5.6Payments Directly to Subcontractors. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, in its sole discretion, may make or cause to be made payments for the cost of construction of the Project directly to any Subcontractor or to any vendor of fixtures and equipment or jointly to Borrower and any of such parties.

5.7Construction Disbursement Account Payouts. Borrower shall maintain the Construction Disbursement Account for deposit of the proceeds of the Loan.

5.9Consultants. In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Lender shall have the right (but not the duty) to employ such consultants, including Lender’s Consultant, as it may reasonably deem appropriate from time to time, to (a) review and make recommendations regarding the Plans and Specifications, the Project Budget and the Construction Schedule, (b) inspect the Premises from time to time to insure that the same are being duly constructed and equipped as herein provided, (c) review and make recommendations regarding any elements of a request for disbursement, (d) obtain information and documentation respecting the Project, attend meetings respecting the Project and formulate reports for Lender pertaining to the Project and (e) perform such other services as Lender from time to time may require, all solely on behalf of Lender. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the reasonable costs and disbursements of such consultants shall be deemed “Loan Expenses.” Neither Lender nor any such consultants shall be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to, or be liable to, Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to any actions taken or omitted by Lender or such consultants pursuant to this Section 5.9. Notwithstanding the aforesaid or anything else provided in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall not be entitled to rely on any statements or actions of Lender’s Consultant or any of Lender’s other consultants and neither Lender’s Consultant nor any other consultant retained by Lender shall have the power or authority to grant any consents or approvals or bind Lender in any manner, absent confirmation by Lender of the accuracy of the information conveyed by such consultant to Borrower.

5.10Retainages. Disbursement of the available proceeds of the Loan shall be limited to an amount equal to the percentage thereof required by the terms of the Construction Contracts for the Material Subcontractors, but in no event shall Lender be obligated in respect of any Construction Contract for the Material Subcontractors, until final disbursement, to disburse in excess of ninety percent (90%) of the value (as determined by Lender and as certified by Lender’s Consultant), of the materials and labor incorporated in the Project from time to time pursuant to such Construction Contract for the Material Subcontractors. Lender shall disburse any remaining amounts comprising retainage under the Construction Contracts upon satisfaction of the requirements for Final Disbursement as set forth in Section 5.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Material Subcontractor refuses to enter into a Construction Contract with a retainage provision despite Borrower’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such a provision, the Lender shall waive such requirement for that particular Construction Contract as long as the amount of contingency in the Project Budget for this line item is not less than ten percent (10%) and remains at this threshold until the line item is closed out.

5.11Stored and Unincorporated Materials. No disbursement for materials purchased by Borrower but not yet installed or incorporated into the Project shall be made without Lender’s prior approval of the conditions under which such materials are purchased and stored. In no event shall any such disbursement be made unless the materials involved have been delivered to the Real Property or stored with a bonded warehouseman, with reasonably satisfactory evidence of security, insurance both during storage and transit and suitable storage.

38


concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any others:

(a)Cease any further disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan and terminate any of its obligations to Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(b)Declare the Note to be due and payable forthwith, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived;

(c)if an Event of Default under Section 12.1(h) of this Agreement shall occur, then the outstanding principal of and the accrued interest on the Note shall immediately become due and payable, without notice, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees if the collection hereof is placed in the hands of an attorney to obtain or enforce payment hereof;

(d)With or without accelerating the maturity of the Loans, Lender may sue from time to time for any amount due under any of the Loan Documents;

(e)Take possession of the Premises and complete the construction and equipping of the Project and do anything required, necessary or advisable in Lender’s sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower hereunder, including the rights to avail itself of or procure performance of existing Construction Contracts, to enter into any contracts with the same contractors, subcontractors or others and to employ watchmen to protect the Premises from injury. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender as Borrower’s lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the premises to perform the following actions:

(i)to complete construction of the Project in the name of Borrower;

(ii)to use unadvanced Loan Proceeds or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Note to complete the Project;

(iii)to make changes in the Plans and Specifications which shall be necessary to complete the Project;

(iv)to retain or employ new contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors;

(v)without inquiring into and without respect to the validity thereof, to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens, against the Real Property or any portion of the Real Property or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the construction and equipping of the Project or for the clearance of title to the Real Property;

(vi)to prosecute and defend actions or proceedings in connection with the Premises; and

(vii)to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf with respect to the Premises, it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

39


(f)exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents;

(g)seek to enforce any rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents against Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or any exercise by Lender of any right or remedy under any Loan Document or in any other Loan Document shall modify or limit any obligations or liabilities of Borrower under any Loan Document;

(h)for any reason apply for the appointment of a receiver, ex parte without notice, of the Premises (to which appointment Borrower hereby consents) without the necessity of posting a bond or other form of security (which Borrower hereby waives);

(i)In addition to any rights of set-off that Lender may have under applicable law, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time and from time to time, without notice of any kind to Borrower, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply to the payment of the Note or of any sums due under this Agreement, any Loan Document, and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Borrower to or for the credit or the account of Lender, whether or not matured, any and all balances, deposits, credits, accounts, certificates of deposit, instruments or money of Borrower then or thereafter in the possession of Lender; and

(j)Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted at law, in equity, by statute or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, foreclosure of the Deed of Trust and enforcement of all Loan Documents and all of Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive to the extent permitted by law.

13.2Right of Lender to Make Advances to Cure Event of Defaults; Obligatory Advances. If Borrower shall fail to perform any of its covenants or agreements herein, or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements, and any amounts expended by Lender in so doing, and any amounts expended by Lender pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof and any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed advanced by Lender under an obligation to do so regardless of the identity of the Person or Persons to whom said funds are disbursed. Loan Proceeds advanced by Lender in the exercise of its judgment that the same are needed to complete the Project to protect its security for the Loan are obligatory advances hereunder and shall constitute additional indebtedness payable on demand and evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

13.3No Waiver. No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any right or remedy provided at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case, in itself, shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

40


13.4Default Rate. From and after the date of any Event of Default until the date on which such Event of Default is cured, interest on funds outstanding hereunder shall accrue at the Default Rate and be payable on demand. The failure of Lender to charge interest at the Default Rate shall not be evidence of the absence of an Event of Default or waiver of an Event of Default by Lender.

13.5Right of Lender to Take Control of the Metropolitan District. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an uncured Event of Default, after the expiration of any notice and cure periods, under any of Sections 12.1(a), 12.1(h), 12.1(j), 12.1(k), 12.1(o) or 12.1(p) and provided Lender is exercising, at a minimum, its remedies under Sections 13.1(a), 13.1(b) and 13.1(h) then Lender (a) is authorized to date the Resignations, and the Resignations will be effective as of such date without any further action or notice, and (b) may appoint such persons as it desires to act as the new Directors of the Board of Directors and Borrower covenants and agrees to assist Lender in reconstituting the Board of Directors.

14.4No Waiver.

If any provision of this Agreement, or any paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word, or the application thereof, in any circumstances, is

All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.
