Lender, any material adverse change in the business or financial
condition of Borrower or any material tenant or in the Project, or in
any other state of facts submitted to Lender in connection with the
Loan, from that which existed at the time Lender considered the
issuance of this Agreement. The fact of the bankruptcy filing by Edison
Brothers Stores, Inc. and any partial or full rejection of the Edison
Brothers Lease will not be deemed a material adverse change for the

accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to the rights
of creditors generally and general principles of equity.

created by the Security Documents will, when granted and recorded or

the Loan Documents will not result in any breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any
material agreement or instrument under which Borrower is a party or is

of any covenants, conditions or provisions of any such material

14
15
6.7 No Actions. Except as disclosed to Lender in writing prior to the
date of this Agreement, no actions, suits or proceedings are pending or
to Borrower's knowledge threatened against Borrower that if adversely
determined could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely
affect the repayment of the Loan, the performance by Borrower under
this Agreement or the financial condition, business or operations of
Borrower.

effect all material licenses, permits, consents, approvals and
authorizations necessary or appropriate for the management and
operation of the Improvements for their intended purpose that are

loss statements, statements as to ownership and other statements or
reports previously or hereafter given to Lender by or on behalf of
Borrower are and shall be true, complete and correct in all material

tax returns and has paid all of its current obligations before
delinquency, including all federal, state and local taxes and all other
payments required under federal, state or local law.

Borrower for an Advance shall constitute an affirmation on the part of
Borrower that the representations and warranties contained herein are
true and correct in all material respects as of the time of such
request and that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 hereof
have been fully satisfied or waived by Lender in writing. All
representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution
of this Agreement, all Advances and the execution and delivery of all

Loan and all indebtedness hereunder have been paid in full and all of
Borrower's obligations hereunder have been fully discharged.
6.12 Year 2000 Compliance. Borrower has (i) initiated a review and
assessment of all areas within its business and operations (including

applications used by the Borrower (or its suppliers and vendors) may be
unable to recognize and perform properly date-sensitive functions
involving certain dates prior to and any date after December 31, 1999),
(ii) developed a plan and timeline for addressing the Year 2000 Problem
on a timely basis, and (iii) to date, implemented that plan in
accordance with that timetable. Borrower reasonably believes that all
computer applications (including those of its suppliers and vendors)
that are material to its business and operations will on a timely basis
be able to perform properly date-sensitive functions for all dates
before and after January 1, 2000 (that is, "Year 2000 Compliant"),
except to the extent that a failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to have material adverse effect on Borrower, its businesses or
assets.

SECTION 7. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

contest in good faith the validity or amount thereof provided that
Borrower shall have furnished to Lender upon Lender's request a cash
deposit or other appropriate security in an amount and form
satisfactory to Lender to protect Lender against the creation of any
lien on, or any sale or forfeiture of, any property encumbered by the
Security Documents. Upon the final determination of Borrower's
liability following the adjudication of such contest, Borrower shall
promptly pay or cause to be paid all sums, if any, determined to be

7.3 Enforcement of Contracts. Borrower shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to enforce or cause the enforcement of the contracts
for the construction of the Tenant Improvements to ensure that the
contractors are required to promptly and diligently perform all of
their obligations thereunder and in such a manner as to preserve
Lender's security in the Project. No change, amendment or modification

Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, except changes, amendments or modifications that are (i) to

security agreement or other arrangements wherein the seller reserves or
purports to reserve the right to remove or to repossess any such items
or to consider them personal property after their incorporation into
the Improvements; provided the foregoing shall not preclude Borrower
from (i) leasing materials, equipment or fixtures in the ordinary

purchase money indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 8.4.

7.11 Establishment and Maintenance of Tax and Insurance Escrow Account.
Borrower shall establish with Lender an interest bearing deposit
account ("Escrow Account") for the purpose of maintaining a cash
reserve for taxes and insurance in connection with the Real Property,
which account shall be pledged to Lender as further security for the
Loan. Commencing on the first Business Day of the first calendar
quarter after the date hereof, and on the first Business Day of each
October, January, April and July thereafter, Borrower shall deposit
into the Escrow Account the amount set forth in Schedule 1, and shall
make such further deposits as may be required under the Deed of Trust.
Simultaneously with the execution hereof Borrower shall also pay to
Lender for deposit in the Escrow Account the sum of Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) being the quarterly deposit that would
have been required had this loan been outstanding on January 1, 1999.
Lender shall make disbursements from such account to Borrower or, at
Lender's option to the taxing authority or the relevant insurance
company, upon presentation satisfactory to Lender of evidence of the
amounts due and payable thereon. Lender shall have no obligation to pay
charges for such taxes or insurance if there are not sufficient funds
in the Escrow Account for such purpose.

quarterly accounting period, a certificate signed by the

determined would materially and adversely affect the repayment of the
Loan, the performance by Borrower under this Agreement, or the
financial condition, business or operations of Borrower.
7.15 Further Assurances. Borrower shall execute and deliver such
additional documents and do such other acts as Lender may reasonably
require in order to effectuate Borrower's obligations with respect to
the Loan without substantively amending any of the Loan Documents.

18
19
material developments disclosed to Borrower from any source in the
Edison Brothers bankruptcy proceedings which may have a material effect
upon the Edison Brothers Lease.
7.17 Financial Covenants. Until the Loan is repaid in full, Borrower
shall comply with the following:
(a) Permitted Expenses. Borrower shall not expend any income
of the Project of any type other than for (i) Operating
Expenses of the Project, (ii) payments of principal, interest
and other charges with respect to the Debt, (iii) fees and
expenses associated with the organization and operation of
Borrower (such as tax return preparation, fees and expenses of
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, asset
management fees and other similar expenses which are not
included in the definition of Operating Expenses), and (iv)
capital expenditures of or benefiting the Project, provided,
however, that after the making of any Operating Deficit
Advance or Capitalized Interest Advance to Borrower pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, such capital expenditures
(exclusive of Tenant Improvements made pursuant to an Approved
Lease) shall be limited to the amount which is the greater of
(a) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) in the
aggregate per any period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar
months commencing on or after the date of such Operating
Deficit Advance or Capitalized Interest Advance or (b) such
other amount as may be approved by Lender in writing.
(b) No Equity Distributions. Borrower shall not make any
distribution to its members other than as payment for services
rendered currently upon arms' length terms and conditions
approved by Lender.
7.18 Leases. Each lease that is to be used in leasing any of the Real
Property shall be subject to Lender's prior written approval which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Each such lease shall have been entered into by the Borrower in good
faith and at arm's length. Borrower shall assign to Lender in the
Assignment all of its right, title and interest in and to all Leases
and rents relating to the Improvements at the Project and shall execute
and deliver to Lender written assignments thereof in form satisfactory
to Lender. Upon request of Lender, which request shall not be made more
frequently than once during each calendar year unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender individual
estoppel certificates from all Tenants under such Leases certifying:
(a) that the leased premises have been completed to the satisfaction of
that Tenant, (b) that the lease is in full force and effect and there
are no existing defaults to the knowledge of that Tenant, (c) the date
upon which the term of the lease commenced and the date to which
rentals have been paid, (d) that there are no setoffs or counterclaims
against the rent payments and no credits against the rent payments
except as set forth in the Lease, (e) that the Lease has not been
amended or modified and there are no representations, warranties,
understandings or agreements pertaining to the subject matter thereof
other than as expressly stated in the written lease, and (f) that the
Tenant has no knowledge of any prior assignment or pledge of the lease
or of rentals thereunder.
19
20
Anything in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender's
prior approval shall not be required for any Lease of less than 20,000
square feet of rentable space which (i) is in a form substantially
similar to the most current form of Lease used by Borrower which has
been provided to Lender, (ii) provides for rental in an amount not less
than $15.00 per square foot per year, and (iii) will not require
Borrower to finance tenant improvements for such Lease under the Loan.
Lender shall indicate its approval or disapproval of a proposed Lease
within ten (10) Business Days of Borrower's furnishing to Lender of the
proposed form of Lease, a proposed term sheet showing all essential
terms and any substantive changes to the form of Lease, financial
information regarding the Tenant and such other information as Lender
shall promptly and reasonably request with respect to such Lease and
the Tenant. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to provide such
approval or disapproval of such Lease as soon as practicable after it
receives the required information. Lender's failure to respond within
ten (10) Business Days shall be deemed Lender's approval of such
proposed Lease in substantially the form provided to Lender, subject
only to changes specifically stated in the term sheet provided to
Lender and other changes consistent with Borrower's customary leasing
practices. In the event that any business term or other material
substantive provision of any proposed Lease is different from that
previously provided to Lender, Lender shall have an additional ten (10)
Business Days after receipt of such term or provision to disapprove
such Lease. Lender agrees to sign a Subordination, Attornment and
Non-Disturbance Agreement at Borrower's request in form substantially
identical to the form attached hereto as Exhibit "G", upon delivery to
Lender of such form executed by all other parties thereto, with respect
to any approved (or deemed approved) Leases.
7.19 Year 2000 Compliance. Borrower will promptly notify Lender in the
event Borrower discovers or determines that any computer application
(including those of its suppliers and vendors) that is material to its
business and operations will not be Year 2000 compliant on a timely
basis, except to the extent that such failure could not reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower, its businesses
or assets.

sell any items of tangible personal property provided that in
connection with any sale of an item acquired at a cost in excess of Ten
Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($10,000.00), Borrower shall simultaneously
with or prior to such sale, either (i) replace said item with an item
of a value substantially equal to that of the item being sold and which
replacement item shall be free from any title retention or security
interest or other encumbrance except to the extent permitted pursuant
to Paragraph 8.4 above; or (ii) deliver any net cash proceeds received
from such disposition promptly to Lender to be applied to the principal
balance of the Note without charge for prepayment.

paid by Borrower.
1.2B Debt Redemption Fee: Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00) payable
semi-annually in arrears [for a maximum fee of Two Hundred Forty
Thousand Dollars ($240,000.00)]. The first semi-annual payment shall be
prepaid at Loan Closing. If the Note is prepaid prior to maturity, this

shall not be prorated regardless of when the Loan is prepaid).
1.2C Servicing and Administration Fee. Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00)
per annum, in advance, payable by Borrower at Loan Closing, and again
one (1) year after the date hereof. If the Note is prepaid prior to
maturity, this fee shall be prorated on a monthly basis and the
overpayment thereof shall be refunded to Borrower (or credited against
the Note payoff amount).
1.2D Unused Commitment Fee: 0.25% per annum of the amount by which
$12,000,000.00 exceeds the total Advances made to Borrower, to be
calculated based upon the average daily ratio of the unfunded portion

actual/360-day year basis and paid quarterly in arrears on the first
day of the following calendar month commencing September 1, 1999.
1.2E Maximum Lease Advance Amount: An amount for any Lease calculated as
follows subject to adjustment by Lender as it deems reasonably
necessary to address any changes in the rental terms over the life of
the relevant Lease:
(a) The product of (i)(x) the weighted average annual rental rate under
the lease, calculated on a per square foot basis, minus (y) the then
current annual Operating Expenses of the Project, calculated on a per
square foot basis, minus (z) one year's amortization of tenant
improvement costs and leasing commissions paid by Borrower in
connection with such lease as amortized over the initial term of the
lease, calculated on a per square foot basis, times (ii) the number of
rentable square feet leased to the tenant pursuant to such lease;
minus
(b) The reserve requirement, calculated as the product of $0.20 times
the number of rentable square feet leased to the tenant pursuant to
such lease;
and dividing (a) minus (b) by
(c) Ten percent (10%),
31
32
such that the Maximum Lease Advance Amount = (a-b)/(c).
For the purpose of the foregoing calculation, Operating Expenses shall
not include: (i) fees and expenses payable by the Borrower to the
manager of the Borrower; (ii) asset management fees; (iii) tax return
preparation fees; (iv) fees and expenses associated with filings by the
Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (v) other
similar expenses which relate to the operation of the Borrower
exclusive of the operation and management of the Project.
OR.
Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per rentable square foot whichever is less;
OR
Such greater amount as Lender may reasonably determine.
Example:
Assumptions:
- 5,000 square feet of leased space
- $15.00 per square foot per annum gross rent
- $7.00 per square foot per annum expenses
- Calculation of Maximum Lease Advance Amount
(a) 5,000 x ($15.00-$7.00) = $40,000.00
(b) $40,000.00 - (5,000 x $0.20) = $39,000.00
(c) $39,000.00 / .10 = $390,000.00 Maximum Lease Advance
Amount

CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR SUBSEQUENT ADVANCES
(CONSTRUCTION-RELATED ADVANCES)
1. Lender Approval of Lease. Prior to the commencement
of construction of any Tenant Improvements, any part of
the construction of which is to be financed with any
Subsequent Advance, Borrower shall submit to Lender for
approval (a) a Lease for the premises on which any
Tenant Improvements are to be constructed (to the extent
not previously approved), (b) the Budget for the Tenant
Improvements, (c) the Contract Documents for the Tenant
Improvements and (d) all plans and specifications for
the Tenant Improvements. Lender shall be under no
obligation to make any Subsequent Advance until Lender
has approved such Lease (including, without limitation,
the identity and financial condition of the Tenant) or
such lease is deemed approved, and until Lender has
approved the Budget, Contract Documents and plans and
specifications, in Lender's discretion, not to be
unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed.
2. Construction of Tenant Improvements. Borrower shall
(i) construct or, if the Tenant is obligated to
construct Tenant Improvements under the Lease, cause the
Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements in good and
workmanlike manner and substantially in accordance with
the Contract Documents, (ii) commence, or cause to be
commenced, construction promptly as required under the
related Approved Lease, and (iii) once construction of
the Tenant Improvements has commenced, pursue or cause
to be pursued such construction diligently to completion
and complete such construction substantially in
accordance with the relevant Construction Schedule
subject to force majeure. Borrower shall construct or
cause to be constructed such Tenant Improvements in
accordance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations of appropriate governmental authorities, so
as not to encroach upon any easement, right-of-way or
land of others and so as not to violate any setback
lines, applicable public or private use restrictions or
other restrictions or regulations.
3. Subsequent Advance Procedures and Request for
Disbursement.
(a) If Borrower is obligated to construct the
Tenant Improvements under any Lease or finance the
construction thereof, Borrower shall prepare and
submit to Lender a
C-1
37
Request for Disbursement for each Subsequent
Advance with regard to such Tenant Improvements,
but no more often than once per month. No Request
for Disbursement, except the final Request for
Disbursement with respect to the Tenant
Improvements for any Lease, shall be for an amount
less than $200,000.00 except to the extent the
aggregate cost for such improvements is less than
$200,000.00, in which event Borrower may request
such lesser amount. Each Request for Disbursement
shall be delivered to Lender not less than ten (10)
Business Days prior to the requested Subsequent
Advance Date and shall be accompanied by the
following:
(1) all information and documentation required
by this Agreement;
(2) evidence that all conditions of this
Agreement required to be satisfied prior to
such Subsequent Advance have been satisfied or
waived; and
(3) such additional information, affidavits,
certificates and other documents as may be
reasonably required by Lender for making the
Subsequent Advance; provided, however, that
lien waivers with respect to payments to
contractors to be financed with the proceeds
of such Advance may be conditional lien
waivers.
Within seven (7) Business Days of Lender's receipt of the Request for
Disbursement, Lender will approve or disapprove the Request for Disbursement.
Lender will review and consider approval of all Requests for Disbursement
submitted by Borrower in good faith. In the event of disapproval, Lender will
also promptly notify Borrower of such disapproval and the basis therefor by
telephone (confirmed in writing). If the Request for Disbursement is approved by
Lender, Lender will pay the amount requested in such Request for Disbursement to
Borrower, or during the continuance of an Event of Default, directly to the
contractors and subcontractors to be paid under such Request for Disbursement,
less the applicable Retainage, on or before the requested Subsequent Advance
Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the
Request for Disbursement is not approved in its entirety, Lender shall disburse
approved amounts, but shall not be obligated to disburse any disapproved portion
of the Request for Disbursement until resolution of each basis for disapproval
to the satisfaction of Lender, although Lender may, in its sole discretion,
disburse all or any portion of the requested amount prior to such resolution.
Within ten (10) Business Days of the resolution of each basis for disapproval to
the reasonable satisfaction of Lender, Lender shall disburse the remaining
portion of the requested Subsequent Advance.
C-2
38
(b) No Subsequent Advances shall be approved for
materials purchased or to be purchased but not yet
installed or incorporated into the Tenant
Improvements.
(c) Lender may withhold for its own benefit 10% of
the Hard Costs of each approved Subsequent Advance
(the "Retainage"). The Retainage will be disbursed
upon substantial completion of the Tenant
Improvements to the extent the contractors and
subcontractors are then entitled to such amount
under the construction contracts. In Lender's
reasonable discretion, at Borrower's request, the
Retainage may be reduced to an amount less than 10%
of Hard Costs, provided that Lender's agreement to
such reduction in any one case shall not be
construed to require Lender to so consent in any
other case.
4. Additional Conditions Precedent to Subsequent
Advances. The obligations of Lender hereunder to approve
and make each Subsequent Advance subject to this Exhibit
C-1 shall be subject to the following conditions
precedent:
(i) Request for Disbursement. Requests
for Subsequent Advances shall be

Approved Lease broken down on a line item
basis and compared with the related

and such other agreements, instruments,
documents and certificates as may be
reasonably required by Lender, including,
without limitation, all such items
related to Borrower's expenditure of the

C-3
39
Borrower regarding the foregoing may be
based on Borrower's reasonable inquiry.
(ii) Architect's Certificate. If required
by Lender, Lender shall have received
such certificates from Borrower's

Specifications and applicable law, the
amount of the Advance requested
represents work in place based on on-site
observations and the data comprising the
Draw Request, the work has progressed as
indicated and the applicable contractor
is entitled to payment of the amount
certified.
(iii) No Events of Default. As of the
date of the Request for Disbursement and
the date of the Subsequent Advance, there
shall have been no Event of Default, and
no event shall exist which by notice,
passage of time or both would constitute
an Event of Default under this Agreement.
(iv) Notices, Applications and Filings.

required by any governmental authority in
connection with the related Tenant
Improvements shall have been duly filed.
(v) Certifications and Governmental
Approvals. Evidence satisfactory to

without limitation, an affidavit of

all

40
contractors, subcontractors, suppliers,
materialmen and vendors entitled thereto
in connection with the related Tenant
Improvements; provided, however, that
lien waivers with respect to payments to
contractors to be financed with the
proceeds of such Advance may be
conditional lien waivers.
5. Special Conditions for Final Advance. In addition to
the requirements set forth in the preceding Paragraph,
the obligation of Lender to make the final Advance with
respect to Tenant Improvements financed by Borrower for
any particular Lease is also conditioned upon the
receipt by Lender of the following:

all appropriate governmental authorities

occupancy of the related Tenant
Improvements, to the extent required
under applicable law.
(ii) Completion Certificates. A
certificate to Lender by Borrower
certifying (i) a final certificate of use
and occupancy of the Tenant Improvements
has been issued; and (ii) covering such

of Borrower regarding the foregoing may
be based upon Borrower's reasonable
inquiry.
(iii) Borrower's Affidavit; Borrower's
Certification.
(A) An affidavit of Borrower stating
that each person providing any
material or performing any work in
connection with the premises has
been (or if applicable, will be,
with the proceeds of and immediately
following receipt by Borrower of
such final Loan Advance) paid in
full or bonded (or funds have been
or will be, from the proceeds of the
Final
C-5
41
Advance, reserved therefor) to the
satisfaction of Lender, and that all
withholding taxes have been paid and
lien waivers have been (or if
applicable, will be, with the
proceeds of and immediately
following receipt by Borrower of
such final Advance) obtained from
all contractors, material
subcontractors and material
suppliers who have performed work or
supplied materials in connection
with the construction of the Tenant
Improvements and who have lien
rights, and covering such other
matters as Lender may reasonably
require. If the work is not to be
performed by Borrower, the affidavit
of Borrower regarding the foregoing
may be based upon Borrower's
reasonable inquiry.
(B) A certificate from Borrower to
Lender stating that (a) the Tenant
Improvements have been completed
substantially in accordance with the
Contract Documents subject to
customary punch-list items, (b)
Borrower and the Tenant have
accepted the Tenant Improvements as

Loan Advance to those persons and/or
entities described in the Request
for Disbursement with respect to
such Advance, Lender shall have
satisfied all of its obligations
under this Agreement to disburse
Advances under the Loan with respect
to such Lease and, without affecting
Borrower's continuing
representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements and
obligations hereunder, Lender shall
have no further duties or
obligations under this Agreement to
C-6
42
disburse Advances with respect to
such Lease. If the work is not to be
performed by Borrower, the affidavit
of Borrower regarding the foregoing
may be based upon Borrower's
reasonable inquiry.
(C) Upon reasonable request by
Lender, copies of all documents,
instruments and agreements and all
insurance policies and certificates

any Contract Document together with
any other evidence reasonably
required by Lender that the Tenant
Improvements have been substantially
completed in accordance with the
Contract Documents in compliance
with all Requirements of
Governmental Authority and free of
all liens.
6. Method of Subsequent Advance. Any Subsequent Advance
made by Lender, or so much thereof as Lender may
consider proper, may be disbursed at Lender's option to
Borrower or its order or, at Lender's election, in the
case of Tenant Improvements to be constructed by
Borrower under any Lease, after an Event of Default,
directly to the applicable general contractor, or to the
persons furnishing labor, materials and/or services in
connection with the Improvements. Lender shall have no
obligation to see that the Advances made by it to
Borrower or any designee of Borrower are actually used
by that party to pay for labor and materials furnished
for construction of the Tenant Improvements. Borrower
acknowledges that this determination is its
responsibility, and Borrower assumes all risks in
connection with any Advance made pursuant to this
paragraph.
7. Withholding Advances. Lender shall have no obligation
to require and/or obtain lien waivers or receipts, and,
although Lender may require presentation to it of lien
waivers and/or receipts, Lender shall have no
responsibility for the validity thereof nor for the
correctness of the amounts indicated thereon. No Advance
by Lender shall constitute approval of any certification
or relieve any person making such certification of
responsibility therefor.
8. Change Orders; Payment of Additional Costs; In
Balance.
C-7
43
(i) All Change Orders which individually
or in the aggregate for Tenant
Improvements, which are to be paid for by
Borrower under any Lease exceed
$25,000.00 are subject to the prior
consent of Lender not to be unreasonably
withheld. Lender shall have the right to
impose a reasonable fee for its review of
Change Orders, which fee shall be based
on the nature of the requested change. At
the time Borrower requests Lender's
consent to a Change Order, Borrower must
also notify Lender whether Borrower
intends to pay for all or a portion of
the additional costs resulting from such
Change Order, if any, or desires that
Lender fund all or a portion of such
additional costs through Advances. Lender
shall have the right, but not the
obligation, in its sole discretion, to
fund all or a portion of amounts required
to complete the Tenant Improvements in
excess of the Buildout Price due to
Change Orders. If Lender elects to fund
all or a portion of such excess amounts,
such amounts funded will be advanced as
Subsequent Advances in accordance with
this Agreement and included in the
Buildout Price for purposes of
calculating the amount of the Loan. If
Lender does not elect to fund all or a
portion of such excess amounts, Borrower
shall immediately deposit funds with
Lender equal to the portion of the excess
amounts Lender will not fund, and Lender
shall disburse such deposited funds
toward payment of the Buildout Price
prior to the Advance of any further funds
under the Loan, subject to the
satisfaction of the requirements for
making Subsequent Advances set forth in
this Agreement.
(ii) Borrower agrees to execute such
amendments to the Note and related
documents, as Lender shall require to
evidence the inclusion of additional
amounts
C-8
44
funded by Lender pursuant to this Section
in the Loan.
(iii) If Lender shall reasonably
determine that the Schedule of Values
and/or the Budget is not "in balance" as
provided in this subsection, Lender may,
at its option, refuse to make or approve
further Advances and may require Borrower
to deposit with Lender cash or other
security acceptable to Lender in its sole
discretion in such amount as Lender deems
necessary to put the Schedule of Values
and/or the Budget "in balance." No funds
of Lender shall be disbursed until all
sums deposited by Borrower have been
disbursed. The Schedule of Values and/or
the Budget shall be "in balance" only at
such times that Lender determines, in its
sole and reasonable judgment, that the
moneys available to Borrower for the
payment or reimbursement of (1) the total
costs of constructing the Tenant
Improvements as set forth in the Budget
are at least equal to the amount that
must be expended in order to complete the
Tenant Improvements and to pay all costs
and other expenses contemplated
hereunder, and (2) unexpended amounts
within each category or line item in the
Schedule of Values and/or the Budget are
at least equal to the amount of costs
that must be expended to pay each
category or line item. Any costs listed
as contingencies on the Schedule of
Values and/or the Budget shall be deemed
to be actual costs for the purposes of
balancing. The determination as to
whether the Schedule of Values and/or the
Budget is "in balance" may be made by
Lender at any time, including in
connection with any Request for
Disbursement. Within ten (10) Business
Days following notice from Lender that
the Schedule of Values and/or the Budget
is not "in balance," Borrower shall make
the deposit required to be made pursuant
to this subsection. Any such
C-9
45
amounts deposited with Lender shall be
the next funds disbursed by Lender,
subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.
9. Mechanics' and Materialmen Liens.
(i) Borrower will certify, or cause the
general contractor, if any, to certify,
to Lender upon request at any time, and
from time to time, as to all materialmen,
laborers, subcontractors, suppliers and
any other parties who might or could
claim statutory or common law liens as a
result of furnishing material or labor to
the Premises or any portion thereof or
interest therein, together with evidence
satisfactory to Lender showing that such
parties have been paid (or will be paid
from the Subsequent Advances) all amounts
then due for labor and materials. In
addition, Borrower will provide or cause
to be provided to Lender, promptly upon
Lender's request, copies of any
preliminary notice or notice, written or
oral, from any laborer, subcontractor,
materialman or supplier to the effect
that said laborer, subcontractor,
materialman or supplier has not been paid
when due or intends to or has filed any
mechanics lien for any labor or materials
furnished in connection with the
construction of the Tenant Improvements.
(ii) If, during the construction of the
Tenant Improvements, a lien is filed
against the Project for work performed on
or goods and/or services provided to the
Project, and if Borrower is not then in
breach or default of this Agreement,
Borrower shall have thirty (30) Business
Days after Lender's request that the lien
be released from the applicable real
property records or that Borrower post a
bond or provide an indemnity satisfactory
to Lender to cause the same to be
accomplished. If Borrower fails to so
cause such lien to be released or to post
such a bond or deliver such an
C-10
46
indemnity, such failure shall be an Event
of Default under this Agreement and shall
entitle Lender to exercise the remedies
set forth in Section 10.2.
10. Inspection, Audits and Information Regarding Tenant
Improvements and Construction Component Advances.
(i) Borrower shall permit Lender and its
representatives and agents, to enter upon
the Real Property at all times during
normal business hours and at other times
upon not less than 24 hours prior written
notice and to inspect the Tenant
Improvements and all materials to be used
in the construction thereof, and shall
cooperate and cause the general
contractor, if any, to cooperate with
Lender and its representatives and
agents, during such inspections,
including making available to Lender
working copies of the Contract Documents
together with all related supplementary
materials.
(ii) Borrower shall permit Lender and its
representatives and agents, to examine,
copy and make extracts of the books,
records, accounting data and other
documents of Borrower that relate to
compliance with the terms of this Exhibit
including, without limitation, all
permits, licenses, consents and approvals
of all governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over Borrower or the
Project. All such books, records and
documents shall be made available to
Lender, and its representatives and
agents promptly upon written demand
therefor; and, at the request of Lender,
Borrower shall furnish Lender and its
representatives and agents with
convenient facilities for the foregoing
purpose.
(iii) It is expressly understood and
agreed that Lender shall have no duty to
supervise or to inspect the construction
of any Tenant Improvements or any books,
records, drawings, permits or approvals
concerning
C-11
47
the construction of such Tenant
Improvements, and that any such
inspection or review shall be for the
sole purpose of determining whether or
not the obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement are being properly
discharged and of preserving Lender's
rights hereunder or under the Contract
Documents. If Lender or its agents should
inspect the construction of the Tenant
Improvements or any books and records,
Lender and its agents shall have no
liability or obligation to Borrower or
any third party arising out of such
inspection. A review or inspection not
followed by a notice of an Event of
Default shall not constitute a waiver of
any default then existing; nor shall it
constitute an acknowledgment or
representation by Lender that there has
been or will be compliance with the
Contract Documents, that the construction
is free from defects in materials or
workmanship, or that there has been a
waiver of Lender's right thereafter to
insist that any Tenant Improvements be
constructed in accordance with the
Contract Documents. Lender's failure to
inspect the construction of the Tenant
Improvements or any part thereof or any
books, records, drawings, permits and
approvals related to the construction of
the Tenant Improvements shall not
constitute a waiver of any of Lender's
rights hereunder. Neither Borrower nor
any third party shall be entitled to rely
upon any inspection or review undertaken
by Lender, and Lender owes no duty of
care to Borrower or any third person to
protect against, or inform Borrower or
any third person of the existence of,
negligent, faulty, unlawful, inadequate
or defective design or construction of
the Tenant Improvements.
11. Insurance. In addition to the insurance requirements
Borrower is otherwise obligated under this Agreement to
satisfy, Borrower shall obtain and maintain the
following insurance:
C-12
48
(i) Architect's Insurance. An architect's
professional liability insurance policy
obtained by Borrower's Architect, if any,
in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00
per occurrence. Evidence of such
insurance shall be delivered to Lender.
(ii) General Contractor's Liability
Insurance. General contractor's liability
insurance policy in an amount not less
than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence.
Evidence of such insurance shall be
delivered to Lender.
Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any
insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall reimburse Lender for any
reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an
Appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a fire or other casualty affecting the
Land or the Tenant Improvements which Lender reasonably believes has a material
adverse effect on the value of the Project).
12. Representations and Warranties of Borrower. The
following representations and warranties, to the extent
applicable, shall be deemed made by Borrower as of the
date of each submission of a Request for Disbursement by
Borrower:
(i) Approval of Contract Documents;
General Contract. The Contract Documents
have been approved by Borrower and, to
the extent required by applicable law or
any effective restrictive covenant, each
governmental authority and the
beneficiaries of each such covenant
respectively. The general contract
provides for the construction of the
Tenant Improvements for a stipulated
amount or guaranteed maximum price.
(ii) Compliance With Laws. The design,
layout and anticipated use of the Tenant
Improvements complies with or will comply
with in all material respects, by the
Completion Date, all applicable zoning
ordinances, regulations and restrictive
covenants affecting the leased premises
and all other requirements of any
governmental
C-13
49
authority and all requirements for such
use have been or will have been satisfied
by the Completion Date.
(iii) Licenses; Permits. Borrower has
obtained all licenses, permits,
authorizations, consents and approvals
from governmental authorities and/or
third parties necessary to commence
construction of the Tenant Improvements,
such licenses, permits, authorizations
and consents are in full force and effect
and will be maintained in full force and
effect throughout construction of the
Tenant Improvements, and Borrower has no
reason to believe that all licenses,
permits, certifications and approvals
with respect to the Tenant Improvements
to be issued subsequent to the date of
this Agreement will not be issued in the
ordinary course of business. In addition
to those licenses, permits,
certifications and approvals which are
required to commence construction of the
Tenant Improvements, Borrower shall
timely obtain and maintain all other
licenses, permits, certifications and
approvals required to construct or
complete the Tenant Improvements. On or
before the Completion Date, Borrower
shall have obtained from each
governmental authority all licenses,
permits, authorizations, consents and
approvals necessary for the occupancy and
operation of the Tenant Improvements for
their intended purpose, and as of the
Completion Date such licenses, permits,
authorizations, consents and approvals
will be in full force and effect.
(iv) Lien Potential. Borrower has made no
material contract or arrangement of any
kind which has given rise to, or the
performance of which by the other party
thereto would give rise to, a lien or
claim of lien on the Premises, except for
its arrangements with Borrower's
Architect, general contractor and
contractors or
C-14
50
subcontractors which have been disclosed
to Lender and the purchase money
financing permitted pursuant to paragraph
8.4 of the Agreement.
(v) No Defaults. To Borrower's knowledge,
there exist no defaults under this
Agreement, the Note or any of the
documents executed in connection with the
Note, and no event has occurred and is
continuing which with notice or the
passage of time or both would constitute
a default under this Agreement or any of
such documents.
(vi) Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties of
Borrower in the Note, any other Loan
Documents, and in any certificates or
other instruments delivered pursuant
thereto are incorporated herein by
reference as though fully set forth.
(vii) Other Financing. Borrower
represents that it does not require and
agrees that it will not avail itself of
any other debt financing in connection
with the Project without the prior
written consent of Lender excluding trade
payables and accruals in the ordinary
course of business and the purchase money
financing permitted pursuant to paragraph
8.4 of the Agreement.
13. Retention of Lender's Inspector.
(i) Lender may retain, at Lender's sole
cost and expense, an architectural/
engineering firm ("Lender's Inspector")
to review the work-related items, the
Contract Documents, permits, licenses and
the Budget and any changes to such items;
inspect the Premises prior to
commencement of the work for purposes of
determining the condition of the Premises
and any existing Tenant Improvements;
make periodic inspections of the Premises
during normal business hours and at other
times upon not
C-15
51
less than 24 hours prior written notice
and the work so that Lender may monitor
whether Borrower is in compliance with
the terms and conditions hereof, and
certifying that each Request for
Disbursement is not in excess of the work
completed and the amount to which
Borrower is entitled under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Lender may
also require an inspection of the Work by
Lender's Inspector: (a) prior to each
Subsequent Advance; (b) at least once
each month during the course of
completion of the work; (c) upon
substantial completion; and (d) at such
other time as Lender may, in its
reasonable judgment, deem necessary due
to actual or suspected non-compliance
with the plans and specifications,
Contract Documents, any law, regulation
or private restriction, sound
architectural, engineering or
construction principles or commonly
accepted safety standards; or Borrower's
failure to satisfy the requirements
hereof. In exercising such rights, Lender
shall not unreasonably interfere with
Borrower's construction of the Tenant
Improvements.
(ii) Lender shall have no duty to
supervise or to review and inspect the
work, the Contract Documents, permits,
licenses, the Budget, any books and
records pertaining thereto or any changes
to such items or the construction of the
work. Any inspection made by Lender shall
be for the sole purpose of determining
whether the Obligations are being
performed and preserving Lender's rights
hereunder. If Lender, or Lender's
Inspector acting on behalf of Lender,
should review or inspect the work, the
Contract Documents, permits, licenses,
the Budget, any books and records
pertaining thereto or any changes to such
items or the construction of the work,
Lender and Lender's Inspector shall have
no liability or obligation to Borrower or
any third person arising out of such
inspection;
C-16
52
and neither Borrower nor any third person
shall be entitled to rely upon any such
inspection or review. Inspection not
followed by notice of default shall not
constitute (1) waiver of any default then
existing; (2) an acknowledgment or
representation by Lender or Lender's
Inspector that there has been or will be
compliance with the Contract Documents,
permits, licenses, the Budget, applicable
laws, regulations and private
restrictions, sound construction,
engineering or architectural principles
or commonly accepted safety standards, or
that the construction is lien free or
free from defective materials or
workmanship; or (3) a waiver of Lender's
right thereafter to insist that
completion of the work occur in
accordance with the Contract Documents,
permits, licenses, the Budget, applicable
laws, regulations and restrictions, sound
construction, engineering or
architectural principles or commonly
safety standards and free from defective
materials and workmanship. Lender and
Lender's Inspector owe no duty of care to
Borrower or any third person to protect
against, or inform Borrower or any third
person of, the existence of negligence,
faulty, inadequate or defective design or
construction of the Work.
14. Satisfaction of Conditions. Although Lender shall
have no obligation to make any Subsequent Advance unless
and until all of the conditions and prior performances
set forth herein have been kept, fulfilled or performed,
and until all inspections, certifications, releases,
waivers, or paid bills or other requirements set forth
herein have been made, delivered and complied with,
Lender, at its sole discretion, may make Advances prior
to that time without waiving or releasing any of the
requirements or conditions of this Agreement; but
Borrower shall continue to be strictly obligated and
subject thereto, and all such conditions, prior
performances and other requirements shall nevertheless
be strictly and punctually complied with, fulfilled and
performed; and, notwithstanding any such Advance,
Lender, at its sole discretion, may discontinue any
C-17
