6.13 COMPLETE LOTS AND TAX PARCELS

The Borrower shall take no action that would result in the inclusion of any portion of the Land in a tax parcel or subdivision lot that is not entirely included within the Land.

The Borrower shall perform its obligations as landlord under the Leases, and shall neither take any action, nor fail to take any action, if the action or failure would be inconsistent with the commercially reasonable management of the Real Property for the purpose of enhancing its long-term performance and value.

6.19 FINANCIAL REPORTS AND OPERATING STATEMENTS

(a) Maintenance of Books and Records

During the term of the Loan, the Borrower shall maintain complete and accurate accounting and operational records, including copies of all Leases and other material written contracts relating to the Real Property, copies of all tax statements, and evidence to support the payment of all material property-related expenses.

If the Borrower fails to deliver the items required in this Subsection, the Lender may engage an accounting firm to prepare the required items. The Borrower shall cooperate fully with any investigative audit required to permit the accounting firm to produce these items, and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with their preparation shall be paid on demand by the Borrower.

(c) Effect of Failure to Deliver Financial and Property Reports

If no Default exists and the Borrower fails to provide the financial and property reports required under this Section within one hundred twenty (120) days of the close of any fiscal year, the Lender will provide a Notice of this failure and a thirty (30)-day opportunity to cure before a Default shall exist. All monthly payments of principal and interest under the Note that become due after this cure period has elapsed but before the reports are received by the Lender must be accompanied by a fee of,000834 times the principal balance of the Loan at the beginning of the previous month, regardless of whether the Notice has asserted that the failure constitutes a Default under this Deed of Trust. This fee is to compensate the Lender for (A) the increased risk resulting from the Lender’s inability to monitor and service the Loan using up-to-date information and (B) the reduced value and liquidity of the Loan as a financial asset.

(dl) Certification of Information

The financial and operating statements provided under this Subsection need not, as an initial matter, be certified by an independent certified public accountant as having been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, or, in the case of financial statements prepared on a cash or income tax basis, or of operating statements, as not materially misleading based on an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Borrower shall, however, certify that such statements are true and correct, and the Lender expressly reserves the right to require such a certification by an independent certified public accountant if a Default exists or if the Lender has reason to believe that any previously provided financial or operating statement is misleading in any material respect.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees that the price paid at a lawful foreclosure sale, whether by the Lender or by a third party, and whether paid through cancellation of all or a portion of the Indebtedness or in cash, shall conclusively establish the value of the Real Property. The foregoing waivers shall apply to and bind any party assuming the Obligations of the Borrower under this Deed of Trust.

  (v)   failure to pay to the Lender all Rents, income and profits (including any rent collected more than one month in advance, or any rent for the last month of the lease term, under any Lease in force at the time of Default), net of reasonable and customary operating expenses, received in respect of a period when the Loan is in Default;

The Loan Documents are intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable Legal Requirements. Any provision of the Loan Documents that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall nevertheless be construed and given effect to the extent possible. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision in a particular jurisdiction shall neither invalidate nor render unenforceable any other provision of the Loan Documents in that jurisdiction, and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction. If a provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable as to a particular person or under a particular circumstance, it shall nevertheless he presumed valid and enforceable as to others, or under other circumstances.

26.11 USURY

The parties intend that no provision of the Note or the Loan Documents he interpreted, construed, applied, or enforced so as to permit or require the payment or collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate. In this regard, the Borrower and the Lender each stipulate and agree that it is their common and overriding intent to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws. Accordingly, none of the terms of this Deed of Trust, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents shalt ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate, and the Borrower shall never be liable for interest in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate. Therefore, (a) in the event that the Indebtedness and Obligations are prepaid or the maturity of the Indebtedness and Obligations is accelerated by reason of an election by the Lender, unearned interest shall be canceled and, if theretofore paid, shall either be refunded to the Borrower or credited on the Indebtedness, as the Lender may elect; (b) the aggregate of all interest and other charges constituting interest under applicable laws and contracted for, chargeable or receivable under the Note and the other Loan Documents or otherwise in connection with the transaction contemplated thereby shall never exceed the maximum amount of interest, nor produce a rate in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate; and (c) if any excess interest is provided for or received, it shall be deemed a mistake, and the same shall, at the option of the Lender, either be refunded to the Borrower or credited on the unpaid principal amount (if any), and the Indebtedness shall be automatically reformed so as to permit only the collection of the interest at the Maximum Permitted Rate. Furthermore, if any provision of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents is interpreted, construed, applied, or enforced, in such a manner as to provide for interest in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate, then the parties intend that such provision automatically shall be deemed reformed retroactively so as to require payment only of interest at the Maximum Permitted Rate. If, for any reason whatsoever, interest paid or received during the full term of the applicable Indebtedness produces a rate which exceeds the Maximum Permitted Rate, then the amount of such excess shall be deemed credited retroactively in reduction of the then outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness, together with interest at such Maximum Permitted Rate. The Lender shall credit against the principal of such Indebtedness (or, if such Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, shall refund to the payor of such interest) such portion of said interest as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid to produce a rate equal to the Maximum Permitted Rate. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the applicable Indebtedness, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term of such Indebtedness. In connection with all calculations to determine the Maximum Permitted Rate, the parties intend that all charges be excluded to the extent they are properly excludable under applicable usury laws, as they from time to time are determined to apply to this transaction. The provisions of this Section shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between the Borrower and the Lender.

26.12 ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The Loan Documents contain the entire agreements between the parties relating to the financing of the Real Properly, and all prior agreements which are not contained in the Loan Documents, other than the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, are terminated. The Loan Documents represent the fmal agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. The Loan Documents may be amended, revised, waived, discharged, released or terminated only by a written instrument or instruments executed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted.

Any approval or consent that the Lender might withhold may be conditioned in any way.

Furthermore, the Borrower hereby waives any rights or remedies on account of any extensions of time, releases granted, or other dealings between the Lender and any subsequent owner of the Property as such activities
are contemplated or otherwise addressed in N.C. Gen. Stat. Sections 45-45.1 or any similar or subsequent law.
