rescinded otherwise than in accordance with the terms thereof or with
the express prior written agreement, consent or approval of Lender, or
any action at law, suit or in equity or other legal proceeding to
cancel, revoke or rescind any of the Loan Documents shall be commenced
by or on behalf of Borrower and/or Guarantor, or any court or any
other governmental or regulatory authority or agency of competent
jurisdiction shall make a determination that, or issue a judgment,
order, decree or ruling to the effect that, any one or more of the
Loan Documents is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with
the terms thereof; or
(m) Borrower and/or Guarantor shall be indicted for a federal crime, a
punishment for which could include the forfeiture of any assets of
Borrower and/or Guarantor
THEN and in any such event, Lender may, at its option, without further
notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following,
all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(1) Forthwith suspend or terminate, in the discretion of Lender, the
commitment of Lender to make Loans to Borrower hereunder and
Lender shall be relieved of all obligations to make any Loans to
Borrower, provided that Borrower shall not be relieved of any of
its obligations hereunder or under the Loan Documents, and that
Lender may immediately suspend Advances upon a Default without
need to await the expiration of any notice or cure period
established above;
(2) Declare all amounts owing hereunder or with respect to the Note
due and payable in full together with all interest thereon and all
other payments due hereunder and under the Note, all without
presentment, demand, notice or protest, all of which are hereby
waived;
(3) Exercise any one or all of the rights and remedies of mortgagee,
secured party and creditor under the Loan Documents, the
provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable
law upon default by a borrower, whether by suit in equity, action
at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant
to which the Obligations to such Lender are evidenced, and, if
such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise,
proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or
equitable right of such Lender. Such remedies may be exercised in
such order and at such times as Lender deems appropriate, against
all or portions of the Collateral. No remedy herein conferred upon
any Lender or the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to
be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or any other provision of law.
(4) Set-off against any and all deposits, accounts, certificate of
deposit balances, claims, or other sums at any time credited by or
due from Lender and against all other property of Borrower in the
possession of any Lender or under its control.
(5) Obtain the appointment of a receiver upon application to a court
of competent jurisdiction as a matter of right and without regard
to the asserted value of the security for the Obligations, with
the receiver having the express power and authority to complete
the Improvements, to perform the Borrower's obligations under the
Purchase and Sale Agreements and to deliver deeds and other
closing documents under the Purchase and Sale Agreements.
Lender may proceed to realize, from time to time, upon any portion or all
of the collateral security for such amounts then due and payable, in such order
as Lender may elect. No remedy herein conferred upon Lender is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and
shall be in addition to all other remedies given hereunder or at law.
SECTION 13.2. Completion of Project. If any one or more of the Events of
Default shall have occurred, regardless of whether the obligation to make
Advances has been terminated or the Note accelerated under SECTION 13.1, the
Lender may cause the Project to be completed and may enter upon the Land and
construct, equip and complete the Project, with such changes therein as the
Lender may, from time to time, and in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. In
connection with any construction of the Project, the Lender may either directly
or through a receiver:
(a) use any funds of the Borrower, including any balance which may be held
by the Lender as security or, if Borrower is entitled to the same the
funds held in escrow under the Purchase and Sale Agreements, and any
funds remaining unadvanced under the Loan;
(b) employ existing contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects,
engineers, and the like, or terminate the same and employ others;
(c) employ security watchmen to protect the Project;
(d) make such additions, changes and corrections in the Plans and
Specifications as shall, in the judgment of the Lender, be necessary
or desirable;
(e) take over and use any and all Personal Property contracted for or
purchased by the Borrower, if appropriate, or dispose of the same as
the Lender sees fit;
(f) execute all applications and certificates on behalf of the Borrower
which may be required by any Governmental Authority or Requirements or
contract documents or agreements;
(g) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future bills and claims
which are or may be liens against the Project, or may be necessary for
the completion of the Improvements or the clearance of title to the
Project;
(h) enter into new Purchase and Sale Agreements, and modify or amend
existing Purchase and Sale Agreements, all as the Lender shall deem to
be necessary or desirable;
(i) prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with
the construction of the Improvements or in any other way affecting the
Land or the Improvements and take such action and require such
performance as the Lender deems necessary under any Payment and
Performance Bonds;
(j) fulfill any obligations of Borrower under the Requirements and the
Purchase and Sale Agreements; and
(k) take such action hereunder, or refrain from acting hereunder, as the
Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time
determine, and without any limitation whatsoever, to carry out the
intent of this SECTION 13.2.
The Borrower shall be liable to the Lender for all costs paid or incurred for
the construction, equipping and completion of the Project, whether the same
shall be paid or incurred hereunder or otherwise. All payments made or
liabilities incurred by the Lender hereunder of any nature whatsoever shall be
deemed Advances under this Agreement and shall be secured by the Security
Documents. To the extent that any costs so paid or incurred by the Lender,
together with all other Advances made by the Lender hereunder, exceed the Loan
Amount, the amount of such excess costs shall be added to the Loan Amount, and
the Borrower's obligation to repay the same, together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Agreement and secured
by the Security Documents. Lender shall not be obligated to continue such
construction longer than it shall see fit and it may thereafter, at any time,
change any course of action undertaken by it or abandon such construction and
decline to make further payments, whether or not the Project shall have been
completed. The construction, equipping and completion of the Project shall be
deemed to include any action necessary to cure any Event of Default by the
Borrower under any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents.
SECTION 13.3 Other Remedies. If any one or more of the Events of Default
shall have occurred, then regardless of any other actions taken by Lender, the
Lender may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action
at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced,
including the appointment of a receiver. No remedy under this Agreement or in
any of the other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy.
Each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.
SECTION 13.4 Waivers. The Borrower hereby waives to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands for performance,
notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the provisions
hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents), protests and notices of dishonor,
(b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on the Lender's part in the
enforcement of its rights (but not fulfillment of its obligations) under the
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and (c) any and
all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by
any statute or rule of law and any defense of any kind which the Borrower may
now or hereafter have with respect to its liability under this Agreement or
under any of the other Loan Documents.
The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the
Lender hereunder shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
which it would otherwise have. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising
or enforcing any of the Lender's rights and remedies shall operate as, or
constitute a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Lender of any Event of Default or
of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other
default hereunder or under any other agreement. No single or partial exercise of
any of the Lender's rights or remedies, and no other agreement or transaction,
of whatever nature entered into between the Lender and the Borrower at any time,
either express or implied, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the
Lender's rights and remedies. No waiver by the Lender of any of the Lender's
rights and remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any
subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. All of the
Lender's rights and remedies and all of the Lender's rights, remedies, powers,
privileges, and discretions under any other agreement or transaction are
cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Lender
at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Lender in its sole
discretion may determine.
Notice: Under Maine law, no promise, contract or agreement to lend
money, extend credit, forbear from collection of a debt or make any
other accommodation for the repayment of a debt for more than Two
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) may be enforced in court
against Lender unless the promise, contract or agreement is in writing
and signed by Lender. Accordingly, Borrower cannot enforce any oral
promise unless it is contained in a loan document signed by Lender, nor
can any change, forbearance or other accommodation relating to the
loan, this agreement or any other loan document be enforced, unless it
is in writing and signed by Lender.
SECTION 13.5 No Obligation of Lender to Complete Improvements. In the event
that the Lender exercises the right to take possession of the Improvements and
the Project under this Agreement, whether directly or through a receiver, it
shall not be obligated to continue the construction of the Project at all or, if
it does so continue the construction, longer than it shall deem appropriate, in
its sole discretion, and may at any time abandon such construction and equipment
and refuse to make further payments for the account of the Borrower, whether or
not the Project have been completed and without affecting the validity of the
Security Documents and any other security given by the Borrower to the Lender
for advances already made under this paragraph and other provisions of this
Agreement.
SECTION 14. SETOFF. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during
the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time
or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch
of the Lender where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due
from the Lender to the Borrower and any securities or other property of the
Borrower in the possession of the Lender may be applied to or set off against
the payment of the Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or
indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or
hereafter arising, of the Borrower to the Lender.
SECTION 15. EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs
of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any taxes (including any
interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Lender (other than
taxes based upon the Lender's net income), including any recording, transfer,

taxes payable on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including any taxes payable by the Lender after the Closing Date, (c)

attorneys' and paralegals' fees and costs, and the fees and costs of
consultants, accountants, auctioneers, receivers, brokers, property managers,
appraisers, investment bankers or other experts retained by the Lender in
connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of
the Loan Documents against the Borrower or the administration thereof after the
occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and (ii) any litigation, proceeding
or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to the
Lender's relationship with the Borrower or defending any counterclaims, cross
claims or attacks against Lender by Borrower or any other Person, and (f) all
reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Lender incurred in connection
with UCC searches, UCC filings, title rundowns, title searches or mortgage
recordings. The covenants of this Section shall survive payment or satisfaction
of payment of all amounts owing with respect to the Note.
SECTION 16. INDEMNIFICATION. Except for Lender's gross negligence or
willful misconduct or Lender's breach of Lender's obligations under this
Agreement or the Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Lender from and against any and all claims, actions and suits,
whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities,
losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (a) any brokerage, leasing,
finders or similar fees, (b) any disbursement of the proceeds of any of the
Advances, (c) any condition of the Project whether related to the quality of
construction or otherwise, (d) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the
proceeds of any of the Advances, (e) any actual or alleged violation of any
Requirements or Project Approvals, (f) the Borrower entering into or performing
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (g) Borrower's failure to
comply with the Purchase and Sale Agreements or any other obligations to the
purchasers of Condominium Units, of (h) with respect to the Borrower and their
respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the

personal injury or damage to property), in each case including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in
connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding. In
litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lender shall be entitled to select
its own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees
to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the
extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable
for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to
the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under
applicable law.
SECTION 17. LIABILITY OF THE LENDER. No action shall be commenced by the
Borrower for any claim against the Lender under the terms of this Agreement
unless written notice thereof, specifically setting forth the claim of the
Borrower, shall have been given to the Lender at least fifteen (15) Business
Days prior to the commencement of such action. In no event shall the Lender be
liable to the Borrower, or anyone claiming by, under or through the Borrower,
for any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, whatever the
nature of the breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Lender, such damages
and claims therefor being expressly waived by the Borrower.

construction by the Borrower of the Improvements or the absence therefrom of
defects or Lender's requirement of compliance with this Agreement or the Loan
Documents.
SECTION 19. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein, in the Note, in any of the other
Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lender,
notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender, shall
survive the making of the Advances, and shall continue in full force and effect
so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Note or any of the other
Loan Documents remains outstanding or the Lender has any obligation to make any
Advances.

or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given as specified

AGAINST THE BORROWER, AND AGAINST ANY PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER, IN ANY OTHER
