A permitted Transfer will be effective as of the date specified in the instruments relating thereto.  Any assignee desiring to make a further Transfer will be subject to all of the provisions of this ARTICLE 9 to the same extent and in the same manner as any other Member desiring to make any Transfer.

(g)    the Transfer would not result in the “termination” of the Company in accordance with Section 708 of the Code;

20

Exhibit 10.1

(c)    The Transfer complies with the provisions of Section 9.2.  
(d)    The assignor Member (if living) states that such assignor Member intends for the assignee to be admitted as a Substitute Member of the Company in the instrument of assignment;

Such Assignee will only be entitled to receive the specific Economic Rights Transferred to the Assignee to which the assignor would otherwise be entitled to receive.  A permitted assignee who has become a Substitute Member has, to the extent of the Interest transferred to such assignee, all the rights and powers of the Person for whom such assignee is substituted as the Member and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement and the Act.  Upon admission of a permitted assignee as a Substitute Member, the assignor of the Interest so acquired by the Substitute Member will cease to be a Member of the Company to the extent of such transferred Interest.

No Assignee will have the right or power to Withdraw from the Company.  Any act or purported act of a Member or 

21

Exhibit 10.1

Assignee in violation of this Section 9.6 will be void and of no effect.  If a Member exercises any non-waivable statutory right to Withdraw from the Company, such Withdrawal will be a default or breach by the Member of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement and the Company may recover from such Member any damages incurred by the Company as a result of such Withdrawal and offset the damages against any amounts payable to such Member under the Act, the Certificate or this Agreement.  On the Withdrawal effective date, the Member will cease to be a Member and the Member will execute a bill of sale and assignment transferring its Units back to the Company.  The Company will not be obligated to obtain a release of the Withdrawing Member and its affiliates from any guarantee by it and them of any loan or lease for which the Company is liable at the time of the Member’s Withdrawal.  If the Withdrawing Member has an outstanding loan to the Company, the Company will remain obligated to repay such loan in accordance with the terms thereof, including, without limitation, the requirements of Section 4.1 above (as if the Withdrawing Member was still a Member for purposes of such Section 4.1).

The Company and the Titan Member shall split equally the Agreed Appraiser’s (or, as applicable, the Appointed Appraiser's) costs and fees.

(2)    The Titan Member shall assign, transfer, and convey the Put Interest held by it to the Company, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances (other than this Agreement), and shall execute and deliver to the Company any agreements, instruments, or documents as the Company shall reasonably request to effect the repurchase.

Section 9.8    Company Class B Repurchase Right.  
(c)    The Company shall have the right to repurchase and redeem all (but not less than all) of the Class B Units held by the Titan Member, subject to any restrictions under applicable law (the “Class B Repurchase Right”), if the Titan Member has not delivered a Put Notice on or before the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Put Event.  

(d)    Repurchase.  If the Company exercises its Class B Repurchase Right, the Company shall repurchase and redeem the Class B Redemption Interest.  The purchase price for the Class B Redemption Interest shall be determined in the same manner as the Put Price as set forth in Section 9.7(d) above, and the closing of the redemption of the Class B Redemption Interest shall be as effected for the Put Interest as set forth in Section 9.7(e) above.

TAX EXHIBIT

aDefinitions.  As used in this Tax Exhibit, the following terms will have the following meanings, unless the context otherwise specifies:
“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:  (i) increased for any amounts such Member is unconditionally obligated to restore and the amount of such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain after taking into account any changes during such year; and (ii) reduced by the items described in Treasury Regulation §§ 1.704‐1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).  
“Company Minimum Gain” will have the same meaning as partnership minimum gain set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(d).  Company Minimum Gain will be determined, first, by computing for each Nonrecourse Liability any gain which the Company would realize if the Company disposed of the property subject to that liability for no consideration other than full satisfaction of such liability and, then, aggregating the separately computed gains.  For purposes of computing gain, the Company will use the basis of such property which is used for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts under Section 3.2 of the Agreement.  In any taxable year in which a Revaluation occurs, the net increase or decrease in Company Minimum Gain for such taxable year will be determined by:  (1) calculating the net decrease or increase in Company Minimum Gain using the current year’s book value and the prior year’s amount of Company Minimum Gain, and (2) adding back any decrease in Company Minimum Gain arising solely from the Revaluation.  
“Credits” means all investment and other tax credits allowed by the Code with respect to activities of the Company or the Property.  
“Income” and “Loss” mean, respectively, for each fiscal year or other period, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a), except that for this purpose (i) all items of income, gain, deduction or loss required to be separately stated by Code Section 703(a)(1) will be included in taxable income or loss; (ii) tax exempt income will be added to taxable income or loss; (iii) any expenditures described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) (or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) and not otherwise taken into account in computing taxable income or loss will be subtracted; and (iv) taxable income or loss will be adjusted to reflect any item of income or loss specifically allocated in ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement.
“Member Minimum Gain” will have the same meaning as partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain as set forth in Treasury Regulation § l.704‐2(i)(3).  With respect to each Member Nonrecourse Debt, Member Minimum Gain will be determined by computing for each Member Nonrecourse Debt any gain which the Company would realize if the Company disposed of the property subject to that liability for no consideration other than full satisfaction of such liability.  

C-1

Exhibit 10.1

For purposes of computing gain, the Company will use the basis of such property which is used for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts.  In any taxable year in which a Revaluation occurs, the net increase or decrease in Member Minimum Gain for such taxable year will be determined by:  (i) calculating the net decrease or increase in Member Minimum Gain using the current year’s book value and the prior year’s amount of Member Minimum Gain, and (ii) adding back any decrease in Member Minimum gain arising solely from the Revaluation.  
“Member Nonrecourse Debt” will have the same meaning as partner nonrecourse debt set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(b)(4).  
“Member Nonrecourse Deductions” will have the same meaning as partner nonrecourse deductions set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(i)(2).  Generally, the amount of Member Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt for a fiscal year equals the net increase during the year in the amount of Member Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(i)) reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate distributions made during the year of proceeds of a Member Nonrecourse Debt and allocable to the increase in Member Minimum Gain, determined according to the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(i).  
“Nonrecourse Deduction” will have the same meaning as nonrecourse deductions set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(b)(1).  Generally, the amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a fiscal year equals the net increase in the amount of Company Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(d)) during such year reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate distributions made during the year of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain, determined according to the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(c) and (h).  
“Nonrecourse Liability” means a Company liability with respect to which no Member bears the economic risk of loss as determined under Treasury Regulation § 1.752‐1(a)(2).  
“Revaluation” means the occurrence of an event described in clause (v), (w), (x), (y) or (z) of Section 2 below in which the book basis of Property is adjusted to its Fair Value.  
“Tax Matters Partner” has the meaning set forth in Section 8.5(b).
 “Treasury Regulations” means the regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department with respect to the Code, as such regulations are amended from time to time, or corresponding provisions of future regulations.
bCapital Accounts.  Each Member’s Capital Account will be (a) increased by (i) the amount of money contributed by such Member, (ii) the Fair Value of property contributed by such Member (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), (iii) allocations to such Member, in accordance with ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement, of Company income and gain (or items thereof), and (iv) to the extent not already netted out under clause (b)(ii) below, the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by the Member or which are secured by any property distributed to such Member; and (b) 

C-2

Exhibit 10.1

decreased by (i) the amount of money distributed to such Member, (ii) the Fair Value of property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), (iii) allocations to such Member, in accordance with ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement, of Company loss and deduction (or items thereof), and (iv) to the extent not already netted out under clause (a)(ii) above, the amount of any liabilities of the Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company.  
In the event any interest in the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the assignee will succeed to the Capital Account of the assignor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest, except as otherwise provided in the written transfer agreement between the assignor and assignee.  
In the event of (v) the grant of a more than de minimis Interest in the Company as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Company by an existing Member acting in a Member capacity, or by a new Member acting in a Member capacity or in anticipation of being a member, (w) an additional capital contribution by an existing or an additional Member of more than a de minimis amount or a distribution of property which results in a shift in Percentage Interests, (x) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of property (other than cash), (y) a distribution of Property in exchange for an Interest, or (z) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the book basis of the Company Property will be adjusted to Fair Value and the Capital Accounts of all the Members will be adjusted simultaneously to reflect the aggregate net adjustment to book basis as if the Company recognized gain and loss equal to the amount of such aggregate net adjustment.  
If Property is subject to Code Section 704(c) or is revalued on the books of the Company in accordance with the preceding paragraph in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Treasury Regulations, the Members’ Capital Accounts will be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Treasury Regulations for allocations to the Members of depreciation, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes (and not tax purposes) with respect to such Property.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 2 and the other provisions of the Agreement relating to the maintenance of capital accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐1(b) and Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.  To the extent necessary to comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), a Member’s Capital Account will be reduced for the adjustments and allocations set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).  In the event a Majority in Interest determines that it is prudent or advisable to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases thereto, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, such Majority in Interest may cause such modification to be made without the consent of all the Members, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member upon the dissolution of the Company.  In addition, a Majority in Interest 

C-3

Exhibit 10.1

may amend this Agreement in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations as provided in Section 3(j) of this Tax Exhibit.
cSpecial Rules Regarding Allocation of Tax Items.  Notwithstanding the provisions of ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement, the following special rules will apply in allocating the net income or net loss of the Company:
(a)Section 704(c) and Revaluation Allocations.  In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and notwithstanding any subsequent repeal or modification thereof, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company will, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Fair Value at the time of contribution.  In the event of the occurrence of a Revaluation, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property will take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Fair Value immediately after the adjustment in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  Allocations in accordance with this Section 3(a) are solely for income tax purposes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account, distributions or share of income or loss, in accordance with any provision of this Agreement.  
(b)Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, each Member will be allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such year (hereinafter referred to as the “Minimum Gain Chargeback Requirement”).  A Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain is the amount of the total decrease multiplied by the Member’s percentage share of the Company Minimum Gain at the end of the immediately preceding taxable year.  A Member is not subject to the Minimum Gain Chargeback Requirement to the extent:  (i) the Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain is caused by a guarantee, refinancing or other change in the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly recourse debt or a Member Nonrecourse Liability, and the Member bears the economic risk of loss for the newly guaranteed, refinanced or otherwise changed liability; (ii) the Member contributes capital to the Company that is used to repay the Nonrecourse Liability and the Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain results from the repayment; or (iii) the Minimum Gain Chargeback Requirement would cause a distortion and the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service waives such requirement.  
A Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain will be computed in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(g) and as of the end of any Company taxable year will equal:  (1) the sum of the nonrecourse deductions allocated to that Member up to that time and the distributions made to that Member up to that time of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability allocable to an increase of Company Minimum Gain, minus (2) the sum of that Member’s 

C-4

Exhibit 10.1

aggregate share of net decrease in Company Minimum Gain plus his aggregate share of decreases resulting from revaluations of Company Property subject to Nonrecourse Liabilities.  In addition, a Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain will be adjusted for the conversion of recourse and Member Nonrecourse Liabilities into Nonrecourse Liabilities in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(g)(3).  In computing the above, amounts allocated or distributed to the Member’s predecessor in interest will be taken into account.  
(c)Member Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, any Member with a share of that Member Minimum Gain (determined under Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the year will be allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain.  In accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(i)(4), a Member is not subject to the Member Minimum Gain Chargeback requirement to the extent the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain arises because the liability ceases to be Member Nonrecourse Debt due to a conversion, refinancing or other change in the debt instrument that causes it to be partially or wholly a nonrecourse debt.  The amount that would otherwise be subject to the Member Minimum Gain Chargeback requirement is added to the Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain.  
(d)Qualified Income Offset.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation § 1.704.1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), which causes or increases such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income, and gain for such year) will be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation under this Section 3(d) will be made if and only to the extent such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations under ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement have been made.  
(e)Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period will be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.  
(f)Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  Any Member Nonrecourse Deduction will be allocated to the Member who bears the risk of loss with respect to the loan to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.704‐2(i).  
(g)Curative Allocations.  Any special allocations of items of income, gain, deduction or loss in accordance with Sections 3(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (h) of this Tax Exhibit will be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of income and gain in accordance with ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement, so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Member in accordance with ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement will, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been 

C-5

Exhibit 10.1

allocated to each such Member in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement if such adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.  
(h)Loss Allocation Limitation.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of ARTICLE 4 of the Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by all of the Members, no Member will be allocated Loss in any taxable year which would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of such taxable year.  
(i)Share of Nonrecourse Liabilities.  Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.752‐3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Company profits is equal to its respective Percentage Interest.  
(j)Compliance with Treasury Regulations.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 3 are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation §§ 1.704‐1, 1.704‐2 and 1.752‐1 through 1.752‐5, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.  In the event it is determined by a Majority in Interest that it is prudent or advisable to so amend this Agreement in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, such Majority in Interest is empowered to amend or modify this Agreement without the consent of all the Members, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement.  
(k)General Allocation Provisions.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items that are components of Income or Loss will be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share such net income or net loss, as the case may be, for the year.  For purposes of determining the Income, Loss or any other items for any period, Income, Loss or any such other items will be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Manager using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

THE LOAN
Section 2.1.    Agreement to Lend.  Lender hereby agrees to lend up to but not in excess of the Loan Amount to Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to borrow such sum from Lender, all upon and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such sum to be evidenced by the Note.  Borrower's liability for repayment of the interest on account of the Loan shall be limited to and calculated with respect to Loan proceeds actually disbursed to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Note and only from the date or dates of such disbursements.  Lender may, in Lender's discretion, disburse Loan proceeds by journal entry to pay interest and financing costs and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, disburse Loan proceeds directly to third parties to pay costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.  Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender by journal entry to pay interest or financing costs, and Loan proceeds disbursed directly by Lender to pay costs or expenses required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute Advances to Borrower.
Section 2.2.    Promise to Pay and Perform; Time of Essence.  Borrower will pay the Indebtedness as and when specified in the Note and the other Loan Documents, and will perform and discharge all of the Obligations, in full and on or before the date same are to be performed.  Time is of the essence with respect to each and every promise, covenant or obligation of Borrower specified in the Loan Documents.
Section 2.3.    Extension Options.  Borrower shall have the right and option (the "First Extension Option") to extend the Original Maturity Date to a date ending upon the expiration of the First Extension Period.  To the extent Borrower properly exercises the First Extension Option, then Borrower shall have the further right and option (the "Second Extension Option") to extend the Maturity Date a second and 

15

Exhibit 10.2

last time to a date ending upon the expiration of the Second Extension Period.  Each of the Extension Options shall be granted to Borrower only if all of the following conditions have been satisfied as of the commencement date of the applicable Extension Period (unless an earlier date is specified hereinbelow):
(a)    receipt by Lender of a written request of Borrower (in each instance, an "Extension Request") given to Lender (i) in the case of the First Extension Option, not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the Original Maturity Date but not more than ninety (90) days prior to the Original Maturity Date, and (ii) in the case of the Second Extension Option, not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the First Extension Period but no more than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the First Extension Period;
(b)    Borrower's satisfaction of all those requirements contained in Section 3.4 hereof and Lender's determination that Completion has occurred;
(c)    payment to Lender in cash, of the Extension Fee;
(d)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then existing;
(e)    no Material Adverse Change;
(f)    receipt by Lender (at Borrower's sole cost and expense) in form and substance acceptable to Lender as of the date of the Extension Request of an appraisal evidencing an Appraised Value resulting in a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to sixty-five percent (65%);
(g)    to the extent Lender shall have determined that any of the Reserves are then currently underfunded in Lender's reasonable discretion, then Borrower shall have effectuated additional deposits into such Reserves to satisfy such concern; and
(h)    Borrower shall have provided Lender with a then current Compliance Certificate including written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall then equal or exceed 1.50.
Section 2.4.    Application of Proceeds.  Unless specifically otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to apply any proceeds or payments or other sums received (including, without limitation, any rents, applied reserves, insurance or condemnation proceeds, the Additional Tax Increment Financing Proceeds, or other proceeds of sale, lease or other disposition of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property) in such order and priority against the Indebtedness and Obligations as Lender may elect; provided, however, absent the election to the contrary by Lender such proceeds or payments shall be applied in the following order and priority:  (i) to the payment of all expenses of advertising, selling, and conveying the Mortgaged Property or part thereof, and/or prosecuting or otherwise collecting Rents, proceeds, premiums, or other sums including reasonable attorneys' fees and a reasonable fee or commission to any trustee under the Lien Instrument, not to exceed five percent (5%) of the proceeds thereof or sums so received; (ii) to the remainder of the Indebtedness as follows:  first, to the remaining accrued but unpaid interest, second, to the matured portion of principal of the Indebtedness, and third, to prepayment of the unmatured portion, if any, of principal of the Indebtedness applied to installments of principal in inverse order of maturity; (iii) the balance, if any and to the extent applicable, remaining after the full and final payment of the Indebtedness and full performance and discharge of the Obligations to the holder of any inferior liens covering the Mortgaged Property, if any, in order of the priority of such inferior liens (Lender shall hereby be entitled to rely exclusively upon a commitment for title insurance issued to determine such priority); and (iv) the cash balance, if any, to Borrower.  The application of proceeds of sale or other proceeds as otherwise provided herein shall be deemed to be a payment of the Indebtedness like any other payment.  The balance of the Indebtedness remaining unpaid, if any, shall remain fully due and owing in accordance with the terms of the Note or the other Loan Documents.  The 

16

Exhibit 10.2

application of proceeds described herein shall not apply to any proceeds which may be realized by Lender with respect to any of the Mortgaged Property following a foreclosure (or foreclosures) of the Lien Instrument.
Section 2.5.    Loan Limitation.
(a)    It is expressly agreed and understood that Borrower shall not request, and Lender shall have no obligation to fund, any Advance in excess of the lesser of (i) the actual construction costs incurred by Borrower for which such Advance is provided or (ii) the budgeted amount of such costs in accordance with the Budget; and
(b)    If, as a result of the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change, any test appraisal is required or desired by Lender, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Comptroller of Currency or any other governmental entity or quasi‐governmental entity which has the authority and power to regulate the business and other activities of Lender ("Regulatory Authority"), Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days following a request therefor by Lender, furnish to Lender (at Borrower's sole cost and expense) an appraisal in form, substance and by an appraising firm acceptable to Lender and, if applicable, the Regulatory Authority requiring such appraisal pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), provided that, absent an Event of Default, Borrower shall not be required to furnish more than one (1) such test appraisals in any calendar year.  In the event Borrower should fail to timely provide an acceptable appraisal of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Section, then, and in such event, Lender shall be entitled to obtain its own appraisal of the Mortgaged Property at Borrower's sole cost and expense.  Lender shall further be entitled, at any time, to obtain an appraisal on its own, and at its own expense, and any such appraisal obtained by Lender may be utilized by Lender (even in lieu of other available appraisals) to undertake any loan‐to‐value calculations described in the Loan Documents.
Section 2.6.    Equity Requirements.  Borrower shall fund a total equity investment valued at no less than ELEVEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTEEN THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($11,818,000.00) (the “Total Borrower Equity”).  The Total Borrower Equity shall consist of a minimum cash equity contribution of no less than EIGHT MILLION THREE HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/DOLLARS ($8,329,500.00) and shall consist of the following other equity contributions:
(a)    Borrower’s equity in the Land, which equity contribution shall be deemed to be the Designated Land Value; and
(b)    cash in an amount equal to the Initial Tax Increment Financing Proceeds as and when actually funded.
In order for a Borrower equity investment to count against the requirement specified in this Section 2.6, such investment must be used for Project Costs verified by Lender as being consistent with the Budget.  Any Project Costs incurred in excess of the applicable allocated line item therefor in the Budget (after taking into account any reallocations as described in Section 3.1(b) hereof) shall be paid out of Borrower's equity in addition to the required equity contribution specified herein.  All cash equity contributions shall be funded into the Construction Account pursuant to Section 5.31 hereof
Section 2.7.    Not Revolver.  This Loan facility is not intended, in whole or in part, to be "revolving" in nature and it is expressly agreed that no principal amount repaid by Borrower may be reborrowed by Borrower.
ARTICLE III
ALLOCATIONS AND ADVANCES

17

Exhibit 10.2

Section 3.1.    General Provisions with Respect to Allocations and Advances.  The purposes for which Loan proceeds are allocated and the respective amounts of such Allocations are set forth in the Budget.  The Allocations shall be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Budget.
(a)    Limitation on Advances.  Lender shall not be obligated to make an Advance for an Allocation set forth in the Budget to the extent that the amount of the Advance for such Allocation would, when added to all prior Advances for such Allocation, exceed the total of such Allocation as set forth in the Budget.  To the extent that Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender pursuant to the Allocations are insufficient to pay all costs required for the acquisition, development, construction and completion of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower shall pay such excess costs with funds derived from sources other than the Loan.  Under no circumstances shall Lender be required to disburse any proceeds of the Loan in excess of the Loan Amount.
(b)    Reallocations.  Borrower shall generally not be entitled to require that Lender reallocate funds among the Allocations; provided, however, (i) disbursements from the Contingency Allocation shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(a) hereof, and (ii) true cost savings incurred relative to a particular Allocation (either calculated on an actual basis upon completion of all activities with respect to such Allocation or estimated with such estimation verified by Lender, in Lender's reasonable discretion) may be reallocated by Borrower to another line item within the Budget so long as no such reallocation shall move monies (A) away from any of the Interest and Operating Loss Allocation, the Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions Allocation or the Tax and Insurance Allocation or (B) to any Allocation other than for true hard costs or payments to an engineer or architect and, in any event, not to any line item attributable to payments to any Affiliate of Borrower.  Except for a Permitted Change, Lender reserves the right, at its option, to disburse Loan proceeds allocated to any of the Allocations for such other purposes or in such different proportions as Lender may, in its reasonable discretion, deem necessary or advisable.  
(c)    Withholding.  Lender may withhold from an Advance or, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold from a later Advance under this Agreement or require Borrower to repay to Lender the whole or any part of any earlier Advance to such extent as may be necessary to protect Lender from loss on account of (i) defective work not remedied or requirements of this Agreement not performed; (ii) liens filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable filing of liens; (iii) failure of Borrower to make payments to subcontractors for material or labor; or (iv) a reasonable doubt that the construction can be completed for the balance of the Loan Amount then undisbursed (unless such shortfall has already been satisfied pursuant to a Borrower’s Deposit).  When all such grounds are removed, payment shall be made of any amount so withheld because of them.
(d)    Advance Not A Waiver or Acceptance.  No Advance of the proceeds of the Loan shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender's obligation to make further Advances, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default.  The making of any Advance or part thereof shall also not be deemed an approval or acceptance by Lender of any work done.
(e)    Time and Place of Advances.  All Advances are to be made at the office of Lender, or at such other place as Lender may designate; and Lender shall require ten (10) days' prior notice in writing before the making of any such Advance.  Lender shall not be obligated to undertake any Advance hereunder more than once in any 30‐day period.  Except as set forth in this Agreement, all Advances are to be made by direct deposit into either the Construction Account or the Operating 

18

Exhibit 10.2

Account.  In the event Borrower shall part with or be in any manner whatever deprived of Borrower's interests in and to the Land, Lender may, at Lender's option but without any obligation to do so, continue to make Advances under this Agreement, and subject to all its terms and conditions, to such Person or Persons as may succeed to Borrower's title and interest and all sums so disbursed shall be deemed Advances under this Agreement and secured by the Lien Instrument and all other liens or security interests securing the Loan.
(f)    Retainage.  An amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the hard cost of construction of the Improvements shall be retained by Lender and shall be paid over by Lender to Borrower, provided that no lien claims are then filed against the Mortgaged Property, except for Contested Items, when all of the requirements for the final Advance specified in Section 3.4 have been satisfied; provided, however, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a release of that portion of the retainage applicable to a particular Contract when the work to be provided by such Contractor has been completed, a full lien waiver has been obtained from that Contractor and normal and customary confirmation and safeguards followed in accordance with local law.
(g)    Use of Funds from Advances.  Borrower shall use the proceeds from all Advances consistent with the Budget and with Borrower's request for such Advance (once approved by Lender).
(h)    Designation of Source of Funding.  To the extent any particular cost item is of a nature that it may be susceptible to funding by way of an Advance or a disbursement from one of the Reserves, Lender shall be entitled to designate which available source of funding shall be utilized with respect to any such cost item.
Section 3.2.    Conditions to Initial Advance.  The obligation of Lender to make the Initial Advance hereunder, is subject to the prior or simultaneous occurrence of each of the following conditions:

(p)    any other evidence or information concerning Completion that Lender reasonably requires.
Section 3.5.    Special Allocations.
(c)    Contingency Allocation.  Advances from the Allocation identified as "Contingency" or similar in the Budget (the "Contingency Allocation") may, in Lender's reasonable discretion, be made to pay unanticipated or contingent costs and expenses of constructing, developing, maintaining, leasing and promoting the Mortgaged Property and such other unanticipated or contingent costs or expenses with respect to the Mortgaged Property.  Absent Lender's election to do otherwise, the Contingency Allocation amount shall only be advanced as follows:  (a) no more than fifty percent (50%) of the contingency line item shall be advanced until the Improvements are at least fifty percent (50%) complete (according to the Inspecting Person); (b) no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the contingency line item shall be advanced until the Improvements are at least seventy-five percent (75%) complete (according to the Inspecting Person); and (c) the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the contingency line item shall not 

23

Exhibit 10.2

be advanced until after the Improvements are greater than seventy-five percent (75%) complete (according to the Inspecting Person).  Furthermore, Advances from the Contingency Allocation shall be made to Borrower not more frequently than one (1) time per month contemporaneously with the time of an Advance hereunder.
(d)    Developer's Fee Allocation.  Advances from the Allocation identified as "Developer Fee" or "Predevelopment Fee" (the "Developer's Fee Allocation") may be made for the payment of all development fees; provided, however, such Advances shall be limited to a sum equal to (i) 22% of the aggregate amount so allocated pursuant to the Budget to be paid prior to the commencement of construction, (ii) 60% of the amount so allocated to be paid no sooner than dictated by a percentage of completion basis determined by Lender utilizing information provided by the Inspecting Person and calculated without regard to soft costs or the Loan Amount, and (iii) the last 18% of such allocation to be funded only upon Lender’s receipt of all Certificates of Occupancy for the Improvements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby approves the terms and conditions, including any payment provisions, contained in that certain Development Services Agreement, as defined in Section 5.27 hereof.
(e)    Interest Allocation.  Advances from the Allocation identified as "Interest" or similar in the Budget (the "Interest Allocation") may be made for accrued but unpaid interest on each interest payment date specified in the Note.  Lender is hereby authorized (with or without Borrower's request) to credit the Note directly for such interest payment by interest journal entries on Lender's books and such amount shall be deemed an Advance.  Following Borrower's satisfaction of any equity requirements, Borrower may provide Lender with a Draw Request to make an interest Advance in the amount equal to the accrued but unpaid interest under the unpaid Note.  Upon the earlier of Stabilization and the Advance of the entire Interest Allocation, Borrower shall make interest payments directly to Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Note, but shall not be entitled to any other Advances to pay such interest.  Further, to the extent that either (i) there is sufficient Net Cash Flow or (ii) there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Cash Flow Reserve (and made available by Lender), such funds shall be utilized to pay the interest obligations on the Note prior to any Advance from the Interest Allocation.  Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the insufficiency of the amount of the Interest Allocation is not intended to, and shall therefore not, constitute a limitation on the obligation of Borrower to pay interest due and owing under the Note.
(f)    Operating Loss Allocation.  Advances from the Allocation identified as the "Operating Loss Allocation" or similar in the Budget (the "Operating Loss Allocation") may be made for bona fide operating losses (evidenced by Borrower’s financial statements) occurring with respect to the Mortgaged Property as Lender may approve.  Lender's consent with respect to any requested Advance from the Operating Loss Allocation shall be subject to Lender's sole discretion.  Upon the earlier of Stabilization and an Advance of the entire Operating Loss Allocation, Borrower shall fund further operating losses directly and shall not be entitled to any other Advances for such purpose.  Further, to the extent that there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Cash Flow Reserve (and made available by Lender), such funds shall be utilized to pay operating losses prior to any Advance from the Operating Loss Allocation.  Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the insufficiency of the amount of the Operating Loss Allocation is not intended to, and shall therefore not, constitute a limitation on the obligation of Borrower to pay operating losses.
(g)    Tax and Insurance Allocation.  Advances from the Allocation identified as "Taxes and Insurance" or similar in the Budget (the "Tax and Insurance Allocation") may be made for real estate taxes or for insurance premiums with respect to the Mortgaged Property.  Any Advance 

24

Exhibit 10.2

requested by Borrower from such Allocation shall be required to satisfy the same conditions as required for a disbursement from the Impositions Reserve as described in Section 6.6 hereof.  Upon the earlier of Borrower first being required to make deposits into the Impositions Reserve pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof or an Advance of the entire Tax and Insurance Allocation, Borrower shall fund further real estate tax and insurance premium costs directly (or, subject to the requirements of Section 6.6 hereof, from the Impositions Reserve) and shall not be entitled to any other Advance for such purpose.  Further, to the extent that either (i) there is sufficient Net Cash Flow or (ii) there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Cash Flow Reserve (and made available by Lender), such funds shall be utilized to pay the real estate taxes, and insurance premiums with respect to the Mortgaged Property prior to any Advance from the Tax and Insurance Allocation.  Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the insufficiency of the amount of the Tax and Insurance Allocation is not intended to, and shall therefore not, constitute a limitation on the obligation of Borrower to pay the real estate taxes and insurance premiums with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
Section 3.6.    Borrower's Deposit.  A Reserve account ("Borrower's Deposit") shall be established at Lender to the extent required pursuant to this Section 3.6 which Borrower's Deposit shall be managed and held in accordance with the terms of this provision.  Borrower shall have no access whatsoever to the Borrower's Deposit except pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.6.  If at any time Lender shall in its reasonable discretion deem that the undisbursed proceeds of the Loan are insufficient to meet the costs of completing construction of the Improvements plus the cost of insurance, ad valorem taxes, interest or other required payments on the Loan and other normal costs of the Improvements (including the operation thereof), Borrower shall deposit with Lender, within five (5) days of Lender's written request therefor, sufficient additional funds to cover the deficiency which Lender reasonably deems to exist.  All sums in the Borrower's Deposit shall be subject to designation by Lender as being allocated to interest carry, contingency or any other allocation as Lender may designate.  At Lender's discretion, monies in the Borrower's Deposit will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof as if they constituted a part of the Loan being made hereunder.
Section 3.7.    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  The benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party, nor shall this Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any materialmen, subcontractors, contractors, laborers or others for goods and materials supplied or work and labor furnished in connection with the construction of the Improvements or for debts or claims accruing to any such Persons against Borrower.  Lender shall not be liable for the manner in which any Advances under this Agreement may be applied by Borrower, Contractor and any of Borrower's other contractors or subcontractors.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties hereto, before or after signing the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any rights, claims or causes of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier of labor or materials, or any of their respective creditors, or any other Person other than Borrower.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Advances made to any contractor, subcontractor or supplier of labor or materials, pursuant to any requests for Advances, whether or not such request is required to be approved by Borrower, shall not be deemed a recognition by Lender of a third‐party borrower status of any such Person.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS OF BORROWER
Borrower hereby unconditionally covenants and agrees with Lender, until the Loan shall have been paid in full and the lien of the Lien Instrument shall have been released, as follows:
Section 5.1.    Existence.  Borrower will and will cause each Constituent Party to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence (separate and apart from its Affiliates), rights, franchises and trade names.
Section 5.2.    Compliance with Legal Requirements.  Borrower will promptly and faithfully (and will promptly and faithfully cause the Mortgaged Property to) comply with, conform to and obey all Legal Requirements, whether the same shall necessitate structural changes in, improvements to or interfere with the use or enjoyment of the Mortgaged Property.
Section 5.3.    Payment of Impositions.  Except for Contested Items, Borrower will duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, the Impositions not later than the earlier to occur of (i) the due date thereof; (ii) the day any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto or imposed; or (iii) the day any lien may be filed for the nonpayment thereof (if such day is used to determine the due date of the respective item), and Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written receipt evidencing the payment of the respective Imposition.
Section 5.4.    Repair.  Upon Completion, Borrower will keep the Mortgaged Property in no less than an industry standard condition for new projects similar in nature and location to the Improvements 

29

Exhibit 10.2

and will make all repairs, replacements, renewals, additions, betterments, improvements and alterations thereof and thereto, interior and exterior, structural and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, which are necessary or reasonably appropriate to keep same in such order and condition.
Section 5.5.    Insurance.  Borrower shall, at Borrower's expense, maintain in force and effect on the Mortgaged Property at all times while this Agreement continues in effect insurance coverage satisfying Lender's then current requirements and criteria (including, without limitation, Lender's requirements as to amount, identity of insurer and nature of coverage).  All such insurance shall (i) be with insurers authorized to do business in the state in which the Land is situated and who have and maintain a rating of at least A‐, V or better from Best's Insurance Guide; (ii) contain the complete address of the Land (or a complete legal description); (iii) be for a term of at least one (1) year; (iv) contain deductibles no greater than Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) or as otherwise required by Lender; and (v) be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, content, forms of policies, method by which premiums are paid and expiration dates.  Borrower shall as of the date hereof deliver to Lender evidence that said insurance policies have been paid current as of the date hereof and certified copies of such insurance policies and original certificates of insurance signed by an authorized agent evidencing such insurance satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower shall renew all such insurance and deliver to Lender certificates evidencing such renewals at least fifteen (15) days before any such insurance shall expire.  Without limiting the required endorsements to insurance policies, Borrower further agrees that all such policies shall provide that proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Lender, its successors and assigns, pursuant and subject to a mortgagee clause (without contribution) of standard form attached to, or otherwise made a part of, the applicable policy and that Lender, its successors and assigns, shall be named as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies.  Borrower further agrees that all such insurance policies:  (i) shall provide for at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice to Lender prior to any cancellation or termination thereof and prior to any modification thereof which affects the interest of Lender; (ii) shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable to Lender in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might otherwise result in forfeiture of such insurance; and (iii) shall either name Lender as an additional insured or waive all rights of subrogation against Lender.  The delivery to Lender of the insurance policies or the certificates of insurance as provided above shall constitute an assignment of all proceeds payable under such insurance policies by Borrower to Lender as further security for the Indebtedness secured hereby.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender Borrower's environmental insurance policies satisfactory to Lender, which policies shall name Lender an additional insured under such environmental insurance policies.

Approval of any insurance by Lender shall not be a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance.

Any amounts so advanced by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be secured by this Agreement, the Lien Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the Indebtedness.  Lender shall not be responsible for nor incur any liability for the insolvency of the insurer or other failure of the insurer to perform, even though Lender has caused the insurance to be placed with the insurer after failure of Borrower to furnish such insurance.

Borrower shall cause Property Manager to follow a procedure such that all Rents generated by or derived from the Mortgaged Property (exclusive of security deposits, which shall be deposited into the Security Deposits Trust Account) shall be deposited into the Operating Account and shall first be utilized solely for current expenses directly attributable to the ownership and operation of the Mortgaged Property including, without limitation, current expenses relating to Borrower's liabilities and obligations with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and none of the Rents generated by or derived from the Mortgaged Property shall be diverted by Borrower (or Property Manager) and utilized for any other purpose; provided, however, absent the then existence of an Event of Default and so long as not otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents, this provision shall not prohibit the distribution of any residual net operating income from the Mortgaged Property to the owners of Borrower after all current expenses and obligations to Lender and all current Mortgaged Property expenses and appropriate reserves have been satisfied and funded.
(d)    Any Property Manager shall be required to execute an Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement in form and content approved by Lender.  To the extent a new Property Manager should be retained, such new Property Manager shall be required, as a condition to its being retained, to execute a substitute Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement with respect to the new Property Management Agreement also in a form fully acceptable to Lender.
Section 5.33.    Approved Operating Budget.  Borrower shall submit to Lender for Lender's written approval a proposed annual budget for the operation of the Mortgaged Property not later than sixty (60) days prior to Completion (for the remainder of the calendar year in which Completion occurs) and thereafter no later than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year, in form satisfactory to Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail Borrower's budgeted monthly operating income and monthly operating capital and other expenses for the Mortgaged Property.  Each proposed annual budget shall contain, among other things, limitations on management fees, third party service fees, and other expenses as the Borrower may reasonably propose.  Lender shall have the right to approve such proposed annual budget which approval may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion, and in the event that Lender objects to the proposed annual budget submitted by Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrower of such objections and Borrower shall within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of any such 

39

Exhibit 10.2

objections revise such proposed annual budget and resubmit the same to Lender.  The foregoing process shall be repeated as often as necessary until such time as a proposed annual budget has been fully approved by Lender, at which time such proposed annual budget shall be deemed to be the "Approved Operating Budget".  If, at any time, Borrower fails to provide a proposed annual budget or Borrower and Lender do not reach agreement on an Approved Operating Budget, Lender shall be entitled to designate a budget to serve as the Approved Operating Budget until such time as agreement can be reached.
Section 5.34.    Approved NWRA Pledge.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender agrees that it has, contemporaneously herewith, allowed NWRA Pledgor to pledge its interests in Borrower (the "Approved NWRA Pledge") to secure a $50,000,000.00 loan made by NWRA Pledgee to Guarantor (the "NWRA Loan") pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of June 7, 2011, by and between NWRA Pledgee and Guarantor, which portion of the NWRA Loan secured by the Approved NWRA Pledge shall not exceed $2,065,000.00 in the aggregate, subject to Pledgor’s strict compliance with the following requirements:
(a)    The Approved NWRA Pledge shall only be undertaken pursuant to the NWRA Pledge Documents previously approved by Lender and executed contemporaneously herewith with only such amendments or modifications thereto as expressly permitted by, and implemented in accordance with, in the NWRA Intercreditor Agreement; and
(b)    The Approved NWRA Pledge shall not be secured by a lien on the Mortgaged Property or constitute an obligation of Borrower but, rather, shall constitute an obligation of the Pledgor and any guarantor thereof and shall be secured by a security interest in (i) NWRA Pledgor's membership interests in Borrower and (ii) such other collateral set forth in the NWRA Pledge Documents previously approved by Lender.  In no event shall NWRA Pledgor attempt to grant any lien or security interest in the Mortgaged Property to secure the Approved NWRA Pledge.
Section 5.35.    NWRA Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the holder of the Approved NWRA Pledge shall not be entitled to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies under the NWRA Pledge Documents except in a manner consistent with the NWRA Intercreditor Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
ASSIGNMENTS, CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION AND RESERVES
Section 6.1.    Assignment of Plans.  As additional security for the Loan, Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to Lender all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Plans and hereby represents and warrants to and agrees with Lender as follows:
(q)    Each schedule of the Plans delivered or to be delivered to Lender is and shall be a complete and accurate description of the Plans.
(r)    The Plans are and shall be complete and adequate for the construction of the Improvements and there have been no modifications thereof except as described in such schedule.  Except  as a part of a Permitted Change, the Plans shall not be modified without the prior written consent of Lender.
(s)    Lender may use the Plans for any purpose relating to the Improvements, including inspections of the construction and completion of the Improvements.
(t)    Lender's acceptance of this assignment shall not constitute approval of the Plans by Lender.  Lender has no liability or obligation in connection with the Plans and no responsibility for the adequacy thereof or for the construction of the Improvements contemplated by the Plans.  Lender has no duty to inspect the Improvements, and if Lender should inspect the Improvements, 

40

Exhibit 10.2

Lender shall have no liability or obligation to Borrower or any other party arising out of such inspection.  No such inspection nor any failure by Lender to make objections after any such inspection shall constitute a representation by Lender that the Improvements are in accordance with the Plans or any other requirement or constitute a waiver of Lender's right thereafter to insist that the Improvements be constructed in accordance with the Plans or any other requirement.
(u)    This assignment shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, any purchaser upon foreclosure of the Lien Instrument, any receiver in possession of the Mortgaged Property and any corporation affiliated with Lender which assumes Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Section 6.2.    Assignment of Contracts.  As additional security for the Loan, Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to Lender all of Borrower's rights and interest, but not its obligations, in, under and to each Contract (including, without limitation, the Construction Contract and any agreement with a Design Professional) upon the following terms and conditions:
(h)    Borrower represents and warrants that the copy of each Contract Borrower has furnished or will furnish to Lender is or will be (as applicable) a true and complete copy thereof, including all amendments thereto, if any, and that Borrower's interest therein is not subject to any claim, setoff or encumbrance.
(i)    Neither this assignment nor any action by Lender shall constitute an assumption by Lender of any obligations under any Contract, and Borrower shall continue to be liable for all obligations of Borrower thereunder, Borrower hereby agreeing to perform all of its obligations under each Contract.  EXCEPT FOR THOSE LOSSES, COSTS, LIABILITIES OR EXPENSES THAT ARE CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER, BORROWER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS AGAINST AND FROM ANY LOSS, COST, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) RESULTING FROM ANY FAILURE OF BORROWER TO SO PERFORM.
(j)    Lender shall have the right at any time (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of Borrower such action as Lender may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any default under any Contract or to protect the rights of Borrower or Lender thereunder.  EXCEPT FOR THOSE ACTIONS THAT ARE CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER, LENDER SHALL INCUR NO LIABILITY IF ANY ACTION SO TAKEN BY IT OR IN ITS BEHALF SHALL PROVE TO BE INADEQUATE OR INVALID, AND BORROWER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS AGAINST AND FROM ANY LOSS, COST, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION.
(k)    Upon and Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney‐in‐fact, in Borrower's or Lender's name, to enforce all rights of Borrower under each Contract.  Such appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable.
(l)    In the absence of a continuing Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to exercise its rights as owner under each Contract, provided that Borrower shall not cancel or materially amend any Contract or do or suffer to be done any act which would impair the security constituted by this assignment without the prior written consent of Lender.

41

Exhibit 10.2

(m)    This assignment shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, any purchaser upon foreclosure of the Lien Instrument, any receiver in possession of the Mortgaged Property and any corporation affiliated with Lender which assumes Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Section 6.3.    Assignment of Proceeds.  Borrower hereby further transfers and assigns to Lender and acknowledges that Lender shall be entitled to receive (i) any and all sums which may be awarded and become payable to Borrower for condemnation of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the proceeds of any and all insurance upon the Mortgaged Property (other than the proceeds of general public liability insurance).
(a)    Borrower shall, upon request of Lender, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all additional assignments and documents as may be necessary from time to time to enable Lender to collect and receive any such insurance or condemnation proceeds.
(b)    Lender shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any of such sums.
(c)    Any sums so received by Lender pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be applied to the liquidation of the Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4 hereof, except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 hereof.
Section 6.4.    Limited Right to Use Casualty Insurance Proceeds.  Borrower will give Lender prompt notice of any damage to or destruction of the Mortgaged Property, and:
(a)    In case of loss covered by policies of insurance, Lender (or, after foreclosure, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale) is hereby authorized, at Lender's option, either (i) to settle and adjust any claim under such policies without the consent of Borrower, or (ii) allow Borrower to agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss; provided that Borrower may adjust losses aggregating not in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) if such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and provided that in any case Lender shall and is hereby authorized to collect and receive any such insurance proceeds; and the expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be so much additional Indebtedness hereby secured and shall be reimbursed to Lender upon demand.
(b)    In the event of any insured damage to or destruction of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof (herein called an "Insured Casualty") which is a Restoration Casualty, then the proceeds of insurance shall be applied to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Mortgaged Property or part thereof subject to such Restoration Casualty, as provided for below; and Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding; provided always, that Borrower shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding in excess of the net proceeds of insurance made available pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c)    Except as provided above, the proceeds of insurance resulting from any Insured Casualty shall be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness hereby secured.
(d)    In the event that proceeds of insurance, if any, shall be made available to Borrower for the restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower hereby covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law and plans and specifications approved in advance by Lender.

42

Exhibit 10.2

In the event Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance proceeds held by Lender, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding; (ii) funds, or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance to complete the proposed restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding; and (iii) such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for such restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work.  No payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration, repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed the value or cost of the work performed from time to time (less retainage required pursuant to Section 3.1(f) hereof); funds other than proceeds of insurance shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien.  Any surplus which may remain out of insurance proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall be paid to any party entitled thereto.
Section 6.5.    Limited Right to Use Condemnation Proceeds.  Borrower will give Lender prompt notice of any instituted or threatened condemnation proceeding affecting a part of the Mortgaged Property, and:
(a)    If there shall occur any condemnation of a part of the Mortgaged Property, and if in the judgment of Lender the Mortgaged Property can be restored, within a reasonable time and in any event prior to six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, to an economic unit not less valuable than the same was prior to such condemnation and adequately securing the Indebtedness, then, if and so long as there is no continuing Event of Default hereunder, Lender will make available to Borrower, for such restoration, proceeds of condemnation, if any, collected by Lender because of the act or occurrence and not restricted by any adverse claim thereto.
(b)    Except as provided above, the proceeds from any condemnation or similar proceeding shall be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness.
(c)    In the event that the proceeds of condemnation or similar proceeding, if any, shall be made available to Borrower for the restoration of the Mortgaged Property, Borrower hereby covenants to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effective in accordance with applicable law and plans and specifications approved in advance by Lender.
Section 6.6.    Reserve for Impositions and Insurance Premiums.
(a)    Upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Amortization Commencement Date, (ii) the depletion of the Tax and Insurance Allocation, or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall create a Reserve (the "Impositions Reserve") for the payment of all insurance premiums and Impositions against or affecting the Mortgaged Property.
(i)    The Impositions Reserve shall be funded by an initial deposit designated by Lender and paid by Borrower upon the establishment of the Impositions Reserve and by additional monthly deposits to be made by Borrower thereafter on the first (1st) day of 

43

Exhibit 10.2

each succeeding calendar month for the remaining term of the Loan.  The initial deposit designated by Lender shall take into account the due date (or, as applicable, earliest payment date without penalty) applicable for both Impositions and insurance premiums as well as the remaining additional monthly deposit dates between such initial deposit and the date such payments are so due.  The subsequent monthly deposits into the Impositions Reserve shall be determined by Lender taking into account (w) Lender's determination of the projected premiums that will next become due and payable on the insurance policies covering Borrower, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or such other insurance policies required hereby or by the Loan Documents, (x) Lender's determination of the projected Impositions next due on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, (y) any then current balance in the Impositions Reserve or sums otherwise previously paid by Borrower against the foregoing obligations, and (z) the number of months to elapse before, in each case, such premiums or Impositions shall become due.  Lender shall be entitled to designate the deposited amounts such that adequate monies will be available for such purpose in the Impositions Reserve at least one (1) month prior to the date when each such premium or Imposition will become due (or when premiums or penalties shall thereafter be assessed).
(ii)    Any excess reserve shall, at the discretion of Lender, be credited by Lender on subsequent reserve payments or subsequent payments to be made on the Note by the maker thereof, and any deficiency shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on or before the date when Lender demands such payment to be made, but in no event after the date when such premiums and Impositions shall become delinquent.  In the event there exists a deficiency in such fund or reserve at any time when Impositions or insurance premiums are due and payable, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, advance the amount of such deficiency on behalf of Borrower and such amounts so advanced shall become a part of the Indebtedness, shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate  from the date of such advance through and including the date of repayment.  The interest of Borrower in all sums deposited with Lender under the provisions hereof or otherwise shall automatically transfer to the new holder of legal title to the Mortgaged Property upon the transfer of legal title to the Mortgaged Property, without implying Lender's consent to such transfer of legal title.
(b)    Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all Impositions and insurance premiums to be paid from the Impositions Reserve, and Borrower may request that Lender directly pay such amounts due as indicated on such statements.  So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no circumstance exists, which with the giving of notice, or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, and (ii) Lender is otherwise obliged under the Loan Documents to advance such amounts due for the outstanding amounts indicated on such statements, Lender shall not unreasonably refuse to directly pay the Governmental Authority or other party entitled thereto to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impositions Reserve.  In making any payment from the Impositions Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.

Exhibit 10.2

Section 6.7.    Security Interest in Reserves.
(a)    As additional security for the payment and performance by Borrower of all duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns, conveys, pledges, mortgages, transfers, delivers, deposits, sets over and confirms unto Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Reserves, including (i) the accounts into which the Reserves have been deposited; (ii) all insurance on said accounts; (iii) all accounts, contract rights and general intangibles or other rights and interests pertaining thereto; (iv) all sums now or hereafter therein or represented thereby; (v) all replacements, substitutions or proceeds thereof; (vi) all instruments and documents now or hereafter evidencing the Reserves or such accounts; (vii) all powers, options, rights, privileges and immunities pertaining to the Reserves (including the right to make withdrawals therefrom); and (viii) all proceeds of the foregoing.  Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to the account into which the Reserves have been deposited being held in Lender's name or the name of any entity servicing the Note for Lender and hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender, or at Lender's election, such servicing entity, shall have exclusive control over said account.  BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES AND HOLDS LENDER HARMLESS WITH RESPECT TO ALL RISK OF LOSS REGARDING AMOUNTS ON DEPOSIT IN THE RESERVES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH LOSS IS CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER.  Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally stipulates, acknowledges and agrees that the advancement of the funds from the Reserves as set forth herein is at Borrower's direction and is not the exercise by Lender of any right of set‐off or other remedy upon a Default or an Event of Default.  Upon an Event of Default, Lender may, without notice or demand on Borrower, at its option:  (1) withdraw any or all of the funds (including interest) then remaining in the Reserves and apply the same, after deducting all costs and expenses of safekeeping, collection and delivery (including attorneys' fees, costs and expenses) to the Indebtedness or Obligations under the other Loan Documents in such manner as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, and the excess, if any, shall be paid to Borrower, (2) exercise any and all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code, or (3) exercise any other remedies available at law or in equity.  No such use or application of the funds contained in the Reserves shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
(b)    The Reserves are solely for the protection of Lender and entail no responsibility on Lender's part beyond the payment of the respective costs and expenses in accordance with the terms thereof and beyond the allowing of due credit for the sums actually received.  Upon assignment of this Loan Agreement by Lender, any funds in the Reserves shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate.  The Reserves shall not, unless otherwise explicitly required by applicable law, be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds, but, at Lender's option and in Lender's sole discretion, may either be held in a separate account or be commingled by Lender with the general account assets of Lender.  Upon full payment of the Indebtedness secured hereby in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (or if earlier, the completion of the applicable conditions to release of each Reserve to Lender's satisfaction) or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance in the Reserves then in Lender's possession shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
(c)    Amounts held by Lender as a part of any Reserves may be invested by Lender (or its servicer) for its benefit, and, whether or not such sums actually bear interest, Lender shall not 

45

Exhibit 10.2

be obligated to pay, or credit, any interest earned thereon to Borrower except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

(u)    Borrower, or any shareholder, member or partner of Borrower, makes a Disposition (other than a Permitted Disposition or in connection with the payment in full of the Indebtedness) without the prior written consent of Lender;
(v)    Lender reasonably determines that a Material Adverse Change shall have occurred that is not fully cured by Borrower on or before the expiration of a thirty (30) day period commencing upon Lender's written notice to Borrower of the occurrence thereof;

(y)    An Event of Default as defined in any of the Loan Documents;

same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, singly, successively or concurrently against Borrower or others obligated for 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, (c) 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 (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  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 of either.  If the Indebtedness, or any part hereof, is collected by or through an attorney‐at‐law, Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection, including Lender's attorneys' fees, whether or not any legal action shall be instituted to enforce the Loan Agreement.
(e)    Certain Other Remedies.  Lender shall have the further right (but not the obligation), upon the happening of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights or remedies available to it under all other Loan Documents, to enter into possession of the Mortgaged Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Improvements in substantial accordance with the Plans.  All amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been disbursed to Borrower as Loan proceeds and secured by the Lien Instrument.  For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) Lender as Borrower's attorney‐in‐fact, with full power of substitution to complete the Improvements in the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers Lender, acting as Borrower's attorney‐in‐fact, as follows:  (i) to use any funds of Borrower, including any balance which may be held in escrow, any Borrower's Deposit and any funds which may remain unadvanced hereunder, for the purpose of completing the Improvements in the manner called for by the Plans; (ii) to make such additions and changes and corrections in the Plans which shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Improvements in the manner contemplated by the Plans; (iii) to continue all or any existing Construction Contracts; (iv) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, design professionals and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; (v) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Mortgaged Property, or may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the work or the clearing of title; (vi) to execute all the applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any construction contract; and (vii) to do any and every act with respect to the construction of the Improvements which Borrower could do in Borrower's own behalf.  Lender, acting as Borrower's attorney‐in‐fact, shall also have power to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Mortgaged Property and to take such action and require such performance as is deemed necessary.
Section 7.3.    Lender's Offset Rights.  Without limitation to the foregoing, Lender may, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to any person or entity (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice) to the fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all monies, securities and other properties of Borrower now or in the future in its possession, custody or control, or on deposit with or otherwise owed to Borrower by such Lender, including all Reserves or such other monies, securities and other properties held in general, special, time, demand, provisional or final accounts or for safekeeping or as collateral or otherwise, against any and all of Borrower's obligations to Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement.  Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that failure, to give or delay in giving any such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application or 

49

Exhibit 10.2

impose any liability on Lender.  Rights given to Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Lender may have under this Agreement.
Section 7.4.    Exercise of Rights and Remedies.  All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder or under the Note or under any other Loan Document shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and no single, partial or full exercise of any right or remedy shall exhaust the same or preclude Lender from thereafter exercising in full or in part the same right or remedy or from concurrently or thereafter exercising any other right or remedy which Lender may have hereunder, under the Note or any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity, and each and every such right and remedy may be exercised at any time or from time to time.
Section 7.5.    Legal Proceedings.  Lender shall have the right to commence, appear in, or to defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights or duties of the parties hereunder or the payment of any funds, and in connection therewith pay necessary expenses, employ counsel and pay its reasonable fees.  Any such expenditures shall be considered additional Advances hereunder, shall bear interest at the rate payable under the Note for past due payments, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
ARTICLE VIII
LENDER'S DISCLAIMERS ‐ BORROWER'S INDEMNITIES

Nothing, including any disbursement of Loan proceeds or Borrower's Deposit nor acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, on Lender's part.  EXCEPT FOR THOSE COSTS, EXPENSES OR LIABILITIES THAT ARE CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER, BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES AND AGREES TO HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY COST, EXPENSE OR LIABILITY (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY LENDER AS A RESULT OF ANY ASSERTION OR CLAIM OF ANY OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY OF LENDER FOR THE MANAGEMENT, OPERATION AND CONDUCT OF THE BUSINESS AND AFFAIRS OF BORROWER OR GUARANTOR, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY ASSERTION OR CLAIM OF ANY LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY OF LENDER FOR THE PAYMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATION OF BORROWER OR GUARANTOR.

EXCEPT FOR THOSE LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES, THAT ARE CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF LENDER, BORROWER HEREBY INDEMNIFIES LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM, AND HOLDS EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT, INSOFAR AS SUCH LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, 

50

Exhibit 10.2

DAMAGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR FROM ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.  WITHOUT INTENDING TO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ITS INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS AS STATED HEREIN OR AS STATED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, IN THE EVENT ANY CLAIM OR DEMAND IS MADE OR ANY OTHER FACT COMES TO THE ATTENTION OF LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATING OR PERTAINING TO, OR ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH LENDER REASONABLY BELIEVES MIGHT INVOLVE OR LEAD TO SOME LIABILITY OF LENDER, BORROWER SHALL, IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT OF WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF ANY SUCH CLAIM OR DEMAND, ASSUME IN FULL THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH CLAIM OR DEMAND AND PAY IN CONNECTION THEREWITH ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, DEFICIENCY, LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION, INCLUDING LEGAL FEES AND COURT COSTS INCURRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.  IN THE EVENT OF COURT ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CLAIM OR DEMAND, BORROWER SHALL ASSUME IN FULL THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFENSE OF ANY SUCH ACTION AND SHALL IMMEDIATELY SATISFY AND DISCHARGE ANY FINAL DECREE OR JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREIN.  LENDER MAY, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, MAKE ANY PAYMENTS SUSTAINED OR INCURRED BY REASON OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING; AND BORROWER SHALL IMMEDIATELY REPAY TO LENDER, IN CASH AND NOT WITH PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN, THE AMOUNT OF SUCH PAYMENT, WITH INTEREST THEREON AT THE MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW FROM THE DATE OF SUCH PAYMENT.  LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO JOIN BORROWER AS A PARTY DEFENDANT IN ANY LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST LENDER, AND BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ENTRY OF AN ORDER MAKING BORROWER A PARTY DEFENDANT TO ANY SUCH ACTION.
Section 8.3.    No Agency.  Nothing herein shall be construed as making or constituting Lender as the agent of Borrower in making payments pursuant to any construction contracts or subcontracts entered into by Borrower for construction of the Improvements or otherwise.  The purpose of all requirements of Lender hereunder is solely to allow Lender to check and require documentation (including lien waivers) sufficient to protect Lender and the Loan contemplated hereby.  Borrower shall have no right to rely on any procedures required by Lender, Borrower hereby acknowledging that Borrower has sole responsibility for constructing the Improvements and paying for work done in accordance therewith and that Borrower has solely, on Borrower's own behalf, selected or approved each contractor, each subcontractor and each materialman, Lender having no responsibility for any such Persons or for the quality of their materials or workmanship.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1.    Survival of Obligations.

Exhibit 10.2

Any of the foregoing parties shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of thirty (30) days' notice to the other party in the manner set forth herein.
Section 9.3.    Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, Borrower and Lender, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.
(c)    Participation and Assignment.  Lender may, at any time and from time to time, sell or grant, without prior notice to or the consent of Borrower, to any person or entity participations in all or any part of the Loan, the Loan Documents, any Advance, or all or part of the Note.  Any participant shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender regarding the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, any of its principals and any of the Guarantors, including (without limitation) information required to be disclosed to a participant pursuant to any applicable banking regulations.  If Lender shall sell or grant any participation:  (i) Lender shall retain its right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to the Loan, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any participant of which Borrower shall have received written notice may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers' lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such participant were a direct holder of Loans.  In the case of an assignment, the assignee ("Assignee") shall, to the extent of such assignment, have the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were the Lender hereunder and the Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to the extent of the interest so assigned and expressly assumed in writing by Assignee.  Borrower will use its reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with Lender in any manner reasonably requested by Lender to effect any such assignment including assisting in the preparation of appropriate disclosure documents or modifying this Agreement to further reflect an agency relationship between Lender and other institutions.
(d)    Disclosure to Assignees.  Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation of the Loan as described above, disclose to the Assignee or participant or proposed Assignee or participant, any information relating to Borrower or Guarantor furnished to Lender in the course of the transactions described herein.  Borrower will be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of any materials furnished by Lender to any actual or prospective Assignee or participant exactly as if such Assignee or participate were the original "Lender" under this Agreement.
(e)    Further Assurances.  Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender at Borrower's sole expense in connection with any proposed participation or assignment and to provide, upon reasonable request and written notice from Lender, all reasonable assistance requested by Lender and each proposed Assignee in connection therewith, including without limitation:  (i) the execution of such documents as Lender or any Assignee may reasonably require, consistent with the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the participation by representatives of Borrower in meetings or conference telephone calls with Lender, any assigning lender or any proposed Assignees; and (iii) the execution of amendments to any Loan Documents required in connection with any assignment that are reasonably required in connection therewith, provided that no such amendments will modify the material terms of any of the Loan Documents or materially impair the rights of Borrower under any such Loan Documents.

Exhibit 10.2

Section 9.4.    Reliance by Lender.  Lender is relying and is entitled to rely upon each and all of the provisions of this Agreement; and accordingly, if any provision or provisions of this Agreement should be held to be invalid or ineffective, then all other provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding.
Section 9.5.    Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Transmission.  To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required.  It shall not be necessary that the signature and acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature and acknowledgment of all Persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart.  All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures and acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.  Any signature and acknowledgment page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures and acknowledgments thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature and acknowledgment pages.  Counterparts hereof which are transmitted by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be given the identical legal effect as an original.
Section 9.6.    APPLICABLE LAW.  IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED THAT THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTION EVIDENCED HEREBY WERE UNDERTAKEN IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.  IT IS THE INTENTION OF BORROWER AND LENDER THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (WITHOUT REGARD TO CHOICE OF LAWS OR CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES) AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO REMEDIAL MEASURES UNDER THE LIEN INSTRUMENT OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY WHICH MUST NECESSARILY BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHEREIN THE LAND AND IMPROVEMENTS ARE LOCATED THAT THE LOCAL STATE LAWS WHERE SUCH LAND AND IMPROVEMENTS ARE LOCATED SHALL GOVERN SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH REMEDIAL MATTERS.  IT IS FURTHER AGREED THAT APPROPRIATE VENUE IN ANY DISPUTE OCCURRING RELATIVE TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHETHER IN FEDERAL OR STATE COURT, SHALL BE IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.
Section 9.7.    Headings.  The Article, Section and Subsection entitlements hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify, define, limit, amplify or be used in construing the text, scope or intent of such Articles, Sections or Subsections.
Section 9.8.    Controlling Agreement.  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 (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 the 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 the Note and/or the Loan; or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Indebtedness and/or the Loan, then it is Borrower's and Lender's 

54

Exhibit 10.2

express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically 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 the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately 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 the Indebtedness has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of the 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, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender.  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 the 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 the Note and/or the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note and/or the Loan (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the 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 the Note and/or any of the 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.
Section 9.9.    Controlling Document.  In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
Section 9.10.    Construction of Agreement.  All pronouns, whether in masculine, feminine or neuter form, shall be deemed to refer to the object of such pronoun whether same is masculine, feminine or neuter in gender, as the context may suggest or require.  All terms used herein, whether or not defined in Section 1.1 hereof, and whether used in singular or plural form, shall be deemed to refer to the object of such term, whether such is singular or plural in nature, as the context may suggest or require.  Borrower acknowledges that time is of the essence of each and every promise, covenant and agreement made by Borrower in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 9.11.    Counting of Days.  If any time period referenced hereunder ends on a day other than a Business Day, such time period shall be deemed to instead end on the immediately preceding Business Day.
Section 9.12.    Recording.  Borrower covenants not to record this Agreement, the Note or the Guaranty in the real property records of the county where all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is located.  Borrower and Lender agree that the Lien Instrument shall be recorded in the real property records of the county or counties where all or any part of the Mortgaged Property is located.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit Lender from (a) making any of the Loan Documents a matter of public record in any court proceeding seeking the enforcement of the Loan Documents, (b) making any other public filing or disclosure of the Loan Documents necessary for the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or (c) making 

55

Exhibit 10.2

any other public filing or disclosure required by applicable law or order of an applicable Governmental Authority.
Section 9.13.    Publicity.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media which refers to the Loan, the Loan Documents (or the financing evidenced thereby) or Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.  Borrower authorizes Lender to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with Lender's own promotional and marketing activities, and such materials may describe the Loan in general terms or in detail and Lender's participation therein.
Section 9.14.    WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  BORROWER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF LENDER OR BORROWER, OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH LENDER OR BORROWER, IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.
Section 9.15.    NOTICE OF INDEMNIFICATION.  BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 5.19, 6.2, 6.7, 8.1 AND 8.2 HEREOF, WHICH PROVISIONS, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, INCLUDE BORROWER'S INDEMNIFICATION OF LENDER AGAINST LENDER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE.
Section 9.16.    NO ORAL AGREEMENTS.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.  The provisions hereof and the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by Borrower and Lender.

EXHIBIT B
Special Provisions
DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO METHODOLOGY PROVISIONS
1.Debt Service Coverage Ratio Calculation.  The following provisions shall be applicable with respect to the determination and calculation of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as called for pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
(a)    Compliance Certificate.  At any point in time when Borrower is to provide evidence with respect to the existence or calculation of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio such information shall be provided in the form of a Compliance Certificate to Lender.
(b)    Calculation.  The Debt Service Coverage Ratio calculation shall be undertaken for purposes of determining the Amortization Commencement Date and Borrower's compliance with the requirements of Section 2.3  and relative to the Cash Flow Reserve as described on this Exhibit B.  The term "Debt Service Coverage Ratio" shall consist of the quotient derived by dividing Net Operating Income (hereinafter defined) by Debt Service Requirements (hereinafter defined), which quotient shall be expressed in decimal place format (e.g., 1.25).  Borrower shall provide written evidence and documents to Lender indicating the calculation methodology and backup information for such Debt Service Coverage Ratio and such shall be included in the Compliance Certificate.  Lender shall be entitled to request and require such backup documentation as may be required by Lender in order to satisfy itself as to the correct calculation of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio.
(c)    Debt Service Requirements.  The term "Debt Service Requirements" shall mean a hypothetical aggregate annual amount of principal and interest obligations which would be borne on the Loan calculated using the following criteria:
(1)    The balance of the Loan for purposes of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio calculation shall be deemed to be the then Outstanding Principal Balance plus any remaining unadvanced portion of the Loan Amount, all as verified by Lender in Lender's sole discretion; and
(2)    the interest rate then being borne on the Loan and monthly payments calculated using a 25‐year (level‐payment, self‐liquidating) payment amortization schedule (taking into account and subtracting therefrom the period of time, if any, which has elapsed from the Amortization Commencement Date to the time of the particular determination), all as determined by Lender.
It is expressly understood and agreed that the Debt Service Requirements as specified hereinabove are provided solely for purposes of the determination of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and may not equate to Borrower's principal and interest obligations pursuant to the Note for any particular period of time, it being acknowledged and agreed that the payment obligations described in the Note shall govern Borrower's obligations with respect thereto.
(d)    Net Operating Income.  The term "Net Operating Income" shall mean the Gross Income less Operating Expenses (as defined below), determined on a cash basis of accounting except as otherwise provided herein.  As used herein, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

Exhibit 10.2

(1)    Gross Income.  The term "Gross Income" shall mean the annual ordinary income, as reasonably determined by Lender, then derived from Borrower's ownership and operation of the Mortgaged Property based upon the then actual trailing twelve (12) month period giving consideration to ordinary and normal seasonal fluctuations in the market in which the Mortgaged Property is located, determined on a cash basis (except as specified herein), including the following:  (i) rents by any lessees or tenants of the Mortgaged Property; (ii) rents and receipts received by or for the benefit of Borrower with respect to the full or partial reimbursement of Operating Expenses from any lessee or tenant of the Mortgaged Property; (iii) proceeds received by or for the benefit of Borrower in connection with any rental loss or business interruption insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (iv) any other fees or rents collected by, for or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the leasing and operation of the Mortgaged Property; (v) any refunds of deposits for obtaining, using or maintaining utility services for all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; (vi) interest, if any, earned by Borrower on security and other deposits of, and advance rentals paid by, any lessees or tenants of the Mortgaged Property; and (vii) the amount of any security and other type deposits and advance rentals relating to the Mortgaged Property which have been forfeited; provided, however, for purposes of determining Gross Income, only Rents from Approved Tenant Leases shall be taken into account and only to the extent such Approved Tenant Leases are fully executed.
Notwithstanding anything included within the above definition of Gross Income, there shall be excluded from Gross Income the following:  (i) any security or other deposits of lessees and tenants, unless and until the same actually are either applied to actual rentals owed or other charges or fees or forfeited; (ii) the proceeds of any financing or refinancing with respect to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; (iii) the proceeds of any sale or other capital transaction (excluding leases for occupancy purposes only) of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; (iv) any insurance or condemnation proceeds paid with respect to the Mortgaged Property, except for rental loss or business interruption insurance; (v) any insurance and condemnation proceeds applied in reduction of the principal of the Note in accordance with the terms of the Lien Instrument or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, nothing set forth herein shall in any manner imply Lender's consent to a sale, refinancing or other capital transaction; (vi) any rentals, reimbursements or other revenues attributable to tenants under leases which are not Approved Tenant Leases or which, due to a bankruptcy or insolvency action, the cessation of tenant operations at the subject leased premises or written notice from any such tenant to Borrower of tenant's intentions with respect to such leased premises, the future rental payment to be made by such tenant appear, in Lender's judgment, to be questionable; (vii) any rentals, reimbursements or other revenues paid by the applicable tenant more than one (1) month in advance; and
(2)    Operating Expenses.  The term "Operating Expenses" shall mean the greater of (A) Lender's then current underwritten determination of annual operating expenses for the Mortgaged Property as based on the Approved Operating Budget or otherwise, and (B) those annual amounts actually incurred and paid with respect to the ownership, operation, management, leasing and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property on a trailing 12‐month basis, determined on a cash basis, except as otherwise specified herein, including any and all of the following (but without duplication of any item):
(i)    real property taxes calculated on an accrual basis (and not on the cash basis) of accounting; such accrual accounting for ad valorem taxes shall be based upon taxes actually assessed for the current calendar year, or if such 

Exhibit 10.2

assessment for the current calendar year has not been made, then until such assessment has been made (and with any retroactive adjustments for prior calendar months as may ultimately be needed when the actual assessments has been made) annual ad valorem taxes shall be estimated based on the last such assessment for the Mortgaged Property;
(ii)    foreign, U.S., state and local sales, use or other taxes, except for taxes measured by net income;
(iii)    special assessments or similar charges against the Mortgaged Property;
(iv)    costs of utilities, air conditioning and heating for the Mortgaged Property to the extent not directly paid by lessees or tenants;
(v)    maintenance and repair costs for the Mortgaged Property;
(vi)    management fees provided, however, the amount of such management fees which may be charged hereunder shall not be less than the sum of four percent (4.0%) of the Gross Income for each applicable calendar month;
(vii)    all salaries, wages and other benefits to "on‐site" employees of Borrower or Borrower's property manager (excluding all salaries, wages and other benefits of officers and supervisory personnel, and other general overhead expenses of Borrower and Borrower's property manager) employed in connection with the leasing, maintenance and management of the Mortgaged Property;
(viii)    insurance premiums calculated on an accrual basis (and not on the cash basis) of accounting; such accrual accounting for insurance premiums shall be based upon the insurance premiums for the Mortgaged Property which was last billed to Borrower, adjusted to an annualized premium if necessary;
(ix)    an imputed required deposit into the Replacement Reserve of $250 per square foot of the Improvements per year (whether or not any actual deposit into the Replacement Reserve is then required pursuant to this Agreement);
(x)    outside accounting and audit fees and costs and administrative expenses in connection with the direct operation and management of the Mortgaged Property; and
(xi)    any payments, and any related interest thereon, to lessees or tenants of the Mortgaged Property with respect to security deposits or other deposits required to be paid to tenants but only to the extent any such security deposits and related interest thereon have been previously included in Gross Income.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as being included in the definition of Operating Expenses, there shall be excluded from Operating Expenses the following:  (i) depreciation and any other non‐cash deduction allowed to Borrower for income tax purposes; and (ii) any and all principal, interest or other costs paid under or with respect to the Note or Loan.
ADDITIONAL RESERVES
1.    Replacement Reserve.
(e)    Borrower shall establish and maintain a replacement reserve (the "Replacement Reserve") with Lender as additional security for Borrower's repayment of the Indebtedness and satisfaction of the Obligations.  Commencing on the earliest to occur of (i) the Amortization 

Exhibit 10.2

Commencement Date, (ii) the depletion of the Tenant Improvements and Leasing Commissions Allocation, or (iii) the first Payment Date after an Event of Default and continuing thereafter on each successive Payment Date until the Maturity Date, including during the Extension Period, if applicable, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with the monthly payment due under the Note, a deposit to the Replacement Reserve in an amount equal to FOUR THOUSAND EIGHTY-THREE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,083.00).  
(f)    The Replacement Reserve is established for the payment of costs and expenses as may be incurred by Borrower for Replacement Reserve Repairs.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) all sums in the Replacement Reserve shall be held by Lender in the Replacement Reserve to pay the costs and expenses of Replacement Reserve Repairs, and (ii) Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Replacement Reserve, disburse to Borrower, as Lender may approve, in Lender's reasonable discretion, amounts paid or incurred by Borrower and performing such Replacement Reserve Repairs within ten (10) days following:  (a) the receipt by Lender of a written request from Borrower for a disbursement from the Replacement Reserve and a certification from Borrower to Lender that the applicable item of Replacement Reserve Repair has been completed; (b) the delivery to Lender of invoices, receipts of other evidence verifying the cost of performing such Replacement Reserve Repairs; and (c) in the case of a disbursement request from the Replacement Reserve in excess of $25,000 with respect to any single Replacement Reserve Repair, delivery to Lender of (1) affidavits, lien waivers or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender showing that all materialmen, laborers, subcontractors and any other parties who might or could claim statutory or common law liens and are furnishing or have furnished materials or labor to the Property have been paid all amounts due for labor and materials furnished to the Property; and (2) a new (or amended) certificate of occupancy for the portion of the Improvements covered by such Replacement Reserve Repairs, if said new certificate of occupancy is required by law, or a certification by Borrower that no new certificate of occupancy is required by law.  Lender shall not be required or requested to make advances from the Replacement Reserve more frequently than one time in any calendar month.  In making any payment from the Replacement Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on such request from Borrower without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity or contestability of any such amount.
(g)    Lender may, at Borrower's expense, make or cause to be made an inspection of the Mortgaged Property to determine the adequacy of the scheduled deposits into the Replacement Reserve and the need, as determined by Lender in its reasonable judgment, for further Replacement Reserve Repairs to the Mortgaged Property.  In the event that such inspection reveals that further Replacement Reserve Repairs of the Mortgaged Property are required, then, in addition to any other remedy Lender may be entitled to hereunder, Lender shall provide Borrower with a written description of the required Replacement Reserve Repairs and Borrower shall complete such Replacement Reserve Repairs to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such description from Lender, or such later date as may be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion.  Additionally, Lender may, as a product of any such inspection, require that the amount of the scheduled monthly deposits into the Replacement Reserve described in subsection (a) above be increased in order to accommodate Lender's estimation, in Lender's sole discretion, of the likely increased cost of future Replacement Reserve Repairs.  In the event that the amount on deposit and available in the Replacement Reserve is ever inadequate to pay the cost of the Replacement Reserve Repairs, Borrower shall pay the amount of such deficiency.

Exhibit 10.2

2.    Cash Flow Reserve.
(a)    Establishment of Cash Flow Reserve.  Borrower shall establish and maintain a Reserve (the "Cash Flow Reserve") with Lender for use and disbursement in accordance with the provisions of this section as additional security for Borrower's repayment of the Indebtedness and satisfaction of the Obligations.
(b)    Other Definitions Applicable to Cash Flow Reserve.
(3)    Cash Flow Reserve Initial Termination Date: The date when the following conditions are all satisfied:  (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Stabilization has occurred, and (iii) Borrower has made the first of its Amortizing Principal Reduction Payments together with all contemporaneously required deposits into the Reserves and all other payments then due under the Note and other Loan Documents.
(4)    Cash Flow Sweep Satisfaction Event:  The satisfaction of the following two (2) conditions:  (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Mortgaged Property, as determined by Lender, is equal to or greater than 1.25 for three (3) consecutive months.
(5)    Cash Flow Sweep Period: Means the following periods of time:  (i) the period from the date hereof to the Cash Flow Reserve Initial Termination Date, and (ii) the period from the occurrence of a Cash Flow Sweep Trigger Event to the occurrence of a Cash Flow Sweep Satisfaction Event.
(6)    Cash Flow Sweep Trigger Event: If at any time after the Cash Flow Reserve Initial Termination Date, either (i) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Mortgaged Property, as reasonably determined by Lender, is less than 1.10.
(c)    Periodic Deposits.  Upon the  first (1st) calendar month in which a Net Cash Flow exists and at all times thereafter during any Cash Flow Sweep Period, Borrower shall deposit all Net Cash Flow accruing from the immediately preceding calendar month into the Cash Flow Reserve.  Such monthly payment shall be made by Borrower on the tenth (10th) day of each applicable month.  The monthly reporting requirements to be provided by Borrower in accordance with Section 5.25 shall include a reconciliation with the Net Cash Flow payment provided by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this provision.
(d)    Disbursements from Cash Flow Reserve.  Borrower shall be entitled to a disbursement of some or all of the funds in the Cash Flow Reserve in the following different circumstances:
(1)    With Lender's consent and approval (which consent and approval may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion), for the purpose of paying debt service obligations with respect to the Loan or other operating or capital expenses for the Mortgaged Property as may be approved by Lender;
(2)    All funds then on deposit in the Cash Flow Reserve shall, upon Borrower's request, be disbursed to Borrower upon the occurrence of a Cash Flow Reserve Initial Termination Date;
(3)    In the event, after the occurrence of a Cash Flow Reserve Initial Termination Date, the Cash Flow Reserve is reestablished by virtue of the occurrence of a Cash Flow Sweep Trigger Event, such new balance of the Cash Flow Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the occurrence of a Cash Flow Sweep Satisfaction Event; provided, 

Exhibit 10.2

however, it is recognized that a Cash Flow Sweep Period may exist intermittently throughout the term of the Loan and that Borrower may be entitled, in multiple instances, to lump sum disbursements from the Cash Flow Reserve pursuant to this subsection d(3); and
(4)    Upon Borrower's repayment in full of the Indebtedness and satisfaction of all Obligations, Borrower shall be entitled to a full return of the Cash Flow Reserve.
ECONOMIC INCENTIVES 
3.    Acknowledgement of Assignment.  By its execution hereof, Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Assignment of Economic Incentives, it is Borrower's intention that any and all current or future Economic Incentive Agreements with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and whether for the benefit of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, are to be transferred and assigned to Lender as security for Borrower's payment of the Indebtedness and satisfaction of the Obligations.  It is further intended that such assignment include all of Borrower's rights and interests, but not its obligations, in, under and to each of such Economic Incentive Agreements (including, without limitation, the Economic Incentive Payments and any right with respect thereto).  To the extent any such rights are held by an Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower shall immediately cause such Affiliate of Borrower to execute appropriate transfer and assignment documents in favor of Lender as Lender may approve so as to effectuate a transfer and assignment of any and all such rights under the Economic Incentive Agreements from such Affiliate to Lender.  Borrower shall cause any and all Economic Incentive Payments to be directly paid to Lender in full for application against the Loan.  To the extent Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower should nonetheless receive any such Economic Incentive Payments, Borrower acknowledges that such amounts shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of Lender and that Borrower shall cause such amounts to be immediately tendered to Lender.
4.    Tax Increment Financing.  Without limitation to the foregoing, it is expressly agreed and understood that all of Borrower's interest in and to any proceeds from any Tax Increment Financing including, without limitation, the Total Tax Increment Financing Proceeds as and when paid have been assigned to Lender pursuant to the Assignment of Economic Incentives and Borrower hereby covenants to cause such amounts to be directed to Lender as a prepayment against the then Outstanding Principal Balance as such amounts become available.

FONTANA/FORTINO/RETAIL MORTGAGE AND PARTIAL RELEASE
5.    Fontana/Fortino/Retail Mortgage.  Borrower shall cause the Fontana/Fortino/Retail Mortgage to be provided to Lender contemporaneously herewith.  Borrower expressly covenants and agrees as follows with respect to the Fontana/Fortino/Retail Mortgage:  (i) IMH Special is the current fee simple owner of each of the Fontana Parcel, the Fortino Parcel, and the Retail Parcel, and except with respect to the City Mortgage, Lender has been provided a first priority security interest in each of the Fontana, Fortino, and Retail Parcel as security for the Indebtedness and satisfaction of the Obligations, (ii) other than the City Mortgage, Borrower shall not allow any Disposition to occur with respect to any of the Fontana Parcel, the Fortino Parcel, the Retail Parcel or any direct or indirect equity interests of the aforesaid entities, and (iii) Borrower shall, from time to time, as requested by Lender, provide Lender updated title information with respect to any or all of the Fontana Parcel, Fortino Parcel and/or Retail Parcels so as to verify Borrower's compliance with the requirements of this Section 1.
6.    Partial Release.  Upon the occurrence of Stabilization and provided the Confessions of Judgment have been fully satisfied and unconditionally released, Lender shall, upon Borrower's satisfaction of the following conditions, provide (i) a full and unconditional release to Borrower of the 

Exhibit 10.2

Galante Parcel from the lien of the Lien Instrument, and (ii) a full and unconditional release to IMH Special of the Fontana/Fortino/Retail Mortgage, such that none of the Galante Parcel, the Fontana Parcel, the Fortino Parcel, or Retail Parcel shall be subject to any lien or encumbrance securing the Indebtedness and Obligations (such items (i) and (ii) being herein collectively referred to as the "Partial Release"); provided, however, in order to qualify for the Partial Release, Borrower must further satisfy the following conditions and requirements:
(e)    Borrower's request for a Partial Release shall be given to Lender and accompanied by (i) the legal description of the Galante Parcel, (ii) information necessary to process the request for Partial Release including the name and address of the title company, if any, to whose attention the Parcel Release Instrument (hereinafter defined) should be directed, numbers that should be referenced (order number, loan number) and the date when such Partial Release is to be made, and (iii) such other documents and information concerning such Partial Release as Lender may reasonably request;
(f)    A sum equal to Borrower's reimbursement to Lender of all of Lender's reasonable costs and expenses incurred with respect to processing the subject Parcel Release, shall be tendered to Lender for application in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
(g)    No Event of Default shall have occurred and be then existing;
(h)    Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request, and in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and conditions of this section, Lender shall execute appropriate instruments affecting such Partial Release ("Partial Release Instrument") and deliver same to the title company so specified; provided, however, that all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender associated with such Partial Release (including, but not limited to, Lender's reasonable legal fees) shall be paid by Borrower.  Borrower shall also obtain all endorsements to the Title Insurance as may be reasonably required by Lender in connection with such Partial Release of the Galante Parcel;
(i)    The execution and delivery of such Partial Release Instrument shall not affect any of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents.  The Partial Release Instrument shall be delivered, in escrow, by Lender to the title company so designated, to be held, released, delivered and recorded, in accordance with Lender's escrow instructions, which shall require reimbursement of Lender's reasonable costs and expenses and payment of the cost of any required title endorsement as specified in subsection (c) and subsection (f) above to Lender prior to delivery and recordation of the Partial Release Instrument.
(j)    Simultaneously with the effectuation of the Partial Release, the Galante Parcel shall be conveyed so as to be owned by an entity other than Borrower.
7.    Upon the earlier to occur of (a) the unconditional release of the NWRA Cash Collateral Lien, and (b) the first draw of Loan proceeds after the Initial Advance, Borrower (i) shall have delivered to Lender verification that the Fontana/Fortino/Retail Confessions of Judgment have been fully satisfied and unconditionally released, (ii) caused evidence of the release of the Fontana/Fortino/Retail Confessions of Judgment to be recorded in the real property records of Dakota County, Minnesota, and (iii) shall have obtained and delivered to Lender any endorsements for Title Insurance with respect to the Fontana/Fortino/Retail Mortgage as may be reasonably required by Lender in connection with the release of the Confessions of Judgment.
