A reallocation among line items (including the reallocation of savings from one line to another) may be made upon prior written notice to Bank, provided the Construction Loan remains In Balance.

Each submission by Borrower to Bank of a requisition for an Advance of the Construction Loan shall constitute Borrowers representation and warranty to Bank that (i) all completed construction is substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, (ii) all construction and nonconstruction costs for the payment of which Bank has previously advanced funds have in fact been paid, and (iii) there is not existing any Default.
2.8 Additional Information. If Bank or the Title Insurance Company shall so require, Borrower will submit with the requisitions for Advances lien waivers in form satisfactory to Bank and the Title Insurance Company, showing amounts paid and amounts due to all Persons furnishing labor or materials in connection with the completion of the Improvements. If the Title Insurance Policy is not written so as to insure any and all disbursements of the Construction Loan up to the face amount of the Mortgage (including coverage for losses sustained by reason of the lack of priority of the insured Mortgage over any statutory Lien for services, labor or materials furnished subsequent to the date of this Agreement), Borrower shall have the Title Insurance Company deliver to Bank an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring each Advance being requisitioned and insuring Bank for said Advance under the Title Insurance Policy.

(A) In the event that any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) affect the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of any amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement (other than Excluded Taxes), or (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Bank, or (iii) impose any other condition with respect to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Loan, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank of making, funding or maintaining any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by Bank thereon, then, so long as such action uniformly applies to other similarly situated borrowers of Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days following written request by Bank (to be accompanied by a statement setting forth with reasonable particularity the basis for the increased cost and reasoning therefore) additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduced sum receivable to the extent Bank is not compensated therefor in the computation of the interest rate applicable to such Loan. A statement as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced sum receivable, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and submitted by Bank to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.
25
(B) In the event that any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk-based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank (or any corporation controlling Bank) and Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of Banks obligations hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Banks (or such controlling corporations) capital as a consequence of such obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, so long as such action uniformly applies to other similarly situated borrowers of Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days following written request by Bank (to be accompanied by a statement setting forth with reasonable particularity the basis for the increased cost and reasoning therefore), additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which Bank determines to be allocable to the existence of such Banks obligations hereunder. A statement as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.
3.8 Illegality and Impossibility. In the event that any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Bank, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall make it unlawful or impossible for Bank to maintain any Loan under this Agreement, Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof from Bank repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Loan, together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of payment and all amounts owing to Bank, (a) on the last day of the then current One Month LIBOR Rate Interest Period, if Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such day, or (b) immediately if Bank may not continue to maintain such Loan to such day.
3.9 360 Day Year. All interest payable under the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual number of days elapsed, and dividing the product so obtained by 360.
3.10 Indemnification. If Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Loan on any other date than the last day of a One Month LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto, or if Borrower fails to borrow any Advance after notice has been given to Bank in accordance with this Agreement, or if Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of any Loan when due, Borrower shall reimburse Bank on demand for all Indemnified Losses incurred by Bank, including, without limitation, any actual loss incurred (excluding lost profits) in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from a Third Person, whether or not Bank shall have funded or committed to fund the Advance. A statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank and
26
submitted by Bank to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section shall be made as though Bank shall have actually funded or committed to fund the Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of the Advance in the relevant market and having a maturity comparable to the related One Month LIBOR Rate Interest Period and through the transfer of such deposit to a domestic office of Bank in the United States; provided, however, that Bank may fund the Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purpose of calculation of amounts payable under this Section.
3.11 No Requirement to Actually Obtain Funds. Notwithstanding the fact that the interest rate pursuant to the Loans may be calculated based upon Banks cost of funds, Borrower agrees that Bank shall not be required actually to obtain funds from such source at any time.
3.12 Usury Limitation. If, at any time, the interest rate payable on any Loan shall be deemed by any competent court of law or any Governmental Authority to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Laws, then, for such time as the interest rate would be deemed excessive, its application shall be suspended and there shall be charged instead the maximum rate of interest permissible under such Laws, and any excess interest actually collected by Bank shall be credited as a partial prepayment of principal.
3.13 Tax Forms. Any successor or assign of Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax (including, without limitation, any withholding tax imposed under any of Sections 1441 1446 of the Code, Sections 1471 1474 of the Code, and/or Sections 3401 3406 of the Code) under the law of the United States, or an applicable treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under the Loan Documents shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at any times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(2) There exists no Event of Default (or, if such is not the case, that one or more specified Event of Default have occurred);
(3) There exists no Development Manager Default (or, if such is not the case, that one or more specified Development Manager Defaults have occurred); and

(L) Borrower will, when requested so to do, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, make available for inspection and audit by duly authorized representatives of Bank any of its Records, and will furnish Bank any information regarding its business affairs and financial condition within a reasonable time after written request therefor
38
(provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Bank shall not inspect and audit Records more than once each Quarter).

(M) Borrower will keep accurate and complete Records, consistent with sound business practices.

Any taxes in respect of which amounts are deposited in the escrow account described in Section 7.6 of this Agreement shall be treated as paid for purposes of the foregoing.
(S) Borrower will cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in good and safe condition and repair, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.4 below, shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any condemnation or similar proceeding.

(E) Borrower will not incur, create, assume, or permit to exist any Indebtedness except:
(1) The Loans;
(2) Indebtedness otherwise expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if any; and
(3) Indebtedness incurred in Borrowers Ordinary Course of Business, provided that such Indebtedness is either Unsecured Indebtedness or Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien.
(F) Borrower will not permit any material change to the form of tenant lease to be used in connection with the leasing of the Project unless there is first obtained the prior written approval of Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(G) Borrower will not knowingly furnish Bank any certificate or other document that will contain any untrue statement of material fact or that will omit to state a material fact necessary to make it not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was furnished.

41
(B) Borrower will deposit with Bank within five (5) Business Days of Banks demand therefor the amount of money necessary to cause the Construction Loan to be In Balance, and Bank shall be under no obligation to make any further Advances until any amount so demanded is so deposited. Any amount so deposited may be deposited in an account of Banks selection, and Borrower hereby pledges, grants, and conveys to Bank a Lien upon and in such account and/or deposit as additional collateral for the Obligations. Bank may advance all or a portion of any such amount on deposit prior to making any further Advance, and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may apply all or any portion of any such amount against any amounts owing to Bank under any one or more of the Loan Documents.
(C) Borrower will pay promptly all Persons supplying work or materials for the construction of the Project and will immediately discharge, or make other arrangements reasonably acceptable to Bank with respect to, any mechanics or other Lien filed against the Project (provided that so long as Banks security has been protected by the filing of a bond in an amount as necessary to bond over such Lien, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any Lien).
(D) Unless there is first obtained the prior written consent of Bank, Borrower will not authorize or permit any change to the Plans and Specifications which would (i) result in an increase of the guaranteed maximum cost set forth in any Major Construction Contract by more than $250,000.00, (ii) materially diminish the quality, location or completed value of the Project, or (iii) so alter the Plans and Specifications as to invalidate any Governmental Approval.
(E) Upon Banks reasonable request, Borrower will notify Bank promptly of the names and addresses of all known contractors, subcontractors and materialmen who are employed in connection with the construction of the Project.

(G) Subject to compliance with all applicable zoning and other governmental requirements, at Banks request and at Banks expense, Borrower will erect and maintain on the Land, until Substantial Completion of the Project, one sign approved by Bank and Borrower indicating that construction financing is being provided by Bank.
(H) Borrower shall maintain with Bank its construction disbursement account with respect to the Project.
7.4 Insurance and Condemnation Covenants.
(A) Borrower will obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, at all times while Borrower is indebted to Bank, at Borrowers sole expense: (a) the Title Insurance Policy; (b) all-risk insurance with respect to all insurable property comprising the
42
Project, against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such hazards as are presently included in so-called all-risk coverage and against such other insurable hazards as Bank may require, in an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, including the cost of debris removal, without deduction for depreciation and sufficient to prevent Bank and Borrower from becoming a coinsurer, such insurance to be in builders risk (non-reporting) form during and with respect to any construction on the Land; (c) if and to the extent any portion of the Improvements is in a special flood hazard area, a flood insurance policy in an amount equal to the lesser of the principal amount of the Loans or the maximum amount available; (d) comprehensive general public liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, for the benefit of Borrower and Bank as named insureds; (e) statutory workers compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the Project; (f) rental continuation insurance or business interruption insurance equal to 100% of anticipated gross revenues from the Project for a twelve-month period; and (g) such other insurance on the Project as may from time to time be required by Bank (including but not limited to boiler and machinery insurance, earthquake insurance, and war risk insurance) and against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard being given to the height, type, construction, location, use and occupancy of buildings and improvements. All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, and in form reasonably satisfactory to Bank, and shall require not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Bank of any cancellation or change of coverage. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Borrower with respect to the Project, except for public liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by Borrower or Bank and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any Bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in Banks reasonable opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, Borrower shall, in each instance promptly upon the request of Bank and at Borrowers expense, obtain and deliver to Bank a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Bank, a certificate of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, as the case may be. Without limiting the discretion of Bank with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Project shall contain a standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming Bank as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Bank. Satisfactory certificates of insurance, and if requested by Bank, copies of each initial insurance policy, shall be delivered to Bank at the time of execution of this Agreement, with premiums fully paid, and, each renewal or substitute certificate of insurance (or policy, if requested by Bank) shall be delivered to Bank, with premiums fully paid, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the certificate (or policy) that it renews or replaces. Borrower shall pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Bank evidence reasonably satisfactory to Bank of the timely payment thereof. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Bank the insurance required by this Section, Bank may procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Banks interest, and Borrower will pay all premiums thereon promptly upon demand by Bank. Until such payment is made by Borrower, the amount of all such premiums
43
shall be added to and become part of the Obligations. If any loss occurs at any time when Borrower has failed to perform Borrowers covenants and agreements in this Section, Bank shall nevertheless be entitled to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for Borrower, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Bank. Upon any foreclosure of the Mortgage or transfer of title to the Project in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Loans or any other amounts owing by Borrower to Bank, all of Borrowers right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies, and Bank is hereby irrevocably appointed by Borrower as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to assign any such policy to said purchaser or other such transferee without accounting to Borrower for any unearned premiums thereon. In the event the amount of insurance proceeds for any single event is Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or less, and so long as there exists no (i) Payment Default/Note, nor (ii) other Default with respect to which a Default Notice/Borrower has been given, Borrower shall have the right to settle such insurance claims without Banks involvement or consent, and the entire amount of such insurance proceeds in each case, actually received by Bank, shall be disbursed by Bank to Borrower, and shall be used by Borrower to restore or rebuild the affected portion of the Improvements. In the event the amount of insurance proceeds for any single event is greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), Bank shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Project, and the expenses incurred by Bank in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be added to and become part of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to Bank on demand. Bank shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Borrower. Any such proceeds received by Bank shall be applied and disbursed as provided in this Agreement. If Borrower fails to cause issuance of or an endorsement to any policy within five (5) Business Days after Banks written request therefor, then Borrower appoints Bank as Borrowers attorney-in-fact to cause the issuance of or an endorsement of any policy and to otherwise bring Borrower into compliance with the provisions of this Section and to make any claim for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage under any such insurance policy (provided that prior to the exercise of any such power, Bank shall notify Borrower in writing of the same).
(B) Bank is hereby authorized and empowered, at its option, to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 7.4, and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such policy or policies (provided that Bank shall promptly remit to Borrower any proceeds of insurance in excess of the amount of the Obligations then owing). Each insurance company is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all such losses directly to Bank as its interest may appear, instead of to Borrower and Bank jointly. In the event any insurance company fails to disburse directly and solely to Bank but disburses instead either solely to Borrower or to Borrower and Bank jointly, Borrower agrees immediately to endorse and transfer such proceeds to Bank to the extent of Banks interest therein. Upon the failure of Borrower to endorse and transfer such proceeds as aforesaid, Bank may execute such endorsements or transfers for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as Borrowers agent and attorney in fact so to do. Bank shall apply the same at its
44
option (i) to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not due and in whatever order Bank elects, (in which case a portion of or the entire Obligations shall, at Banks option, immediately become due and payable), (ii) to the repair and/or restoration of the Improvements, or (iii) for any other purposes or objects for which Bank is entitled to advance funds under any Loan Document, all without affecting Banks Lien, and any balance of such monies then remaining shall be paid to Borrower or the Person lawfully entitled thereto. Bank shall not be held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure.
(C) Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary, if requested by Borrower, Bank agrees that the proceeds of any casualty insurance or any part thereof (after deducting therefrom all of its actual expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including Attorneys Fees) payable on account of loss or damage to the Improvements will be made available by Bank (consistent with disbursement procedures and subject to such terms and conditions as provided herein with respect to Advances to be made hereunder) to be applied by Borrower to restoration or repair of the Improvements provided that (i) there exists no (x) Payment Default/Note, nor (y) other Default with respect to which a Default Notice/Borrower has been given, and (ii) if the amount of such proceeds are in excess of $500,000.00, the following conditions are met (unless waived by Bank):
(1) there exists no (i) Payment Default/Note, nor (ii) any other Default with respect to which a Default Notice/Borrower has been given;
(2) Borrower presents sufficient evidence satisfactory to Bank that (A) the Improvements are capable of being, and will be, restored in compliance with all applicable Laws to an architectural whole and to substantially the same condition and value as prior to the casualty, (B) restoration of the Improvements to an architectural whole will be completed on or before the next-occurring Maturity Date, (C) there are sufficient funds from such insurance proceeds and other available monies, to completely restore or repair the Improvements to an architectural whole, as well as to maintain relevant debt service coverages and other operating expenses and otherwise satisfy any financial requirements of Bank, including changes as may be required with respect to interest rates, repayment terms and financial covenants, and (D) Bank will not incur any liability to any other Person as a result of such use or release of insurance proceeds;
(3) the plans and specifications for restoration or repair are approved in writing by Bank, in its reasonable discretion;
(4) parties having existing or expected possessory interests in the Improvements (other than any parties whose rights or interests are evidenced by agreements which have a term of less than one year remaining) agree to continue, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Bank, to fulfill the contract terms then in effect following the restoration or repair (including, without limitation, the payment of rent or other sums without abatement or reduction except as approved by Bank, in its reasonable discretion), or Borrower shall deliver security reasonably satisfactory to Bank, in its discretion, to substitute for the loss of income caused by the failure of any such possessory interest to agree to continue to fulfill the contract terms then in effect following restoration or repair;
45
(5) all parties having operating, management or franchise interests in, and arrangements concerning, the Improvements, if any, are contractually obligated to continue their interests and arrangements for the contract terms then in effect following the restoration or repair; and
(6) Borrower shall enter into such agreements and deliver such other documents and other things as may be reasonably required by Bank in connection with the disbursement of all such proceeds.
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds shall be held by Bank and, after deducting from said insurance proceeds all of its actual expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including Attorneys Fees, Bank shall disburse the net insurance proceeds to or on behalf of Borrower (pursuant to a procedure reasonably satisfactory to Bank) as repair or restoration progresses and to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expenses of such restoration or repair; and to the extent any such proceeds are not required to defray the expenses of such restoration or repair, Bank may, at its option, apply any such unused proceeds as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (B) of this Section. At all times during such restoration or repair, Borrower shall deposit with Bank funds which, when added to insurance proceeds on deposit with Bank, are sufficient to complete the restoration or repair of the Improvements to an architectural whole, as reasonably determined by Bank, in Banks reasonable discretion, in substantial accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all applicable Laws, including, but not limited to, Construction Laws.
If the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (6) of this Section are not satisfied within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of loss, then upon seven (7) days prior written notice to Borrower, the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (B) of this Section.
(D) If all or any portion of the Project shall be taken through condemnation (which term shall include any damage or taking by any Governmental Authority and any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, other than an insubstantial taking which does not materially adversely affect access or the use of the Project for its intended purposes, then a portion of or the entire Obligations shall, at the option of Bank, immediately become due and payable. Borrower, promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the institution, or the proposed, contemplated or threatened institution of any action or proceeding for the taking through condemnation of the Project or any part thereof will notify Bank, and Bank is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, through counsel selected by Bank, in its own or in Borrowers name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation. Borrower may compromise or settle any claim for compensation, but shall not make any compromise or settlement for an award unless all of the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full, without the prior written consent of Bank. All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and the right thereto are hereby assigned by Borrower to Bank, and Bank is authorized, at its option, to collect and receive all such compensation, awards or
46
damages and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor without any obligation to question the amount of any such compensation, awards or damages. After deducting from said condemnation proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including Attorneys Fees, the net proceeds shall be dealt with by Bank in accordance with, and subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in Paragraph (B) or Paragraph (C), as applicable, of Section 7.4 hereof as if the condemnation proceeds were insurance proceeds and as if the date the condemnation proceeds become payable to Borrower was the date of loss.
7.5 Assigned Document Covenants.
(A) Except as may otherwise be expressly provided for in this Agreement, including the immediately following paragraph, Borrower shall (a) observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon Borrower under each Assigned Document; (b) not do, or permit to be done, anything to impair the security of any Assigned Document; (c) promptly send to Bank copies of each written notice of default which Borrower shall send or receive under the Assigned Documents; (d) enforce the performance and observance of the material provisions of each Assigned Document; (e) not collect any of the Rents except as set forth in this Agreement; (f) not subordinate any Assigned Document to any Lien, or permit, consent, or agree to any such subordination without the prior written consent of Bank; (g) not materially alter, modify or change the terms of any Assigned Document, nor give any consent to exercise any option required or permitted by such terms, without the prior written consent of Bank in each such case; (h) not cancel or terminate any Assigned Document other than an Assigned Lease, or accept a surrender of any Assigned Document other than an Assigned Lease; (i) not convey or transfer, and shall not suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of, the Mortgaged Property, or of any interest in the Mortgaged Property, so as to affect directly or indirectly, approximately or remotely, a merger of the estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of any other party to and under any Assigned Lease; (j) at Banks request, execute any documentation confirming the assignment and transfer to Bank of each Assigned Document; and (k) execute and deliver, at the request of Bank, all other further assurances, confirmations and assignments in the Assigned Documents as Bank shall, from time to time, reasonably require in order to evidence or secure the rights of Bank hereunder.
(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, so long as there shall not exist any Event of Default, then Borrower shall have a revocable license to continue to exercise all its rights and perform its obligations under the Assigned Documents, including the right to collect each payment of Rents at the time provided in the applicable Assigned Lease for such payment, it being understood and agreed that this paragraph is intended to be a revocable license granted to Borrower to collect and receive the Rents and to retain, use and enjoy the same and otherwise exercise all rights as landlord under any Assigned Lease, in each case subject to the terms hereof and of the Mortgage, and upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (i) the license granted herein to Borrower shall immediately and automatically cease and terminate and shall be void and of no further force or effect, and (ii) Bank shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents (whether or not Bank enters upon or takes control of the all or any portion of the Collateral).
47
7.6 Escrow Deposits. From and during the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of Bank and further to secure the payment of taxes, assessments, other charges, and insurance premiums applicable or attributable to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall upon request of Bank deposit with Bank, on the first day of each month, such amounts as, in the reasonable estimation of Bank, shall be necessary to pay such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums as they become due; said deposits to be held and to be used by Bank to pay such taxes, assessments, charges and premiums as the same accrue and are payable. Payment from said sums for said purposes shall be made by Bank at its reasonable discretion and may be made even though such payments will benefit subsequent owners of the Mortgaged Property. Said deposits shall not be, nor be deemed to be, trust funds, but shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, maintained in a segregated, interest-bearing account. If said deposits are insufficient to pay the taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and other charges in full as the same become payable, Borrower will deposit with Bank such additional sum or sums as may be required in order for Bank to pay such taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and other charges in full. Upon any Event of Default, Bank may, at its option, apply any money in the fund relating from said deposits to the payment of the Obligations in such manner as it may elect.
7.7 General Covenants and Agreements Pertaining to the Collateral. Borrower covenants and agrees that promptly after Borrowers learning thereof, Borrower shall inform Bank in writing of any material delay or default in Borrowers performance of any of its obligations under any Assigned Document, if such delay or default may give rise a Material Adverse Change.
7.8 Visitation. Borrower agrees to permit representatives of Bank from time to time to visit and inspect the Collateral during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Borrower, subject to the rights of tenants under leases, all Records related thereto, the premises upon which any of the Collateral is located, and any of the other offices and properties of Borrower; to examine the assets, books of account, and Records of Borrower; to discuss the affairs and finances of Borrower with and be advised as to the same by the officers thereof; and to verify the amount, quantity, value and condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral, all at such times and intervals as Bank may desire.

ARTICLE IX
9. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
9.1 Termination of Banks Lien. This Agreement and Banks Lien will not be terminated until one of Banks officers signs a written termination or satisfaction agreement to such effect (provided that Bank agrees to promptly provide a written termination or satisfaction agreement upon request of Borrower, provided that the Obligations which may be satisfied by the payment of money have so been paid in full, Bank has no obligation to make any further Advances or otherwise extend any credit to Borrower under the Loan Documents, and there is not existing any Default). Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, no termination of this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, obligations, duties and Obligations of Borrower Party or the powers, rights, and remedies of Bank under this Agreement with respect to any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, all of which shall survive such termination
9.2 Construction. The provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to those of any other Loan Document and any guaranty, pledge or security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security deed, note or other evidence of liability given by Borrower to or for the benefit of Bank, all of which shall be construed as complementary to each other, and all existing liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Bank and any mortgages, security interests, and/or liens heretofore granted to or for the benefit of Bank shall, except and only to the extent expressly provided herein to the contrary, remain in full force and effect, and shall not be released, impaired, diminished, or in any other way modified or amended as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by the agreements and undertaking of Borrower contained herein and therein. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Bank from
54
enforcing any or all other notes, guaranties, pledges or security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, or security deeds in accordance with their respective terms. In the event of a conflict between any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions most favorable to Bank shall control.
9.3 Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify Bank and its officers, directors, agents, and attorneys against, and to hold Bank and all such other Persons harmless from all Default Costs, which indemnification is in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law right or remedy Bank may have for breach of representation, warranty, statement or covenant or otherwise may have under any of the Loan Documents. This agreement of indemnity shall be a continuing agreement and shall survive payment of the Loans and termination of this Agreement.
9.4 Banks Consent or Approval. Except where otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where any matter or thing is required to be satisfactory to Bank or to Banks satisfaction, or in Banks discretion where the approval, consent, or the exercise of Banks judgment or discretion is otherwise required or permitted, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment or discretion shall be (a) within the sole and absolute discretion of Bank; and (b) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for the purpose given and executed by Bank.
9.5 Enforcement and Waiver by Bank. Bank shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents in strict accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of Bank in refraining from so doing at any time or times. The failure of Bank at any time or times to enforce its rights under such provisions, strictly in accordance with the same, shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to specific provisions of this Agreement or as having in any way or manner modified or waived the same. All rights and remedies of Bank are cumulative and concurrent and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy.
9.6 No Representation, Assumption, or Duty. Nothing, including any Advance or acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any Person by Bank. Any inspection or audit of the Collateral or the Records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Bank shall be for Banks protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility by Bank with respect thereto or relieve Borrower of any of Borrowers obligations. Bank has no duty to supervise or to inspect the Project nor any duty of care to Borrower or any other Person to protect against, or inform Borrower or any other Person of, the existence of negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of any improvements to the Project. Borrower has selected all surveyors, architects, engineers, contractors, materialmen and all other Persons furnishing services or materials to the Project. Notwithstanding any approvals or consents by Bank, Bank has no obligation or responsibility whatsoever for the adequacy, form or content of the Plans and Specifications, any contract, any change order, any lease, or any other matter incident to the Project or the construction of the Project.
