Exhibit 10.16a

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“First Amendment”) is entered into to be effective as of November
5, 2004 (the “Effective Date”) by and between BF ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Landlord”), and BANK ONE, NA, a national banking association (“Tenant”).

RECITALS

     A. Landlord and Tenant (collectively, the “Parties”) are parties to a written Lease dated
March 1, 1995 (the “Lease”), which contains the entire agreement the Parties with respect to
Tenant’s use and occupancy of the improved real property located at 1515 W. 14th Street,
Tempe, Arizona (the “Premises”).

     B. The Term of the Lease is presently scheduled to expire on February 28, 2005. Tenant has
elected not to exercise the renewal option set forth in the Lease. However, the Parties both desire
to extend the Term of the Lease for an additional period of 6 months, on the Terms and Conditions
set forth below.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises of the Parties and other valuable consideration,
receipt of which is acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

     1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals are incorporated by reference as agreements of the
Parties.

     2. Effect of Amendment. The Parties hereby agree that the Lease shall be amended as expressly
provided in this First Amendment. Except as otherwise defined in this First Amendment, all
capitalized terms shall have the same meaning in this First Amendment as in the Lease. In the
event of any conflicts with any other provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this First
Amendment will control. As specifically amended by this First Amendment, the provisions of the
Lease shall remain in full force and effect. This First Amendment shall not become effective (nor
shall it operate as an offer to lease or extend on any terms) until execution and delivery by both
Parties. The Lease, as amended by this First Amendment, may not be further amended or qualified in
any manner, except by written agreement signed by both Parties. This First Amendment fully
expresses the agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter.

     3. Lease Term. Provided that no Event of Default exists on February 28, 2005, the Term of the
Lease shall be extended for a period of 6 months, beginning March 1, 2005 and ending August 31,
2005 (the “Extension Period”). Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has no right to terminate the Lease
before August 31, 2005 and no option to extend the Term of the Lease beyond August 31, 2005, and
that the Lease will expire as of that date unless the parties should agree in writing upon the
terms of a further extension. Base Rent during the Extension Period shall be as provided in
Section 4 of this First Amendment, and the provisions of Section 2.04 of the Lease (pertaining to
month-to-month holdover tenancy at 150% of the Base Rent) shall not apply to the Extension Period.

     4. Base Rent. Monthly installments of Base Rent during the Extension Period shall be at the
rate of $.95 per square foot or $209,000.00 per month.

 

 

     5. No Notice of Intention to Sell. After the Effective Date, Landlord shall have no
obligation to give Tenant any notice of Landlord’s intention to offer the Property for sale, and
the provisions of Article Fifteen are hereby deleted in their entirety.

     6. FF&E. Upon surrender of possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees to leave the Premises in
broom clean condition, all as set forth in Section 6.06 of the Lease, and leave in their existing
locations at the Premises all of the furniture, fixtures and equipment except as set forth in
Exhibit A (the “FF&E”), in addition to any alterations, additions or improvements, except
as set forth in Exhibit B. At the end of the Term, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a bill of
sale for the FF&E in the form attached as Exhibit C, conveying the FF&E to Landlord for the
sum of $10.00.

     7. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to each other that they have not dealt
with any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with this First Amendment. Landlord and
Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold each other harmless for, from and against any and all
liability and cost which Landlord or Tenant may suffer in connection with real estate brokers,
agents or finders claiming by, through, or under either party seeking any commission, fee or
payment in connection with this First Amendment. Tenant understands that Tenant’s obligation
extends to any real estate brokers, agents or finders who may seek compensation as a result of any
previous involvement in connection with the Lease.

     8. Estoppel. The signature of Tenant shall operate as a representation and acknowledgment
that the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been terminated or assigned or encumbered by
Tenant, that the Premises have not been sublet, that, to Tenant’s knowledge, there are no Landlord
defaults under the Lease as of the Effective Date nor any conditions known to Tenant which, with
the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a Landlord default under the Lease, and
that, to Tenant’s knowledge, Tenant has no outstanding claims, defenses, setoffs or rights of
setoff against any Rental. Tenant further acknowledges that this First Amendment is a complete and
integrated expression of the parties’ intentions regarding the subject matter, and it supersedes
any prior or contemporaneous verbal or written communications in that regard.

     WHEREFORE, the Parties have executed this First Amendment to be effective as of the Effective
Date.

     2.1
Interest Accrual. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall accrue
interest at the applicable of the Note Rate or the Default Rate.

     2.2
Payment of Principal and Interest. The principal and interest on this Note shall
be due and payable as follows: (i) on the date of this Note, Borrower shall pay Lender any
interest which will accrue from the date of this Note through the last day of February, 2005;
(ii) commencing on April 1, 2005, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter

(iii) on February 21, 2011, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note and all
accrued
and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full. The monthly installment of
principal and interest described in the preceding sentence is based on a twenty-five (25) year
amortization at the Note Rate.

     2.3
Application. Except as provided in Section 2.6 hereof, all payments on this Note
shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) the payment or reimbursement of any
reasonable expenses, costs or obligations (other than the outstanding principal balance hereof
and interest hereon) for which either Borrower shall be obligated or Lender shall be entitled
pursuant to the provisions of this Note or the other Loan Documents; (ii) the payment of
accrued
but unpaid interest hereon; and (iii) the payment of all or any portion of the principal
balance
hereof then outstanding hereunder, in the direct order of maturity.

     2.4
Payments. All payments under this Note made to Lender shall be made in immediately
available funds at 1309 W.
15th Street, Suite 210, Plano, Texas 75075 (or at such other
place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may have established by delivery of written notice
thereof to Borrower from time to time), without offset, in lawful money of the United States of
America, which shall at the time of payment be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues,

	 	Page 3

 

Lender on a day other than a Business Day or after 3:00 p.m., Plano, Texas, time on a
Business Day shall not be credited until the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment of
principal or interest on this Note shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any such extension of time
for payment shall be included in computing interest which has accrued and shall be payable in
connection with such payment.

     2.5
Computation Period. Interest on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall
be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and shall accrue on the
actual
number of days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated,
provided that if computing interest using a three hundred sixty (360) day year causes interest
to
exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, interest shall be calculated using a three hundred sixty-five
(365) day year, or three hundred sixty-six (366) day year, as applicable. In computing the
number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are initially advanced
shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day on which
funds
are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to the close of business on
the
Business Day received as provided in Section 2.4 hereof.

     2.6
Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, conditioned
upon: (i) the payment to Lender of a prepayment premium equal to three percent (3%) of the
outstanding principal balance of this Note on the date of prepayment if this Note is prepaid
on or
before the first anniversary of the date of this Note; (ii) the payment to Lender of a
prepayment
premium equal to two percent (2%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note on the
date
of prepayment if this Note is prepaid after the first anniversary of the date of this Note but
on or
before the second anniversary of the date of this Note; or (iii) the payment to Lender of a
prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note
on the date of prepayment if this Note is prepaid after the second anniversary of the date of
this
Note but on or before the third anniversary of the date of this Note. Following the third
anniversary of the date of this Note, this Note may be prepaid in whole, but not in part,
without
premium. Any prepayment of this Note must be accompanied by payment of all accrued and
unpaid interest and any other costs or charges which are owed but unpaid by Borrower pursuant
to any of the Loan Documents.

     2.7 Unconditional Payment. Borrower is and shall be obligated to pay all principal,
interest and any and all other amounts which become payable under this Note or under any of
the
other Loan Documents absolutely and unconditionally and without any
abatement,
postponement, diminution or deduction whatsoever and without any reduction for counterclaim
or setoff whatsoever. If at any time any payment received by Lender hereunder shall be deemed
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent
conveyance
under any Debtor Relief Law or other applicable laws, then the obligation to make such payment
shall survive any cancellation or satisfaction of this Note or return thereof to Borrower and
shall
not be discharged or satisfied with any prior payment thereof or cancellation of this Note,
but
shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and
provisions hereof, and such payment shall be due and payable immediately upon demand.

     2.8
Partial or Incomplete Payments. Remittances in payment of any part of
this
Note other than in the required amount in immediately available funds at the place where this
Note is payable shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute
payment
until the required amount is actually received by Lender in full in accordance herewith and
shall
be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for
collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by
Lender
of any payment in an amount less than the full amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance
on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall be and continue to be
an
Event of Default in the payment of this Note.

     
2.9 Default Rate. If any payment is not received in full by Lender within ten (10)
days after the date that such payment is due, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate on
such
overdue payment from and after such tenth (10th) day until paid. For so long as
any Event of
Default exists under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether
or not there has been an acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and at all
times
after the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (whether by acceleration or
otherwise), and in addition to all other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, interest
shall
accrue on the outstanding principal balance hereof at the Default Rate, and such accrued
interest
shall be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the provisions
contained in this Section 2.9 are intended or shall be construed to permit Lender to contract
for,
charge or receive interest in any amount that is in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, and all
charges referred to in this Section expressly are limited to an amount not in excess of the
Maximum Lawful Rate by the provisions of this sentence.

     2.10 Late Charge. If any installment due hereunder is not paid in full within ten
(10)
days of the date due, Lender shall, without notice, be entitled to charge, and Borrower shall
pay
on demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount (the “Late
Charge”). Imposition of a Late Charge is not contingent upon the giving of any notice or lapse
of any cure period provided for in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of
the provisions contained in this Section 2.10 are intended or shall be construed to
permit Lender
to contract for, charge or receive interest in any amount that is in excess of the Maximum
Lawful
Rate, and all charges referred to in this Section expressly are limited to an amount not in
excess
of the Maximum Lawful Rate by the provisions of this sentence.

ARTICLE III –
EVENT OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     3.1
Event of Default. The occurrence or happening, at any time and from time to time, of any
one or more of the following immediately shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note
and under all of the other Loan Documents, and each such Event of Default shall be deemed to exist
and to continue so long as, but only so long as, such Event of Default has not been cured or
remedied:

deemed to have occurred if the unsatisfied or unperformed promise, covenant, duty or
obligation remains unsatisfied or unperformed ninety (90) days after the delivery of
written notice from Lender to Borrower); or

     (c) Any representation, warranty or statement made by Borrower, any
guarantor of Borrower’s obligations or any representative of Borrower or any guarantor

property and any such order, judgment or decree of appointment, execution, attachment
or sequestration shall remain in force undismissed, unstayed, or unvacated for a period
of
ninety (90) days after the date of entry thereof; or (iv) shall file a voluntary
petition in
bankruptcy or a voluntary petition or an answer seeking reorganization in a proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Laws or an answer admitting the material allegations of a

     3.2
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event
of Default remains outstanding, Lender shall have the immediate right, at the sole discretion
of
Lender and without notice, demand, presentment, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance,
protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or any
other notice
or any other action (ALL OF WHICH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES) (i) to declare the entire unpaid
balance of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note (including, without limitation, the outstanding principal balance hereof, including all sums
advanced or accrued hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all accrued but unpaid interest

the repayment of this Note or any part hereof, or against any one or more of them, or against the
Mortgaged Property, at the sole discretion of Lender, (y) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Borrower that the exercise, discontinuance of the exercise
of or failure to exercise any of the same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release
thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (z) are intended to be, and shall be,
nonexclusive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Section 3.1(c) hereof,

indebtedness of Borrower to Lender under any of the other Loan Documents automatically, ipso facto
shall be accelerated and shall be due and payable immediately without any requirement that Lender

declare an acceleration or take any other action, and after any such acceleration, Lender
shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies which are available under any and all of the
Loan Documents after the occurrence of an Event of Default. All rights and remedies of Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall extend to any period after the initiation of
foreclosure proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any
portion thereof. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.17 hereof, if this Note, or
any part hereof, is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Borrower agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including, but not limited to, Lender’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees, whether or not any legal action shall be instituted to enforce this Note.

     3.3
Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, but
subject to the qualifications provided in this Section 3.3, Lender agrees that: (i) Borrower
shall be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to the full extent (but only to the
extent) of the Mortgaged Property; (ii) if an Event of Default occurs under this Note or under the
other Loan Documents, any judicial proceedings brought by Lender against Borrower shall be limited
to the preservation, enforcement and foreclosure, or any thereof, of the liens, security titles,
estates, assignments, rights, benefits and security interests now or at any time hereafter securing
the payment of this Note and the satisfaction of the other obligations of Borrower under this Note
or under the other Loan Documents, and confirmation of any sale under power of sale, and no
attachment, execution or other writ or process shall be sought, issued or levied upon any assets,
properties or funds of Borrower or its general partners other than the Mortgaged Property, except
with respect to the liability described below in this Section 3.3; and (iii) in the event of a
foreclosure of such liens, security titles, estates, assignments, rights, benefits or security
interests securing the payment of this Note or the other obligations of Borrower under the Loan
Documents, whether by judicial proceedings or exercise of power of sale, no judgment for any
deficiency upon the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be sought or obtained by Lender
against Borrower, except with respect to the liability described
below in this Section 3.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.3, Borrower (and the other
parties executing such instruments) shall be fully and personally liable and subject to all legal
action for the obligations described and referenced in that certain Limited Guaranty and in that
certain Indemnity Agreement (Environmental and Building Laws), both of even date herewith, and both
executed by Borrower and others concurrently herewith.

ARTICLE IV – GENERAL PROVISIONS

     4.1
No Waiver; Amendment. No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note by reason of an Event of Default hereunder, acceptance of a partial or past due payment, or
indulgences granted from time to time shall be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a
reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or as a waiver of such right of
acceleration or of the right of Lender thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms
of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right
granted under this Note, under any of the other Loan Documents or by any applicable laws. Borrower
hereby expressly waives and relinquishes the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now

provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or
in conflict with the foregoing. The failure to exercise any remedy available to Lender shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies of Lender under this Note or under any of the
other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity. No extension of the time for the payment of this
Note or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any party now or hereafter liable
for the payment of this Note, shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the
original liability of Borrower under this Note, either in whole or in part, unless Lender
specifically, unequivocally and expressly agrees otherwise in writing. This Note may not be
changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of any waiver, change or modification is sought.

     4.2
WAIVERS. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS NOTE OR IN ANY OF
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO THE CONTRARY, BORROWER AND ANY ENDORSERS
OR GUARANTORS HEREOF SEVERALLY WAIVE AND
RELINQUISH PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT OR NONPERFORMANCE, PROTEST,
NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF INTENT TO ACCELERATE, NOTICE OF ACCELERATION OR ANY
OTHER NOTICES OR ANY OTHER ACTION. BORROWER AND ANY ENDORSERS OR
GUARANTORS HEREOF SEVERALLY WAIVE AND RELINQUISH, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS TO BENEFITS OF ANY MORATORIUM,
REINSTATEMENT, MARSHALING, FORBEARANCE, VALUATION, STAY, EXTENSION, REDEMPTION,
APPRAISEMENT, EXEMPTION AND HOMESTEAD NOW OR HEREAFTER PROVIDED BY
THE CONSTITUTION
AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND OF EACH STATE THEREOF,
BOTH AS TO ITSELF
AND IN AND TO ALL OF ITS PROPERTY, REAL AND PERSONAL, AGAINST THE ENFORCEMENT
AND COLLECTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE OR BY THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

     4.3
Interest Provisions.

     (a)
Savings Clause: It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of
Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing
the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note
and any Related Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it
permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of
interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as
to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received
pursuant to this Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing
by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the
subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or
received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of this
Note and/or any Related Indebtedness, or (iii) Lender will have received by reason of any
voluntary prepayment by Borrower of this Note and/or

Promissory Note (Commercial – Single Advance – Fixed Rate) (02/21/05)
	 	Page 9

 

any Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all
amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate automatically shall be canceled,
ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore
collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of this Note and/or any
Related Indebtedness (or, if this Note and any Related Indebtedness have been or would
thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the
other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any
new document, so as to comply with the applicable law but so as to permit the recovery of
the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if
this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of this Note, then
Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender
discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of
the Maximum Lawful Rate, refund such excess interest to Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees
that, as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender,
Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the
nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of
such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such
excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against this Note and/or any
Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged,
taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt
evidenced by this Note and/or any Related Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, through the stated term
of this Note and/or any Related Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no
event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates
certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to this Note
and/or any of the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to
accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such
acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

     (b)
Ceiling Election. To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas
Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on this Note and/or any other
portion of the Indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in
effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law
permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of
interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such
Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the
extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at Lender’s
option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful
Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to
Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

Borrower intended by the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents to be encumbered by
the Loan Documents; and (iii) pay all costs in connection with any of the foregoing.

     4.6
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Note is
executed and delivered as an incident to a lending transaction negotiated and
consummated in Collin County, Texas, and shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Borrower, for Borrower and
Borrower’s successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Texas, (ii) waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Borrower may now or
in the future have to the laying of venue of any litigation arising out of or in
connection with this Note or any other Loan Document brought in the District
Court of Collin County, Texas, or in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, (iii) waives any objection Borrower may now or
hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such
court or that such court is an inconvenient forum, and (iv) agrees that any
legal proceeding against any party to any of the Loan Documents arising out of
or in connection with any of the Loan Documents may be brought in one of the
foregoing courts. The scope of each of the foregoing waivers is intended to be
all encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that
relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including, without limitation,
contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law
and statutory claims. Borrower acknowledges that these waivers are a material
inducement to Lender’s agreement to enter into the agreements and obligations
evidenced by the Loan Documents, that Lender has already relied on these waivers
and will continue to rely on each of these waivers in related future dealings.
The waivers in this Section 4.6 are irrevocable, meaning that they may
not be modified either orally or in writing, and these waivers apply to any
future renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications or replacements in
respect of any and all of the applicable Loan Documents. In connection with any
litigation, this Note may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

personal relationship between Borrower and Lender, or any officer, director or
employee of Lender, that may exist or have existed, the relationship between
Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan Documents is solely that of debtor
and creditor. Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with
Borrower. Borrower and Lender are not partners or joint venturers, and no term
or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the
relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and
creditor.

     4.9

be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their
respective heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, personal representatives,

exercises any right given to Lender to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement

satisfactory shall be (except as is otherwise specifically and expressly
