        6.17   Utilities.  All utility services, including, without limitation, gas, electric, water, storm and sanitary sewer and telephone facilities, necessary for the construction of the Improvements and the operation thereof for their intended purposes are available at or within the boundaries of the Land.

        6.18   Roads.  All roads necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been completed.

        6.19   Proper Subdivision.  The Land consists of Parcel A and Parcel B. The Land is currently taxed separately without regard to any other real property. The Land may currently be mortgaged, conveyed and otherwise dealt with as a separate legal lot or parcel.

        6.20   Compliance.  The construction, use and occupancy of the Property comply in full with all Governmental Requirements and Title Restrictions except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct or use the Improvements is to any extent dependent upon or related to any real property other than the Land. All approvals, licenses, permits, certifications, filings and other actions normally accepted as proof of compliance with all Governmental Requirements by prudent lending institutions that make investments secured by real property in the general area of the Land, to the extent available as of the date of this Agreement, have been duly given or taken.

        6.21   No Prior Liens or Claims.  The Deed of Trust is a valid first lien on the Project, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower and Guarantor shall be solely responsible for any indemnity agreements or other arrangements relating to mechanics’ liens and similar claims that may be required by Title Insurer as a condition to issuance of the Title Policy.

26


 

        6.22   Adequacy of Loan.  The aggregate amount of all Loan proceeds and any Borrower’s Funds heretofore delivered to Lender is sufficient to pay all costs of construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and all Remaining Costs related thereto, except as has been specifically disclosed to and approved in writing by Lender.

        6.23   Other Financing.  Borrower has not received other financing for either the acquisition of the Land or the construction of the Improvements, except as has been specifically disclosed to and approved by Lender in writing, or is going to be paid off, prior to or concurrent with Recordation.

        6.24   Taxes.  Borrower has filed all required federal, state, county and city tax returns and has paid all taxes that are required to be paid under Paragraph 9.3. Borrower knows of no basis for any material additional assessments against it in respect of such taxes.

        6.25   Broker’s Fees.  Borrower has not dealt with any Person who is or may be entitled to any brokerage commission, finder’s fee, loan commission or other sum in connection with signing and entering into this Agreement, the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby or the making of the Loan by Lender to Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that Lender may suffer or sustain should such representation or warranty prove to be inaccurate in whole or in part.

        6.26   Application of Disbursements.  All Loan proceeds and Borrower’s Funds heretofore disbursed to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, if any, have been used only for payment of those items specified in the Disbursement request for which the particular Disbursement was made. Except as permitted in Sections 5.2, Borrower has not applied any such Disbursement to pay or reimburse itself, directly or indirectly, for any of Borrower’s Funds required to be deposited by the terms of this Agreement, or for any other amounts paid by Borrower or any other Person but not included in the Cost Breakdown.

        6.27   Accuracy.  All reports, documents, instruments, information and forms of evidence delivered to Lender concerning the Loan or required by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents are accurate, correct and sufficiently complete to give Lender true and accurate knowledge of their subject matter, and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the same not materially misleading.

        6.28   Non-Foreign Entity.  Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. To inform Lender that the withholding of tax will not be required in the event of the disposition of the Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust, Borrower hereby certifies, under penalty of perjury, that:

27


 

(a) Borrower is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and regulations promulgated thereunder); (b) Borrower’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is that set forth in Article 1 above; and (c) Borrower’s principal place of business is at the address set forth in Article 1 above. Borrower understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Lender and that any false statement contained herein could be punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both. Borrower agrees to execute such further certificates in connection therewith, which shall also be signed under penalty of perjury, as Lender shall reasonably require.

        6.29   Employee Plans.   Borrower neither maintains nor participates in any pension, retirement, profit-sharing or similar employee benefit plan.

        6.30   Natural Hazard Zones and Wetlands.  Except as disclosed in writing by Borrower to Lender prior to the execution hereof, no portion of any of the Project is located in any of the following areas, as defined under California law:

  (i) in an area designated as a “Dam Failure Inundation Area;”
     
  (ii) in an area designated as a “Special Flood Hazard Area;”
     
  (iii) in an area designated as a “High Fire Severity Zone;”
     
  (iii) in an area designated as a “High Fire Severity Zone;”
     
  (iv) in an area designated as a “Wildland Fire Area;”
     
  (v) in an area designated as a “Earthquake Fault Zone;”
     
  (vi) in an area designated as a “Seismic Hazard Zone;” or
     
  (vii) in an area designated as a “Wetlands.”

        6.31   Nature of Representations and Warranties.  Borrower certifies to Lender that all representations and warranties made in this Agreement and all other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make such representations and warranties not materially misleading. Any such representations and warranties shall remain true and correct in all material respects on the date of each request for a Disbursement and shall survive so long as any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Loan or any part thereof remains outstanding, and for any applicable statute of limitations period thereafter. Each representation and warranty made in this Agreement, in any other Loan Document, and in any other document delivered to Lender by Borrower, Peony or Guarantor shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation, inspection or inquiry theretofore or thereafter made by or on behalf of Lender, or any disbursement made by Lender related thereto. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement which are made to the best knowledge of Borrower have been made after commercially reasonable inquiry calculated to ascertain the truth and accuracy of the subject matter of each such representation and warranty.

ARTICLE 7 - BORROWER’S CONSTRUCTION COVENANTS

        7.1   Commencement and Completion.  Borrower agrees to commence and complete the construction of the Improvements as follows:

                 7.1.1   As of the Closing Date, Borrower shall have commenced construction of the Improvements.

                 7.1.2   Borrower shall cause construction of the Improvements to be prosecuted to Completion within the time frames in the Construction Schedule, and to be completed on or before the Completion Date.

        7.2   Construction.  Borrower shall cause the Improvements to be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner according to the Plans and the recommendations of any soils or engineering report approved by Lender. In constructing the Improvements, Borrower shall cause all applicable Governmental Requirements and Title Restrictions to be complied with. If necessary, the Plans shall be modified to comply with the Governmental Requirements and Title Restrictions, subject to the provisions of the following Paragraph 7.3.

        7.3   Plans.  There shall be no material change, amendment or modification of the Plans, the General Contract or any subcontract without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, as follows:

                 7.3.1   A material change for purposes of this Paragraph shall include, without limitation, any change that: (a) involves a cost of more than the Change Order Amount, whether such change increases or decreases the total cost of the Improvements; (b) together with costs associated with prior changes, results in an increase in the total cost of changes of more than the Aggregate Change Order Amount; (c) materially changes the square footage of the Improvements; (d) constitutes a material change in the building material, equipment specifications, architectural or structural design, value or character of any of the Improvements; (e) would affect the structural integrity, quality or overall efficiency of the Improvements, its operating or utility systems; (f) requires the approval of any Person other than the parties to the General Contract or subcontract or Lender; or (g) might adversely affect the value of Lender’s security for the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged by the parties hereto that the Plans are still being prepared as of the Closing Date, and that once the Plans for the shell and the tenant improvements have been completed, the same shall be subject to review and approval by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, if such Plans are a logical evolution of and consistent with the Plans as of the date hereof.

29


 

                 7.3.2   Requests for approval shall be submitted on a Change Order form acceptable to Lender signed by Borrower and, if required by Lender, the General Contractor, accompanied by working drawings and a written narrative of the proposed change. Lender shall not be required to consider approval of any change unless all other approvals that are required from other Persons have been obtained. As conditions to its approval, (a) Lender may require satisfactory evidence of the cost and of the time necessary to complete the proposed change, and (b) to the extent Lender determines that the proposed change may result in any increased cost, Lender may make written demand upon Borrower to deliver the amount of the increased costs to Lender as Borrower’s Funds for deposit into the Borrower’s Funds Account. Lender is under no duty to review or inform Borrower of the quality or suitability of the Plans, the General Contract, any other contract or subcontract or any changes thereto.

                 7.3.3   Borrower acknowledges that the process of obtaining the information needed to put Lender in a position to approve a proposed change may cause delays. Borrower consents to such delays and agrees to cooperate diligently with Lender in gathering the information required by Lender with respect to any such proposed change. All contracts hereinafter entered into by Borrower, the General Contractor, and other contractors and subcontractors after the date of this Agreement related to the Property shall contain covenants to the same effect as the covenants made by Borrower in this Paragraph 7.3.3. Lender agrees to review, and approve or disapprove, proposed changes in the Plans and Change Orders on a reasonably diligent and timely basis.

        7.4   Cost Breakdown.  There shall be no change in the Cost Breakdown without Lender’s prior written approval, which may be given or withheld at Lender’s sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there shall be no re-allocation of amounts between line items without such prior written approval. Requests for approval shall be submitted on a form acceptable to Lender, signed by Borrower and accompanied by a written narrative of the proposed change. As conditions to its approval, (a) Lender may require satisfactory evidence of the reasons for the proposed change, and (b) to the extent Lender determines that the proposed change may result in an increase in any cost item, Lender may make written demand upon Borrower to deliver the amount of the increased cost to Lender as Borrower’s Funds for deposit into the Borrower’s Funds Account. On the Closing Date, a portion of the Project Costs set forth in Cost Breakdown may be attributable to the cost of grading and other site work on Parcel B (the “Parcel B Site Work”) that is unrelated to the construction of the Improvements. If Borrower provides Lender with a revised Cost Breakdown that excludes the costs of the Parcel B Site Work from the amount of Project Costs set forth on such revised Cost Breakdown, the amount of Project Costs is not reduced below $67,333,170, and Lender acting in its reasonable discretion delivers approval of such revisions, then Lender should make Disbursement to Borrower in an amount equal to the reduction in the amount of Project Costs that is shown on such Cost Breakdown.

30


 

        7.5   Construction Information.  Lender shall have the right to obtain information regarding the construction of the Improvements, and to take action with respect thereto, as follows:

                 7.5.1   From time to time, and within ten (10) days after receipt from Lender of a request therefor, Borrower shall deliver to Lender: (a) a List of Contractors, together with copies of each contract and subcontract identified therein and all amendments thereto; (b) a Project Cost Schedule; (c) a Construction Schedule; and (d) with respect to any item designated above which has been previously delivered, such updates thereof as Lender may request.

                 7.5.2   Borrower expressly authorizes Lender to contact any contractor, subcontractor or supplier of materials or services, and at all reasonable times to enter the Land and inspect the Improvements and work of construction, in order to verify information disclosed pursuant to this Paragraph 7.5.2 or for any other purpose. All contracts hereinafter entered into by Borrower, the General Contractor, and other contractors and subcontractors after the date of this Agreement related to the Property shall require the disclosure to Lender of information sufficient to make such verification.

                 7.5.3   Lender has approved General Contractor. Lender retains the right to disapprove of any replacement General Contractor. Lender’s approval of General Contractor shall not constitute a representation, warranty or acknowledgment by Lender that General Contractor is in fact qualified.

        7.6   Inspections.  Borrower shall or Borrower shall cause Peony to permit Lender to make inspections and to obtain other information related to the Loan, the Land and the Improvements, as follows:

                 7.6.1   Lender shall have the right at all reasonable times to enter upon the Land, to inspect the Improvements and all materials to be used in the construction thereof, and to examine the Plans and all shop drawings which are or may be kept at the construction site. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender and shall cause the General Contractor and all other contractors, subcontractors and suppliers of materials or services to cooperate with Lender toward that end.

                 7.6.2   Lender shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine, copy and make extracts of the books, records, accounting data and other documents of Borrower, the General Contractor, and all other contractors, subcontractors and suppliers of materials or services in connection with the work of constructing the improvements, including, without limitation, all permits, licenses, consents and approvals related thereto; provided, however, Lender shall have such right only to the extent the General Contractor or the respective subcontractor or supplier is paid on a time and materials basis. To the extent within Borrower’s control, such books, records, accounting data and other documents shall be made available to Lender promptly upon written demand therefor. All contracts hereinafter entered into by Borrower, the General Contractor, and other contractors and subcontractors after the date of this Agreement relating to the construction of the Improvements shall require agreement to the foregoing inspection rights; provided, however, Lender shall have such right only to the extent the General Contractor or the respective subcontractor or supplier is paid on a time and materials basis.

31


 

                 7.6.3   Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may require an inspection of the Property by any Inspection Agent: (a) prior to each Disbursement; (b) at least once each month during the course of construction, whether or not any Disbursement is to be made for that month; (c) upon Completion of construction of the Improvements; and (d) at least annually thereafter so long as any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Loan or any part thereof remains outstanding, and for any applicable statute of limitations period thereafter. Borrower shall pay the Inspection Agent’s standard fee for its inspections, other than inspections occurring after payment of the Loan in full, reserving to Lender, however, all rights under the Environmental Indemnity, the Environmental Indemnity-Borrower, the Guaranty and the Completion Guaranty.

                 7.6.4   Lender is under no duty to supervise or to inspect the work of construction or any books, records, accounting data or other documents. Lender’s failure to inspect, discover or disclose any information available to Lender in connection with any such inspection shall not constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights under this Agreement. Lender’s inspection not followed by notice of an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. Any such inspection by Lender shall be for the sole purpose of protecting the security of Lender, and shall in no way be construed as a representation, warranty or acknowledgment by Lender that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans or that the construction is or will be free from faulty materials or workmanship.

        7.7    Approved Contracts Only.  Borrower shall not sign or enter into any contract or become a party to any arrangement for the performance of work on the Land except as may be approved by Lender or with respect to which Lender has waived the requirement for approval. Unless and until Lender so informs Borrower to the contrary, the approval requirement shall be deemed waived for any contracts of less than $500,000 in the aggregate.

        7.8   No Conditional Sales.  Borrower shall not install any personal property, materials, equipment or fixtures subject to any security agreement or other contract wherein the right is reserved to any Person to remove or repossess any such personal property, material, equipment or fixtures, or whereby title to the same is not completely vested in Borrower at the time of installation, without Lender’s written consent; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to obtain Lender’s consent for the acquisition or the installation of laboratory equipment on the Property so long as Loan proceeds are not utilized for said equipment; provided, further, this Section 7.8 shall not apply to furniture, trade fixtures or equipment that are owned by or leased to Guarantor.

        7.9   Liens and Stop Notices.  If any claim of lien is recorded which affects the Property (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) or a stop notice is served upon Lender which affects the Loan or Borrower’s Funds, Borrower shall, or Borrower shall cause Peony to, within thirty (30) days after such recording or service: (a) pay and discharge the same; (b) effect the release thereof by recording or delivering to Lender a surety bond in form and amount satisfactory to Lender; or

32


 

(c) provide Lender with other assurance which Lender, in its sole discretion, deems to be satisfactory for the payment of such lien or stop notice and for the full and continuous protection of Lender from the effect thereof. If Borrower fails to remove any lien on the Improvements or bonded stop notice against the Loan or Borrower’s Funds, and fails to provide satisfactory security in lieu of removal of such lien or stop notice as provided in “(b)” above and fails to provide Lender with the assurances as provided in “(c)” above, Lender may pay such lien or stop notice, or may contest the validity thereof, paying all costs and expenses of contesting the same, including attorneys’ fees, and may debit Borrower’s Funds or the Undisbursed Loan Account, as applicable, for all payments made and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in doing so.

        7.10   DeIay.  Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any event causing material delay or interruption of the construction or its timely completion. The notice shall specify the particular work delayed, and the cause and period of each delay.

        7.11   Surveys.  At Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender: (a) a perimeter survey of the Land; (b) upon completion of the foundations for the Improvements, a survey showing the location of the Improvements on the Land and showing that the Improvements are located entirely within the Land and do not encroach upon any easement or breach or violate any Governmental Requirements or Title Restrictions; and (c) upon Completion of the Improvements, an “as-built” survey acceptable to Title Insurer as an ALTA survey. All such surveys shall be made and certified by a licensed engineer or surveyor.

        7.12   Correction of Defects.  If in Lender’s opinion any work is not in substantial conformance with the Plans or is otherwise defective or unsatisfactory to Lender, Lender shall have the right to stop such non-conforming work and any other work that may be affected thereby and order its replacement, whether or not such non-conforming work has theretofore been incorporated into the Improvements. Failure within thirty (30) days from the date Lender notifies Borrower of such non-conforming work to diligently endeavor to correct, or cause the respective contractor to correct, non-conforming work shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. The advance of any Loan proceeds or Borrower’s Funds shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require compliance with this covenant.

        7.13   Construction Responsibilities.  Borrower shall be solely responsible for all aspects of Borrower’s business and conduct in connection with the Property, including, but not limited to, the quality and suitability of the Plans, their compliance with all Governmental Requirements and Title Restrictions, the supervision of the work of construction, the qualifications, financial condition and performance of all architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants and property managers, the accuracy of all applications for payment, and the proper application of all Disbursements. Lender is not obligated to supervise, inspect or inform Borrower or any third party of any aspect of the construction of the Improvements or any other matter referred to above. Any inspection or review by Lender is to determine whether Borrower is properly discharging its obligations to Lender and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any third party. Lender owes no duty of care to Borrower or any third party to protect against, or to inform Borrower or any third party of, any negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Improvements.

ARTICLE 8 - HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

        8.1   Borrower’s Representation and Warranty.  Before signing this Agreement, Borrower researched and inquired into the previous uses and ownership of the Land. Based on that due diligence, Borrower represents and warrants that no Hazardous Substances have been discharged, disposed of or released or otherwise exists in, on, under or to the Land, except as Borrower has disclosed to Lender in writing as Exhibit “L” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

        8.2   Borrower’s Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend Lender and its directors, officers, employees, partners, attorneys, agents, participants, successors and assigns, and each of them, from and against any and all Environmental Losses.

        8.3   Compliance With Environmental Laws.  Borrower has complied, and shall comply and cause all occupants of the Land and the Improvements to comply, with all Environmental Laws which apply or pertain to the Land, the Improvements or the uses thereon or therein by Borrower or any tenant or other occupant. Borrower acknowledges that Hazardous Substances may permanently and materially impair the value and use of real property and that breach of this covenant constitutes willful misconduct and intentional waste of the Land.

        8.4   Notices to Lender.  Borrower shall give immediate written notice to Lender of: (a) any proceeding, inquiry, notice or other communication by or from any Governmental Authority, including, but not limited to, the California State Department of Health Services and the Environmental Protection Agency, regarding the presence, release, discharge or existence of any Hazardous Substance on, under or about the Land or any migration thereof from or to the Property or any actual or alleged violation of any Environmental Laws; (b) all claims made or threatened against Borrower or the Property relating to any damage, liability, potential liability, loss or injury resulting from or pertaining to any Hazardous Substance Activity or violation of any Environmental Laws; (c) Borrower’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Land that could cause the Land or the Improvements or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on ownership, occupancy, transferability or use, or subject the owner or any person having any interest in the Property to any liability, penalty or disability under any Environmental Law, including, but not limited to, any that could cause the Land or any part thereof to be classified as “border-zone property” under the provisions of California Health & Safety Code §§ 25220, et seq. or any regulation thereunder or in connection therewith; and (d) Borrower’s receipt of any notice or discovery of any information regarding any actual, alleged or potential use, manufacture, production, storage, spillage, seepage, release, discharge, disposal or any other presence or existence of any Hazardous Substances

34


 

on, under or about the Property (except as permitted under Paragraph 8.7), or any violation of any Environmental Laws pertaining to Borrower or the Land. Immediately upon receipt of any of the following, Borrower shall deliver copies to Lender: any and all orders, notices, permits, applications, reports and other communications, documents and instruments pertaining to any Hazardous Substance Activity or the violation of any Environmental Laws pertaining to Borrower or the Property. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to join and participate in as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions in connection with the Property involving any Hazardous Substance Activity or any Environmental Laws, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all of Lender’s costs and expenses in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees.

        8.5   Site Visits, Observations and Testing.  Lender and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time to enter and visit the Property for the purposes of observing the Land, taking and removing soils or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Property. Lender is under no duty, however, to visit or observe the Land or to conduct tests, and any such acts by Lender shall be solely for the purpose of protecting Lender’s security and preserving Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents. No site visit, observation or testing by Lender shall result in a waiver of any default of Borrower or impose any liability on Lender. In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by Lender be a representation that Hazardous Substances are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to Hazardous Substances or any other applicable governmental law. Neither Borrower nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by Lender. Lender owes no duty of care to protect Borrower or any other party against, or to inform Borrower or any other party of, any Hazardous Substances or any other adverse condition affecting the Property. Lender shall not be obligated to disclose to Borrower or any other party any report or findings made as the result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation or testing by Lender. In each instance, Lender shall give Borrower reasonable notice before entering the Property. Lender shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Borrower’s use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this Paragraph 8.5, and shall cooperate as reasonably requested by Borrower to avoid delay in construction of the Improvements. To the extent any such delay cannot be avoided, the Completion Date shall be extended as Lender deems reasonably appropriate in view of all the circumstances.

        8.6   Clean-Up.  Borrower agrees, at its sole cost and expense and upon the demand of Lender, to promptly take all actions to remediate the Property, as validly required by any federal, state, or local government agency, which remediation is necessitated from the presence upon or beneath the Property of Hazardous Substances. Such actions shall include, but not be limited to, the investigation of Hazardous Substances on, about, or under the Property, the preparation of any feasibility studies, reports, or remedial plans, and the performance of any cleanup, remediation, containment, operation, maintenance, monitoring, or restoration work, whether on or off the Property, relating to said Hazardous Substances. Borrower shall promptly provide to Lender copies of all testing results and reports that are generated in connection with the above activities. Promptly upon completion of such investigation and(or) remediation, Borrower shall

35


 

permanently seal, cap, or properly abandon all monitoring wells and test holes to industrial standards in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, remove all associated equipment, and restore the Property to the maximum extent possible, which shall include, without limitation, the repair of any surface damage, including paving, caused by such investigation and(or) remediation provided hereunder.

        8.7   Exception for Ordinary and Reasonable Use of Hazardous Substances Permitted by Law.  Nothing in this Article shall preclude the use by Borrower or General Contractor, subcontractors, tenants and agents from using materials that may be classified Hazardous Substances, so long as such use is permitted by applicable law and is of such types and in such quantities as is ordinary and reasonable in the construction and operation of the Project.

ARTICLE 9 - BORROWER'S OTHER COVENANTS

        9.1   Deposit of Borrower’s Funds; Loan Balancing.  From time to time, and within ten (10) days after receipt from Lender of written demand therefor, Borrower shall deliver Borrower’s Funds to Lender for deposit into the Borrower’s Funds Account, as and to the extent expressly required by this Agreement. If Borrower’s Funds shall be located in the Borrower’s Funds Account such amounts shall be disbursed before the disbursement of any Loan proceeds, except as may otherwise be agreed by Lender in writing. If at any time in Lender’s reasonable judgment, the Loan is out of a balance, Lender may make such a demand upon Borrower and, within such ten (10) day period, Borrower shall deliver to Lender as Borrower’s Funds an amount equal to the deficiency set forth in the demand for deposit into the Borrower’s Funds Account. The Loan shall be deemed “out of balance,” if either: (a) the amount required at that time to complete and pay for the construction of the Improvements and the other items contemplated by the Cost Breakdown (excluding the amount of interest Lender estimates shall accrue on the Loan prior to the Initial Maturity Date) is more than the Undisbursed Loan (except the Interest Reserve Amount) and the amounts then on deposit in the Borrower’s Funds Account allocated for such costs; or (b) the amount of interest Lender estimates to accrue on the Loan from the time of calculation to the Initial Maturity Date is more than the undisbursed Interest Reserve Amount. If Lender determines at any time that the Loan is out of balance, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Lender, Lender may decline to make further Disbursements under the Loan unless and until Borrower has made the deposit set forth in this Paragraph.

        9.2   Maintain Records.  Borrower shall keep and maintain full and accurate accounts and records of its operations according to generally accepted accounting principles and practices for its type of business. Borrower shall provide Lender with financial information for Borrower and Guarantor in a format acceptable to Lender, at least quarterly, delivered within forty-five (45) days of the end of each such quarter, or as otherwise required by Lender. All financial statements of Borrower and Guarantor

36


 

delivered annually shall be delivered within ninety (90) days of the end of each such fiscal year. All financial statements of Borrower and Guarantor shall be internally prepared on a consolidated basis and certified to Lender by the senior management of Borrower. Borrower shall also provide to Lender, after Completion of the Improvements, quarterly operating statements for the Property, delivered within forty-five (45) days of the end of each such quarter. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all financial information to be delivered to its members pursuant to the provisions and conditions of Borrower’s operating agreement. So long as the Guarantor is subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, the timely filing (including all permissible extension periods provided under Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR system of the Guarantor’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for such period and annual report on Form 10-K for such period will be deemed to satisfy all of the foregoing requirements of this Paragraph.

        9.3   Taxes.  Borrower shall pay and discharge all lawful claims, including taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies, imposed upon Borrower, Borrower’s income or profits and upon all properties belonging to Borrower, before the date upon which penalties attach thereto; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy, the payment of which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings as provided in the Deed of Trust. Borrower shall also provide Lender with copies of its Federal tax returns at the time of filing, if any.

        9.4   Notification of Default.  Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default as defined in this Agreement, or of any facts then in existence that would constitute an Event of Default upon the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both.

        9.5   Payment of Costs.  Borrower shall bear all costs and expenses required to satisfy the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of Lender’s counsel in connection with the Loan. Lender is hereby authorized to disburse the same upon the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter, directly to such Persons, including Lender, as may be entitled thereto pursuant to this Agreement.

        9.6   Additional Financial Information.  All financial information delivered by Borrower to Lender shall be in a form acceptable to Lender, and shall be the most recent that has been prepared by or for the subjects thereof. Lender may rely thereon until otherwise notified in writing by Borrower, and may, but shall not be obligated to, verify the information contained therein. From time to time, Lender may receive financial information about Borrower from others, and may answer consistent with standard banking practices questions and requests from others seeking credit and experience information about Borrower and its relationships with Lender.

                 12.1.4   Proceed as authorized at law or in equity with respect to such an Event of Default, and in connection therewith remain entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies described in this Agreement.

        13.7   Further Assurances.  At Lender’s request and at Borrower’s expense, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all other instruments and perform all other acts necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents or to perfect and preserve any liens created by the Loan Documents.

        13.8   Form of Documents.  The form and substance of all documents, instruments and forms of evidence to be delivered to Lender under the terms of any of the Loan Documents shall be subject to Lender’s approval, and shall not be modified, superseded or terminated in any respect without Lender’s prior written approval.

49


 

        13.9   Not Assignable.  Except as expressly provided in paragraph 5.4 of the Deed of Trust, neither this Agreement nor any rights of Borrower to receive any sums, proceeds or disbursements under this Agreement or under the Note may be assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered by Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld by Lender in its sole discretion. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Lender, Borrower and their respective successors and assigns, and shall bind Lender and Borrower and their respective permitted heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

        13.10   Attorneys’ Fees.  If Lender refers this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to an attorney to enforce, construe or defend the same, or as a consequence of any Event of Default as defined in this Agreement, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately upon demand, the amount of all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note. The reference to “attorneys’ fees” in this Paragraph, elsewhere in this Agreement and in all of the other Loan Documents shall include, without limitation, fees charged by Lender for the services furnished by attorneys who are in its employ, at rates not exceeding those that would be charged by outside attorneys for comparable services.

        13.11   Participations.  Lender may at any time sell or grant up to three (3) participations in, or otherwise dispose of in anyway, all or any part of the Loan. Lender shall provide Borrower with notice of any such participations or dispositions. Borrower shall, on Lender’s request, sign and deliver such further instruments as may in Lender’s reasonable opinion be necessary or advisable to effect such disposition, including, without limitation, new notes to be issued in exchange for any note(s) required under this Agreement. If Lender does elect to sell participations in the Loan, Lender may forward to each participant and prospective participant all documents and information related to the Loan in Lender’s possession, including, without limitation, all Financial Statements, whether furnished by Borrower or otherwise. Except as may be required by any rule, law or regulation of any Governmental Authority that is adopted after the date hereof, all recipients of participations must be affiliated with Lender, unless a change in control of Lender occurs, in which case the foregoing restrictions shall not apply.

        13.12   Notices.  All notices and demands under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed served upon delivery, or if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit thereof in the United States Postal Service, certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the address of Borrower or Lender appearing in Article 1. Notices of change of address may be given in the same manner. Notices and demands under the other Loan Documents shall be given and shall be deemed served in the same manner as notices and demands under this Agreement, except as may otherwise be specifically provided therein.

50


 

        13.13   Lender’s Agents.  Lender may upon written notice to Borrower designate agents or independent contractors to exercise any of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents. Any reference to Lender in any of the Loan Documents shall include Lender’s employees, agents and independent contractors.

        13.14   Integration and Interpretation.  The Loan Documents contain or expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters contemplated in this Agreement and supersede all prior negotiations and the loan application. The Loan Documents shall not be modified except by written instrument signed by Borrower and Lender. Any reference to the Property in any of the Loan Documents shall include all or any portion thereof. Any reference to the Loan Documents themselves in any of the Loan Documents shall include all amendments, renewals or extensions approved by Lender.

        13.15   Governing Law.  The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except to the extent preempted by federal law. Borrower and all Persons and entities in any manner obligated to Lender under the Loan Documents hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court within the State of California and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by California or federal law.

        13.16   No Third Parties Benefited.  No Person other than Lender and Borrower and their permitted successors and assigns shall have any right of action under any of the Loan Documents.

        13.17   Time of the Essence.  Time is hereby declared to be of the essence of this Agreement and of every part of this Agreement.

        13.18   Supplement to Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to supersede the provisions of any other Loan Documents, but shall be construed as supplemental thereto.

        13.19   Severability.  If any provision of the Loan Documents is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and all remaining parts shall continue in full force as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been part of the Loan Documents.

        13.20   Gender.  When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been used in the plural, the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa.

        13.21   Headings.  All headings appearing in any of the Loan Documents are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing the Loan Documents.

        13.22   Consent.  Whenever the consent or approval of either party is required pursuant to this Agreement, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, nor (except where a provision of this Agreement expressly refers to sole discretion)shall such consent or approval be unreasonably conditioned or withheld.

Disbursement Schedule

         
  A. Timing of Disbursements. Unless another provision of this Agreement specifies otherwise, on or about the seventh (7th) day of each month, or at such other time each month as Lender may deem appropriate, Borrower shall cause to be submitted to Lender a written itemized statement (“Request for Disbursement”) setting forth:
           
    1. A description of the work performed, material supplied and(or) costs incurred or due with respect to each item listed on the Cost Breakdown for which Disbursement is requested; and
           
    2. the total amount incurred, expended and(or) due for each requested item less prior Disbursements.
           
    Each Request for Disbursement by Borrower shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that Borrower is in compliance with all conditions precedent to the Disbursement as set forth in Article 4 of the Agreement.
           
  B. Lender'’s Right to Condition Disbursements. In addition to the conditions precedent to Disbursement provided in Article 4 of the Agreement, Lender shall have the right to condition any Disbursement upon Lender's receipt and approval of any or all of the following: setting forth:
           
    1. The Request for Disbursement.
           
    2. Bills, invoices, documents of title, vouchers, statements, payroll records, receipts and any other documents evidencing the total amount expended, incurred or due for any requested items.
           
    3. Use of an unconditional lien release, joint check and voucher system acceptable to Lender for payments or disbursements to any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, supplier or lien claimant.
           
    4. The Inspection Agent's periodic certifications of the percentage and(or) state of construction that has been completed and its conformance to the Plans and Governmental Requirements based upon the Inspection Agent's physical inspections of the Property.
           
    5. Statutory Waiver and release of mechanics' liens, stop notice claims, equitable lien claims or other lien claim rights, as required by Section 4.3.6 of this Agreement.
           
    6. A written release signed by an authorized representative of the surety, if any, to whom Lender has issued or will issue a set-aside letter.
    7. Any other document, requirement, evidence or information that Lender may request under any provision of the Loan Documents.
         
    No later than five (5) Business Days after satisfaction of all conditions precedent to Disbursements, Lender shall disburse funds as set forth in this Disbursement Schedule and in the body of the Agreement.
           
  C. Disbursement of Lender’s Fees and Costs. The portions of the Cost Breakdown allocated for payment of the Construction Loan Fee, and for the costs and expenses of Lender's legal counsel and other fees and costs incidental to the Loan, shall be disbursed directly as and when due, without the prior written instruction or request of Borrower. Lender shall provide a summary of all such expenses, and copies of invoices (except for the Construction Loan Fee and legal fees) for all such expenses.
           
  D. Periodic Disbursement of Interest Reserve Amount. Lender shall disburse amounts up to the Interest Reserve Amount from time to time, directly to Lender in payment of interest which accrues and becomes due under the Note. Lender is hereby authorized to charge the Loan and Borrower's Funds Account directly for such interest payments as they become due. Lender shall provide Borrower with a monthly interest statement. Depletion of the Interest Reserve Amount shall not release Borrower from any of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the interest accruing under the Note and the obligation to deposit Borrower's Funds with Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that following the depletion of the Interest Reserve Amount or the Final Disbursement, whichever comes first, Borrower shall be obligated to pay interest directly to Lender as it becomes due under the Note.
           
  E. Contingency Reserve. If the actual cost or a revised guaranteed cost of an item on the Cost Breakdown is less than the maximum amount allocated to such item on the Cost Breakdown, then any such excess amounts may be reallocated to the Contingency Reserve of that portion of the Cost Breakdown (i.e., Hard Contingency Reserve or General Contingency Reserve) from time to time upon Borrower's written request and Lender's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The portion of the Cost Breakdown allocated to the Contingency Reserve and any increases in the Contingency Reserve pursuant to this Disbursement Schedule shall be reallocated to such other items of the Cost Breakdown as Borrower shall from time to time request in writing and Lender shall approve. After any such reallocation, the portion of the Contingency Reserve that has been reallocated will be disbursed in accordance with the provisions governing the disbursement of the item(s) to which such portion of the Contingency Reserve has been reallocated. The reallocation or depletion or refusal of Lender to increase, reallocate or deplete the Contingency Reserve shall not release Borrower from any of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have the right to utilize the Hard Contingency Reserve to satisfy Change Orders that are less than or equal to the Change Order Amount and which, in total, do not exceed the Aggregate Change Order Amount, provided notification is expressly given to Lender in the then current Request for Disbursement.
           
  F. Periodic Disbursement of Construction Costs. Lender may in its discretion withhold from Disbursements any amounts on account of retainage under the Construction Contract that Owner is not then required to disburse to Contractor.
