 SECTION 2: RECITALS. 
  
 Borrower has applied to Lender for a Loan to acquire and develop, by constructing thereon lots suitable for the construction
of single family residences, the Real Property. Lender is willing to make the Loan to Borrower on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 SECTION 3: THE LOAN. 
  
 3.1 Amount of the Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender agrees to make a loan (“Loan”) to
Borrower in a principal amount of XX Dollars ($XX,000) (the “Loan Amount”), Lender’s disbursement of which is subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. The Loan Amount shall be disbursed in accordance with
Lender’s instructions to the Title Company. From XX and after the XX (notwithstanding that the Effective Date shall be a later date) the entire Loan Amount (whether paid to, or on behalf of, Borrower or held by the Disbursement Agent) shall
bear interest at the rate set forth in the Note until fully repaid to Lender. 
  
 3.2 Increase in Loan Amount. From the Effective Date through and including XX, Lender and USA shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to increase the Loan Amount to an amount not to exceed XX
($XX ). All amounts that Lender may advance after the Effective Date shall increase the Loan Amount and be used for the following purposes: (i) to repay certain of the notes secured by the Senior Encumbrances, such that the Senior Encumbrances
securing those notes shall be reconveyed, (ii) to pay the loan fees due with regard to such advance, and (iii) to fund the Interest Reserve (defined below). In the event of any such increase, Lender shall determine which of the Senior Encumbrances
it wishes to have reconveyed. Upon each increase in the Loan Amount, Borrower shall execute amendments to the Note and the Deed of Trust which shall memorialize the increase in the Loan Amount, the change in the identity of the persons and entities
which comprise Lender and their respective undivided interests in the Loan. Upon the recordation of the amendment(s) to the Deed of Trust, the Title Company shall issue to Lender, at Borrower’s expense, an endorsement or endorsements to the
Title Policy which shall (i) insure the continued priority of the Deed of Trust, including the deletion of the Senior Encumbrances that were reconveyed, and that the additional advance is secured thereby, (ii) reflect the increase in the face amount
of the policy corresponding to the increase in the Loan Amount, and (iii) set forth the change in the identity of the insured lenders and their respective undivided interests in the Loan. Upon any such additional advance, a portion thereof shall be
deposited into the Interest Reserve (defined below) for the Loan. Nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by Lender or USA to fund to Borrower any more than the initial Loan Amount. 
  
 3.3 Interest Reserve. The Title Company shall disburse a portion of the Loan Amount, as reasonably determined by
Lender, to the Disbursement Agent to be held as interest reserve for the benefit of Lender (the “Interest Reserve”). Disbursement Agent shall hold and disburse the Interest Reserve in accordance with the Control Account Escrow Agreement.
As additional advances are made, as provided in Section 3.2 above, a portion of such advances, the 
  

 10.1-7 







 amount of which shall be reasonably determined by Lender, shall be deposited into the Interest Reserve. Interest accrued
on the Note Amount shall be paid from the Interest Reserve upon presentation of a monthly interest statement by Lender, without the necessity of any instruction or request from Borrower. Except as provided in this paragraph, the funds in the
Interest Reserve shall never be used for any other purpose without the express written consent of Lender. Depletion of the Interest Reserve shall not release Borrower from any of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, including but
not limited to the obligation to pay interest accruing under the Note. After depletion of the Interest Reserve, or so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all interest payments under the Note shall be made by Borrower using
its own funds; provided that Lender, at its option and in its sole discretion, may obtain disbursements from the Interest Reserve notwithstanding such Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire balance of the Interest
Reserve shall be paid to Lender upon demand and applied to the then outstanding balance of the Loan. 
  
 3.4 Disbursements. 
  
 (a) The Initial Advance shall be made in accordance with instructions that Lender shall deliver to the Title Company. 
  
 (b) Construction Disbursements. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the Loan funds remaining from the Initial Advance shall be held in the Control Account, and disbursed therefrom in accordance with this Agreement. Disbursement Agent, upon satisfaction of the requirements of the Disbursement Schedule, shall then
disburse such funds from the Control Account for the payment of such costs. The funds disbursed by the Lender to the Control Account shall thereafter comprise the Control Account Funds. Unless Lender otherwise agrees: 
  
 (i) the principal amount of each Disbursement shall not be less than XX
Thousand Dollars ($XX,000), or an amount equal to the Undisbursed Construction Funds: 
  
 (ii) no more than two Disbursements shall be made in any calendar month; 
  
 (iii) Disbursements shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Disbursement Schedule and the Control Account Escrow Agreement; 
  
 (iv) Disbursement Agent shall make no Disbursement from the Control Account
Funds for any cost expended or incurred by Borrower on any real property (x) not owned by Borrower, or (y) on which the Deed of Trust is not a first priority lien. 
  
 The proceeds of the Loan shall be used solely to pay or reimburse Borrower for Project Costs described in the Approved Budgets and the
Disbursement Schedule. The total amount disbursed for each item of Project Cost described in the Approved Budgets shall not exceed the applicable amounts set forth in the Approved Budgets. If Borrower is not required to pay, for any reason, any
amount earned by any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, supplier or any other Person who has furnished labor, services, equipment, or material to the Project, then Borrower shall not request a Disbursement for such amount until such time as
Borrower is required to pay such amounts. 
  

 10.1-8 







 (c) Procedure for Disbursement. Not later than 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, at least five (5) Business
Days before a proposed Disbursement is to be made, Disbursement Agent shall have received a Request for Disbursement which shall indicate the amount of the Disbursement. Upon compliance with all of the above-referenced conditions and the conditions
set forth in Section 4 and the Disbursement Schedule, Disbursement Agent shall cause disbursement to be made from the Control Account in the manner provided herein on the date requested. Lender may, at its option and in its sole discretion, waive
any such conditions as to any Disbursement, provided that any such waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any such conditions as to any subsequent Disbursements. 
  
 (d) Lender’s Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to so disburse the funds to the Control Account. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be
necessary to warrant Disbursement and such Disbursement shall satisfy the obligations of Lender hereunder and the amount hereof shall be, and continue to be, secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Security Documents, regardless of the
disposition of such funds by Borrower or Contractor. 
  
 (e)
Interest Reserve. The total interest reserve portion of the Control Account Funds shall be XX. Disbursement Agent shall pay an amount for interest from the Interest Reserve Account as billed by Lender monthly. Borrower shall pay the remainder
of the accrued interest for each month directly from its own funds. 
  
 (f) Excess Costs; Loan Balancing. As a material condition of the Loan and a condition precedent to the duty of Disbursement Agent to make any Disbursement, Borrower shall pay when invoiced all Project Costs. Except for the payment of
interest from the Interest Reserve Account and the payment of expenses, charges, costs, and fees pursuant to Section 6.14 and 8.11 hereof, Disbursement Agent may disburse proceeds of the Loan only when the Loan is “in balance.” The Loan
shall be “in balance” only at such times as Borrower has invested sufficient funds to the payment of Project Costs so that, in Lender’s sole judgment, the remaining Control Account Funds will be sufficient to fully complete and
operate the Improvements and pay all Project Costs therefor as they are incurred. The determination as to whether the Loan is “in balance” may be made by the Lender at any time, including with each request for a Disbursement. Borrower
shall, within five (5) days after notice from Lender that the Loan is not “in balance,” deposit with Disbursement Agent for the benefit of Lender, in cash, the amount necessary to put the Loan “in balance.” Any amounts which
Borrower deposits to put the Loan “in balance” shall be the next funds disbursed by Disbursement Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
  
 (g) Reserves. Regardless of anything contained herein to the contrary, at any time Borrower is in default hereunder,
Lender may, at its option, direct Disbursement Agent to establish reserves from the undisbursed portion of the Control Account Funds in such amounts 
  

 10.1-9 







 which, in Lender’s sole discretion, are necessary to complete the Improvements and sufficient to pay or satisfy or
comply with, in whole or in part, (i) any lien or claim relating to, or prejudicial to, the liens or security interests of Lender; (ii) any expenditure or allocation of funds shown on the Approved Budgets; and (iii) interest yet to accrue on the
Loan prior to the Maturity Date. The aggregate amount of any such reserves shall be deducted from the Control Account Funds otherwise available for advance. 
  
 3.5 Approved Budgets. Attached hereto as Exhibit “B” are line-item budgets for the construction of the Improvements. Borrower represents
and warrants that said budgets are based on information deemed reliable by Borrower and represent Borrower’s best estimate of all required Project Costs. The Approved Budgets shall include funds for construction costs and permit costs. Unless
Lender otherwise consents in writing, Borrower shall not supplement, modify, or amend the Approved Budgets. During the term of the Loan, Borrower may submit revised budgets to Lender for approval, in Lender’s sole discretion. Disbursement Agent
shall disburse the Control Account Funds to Borrower in strict accordance with the Approved Budgets. In the event Borrower requests a Disbursement which exceeds the line item therefor in the existing Approved Budget, then such excess payment shall
be made only according to Section 6.7 hereof. With the approval of Lender on each occasion, Borrower may reallocate amounts from line items in which it will have a cost savings to the “Contingency” line item of the Approved Budgets. Said
funds may then be used as provided in Section 6.7 hereof. 
  
 3.6
Security. The indebtedness evidenced by the Note, and all other indebtedness and obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, shall be secured by the Security Documents. The Environmental Indemnity and the Guaranties and the respective
obligations of any of Borrowers and the Guarantors under each shall be unsecured. 
  
 3.7 Repayment of the Loan. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the Note from the date set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, and shall be repaid per the terms of the
Note. The principal balance outstanding under the Note, and all accrued and unpaid interest not sooner paid when due under the Note, and all other indebtedness and obligations of Borrower owing under any and all of the Loan Documents shall be due
and payable in full on the Maturity Date. 
  
 3.8
Prepayment. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and any prepaid finance charges are fully earned as of the date they are paid and will not be subject to refund upon any early payment hereof (whether voluntarily or as a result of default).
Subject to the foregoing, Borrower may prepay the Loan, in full or in part, at any time; provided, however, that if Borrower repays the Loan within the first nine (9) months after the Effective Date (whether voluntarily or as a result of default),
then Borrower shall pay to Lender a prepayment fee equal to all interest which would accrue on the full Loan Amount during said nine (9) month period, less all interest previously paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, Lender
shall receive a minimum of nine (9) months’ interest on the full Loan Amount. 
  

 10.1-10 







 3.9 No Work on Real Property. Borrower acknowledges that, because the Deed of Trust may be amended
pursuant to Section 3.2 above, it is necessary that Borrower refrain from employing any contractors, laborers or materialmen to furnish any labor or materials to the Real Property prior
to                    , 1999. In the event any such labor is performed or material supplied, then Borrower shall provide to the Title
Company any documents or agreements, including indemnity agreements and any deposits required therewith, in order for the Title Company to insure the continued priority of the Deed of Trust. 
  
 3.10 Effective Date. Borrower and Lender agree that the date of the
Loan Documents is for reference purposes only and the effective date (“Effective Date”) of the delivery and the transfer to Lender of the security under the Loan Documents and of Borrower’s and Lender’s obligations under the Loan
Documents is the date of recordation of the Deed of Trust in the office of the County Recorder of the county where the Property is located. 
  
 3.11 Subordination. Lender hereby agrees that the Deed of Trust securing this Loan may be subordinated to a deed of trust (or deeds or trust)
securing a construction or development loan (or loans) on a lot or lots encumbered by the Deed of Trust provided that the amount of the construction or development loan (or loans) does not exceed 80% of the value of the property subject to the
construction loan (or loans). With respect to this provision, Lender acknowledges the following: 
  
 (a) development loans may be necessary to complete the construction of lots or infrastructure (such as sidewalks, streets or utilities); construction
loans may be necessary to complete the construction of homes on the lots; without either or both of which the lots are difficult to sell, and are not likely to produce as much cash flow; 
  
 (b) the term “value of the property” as used in this section means the appraised value of the property (based on
actual sales of homes within the subdivision, whenever possible); and 
  
 (c) depending on the amount of the construction or development loan, and the value of the property without the construction as compared to with the construction, the subordination of this Loan to a construction or development loan could
either increase, decrease, or leave unchanged the value of the property securing this Loan, which outcome would depend, among other things, on whether the construction was actually completed; and 
  
 (d) a subordination of the Deed of Trust results in Lender’s security
interest in the Property becoming subject to and of lower priority than the lien of some other or later security instrument. 
  
 Lender further agrees that USA may, pursuant to a limited power of attorney given in connection with this Loan, sign for subordinations consistent with
this section. 
  
 3.12 Yield Protection. If, after the date
of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not 
  

 10.1-11 







 having the force of law), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or the
compliance of the Lender therewith, 
  
 3.12 Yield
Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein, or any change
in the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance of the Lender therewith, 
  
 (a) subjects the Lender to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from Borrower (excluding taxation of the overall net income of the Lender), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to the
Lender in respect of its Loans or other amounts due it hereunder; or 
  
 (b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender; or 
  
 (c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost
to the Lender of making, funding or maintaining advances or reduces any amount receivable by the Lender in connection with advances, or requires the Lender to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of advances held or interest
received by it, by an amount deemed material by the Lender; 
  
 then, within
fifteen (15) days of demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay the Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred (including, in the case of clause (c), any reduction in the rate of return on capital to an amount below that which it could
have achieved but for such law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive and after taking into account the Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy) or reduction in an amount received which the Lender determines is attributable to
making, funding and maintaining the Loans.

Agreement (the “Endorsement”); 
  
 (c) If demanded by
Lender, and required by Title Company, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a copy of the ALTA survey prepared by Borrower, at Borrower’s sole expense, if the title insurer requires such in connection with the issuance of

 10.1-16 







 Provided that, notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions in this Section 4.3, Lender may withhold the final
Disbursement until the expiration of forty-five (45) days after the recording of a valid notice of completion (or, if no notice of completion has been recorded, ninety-five (95) days after actual completion) to assure that there can be no claims for
mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens against the Property with respect to the construction of the Improvements, or until Lender receives assurance satisfactory to it that there are and will be no such liens. Lender agrees that a CLTA Form
101.2 endorsement to the Title Policy, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, shall satisfy this requirement. 
  
 4.4 Cost Overruns. In the event that, for any reason, the actual cost reasonably determined by Lender or Borrower to assure completion of all
matters included in any line item in the Approved Budgets exceeds the amount allocated to such line item, Lender shall have no obligation to make further Disbursements until Borrower has paid or otherwise provided for the overrun as required under
Section 6.7(c). Amounts deposited by Borrower in the Overrun Account for any line item shall be held by Lender as collateral and disbursed by Lender prior any further Disbursement for that line item; provided, however, that Lender shall have no

Materials; 
  
 (c) if the Offsite Materials are stored in a place
other than the facility of the Offsite Supplier, a written statement from the bailee or other custodian acknowledging (i) Lender’s right to enter the storage site at reasonable times to inspect or remove the Offsite Materials, and (ii)
Lender’s first priority security interest in the Offsite Materials; 
  
 (d) Certificates of insurance showing the Offsite Materials to be insured as required hereunder and showing Lender as co-insured; and 
  
 (e) evidence that Borrower has paid all personal property taxes applicable to the Offsite Materials. 
  

 10.1-17 







 Lender need not make Disbursements for any Offsite Materials until Lender has inspected and approved the
Offsite Materials.

 SECTION 6: AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE COVENANTS. 
  
 Until payment of the Note in full and performance of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, unless Lender otherwise consents in writing: 
  
 6.1 Completion of Improvements. Borrower shall proceed with all due diligence to comply with the requirements set
forth in Section 5.10 above and to commence and complete construction of the Improvements. Borrower shall complete construction of the Improvements (as Completion of Construction is defined in Section 1.1) whether commenced prior to or after the
date hereof within XX days of commencement of construction. 
  
 6.2 Conformity with Improvement Plans and Other Requirements. Borrower agrees to construct the Improvements to conform to the Improvement Plans and all applicable Laws and other requirements, and in a good and workmanlike manner with
materials of good quality. If at any time construction of the Improvements does not conform to the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly give notice thereof to Lender, and Lender shall have the right to stop construction and order repair or
reconstruction in accordance with the same, and to withhold all further Disbursements until construction is in satisfactory compliance therewith. Upon notice from Lender to Borrower, or Borrower’s discovery irrespective of such notice, that
construction of the Improvements does not conform to the Improvement Plans or to all applicable Laws or other requirements, or is not in a good and workmanlike manner with materials of good quality, Borrower shall commence correcting 
  

 10.1-21 







 the deviation as soon as practical and in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days after such notice or discovery.
Borrower shall prosecute such work diligently to completion, which in no event shall be later than forty-five (45) calendar days after such notice or discovery. If Lender determines that the corrective work is not proceeding satisfactorily, Lender
may, upon not less than fifteen (15) calendar days’ notice to Borrower, take over such corrective work itself and prosecute it to completion at Borrower’s expense. 
  
 6.3 Encroachments. Borrower agrees that the Improvements shall be constructed entirely on the Property and will not
encroach upon or overhang any boundary, easement, right-of-way, or the land of others. 
  
 6.4 Compliance with Requirements. Borrower shall comply with all conditions, covenants, restrictions, leases, easements, reservations, rights and rights-of-way and all applicable Laws and other requirements
relating to the Property and the Project, and obtain all necessary approvals, consents, licenses and permits of any Governmental Agency, including without limitation those set forth in Section 5.10. 
  
 6.5 Completion of Offsite Improvements. Borrower represents and agrees
that all streets and offsite improvements adjacent to and serving the Property have been or shall be completed, and all utility services necessary for construction of the Improvements and the full utilization of the Property for its intended
purpose, including water, sewer, gas, electric, and telephone, have been or shall be completed and are available to the perimeter of the Property. 
  
 6.6 Change Orders. All Change Orders: 
  
 (a) shall be in writing, numbered in sequence, and signed by Borrower; 
  
 (b) shall be certified by Borrower and/or the Contractor to comply with all applicable Laws and other requirements;

  
 (c) shall contain an estimate by Borrower of the increase or
decrease in Project Costs that would result from the change (or, if the Change Order involves both changes increasing and decreasing estimated Project Costs, both the amount of the increase and the decrease shall be stated), as well as the aggregate
amount of changes in estimated Project Costs, both increases and decreases, previously made; 
  
 (d) shall be submitted to Lender prior to the proposed effectiveness thereof if Lender shall at any time in the future request that Change Orders be submitted to Lender in advance; 
  
 (e) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender where (i) the
increase or decrease in any item of Project Cost set forth in the Approved Budgets that each change or related change would cause equals at least the sum of $10,000, or (ii) Change Orders not previously approved involve an aggregate amount,
including both increases and decreases, of over $30,000; and 
  

 10.1-22 







 (f) both Borrower and Contractor certify the aggregate amount, including both increases and decreases, of
all changes in Project Costs reflected in Change Orders for which Lender’s written approval has not been obtained or has not been required hereunder. 
  
 If any Change Order requires Lender’s approval pursuant to subsection (e) of this section and involves a net increase in estimated Project Costs,
Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Disbursements until Borrower furnishes to Lender evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, that funds are available in the Approved Budgets or as a result of payment by Borrower from
Borrower’s own funds of Project Costs thereafter accruing in the total amount of such net increase. 
  
 6.7 Deficiency in Proceeds; Overruns. 
  
 (a) Borrower agrees to promptly notify Lender of any fact or circumstance that may render the Approved Budgets inaccurate with respect to the Project
Costs shown thereon. 
  
 (b) If at any time (including, without
limitation, any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default) Lender determines, in its discretion, that any Project Costs have exceeded or may exceed the amounts budgeted for such Project Costs in the Approved
Budgets, or that the Undisbursed Construction Funds are or may be insufficient to pay for the costs of completion of the Project and other costs and expenses, then Lender may, at its option, terminate further Disbursements until Borrower pays from
its own funds Project Costs then unpaid or thereafter accruing in an amount deemed necessary by Lender, and furnishes to Lender evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, of such payment. Borrower shall, upon demand by Lender, deposit
such amount into an account with Lender, in which case Lender shall disburse such amount prior to the disbursement of any remaining proceeds of the Loan. 
  
 (c) In the event that, for any reason, the Actual Line Item Cost for any line item in the Approved Budgets exceeds the Approved Line Item Cost for that
line item, Borrower shall, within fourteen (14) days after it learns (or receives notice from Lender) of the overrun, do one or more of the following: 
  
 (i) provide satisfactory evidence to Lender that Borrower has paid the amount of the Excess Cost for such line item from sources other than the Loan;

  
 (ii) reallocate sufficient funds to such line item from funds
(if any) allocated to “Contingency” in the Approved Budgets; provided, however, that Lender must consent to any such reallocation unless the reallocated funds were originally transferred to “Contingency” from cost savings
pursuant to Section 3.4; or 
  
 (iii) deposit an amount equal to
the Excess Costs for such line item into the Overrun Account, to be disbursed according to Section 4.4. 
  

 10.1-23 







 6.8 Construction Information. Upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender,
not more frequently than monthly, a report in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, which Borrower certifies as correct, setting forth all accrued Project Costs, all Project Costs projected to complete the Project, any variance between actual
and projected Project Costs and the amounts set forth in the Approved Budgets, and all changes from the previous report which Borrower knows or reasonably anticipates. 
  
 6.9 Subcontractors. Upon demand by Lender, Lender shall have the right to reasonably approve all contractors and
subcontractors employed in connection with the construction of the Improvements. All such contractors and subcontractors shall be licensed and bonded as required by the State of Nevada. Borrower shall deliver to Lender correct lists of all such
contractors and subcontractors. Borrower shall deliver a copy of each such list to Lender prior to the first Disbursement for any item of Hard Costs. Thereafter, within twenty (20) calendar days of a change to any list, Borrower shall deliver an
amended list correctly reflecting such change. Each list shall show the name, address, and telephone number of each such contractor and subcontractor, a general statement of the nature of the work to be done, the labor and materials to be supplied,
the names of the materialmen, if known, the approximate dollar value of such labor, work, and materials itemized with respect to each contractor, subcontractor, and materialman, and the unpaid portion and status of such work, or whether such
materials have been delivered. Lender and its agents shall have the right, without either the obligation or the duty, to directly contact each contractor, subcontractor, and materialman to verify the facts disclosed by such list, and in so doing
Lender or its agent shall not represent itself as the agent of Borrower. 
  
 6.10 Permits and Warranties. Borrower shall deliver to Lender originals or copies of (a) all permits and authorizations required in connection with the construction of the Improvements or the occupation or
operation of the Property or any part thereof promptly upon issuance, and in any event before any act is done which requires the issuance of the respective permit or authorization, and (b) all warranties and guaranties received from any Person
furnishing labor, materials, equipment, fixtures, or furnishings in connection with the Project or the Property. 
  
 6.11 Protection Against Liens and Claims. 
  
 (a) Borrower agrees to file or procure the filing of a valid notice of completion of construction of the Improvements, diligently file or procure the
filing of a notice of cessation upon the event of a cessation of labor on the work of construction on the Improvements for a continuous period of thirty (30) calendar days or more, and take all other reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of
claims of liens against the Property or the Project or any part thereof. Borrower irrevocably appoints, designates, and authorizes Lender as its agent, said agency being coupled with an interest, with the authority upon the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, but without any obligation, to file for record any notices of completion, cessation of labor, or any similar or other notices that Lender deems necessary or desirable to protect its interests hereunder or under
the Loan Documents. 
  

 10.1-24 







 (b) Upon demand by Lender, Borrower agrees to make such demands or claims as Lender shall specify upon
any or all Persons who have furnished labor, service, equipment, or material to the Project. Borrower agrees to pay and obtain valid and enforceable lien releases or waivers from all Persons who have furnished labor, service, equipment, or material
to the Project, except that Borrower shall not be required to pay any claim for labor, service, equipment, or material that is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings as long as no claim of lien has been recorded or, if a claim of
lien has been recorded, within ten (10) calendar days thereafter, Borrower either has obtained and recorded a surety bond, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, sufficient to release the Property from the lien and from any action brought to
foreclose the lien, or has caused the title insurer who has issued the Title Policy to issue, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring the priority of the lien of the Deed of Trust over the claim of
lien. 
  
 (c) In the event that any Person furnishing labor,
service, equipment, or material to the Project asserts a claim against Lender or the Undisbursed Construction Funds, Borrower shall, upon demand by Lender, take such action as Lender may require to release Lender and the Undisbursed Construction
Funds from any obligation or liability with respect to such claim, including, without limitation, (i) if the claim is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, obtaining a bond or other security, in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender, or (ii) payment of such claim. If Borrower fails to take such action, Lender may, in its sole discretion, file an interpleader action requiring all claimants to interplead and litigate their respective claims, and in any such action Lender
shall be released and discharged from all obligations with respect to any funds deposited in court, and Lender’s costs and expenses, including without limitation actual attorney’s fees, shall be paid from such funds or from any other
Undisbursed Construction Funds. Any such funds deposited in court and all costs and expenses of Lender in connection therewith shall constitute Disbursements under the Note. 
  
 6.12 Sale or Other Encumbrances. Borrower specifically agrees that: 
  
 (a) In order to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that if
Borrower shall sell, assign, transfer, convey, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or encumber with financing other than that secured hereby, or otherwise alienate, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, the Property or any part
thereof or any interest therein except as shall be specifically hereinafter permitted or without the prior written consent of Lender, then Lender, at its option, may declare the Note, including the prepayment fee, if applicable, secured hereby and
all other obligations hereunder to be forthwith due and payable. Except as shall be otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) any change in the legal or equitable ownership of the Mortgaged Property whether or not of record, or (b) any change in
the form of entity or ownership (including the hypothecation or encumbrance thereof) of the stock or any other ownership interest in Borrower shall be deemed a transfer of an interest in the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that any transfer
of the Property or any interest therein to an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Borrower shall not be considered a transfer hereunder. In connection herewith, the financial stability and managerial and
operational ability of Borrower is a substantial and material consideration to 
  

 10.1-25 







 Lender in its agreement to make the loan to Borrower secured hereby. The transfer of an interest in the Property may
materially alter and reduce Lender’s security for the indebtedness secured hereby. Moreover, Lender has agreed to make its loan based upon the presumed value of the Property and the Rents and Profits (as such are defined in the Deed of Trust)
thereof. Therefore, it will be a diminution of Lender’s security if junior financing, except as shall be permitted Lender, or if other liens or encumbrances should attach to the Property. 
  
 (b) Borrower may request Lender to approve a sale or transfer of the Property
to a party who would become the legal and equitable owner of the Property and would assume any and all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents (the “Purchaser”). Lender shall not be obligated to consider or approve any such sale,
transfer or assumption or request for the same. However, upon such request, Lender may impose limiting conditions and requirements to its consent to an assumption. 
  
 (c) In the event ownership of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, becomes vested in a Person or Persons other than
Borrower, the Lender may deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to the Note or the Deed of Trust in the same manner as with Borrower, without in any way releasing, discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of
Borrower under the Note, the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents. No sale of Borrower’s interest in the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender, no extension of the time for the payment of the Deed of Trust indebtedness or any
change in the terms thereof to which Lender consents shall in any way whatsoever operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of the Borrower herein, either in whole or in part. Any deed conveying the Mortgaged
Property, or any part thereof, shall provide that the grantee thereunder assume all of Borrower’s obligations under the Note, the Deed of Trust and all other Loan Documents. In the event such deed shall not contain such assumption, Lender shall
have all rights reserved to it hereunder in the event of a default or if Lender shall not elect to exercise such rights and remedies, the grantee under such deed shall nevertheless assume such obligations by acquiring the Mortgaged Property or such
portion thereof subject to the Deed of Trust. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to waive the restrictions against the transfer of the Mortgaged Property contained in Section 6.12(a). 
  
 6.13 Removal of Personalty. Borrower shall not: 
  
 (a) install in or otherwise use in connection with the Project any
materials, equipment or fixtures under any security agreements or similar agreements however denominated whereby the right is reserved or accrues to anyone to remove or repossess any such items or whereby any Person other than Lender reserves or
acquires a lien upon such items; or 
  
 (b) remove or permit the
removal of any fixtures or personalty located on the Property or used in connection with the Project, except for tools and construction equipment intended for use in connection with the construction of other improvements, unless actually replaced by
an article of equal suitability and value, owned by Borrower free and clear of any lien or security interest other than the Security Documents. 
  

 10.1-26 







 6.14 Payment of Taxes, Assessments and Charges. Borrower shall pay, prior to delinquency, all
taxes, assessments, charges and levies imposed by any Governmental Agency which are or may become a lien affecting the Property or any part thereof, including without limitation assessments on any appurtenant water stock; except that Borrower shall
not be required to pay and discharge any tax, assessment, charge or levy that is being actively contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, as long as Borrower has established and maintains reserves adequate to pay any liabilities contested
pursuant to this Section in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, by reason of nonpayment, none of the property covered by the Security Documents or the lien or security interest of Lender is in danger of being lost or
forfeited. 
  
 6.15 Insurance. The Borrower shall at all
times maintain the following policies of insurance: 
  
 (a) prior
to completion of the Improvements, builder’s “all risk” insurance (“completed value” form), including “course of construction” coverage, covering the Improvements and any Personal Property; 
  
 (b) from and after completion of the Improvements, property “all
risk” insurance covering the Improvements and any Personal Property; 
  
 (c) commercial general liability insurance in favor of the Borrower (and naming the Lender as an additional insured) in an aggregate amount not less than $2,000,000.00 (or such greater amount as may be specified by
the Lender from time to time) combined single limit; and 
  
 (d)
such other insurance as may be required by applicable Laws (including worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance) or as the Lender may reasonably require from time to time (including “all risk” insurance with
respect to any other improvements now or in the future located on the Real Property and comprehensive form boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, rental loss insurance and business interruption insurance). 
  
 The Borrower shall also cause any contractor and each subcontractor employed
on the Property to maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance and, upon request by the Lender, shall cause the Architect and any Engineer engaged in connection with the Project to maintain a policy of professional liability
insurance, in each case for such periods and in such amounts as the Lender may reasonably require from time to time. 
  
 Each policy of builder’s-risk and all-risk insurance required by this Section 6.15 shall be in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of
the property covered by such policy, shall contain a “waiver of coinsurance” provision, a “full replacement cost” endorsement, a “Mortgagee Loss Payable” clause, and a “Betterments” or “Building
Ordinance” endorsement, and shall insure the Property against flood loss risk to the maximum available policy amount if the Real Property is 
  

 10.1-27 







 located in a “Flood Hazard Area” (as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency). Each policy of
commercial general liability insurance required by this Section shall cover personal injury, property liability, and contractual liability, including coverage for Borrower’s indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents, and shall name Lender
as an “additional insured”. The commercial general liability insurance shall also cover completed operations, and such insurance shall be primary and non-contributing with any other insurance available to the Lender. All insurance policies
shall be in form and substance and issued by insurers reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, and shall contain such deductible and such endorsements as the Lender may reasonably require. Each policy shall require thirty (30) day written notice to
Lender prior to any cancellation thereof. As a condition to funding the Loan, Borrower shall provide to Lender an ACORD 27 form certificate evidencing such policies. Upon request by the Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Lender originals or copies of all such insurance policies.

 6.18 Entry and Inspection. Lender and its agents shall, at all times,
upon twenty-four (24) hours telephonic notice to Borrower, have the right of entry and free access to the Project and the right to inspect all work done, labor performed, and materials furnished in and about the Project. If, at any time, Lender
determines, in its sole discretion, that regular inspections of the Project are required, the Borrower shall allow free access to such inspector. Such inspection shall be performed at Borrower’s expense, with the actual cost thereof, reasonably
incurred, to be paid by Borrower upon seventy-two (72) hours notice from Lender.

security;

Lender’s option, let contracts for, or otherwise proceed to finish the Improvements and pay the cost thereof; and if Lender advances its own funds for such purposes, such funds shall be considered advanced under the Note and shall be secured by
the Security Documents, notwithstanding that such advances may cause the total amount advanced under the Note to exceed the face amount of the Note or the amount Lender is committed to advance pursuant to this Agreement, and Borrower shall
immediately upon demand reimburse Lender therefor, together with interest thereon as if such advances were advances under the Note, from the date of such advance until the date of reimbursement (nothing contained in this Section 7.2(b) or elsewhere

the place and the time designated in the demand; and 
  
 (f)
exercise any and all of its rights under the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the right to take possession of and foreclose on any security, and exercise any other rights with respect to any security, whether under the Security Documents
or any other agreement or as provided by Law, all in such order and in such manner as Lender in its sole discretion may determine. 
  
 7.3 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. All remedies of Lender provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights
and remedies provided in the other Loan Documents or provided by Law from time to time. The exercise of any right or remedy by Lender hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of any default hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, nor invalidate any notice of default or any act done pursuant to 
  

 10.1-34 







 any such notice, nor prejudice Lender in the exercise of any rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents. No waiver by
Lender of any default by Borrower hereunder shall be implied from any omission by Lender to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default
expressly made the subject of the waiver. Any such express waiver shall operate only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Any waiver of any covenant, term or condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same covenant, term or condition. Lender’s consent to or approval of any act by Borrower requiring further consent or approval shall not waive or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any subsequent act.

and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, within seventy-two (72) hours after demand, all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including without limitation actual attorneys’ fees

Lender makes pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, all funds advanced by Lender, shall be advanced under an obligation to do so, regardless of the person or entity to whom such advance is made. Advances made in the reasonable
exercise of Lender’s judgment that such are necessary to complete the Improvements or to protect its security are obligatory advances hereunder and are to be secured by the Note and Deed of Trust, and such security shall relate back to the
original recording of the Deed of Trust.

suitability of materials or workmanship, conformity to the plans therefor, state of completion or otherwise; Borrower shall make its own inspections of such construction to determine that the quality of the Improvements and all other requirements of
such construction are being performed in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and as required by the Improvement Plans and all applicable Laws; and Borrower shall immediately notify Lender, in writing, should the same not conform to the plans therefor
and all applicable laws;

Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including any certificate, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, lease or insurance policy, Lender does not thereby warrant or represent the sufficiency, legality,
effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Lender;

specifications, (ii) architects, contractors, subcontractors and materialmen employed or utilized in connection with the construction of the Improvements, or the workmanship of or the materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress or course of
any construction and its conformity or nonconformity with the plans therefor. Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or information that Lender
supplies to Borrower in connection with such matters is for the protection of Lender only and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon;

facility therein or thereon; (ii) any act or omission of Borrower or any of Borrower’s agents,

willful misconduct; (d) any act or omission by Borrower, any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier, engineer, architect, or any other Person with respect to any of the Property or Improvements; or (e) any claim or cause of action of any
kind by any Person which would have the effect of denying Lender the full benefit or protection of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents but excluding charges and assessments by Governmental Agencies imposed upon Lender in the normal
course of Lender’s business such as taxes and regulatory fees. Lender’s rights of indemnity shall not be directly or indirectly limited, prejudiced, impaired or eliminated in any way by any finding or allegation that Lender’s conduct
is active, passive or subject to any other classification or that Lender is directly or indirectly responsible under any theory of any kind, character or nature for any act or omission by Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Lender with respect to any intentional tort or act of negligence which Lender is personally determined by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (sustained on appeal, if any) to have committed.
Borrower shall pay any indebtedness arising under this indemnity to Lender immediately within seventy-two (72) hours after demand therefor by Lender together with interest thereon from the date such indebtedness arises until paid at the Default
Rate. Borrower’s duty to defend and indemnify Lender shall survive the release and cancellation of the Note and the release and reconveyance or partial release and reconveyance of the Deed of Trust.
