(d) INTEREST RESERVE ADVANCES. Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that the sum of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) of
the Loan as specified or to be specified in the Approved Budget
represents a reserve for the payment of interest upon the full amount of
the Advances of the Loan (the "INTEREST RESERVE") pursuant to this Loan
Agreement. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, and Lender shall have the
right, to disburse and charge (or cause to be disbursed and charged) the
Interest Reserve in reimbursement of Borrower for the interest payments
made by Borrower under this Loan Agreement and the other Security
Documents on each interest payment date as such interest payments become
due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Note. Such
disbursements shall be made as Advances of the Loan, in amounts equal to
the accrued interest which has been paid on each of such interest
payment dates. Interest as provided in the Note will be charged on any
disbursed portion of the Interest Reserve as and when disbursed, but
interest will not be charged on the undisbursed portion of the Interest
Reserve. If, at any time during the term of the Loan, the Interest
Reserve shall become depleted or shall be deemed by Lender to be
insufficient to reimburse Borrower for the interest payments on the Loan
as they are made, interest shall be payable on each interest payment
date in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Note,
and Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance to Borrower for
any such interest payments from the remaining proceeds of the Loan. The
Interest Reserve shall be available only for disbursement of the
periodic payments of accrued interest due to Lender on the Loan pursuant
to the terms of this Loan Agreement and the Note, and for no other
purpose. If, at any time, Lender shall not have received on the date
due, any payment of interest upon the Loan, Lender may, at its sole
option, disburse the Interest Reserve directly in payment of such
interest amount. Advances of the Interest Reserve shall be subject to
the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, including, without
limitation, the conditions precedent set forth in SECTIONS 2.11 and
2.12.

together with interest accrued (through the date of such prepayment) on
the principal amount prepaid, and shall be applied by Lender in the
manner described in SECTION 2.04 hereof.

withholdings and liabilities except as so excluded being hereinafter
referred to as "TAXES"). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, (A)

additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.08) Lender receives an

been made, (B) Borrower shall make such deductions and (C) Borrower

Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other

amounts which may thereafter accrue; PROVIDED that no such selection or
change of the jurisdiction for its lending office shall be made if, in
the judgment of Lender, such selection or change would be
disadvantageous to Lender.

accordance with applicable law with corporate surety satisfactory to Lender and
Title Company or (ii) other security as required by a court of competent

4.12 INDEMNITY BY BORROWER. Borrower will indemnify, save, defend,
and hold harmless Lender and its respective Affiliates, directors, officers,
shareholders, agents, attorneys, and employees (collectively, the "INDEMNITEE")
from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action
that are asserted against any indemnitee by any Person if the claim, demand,
action, or cause of action relates to a claim, demand, action, or cause of
action that the Person asserts or may assert against Borrower, any Guarantor or
any of the Property, (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of
action that are asserted against any indemnitee if the claim, demand, action or
cause of action directly or indirectly relates to the failure of Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person to perform or comply with any of the terms,
covenants or provisions of this Loan Agreement or of any of the other Loan
Documents, (c) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are
asserted against any indemnitee if the claim, demand, action or cause of action
directly or indirectly relates to any failure of condition or any other breach
or default under any Governmental Requirement applicable to Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of the Property, (d) any administrative or investigative
proceeding by any Governmental Authority directly or indirectly related to a
claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (a), (b) or (c)
above, and (e) any and all liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements) that any indemnitee
suffers or incurs as a result of any of the foregoing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
Borrower shall have no obligation under this SECTION 4.12 to any indemnitee with
respect to any of the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such indemnitee or any of such indemnitee's agents or employees
nor shall Borrower have any obligation under this SECTION 4.12 to any indemnitee
with respect to any negligent act of Lender in operating or managing the
Property after Lender has taken possession thereof. If any claim, demand, action
or cause of action is asserted against any indemnitee, such indemnitee shall
promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to do so shall not affect Borrower's
obligations under this SECTION 4.12 unless such failure materially prejudices
Borrower's right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or
cause of action, as hereinafter provided. If requested by Borrower in writing
and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such
indemnitee shall in good faith contest the validity, applicability and the
amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit
Borrower to participate in such contest. Any indemnitee that proposes to settle
or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for
payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms
of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or
compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower's concurrence
thereto. Each indemnitee is authorized to employ counsel in enforcing its rights
hereunder and in defending against any claim, demand, action, or cause of action
covered by this SECTION 4.12; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each indemnitee shall
endeavor, but shall not be obligated, in connection with any matter covered by
this SECTION 4.12 which also involves other indemnitees, to use reasonable
efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all
indemnitees.
4.13 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower will make, execute or endorse, and
acknowledge and deliver or file or cause the same to be done, all such vouchers,
invoices, notices, certifications, additional agreements, undertakings,
conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, transfers, assignments, financing
statements or other assurances, and take all such other action, as Lender may,
from time to time, deem reasonably necessary or proper in connection with this
Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the obligations of Borrower
hereunder or thereunder, or for better assuring and confirming unto Lender all
or any part of the security for any of the Obligation.
4.14 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS. Borrower shall become party to no
contract, for the performance of any work on the Property or for the supplying
of any labor, materials, or services for the construction of any improvements on

approved in advance in writing by Lender. Each Construction Contract shall apply
only to construction of the Improvements and Property and shall not cover
construction on or related to the Hotel/Retail
-32-
Property or any other property. Each Construction Contract must contain a
disclaimer by the Contractor of any and all claims for any lien against the Land
or Property in connection with any materials delivered to or services furnished
with respect to the Hotel/Retail Property. Contemporaneously with the execution
by Borrower of any construction contract for construction of any of the
Improvements, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Contractor's Affidavit and
Subordination executed by the Contractor. Each Construction Contract shall
provide that all liens of the contractor are subordinate to the Mortgage and
shall require all subcontracts entered into by the contractor to contain a
provision subordinating the subcontractor's liens to the lien of the Mortgage.
No change orders requiring an increase in the cost of any labor, materials or
services in connection with the Property in excess of $100,000 per change order,
or in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate of increases required by all change
orders, shall be effective without the prior written approval of Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change order which results in a change in the
Approved Budget which is not permitted by SECTION 4.16 may be made. No approval
by Lender of any construction contract or change order shall impose upon Lender
any responsibility for the adequacy, form, or content of such construction
contract or any change orders.

complete set of plans and specifications for the Improvements not later than
thirty (30) days before Borrower desires to commence construction of the
Improvements. Lender shall employ, at Borrower's cost and expense, the
Inspecting Architect/Engineer to review and comment upon plans and
specifications submitted by Borrower. Borrower and Borrower's Architect shall
resolve any comments or concerns of Lender or the Inspecting Architect/Engineer.
The plans and specifications approved by Lender shall constitute the "PLANS" for
purposes of this Loan Agreement. Lender shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that Lender and Lender's consultants do not unreasonably delay
a response to Borrower as to any plans and specifications submitted to Lender
for review.
4.16 PROSECUTION OF CONSTRUCTION. The construction of the
Improvements shall be prosecuted with due diligence and continuity, in a good

staging of construction as set forth in a schedule submitted to Lender in
connection with the Plans, delays due to weather, strikes, riots, acts of God,
war, unavailability of labor or materials, governmental laws, regulations or
restrictions. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any such delays;
provided, however, that in no event shall work cease for a period in excess of
one hundred and twenty (120) aggregate days regardless of the cause. Borrower
shall, in any event, complete construction of all Improvements free and clear of
all liens on or before the Construction Commitment Termination Date.

corrected (i) any material defect in any part of the Improvements, (ii) any
material departure (other than pursuant to change orders provided for by SECTION

and Governmental Requirements, or (iii) any encroachment by any part of the
Improvements upon any building line, easement, property line, or restricted
area, in each case except as may be consented to by Lender following Borrower's
written notice to Lender of such issue.
4.18 STORAGE OF MATERIALS. Borrower shall cause all materials
supplied for, or intended to be utilized in, the construction of any part of the
Improvements, but not affixed to or incorporated into the Improvements or the
Property, to be stored on the Property or at such other location as may be
approved by Lender in writing, with adequate safeguards, to prevent loss, theft,
damage, or commingling with other materials or projects.
-33-
4.19 INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY. Borrower shall permit Lender, the
Inspecting Architect/Engineer, any Governmental Authority, and their respective
agents and representatives, to enter upon the Property and Hotel/Retail Property

purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" (as defined by Federal Reserve Board
Regulation U) or extending credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any margin stock.
4.22 THE BORROWER'S DEPOSIT. If Lender reasonably determines at any

construction of the Improvements, (ii) other costs and expenses specified in the
Approved Budget, and (iii) other costs and expenses required to be paid in
connection with the acquisition and financing of the Land and the construction
of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and any Governmental
Requirements, then Borrower shall, within five (5) days of a written request
from Lender, deliver such funds as Lender may require (the "BORROWER'S DEPOSIT")
to Lender. Lender shall not be required to pay interest on such Borrower's
Deposit. Lender may advance all or a portion of the Borrower's Deposit prior to
disbursing any additional proceeds of the Loan. Borrower shall promptly notify
Lender in writing if and when the cost of the construction of the Improvements
exceeds, or appears likely to exceed, the amount of the unadvanced portion of
the Loan and the unadvanced portion of the Borrower's Deposit.
4.23 DIRECT DISBURSEMENT AND APPLICATION BY LENDER. Lender shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to disburse and directly apply the proceeds
of any Advance to the satisfaction of any of Borrower's obligations hereunder.
Any Advance by Lender for such purpose, except from the Borrower's Deposit,
shall be part of the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instruments.
Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any disbursements made directly by
Lender; provided, however, Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for
failure to deliver such notice. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to hold, use,
disburse, and apply the proceeds of the Loan and the Borrower's Deposit for
payment of the costs of construction of the Improvements, expenses incident to
the Loan and the Property, and the payment or performance of the Obligation.
Borrower hereby assigns and pledges the proceeds of the Loan and the Borrower's
Deposit to Lender for such purposes. Lender may advance and incur such expenses
as Lender deems necessary for the completion of construction of the Improvements
and to preserve the Property, and any other security for the Loan, and all such
expenses, even though in excess of the amount of the Loan, shall be secured by
the Security Instruments, and payable to Lender upon demand. Lender may disburse
any portion of any Advance at any time, and from time to time, to persons other
than Borrower for the purposes specified in this SECTION 4.11, irrespective of
the provisions of SECTION 2.03 hereof, and the amount of Advances to which
Borrower shall thereafter be entitled shall be correspondingly reduced.
4.24 ANTI-TERRORISM COMPLIANCE Borrower shall maintain adequate
procedures and policies to ensure that it is in compliance at all times with the
requirements of Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including without
limitation, Executive Order 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25,

ARTICLE VIII
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LENDER
8.01 RIGHTS OF LENDER. At any time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, in addition to
any other right or remedy of Lender, but not the obligation, in its own name or
in the name of Borrower, to enter into possession of all or any portion of the
Property; to perform all work necessary to complete the construction,
reconstruction, maintenance or renovation of or to operate the Property; and to
employ watchmen and other safeguards to protect such Property. Borrower hereby
appoints Lender as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower, with full power of
substitution, and in the name of Borrower, if Lender elects to do so, at any
time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default to
use such sums as are necessary to make such alterations, repairs and renovations
to the Property and employ such architects, engineers, and contractors as may be
required for the purpose of completing any construction, reconstruction,
maintenance or renovation on the Property or any portion thereof substantially
in accordance with Governmental Requirements, applicable restrictive covenants
and the Management Agreement, or to operate the Property or any portion thereof,
(b) execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may
be required for completion of construction, maintenance or renovation of or for
the operation of any of the Improvements, or for the benefit of the Property,
(c) endorse the name of Borrower on any checks or drafts representing proceeds
of the Insurance Policies, or other checks or instruments payable to Borrower
with respect to the Property, (d) do every act with respect to the construction,
repair, maintenance and operation of any of the Property or any portion thereof
which Borrower may do, and (e) prosecute or defend any action or proceeding
incident to the Property. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is a power
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Lender shall have no obligation to
undertake any of the foregoing actions, and if Lender should do so, it shall
have no liability to Borrower for the sufficiency or adequacy of any such
actions taken by Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Lender
assumes no liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of
Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, applicable Governmental
Requirements or restrictive covenants, or the Management Agreement, or other
control over the management and affairs of Borrower, nor by any such action
shall Lender be deemed to create a partnership with Borrower.
8.02 ACCELERATION. At any time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, declare the Loan
and the remaining Obligation to be immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and non-payment, or other notice
of default, notice of acceleration and intention to accelerate or other notice
of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if any Event of Default specified in ARTICLE VII(E) hereof shall occur, the
principal of and all interest on the Loan shall thereupon become due and payable
concurrently therewith, without any further action by Lender and without
presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and non-payment, or other notice
of default, notice of acceleration and intention to accelerate or other notice
of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.
8.03 FUNDS OF LENDER. Any funds of Lender used for any purpose
referred to in this ARTICLE VIII shall constitute a portion of the Obligation,
shall bear interest from the date advanced at the Default Rate, shall be secured
by all collateral as security for the Loan and shall be due and payable
immediately upon demand.
-41-
8.04 INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
8.05 PAYMENTS TO AFFILIATES. Borrower shall not pay or allow to be
paid any amount to Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any such Person upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
8.06 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, at any time prior to the completion of the Improvements, Lender may, at
its option, require that the Management Agreement be terminated. Upon a
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to all or any portion of
the Property prior to the completion of the Improvements, each Purchaser (and
Lender, if Lender is a Purchaser) shall have the right to terminate or continue
the Management Agreement as and upon the terms described in the Lender Manager
Agreement.
8.07 OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Unless such document expressly allows
Lender to act prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and with or
without accelerating the maturity of the Loan, Lender may proceed to take and
enforce any of its rights, interests, benefits or privileges under the Loan
Documents or which may be otherwise available to Lender, at law or in equity.
8.08 NO WAIVER OR EXHAUSTION. No waiver by Lender of any of its
rights or remedies hereunder, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, shall
be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent right or remedy of Lender; no
delay or omission in the exercise or enforcement by Lender of any rights or
remedies shall ever be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy of Lender;
and, no exercise or enforcement of any such rights or remedies shall ever be
held to exhaust any right or remedy of Lender.
8.09 RIGHT OF OFFSET. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a right of
offset, to secure the repayment of the Obligation, upon any and all monies,
securities or other property of Borrower, and the proceeds therefrom, now or
hereafter held or received by or in transit to Lender, from or for the account
of Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection
or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special) and
credits of Borrower, and any and all claims of Borrower against Lender at any
time existing. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
without notice to Borrower, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce said liens
against any and all items hereinabove referred to against the Loan and the
remaining Obligation. Borrower waives any right of Borrower to require or
request that Lender look to any of the Property or Collateral for repayment of
the Obligation prior to exercising its right of offset and waives any obligation
of Lender to do so.
8.10 APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS..
(a) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any
damage, destruction or casualty to the Property or any part thereof,
whether or not covered by insurance.
(b) Lender may collect the proceeds of any and all insurance
required to be carried under this Loan Agreement that may become payable
with respect to the Property or any portion thereof (and Borrower hereby
authorizes and directs each insurance company to make payment of such
proceeds directly to Lender at Lender's request) and, at Lender's sole
option, may apply the same to the Obligation in the order and manner as
Lender may determine, or use all such casualty proceeds to allow
Borrower to restore or rebuild the Property so damaged to a condition
reasonably satisfactory to Lender provided that all of the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) Lender determines in good faith that it is
economically, financially and practically feasible to
-42-
repair and restore the Property to its previous condition, with such
repairs and restorations being completed prior to the Maturity Date;
(ii) the total cost of repairing and restoring the Property to its
previous condition, as estimated by an architect approved by Lender,
shall not be greater than the amount of such casualty insurance proceeds
together with any sums that Borrower deposits with Lender in advance for
the purpose of paying for the cost of such repairs and restoration;
(iii) such restoration and repair shall be accomplished in accordance
with the requirements and conditions of SECTION 8.10(C) hereof; and (iv)
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon the request of Borrower, Lender shall make such
insurance proceeds available to Borrower to restore or rebuild the
Property if the insurance proceeds payable with respect to any damage,
destruction or casualty do not exceed One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00); provided, that the conditions set forth in SUBSECTIONS
(I), (II), (III) AND (IV) above have been satisfied. To the extent
Lender makes such proceeds available to restore or rebuild, the
Improvements shall be repaired and restored so as to be of at least
equal value in substantially the same character as prior to such damage
or destruction on or before the Maturity Date. If such casualty proceeds
are made available by Lender to Borrower, any surplus which may remain
out of said insurance proceeds after payment of all costs and expenses
of such repair and restoration shall, at the option of Lender, be
applied as a payment or prepayment of the Obligation.
(c) Any restoration or repair shall be commenced with due
diligence and in good faith by Borrower and all funds held by Lender in
accordance with the terms of this SECTION 8.10 shall be paid out from
time to time as such restoration and repair progresses upon the written
approval of Lender and the written request of Borrower, which requests
shall be submitted in form and substance, and with supporting notices,
documentation and waivers as may be required by Lender.
(d) Prior to application or disbursal of any casualty
insurance proceeds under this SECTION 8.10, Lender may deduct therefrom
any expenses incurred in connection with the collection or handling of
such proceeds, it being understood and agreed that Lender shall not be,
under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect,
or exercise diligence in the collection of, any such proceeds, and
Lender shall provide Borrower a written summary of all expenses deducted
from such proceeds.
(e) In the event the Mortgage is foreclosed, or title to any
of the Property is transferred in extinguishment, in whole or in part,
of the indebtedness secured thereby, or by transfer or conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure, and in connection therewith all right, title, and
interest of Borrower in and to all Insurance Policies passes to (i.e.,
is purchased by) such transferee or purchaser, the Insurance Policies
shall inure to the benefit of and pass to such successor in interest of
Borrower or the Purchaser.
(f) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this SECTION 8.10
to the contrary, if the casualty proceeds exceed the Obligation then
outstanding, Borrower may use such proceeds to first repay the
Obligation in full, and upon receipt of funds sufficient to repay the
Obligation in full, Lender shall release the balance of the casualty
proceeds to Borrower.
8.11 APPLICATION OF CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS.
(a) Lender shall be entitled to receive any and all sums
which may be awarded or become payable to Borrower for the condemnation
of any of the Property for public or quasi-public use, or by virtue of
private sale in lieu thereof, and any sums which may be awarded or
become payable to Borrower for damages caused by public works or
construction on or near the Property (collectively, "CONDEMNATION
PROCEEDS"). All such Condemnation Proceeds are hereby
-43-
assigned to Lender, and Borrower shall, upon request of Lender, make,
execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all additional assignments and
documents as may be necessary from time to time to enable Lender to
collect and receipt for any such Condemnation Proceeds. Lender shall
not, under any circumstances, be liable or responsible for failure to
collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any such
Condemnation Proceeds.
(b) Lender shall, upon Borrower's written request and so
long as no Event of Default has occurred, make all Minor Condemnation
Proceeds available to Borrower to allow Borrower to repair, renovate or
reconstruct the Property to a condition reasonably satisfactory to
Lender, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) Lender determines in good faith that following
the contemplated repairs, renovation or reconstruction, the Property
shall not fail to comply with the Management Agreement or any
Governmental Requirement or other restriction affecting the Property,
and any changes in the Property resulting therefrom will not materially
adversely affect the operation or use of the Property (including,
without limitation, access, parking, food and beverage service, security
or amenities);
(ii) Lender determines in good faith that it is
economically, financially and practically feasible to repair, renovate
or reconstruct the Property to a condition substantially equivalent to
the condition of the Property prior to such condemnation, with such
repairs, renovation or reconstruction being completed prior to the
Maturity Date;
(iii) The total cost of repairing, renovating or
reconstructing the Property to a condition substantially equivalent to
the condition of the Property prior to such condemnation, as approved by
Lender, and in accordance with the requirements of SUBSECTIONS (C)(I)
and (II) herein, as estimated by an architect approved by Lender, shall
not be greater than the amount of the Condemnation Proceeds, together
with any sums that Borrower deposits with Lender in advance for the
purpose of paying for the cost of such repairs, renovation or
reconstruction;
(iv) Such renovation, repairs or reconstruction shall
be accomplished in accordance with the requirements and conditions of
SECTION 8.11(D) hereof; and
(v) Lender in good faith believes that prior to
completion of such repair, renovation or reconstruction, sufficient
income and revenues will be available from the Property to pay Total
Debt Service and Expenses during the period of such repair, renovation
and reconstruction.
To the extent Lender makes Condemnation Proceeds available to renovate,
repair or reconstruct, the Improvements shall be renovated, repaired or
reconstructed so as to be of at least equal quality as the quality of
the Property prior to such condemnation on or before the Maturity Date.
If such Condemnation Proceeds are made available by Lender to Borrower,
any surplus which may remain out of such Condemnation Proceeds after
payment of all costs and expenses of such repair, renovation or
reconstruction, shall, at the option of Lender, be applied as a payment
or prepayment of the Obligation.
(c) Any repairs, renovation or reconstruction, shall be
commenced with due diligence and in good faith by Borrower and all funds
held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 8.11 shall
be paid out from time to time as such repair, renovation, reconstruction
or satisfaction progresses upon the written approval of Lender and the
written
-44-
request of Borrower, which request shall be submitted in form and
substance, and with supporting notices, documentation and waivers as may
be required by Lender.
(d) If (i) the conditions to Lender's obligation to make the
Condemnation Proceeds available to Borrower as set forth in SECTION
8.11(C) hereof are not satisfied, (ii) an Event of Default has occurred,
(iii) the Condemnation Proceeds are not Minor Condemnation Proceeds, or
(iv) Borrower does not request that Lender make such Minor Condemnation
Proceeds available to Borrower to repair, renovate or reconstruct the
Property, Lender may apply the Condemnation Proceeds to the Obligation
in the order and manner as Lender may determine, or as otherwise
provided in this Loan Agreement.
(e) Prior to application or disbursal of any Condemnation
Proceeds under this SECTION 8.11, Lender may deduct therefrom any
expenses incurred in connection with the collection or handling of such
Condemnation Proceeds, it being understood and agreed that Lender shall
not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to
collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any such
Condemnation Proceeds.
8.12 THIRD PARTY PAYMENTS Whenever this Loan Agreement or any other
Loan Document requires that amounts payable by a third party be paid directly to
Lender, Lender may enforce such right with a preliminary injunction or temporary
restraining order. Borrower agrees that irreparable harm may result if such
payments are not made directly to Lender. Borrower agrees not to oppose a motion
for such injunction or restraining order.
8.13 PROTECTIVE ADVANCES. If Borrower has failed to keep or perform
any covenant whatsoever contained in any Loan Document, Lender may, but shall
not be obligated to any person to, perform or attempt to perform said covenant,
and any payment made or expense incurred in the performance or attempted
performance of any such covenant shall be a part of the Obligation, and Borrower
promises, upon demand, to pay to Lender all sums so advanced or paid by Lender,
with interest at the Default Rate from the date when paid or incurred by Lender.
No such payment by Lender shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. In
addition to the Liens of the Loan Documents, Lender shall be subrogated to all
rights, titles, liens, and security interests securing the payment of any debt,
claim, tax, or assessment for the payment of which Lender may make an advance,
or which Lender may pay.
8.14 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW. At the request of Lender after the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall create a reserve for the
payment of all insurance premiums, taxes and assessments against the Property by
paying to Lender, on each Payment Date, a sum equal to the premiums that will
next become due and payable on the hazard Insurance Policies covering the
Property, or any part thereof, plus taxes and assessments next due on the
Property, or any part thereof, as estimated by Lender, less all sums paid
previously to Lender therefor, divided by the number of installments of
principal and/or interest to elapse before one month prior to the date when such
premiums, taxes and assessments will become delinquent, such sums to be held by
Lender for the purposes of paying such premiums, taxes and assessments. Upon
notice from Lender to Borrower, any excess reserve may, at the discretion of
Lender, be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made on the
Obligation by Borrower, and any deficiency shall be paid by Borrower to Lender
on or before the date when such premiums, taxes and assessments shall have
become delinquent. Transfer of legal title to the Property shall automatically
transfer title to any sums deposited under the provisions of this SECTION 8.15.
8.15 WAIVER OF OFFSET RIGHT DEFICIENCY STATUTE. Borrower hereby
knowingly and intentionally waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of each
Guarantor, the right of offset granted by Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of
the Texas Property Code and agrees to the provisions of Section 3.8 of the
Mortgage, which are incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing is not intended and shall not be deemed under any circumstances to
require Lender to give notice of any type or nature to any Person except as

and effect as long as all or any portion of the Obligation is outstanding.

and evidenced by the Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Texas or the laws of the United States, as applicable. Any suit, action or
proceeding against Borrower with respect to this Loan Agreement, the Note or the

irrevocably appoints Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, III, whose address is 00000 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, its process agent, as its true and

postage prepaid, to Borrower's address set forth in SECTION 9.01 hereof.
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document brought in
the courts located in the State of Texas, County of Dallas, and hereby further
irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in
any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. BORROWER AND LENDER
AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO
REQUIRE MARSHALING OF ASSETS BY LENDER, WITH RESPECT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS
UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE.
9.11 TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the
provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. By accepting
payment of any portion of the Obligation after its due date, Lender does not
waive its right to require prompt payment when due of all other portions of the
Obligation or to declare an Event of Default for failure so to pay.
9.12 WAIVERS. No failure or delay of Lender in exercising any power
or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
it would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or consent to any departure by Borrower or any
other Person therefrom shall in any event be effective unless signed in writing
by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on
Borrower or any other Person in any case shall entitle Borrower or such Person
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
-48-
9.13 SEVERABILITY. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Documents should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
9.14 COUNTERPARTS. This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, with the same effect as if all of the parties had signed the
same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute one
agreement.
9.15 MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. It is the intention of each of Lender and
Borrower to comply with all applicable federal and state Laws relating to usury;
that is, laws limiting charges for the use, detention or forbearance of money
and governing contracts relating thereto. Accordingly, this Agreement and all
agreements between Borrower and Lender, whether now existing or hereafter
arising, are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason
of acceleration of the maturity of the Obligation, or otherwise, shall the
amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention
of the money to be loaned under the Note or otherwise, or for the performance or
payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan
Document exceed the Maximum Rate. In the event Lender ever receives, collects,
or applies as interest, any excess amount which would be excessive interest,
that amount shall be treated as a principal prepayment under the Note and
applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Note; PROVIDED THAT,
if the principal of the Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid
to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under
any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall,
to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any
nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b)
exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) spread the total
amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Note; PROVIDED
THAT, if the Note is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full
contemplated term of the Note, and if the interest received by Lender for the
actual period of existence of the Note exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lender shall
refund to Borrower the amount of such excess, and, in such event, Lender shall
not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for,
charging, taking, reserving, or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum
Rate. To the extent that Lender is relying on the laws of the State of Texas for
purposes of determining the Maximum Rate, such term shall mean the interest rate
ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in Chapter 303 of the Texas
Finance Code, as may be hereafter amended or recodified. To the extent United
States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge or receive a greater
amount of interest, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of
Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as may be hereafter amended or
recodified, for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to
the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may,
at its option and from time to time, implement any other method of computing the
Maximum Rate under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as may be hereafter
amended or recodified, or under other applicable Law, by giving Borrower the
notice required by applicable law now or hereafter in effect. In no event shall
the Loan be considered a revolving credit account as defined in Chapter 346 of
the Texas Finance Code, as may be hereafter amended or recodified. The terms and
provisions of this SECTION 9.15 shall control and supersede every other
provision of this Agreement and of all agreements with respect to the Loan
between Borrower and Lender in the event of a conflict in such provisions.
9.16 BINDING EFFECT. This Loan Agreement shall become effective when
it shall have been executed by Borrower and Lender.

9.17 CONTROLLING DOCUMENT. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of
this Loan Agreement shall control.
9.18 FINAL RELEASE. Full payment of the Note by Borrower or any other
Person shall automatically constitute a full release of any claims or causes of
action existing as of the date of such payment in favor of Borrower or any other
party, in connection with the Loan, this Agreement, the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents, to the extent that such claim relates to (i) alleged failure of
Lender or its Affiliates to act in good faith or deal fairly, (ii) alleged oral
agreements to modify the terms of this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan
Documents, (iii) alleged, special or fiduciary relationship between Borrower and
Lender, and (iv) tortuous interference with, or control, over the management of
Borrower.
9.19 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement
between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
9.20 LIABILITY. Any obligation or liability of Borrower hereunder
shall be enforceable only against, and payable only out of, the property of
Borrower, and in no event shall any officer, director, shareholder, partner,
beneficiary, agent, advisor or employee of Borrower, be held to any personal
liability whatsoever or be liable for any of the obligations of the parties
hereunder, or the property of any such Persons be subject to the payment of any
such obligations, except in the case of certain Persons as otherwise
specifically provided in the Loan Documents and where such Persons have executed
a written agreement pertaining thereto.
