If Bank shall send Borrower statements of amounts due hereunder, such statements shall be considered correct and conclusively binding on Borrower unless Borrower notifies Bank to the contrary within thirty (30) days of its receipt of any statement which it deems to be incorrect.
(B) All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder will be made to Bank not later than 2:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment on the date payment is due. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment shall be deemed to be payments made prior to 2:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
(C) Bank shall charge against any deposit account of Borrower all or any part of any amount owed by Borrower hereunder, and Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to charge Borrower's accounts with Bank in order to cause timely payment of amounts due hereunder to be made (subject to sufficient funds being available in such account for that purpose).
(D) At the time of making each such payment, Borrower shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, specify to Bank the Loan or other
25
obligation of Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. In the event that Borrower fails to so specify the relevant Loan or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Bank may apply such payments as it may determine in its discretion.
3.5 Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the principal of the Loans in whole or, from time to time, in part, without premium or penalty. In the case of any partial prepayment, Bank shall have the right to require and shall permit the remaining principal balance to be re-amortized over the remaining term of the applicable Loan. All partial prepayments, whether voluntary or mandatory, shall (except as may be directed by Borrower to the contrary) be applied against the next principal payment of the applicable Loan next coming due and in the inverse order of maturity, and no prepayment shall entitle Borrower to cease making any payment as otherwise scheduled hereunder.
3.6 No Setoff or Deduction. All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be made by Borrower without setoff or counterclaim, and, subject to the next succeeding sentence, free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments, or other charges of whatever nature, imposed by any Governmental Authority. If any such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges are imposed on any such payments, Borrower will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder, after withholding or deduction for or on account thereof, will not be less than any amount provided to be paid hereunder and, in any such case, Borrower will furnish to Bank certified copies of all tax receipts evidencing the payment of such amounts within thirty (30) days after the date any such payment is due pursuant to applicable Laws.
3.7 Payment on Non-Business Day; Payment Computations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, whenever any installment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or other amount due hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any installment of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate per annum determined in accordance with this Agreement during such extension.
3.8 Additional Costs.
(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 taxes imposed on the income of Bank), or (ii) shall 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) shall
26
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 such Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by Bank thereon, then Borrower shall pay to Bank from time to time, within sixty (60) days after written request by Bank, 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.
(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 Bank's obligations hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank's (or such controlling corporation's) 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 Borrower shall pay to Bank from time to time, within sixty (60) days after written request by Bank, 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 reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of such Bank's 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.
3.9 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), including without limitation exchange controls, shall make it unlawful or impossible for Bank to maintain any Loan under this Agreement, Borrower shall upon 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 a date no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such notice, if Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan for such period, or (b) immediately if Bank may not continue to maintain such Loan to such day.
3.10 360-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.
27
3.11 Indemnification. If Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Loan on any other date than the last day of an 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 any resulting loss or expense actually incurred by Bank, including without limitation any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from a Third Party, whether or not Bank shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance. A statement as to the amount of such actual loss or expense (such as LIBOR breakage costs), prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Bank will be submitted by Bank to Borrower, and 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 applicable Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance in the relevant market and having a maturity comparable to the related Interest Period and through the transfer of such deposit to a domestic office of such 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.
3.12 No Requirement to Actually Obtain Funds. Notwithstanding the fact that the Interest Rate pursuant to the Loans may be calculated based upon Bank's cost of funds, Borrower agrees that Bank shall not be required actually to obtain funds from such source at any time.
3.13 Usury Limitation. If, at any time, the Interest Rate payable on the Loans 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.

(N) Borrower will keep accurate and complete Records, consistent with sound business practices.
(O) Within ten (10) Business Days of Bank's request therefor, Borrower will furnish or cause to be furnished to Bank copies of income tax returns filed by any Borrower Party.

(B) No Borrower will sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any agreement to sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, except for Permitted Leases and Other Transfers of Collateral.

(H) No Borrower will 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.
(I) No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, apply any part of the proceeds of the Loans to the purchasing or carrying of any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation T, Regulation U, or Regulation X, or any regulations, interpretations or rulings thereunder.

7.3 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 Borrower's sole expense: (a) the Title Insurance Policy; (b) insurance as more particularly described on the attached Schedule 7.3; and (c) such other insurance on the Projects as may from time to time be required by Bank (including, but not limited to, boiler and machinery insurance, earthquake insurance, and terrorism insurance) against 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. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
45
Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any Bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if the financial strength rating falls below "A- VII", Borrower shall, in each instance promptly upon the request of Bank and at Borrower's 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. A satisfactory certificate of insurance of each initial insurance policy shall be delivered to Bank at the time of execution of this Agreement, with premiums fully paid. Upon renewal or substitution of such insurance policies, certificates evidencing such renewal or substitution shall be delivered to Bank as promptly as possible, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the expiration date of the policy it renews or replaces (and in any case, upon request of Bank, Borrower shall deliver copies of such policies). Borrower shall pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Bank evidence 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 and after three (3) Business Days written notice from Bank to comply, Bank may procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Bank's 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 shall be added to and become part of the Obligations. If any loss occurs at any time when Borrower has failed to perform Borrower's 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 any Mortgage or transfer of title to any Project in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Loans or any other amounts owing by Borrower to Bank, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies. After the occurrence of an Event of Default or in case of any loss in excess of $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 Projects, 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 (other than Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct), 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. Borrower appoints Bank as Borrower's 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.
(B) Subject to the provisions of the immediately succeeding paragraph, after deducting from any casualty insurance proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including Attorneys' Fees, Bank shall apply
46
the same at its 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 Bank's 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 Bank's Lien, and any balance of such monies then remaining shall be paid to Borrower or the Person lawfully entitled thereto.
(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Event of Default has occurred (and if there shall then be no event which with the passage of time and/or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default), then Borrower shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim for Damage if the total amount of such claim is less than $500,000.00, provided that Borrower promptly uses the full amount of such insurance proceeds for Restoration of the Damage and provides evidence thereof to Bank in a manner acceptable to Bank. If Borrower receives any insurance proceeds for the Damage, then Borrower shall promptly deliver the proceeds to Bank.
(D) Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary, and a claim is greater than $500,000.00, Bank agrees that the proceeds of any casualty insurance or any part thereof (after deducting therefrom all of its 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 to be applied by Borrower to restoration or repair of the Improvements provided the following conditions are met:
(1) There exists no Default;
(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 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 (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 sole discretion (and Bank agrees to respond promptly with respect to any proposed plans and specifications);
(4) All parties having existing or expected possessory interests in the Improvements agree to continue, in a manner 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 sole discretion), or Borrower shall
47
deliver security satisfactory to Bank, in its sole and absolute 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;
(5) All parties having operating, management or franchise interests in, and arrangements concerning, the Improvements, if any, agree that they will continue their interests and arrangements for the contract terms then in effect following the restoration or repair;
(6) All parties having commitments to provide financing with respect to the Improvements, to purchase Borrower's interest in full or in part in the Improvements, or to purchase the applicable Loan, agree in a manner satisfactory to Bank that their commitments will continue in full force and effect and, if necessary, the expiration of such commitments will be extended by the time necessary to complete the restoration or repair; and
(7) Borrower shall enter into such agreements and deliver such other documents and other things as may be required by Bank in connection with the disbursement of all such proceeds.
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied within ninety (90) days after the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds shall be held by Bank and, after deducting from said insurance proceeds all of its 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 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 determined by Bank, in Bank's discretion, in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all applicable Laws.
If the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (7) of this Section are not satisfied within ninety (90) days of the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (B) of this Section.
(E) If all or any material portion of any Project shall be damaged or 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 a taking for the purpose of widening existing roads bordering the Land or for utility easements or any other similar purpose which does not adversely affect access or the use of such 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, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution, or the
48
proposed, contemplated or threatened institution of any action or proceeding for the taking through condemnation of any 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, 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; 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 damages and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor without any obligation to question the amount of any such compensation, awards or damages; and 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 7.3 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.
7.4 Assigned Document Covenants.
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 notice of default which Borrower shall send or receive under the Assigned Documents; (d) enforce the performance and observance of the 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 alter, modify or change, in any material respect, the terms of any Assigned Document, nor give any consent to exercise any option required or permitted by such terms (to the extent such consent is required) without the prior written consent of Bank in each such case; (h) not cancel or terminate any Assigned Document, or accept a surrender of any Assigned Document; (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) not alter, modify or change, in any material respect, the terms of any guaranty of any Assigned Document, and shall not cancel or terminate any such guaranty, without the prior written consent of Bank in each such case; (k) not consent to any assignment of, or subletting under, any Assigned Lease (to the extent such consent is required) without the prior written consent of Bank; (l) at Bank's request, execute any documentation confirming the assignment and transfer to Bank of each Assigned Document; and (m) 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.
49
Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, so long as there shall not exist any Event of Default, then Borrower shall have the right 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 of the date provided in the applicable Assigned Lease for such payment.
7.5 Escrow Deposits. 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 following a Default 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 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 may be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, commingled with the general funds of Bank, and no interest shall be payable in respect thereof. 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.
7.6 Filing Fees and Taxes. Borrower covenants and agrees to pay all recording and filing fees, revenue stamps, taxes and other expenses and charges payable in connection with the execution and delivery to Bank of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the recording, filing, satisfaction, continuation and release of any financing statements or other instruments filed or recorded in connection herewith or therewith.
7.7 Further Assurances. Borrower covenants and agrees that, at Borrower's cost and expense, upon request of Bank, Borrower shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to Bank such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper in the opinion of Bank or its counsel to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

Bank agrees to promptly notify Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Bank under this Section are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Bank may have.
8.7 No Limitation on Rights and Remedies. The enumeration of the powers, rights and remedies in this Article shall not be construed to limit the exercise thereof to such time as an Event of Default occurs if, under applicable Law or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank has any of such powers, rights and remedies regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, and any limitation contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents as to Bank's exercise of any power, right or remedy for a period of time only during the continuance of an Event of Default shall only be applicable at such time as Bank shall have actual knowledge that such Event of Default is no longer continuing and for a reasonable time thereafter as may be necessary for Bank to cease the exercise of such powers, rights and remedies (it being expressly understood and agreed that until such time as Bank shall obtain such knowledge and after the expiration of such reasonable time, Bank shall have no liability whatsoever for the commencement of or continuing exercise of any such power, right or remedy).

ARTICLE IX
9. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
9.1 Termination of Bank's Lien. This Agreement and Banks Lien will not be terminated until one of Bank's officers signs a written termination or satisfaction agreement to such effect. Even if Borrower should pay all of the Obligations owing to Bank at any one time, Bank's Lien will continue to secure any sum Borrower should later owe Bank until the written termination or satisfaction agreement referred to above has been executed by Bank (provided that Bank agrees to promptly provide a written termination or satisfaction agreement upon request of Borrower, provided that the Obligations have been paid in full, Bank has no obligation to make any further Advances or new Project Loans 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 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. In no event shall Bank be obligated to terminate Banks Lien or return or release the Collateral or any portion thereof to Borrower (a) until payment in full of the Obligations, or (b) if Bank is obligated to extend credit to Borrower.
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 any Borrower Party to or for the benefit of any Bank Party with respect to the Loans, all of which shall be construed as complementary to each other, and all existing liabilities and obligations of any Borrower Party to any Bank Party with respect to the Loans and any Liens heretofore granted to or for the benefit of any Bank Party with respect to the Loans 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 any Borrower Party contained herein and therein. Nothing herein contained shall prevent any Bank Party from 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 terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
9.3 Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Bank Parties and their respective officers, directors, agents, and attorneys against, and to hold Bank Parties 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 Parties 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 Loan and termination of this Agreement.
56
9.4 Bank's Consent or Approval.
(A) 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 Bank's "satisfaction", or in Bank's "discretion" and/or where the approval, consent, or the exercise of Bank's 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.
(B) Notwithstanding any approvals or consents by Bank, Bank has no obligation or responsibility whatsoever for the adequacy, form or content of any contract, any lease, or any other matter incident to any Project. Any inspection or audit of any Project or the Records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Bank shall be for Bank's protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility to Borrower or anyone else with regard to the condition, maintenance or operation of any Project, or relieve Borrower of any of Borrower's obligations. Bank has no duty to supervise or to inspect any 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 Project.
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 Expenses of Bank. Borrower will, on demand, reimburse Bank for all expenses incurred by Bank in connection with the preparation, administration, amendment, modification or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and/or in the collection of any amounts owing from Borrower or any other Person to Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and, until so paid, the amount of such expenses shall be added to and become part of the Obligations.
9.7 Attorneys' Fees. If at any time or times hereafter Bank employs counsel to advise or provide other representation with respect to this Agreement, any Loan Document, or any other agreement, document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter
57
executed by any Borrower Party and delivered to Bank with respect to the Obligations, or to commence, defend or intervene, file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings or to take any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any Loan Document, or any other agreement, instrument or document heretofore, now or hereafter executed by any Borrower Party and delivered to Bank with respect to the Obligations, or to represent Bank in any litigation with respect to the affairs of any Borrower Party, or to enforce any rights of Bank or obligations of any Borrower Party or any other Person which may be obligated to Bank by virtue of this Agreement, any Loan Document, or any other agreement, document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter delivered to Bank by or for the benefit of Borrower with respect to the Obligations, or to collect from Borrower any amounts owing hereunder, then in any such event, all of the Attorneys' Fees incurred by Bank arising from such services and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional obligations of Borrower payable on demand and, until so paid, shall be added to and become part of the Obligations.
9.8 Exclusiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made for the sole protection of Borrower Parties and Bank, and Bank's successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have any right of action hereunder.
