ARTICLE X
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
     Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, at any time thereafter exercise any one or more of the following rights, powers or remedies.
     Section 10.1 Acceleration.
     Lender may declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents to the contrary, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or of dishonor, or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby waives.
     Section 10.2 Uniform Commercial Code.
     Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws. Upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender, at a place designated by Lender. Lender or its agents may without notice from time to time enter upon Borrower’s premises to take possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, to process it or otherwise prepare it for sale, or to sell or otherwise dispose of it.
     Any written notice of the sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral which is sent by regular mail, postage prepaid, to Borrower at the address set

37


 

forth in Section 11.1 (Notices), or such other address of Borrower which may from time to time be shown on Lender’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale, disposition or other action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. Lender may alternatively or additionally give such notice in any other commercially reasonable manner. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Lender to give any notice not required by applicable Laws.
     If any consent, approval, or authorization of any state, municipal or other Governmental Authority or of any other Person or of any Person having any interest therein, should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, Borrower agrees to execute all such applications and other instruments, and to take all other action, as may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization.
     Borrower recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable Federal and state Laws. Lender may, therefore, in its discretion, take such steps as it may deem appropriate to comply with such Laws and may, for example, at any sale of the Collateral consisting of securities restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction of Lender that they are purchasing such securities for their account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any thereof. Borrower covenants and agrees to do or cause to be done promptly all such acts and things as Lender may request from time to time and as may be necessary to offer and/or sell the securities or any part thereof in a manner which is valid and binding and in conformance with all applicable Laws. Upon any such sale or disposition, Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral consisting of securities so sold.
     Section 10.3 Specific Rights With Regard to Collateral.
     In addition to all other rights and remedies provided hereunder or as shall exist at law or in equity from time to time, Lender may (but shall be under no obligation to), without notice to Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, in the name of Lender and/or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Lender, but at the cost and expense of Borrower and without notice to Borrower:
          (a) assign any and all Operating Agreements and Management Contracts to any Person designated by Lender, and/or exercise all rights and privileges of Borrower under such contracts and agreements for the purpose of realizing on the Collateral and to the extent and for the time required to realize the value of the Collateral;
          (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, assume such management, operation and control of the Property to the extent and for the time necessary to realize the value of the Collateral;
          (c) cause Borrower to engage, contract with, and/or hire qualified service, billing, collection and other such agents, organizations and

38


 

          companies acceptable to Lender to collect and/or realize upon any or all of the Collateral and to remit the proceeds to Lender;
          (d) subject to applicable state and federal laws pertaining to resident confidentiality, request any Account Debtor obligated on any of the Accounts to make payments thereon directly to Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with Lender taking control of the cash and non-cash proceeds thereof and/or direct Borrower to (and Borrower shall) turn over to Lender immediately following receipt all payments with respect to the Collateral in the form received (with the addition of all necessary endorsements) and not to deposit, negotiate or otherwise deal with those payments;
          (e) compromise, extend or renew any of the Collateral or deal with the same as it may deem advisable;
          (f) make exchanges, substitutions or surrenders of all or any part of the Collateral;
          (g) remove from Borrower’s places of business all books, records, ledger sheets, correspondence, invoices and documents, relating to or evidencing any of the Collateral or without cost or expense to Lender, make such use of Borrower’s place of business as may be reasonably necessary to administer, control and collect the Collateral;
          (h) demand, collect, receipt for and give renewals, extensions, discharges and releases of any of the Collateral;
          (i) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral;
          (j) settle, renew, extend, compromise, compound, exchange or adjust claims in respect of any of the Collateral or any legal proceedings brought in respect thereof;
          (k) endorse the name of Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or on any Proof of Claim in Bankruptcy against an Account Debtor; and
          (l) notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to Borrower to such address or Post Office Box as Lender may designate and receive and open all mail addressed to Borrower.
     In addition, Borrower shall, following an Event of Default which remains uncured beyond any applicable grace period, promptly, upon request, execute and deliver to Lender written assignments, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in form and content acceptable to Lender, of specific Accounts or groups of Accounts; provided, however, that the lien and/or security interest granted to Lender under this Agreement shall not be limited in any way to or by the inclusion or exclusion of Accounts within such assignments. Such Accounts shall secure

39


 

payment of the Obligations and are not sold to Lender whether or not any assignment thereof, which is separate from this Agreement, is in form absolute.
     Without limiting Lender’s other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, following Borrower’s failure to make any payment due under the Loan Documents, which failure continues for more than sixty (60) days or the occurrence of any event which causes the District of Columbia to require the Facility to close or to cease operations as an assisted living facility, Lender may also direct Borrower to appoint a manager for the Facility and enter into a management agreement with a management company approved by Lender, the terms of which agreement shall be approved by Lender.
     Section 10.4 Application of Proceeds.
     Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by Lender to the payment first of any and all Enforcement Costs, and any balance of such proceeds will be applied in such order and manner as Lender shall determine. If the sale or other disposition of the Collateral fails to fully satisfy the Obligations, Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency.
     Section 10.5 Performance by Lender.
     Lender without notice to or demand upon Borrower and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any Default or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower, and may enter upon the premises of Borrower for that purpose and take all such action thereon as Lender may consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to do so, with power of substitution, in the name of Lender, or in the name of Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Lender, but at the cost and expense of Borrower and without notice to Borrower. All sums so paid or advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date of payment, advance or incurring until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate and all costs and expenses, shall be deemed part of the Enforcement Costs, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on demand, and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations.
     Section 10.6 Other Remedies.
     Lender may from time to time proceed to protect or enforce the rights of Lender by an action or actions at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents, or for an injunction against the violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, or in aid of the exercise or execution of any right, remedy or power granted in this Agreement, the Financing Documents, and/or applicable Laws. Lender is authorized to offset and apply to all or any part of the Obligations all moneys, credits and other property of any nature whatsoever of Borrower now or at any time hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or from, under the control or custody of, or on deposit with Lender or any Affiliate of Lender.

40


 

     Section 10.7 Receiver or Other Court Order.
     Following an uncured Event of Default, as a matter of right, following ten (10) days notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security, and upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, Lender shall be entitled to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Collateral, and of the payments and proceeds thereof and therefrom, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or otherwise, and Borrower hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver and to an order of court directing that payments, including Medicare and Medicaid payments, be made directly to the receiver. Borrower will pay to Lender, upon demand, all expenses, including reasonable receiver’s fees, reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and agents compensation, advanced by Borrower and incurred pursuant to the provisions contained in this Section.

     Section 11.2 Amendments; Waivers.
     This Agreement and the other Financing Documents may not be amended, modified, or changed in any respect except by an agreement in writing signed by Lender and Borrower. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by Lender. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender and no act or failure to act from time to time on the part of Lender shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents or any right or remedy under this Agreement, under any of the other Financing Documents or under applicable Laws. Without implying any limitation on the foregoing:
          (a) Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, for the terms and purpose for which given, subject to such conditions as Lender may specify in any such instrument.
          (b) No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereto.
          (c) No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.
          (d) No failure or delay by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any such term, condition, covenant or agreement or of any such breach or preclude Lender from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any time or times.
          (e) By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount.

42


 

     Section 11.3 Cumulative Remedies.
     The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the other Financing Documents are cumulative, may be exercised concurrently or separately, may be exercised from time to time and in such order as Lender shall determine, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers and remedies provided by existing or future applicable Laws. In order to entitle Lender to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be expressly required in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lender may:
          (a) proceed against Borrower with or without proceeding against any other Person (including, without limitation, any one or more of the Guarantors) who may be liable (by endorsement, guaranty, indemnity or otherwise) for all or any part of the Obligations;
          (b) proceed against Borrower with or without proceeding under any of the other Financing Documents or against any Collateral or other collateral and security for all or any part of the Obligations;
          (c) without reducing or impairing the obligation of Borrower and without notice, release or compromise with any guarantor or other Person liable for all or any part of the Obligations under the Financing Documents or otherwise;
          (a) without reducing or impairing the obligations of Borrower and without notice thereof:
          (i) fail to perfect the Lien in any or all Collateral or to release any or all the Collateral or to accept substitute Collateral;
          (ii) approve the making of advances under the Revolving Loan under this Agreement;
          (iii) waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents;
          (iv) exercise or fail to exercise rights of set-off or other rights; or
          (v) accept partial payments or extend from time to time the maturity of all or any part of the Obligations.
     Section 11.4 Severability.
     In case one or more provisions, or part thereof, contained in this Agreement or in the other Financing Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Law, then without need for any further agreement, notice or action:

43


 

          (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto and shall not be affected or impaired thereby;
          (b) the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity;
          (c) if such provision or part thereof pertains to repayment of the Obligations, then, at the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, all of the Obligations of Borrower to Lender shall become immediately due and payable; and
          (d) if the affected provision or part thereof does not pertain to repayment of the Obligations, but operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such provision or part thereof only shall be void, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
     Section 11.5 Assignments by Lender.
     Lender may, without notice to or consent of Borrower, assign to any Person (each an “Assignee” and collectively, the “Assignees”) all or a portion of Lender’s Commitment; provided that, unless Lender has assigned all of its Commitment, after giving effect to such assignment, Lender must continue to hold a Pro Rata Share of the Commitment at least equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Lender and its Assignee shall notify Borrower in writing of the date on which the assignment is to be effective (the “Adjustment Date”). On or before the Adjustment Date, Lender, Borrower and the respective Assignee shall execute and deliver a written assignment agreement in a form acceptable to Lender, which shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect such assignment. Upon the request of Lender following an assignment made in accordance with this Section 11.5, Borrower shall issue new Notes to Lender and its Assignee reflecting such assignment, in exchange for the existing Note held by Lender.
     In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of Lender’s rights under this Agreement, the Commitment or any of the Obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.
     Section 11.6 Participations by Lender.
     Lender may at any time sell to one or more financial institutions participating interests in any of Lender’s Obligations or Commitment; provided, however, that (a) no such participation shall relieve Lender from its obligations under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, (b) Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and under all of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, and (c) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

44


 

     Section 11.7 Disclosure of Information by Lender.
     In connection with any sale, transfer, assignment or participation by Lender in accordance with Section 11.5 (Assignments by Lender) or Section 11.6 (Participations by Lender), Lender shall have the right to disclose to any actual or potential purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant all financial records, information, reports, financial statements and documents obtained in connection with this Agreement and/or any of the other Financing Documents or otherwise.
     Section 11.8 Successors and Assigns.
     This Agreement and all other Financing Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, except that Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Lender.
     Section 11.9 Continuing Agreements.
     All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in this Agreement, in any of the other Financing Documents, and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery of the Notes, shall be binding upon Borrower regardless of how long before or after the date hereof any of the Obligations were or are incurred, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid. From time to time upon Lender’s request, and as a condition of the release of any one or more of the Security Documents, Borrower and other Persons obligated with respect to the Obligations shall provide Lender with such acknowledgments and agreements as Lender may require to the effect that there exists no defenses, rights of setoff or recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against Lender, and/or any of its agents and others, or to the extent there are, the same are waived and released.
     Section 11.10 Enforcement Costs.
     Borrower agrees to pay to Lender on demand all Enforcement Costs, together with interest thereon from the date incurred or advanced until paid in full at a per annum rate of interest equal at all times to the Post-Default Rate. Enforcement Costs shall be immediately due and payable at the time Borrower received notice that Enforcement Costs have been advanced or incurred, whichever is earlier. Without implying any limitation on the foregoing, Borrower agrees, as part of the Enforcement Costs, to pay upon demand any and all stamp and other Taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to save Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay any Taxes or fees referred to in this Section. The provisions of this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of the other Obligations and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

               11.11.1 Applicable Law.
               Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Financing Documents, including, this Agreement, shall be governed by the Laws of the State, as if each of the Financing Documents and this Agreement had each been executed, delivered, administered and performed solely within the State even though for the convenience and at the request of Borrower, one or more of the Financing Documents may be executed elsewhere. Lender acknowledges, however, that remedies under certain of the Financing Documents that relate to property outside the State may be subject to the laws of the state in which the property is located.
               11.11.2 Submission to Jurisdiction.
               Borrower irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents. Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which Borrower is subject to jurisdiction, by a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon Borrower in one of the manners specified in this Section or as otherwise permitted by applicable Laws.
               11.11.3 Appointment of Agent for Service of Process.
               Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints CT Corporation, 4701 Cox Road, Suite 301, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060, as Borrower’s authorized agent to receive on Borrower’s behalf service of any and all process that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this Section in any state or federal court sitting in the State. If such agent shall cease so to act, Borrower shall irrevocably designate and appoint without delay another such agent in the State satisfactory to Lender and shall promptly deliver to Lender evidence in writing of such other agent’s acceptance of such appointment and its agreement that such appointment shall be irrevocable.
               11.11.4 Service of Process.
               Borrower hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this Section by (a) the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Borrower at Borrower’s address designated in or pursuant to Section 11.1 (Notices), and (b) serving a copy thereof upon Lender, if any, designated and appointed by Borrower as Borrower’s agent for service of process by or pursuant to this Section. Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service (y) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (z) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon Borrower. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law or limit the right of Lender otherwise to bring proceedings against Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

46


 

     Section 11.12 Duplicate Originals and Counterparts.
     This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or counterparts, each of such duplicate originals or counterparts shall be deemed to be an original and all taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
     Section 11.13 Headings.

     Section 11.14 No Agency.
     Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Borrower as agent of Lender for any purpose whatsoever or to permit Borrower to pledge any of the credit of Lender. Lender shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Lenders shall not, by anything herein or in any of the Financing Documents or otherwise, assume any of Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Lender, and Lender shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by Borrower of any of the terms and conditions thereof.
     Section 11.15 Date of Payment.
     Should the principal of or interest on the Notes become due and payable on other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate per annum specified in the Notes during such extension.
     Section 11.16 Entire Agreement.
     This Agreement is intended by Lender and Borrower to be a complete, exclusive and final expression of the agreements contained herein. Neither Lender nor Borrower shall hereafter have any rights under any prior agreements pertaining to the matters addressed by this Agreement but shall look solely to this Agreement for definition and determination of all of their respective rights, liabilities and responsibilities under this Agreement.

     By inspecting the Collateral or any other properties of Borrower or by accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Borrower or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the condition, sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, and such acceptance or approval shall not constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Lender.
     Section 11.19 Indemnification.
     Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, Lender, the parent and Affiliates of Lender and the respective parent’s and Affiliates’ officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any litigation), including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs and costs of investigation, document production, attendance at depositions or other discovery, incurred by any Indemnified Party with respect to, arising out of or as a consequence of (a) this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, including without limitation, any failure of Borrower to pay when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, fee or any other amount due under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, or any other Event of Default; (b) the use by Borrower of any proceeds advanced hereunder; (c) the transactions contemplated hereunder; or (d) any claim, demand, action or cause of action being asserted against (i) Borrower or any of its Affiliates by any other Person, or (ii) any Indemnified Party by Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party from any liability, loss or damage resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful actions of such Indemnified Party.

DEED OF TRUST NOTE B
     
$                                           McLean, Virginia
     
                                            ,                     
     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SUNRISE CONNECTICUT AVENUE ASSISTED LIVING, L.L.C., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of C                    , a                    , its successors and assigns (the “Lender”), the principal sum of                      ($                     ) (the “Principal Sum”), together with interest thereon at the rate hereinafter provided, in accordance with the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the following:
     1. Interest.
     Commencing as of the date hereof and continuing until repayment in full of all sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating rate based on an independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates for one-month dollar deposits in the London Market as reported in The Wall Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 225 basis points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”) which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements imposed upon the Lender from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of each month. All interest payable under the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The LIBOR Rate shall be in effect for a period of the number of days indicated (each a “LIBOR Period”), in any case extended to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith) when necessary, beginning on the date hereof or the expiration date of the then-current LIBOR Period.
     2. Payments and Maturity.
     The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate provided above, shall be payable as follows:
          (a) Interest only commencing on                      ,                      and continuing on the same day of each and every month thereafter, to and including                     ,                     ;
          (b) Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on August 29, 2009.

     3. Default Interest.
     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest thereafter until such Event of Default is cured at the Post Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
     4. Late Charges.
     In the event that any payment due under the terms of this Note is not received by the Lender within fifteen (15) days of the date such payment is due (inclusive of the date when due), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment.
     5. Application and Place of Payments.
     All payments made on account of this Note, including prepayments, shall be applied first to the payment of any prepayment fee due hereunder, second to any late charge then due hereunder, third to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest then due hereunder, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the unpaid Principal Sum, with application first made to all principal installments then due hereunder, next to the outstanding principal balance due at maturity and thereafter to the unpaid principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. All payments on account of this Note shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds during regular business hours of the Lender at its principal office in Chevy Chase, Maryland or at such other times and places as the Lender may at any time and from time to time designate in writing to the Borrower.
     6. Prepayment.
          (a) The Borrower may prepay the Principal Sum in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Lender, without premium or penalty.
          (b) Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note in whole or in part subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be deemed to be a prepayment of the Principal Sum subject to any prepayment fee due hereunder.
     7. Other Financing Documents.
     The term “Financing Documents” as used in this Note shall mean collectively this Note, the Deed of Trust (as hereinafter defined) and any other instrument, agreement, or document previously, simultaneously, or hereafter executed and delivered by the Borrower and/or any other person, singularly or jointly with any other person, evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or in connection with this Note or the Principal Sum evidenced hereby.
     8. Security.

     11. Consent to Jurisdiction.
     The Borrower irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which the Borrower is subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon the Borrower as provided in this Note or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
