GUARANTY OF PAYMENT

 

THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT (this “Guaranty”), made as of March 10, 2006, by PEAK RESORTS, INC., a Missouri corporation (“Guarantor”) to and for the benefit of EPT CROTCHED MOUNTAIN, INC. (“Lender”).

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, S N H Development, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Borrower”) concurrently herewith is obtaining the Loan from Lender; and

 

WHEREAS, the Loan is secured by, among other things, that certain New Hampshire Leasehold Mortgage, Assignment of Rents And Security Agreement, dated of even date herewith, given by Borrower to Lender (the “Mortgage”); and

 

WHEREAS, as a condition to making the Loan to Borrower, Lender has required that Guarantor guarantee payment to Lender of the Debt (as hereinafter defined); and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor will derive substantial benefit from Lender making the Loan to Borrower, and, therefore, Guarantor desires to guaranty payment to Lender of the Debt.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to extend the Loan to Borrower and in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lender, as follows:

 

1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby assumes liability for and guarantees payment to Lender of all principal of, prepayment premium (if any) and interest due under the Note and all other obligations, liabilities or sums due or to become due under the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, interest on said obligations, liabilities or sums now due or to become due under the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document; and any further or subsequent advances made pursuant to the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document by Lender to protect or preserve the Property or the lien or security created by the Loan Documents, or for taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or other matters as provided in the Loan Documents (said amounts and other sums, collectively, the “Debt”). This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Borrower or any other person (including, without limitation, other guarantors, if any), nor against the collateral for the Loan. Guarantor waives any right to require that an action be brought against Borrower or any other person or to require that resort be had to any collateral for the Loan or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Lender in favor of Borrower or any other person. In the event of a default under the Loan Documents which is not cured within any applicable grace or cure period, Lender shall have the right to enforce its rights, powers and remedies (including, without limitation, foreclosure of all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan) thereunder or hereunder, in any order, and all rights, powers and remedies available to Lender in such event shall be non-exclusive and cumulative of all other rights, powers and remedies provided thereunder or hereunder or by law or in equity. If the obligations guaranteed hereby are partially paid or discharged by reason of the exercise of any of the remedies available to Lender, including, without limitation, the exercise of any rights or

 

1

 

remedies available to Lender under any pledge or hypothecation agreement made by Guarantor in favor of Lender in connection with the Loan, this Guaranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and Guarantor shall remain liable for all remaining obligations guaranteed hereby, even though any rights which Guarantor may have against Borrower may be destroyed or diminished by the exercise of any such remedy.

 

2. Reinstatement of Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by Guarantor or received by Lender from Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Guarantor or Borrower), then the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous payment made by Guarantor, or receipt of payment by Lender, and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by Guarantor had never been made.

 

3. Waivers by Guarantor. To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of:

 

(a) any right to require Lender to proceed against Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power or under any other agreement before proceeding against Guarantor hereunder, or any defense based on suretyship or impairment of collateral;

 

(b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons;

 

(c) demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and, except as provided in the Loan Documents or as required by applicable law, all other notices of any kind, or the lack of any thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrower or of Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Lender;

 

(d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender;

 

(e) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Guarantor;

 

(f) any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty;

 

(g) any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Guarantor any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower or the Property, regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the

 

2

 

risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower, of the condition of the Property and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Guarantor hereunder;

 

(h) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents;

 

(i) any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan;

 

(j) any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed;

 

(k) an assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. § 362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, which Lender may have against Guarantor or the collateral for the Loan;

 

(1) any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; and

 

(m) any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Guarantor under Section 4(i) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise.

 

4. General Provisions.

 

(a) Fully Recourse. Notwithstanding any provisions of any other Loan Documents to the contrary, if any, all of the terms and provisions of this Guaranty are recourse obligations of Guarantor and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability.

 

(b) Unsecured Obligations. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that Lender would not make the Loan but for the unsecured personal liability undertaken by Guarantor herein.

 

(c) Survival. To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Guaranty shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any

 

3

 

foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full.

 

(d) Subordination; No Recourse Against Lender. Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and agrees with Lender that Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Guaranty or under the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(e) Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, the right to contribution, which Lender may have against Borrower, Guarantor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time, or any other applicable federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved.

 

(f) Financial Statements. Guarantor hereby agrees, as a material inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, to furnish to Lender promptly upon demand by Lender current and dated financial statements detailing the assets and liabilities of Guarantor certified by Guarantor, in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Guarantor hereby warrants and represents unto Lender that any and all balance sheets, net worth statements and other financial data which have heretofore been given or may hereafter be given to Lender with respect to Guarantor did or will at the time of such delivery fairly and accurately present the financial condition of Guarantor.

 

(g) Rights Cumulative; Payments. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and Lender’s rights under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all rights of Lender under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. In the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not Guarantor is the alter ego of Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower. Lender’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted until all of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder have been fully paid and performed.

 

(h) No Limitation on Liability. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that Lender may at any time and from time to time without further consent from Guarantor do any of the following events, and the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by any of the following events, whether occurring with or without notice to Guarantor or with or without consideration: (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or otherwise granted by

 

4

 

Lender or extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property; (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower, including, without limitation, the withdrawal or removal of Guarantor from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower; (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein or by Borrower in any of the Loan Documents; (v) the release of Borrower or of any other person or entity from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act or otherwise; (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vii) Lender’s failure to record the Mortgage or to file any financing statement (or Lender’s improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (viii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other person, shall limit, impair or release Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way or afford Guarantor any recourse against Lender. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require Lender to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein.

 

(i) Enforcement. This Guaranty is subject to enforcement at law or in equity, including actions for damages or specific performance.

 

(j) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event it is necessary for Lender to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Guaranty, or any portion thereof, Guarantor agrees to pay to Lender any and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, incurred by Lender as a result thereof.

 

(k) Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time Lender acquires knowledge of any matter guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. No action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and Guarantor hereby waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.

 

(1) Reliance. Lender would not make the Loan to Borrower without Guarantor entering into this Guaranty. Accordingly, Guarantor intentionally and unconditionally enters into the covenants and agreements as set forth above and understands that, in reliance upon and in consideration of such covenants and agreements, the Loan shall be made and, as part and parcel thereof, specific monetary and other obligations have been, are being and shall be entered into which would not be made or entered into but for such reliance.

 

5

 

(m) Waiver by Guarantor. Guarantor covenants and agrees that, upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Borrower, Guarantor shall not seek or cause Borrower or any other person or entity to seek a supplemental stay or other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law, (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against Guarantor or the collateral for the Loan by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise.

 

(n) Defined Terms. Defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Mortgage.

 

5. Default Under Related Agreement; Net Worth. It shall be an event of default hereunder (i) upon the occurrence of any default under a Loan Document or Related Agreement that remains uncured after the expiration of the applicable cure period thereunder; or (ii) the book net worth of Guarantor shall be less than $7,000,000 and Guarantor shall have failed to deliver a replacement guaranty reasonably acceptable to Landlord from an entity with a book net worth in excess of $7,000,000, or (ii) Guarantor (a) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (b) commences any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any federal, state or local law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, (c) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (d) is generally unable to pay its debts as they mature, (e) seeks or consents to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, or (f) files a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under an order or decree appointing, without the consent of Guarantor, a receiver of Guarantor of the whole or substantially all of its property, and such case, proceeding or other action is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the commencement thereof. “Book Net Worth” shall be calculated on a rolling four quarter basis as follows: the Book Net Worth for Guarantor’s final quarter shall mean the amount of Guarantor’s retained earnings as of the last day of Guarantor’s final quarter (presently, March 31); subsequent quarterly determinations of Book Net Worth shall be made on the last day of Guarantor’s first, second, and third quarters by taking the Book Net Worth of Guarantor as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year plus or minus the net income for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period ending on such date, less distributions to shareholders, if any.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor has executed this Guaranty as of the day and year first above written.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower may acquire fixtures, appliances, machinery, furnishings, equipment, furniture and other personal property relating to the Project under lease or lease/purchase arrangements so long as (i) the terms thereof are market rate arms-length transactions and (ii) the costs associated therewith are not included in the Construction Costs.

 

1.13.                     Budgets. The Borrower has previously provided a project budget for the Hidden Valley Project (the “Hidden Valley Project Budget”) to the Lender, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E and a project budget for the Brandywine Project (the “Brandywine Project Budget”, together with the Hidden Valley Project Budget, the “Project Budget”) to Lender, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F.

Other than the Permitted Exceptions, Borrower agrees that the Premises shall be kept free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (unless the same are bonded over or insured over by the Title Company in a manner satisfactory to Lender) of every nature or description (whether for taxes or assessments, or charges for labor, materials, supplies or services or any other thing) (a “Lien”). Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower will not permit any instrument or document affecting the Premises to be recorded without Lender’s prior written consent thereto.

pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf (and Borrower hereby acknowledges such reliance by Lender in making the Loan and all disbursements thereof). All such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive the making of any or all of the disbursements contemplated hereby and shall continue in full force and effect as long as there remains unperformed any obligation to Lender hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.

Any amounts deposited by Borrower hereunder to pay any such deficiency shall be deposited in a cash collateral account with Lender, subject to a security interest in favor of Lender, shall not bear interest and shall be applied by Lender as Lender shall direct to pay costs and expenses in connection with the Project. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender, in addition to all other rights which it may have, shall have the unconditional right, at its option, to apply, in whole or in part, any amounts deposited by Borrower with Lender with respect to such deficiency, to the payment of the Loan in such order and priority as Lender shall deem appropriate.

3.15.                     Borrowings and Lease Expenditures. Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist any liability for borrowed money or under capital leases, except (i) liability for borrowed money owed to Lender, (ii) purchase money obligations outstanding on the Closing Date and reflected on Borrower’s most recent financial statements that are secured by purchase money collateral only, and (iii) obligations under capital leases outstanding on the Closing Date and reflected on Borrower’s most recent financial statements.

Lender shall not be obligated to make further disbursements of Loan proceeds if: (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents; (ii) any Condemnation has been commenced or threatened with respect to the Premises, the Easements, or any interest therein or any part thereof which, if prosecuted to completion, would have a material adverse effect on the ability to construct or operate the Project; (iii) any Legal Prohibition exists the effect of which is to prohibit, enjoin (or to declare, unlawful or improper) or otherwise materially adversely affect, in Lender’s judgment, the performance by any party of its obligations hereunder or as contemplated hereby; (iv) Lender has reasonable cause to believe that the Project might be subject to forfeiture under any federal or state law, including without limitation, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970, for which forfeiture of assets is a potential penalty (a “Forfeiture Law”); or (v) any Bankruptcy (hereinafter defined) shall occur.

 

4.4.                            Use of Advances. In addition to, and without limitation of any other term and provision hereof relating to disbursements by Lender for any category contained in the Project Budget, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Project Budget reflects by category the

 

13

 

purposes for which funds advanced hereunder are to be used, and Lender shall not be required to disburse for any category or purpose more than the amount specified therefor in the Project Budget. Borrower warrants and agrees that the proceeds of the Loan will be used only to the extent necessary for the payment of items referenced in the Project Budget in accordance with the applicable Request for Advance and for no other purpose. Except to the extent permitted under Section 4.9 below, Borrower may not reallocate amounts shown in the Project Budget to different categories thereon without Lender’s prior written consent.

 

4.5.                            Construction Advances. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions herein contained, subsequent disbursements of the Loan will be made monthly by Lender to Borrower, it being understood that in no event shall Lender be required to make more than one (1) disbursement in a calendar month. As a condition to making each advance hereunder, Lender shall be given a Request for Advance satisfying the requirements set forth in Section 2.3 hereof at least ten (10) banking business days prior to the anticipated date of the disbursement of funds. With respect to the final advance for the Project, such Request for Advance shall also be accompanied by the documents called for in Section 2.4 hereof. Each advance hereunder shall be made at the office of Lender at its address specified in Section 8.7. Lender, at its option, may (i) disburse funds directly to Borrower or directly to the Construction Contractor or any subcontractor, supplier, laborer or materialman or (ii) make disbursements through an escrow established by Borrower and Lender for such purpose with the Title Company.

 

4.6.                            Retainage. Unless waived or otherwise agreed in writing by Lender for any particular contract or subcontract, the Construction Contract shall require a retainage (a percentage of the Contract Price) reasonably acceptable to Lender, which retainage shall not be required to be paid until at least thirty (30) days after the Project is completed. Lender shall retain a portion of each disbursement of the Loan proceeds equal to the retention percentage and Lender, at Lender’s option, may release some or all of such retainage earlier than final completion of the Project. In no event shall Lender be required to advance any funds with respect to the retainage provided for in the Construction Contract or any subcontract until such time as Borrower has actually paid or is required to pay the amount of such retainage pursuant to the terms of the applicable contract or subcontract.

 

4.7.                            Interest on the Note. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender to disburse Loan funds for payment of interest under the Note, if not paid by Borrower when due, directly to itself by journal entry without further authorization by Borrower. All such amounts shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgages and Deeds of Trust and all of the other Loan Documents.

 

4.8.                            Payment of Note. Upon the payment of the Note and the release of the Mortgage, Lender shall have no further obligation to disburse any Loan proceeds hereunder.

 

4.9.                            Budget Reallocations. The Project Budget shall not be revised, supplemented of amended without Lender’s prior written consent; provided, however, that if the proposed revisions, supplements or amendments do not affect the aggregate figures set forth in the Project Budget, Borrower may, without Lender’s prior written consent, (i) reallocate the amounts of specific cost categories in either such budget to other cost categories in such budget if the reallocation does not amount to a ten percent (10%) or greater change in the original amount of the reallocated cost category, (ii) reallocate cost savings under one cost category to any other cost category and (iii) use funds from the contingency reserve to cover overages under any cost category. Upon the occurrence

 

14

 

of an Event of Default, Lender may allocate any cost category on the Project Budget for any other cost category.

 

4.10.                     Storage of Materials. Subject to the Project Budget, Lender shall make disbursements of the Loan to pay for Construction Costs actually incurred by Borrower for stored materials required in connection with the construction of the Project, provided that: (a) such materials are in accordance with the Plans and Specifications approved by Lender; (b) such materials are securely stored, properly inventoried, and clearly stenciled or otherwise marked to indicate that they are the property of Borrower; (c) such materials, if stored off-site, are stored in a bonded warehouse or with a contractor, materialman or fabricator who bears the risk of loss until delivery and installation of such materials in the Project as part of the work in place, and who has, if requested by Lender, supplied a bond securing such contractor’s, materialman’s or fabricator’s obligation to so deliver and install, such bond shall be issued by a company, in an amount and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall name Lender as a dual obligee; (d) the bills of sale and contracts under which such materials are being provided shall be, if requested by Lender, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; (e) such materials are insured against casualty, loss and theft in a manner satisfactory to Lender; (f) Borrower owns such materials free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever and establishes such ownership by evidence satisfactory to Lender; and (g) Borrower executes and delivers to Lender such additional security documents as Lender shall reasonably deem necessary to create and perfect a first lien in such materials as additional security for the Note.

 

4.11.                     No Waiver, Borrower’s Continuing Obligations. No advance or disbursement hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any condition precedent to the obligation of Lender to make any further advance or disbursement hereunder or preclude Lender from thereafter declaring the failure of the Borrower to satisfy such condition precedent to be an Event of Default. The making of an advance or disbursement hereunder shall not be deemed an approval or acceptance by Lender of any work or material theretofore completed, installed or delivered. Borrower agrees that Lender’s refusal to advance funds under the provisions of this Agreement shall not alter or diminish any of Borrower’s other obligations hereunder or prevent any failure of Borrower to perform any of its obligations from becoming an Event of Default.

Snow ski resort located in Vermont, to be in the approximate amount of $426,000.00, Borrower shall cause such Tax Refund to be immediately delivered to Lender.

7.1.                            No Further Disbursements. Lender has no obligation to disburse Loan proceeds after the Maturity Date, even if the Improvements have not been completed. In the event the Improvements have not been completed, Borrower agrees to complete the Improvements diligently using Borrower’s own funds.

ARTICLE VIII

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1.                            Indemnity. Except to the extent resulting solely from Lender’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, Borrower agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, suit, claim, expense, fees and costs (including, without limitation, any injury or damage to person and/or property occurring on or about the Premises, any court costs and attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) Lender’s entering into and/or carrying out the terms of this Agreement; (b) Lender’s being the holder of the Note or the Deed of Trust after Borrower’s default hereunder; (c) the operation or completion of construction of the Improvements.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document, then and in any such event, Lender may (but shall in no event be required to) make any payment or perform any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement required of Borrower, and/or cure any such Event of Default. In such event, Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of the actions taken or amounts expended by Lender. Any amounts expended by Lender in so doing, or in exercising its rights and remedies hereunder, shall constitute advances hereunder, the payment of which is additional indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents due and owing at Lender’s demand, with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of disbursement thereof until fully paid. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for such disbursements, and all such disbursements shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender with respect to the funds so disbursed. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall and hereby does constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to Lender to so disburse such funds and make such performance.

 

8.3.                            Assignments.

 

(a)                                 Lender. Lender may assign, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate all or any portion of this Agreement or grant participations herein, or in any of its rights and security hereunder, including, without limitation, the Mortgage and the Note and, in case of such assignment, Borrower will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of Lender in connection with the interest so assigned shall be

 

19

 

enforceable against Borrower by such assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such assignment. In connection with any such assignment, participation or other transfer, Borrower agrees that Lender may deliver copies to any potential participant or other transferee of all documents, instruments, financial statements and other information from time to time furnished to Lender pursuant hereto or in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, prior to the time the Loan is fully funded, Lender shall remain the lead lender and shall remain obligated to Borrower to fund the Loan (or to cause the Loan to be funded). From and after the date the Loan is fully funded, the Loan and all Loan Documents may be assigned by Lender, without Borrower’s consent, or Lender may sell participation interests in the Loan, to one or more institutional lenders, who shall succeed to Lenders rights, duties and obligations with respect to the Loan.

 

(b)                                 Borrower. Borrower shall not assign, attempt to assign or suffer the assignment of its rights under this Agreement, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior consent of Lender.

 

8.4.                            Lender’s Actions.

No person shall be entitled to rely upon, or claim to have relied upon, any action taken or failed to have been taken by Lender or any of its representatives.

 

8.5.                            Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement herein contained shall be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing. No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

 

8.7.                            Notices.
