Construction Loan Agreement

This Construction Loan Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 16th day of November, 2010, by and between Campus Crest at Valdosta, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), and Community & Southern Bank, a Georgia bank (“Lender”).

Recitals

Borrower has applied to Lender for a loan to finance certain costs related to the construction and development of improvements on real property in which Borrower has acquired or is acquiring an interest. Lender has agreed to make the loan on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the other documents evidencing and securing the loan.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises, and in further consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) paid by each party to the other, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

Agreements

Article I
General Information.

Section 1.1 Conditions to Closing.

The conditions precedent to closing the Loan and recording the Mortgage, unless waived or modified by Lender, are set forth in the Closing Checklist.

Section 1.2 Schedules.

The Schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

Section 1.3 Defined Terms.

Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Preamble hereto and in Schedule 1.

Article II
Advances of the Loan.

Section 2.1 The Loan.

Borrower agrees to borrow the Loan from Lender, and Lender agrees to lend the Loan to Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, in incremental advances which will not exceed, in the aggregate, the Loan Amount. Interest shall accrue and be payable in arrears only on sums advanced hereunder for the period of time outstanding. The Loan is not a revolving loan; amounts repaid may not be re-borrowed.

Section 2.2 Purpose; Reallocation; Revenues from Property.

The Loan shall be advanced by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to pay those expenses related to the Loan and the Property that are described in the Budget, but not, in the aggregate with respect to any line item set forth in the Budget, in excess of the amount of the Loan to be disbursed for such line item, as set forth in the Budget. Borrower will receive each advance in trust for the purpose of paying only those costs for which the advance is made and will utilize the funds advanced for no other purpose. With the prior approval of Lender, any cost savings, actual or estimated, affecting any approved line item within the Budget, other than the interest reserve, may be reallocated by Borrower to any other line item within the Budget. Lender agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay any Budget line item reallocation requests from Borrower, with Lender agreeing to use good faith efforts to approve or disapprove any such requested reallocation within ten (10) business days of Borrower’s written request. Upon completion of the Improvements and the payment of all costs in connection therewith, any undisbursed proceeds of the Loan shall be allocated to the interest reserve or to such other line item as Lender shall approve. Each disbursement from a contingency reserve shall be subject to approval by Lender as to the amount and purpose for which such disbursement will be used. If and when revenues are derived from the Property in amounts sufficient to pay all or any portion of the operating expenses of the Property or all or any portion of the interest on the Loan, revenues will be used to pay such expenses and/or interest, and Lender, at its sole option, may restrict or prohibit future disbursements of the Loan for such purposes to the extent that revenues are sufficient to pay such amounts.

Section 2.3 Draw Requests.

Advances shall be made not more frequently than twice monthly based on draw requests signed by an Authorized Signer in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 or in another form approved by Lender. Each draw request for hard costs shall be set forth on AIA Forms G702 and G703 or another form approved by Lender, and shall be reviewed by the Construction Consultant and signed by the General Contractor. Draw requests for hard costs shall show the percentage of completion of construction and shall set forth in trade breakdown form and in such detail as may be required by Lender the amounts expended and/or costs incurred for work done and materials incorporated in the Improvements. Additional requirements for advances, including the terms under which retainage will be withheld and released, are set forth in Schedule 5. Each draw request shall be supported by such information and documentation (such as paid receipts, invoices, statements of accounts, lien releases, etc.) as Lender may require to assure that amounts requested are to be used to reimburse Borrower for costs previously paid by Borrower or to pay costs incurred by Borrower that are to be paid from proceeds of the Loan, as set forth in the Budget. Unless reasonably requested by Lender in any instance, Borrower will not be required to provide any individual invoice for soft costs for an amount less than or equal to $5,000.00 in support of a draw request.

Section 2.4 Additional Terms Regarding Advances.

Advances of the Loan shall also be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 5.

Section 2.5 Liability of Lender.

Lender shall in no event be responsible or liable to any Person other than Borrower for the disbursement of or failure to disburse the Loan proceeds or any part thereof and neither the General Contractor, Construction Consultant nor any subcontractor, laborer or material supplier shall have any right or claim against Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.6 Letters of Credit.

All Letters of Credit and drawings thereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Schedule 7.

Article III
Representations and Warranties.

Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:

Section 3.1 Organization, Power and Authority of Borrower; Loan Documents.

Borrower (a) is a limited liability company duly organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which it is organized and is duly qualified to do business and in good standing in the state in which the Land is located (if different from the state of its formation) and in any other state where the nature of Borrower’s business or property requires it to be qualified to do business, and (b) has the power, authority and legal right to own its property and carry on the business now being conducted by it and to engage in the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower, and the execution and delivery of, and the carrying out of the transactions contemplated by, such Loan Documents, and the performance and observance of the terms and conditions thereof, have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action by and on behalf of Borrower. The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of Borrower and are fully enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that such enforceability may be limited by laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

Section 3.2 Other Documents; Laws.

The execution and performance of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not conflict with, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, the organizational documents of Borrower, or any contract, agreement, document or other instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its properties may be bound or affected, and such actions do not and will not violate or contravene any Law to which Borrower is subject.

Section 3.3 Taxes.

Borrower has filed all federal, state, county and municipal Tax returns required to have been filed by Borrower and has paid all Taxes which have become due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any Tax assessments received by Borrower.

Section 3.4 Legal Actions.

There are no Claims or investigations by or before any court or Governmental Authority, pending, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge and belief, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Borrower’s business or the Property. Borrower is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or any Governmental Authority affecting Borrower or the Property.

Section 3.5 Nature of Loan.

Borrower is a business or commercial organization. The Loan is being obtained solely for business or investment purposes, and will not be used for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

Section 3.6 Trade Names.

Borrower conducts its business solely under the name set forth in the Preamble to this Agreement and makes use of no trade names in connection therewith, unless such trade names have been previously disclosed to Lender in writing. Lender hereby acknowledges Borrower’s use of the name “The Grove.”

Section 3.7 Financial Statements.

The financial statements heretofore delivered by Borrower and Guarantor to Lender are true and correct in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with sound accounting principles consistently applied, and fairly present the respective financial conditions of the subjects thereof as of the respective dates thereof.

Section 3.8 ERISA and Prohibited Transactions.

As of the date hereof and throughout the term of the Loan: (a) Borrower is not and will not be (i) an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, (ii) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, or (iii) a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e) of the Code; (b) the assets of Borrower do not and will not constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of the United States Department of Labor Regulations set forth in Section 2510.3-101 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations; (c) transactions by or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to state statutes applicable to Borrower regulating investments of fiduciaries with respect to governmental plans; and (d) Borrower will not engage in any transaction that would cause any Obligation or any action taken or to be taken hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence of compliance with the provisions of this Section as Lender may from time to time request.

Section 3.9 Compliance with Zoning and Other Requirements.

The anticipated use of the Property complies with applicable zoning ordinances, regulations and restrictive covenants affecting the Land. All use and other requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property have been satisfied or will be satisfied prior to Completion of Construction. No material violation of any Law exists with respect to the Property.

Section 3.10 Plans and Specifications.

The Plans and Specifications are complete and adequate for the Construction of the Improvements. The Plans and Specifications have been approved (or will be approved prior to commencement of construction of vertical Improvements on the Land) by all Governmental Authorities having or claiming jurisdiction over the Property and by the beneficiary of each restrictive covenant affecting the Property whose approval is required. The Plans and Specifications have also been approved by any tenant and by any prospective purchaser of the Property or provider of permanent financing for the Property whose approval is required. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Improvements, if

constructed substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, will fully comply with all applicable Laws, including those Laws relating to access and facilities for disabled persons.

Section 3.11 Building Permits; Other Permits.

All building, construction and other permits necessary or required in connection with the Construction of the Improvements have been validly issued or will be issued in a timely manner by a date sufficient to ensure commencement of construction and Completion of Construction in accordance with the Project Schedule.

Following the issuance thereof, all permits will remain in full force and effect.

Section 3.12 Utilities.

All utility services necessary for the Construction of the Improvements and the operation thereof for their intended purposes are available at the boundaries of the Land (or will be available upon the completion of work shown in the Plans and Specifications), including telephone service, cable television, water supply, storm and sanitary sewer facilities, natural gas (if applicable) and electric facilities, including cabling for telephonic and data communication, and the capacity to send and receive wireless communication.

Section 3.13 Access; Roads.

All roads and other accesses necessary for the Construction of the Improvements and full utilization thereof for their intended purposes have either been completed or the necessary rights of way therefor have either been acquired by the appropriate Governmental Authority, or have been dedicated to public use and accepted by such Governmental Authority and all necessary steps have been taken by Borrower or such Governmental Authority to assure the complete construction and installation thereof by a date sufficient to ensure the Completion of Construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Project Schedule.

Section 3.14 Other Liens.

Except for contracts for labor, materials and services furnished or to be furnished in connection with the Construction of the Improvements, Borrower has made no contract or arrangement of any kind the performance of which by the other party thereto would give rise to a lien on the Property.

Section 3.15 No Material Adverse Change.

No material adverse change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected in the financial statements of Borrower or Guarantor since the respective dates of such statements, and no material additional liabilities have been incurred by Borrower since the dates of such statements other than the borrowings contemplated herein or as approved in writing by Lender.

Section 3.16 Defaults.

There is no Default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, and there is no material default or event of default under any material contract, agreement or other document related to the Construction of the Improvements or the operation thereof, except for defaults under Leases that may

occur from time to time but which will not result in a material adverse effect on Borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 3.17 Affirmation of Representations and Warranties.

Each draw request and each receipt of the funds requested thereby shall constitute an affirmation that (a) the foregoing representations and warranties of Borrower are true and correct as of the date of the draw request and, unless Lender is notified to the contrary prior to the disbursement of the advance requested, will be so on the date of the disbursement, (b) the work completed to the date of the draw request is of quality and in all other material respects consistent with the Plans and Specifications, and (c) if applicable, Construction of the Improvements is proceeding in accordance with the Project Schedule.

Article IV
Affirmative Covenants and Agreements.

Section 4.1 Commencement and Completion of Construction.

Borrower shall cause the Construction of the Improvements to be commenced and prosecuted in a good and workmanlike manner and shall cause the same to be completed in accordance with the Project Schedule and substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.

Section 4.2 Approval of Construction.

No work associated with the Construction of the Improvements (with the exception of site preparation work which has been properly permitted) shall be commenced by Borrower unless and until the Plans and Specifications have been approved by Lender, by all Governmental Authorities having or claiming jurisdiction over the Land and Improvements, by the beneficiary of any applicable restrictive covenant whose approval is required, and by any other party whose approval is required under applicable agreements, and unless and until all building, construction and other permits necessary or required in connection with the applicable portion of the Construction of the Improvements have been validly issued and all fees, bonds and any other security required in connection therewith have been paid or posted.

Section 4.3 Deposits to Balance Loan.

If at any time Lender shall determine that (a) the proceeds of the Loan remaining to be advanced for any line item within the Budget are not or will not be sufficient to pay, in a timely manner, the amount of such line item remaining to be paid, and (b) the deficiency cannot be remedied by a reallocation of budgeted amounts pursuant to Section 2.2, then Borrower shall deposit with Lender, within ten (10) days from the effective date of a Notice from Lender requesting such deposit, funds in an amount equal to the deficiency. Such funds shall be held by Lender in a Borrower’s Deposit Account, which shall be an interest-bearing account, with all accrued interest to become part of Borrower’s deposit. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Borrower’s Deposit Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Lender shall have the exclusive right to manage and control all funds in the Borrower’s Deposit Account, but Lender shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Advances of the deposited funds will be made from time to time for the payment of deficient line item amounts, prior to the advance of proceeds of the Loan for such amounts. Advances of the deposited funds will be subject to the terms of this Agreement regarding advances of the Loan. Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in the Borrower’s Deposit Account. Borrower

grants to Lender a security interest in the Borrower’s Deposit Account and all such deposited funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, and Lender shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. The Borrower’s Deposit Account may be established and held in such name or names as Lender shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Lender. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent of Lender its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open the Borrower’s Deposit Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section 4.3. To the extent permitted by Law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.3 notwithstanding, in the event that Borrower is required to deposit balancing funds with Lender hereunder and the Improvements are thereafter completed with subsequent savings that, had they occurred prior to the requirement of the balancing funds, would have rendered all or a portion of such deposit to be unnecessary, Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement of the funds deposited equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such subsequent savings or (b) the amount of the balancing funds deposit.

Section 4.4 Compliance with Laws; Encroachments.

The Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable (whether present or future) Laws. The Improvements shall be constructed entirely on the Land and shall not encroach upon any easement or right-of-way, or upon the land of others, except to the extent Borrower has obtained recorded easement rights for construction purposes. Construction of the Improvements shall occur wholly within all applicable building restriction lines and set-backs, however established, and shall be in strict compliance with all applicable use or other restrictions and the provisions of any prior agreements, declarations, covenants and all applicable zoning and subdivision ordinances and regulations.

Section 4.5 Inspections; Cooperation.

Borrower shall permit representatives of Lender and the Construction Consultant to enter upon the Land, to inspect the Improvements and any and all materials to be used in connection with the Construction of the Improvements, to examine all detailed plans and shop drawings and similar materials as well as all records and books of account maintained by or on behalf of Borrower relating thereto and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts pertaining to the Loan and the Improvements with representatives of Borrower. Borrower shall at all times cooperate and cause the General Contractor and each and every one of its subcontractors and material suppliers to cooperate with the representatives of Lender and the Construction Consultant in connection with or in aid of the performance of Lender’s functions under this Agreement. Except in the event of an emergency, Lender shall give Borrower at least twenty-four hours’ notice by telephone in each instance before entering upon the Land and/or exercising any other rights granted in this Section.

Section 4.6 Contracts, Vouchers and Receipts.

Borrower shall furnish to Lender, promptly on demand, copies of any contracts, major subcontracts, bills of sale, statements, receipted vouchers or other agreements relating to the Construction of the Improvements, including any such items pursuant to which Borrower has any claim of title to any materials, fixtures or other articles delivered or to be delivered to the Land or incorporated or to be incorporated into the Improvements. Borrower shall furnish to Lender, promptly on demand, a verified written statement, in such form and detail as Lender may require, setting forth the names and addresses of

all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers furnishing labor or materials in the Construction of the Improvements and showing all amounts paid for labor and materials and all items of labor and materials furnished or to be furnished for which payment has not been made and the amounts to be paid therefor.

Section 4.7 Payment and Performance of Contractual Obligations.

Borrower shall perform in a timely manner all of its obligations under the Architect’s Contract, the Construction Contract and any and all other contracts and agreements related to the Construction of the Improvements or the operation thereof, and Borrower will pay when due all bills for services or labor performed and materials supplied in connection with the Construction of the Improvements. Within sixty (60) days after the filing of any mechanic’s lien or other lien or encumbrance against the Property, Borrower will promptly discharge the same by payment or filing a bond or otherwise as permitted by Law. So long as Lender’s security has been protected by the filing of a bond or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, lien or encumbrance, provided that Borrower does so diligently and without prejudice to Lender or delay in completing Construction of the Improvements.

Section 4.8 Correction of Construction Defects.

Promptly following any demand by Lender, Borrower shall correct or cause the correction of any structural defects in the Improvements, any work that fails to comply with the requirements of Section 4.4 and any material departures or deviations from the Plans and Specifications not approved in writing by Lender.

Section 4.9 Insurance.

Borrower shall maintain the following insurance at its sole cost and expense:

(a) Insurance against Casualty to the Property under a policy or policies covering such risks as are presently included in “special form” (also known as “all risk”) coverage, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism, malicious mischief and acts of terrorism. Such insurance shall name Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender, such insurance shall be for the full insurable value of the Property, with a deductible amount, if any, satisfactory to Lender. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this Section by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full insurable value” means one hundred percent (100%) of the actual replacement cost of the Property (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items).

(b) Comprehensive (also known as commercial) general liability insurance on an “occurrence” basis against claims for “personal injury” liability and liability for death, bodily injury and damage to property, products and completed operations, in limits satisfactory to Lender with respect to any one occurrence and the aggregate of all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance shall name Lender as an additional insured.

(c) Workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of Borrower in such amount as is required by Law and including employer’s liability insurance, if required by Lender.

(d) During any period of construction upon the Property, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, builder’s risk insurance (non-reporting form) for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of work in place and materials stored at or upon the Property.

(e) If at any time any portion of any structure on the Property is insurable against Casualty by flood and is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, a flood insurance policy on the structure and Borrower owned contents in form and amount acceptable to Lender but in no amount less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable Law as such requirements may from time to time be in effect. The flood insurance policy on contents shall be required upon completion of the structure or any unit or component thereof, or as soon thereafter as a flood insurance policy on contents may be obtained.

(f) Loss of rental value insurance or business interruption insurance in an amount acceptable to Lender.

(g) Such other and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Lender in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Lender in similar transactions including, if required by Lender, wind insurance and earthquake insurance, so long as any such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums as determined by Lender from time to time.

In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall cause the General Contractor to provide and maintain comprehensive (commercial) general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of the General Contractor meeting, respectively, the requirements of Subsections (b) and (c), above.

Each policy of insurance (i) shall be issued by one or more insurance companies each of which must have an A.M. Best Company financial and performance rating of A-VII or better and are qualified or authorized by the Laws of the State to assume the risks covered by such policy, (ii) with respect to the insurance described under the preceding Subsections (a), (d), (e) and (f), shall have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clauses in favor of and entitling Lender without contribution to collect proceeds payable under such insurance, either as sole payee or as joint payee with Borrower, (iii) shall provide that such policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, and (iv) shall provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment. Borrower shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver to Lender acceptable evidence of insurance, such as a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender reflecting that all required insurance is current and in force. Borrower will immediately give Notice to Lender of any cancellation of, or material change in, any insurance policy. Lender shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (A) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (B) the solvency of any insurer, or (C) the payment of losses. Borrower may satisfy any insurance requirement hereunder by providing one or more “blanket” insurance policies, subject to Lender’s approval in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation provisions.

Section 4.10 Adjustment of Condemnation and Insurance Claims.

Borrower shall give prompt Notice to Lender of any Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened Condemnation. Lender is authorized, at its sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation or

Casualty, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith, and in such case, Lender shall have the right to receive all Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom any or all of its Expenses; provided, however, that (i) if no Default or Event of Default then exists, and (ii) the Claim is for less than $200,000 and does not materially and adversely affect Lender’s security or Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have the right to prosecute, settle or compromise such Claim. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and Borrower is diligently pursuing its rights and remedies with respect to a Claim, Lender will obtain Borrower’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before making proof of loss for or settling or compromising such Claim. Borrower agrees to diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each Claim and to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each Claim subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Lender of any Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, the Property shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage, Lender shall have the right to receive such funds (a) to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Mortgage shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) to the extent necessary to reimburse Lender for its Expenses. If any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower shall receive the same in trust for Lender. Within ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds, Borrower shall deliver such awards or proceeds to Lender in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements or documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer the same to Lender. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Lender, such further instruments or documents as may be requested by Lender to confirm the grant and assignment to Lender of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.

Section 4.11 Utilization of Net Proceeds.

(a) Net Proceeds must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for the restoration of the Property. Net Proceeds will be utilized for the restoration of the Property only if no Default shall exist and only if in the reasonable judgment of Lender (i) there has been no material adverse change in the financial viability of the construction or operation of the Improvements, (ii) the Net Proceeds, together with other funds deposited with Lender for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and specifications approved by Lender, and (iii) the restoration can be completed prior to the final maturity of the Loan. Otherwise, Net Proceeds shall be utilized for payment of the Obligations.

(b) If Net Proceeds are to be utilized for the restoration of the Property, the Net Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with Lender for that purpose, must be deposited in an interest-bearing account with Lender, which account will be assigned to Lender as additional security for the Loan. The account will be opened, managed and controlled in a manner consistent with, and subject to, the provisions of Section 4.3 governing a Borrower’s Deposit Account, including those provisions permitting Lender to require Borrower to deposit funds in the event of a deficiency in the funds available to complete restoration as herein contemplated. Disbursements of funds from the account will be made in a manner consistent with, and subject to, the requirements for the closing and funding of the Loan and the terms of this Agreement regarding the disbursement of Loan proceeds.

Section 4.12 Management.

Borrower at all times shall provide for the competent and responsible management and operation of the Property. Any management contract or contracts affecting the Property must be approved in

writing by Lender prior to the execution of the same. Lender hereby approves The Grove Student Properties, Inc. as the property manager for the Property.

Section 4.13 Books and Records; Financial Statements; Tax Returns.

Borrower will keep and maintain full and accurate books and records administered in accordance with sound accounting principles, consistently applied, showing in detail the earnings and expenses of the Property and the operation thereof. Borrower will keep and maintain its books and records, including recorded data of any kind and regardless of the medium of recording, at the address of Borrower set forth in Section 8.6. Borrower shall permit Lender, or any Person authorized by Lender, to inspect and examine such books and records (regardless of where maintained) and all supporting vouchers and data and to make copies and extracts therefrom at all reasonable times and as often as may be requested by Lender. Borrower will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender annual financial statements, including balance sheets and income statements, for Borrower, Guarantor and the Property, within ninety (90) days after each fiscal year end for the respective reporting party. In addition, Borrower will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender, with reasonable promptness but in no event more than forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three calendar quarters of each fiscal year, quarterly financial statements of Borrower, Guarantor and the Property, together with such additional information, reports or statements in connection therewith, as Lender may from time to time request. All financial statements must be in form and detail acceptable to Lender, must be certified as to accuracy by Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and in the case of annual financial statements of the Guarantor, must be audited with an unqualified opinion by an independent certified public accountant satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall provide, upon Lender’s request, convenient facilities for the audit and verification of any such statement. All certifications and signatures on behalf of corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and other entities shall be by a representative of the reporting party satisfactory to Lender. Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower providing Lender with a copy of the annual audit report and the quarterly financial statements filed by Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall satisfy Guarantor’s requirement hereunder to provide interim and annual financial statements. Promptly after filing, Borrower will provide to Lender copies of annual tax returns filed by Borrower and Guarantor.

Section 4.14 Estoppel Certificates.

Within ten (10) days after any request by Lender or a proposed assignee or purchaser of the Loan or any interest therein, Borrower shall certify in writing to Lender, or to such proposed assignee or purchaser, the then unpaid balance of the Loan and whether Borrower claims any right of defense or setoff to the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and if Borrower claims any such right of defense or setoff, Borrower shall give a detailed written description of such claimed right.

Section 4.15 Taxes.

Borrower shall pay and discharge all Taxes prior to the date on which penalties are attached thereto unless and to the extent only that such Taxes are contested in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage.

Section 4.16 Lender’s Rights to Pay and Perform.

If, after any required notice, Borrower fails to promptly pay or perform any of the Obligations within any applicable grace or cure periods, Lender, without Notice to or demand upon Borrower, and without waiving or releasing any Obligation or Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower.

Lender may enter upon the Property for that purpose and take all action thereon as Lender considers necessary or appropriate. At the option of Lender, during the existence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any undisbursed Loan proceeds to the satisfaction of the conditions of the Loan Documents, irrespective of the allocation of such Loan proceeds in the Budget. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may pay directly from the proceeds of the Loan all interest bills rendered by Lender in connection with the Loan, and during the existence of an Event of Default may make advances directly to the General Contractor, the title insurance company, any subcontractor or material supplier, or to any of them jointly. The execution hereof by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the proceeds of the Loan. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances. Each advance shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall satisfy the obligations of Lender hereunder to the extent of the amount of the advance.

Section 4.17 Reimbursement; Interest.

If Lender shall incur any Expenses or pay any Claims by reason of the Loan or the rights and remedies provided under the Loan Documents (regardless of whether or not any of the Loan Documents expressly provide for an indemnification by Borrower against such Claims), Lender’s payment of such Expenses and Claims shall constitute advances to Borrower which shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on demand, together with interest thereon from the date incurred until paid in full at the rate of interest then applicable to the Loan under the terms of the Note. Each advance arising out of the Environmental Agreement shall be unsecured. All other advances shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as fully as if made to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by the party or parties to whom such advance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Mortgage or to recover or collect the Obligations, the provisions of Law governing the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by this Section.

Section 4.18 Notification by Borrower.

Borrower will promptly give Notice to Lender of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower will also promptly give Notice to Lender of any claim of a default by Borrower, or any claim by Borrower of a default by any other party, under the Architect’s Contract or the Construction Contract.

Section 4.19 Indemnification by Borrower.

Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from and against, and to defend Lender by counsel approved by Lender against, any and all Claims directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any transaction, act, omission, event or circumstance in any way connected with the Property or the Loan, including any Claim arising out of or resulting from (a) Construction of the Improvements, including any defective workmanship or materials; (b) any failure by Borrower to comply with the requirements of any Laws or to comply with any agreement that applies or pertains to the Property, including any agreement with a broker or “finder” in connection with the Loan or other financing of the Property; (c) any failure by Borrower to observe and perform any of the obligations imposed upon the landlord under the Leases; (d) any other Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; or (e) any assertion or allegation that Lender is liable for any act or omission of Borrower or any other Person in connection with the ownership, development, financing, leasing, operation or sale of the Property; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Lender with respect to any Claim arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. The agreements and indemnifications contained in this Section shall apply to Claims arising both before and after the repayment of the Loan and shall survive the repayment of the

Loan, any foreclosure or deed, assignment or conveyance in lieu thereof and any other action by Lender to enforce the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and until such time as the applicable statute of limitations for such Claim expires.

Section 4.20 Fees and Expenses.

Borrower shall pay all fees, charges, costs and expenses required to satisfy the conditions of the Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower will pay, when due, and if paid by Lender will reimburse Lender on demand for, all fees and expenses of the Construction Consultant, the title company, environmental engineers, appraisers, surveyors and Lender’s counsel in connection with the closing, administration, modification or any “workout” of the Loan, or the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 4.21 Appraisals.

Lender may obtain from time to time an appraisal of all or any part of the Property, prepared in accordance with written instructions from Lender, from a third-party appraiser satisfactory to, and engaged directly by, Lender. The cost of any such appraisal shall be borne by Lender, except that the cost of each such appraisal obtained by Lender during the existence of an Event of Default shall by borne by Borrower and shall be paid by Borrower on demand.

Section 4.22 Leasing and Tenant Matters.

Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions of Schedule 6 in connection with the leasing of space within the Improvements.

Borrower shall not make or permit any changes in the Plans and Specifications, including any such changes that alter, diminish or add to the work to be performed or change the design of the Improvements, without the prior written consent of Lender and under such reasonable conditions as Lender may establish, including, without limitation, the furnishing of AIA Form G701 if requested by Lender. Lender’s prior written consent shall not be required, however, as to any change order which (a) individually does not cause the fixed or guaranteed maximum price of the Construction Contract to be increased or decreased by more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and, when added to all previous change orders, does not cause such price to be increased or decreased by more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) in the aggregate, (b) does not result in a material change to the design of the Improvements, and (c) has been approved in writing by the General Contractor and any Governmental Authority, tenant or other party whose approval is required.

Section 5.3 Insurance Policies and Bonds.

Borrower shall not do or permit to be done anything that would materially and adversely affect the coverage or indemnities provided for pursuant to the provisions of any insurance policy, performance bond, labor and material payment bond or any other bond given in connection with the Construction of the Improvements.

Article VI

that in no event shall such cure period with respect to a failure to provide acceptable evidence of required insurance in force extend beyond the expiration date of the applicable policy.

Remedies on Default.

Upon the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Lender under the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or under applicable Law, to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

(a) Lender may terminate its obligation to advance any further principal of the Loan pursuant to this Agreement by Notice to Borrower.

(b) Lender may accelerate all of Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents whereupon such Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without notice of default, acceleration or intention to accelerate, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or notices or demands of any kind or character (all of which are hereby waived by Borrower).

(d) Lender may set off the amounts due Lender under the Loan Documents against any and all accounts, credits, money, securities or other property of Borrower now or hereafter on deposit with, held by or in the possession of Lender to the credit or for the account of Borrower, without notice to or the consent of Borrower.

(e) Lender may enter into possession of the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Construction of the Improvements (whether or not in accordance with the Plans and Specifications) and to employ watchmen to protect the Property and the Improvements. All sums expended by Lender for such purposes shall be deemed to have been advanced to Borrower under the Note and shall be secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which power is coupled with an interest, to complete the work in the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers said attorney or attorneys, in the name of Borrower or Lender:

			(i) To use any funds of Borrower including any balance which may be held by Lender and any funds which may remain unadvanced hereunder for the purpose of completing the Construction of the Improvements, whether or not in the manner called for in the Plans and Specifications;

			(ii) To make such additions and changes and corrections to the Plans and Specifications as shall be necessary or desirable in the judgment of Lender to complete the Construction of the Improvements;

			(iii) To employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be necessary or desirable for said purpose;

			(iv) To pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Property, or may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the work or the clearance of title to the Property;

			(v) To execute all applications and certificates which may be required in the name of Borrower;

			(vi) To enter into, enforce, modify or cancel Leases and to fix or modify Rents on such terms as Lender may consider proper;

			(vii) To file for record, at Borrower’s cost and expense and in Borrower’s name, any notices of completion, notices of cessation of labor, or any other notices that Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may consider necessary or desirable to protect its security; and

			(viii) To do any and every act with respect to the Construction of the Improvements which Borrower may do in its own behalf.

It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked. Said attorney-in-fact shall also have the power to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Construction of the Improvements and to take such actions and to require such performance as Lender may deem necessary.

Section 7.2 No Release or Waiver; Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent.

Borrower shall not be relieved of any Obligation by reason of the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or of any other Person to take action to foreclose on the Property under the Mortgage or otherwise to enforce any provision of the Loan Documents, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the Property. No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the happening of an Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. No delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any option for acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations, or for foreclosure of the Mortgage following any Event of Default as aforesaid, or any other option granted to Lender hereunder in any one or more instances, or the acceptance by Lender of any partial payment on account of the Obligations shall constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default and each such option shall remain continuously in full force and effect. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided for in the Loan Documents, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by statute. Every right, power and remedy given by the Loan Documents to Lender shall be concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Borrower or the Property or any part thereof, and every right, power and remedy given by the Loan Documents may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender.

Article VIII
Miscellaneous.

Section 8.1 Further Assurances; Authorization to File Documents.

At any time, and from time to time, upon request by Lender, Borrower will, at Borrower’s expense, (a) correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the form or content of any of the Loan Documents, and (b) make, execute, deliver and record, or cause to be made, executed, delivered and recorded, any and all further instruments, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to complete, perfect or continue and preserve the lien of the Mortgage. Upon any failure by Borrower to do so, Lender may make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates and other documents for and in the name of Borrower, all at the sole expense of Borrower, and Borrower hereby appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to do so, this appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements deemed necessary or desirable by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests granted in the Mortgage, and Borrower ratifies any such filings made by Lender prior to the date hereof. In addition, at any time, and from time to time, upon request by Lender, Borrower will, at Borrower’s expense, provide any and all further instruments, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to verify Borrower’s identity and background in a manner satisfactory to Lender.

Section 8.2 No Warranty by Lender.

By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Borrower or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, including any certificate, Survey, receipt, appraisal or insurance policy, 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 any such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Lender.

Section 8.3 Standard of Conduct of Lender.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall limit the right of Lender to exercise its business judgment or to act, in the context of the granting or withholding of any advance or consent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in a subjective manner, whether or not objectively reasonable under the circumstances, so long as Lender’s exercise of its business judgment or action is made or undertaken in good faith. Borrower and Lender intend by the foregoing to set forth and affirm their entire understanding with respect to the standard pursuant to which Lender’s duties and obligations are to be judged and the parameters within which Lender’s discretion may be exercised hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. As used herein, “good faith” means honesty in fact in the conduct and transaction concerned.

Section 8.4 No Partnership.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed in a manner to create any relationship between Borrower and Lender other than the relationship of borrower and lender and Borrower and Lender shall not be considered partners or co-venturers for any purpose on account of this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Severability.

In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any other respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then and in either of those events, at the option of Lender, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the validity of the remaining Obligations, and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

Section 8.6 Notices.

All Notices required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the applicable address set forth below (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed). Any Notice shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein; provided that service of a Notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.

(c) Lender may sell or offer to sell the Loan or interests therein to one or more assignees or participants. Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith, and to the extent, if any, specified in any such assignment or participation, such assignee(s) or participant(s) shall have the same rights and benefits with respect to the Loan Documents as such Person(s) would have if such Person(s) were Lender hereunder. Lender may disseminate any information it now has or hereafter obtains pertaining to the Loan, including any security for the Loan, any credit or other information on the Property (including environmental reports and assessments), Borrower, any of Borrower’s principals or any Guarantor, to any actual or prospective assignee or participant, to Lender’s Affiliates, to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over Lender, to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and the Loan, or to any other party as necessary or appropriate in Lender’s reasonable judgment.

Borrower covenants that Borrower (a) will observe and perform all of the obligations imposed upon the landlord in the Leases and will not do or permit to be done anything to impair the security thereof; (b) will use its good faith efforts to enforce or secure, or cause to be enforced or secured, the performance of each and every obligation and undertaking of the respective tenants under the Leases and will appear in and defend, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any action or proceeding arising under, or in any manner connected with, the Leases consistent with the ordinary course of the student housing apartment leasing business; (c) will not collect any of the Rents in advance of the time when the same become due under the terms of the Leases, except (i) expressly provided early rent payments contemplated in the Leases, (ii) isolated prepayments from student financial aid, and (iii) isolated prepayments by parents who may want to pre-pay a semester’s rent up front; (d) will not discount any future accruing Rents; (e) without the prior written consent of Lender, will not execute any assignment of the Leases or the Rents; (f) other than in the ordinary course of the student housing apartment leasing business, will not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases, or surrender, cancel or terminate the same without the prior written consent of Lender; and (g) will execute and deliver, at the request of Lender, all such assignments of the Leases and Rents in favor of Lender as Lender may from time to time require.

3. Leasing Guidelines.

Borrower shall not enter into any Lease of space in the Improvements unless approved or deemed approved by Lender prior to execution. Lender shall be “deemed” to have approved any Lease that: (a) is on the standard form lease approved by Lender with no material deviations except as approved by Lender; (b) is entered into in the ordinary course of business with a bona fide unrelated third party tenant (except that an immaterial number of Leases may have employees of Borrower as tenants), with a full guarantee by a parent of the tenant (except for an immaterial number of Leases where a parental guarantee is not required or obtained), and Borrower, acting in good faith and exercising due diligence has determined that the tenant is financially capable of performing its obligations under the Lease; (c) reflects a transaction on arm’s length terms at then-current market rate for comparable space (except for an immaterial number of Leases to employees of Borrower); and (d) contains no option or right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Property or any present or future interest therein. Borrower shall provide to Lender a correct and complete copy of each Lease, including any exhibits, and any guaranty(ies) thereof, prior to execution unless the Lease meets the foregoing requirements for “deemed” approval by Lender. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in reviewing and approving Leases and any guaranties thereof.

From time to time upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall (a) make available to Lender for its review at the Property complete executed originals of each Lease, including any exhibits thereto and any guaranty(ies) thereof, (b) promptly deliver within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter to Lender a complete rent roll of the Property in such detail as Lender may require,

together with such operating statements and leasing schedules and reports as Lender may require as of the end of such calendar quarter, and (c) promptly deliver to Lender such other information regarding tenants and prospective tenants and other leasing information as Lender may request.
