Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower fails to achieve the aforementioned Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for any rolling four quarters, Borrower shall have thirty (30) days to cure the default after written notification from the Lender. Borrower may, at its discretion, elect to cure said Default by paying to Lender an amount of outstanding principal equal to or exceeding the amount of the calculated shortfall of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio such that when the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is recalculated taking into account said principal payment to Lender, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 is achieved, Lender shall thereupon provide Borrower a written waiver of said default. The financial data comprising both the Numerator and the Denominator will be derived from the same prior 4 quarter period. For example, the March 31st, 2014 measurement will use historical data from the 4 quarter period beginning 4/1/13 and ending 3/31/14. The one exception to this is that the historical amounts of Current Maturities of Long Term Debt paid in accordance with the amortization schedule of the to-be-paid-off SunTrust loan will be replaced with the amount of required principal payments in accordance with the post-interest-only amortization schedule of this new loan (i.e. $20,833.33 per month).

Declare all amounts previously advanced to Borrower hereunder or under the Note, and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other obligations evidenced or secured by this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind (all of which hereby are expressly waived), which may, at the option of Lender, bear interest at the maximum rate of interest allowed by law, and Lender may thereupon institute proceedings to collect the same and/or foreclose the Mortgage.
2. Enforcement of Security. Exercise its rights and remedies under the Note and under any of the other Loan Documents, including the Security Documents, in accordance with their terms.
3. Receiver. Appoint a receiver as a matter of strict right, for the purpose of protecting, preserving and operating the Project, preventing waste, and protecting all rights accruing to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. All expenses incurred in connection with the appointment of a receiver, or in protecting, preserving or operating the Project, shall be chargeable against Borrower and shall be secured by the Security Documents.
4. Other. Cumulatively exercise any other remedy specifically granted hereunder or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.
ARTICLE VI
OTHER PROVISIONS
1. Loan Expenses. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the Loan, including without limitation any broker’s fees and commissions, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ and legal assistants’ fees, documentary, intangible and other taxes, recording costs and expenses, surveys required to be furnished by Borrower, appraisals, abstracting charges, policies of title insurance and any endorsements thereto, and license and permit fees and Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all costs, losses, liability and expense arising in connection with any of the foregoing. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to utilize the proceeds of the Loan to satisfy any and all of the costs and expenses referred to herein and no further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant disbursements in payment of the foregoing.
2. Further Assurances. Borrower agrees that at anytime, and from time to time, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, it shall, upon the request of Lender, execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as Lender may reasonably request in order to more fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
3. Assignment. Lender, in the exercise of its sole discretion, may (i) assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all of its rights hereunder and thereunder, and
13
Loan #401663900
cause the assignee or any subsequent assignee to make any advances of Loan proceeds not made at the time of the assignment, or (ii) participate the Loan with one or more other lending institutions; and, in either such event, all the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to the Loan. Lender shall have the right to disclose to any prospective assignee of or participant in the Loan such information regarding Borrower or any Guarantor as Lender may deem necessary or expedient. Borrower shall have no right to assign this Agreement or the proceeds to be advanced hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent.
4. Rights, Remedies, Powers. Each and every right, remedy and power granted to Lender hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, remedy or power herein specifically granted, now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise and may be exercised by Lender from time to time concurrently or independently and as often and in such order as Lender may deem expedient. Any failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any such right, remedy or power, or abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect Lender’s right thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power. In the event Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any such right, remedy or power and such proceedings shall have been determined adversely to Lender, then in each such event Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and the rights, remedies and powers of Lender shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in the event of any breach or alleged breach by Lender of any obligation of Lender to exercise reasonable discretion, or to take any required or permitted action in a timely fashion, under any provision hereof or thereof, then Borrower’s sole remedy in connection with any such breach or alleged breach shall be an action for specific performance against Lender.
5. Modification, Waiver, Consent. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any consent to any departure of any provision of this Agreement or any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Lender, and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on Borrower in any event not specifically required of Lender hereunder shall not entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder. Any advance of Loan proceeds hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligations to make further advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such waiver have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as hereinabove provided. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may accept or reject any offer or undertaking by Borrower to cure same in the exercise of Lender’s sole discretion.

No payment by Borrower or receipt by Lender of a lesser amount than any sum of money herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of such stipulated sum, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check, or any letter accompanying any check, be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Lender may accept such payment or check without prejudice to Lender’s right to recover the balance of any payment or other monies under this Agreement or pursue any of the remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
14. Survival of Provisions.

Without limiting any of the other provisions contained in this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all liability, deficiency, damage, cost or expense resulting from (i) any misrepresentation, material omission, breach of warranty or representation, or the non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Borrower under or relating to this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) any allegation that the relationship of Lender and Borrower is anything other than that of a secured lender and a borrower; and any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, legal and accounting fees or other expenses incident to the foregoing indemnification by Borrower pursuant to this paragraph.
16. Conflict With Note and Other Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Note or the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control and govern in all respects.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment of the Note and the satisfaction of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents for so long as any claim may be asserted by the State of Florida or any such other governmental entity or agency.
22. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. Neither Borrower nor Lender, nor any successor to or assignee of either of them, shall seek (and each of them hereby irrevocably waives its right to seek) a jury trial in any lawsuit, counterclaim or other litigation proceeding based upon or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any related instrument or agreement, any collateral for the payment of the loan, or any dealings or relationships between or among any such persons or entities with respect to the Loan. Neither Borrower nor Lender, nor any such other person or entity, shall seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived. The provisions of this paragraph will be subject to no exceptions.
