2.2       Project Budget. When delivered, the Project Budget will reflect Borrower’s good faith statement of the purposes and the amounts for which funds are to be advanced by the Lender under this Agreement.

2.3       Amount of Advances. In no event shall the Lender be obligated to advance more than the Loan Amount.

2.4       Quality of Work. No Advance shall be due unless all work which is the subject to the Draw Request for such Advance is submitted is done in a good and workmanlike manner and without material defects, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Inspector.

2.5       Cost Overruns and Savings.

3.         MAKING THE ADVANCES.

3.1       Draw Request. Except in connection with the initial Advance of $18.4 million (which shall be funded by Lender at Closing in accordance with Section 10 below) (the “Initial Advance”), at such time as the Borrower shall desire to obtain a subsequent Advance, the Borrower shall complete, execute and deliver to the Lender the Borrower’s Requisition in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Each Borrower’s Requisition shall be accompanied by:

(a)       If the Borrower’s Requisition includes amounts to be paid to the Contractor under the Construction Contract: (i) a completed and fully itemized Application and Certificate for Payment (AIA Document G702 or similar form approved by the Lender) containing the certification of the Contractor and the Engineer as to the accuracy of same; and (ii) copies of requisitions and invoices from subcontractors and materialmen supporting all items of Direct Cost covered by such application;

(b)       If the Borrower’s Requisition includes payments for Indirect Costs, it shall be accompanied by invoices for all items of Indirect Costs covered thereby;

(c)       If requested by the Lender or if a mechanics or materialmen lien has been filed, an accurately completed and valid lien waiver with respect to work performed to date for which payment has been received (hereinafter, the “Lien Waiver”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be executed by the Contractor or the applicable subcontractor, laborer, or materialmen; and

(d)       Copies of all change orders and construction change directives, accompanied by a change order summary prepared by and executed by the Borrower, and, to the extent requested by the Lender within three (3) Business Days of receipt of Borrower’s Requisition, of all inspection or test reports and other documents relating to the construction of the Improvements, which are in existence and not previously delivered to the Lender;

(e)       If the Borrower’s Requisition includes payment for Stored Materials, it shall be accompanied by evidence as to the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in §2.7 hereof; and

(f)        Such other documentation which is in existence as the Lender shall reasonably

14

request within three (3) Business Days of receipt of Borrower’s Requisition.

Each Draw Request shall constitute a certification by the Borrower that to its knowledge all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement to such Advance, including, without limitation, §11, have been satisfied on the date of such Draw Request. Lender shall advance more for one particular category or line item than is reflected in the Project Budget for such category or line item and less for another category or line item than is reflected in the Project Budget for such category or line item so long as the total amount of the Project Budget does not change as a result in accordance with § 2.5(b) hereof.

3.2       Notice and Frequency of Advances. Each Draw Request shall be submitted to the Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Advance, and no more frequently than once each month. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of any deficiencies in a Draw Request and any failure to notify of such deficiencies within five (5) Business days of receipt shall be deemed approval of the same. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any failure by Lender to notify Borrower of any such deficiencies within the specified time shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to object to such approval at a later time.

3.3       Deposit of Funds Advanced. The Borrower shall open and maintain a non-interest bearing loan checking account with the Lender (the “Operating Account”). Except as otherwise provided for in §3.4, the Lender shall deposit the proceeds of each Advance into the Operating Account within five (5) Business Days of a complete Draw Request.

3.4       Advances to Contractor, to Others, or in Escrow. At its option, but only after an Event of Default that is continuous, the Lender may but without any obligation to do such, make any or all Advances (a) for Direct Costs incurred under the Construction Contract directly to Contractor for deposit in an appropriately designated special bank account, (b) through the Title Insurance Company, (c) to any Person to whom the Lender in good faith determines payment is due, or (d) in escrow as more fully provided in the immediately following paragraph. Any portion of the Loan so disbursed by the Lender shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Lender makes such disbursement and all such advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of the Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the Security Deed and the other Security Documents as fully as if made directly to the Borrower. The execution of this Agreement by the Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization to so advance the proceeds of the Loan. No further authorization from the Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such advances.

The Borrower acknowledges the existence of Hedging Contracts and corresponding Hedging Obligations thereunder as more fully described in the Note. The effectiveness of the Hedging Contracts depends in part upon the proper implementation of the Disbursement Schedule. If during the term of this Agreement Borrower makes a Draw Request for an Advance less than the amount specified for such quarter on the Disbursement Schedule, then the amount of the Draw Request shall be disbursed as provided in Section 3.3 above (absent an Event of Default that is then continuing), and the difference between the amount of the Draw Request and the amount so specified on the Disbursement Schedule shall be deposited by the Lender into an interest bearing escrow account (the “Advance Escrow Account”) to be applied by the Lender against future Draw Requests. The amounts placed in the Advance Escrow Account (or any

15

portion thereof), plus accrued interest on the portion to be disbursed, shall be disbursed to Borrower by Lender upon receipt of a Draw Request evidencing expenditures of Project Costs by Borrower for which an Advance has not previously been made hereunder.

If during the term of this Agreement Borrower makes a Draw Request for an Advance which is more than the amount specified for such quarter on the Disbursement Schedule, then the entire Draw Request shall be disbursed as in Section 3.3 above (absent an Event of Default that is then continuing), and Borrower acknowledges that that portion of the Draw Request in excess of the amount specified on the Disbursement Schedule shall accrue interest under the Note without effect being given by the Hedge Contract(s).

If an Event of Default is continuing at the time a Draw Request is funded, then the greater of (a) the Draw Request, or (b) the amount scheduled to be advanced as shown on the Disbursement Schedule shall be advanced and deposited by the Lender into the Advance Escrow Account to fund future Draw Requests if, as and when the Event of Default(s) are cured.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing which may be construed to the contrary, all advances described in this Section 3.4 shall be treated as Advances for all purposes contained in the Note, this Agreement, and to the extent applicable, the other Loan Documents.

3.5       Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No Advance made by the Lender shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions to the Lender’s obligation to make further Advances nor any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, nor, in the event the Borrower fails to satisfy any such condition, shall any such Advance have the effect of precluding the Lender from thereafter declaring such failure to satisfy a condition to be an Event of Default.

3.6       Right to Retain the Construction Inspector.

(a)       The Lender shall retain, at the Borrower’s cost and expense (provided the same are commercially reasonable), the Construction Inspector to perform various services on behalf of the Lender, including, without limitation, to review the Project Budget and the Plans and Specifications, to make periodic inspections of the Project (near the date of each Draw Request) for the purpose of assuring that construction of the Improvements to date is substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, to advise the Lender of the anticipated cost of and time for completion of construction of the Improvements and the adequacy of any Contingency Reserve and to review the Construction Contract and Key Contracts.

(b)       The reasonable fees of the Construction Inspector shall be paid by the Borrower within thirty (30) days of billing therefor and expenses incurred by the Lender on account thereof shall be reimbursed to the Lender by the Borrower within thirty (30) days of request therefor.

(c)       Neither the Lender nor the Construction Inspector shall have any liability to the Borrower on account of (i) the services performed by the Construction Inspector, (ii) any neglect or failure on the part of the Construction Inspector to properly perform its services, or (iii) any approval by the Construction Inspector of the construction of the Improvements. Neither the

16

Lender nor the Construction Inspector assumes any obligation to the Borrower or any other Person concerning the quality of construction of the Improvements or the absence therefrom of defects.

4.         THE NOTE, INTEREST RATE OPTIONS, REPAYMENT OF LOAN.

4.1       The Note. The obligation of the Borrower to pay the Loan Amount or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances made by the Lender hereunder plus accrued interest thereon, shall be evidenced by the Commercial Real Estate Promissory Note. In the event the Note is lost, destroyed or mutilated at any time prior to payment in full of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, the Borrower shall execute a new note in the form of the Note provided Lender delivers a “lost note” affidavit to Borrower indemnifying and defending Borrower with respect to any claims arising out of the original Note. The Note shall not be necessary to establish the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender on account of Advances made under this Agreement, and the Lender may, with the Borrowers consent, rely on the Record.

4.2       The Record. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Advance or at the time of receipt of any payment of the principal of the Note, an appropriate notation on the Lender’s Record reflecting the making of such Advance or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loan set forth on the Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Note to make payments of principal or interest on the Note when due. Further, the outstanding amount of the Loan as reflected on the Record from time to time shall be considered correct and binding on the Borrower unless the Borrower shall notify the Lender to the contrary.

4.3       Interest on the Loan. The Loan shall bear interest at the interest rates, and such interest shall be payable, as set forth in the Note.

4.4       Default Interest/Late Charge.

(a)       Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the Lender’s option, the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate provided in the Note until such Event of Default is cured.

(b)       In addition to other charges described in the Loan Documents, and without derogating from the right of the Lender to accelerate the Obligations upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a late charge provided in the Note.

4.5       Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay the Note before the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Note.

17

4.6       Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all principal of the Loan outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

5.         COMMITMENT AND APPRAISAL FEES; PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS.

(b)       All payments by the Borrower under the Note and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding.

5.3       Charges Against Loan Checking Account. The Lender shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender, to charge the Borrower’s designated Operating Account maintained with the Lender without the further approval of the Borrower, for any regular installment of interest or principal due under the Note. The Borrower shall at all times maintain and keep collected balances in the Operating Account sufficient in amount to satisfy the foregoing obligations on the respective due dates thereof.
