ARTICLE 5
INTEREST

5.1                               Interest Rate.

(a)                                 The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. Except as expressly provided herein, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”. For the disbursement of the Loan, Borrowers acting through the Authorized Representative, shall deliver to Lender irrevocable notice (which may be (i) verbal notice provided that Borrowers deliver to Lender facsimile confirmation within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice or (ii) electronic mail notice within twenty four (24) hours of such verbal notice) by not later than 11:00 a.m. Brooklyn, Ohio, time on the third LIBOR Business Day prior to the desired date of disbursement. Borrowers shall pay interest in arrears on the first (1st) day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrowers’ account only if received by 12:00 noon Brooklyn, Ohio, time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

(b)                                 If Lender determines in its reasonable discretion (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the Loan for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii)

28

that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrowers and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (or such lower rate as required by applicable law) until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided, at which time the Loan shall again accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

(c)                                  Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.

(d)                                 Borrowers shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lender within ten (10) days after written demand.

(e)                                  If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the accrual of interest on the Loan at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Lender shall notify Borrowers that Lender is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Base Rate, and (3) Borrowers shall pay to Lender the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, the Loan shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Base Rate until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be, avoided, at which time the Loan shall again accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

(f)                                   The Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate upon Lender’s election at any time at which an Event of Default shall exist.

5.2                               Interest Rate Agreement.

(g)                                  Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate Agreement entered into by Borrowers and Lender shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by the applicable Note, guaranteed by the Guaranties, and secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and effect as if the terms and provisions of such Interest Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or not the aggregate of such indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lender of the proceeds of the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note.

29

(h)                                 Each Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to Lender for the benefit of Lender any and all Interest Rate Protection Products purchased or to be purchased by such Borrower in connection with the Loan, as additional security for the Loan, and agrees to provide Lender with any additional documentation requested by Lender in order to confirm or perfect such security interest during the term of the Loan. If any Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other than Lender, such Borrower shall deliver to Lender such third party’s consent to such collateral assignment. No Interest Rate Protection Product purchased from a third party may be secured by an interest in any such Borrower or any Project.

(i)                                     In the event any Borrower desires to institute an interest rate hedging program through the purchase of an Interest Rate Protection Product with respect to the Loan, such Borrower shall afford Lender a right of first opportunity to provide all Interest Rate Protection Products but shall not be required to purchase such Interest Rate Protection Product from Lender.

ARTICLE 6
COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN

6.1                               Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.

(a)                                 Borrowers recognize that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrowers agree to pay Lender additional amounts to compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrowers as a result of:

(i)                                     any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of; credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or (C) imposing on Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by Lender under the Loan Documents; or

(ii)                                  the maintenance by Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).

(b)                                 If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled

30

“International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives under or issued in connection therewith, regardless of when adopted, promulgated or issued, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.

(c)                                  Any amount payable by Borrowers under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrowers prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Lender to so notify Borrowers shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.  Lender agrees not to seek compensation from Borrowers pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 6.1 unless Lender is generally seeking similar compensation from other borrowers of Lender in connection with comparable types of financings.

6.2                               Borrower Withholding.  If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, Borrowers are required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Note, the sum due from Borrowers in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

ARTICLE 10
BORROWERS’ AGREEMENTS

10.1                        Additional Covenants of Borrowers.  Each Borrower further covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)                                 Opening of Loan on or Prior to Loan Opening Date.  All conditions precedent to the Opening of the Loan shall be complied with on or prior to the Loan Opening Date. If such conditions are not complied with as of the Loan Opening Date, Lender may at its sole option terminate Lender’s obligation to fund the Loan by written notice to Borrowers and Parent.

(b)                                 Inspection by Lender.  Provided the subject Borrower is given forty-eight (48) hours advance written notice (which notice shall not be required during the existence of any Event of Default) and subject to such inspection not unreasonably interfering with the business operations of Borrowers, Borrowers will cooperate with Lender in arranging for inspections by representatives of Lender at reasonable times from time to time including an examination of (i) the Projects, (ii) all books, contracts and records with respect to the Projects, and (iii) any other documents relating to the Projects. Lender’s inspection rights shall not pertain to any records which are subject to the privacy protections of HIPAA or any related privacy or patient care laws.

(c)                                  Mechanics’ Liens and Contest Thereof.  Borrowers will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against any of the Projects, and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim upon furnishing to the Title Insurer such security or indemnity as it may require to induce said Title Insurer to issue an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against all such claims or liens; and provided further, that the aggregate amount of liens so insured against at any time shall not exceed $50,000 for any Project without Lender’s prior written consent.

(d)                                 Settlement of Mechanics’ Lien Claims.  If any Borrower shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) to contest claims asserted and give security or indemnity in the manner provided in subsection (c) of this Section, or having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security or indemnity, shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or to maintain such indemnity or security so required by the Title Insurer for its full amount, or upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then and in any such event Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

38

(e)                                  Renewal of Insurance.  Borrowers shall cause insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit E at all times. Borrowers shall timely pay all premiums on all insurance policies required hereunder as and when any policies of insurance may expire, furnish to Lender, premiums prepaid, additional and renewal insurance policies with companies, coverage and in amounts satisfactory to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c).

(f)                                   Payment of Taxes.  Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, all real estate and personal property taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Projects before the same become delinquent; provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of any Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrowers has notified Lender of its intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrowers have deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, and has increased the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Lender’s request therefor. If Borrowers fail to commence such contest or, having commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security required by Lender for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment or charge, Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Lender (other than from cash collateral posted by Borrowers as aforesaid, which each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to apply to the payment of such taxes, assessments and charges) shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder, even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note. Borrowers shall furnish to Lender evidence that taxes are paid within five (5) Business Days after the payment thereof (and other than with respect to any taxes being contested in the manner described in the foregoing provisions of this subsection (f), in any event on or prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest).

(g)                                  Escrow Accounts.  Borrowers shall make tax escrow deposits (and, if an Event of Default then exists, upon the written request of Lender, insurance deposits), in amounts reasonably determined by Lender from time to time as being needed to pay taxes (and, if applicable, insurance premiums) for deposit in the applicable Borrower’s Impound Account, as provided in Section 4 of the Mortgages.  All payments deposited in the Impound Accounts are pledged as additional collateral for the Obligations.  Notwithstanding Lender’s holding of the Impound Accounts, nothing herein shall obligate Lender to pay any real property taxes or insurance premiums with respect to any Project or any portion thereof, provided that, so long as no Event of Default exists, Lender shall make available to Borrowers such funds as may be deposited in their respective Impound Accounts from time to time for Borrowers’ payment of real property taxes (or insurance premiums, if applicable) due with respect to the Projects.

(h)                                 Personal Property.  All personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment of each Borrower delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the operation of its Project shall always be located at such Project and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests; however, Lender acknowledges that all property owned by residents of such Project is expressly excluded.

39

(i)                                     Leasing Restrictions.  Without the prior written consent of Lender, no Borrower or its agents shall lease or sublease space in the Improvements other than (1) in the case of PropCo’s, the Facility Leases, and (ii) in the case of Tenants, other than occupancy agreements pursuant to the standard form of residency agreements previously approved by Lender, with no material deviations from the standard form except as approved by Lender (“Residency Agreements”). Borrowers shall submit to Lender for its review the standard form of residency agreement proposed for the Improvements and any revisions to the form from time to time, which form as so revised must have the prior written approval of Lender and must contain mortgagee protection provisions acceptable to Lender. Any material change from the approved mortgagee protection provisions in the standard form residency agreement, or the inclusion of any provision permitting set-off by the resident, shall be considered a material deviation requiring the approval of Lender, except in the ordinary course of Borrowers’ business operations. If any Lease fails to meet all of the foregoing requirements, then the Lease is subject to Lender’s approval, and Lender shall respond by approving or disapproving the Lease within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the copy from Borrowers. Lender’s failure to approve or disapprove the proposed Lease within that period shall constitute approval of the Lease.  Absent Lender’s express written agreement to the contrary, Lender’s approval of any Lease shall be limited to the specific Lease in question, and such approval shall not operate or be construed as approval of any other Lease (whether similar or otherwise).  Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with Lender’s review and approval of tenant Leases, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

(j)                                    Defaults Under Leases.  Borrowers will not suffer or permit any breach or default to occur in any of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Leases nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of any of Borrowers to meet any requirement of any Lease, which default or failure could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(k)                                 Lender’s Attorneys’ Fees for Enforcement of Agreement and Other Loan Documents.  In case of any default or Event of Default hereunder, Borrower (in addition to Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section 7.3) will pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees (including, without limitation, any attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in connection with any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice or other representation with respect to the Projects, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any or all of the Projects, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any Project or any portion thereof, or to enforce any rights of Lender or any Borrowers’ obligations hereunder, then in any of such events all of the attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall constitute an additional liability owing by Borrowers to Lender, on a joint and several basis, payable on demand.

(l)                                     Appraisals.  Lender shall have the right, at Borrowers’ expense, to obtain new or updated Appraisals of the Projects from time to time.  With respect to any new or updated Appraisals obtained by Lender (i) in connection with any proposed release or releases of one or

40

more Projects, (ii) in connection with exercise of the Extension Option, (iii) to comply with this Agreement or any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank policy promulgated to comply therewith, or (iv) if an Event of Default then exists, Borrowers shall pay for any such Appraisal upon Lender’s request.  Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender in connection with all such appraisals, whether or not Borrowers shall be obligated for the cost thereof.

(o)                                 INDEMNIFICATION.           EACH BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE OF LENDER AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLDS EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT, INSOFAR AS SUCH LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR FROM ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of Section 11.1(b) below, Lender may elect to collect, retain and apply to the Obligations all proceeds of insurance or condemnation (individually and collectively referred to as “Proceeds”) after deduction of all reasonable expenses of collection and settlement, including attorneys’ and adjusters’ fees and charges. Any proceeds remaining after repayment of the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall be paid by Lender to the applicable Borrowers.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1(a) to the contrary, in the event of any casualty to the Improvements or any condemnation of part of any of the Projects, Lender agrees to make available the Proceeds to restoration of such Improvements if (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) all Proceeds are deposited with Lender, (iii) in Lender’s reasonable judgment, the amount of Proceeds available for restoration of the Improvements is sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv) if the cost of restoration exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount under the Note for such Project, in Lender’s sole determination after completion of restoration the Loan Amount will not exceed seventy percent (70%) of the “as

46

stabilized” value of such Project, (v) in Lender’s reasonable determination, such Project can be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance with applicable Laws, (vi) each Guarantor reaffirms its Guaranty in writing, and (vii) in Lender’s reasonable determination, such restoration is likely to be completed not later than three months prior to the Final Maturity Date.

11.2                        Borrowers’ Obligation to Rebuild and Use of Proceeds Therefor.  In case Lender does not elect to apply or does not have the right to apply the Proceeds to the indebtedness, as provided in Section 11.1 above, Borrowers shall:

(a)                                 Proceed with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental authorities and cause the Proceeds to be deposited with Lender;

(b)                                 In the event of any material delay in making settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental authorities or effecting collection of the Proceeds, deposit with Lender the full amount required to complete construction as aforesaid;

(c)                                  In the event the Proceeds are insufficient to assure the Lender that the Loan will be in balance (i.e., the outstanding principal thereof does not exceed seventy percent (70%) of the “as stabilized” value of the Projects based on the most recent Appraisals received by Lender), promptly deposit with Lender any amount necessary to place the Loan in balance; and To the extent reasonably practicable, promptly proceed with the assumption of construction of such Improvements, including the repair of all damage resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and restoration to its former condition.

Any request by Borrowers for a disbursement by Lender of Proceeds and funds deposited by Borrowers shall be treated by Lender as if such request were for an advance of the Loan hereunder, and the disbursement thereof shall be conditioned upon Borrowers’ compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions precedent as would be applicable under this Agreement for an advance of the Loan.

ARTICLE 12
ASSIGNMENTS BY LENDER AND BORROWERS

12.1                        Assignments and Participations.  Lender may from time to time sell the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any interest therein) and may grant participations in the Loan. Borrowers agrees to cooperate with Lender’s efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith which do not materially adversely affect Borrowers’ rights under the Loan Documents.

12.2                        Prohibition of Assignments and Transfers by Borrowers.  No Borrower shall assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any purported assignment shall be void. Without the prior written consent of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrowers shall not suffer or permit (i) any change in the management (whether direct or indirect) of any Project, or (ii) the sale, transfer, lease (other than in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the standard form of residency agreement and without material deviation from the standard form previously provided by Borrowers to Lender), conveyance, alienation, pledge, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition (a “Transfer”) of (1) all or any portion of any

47

Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses Lender may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender’s sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions. The foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse obligation of each Borrower and shall survive repayment of the Note, notwithstanding any limitations on recourse contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents.

12.4.                     Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the foregoing restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in this Article 12, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(a)                                 Take possession of the Projects, or any of them, and do anything which is necessary or appropriate in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including either the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in its Project to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may, be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against such Project; to execute all applications and certificates in the name of each Borrower prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements or the Projects; to take action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any of the bonds to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction; and to do any and every act which any Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;

(b)                                 Declare the Note to be immediately due and payable;

(c)                                  Use and apply any monies or letters of credit deposited by any Borrower or Guarantor with Lender, regardless of the purposes for which the same was deposited, to cure any such default or to apply on account of any indebtedness under this Agreement which is due and owing to Lender;

(d)                                 Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Lender by operation of Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 14(h), all amounts evidenced by the Note shall automatically become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Borrowers.

16.4                        Acquiescence Not to Constitute Waiver of Lender’s Requirements.  Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lender contained in this Agreement may be waived by Lender; provided, however, that to the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any construction or nonconstruction conditions precedent to the Opening of the Loan or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds.

16.5                        Disclaimer by Lender.  This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other person or persons shall have any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, or by reason of any actions taken by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Lender shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any such parties against Borrowers or others or against the Projects. Lender, by making the Loan or taking any action pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with Borrower or fiduciary of Borrower.

16.6                        Partial Invalidity; Severability.  If any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or provisions to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16.7                        Definitions Include Amendments.  Definitions contained in this Agreement which identify documents, including, but not limited to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments, supplements and restatements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of Lender.

16.10                 Waiver of Damages.  In no event shall Lender be liable to Loan Parties for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and each Borrower for itself and Guarantors waives all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

16.11                 Claims Against Lender.  Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrowers shall have been given to Lender within three (3) months after any Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrowers allege gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Each Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which Borrowers do not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Each Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender’s ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrowers with regard to the Loan.

16.12                 Jurisdiction.  TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY LENDER.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY STATE OF OHIO OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA, STATE OF OHIO MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO SUCH BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF SUCH BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED

ARTICLE 19
NATURE OF OBLIGATIONS

19.1                        Joint and Several Obligations; Full Collateralization.
