) and credits of Borrower, and any and all claims of Borrower against Lender at any time existing.  At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce said liens against any and all items hereinabove referred to against the Loan and the remaining Obligation.  Borrower waives any right of Borrower to require or request that Lender look to any of the Property or Collateral for repayment of the Obligation prior to exercising its right of offset and waives any obligation of Lender to do so.

8.10         Application of Insurance Proceeds..

(a)           Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any damage, destruction or casualty to the Property or any part thereof, whether or not covered by insurance.

(b)           Lender may collect the proceeds of any and all insurance required to be carried under this Loan Agreement that may become payable with respect to the Property or any portion thereof (and Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each insurance company to make payment of such proceeds directly to Lender at Lender’s request) and, at Lender’s sole option, may apply the same to the Obligation in the order and manner as Lender may determine, or use all such casualty proceeds to allow Borrower to restore or rebuild the Property so damaged to a condition reasonably satisfactory to Lender provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Lender determines in good faith that it is economically, financially and practically feasible to repair and restore the Property to its previous condition, with such repairs and restorations being completed prior to the Maturity Date; (ii) the total cost of repairing and restoring the Property to its previous condition, as estimated by an architect approved by Lender, shall not be greater than the amount of such casualty insurance proceeds together with any sums that Borrower deposits with Lender in advance for the purpose of paying for the cost of such repairs and restoration; (iii) such restoration and repair shall be accomplished in accordance with the requirements and conditions of Section 8.10(c) hereof; and (iv) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the request of Borrower, Lender shall make such insurance proceeds available to Borrower to restore or rebuild the Property if the insurance proceeds payable with respect to any damage, destruction or casualty do not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00); provided, that the conditions set forth in subsections (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above have been satisfied.  To the extent Lender makes such proceeds available to restore or rebuild, the Improvements shall be repaired and restored so as to be of at least equal value in substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction on or before the Maturity Date.  If such casualty proceeds are made available by Lender to Borrower, any surplus which may remain out of said insurance proceeds after payment of all costs and expenses of such repair and restoration shall, at the option of Lender, be applied as a payment or prepayment of the Obligation.

(c)           Any restoration or repair shall be commenced with due diligence and in good faith by Borrower and all funds held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.10 shall be paid out from time to time as such restoration and repair progresses upon the written approval of Lender and the written request of Borrower, which requests shall be submitted in form and substance, and with supporting notices, documentation and waivers as may be required by Lender.

(d)           Prior to application or disbursal of any casualty insurance proceeds under this Section 8.10, Lender may deduct therefrom any expenses incurred in connection with the collection or handling of such proceeds, it being understood and agreed that Lender shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect, or

49




 

exercise diligence in the collection of, any such proceeds, and Lender shall provide Borrower a written summary of all expenses deducted from such proceeds.

(e)           In the event the Mortgage is foreclosed, or title to any of the Property is transferred in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the indebtedness secured thereby, or by transfer or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, and in connection therewith all right, title, and interest of Borrower in and to all Insurance Policies passes to (i.e., is purchased by) such transferee or purchaser, the Insurance Policies shall inure to the benefit of and pass to such successor in interest of Borrower or the Purchaser.

(f)            Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 8.10 to the contrary, if the casualty proceeds exceed the Obligation then outstanding, Borrower may use such proceeds to first repay the Obligation in full, and upon receipt of funds sufficient to repay the Obligation in full, Lender shall release the balance of the casualty proceeds to Borrower.

8.11         Application of Condemnation Proceeds.

(a)           Lender shall be entitled to receive any and all sums which may be awarded or become payable to Borrower for the condemnation of any of the Property for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or become payable to Borrower for damages caused by public works or construction on or near the Property (collectively, “Condemnation Proceeds”).  All such Condemnation Proceeds are hereby assigned to Lender, and Borrower shall, upon request of Lender, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all additional assignments and documents as may be necessary from time to time to enable Lender to collect and receipt for any such Condemnation Proceeds.  Lender shall not, under any circumstances, be liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any such Condemnation Proceeds.

(b)           Lender shall, upon Borrower’s written request and so long as no Event of Default has occurred, make all Minor Condemnation Proceeds available to Borrower to allow Borrower to repair, renovate or reconstruct the Property to a condition reasonably satisfactory to Lender, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)            Lender determines in good faith that following the contemplated repairs, renovation or reconstruction, the Property shall not fail to comply with the Management Agreement or any Governmental Requirement or other restriction affecting the Property, and any changes in the Property resulting therefrom will not materially adversely affect the operation or use of the Property (including, without limitation, access, parking, food and beverage service, security or amenities);

(ii)           Lender determines in good faith that it is economically, financially and practically feasible to repair, renovate or reconstruct the Property to a condition substantially equivalent to the condition of the Property prior to such condemnation, with such repairs, renovation or reconstruction being completed prior to the Maturity Date;

50




 

(iii)          The total cost of repairing, renovating or reconstructing the Property to a condition substantially equivalent to the condition of the Property prior to such condemnation, as approved by Lender, and in accordance with the requirements of subsections (c)(i) and (ii) herein, as estimated by an architect approved by Lender, shall not be greater than the amount of the Condemnation Proceeds, together with any sums that Borrower deposits with Lender in advance for the purpose of paying for the cost of such repairs, renovation or reconstruction;

(iv)          Such renovation, repairs or reconstruction shall be accomplished in accordance with the requirements and conditions of Section 8.11(d) hereof; and

(v)           Lender in good faith believes that prior to completion of such repair, renovation or reconstruction, sufficient income and revenues will be available from the Property to pay Total Debt Service and Expenses during the period of such repair, renovation and reconstruction.

To the extent Lender makes Condemnation Proceeds available to renovate, repair or reconstruct, the Improvements shall be renovated, repaired or reconstructed so as to be of at least equal quality as the quality of the Property prior to such condemnation on or before the Maturity Date.  If such Condemnation Proceeds are made available by Lender to Borrower, any surplus which may remain out of such Condemnation Proceeds after payment of all costs and expenses of such repair, renovation or reconstruction, shall, at the option of Lender, be applied as a payment or prepayment of the Obligation.

(c)           Any repairs, renovation or reconstruction, shall be commenced with due diligence and in good faith by Borrower and all funds held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.11 shall be paid out from time to time as such repair, renovation, reconstruction or satisfaction progresses upon the written approval of Lender and the written request of Borrower, which request shall be submitted in form and substance, and with supporting notices, documentation and waivers as may be required by Lender.

(d)           If (i) the conditions to Lender’s obligation to make the Condemnation Proceeds available to Borrower as set forth in Section 8.11(c) hereof are not satisfied, (ii) an Event of Default has occurred, (iii) the Condemnation Proceeds are not Minor Condemnation Proceeds, or (iv) Borrower does not request that Lender make such Minor Condemnation Proceeds available to Borrower to repair, renovate or reconstruct the Property, Lender may apply the Condemnation Proceeds to the Obligation in the order and manner as Lender may determine, or as otherwise provided in this Loan Agreement.

(e)           Prior to application or disbursal of any Condemnation Proceeds under this Section 8.11, Lender may deduct therefrom any expenses incurred in connection with the collection or handling of such Condemnation Proceeds, it being understood and agreed that Lender shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any such Condemnation Proceeds.

51




 

8.12         Third Party Payments  Whenever this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document requires that amounts payable by a third party be paid directly to Lender, Lender may enforce such right with a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order.  Borrower agrees that irreparable harm may result if such payments are not made directly to Lender.  Borrower agrees not to oppose a motion for such injunction or restraining order.

8.13         Protective Advances.  If  Borrower has failed to keep or perform any covenant whatsoever contained in any Loan Document, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to any person to, perform or attempt to perform said covenant, and any payment made or expense incurred in the performance or attempted performance of any such covenant shall be a part of the Obligation, and Borrower promises, upon demand, to pay to Lender all sums so advanced or paid by Lender, with interest at the Default Rate from the date when paid or incurred by Lender.  No such payment by Lender shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.  In addition to the Liens of the Loan Documents, Lender shall be subrogated to all rights, titles, liens, and security interests securing the payment of any debt, claim, tax, or assessment for the payment of which Lender may make an advance, or which Lender may pay.

8.14         Tax and Insurance Escrow.  At the request of Lender after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall create a  reserve for the payment of all insurance premiums, taxes and assessments against the Property by paying to Lender, on each Payment Date, a sum equal to the premiums that will next become due and payable on the hazard Insurance Policies covering the Property, or any part thereof, plus taxes and assessments next due on the Property, or any part thereof, as estimated by Lender, less all sums paid previously to Lender therefor, divided by the number of installments of principal and/or interest to elapse before one month prior to the date when such premiums, taxes and assessments will become delinquent, such sums to be held by Lender for the purposes of paying such premiums, taxes and assessments.  Upon notice from Lender to Borrower, any excess reserve may, at the discretion of Lender, be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made on the Obligation by Borrower, and any deficiency shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on or before the date when such premiums, taxes and assessments shall have become delinquent.  Transfer of legal title to the Property shall automatically transfer title to any sums deposited under the provisions of this Section 8.15.

8.15         Waiver of Offset Right Deficiency Statute.  To the extent such statute is ever determined applicable by a court of competent jurisdiction in spite of the location of the Property in the State of Colorado, Borrower hereby knowingly and intentionally waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Guarantor, the right of offset granted by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code.

Failure to deliver copies of notices to parties other than Borrower and Lender shall not affect the effectiveness or validity of notices otherwise properly given.  Any party may change its address for purposes of this Loan Agreement by giving ten (10) days written notice of such change to the other parties pursuant to this Section 9.01.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, in the event that Lender shall fail to give any notice to any Person required hereunder or thereunder, the sole and exclusive remedy for such failure shall be to seek appropriate equitable

53




 

relief to enforce this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to give such notice and to have any action of such Person postponed or revoked and any proceedings in connection therewith delayed or terminated pending the giving of such notice by Lender, and no Person shall have any right to damages (whether actual or consequential) or any other type of relief not herein specifically set out against Lender, all of which damages or other relief are expressly waived.  The foregoing is not intended and shall not be deemed under any circumstances to require Lender to give notice of any type or nature to any Person except as expressly required hereby or thereby, or by applicable Governmental Requirements.

9.02         Modifications.  No provision of this Loan Agreement or of the other Loan Documents may be modified, waived, or terminated except by an instrument in writing executed by Borrower and Lender.

9.03         Form and Substance.  All documents, certificates, Insurance Policies, and other items required pursuant to the provisions of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document to be executed and/or delivered to Lender shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

9.04         No Third Party Beneficiary.  This Loan Agreement is for the sole benefit of Lender and Borrower, and is not for the benefit of any third party.

9.05         Availability of Records; Confidentiality.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may provide to any Participant or proposed Assignee or  Participant, originals or copies of this Loan Agreement, all Loan Documents and all other documents, certificates, opinions, letters of credit, reports, acquisitions and other material and information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrower or received by Lender in connection with the Loan or the Property.

9.06         Number and Gender.  Whenever used herein, the singular number shall include the plural and the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders.

9.07         Captions.  The captions, headings, and arrangements used in this Loan Agreement are for convenience only and do not in any way affect, limit, amplify, or modify the terms and provisions hereof.

9.08         Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower or any other Person herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lender and shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note evidencing the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as all or any portion of the Obligation is outstanding.

9.09         Parties Bound; Assignment.

(a)           The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower

54




 

may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.

(b)           Lender may at any time grant to one or more financial institutions or other entities (each a “Participant”) a participating interest in the Loan.  In the event of any such grant by Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Borrower shall not be responsible for the payment of any taxes associated with the grant of a participating interest in the Loan to any Participant as a result of the Participant’s domicile being other than within the United States of America.

(c)           (i)            Lender may at any time assign to one or more financial institutions or other entities (an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Note.

9.10         Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Consent to Service of Process and Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other aspects of the lending transaction contemplated herein and evidenced by the Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas or the laws of the United States, as applicable.  Any suit, action or proceeding against Borrower with respect to this Loan Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof, may be brought in the courts of the State of Texas or in the United States Courts located in the Northern District of Texas as Lender in its sole discretion may elect, and Borrower hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action or proceeding.  Borrower hereby agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of Texas may be brought upon its process agent appointed below, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Gerald J. Reihsen, III, whose address is 15601 Dallas Parkway, Suite 600, Addison, Texas 75001, its process agent, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in the name, place and stead of Borrower to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses.  Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said court by the mailing thereof by Lender by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Borrower’s address set forth in Section 9.01 hereof.  Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document brought in the courts located in the State of Texas, County of Dallas, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. BORROWER AND LENDER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALING OF ASSETS BY LENDER, WITH RESPECT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE.

55




 

9.11         Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  By accepting payment of any portion of the Obligation after its due date, Lender does not waive its right to require prompt payment when due of all other portions of the Obligation or to declare an Event of Default for failure so to pay.

9.12         Waivers.  No failure or delay of Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Person therefrom shall in any event be effective unless signed in writing by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice or demand on Borrower or any other Person in any case shall entitle Borrower or such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

9.13         Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Documents should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

9.14         Counterparts.  This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, with the same effect as if all of the parties had signed the same document.  All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute one agreement.

9.15         Maximum Interest Rate.  It is the intention of each of Lender and Borrower to comply with all applicable federal and state Laws relating to usury; that is, laws limiting charges for the use, detention or forbearance of money and governing contracts relating thereto.  Accordingly, this Agreement and all agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the Obligation, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned under the Note or otherwise, or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan Document exceed the Maximum Rate.  In the event Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest, any excess amount which would be excessive interest, that amount shall be treated as a principal prepayment under the Note and applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Note; provided that, if the principal of the Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower.  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Note; provided that, if the Note is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term of

56




 

the Note, and if the interest received by Lender for the actual period of existence of the Note exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess, and, in such event, Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Rate.   To the extent that Lender is relying on the laws of the State of Texas for purposes of determining the Maximum Rate, such term shall mean the interest rate ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as may be hereafter amended or recodified.  To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge or receive a greater amount of interest, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as may be hereafter amended or recodified, for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate.  Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, implement any other method of computing the Maximum Rate under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as may be hereafter amended or recodified, or under other applicable Law, by giving Borrower the notice required by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.  In no event shall the Loan be considered a revolving credit account as defined in Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code, as may be hereafter amended or recodified.  The terms and provisions of this Section 9.15 shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and of all agreements with respect to the Loan between Borrower and Lender in the event of a conflict in such provisions.

9.16         Binding Effect.  This Loan Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Lender.

9.17         Controlling Document.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Loan Agreement shall control.

9.18         Final Release.  Full payment of the Note by Borrower or any other Person shall automatically constitute a full release of any claims or causes of action existing as of the date of such payment in favor of Borrower or any other party, in connection with the Loan, this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent that such claim relates to (i) alleged failure of Lender or its Affiliates to act in good faith or deal fairly, (ii) alleged oral agreements to modify the terms of this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, (iii) alleged, special or fiduciary relationship between Borrower and Lender, and (iv) tortuous interference with, or control, over the management of Borrower.

9.19         Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

9.20         Liability.  Any obligation or liability of  Borrower hereunder shall be enforceable only against, and payable only out of, the property of Borrower, and in no event shall any officer, director, shareholder, partner, beneficiary, agent, advisor or employee of Borrower, be held to any personal liability whatsoever or be liable for any of the obligations of the parties hereunder, or the property of any such Persons be subject to the payment of any such obligations, except in the case of certain Persons as otherwise specifically provided in the Loan Documents and where such Persons have executed a written agreement pertaining thereto.
