2.00        AGREEMENT TO MAKE
ADVANCES; LIMITATIONS.

 

2.01        AGREEMENT TO MAKE ADVANCES.

 

Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and following the infusion of the
Required Equity Funds from the Borrower into the Project, the Lender agrees to
lend to the Borrower and the Borrower shall borrow from time to time between
the Closing Date and the Termination Date upon submission by the Borrower of a
Draw Request in accordance with Section 3.01, such amounts as are
requested by the Borrower up to a maximum aggregate principal amount equal to
the Construction Loan Amount to pay for Project Costs actually incurred by the
Borrower and reflected in the Project Budget as being funded by the
Construction Loan. Each Draw Request for an Advance hereunder shall constitute
a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 12.00,
in the case of the initial Advance, and Section 13.00, in the case of all
other Advances, have been satisfied on the date of such Draw Request.

 

2.02        PROJECT BUDGET.

 

The
Project Budget reflects, by category and line items, the purposes and the
amounts for which funds to be Advanced by the Lender under this Agreement are
to be used. The Lender shall not be required to disburse for any 

 

9

 

category
or line item more than the amount specified therefore in the Project Budget,
unless reflected on a revised Project budget previously approved by Lender.

 

2.03  AMOUNT OF ADVANCES.

 

In
no event shall the Lender be obligated to Advance more than the Construction
Loan Amount, or, if less, total Project Costs actually incurred by the
Borrower, less, in either case, the Required Equity Funds. In no event shall
any Advance for Direct Costs of constructing the Improvements exceed an amount
equal to (a) the total value of the labor, materials, fixtures, machinery
and equipment completed, approved and incorporated into the Land or the
Improvements prior to the date of the Draw Request for such Advance, less (b) retainage
in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such total value (“Retainage”), less
(c) the total amount of any Advances previously made by the Lender for
such Direct Costs. Retainage shall not be required to be Advanced by the Lender
to the Borrower.    With respect to any
other Direct Costs and all Indirect Costs, in no event shall any Advance exceed
an amount equal to the amount of such Direct Costs and Indirect Costs approved
by the Lender, incurred by the Borrower prior to the date of the Draw Request
for such Advances, and theretofore paid or to be paid with the proceeds of such
Advance, less the total amount of any Advances previously made by the Lender
for such Direct Costs and Indirect Costs.

 

2.04 QUALITY OF WORK.

 

No
Advance shall be due unless all work done at the date the Draw Request for such
Advance is submitted is done in a good and workmanlike manner and without
defects, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Inspector.

 

2.05 COST OVERRUNS AND SAVINGS.

 

If
the Borrower becomes aware of any change in Project Costs which will increase
or decrease a category or line item of Project Costs reflected on the Project
Budget (as the Project Budget is revised from time to time and approved by the
Lender), the Borrower shall immediately notify the Lender in writing and
promptly submit to the Lender for its approval a revised Project Budget. If the
revised Project Budget indicates an increase in a category or line item of
Project Costs, no further Advances need be made by the Lender unless and until (a) the
revised Project Budget so submitted by the Borrower is approved by the Lender,
and (b) the Borrower has deposited with the Lender any additional Required
Equity Funds required in accordance with this Agreement (if any). If the
revised Project Budget indicates a decrease in a category or line item of
Project Costs, no reductions in Project Costs will be made or savings
reallocated by the Borrower unless and until (a) the revised Project
Budget so submitted by the Borrower is approved by the Lender, and (b) in
the case of decreases in a category or line item of Direct Costs, the Borrower
has furnished the Lender and the Construction Inspector with evidence
satisfactory to them that the labor performed and materials supplied in
connection with such category or line item of Direct Costs have been
satisfactorily completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and
paid for in full.

 

2.06 CONTINGENCY RESERVE

 

The
amount allocated as Contingency Reserve in the Project Budget is not intended
to be disbursed and will only be disbursed upon the prior approval of the
Lender, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. The disbursement of a
portion of Contingency Reserve shall in no way prejudice the Lender from
withholding disbursement of any further portion of Contingency Reserve.

 

2.07 OVER ADVANCES

 

The
making of loans, Advances or credits by the Lender in excess of the
Construction Loan Amount is for the benefit of the Borrower hereunder and shall
be at the Lender’s sole discretion. Such loans, Advances, and credits shall
constitute Advances and shall be repayable with interest as provided in the
Construction Note. The making of any such loans, Advances or credits in excess
of the Construction Loan Amount on any one occasion shall not obligate the
Lender to make any such loans, Advances or credits on any other occasion nor
permit such loans, Advances or credits to remain outstanding.

 

10

 

2.08  MANDATORY BORROWING

 

Subject
to Section 10.14, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, and provided that the Lender has not commenced exercise of its
cumulative rights and remedies following an Event of Default, the Borrower must
borrow the Twelve Million and 00/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00) on or before the
last day of the Interest Only Period (defined in the Construction Note).  In the event that the Borrower completes
construction for less than the Project Budget, it is still required to draw
down the unused portion of the Loan which shall be held in an interest bearing
cash collateral account with the Lender (the “Reserve Account”).  The Borrower, provided no Event of Default
has occurred, may use the Reserve Account following the first anniversary of
the date hereof, to pay its monthly principal obligations to the Lender under
the Construction Note.

 

2.09  FUNDS DEPOSITED WITH LENDER

 

All
funds of Borrower which are deposited with Lender pursuant to this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents shall be held in an interest bearing account and all
funds which are deposited in the Reserve Account may be co-mingled with Lender’s
general funds.  Notwithstanding any
information or requirement to the contrary set forth earlier in this Agreement,
any interest which accrues on said funds shall, at Lender’s sole option, be
paid to Borrower or be held as part of the applicable funds being held by
Lender for the same purpose for which the principal sum of said funds are being
held by the Lender.  To secure all of
Borrower’s Obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby
grants to Lender a security interest in all funds now or hereafter deposited
with the Lender in the Reserve Account or otherwise in Lender’s possession,
custody or control pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.  So long as any Event of Default exists,
Lender shall have such rights with respect to such funds and any interest
accrued thereon as are provided by applicable law and may apply such funds
toward the satisfaction of Borrower’s Obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Documents in Lender’s sole discretion. 
Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions, at the exclusive
request of Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver from time-to-time such
documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in Lender’s sole discretion to
assure Lender that it has a first priority perfected security interest in and
lien on, all funds deposited in the Reserve Account or otherwise with the
Lender.

3.04  ADVANCES TO CONTRACTOR

 

In
its sole discretion, following an Event of Default, the Lender may make any or
all Advances through the Title Insurance Company and any portion of the
Construction Loan so disbursed by the Lender shall be deemed disbursed as of
the date on which the Lender makes such disbursement.  At its option, in its sole discretion, the
Lender may make any or all Advances for Direct Costs incurred under the
Construction Contract directly to Contractor for deposit in an appropriately
designated special bank account, and the execution of this Agreement by the
Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to

Lender in good faith determines payment is due and any portion of the

Advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of the Lender hereunder and
shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Security Documents as fully as

No
Advance made by the Lender shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions
to the Lender’s obligation to make further Advances nor, in the event the
Borrower fails to satisfy any such condition, shall any such Advance have the
effect of precluding the Lender from thereafter declaring such failure to
satisfy a condition to be an Event of Default.

obligation of the Borrower to pay the Construction Loan Amount or, if less, the

central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office)

adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding
capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the

the date of this Agreement in United States, Federal, State, Municipal or
Foreign Laws or Regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any
court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof which changes the basis of taxation of any amounts
payable to the Lender under this Agreement, including the Construction
Loan,  (other than taxes imposed on the
overall net income of the Lender for any of such loans by the jurisdiction
where the principal office of the Lender is located), then the Lender shall
notify the Borrower thereof.  The

10.09.2  INSURANCE.   Borrower, at its sole cost and expense,
shall, or shall cause the Primary Tenant to insure and keep insured the
Mortgaged Premises, against such perils and hazards, and in such amounts and
with such limits, as Lender may from time to time reasonably require.   Borrower shall also carry such other insurance,
and in such amounts, as Lender may from time to time reasonably require,
against insurable risks which at the time are commonly insured against in the

of insurance and to the type of construction, location, utilities, use and
occupancy of the Mortgaged Premises or any replacements or substitutions
therefor (“Additional Insurance”). Such Additional Insurance may include flood,
earthquake, , business interruption and demolition and shall be obtained within
30 days after demand by Lender. Otherwise, Borrower shall not obtain any
separate or additional insurance which is contributing in the event of loss,
unless it is properly endorsed and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender
in all respects.  Except as otherwise
required under the existing Lease with the Primary Tenant, any proceeds of
insurance in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($250,000.00) paid on account of any damage to or destruction of the Mortgaged

not
be canceled or materially changed except upon 30 days prior written notice of
intention of non-renewal, cancellation or material change to Lender, and that
no act or thing done by Borrower shall invalidate the policy as against
Lender.  Lender shall be named as
Mortgagee, loss payee and addtional insured on all such policies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any provision of law, the proceeds of insurance policies
coming into the possession of Lender and which are not to be used for the Work
(as hereinafter defined) shall not be deemed trust funds and Lender shall be
entitled to dispose of such proceeds as hereinafter provided and as set forth
in the Mortgage. If Lender has not received satisfactory evidence of such
renewal or substitute insurance in the time frame herein specified, Lender
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance for
Lender’s interest only. Any amounts so disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section 10.09
shall be deemed to be a part of the Loan and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. Nothing contained in this Section 10.09 shall require Lender to
incur any expense or take any action hereunder, and inaction by Lender shall
never be deemed a waiver of any rights accruing to Lender on account of this Section 10.09.

of the Mortgaged Premises, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender

relesae any insurance proceeds received by it to the Borrower provided that the
Borrower uses it strictly in compliance with its obligations under the Lease
with the Primary Tenant, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently
continue to complete the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Mortgaged
Premises so damaged or destroyed in full compliance with all legal requirements
and with the provisions of the Lease and as set forth in Section 10.9.2(d) below,
and free and clear from any and all liens and claims. Such repair, restoration
and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Premises are sometimes hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Work.” Borrower shall not adjust, compromise or settle any
claim for insurance proceeds without the prior written consent of Lender, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

exceed such estimated cost of effecting such repair and restoration, or such
portion thereof as then remains to be completed and paid for;

 

(ii) Upon
completion of the Work, the monthly rents from all Leases remaining in full
force and effect shall, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, be sufficient to pay
all Operating Expenses of the Mortgaged Premises and all regularly scheduled
principal, interest and other sums due and payable under the Construction Note,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(iii) At
all times, there shall be in force and effect for the benefit of Borrower and

hundred percent (100%) of all rental income lost as a consequence of such
casualty for a total of at least twelve (12) months;

 

(iv) The
Work will be effected pursuant to plans and specifications reasonably approved
in writing by Lender, and by a general contractor and major subcontractors, and

have obtained all licenses, permits, consents and approvals from all applicable
governmental authorities or private parties required to permit Borrower to

issue in the ordinary course upon completion) and that the same shall be in
full force and effect.

 

29

 

10.09.2(e)              DISTRIBUTION
OF PROCEEDS.  If any
insurance Proceeds are used for the Work, Borrower warrants, covenants and
represents:

the Work is structural or if the cost of the Work is reasonably estimated by
Lender to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00),
the Work shall be conducted under the supervision of a certified and registered
architect or engineer. Before Borrower commences any Work, other than temporary
work to protect property or prevent interference with business, Lender shall
have approved in writing the plans and specifications for the Work, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being nevertheless
understood that such plans and specifications shall provide for Work so that,
upon completion thereof, the Mortgaged Premises shall be at least equal in
value and general utility to the Mortgaged Premises prior to the damage or
destruction.

 

(ii) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender a certificate of the architect or engineer in (i) above
(or a certificate given by Borrower if no architect or engineer is so required)
stating (A) that all of the Work completed has been done in compliance
with the approved plans and specifications, if required under (i) above, (B) that
the proceeds to be distributed are justly required to reimburse the Borrower
for payments made by Borrower, or are justly due to the contractor,
subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other persons
rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of
such services and materials), and that when added to all sums previously paid
out by the Lender does not exceed the value of the Work done to the date of
such certificate, (C) if the sum to be distributed is to cover payment
relating to repair and restoration of personal property required or relating to
the Mortgaged Premises, that title to the personal property items covered by
the requested payment is vested in Borrower, and (D) that the amount of
such proceeds remaining in the hands of the Lender will be sufficient on
completion of the Work to pay for the same in full (giving in such reasonable
detail as Lender may require an estimate of the cost of such completion).
Additionally, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a statement signed by Borrower
approving both the Work done to date and the Work covered by the payment in
question.

 

(iii) Borrower
shall deliver waivers of lien satisfactory to Lender covering that part of the
Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested and, if required by
Lender, a search prepared by a title company, or by other evidence satisfactory
to Lender that there has not been filed with respect to the Mortaged Premises
any mechanics’ or other lien or instrument for the retention of title relating
to any part of the Work not discharged of record. Additionally, as to any
personal property covered by the request for payment, Lender shall be furnished
with evidence of payment therefor and such further evidence satisfactory to
assure Lender of its valid first lien on the personal property.

 

(iv) Lender
or its designee shall have the right to inspect the Work at all reasonable
times. The reasonable cost of any such inspection of the Work shall be paid by
Borrower upon demand. Neither the approval by Lender of the plans and
specifications for the Work nor the inspection by Lender of the Work shall make
Lender responsible for the preparation of such plans and specifications or the
compliance of such plans and specifications, or of the Work, with any
applicable law, regulation, ordinance, covenant or agreement.

 

(v) Borrower
shall deliver a copy or copies of any certificate or certificates required by
law to render occupancy and full operation of the Mortgaged Premises legal.

shall inure to the benefit of and pass to Lender or any purchaser or transferee

shall, within ten (10) days after written notice from the Lender, do all
things and matters necessary, to assure to the satisfaction of the Lender and
the Lender’s counsel that any Advance previously made hereunder or to be made
hereunder is secured or will be secured by the Mortgage as a first lien or
security interest on the Project, and the Lender, at its option, may decline to
make further Advances hereunder until the Lender has received such assurance,
but nothing in this Section 10.22 shall limit the Lender’s right to
require endorsements extending the effective date of the Title Policy as herein
set forth.

Agreement may but need not be supplemented by separate assignments and pledges
and, if such assignments and pledges are given, the rights and security
interests given thereby shall be in addition to and not in limitation of the

cancel, revoke, nor otherwise cause a novation, estoppel, or waiver of any or
all prior security interests granted by Borrower to Lender in and to any
collateral contemplated by these presents, or other, wholly or in part, and
without exception; and any and all such security interests shall continue to
remain properly perfected by Borrower to Lender in their terms and without

At its option, but without liability so to do, Lender may discharge taxes,

may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral. Borrower agrees
to reimburse Lender on demand for any payments made by Borrower, or any
expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender pursuant to the foregoing
authorization, and upon failure of Borrower so to reimburse Lender, any such
sums paid or advanced by Lender shall be deemed secured by the Collateral and
constitute part of the Loans.

 

10.26  COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA

 

The
Borrower will not:

 

(A) engage
in any prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code), or commit any other breach of its fiduciary

Borrower or any Borrower Group Member to any material liability under Section 406,
409, 502(i) or 502(d) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or
under any agreement or other instrument pursuant to which the Borrower or such
Borrower Group Member could be required to indemnify any Person against any
such liability or which could otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Borrower or any Plan; or

 

(B) fail
to make any contribution required to be made by it to any Plan or Multiemployer
Plan or permit to exist with respect to any Plan any “accumulated funding
deficiency” (as such term is defined in Section 412 of the Code or Section 302

34

 

(C) (i) commence
proceedings to terminate any Plan, other than in a “standard termination”

any proceedings instituted by the PBGC to terminate or to have a trustee

Plan in a manner which could result in the imposition of a withdrawal liability
under Part 1 of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA.

 

10.27  FINANCING STATEMENTS

 

Prior
to any loan being made from Lender to Borrower, the Borrower hereby agrees that
Lender may file and record at Borrower’s cost, any financing statement, or
other notices appropriate under applicable law, in respect of any security
interest created pursuant to this Agreement or at any other time which may at
any time be required by the Lender.  The
Borrower authorizes the Lender to file any and all financing statements on
behalf of the Borrower describing the Collateral, as well as any agricultural
liens or other statutory liens held by Lender. 
In the event that any re-recording or re-filing thereof (or the filing
of any statements of continuation or assignment of any financing statement) is
required to protect and preserve such lien or security interest, the Borrower
shall, at its cost and expense, cause the same to be re-recorded and/or
re-filed at the time and in the manner requested by the Lender.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates
the Lender, its agents, representatives and designees as agents and
attorneys-in-fact for the Borrower to sign such financing statements, or other
instruments in connection herewith, on behalf of the Borrower and file the
same, as required.

 

10.28 TAXES AND IMPOSITIONS

 

(A) Borrower
shall (i) pay and discharge all Impositions prior to delinquency, and (ii) provide
Lender validated receipts or such other evidence satisfactory to Lender showing
the payment of such Impositions within thirty (30) days after the same would
have otherwise become delinquent. 
Borrower’s obligation to pay the Impositions pursuant to this Agreement
shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, taxes resulting from
future changes in law which impose upon Lender an obligation to pay any
property taxes or other Impositions. 
Should Borrower default on any payment of any Impositions, Lender may
(but shall not be obligated to) pay such Impositions or any portion thereof and
Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such payment(s).

 

(B) Borrower
shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition so long as
Borrower contests in good faith such Impositions or the validity, applicability
or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent
the collection of such amounts and the sale of the Mortgaged Premises, or any
portion thereof; provided, however, that prior to the date on which such
Imposition would otherwise have become delinquent, Borrower shall have (i) given
Lender prior written notice of such contest and (ii) deposited with
Lender, and shall deposit such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on
deposit at all times, in an amount equal to at least one hundred percent (100%)
of the total of (A) the balance of such Imposition then remaining unpaid,
and (B) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated
thereon.   Lender shall keep said
deposited amounts in an interest bearing, aggregated account (the “Account”)
for the Borrower and shall pay out interest at least annually thereon.  Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due
diligence, and Borrower shall promptly pay from the Account, the amount of such
Imposition as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties
payable in connection therewith.  Lender
shall have full power and authority to apply any amount deposited with Lender
pursuant to this clause to the payment of any unpaid Imposition to prevent the
sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Premises or any portion thereof for
non-payment thereof.  Lender shall have
no liability, however, for failure to so apply any amount deposited.  Any surplus retained by Lender after payment
of the Imposition for which a deposit was made, shall be repaid to Borrower
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may
be retained by Lender to be applied to the obligations in the sole discretion
of the Lender.  Notwithstanding any
provisions of this clause to the contrary, Borrower shall pay any Imposition
which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if, in the sole and absolute
discretion of Lender, the Mortgaged Premises, or any portion thereof or any
Collateral, is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.  If Borrower refuses to pay any such
Imposition, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and
Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances.

agrees that it will maintain and repair the Collateral and the Mortgaged
Premises and keep all of the same in good and serviceable condition and in at
least as good condition and repair as same were on the date hereof or in such
better condition and repair as same may have been put thereafter.  Borrower will not waste or destroy or suffer
the waste or destruction of the Collateral or the Mortgaged Premises or any
part thereof.  Borrower will not use any
of the Collateral or the Mortgaged Premises in violation of any insurance
thereon.  In the event of damage to or
destruction of all or any part of the Collateral or the Mortgaged Premises from
any cause, the Borrower shall repair, replace, restore and reconstruct the
Collateral and the Mortgaged Premises to the extent necessary to restore each
portion of same to its condition immediately prior to such damage or

insurance proceeds available.

levies imposed upon the Borrower, or upon, or in respect of, all or any part of
the property or business of the Borrower, all trade accounts payable in
accordance with usual and customary business terms, and all claims for work,
labor or materials, which if unpaid might become a lien or charge upon any
property of the Borrower; provided the Borrower shall not be required to pay
any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, account payable or claim if (i) the
validity, applicability or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by
appropriate actions or proceedings which will prevent the forfeiture or sale of
any property of the Borrower or any material interference with the use thereof
by the Borrower, and (ii) the Borrower shall set aside on its books,
reserves deemed by it to be adequate with respect thereto. The Borrower will
promptly comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules and
regulations to which it is subject, including without limitation, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, ERISA, the Americans with
Disabilities Act and all Environmental Laws in all applicable jurisdictions,

business, prospects, profits or condition of the Borrower or would result in
any lien or charge upon any property of the Borrower.

Notify
the Lender immediately of any notice of a hazardous discharge or environmental
complaint received from any governmental agency or any other party; notify the
Lender immediately of any hazardous discharge from or affecting its premises;
immediately contain and remove the same, in compliance with all applicable
laws; promptly pay any fine or penalty assessed in connection therewith, except
such assessments as are being contested in good faith, against which adequate
reserves have been established; upon receipt of such notification, permit the
Lender to inspect the premises, and to inspect all books, correspondence, and
records pertaining thereto; and at the Lender’s request, and at the Borrower’s

this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.  If Borrower fails to make such payment within

obligated to) pay the amount due, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand
for all such Advances.  If applicable law
prohibits Borrower from paying such taxes, charges, filing, registration and
recording fees, excises, levies, stamp taxes or other taxes, then Lender may
declare the Indebtedness then unpaid to be immediately due and payable.  In such event, no Prepayment Fee (as defined

same shall become and be immediately due and payable, and without presentment,
protest, demand or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower.

 

15.03 COMPLETION OF PROJECT

 

If
any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and continue past
any applicable grace period,  and whether
or not the Lender shall have terminated its obligations to make Advances and
accelerated the maturity of the Construction Loan pursuant to Section 15.02,
the Lender, if the construction of the Improvements has not been fully
completed, may cause the Project to be completed and may enter upon the Land
and construct, equip and complete the Project in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications, with such changes therein as the Lender may, from time to time,
and in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. In connection with any
construction of the Project undertaken by the Lender pursuant to the provisions

construction, equipping and completion of the Project, whether the same shall
be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 15.03 or
otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by the Lender
hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be deemed Advances made to the Borrower
under this Agreement and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other
Security Documents. To the extent that any costs so paid or incurred by the
Lender, together with all other Advances made by the Lender hereunder, exceed
the Construction Loan Amount, the amount of such excess costs shall be added to
the Construction Loan Amount, and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the same,

Documents. In the event the Lender takes possession of the Project and assumes
control of such construction as aforesaid, it shall not be obligated to
continue such construction longer than it shall see fit and may 

 

48

 

thereafter,
at any time, change any course of action undertaken by it or abandon such
construction and decline to make further payments for the account of the
Borrower whether or not the Project shall have been completed. For the purpose
of this Section 15.03, the construction, equipping and completion of the
Project shall be deemed to include any action necessary to cure any Event of
Default by the Borrower under any of the terms and provisions of any of the
Loan Documents.

If
any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred, and whether or
not the Lender shall have terminated its obligations to make Advances or
accelerated the maturity of the Construction Loan pursuant to Section 15.02,
the Lender may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and remedies under
this Agreement, the Construction Note or any of the other Loan Documents by
suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the
Obligations are evidenced, including as permitted by applicable law the
obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount owed to
the Lender shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to
enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of the
Lender. No remedy conferred upon the Lender or the holder of the Note in this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other legal or equitable right of the Lender. No remedy
conferred upon the Lender or the holder of the Construction Note in this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any
other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given hereunder or thereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of
law.

 

15.05 RIGHTS AS TO COLLATERAL

 

Upon

and at any time thereafter, in addition to other rights and remedies the Lender
has under this Agreement, the Lender may:

 

15.05.1  Notify
account debtors at Borrower’s expense, that the Collateral has been assigned to
Lender and that payments shall be made directly to Lender and upon request of
Lender, Borrower will so notify such account debtor that their accounts must be
paid to Lender.  This right may be
exercised by the Lender at any time, even prior to default.  Borrower will immediately upon receipt of all
checks, drafts, cash and other remittances deliver the same in kind to the
Lender. Lender shall have full power to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or
otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or in
the name of Borrower and Borrower hereby, for consideration paid, irrevocably
appoints the Lender its attorney-in-fact for this purpose.

 

15.05.2  Without
notice to Borrower, enter and take possession of all Collateral and the Project
on which they are now or hereafter located, including without limitation,
breaking the close and changing and replacing locks as may be required without
the same being considered as a trespass, as Borrower hereby expressly provides
authority for the same.  The Lender, at
its sole discretion, may operate and use Borrower’s equipment, complete work in
process and sell inventory without being liable to the Borrower on account of
any losses, damage or depreciation that may occur as a result thereof so long
as Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and may lease or license the
Collateral to third persons or entities for such purposes; and in any event,
Lender may at its option and without notice to Borrower, except as specifically
herein provided, sell, lease, assign and deliver, the whole or any part of the
Collateral, or any substitute therefore, or any addition thereto, at public or
private sale, for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery, at such prices and
upon such terms as Lender deems advisable, including without limitation the
right to sell or lease in conjunction with other property, real or personal,
and allocate the sale proceeds or leases among the items of property sold
without the necessity of the Collateral being present at any such sale, or in
view of prospective purchasers thereof. 
Lender shall give Borrower timely notice by hand delivery to Borrower or
by United States mail, postage prepaid (in which event notice shall be deemed
to have been given when so deposited in the mail), at the address specified
herein, of the time and place of any public or private sale or other
disposition unless the Collateral is perishable, threatens to decline speedily
in value, or is the type customarily sold in a recognized market.  Upon such sale, Lender may become the
purchaser of the whole or any part of the Collateral sold, discharged from all
claims and free from any right of redemption. 
In case of any such sale by

 

49

 

Lender
of all or any of said Collateral on credit, or for future delivery, such
property so sold may be retained by Lender until the selling price is paid by
the purchaser.  The Lender shall incur no
liability in case of the failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the
Collateral so sold.  In case of any such
failure, the said Collateral may be again, from time-to-time, sold.

 

15.05.3. Continue to
occupy and use all premises which the Borrower now occupies or may hereafter
have or occupy, to the extent Borrower could legally do so, and may use all
trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade styles, logos, goodwill, trade
secrets, franchises, licenses and patents which the Borrower now has or may
hereafter acquire, including the following rights:

 

(i)  the rights in said marks, name, styles, logos and goodwill
acquired by the common law of the United States or of any state thereof or
under the law of any foreign nation, organization, or subdivision thereof;

 

(ii)  the rights acquired by registrations of said marks, names,
styles, and logos under the statute of any foreign country, or the United
States, or any state or subdivision thereof;

 

(iii)  the rights acquired in each and every form of said mark,
name, style and logo as used by the Borrower notwithstanding that less than all
of such forms would be registered and notwithstanding the form of said mark,
name and style;

 

(iv)  the right to use or license any party to the use of all or
any of said marks, names, styles, logos and goodwill in connection with the
sale of goods and/or the rendering of services in the conduct of services
advertising, promotion and the like anywhere in the world;

 

(v) 
the right to use said marks, names, styles, logos and goodwill either in
connection with or entirely independent from the Collateral;

 

(vi)  the right to assign, transfer and convey a partial interest
or the entire interest in any one or more of said marks, names, styles or
logos;

 

(vii) 
the right to seek registration, foreign or domestic, of any of said marks,
names, styles or logos which was not registered as of the date hereof or
registered subsequently;

 

(viii)  the right to prosecute pending trademark applications for
foreign or domestic registration (federal or state) of any of said marks,
names, styles or logos.

 

15.05.4  Act as
attorney-in-fact for Borrower for the purposes herein described, and Borrower
does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Lender as
Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power: to endorse the name
of Borrower or any of Borrower’s officers or agents upon any assignments,
notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment or
Collateral that may come into possession of Lender for purposes of such
recovery of accounts receivable monies; to sign and endorse the name of
Borrower or any of Borrower’s officers or agents upon any negotiable
instrument, invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or
warehouse receipts, drafts, assignments, verifications and notices in connection
with accounts, and any instruments or documents relating thereto or to Borrower’s
rights therein; to give notice to the United States Post Office to effect
changes of address so that mail addressed to the Borrower may be permanently
delivered directly to the Lender for purposes of accepting same, and obtaining
access to contents, in order to take possession of such accounts receivable
monies, and all other collateral, with full power to do any and all things
necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully and effectually as
Borrower might or could do; and Borrower does hereby ratify all that Lender
shall lawfully do, or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

 

15.05.5  Make all
Obligations immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest,
hearing or notice of any kind and exercise the remedies of a Lender afforded by
the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law or by the terms of any
agreement between Borrower and Lender.

 

50

 

15.05.6  In the case
of any sale or disposition of the Collateral, or the realization of funds
therefrom, the proceeds thereof shall first be applied to the payment of the
reasonable expenses of re-taking, maintaining, and foreclosure of Collateral,
and costs, fees and expenses of such sale, commissions, reasonable attorney’s
fees and all charges paid or incurred by Lender pertaining to said sale,
including any taxes or other charges imposed by law upon the Collateral and/or
the owning, holding or transferring thereof; secondly, to pay, satisfy, and
discharge the Obligations secured hereby pro rata in accordance with the unpaid
amount thereof; and thirdly, to pay the surplus, if any, to Borrower, provided
that the time of any application of the proceeds shall be at the sole and
absolute discretion of the Lender.  To
the extent such proceeds do not satisfy the foregoing items, Borrower hereby
promises and agrees to pay the deficiency.

 

15.05.7  The Lender
and the holders of the Obligations may take or release other security, may
release any party primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations,
may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to the Obligations,
or may apply to the Obligations the proceeds of the Collateral or any amount received
on account of the Collateral by the exercise of any right permitted hereunder,
without resorting or regard to other security or sources of reimbursement.

 

15.05.8  Require the
Borrower to assemble the Collateral in a single location at a place to be
designated by Lender and make the Collateral at all times secure and available
to the Lender.

 

15.05.9  The Lender
shall hereby also be granted a security interest in, and right of set off
against any balance on any deposit, deposit account, agency, reserve, holdback,
or other account maintained by, or on behalf of, the Borrower with the Lender
and the Lender shall have the right to apply the proceeds of such foreclosure
or set off against such items of Borrowers’ Obligations as Lender may select.

 

15.05.10 All rights and remedies of Lender whether provided
for herein or in other agreements, instruments, or documents, or conferred by
law, are cumulative and not alternative and may be enforced successively.

 

15.05.11 The parties agree that in the event that a
determination of Adequate Protection of Lender is required under Section 362
or 363 of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (Code), its successor, or
Bankruptcy Rules in connection therewith, that:

 

A.  The bargain of the parties at the time of
lien creation hereunder in order to provide the Lender with adequate protection
to induce it to make the loan(s), included stated ratios herein.

 

B.  That in the event of any proceeding under the
Code, that the said ratio of the value (as determined by the Lender in its sole
discretion) Collateral secured to Lender to the amount of the Obligation (“Collateral-To-Obligation
Ratio”), must be increased by an additional one hundred ten percent (110%) in
order to continue to provide minimum levels of Adequate Protection to Lender
due to the reduced expectation for present and future prospects of lien
enforcement resulting from the existence of proceedings under the Code.  This agreed minimum increase in said ratio
shall not act to bar Lender from presenting evidence that even such increase is
insufficient and leaves the Lender without Adequate Protection, based upon the
deteriorating nature or kind of Collateral, wholly or in part, in any instance.

 

C.  That the parties agree that the costs of
liquidating and collecting of Collateral, as well as the potential for rapid
Collateral deterioration if Borrower is, at any time, subject to the Code, all
require that the original Collateral-To-Obligation Ratio be increased, as
aforesaid, as a requirement of minimum Adequate Protection, in addition to such
other additional Adequate Protection as may be required by the Lender.

 

D.  The parties agree that these covenants shall
be conclusive evidence in any proceeding to determine minimum Adequate
Protection under the Code, as to the intention and agreement of the parties at
both this time, and at all times hereinafter, until the Obligations to the
Lender, are paid in full.

 

51

 

E.  That these agreements may be submitted to the
Court in any such proceeding, by the Lender, in its sole and exclusive
discretion, as conclusive evidence as to the agreement of the parties at the
time of such hearing, concerning minimum Adequate Protection to be provided to
the Lender at the time of presentment. 
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such submission shall not constitute a waiver of
any default or breach hereunder, or of any other agreement by the Borrower to
the Lender, but shall remain only as evidence for the limited purposes stated
herein.

 

F.  PROVIDED, FURTHER that at all times the
Lender reserves, and does not waive Borrower’s obligation to provide Adequate
Protection prior to the Borrower’s use of “cash collateral” as defined in Section 363
of the Code.

 

15.05.12   The Lender
has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting from any
other Person liable for them and Lender may release, modify or waive any
Collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all
without affecting Lender’s rights against Borrower.  Borrower waives any right it may have to
require Lender to pursue any third Person for any of the Obligations.

 

15.05.13  Lender may
comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with
a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely
to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

15.05.14  Lender may sell
the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  The Lender may specifically disclaim any
warranties of title or the like.  This
procedure will not be considered adversely to affect, the commercial
reasonableness of the sale of the Collateral.

 

15.05.15  If Lender
agrees with a purchaser to sell the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be
credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender
and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser.  In the event that purchaser fails to pay for
the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited
with the net proceeds of the sale.

 

15.05.16  In the event
Lender purchases any of the Collateral being sold, Lender may pay for the
Collateral by crediting some or all of the Obligations of the Borrower.

 

15.05.17  Lender has no
obligation to marshall any assets in favor of Borrower or in payment of any of
the Obligations or any other obligations owed to Lender by Borrower or any
other person.

 

15.06 DISTRIBUTION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS

 

In
the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any
Default or Event of Default, the Lender receives any monies in connection with
the enforcement of any the Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the
realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for
application as follows:

 

(a) First,
to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Lender for
or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses, attorneys fees, disbursements
and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Lender in
connection with the collection of such monies by the Lender,  for the exercise, protection or enforcement
by the Lender of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of
the Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in
respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity
to the Lender against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have,
priority over the rights of the Lender to such monies;

 

(b) Second,
to all Obligations in such order or preference as the Lender may determine in
its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Lender may in its discretion
make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and
payable;

 

52

 

(c) Third,
upon payment and satisfaction in full or other provisions for payment in full
satisfactory to the Lender of all of the Obligations, to the payment of any
obligations required to be paid pursuant to Article IX of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and

 

(d) Fourth,
the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons
as are entitled thereto.

 

15.07 POWER OF ATTORNEY

 

For
the purposes of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights,
remedies, powers and privileges granted by or referred to in this Section 15.07,
the Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts which are
referred to in this Section 15.07, in the name and on behalf of the
Borrower. The power vested in such attorney-in-fact is, and shall be deemed to
be, coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

 

15.08 WAIVERS

 

The
Borrower hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (a) all
presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the
extent required by the provisions hereof or of any of the other Loan
Documents), protests and notices of dishonor, (b) any requirement of
diligence or promptness on the Lender’s part in the enforcement of its rights
(but not fulfillment of its obligations) under the provisions of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, and (c) any and all notices of every
kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of
law and any defense of any kind which the Borrower may now or here after have
with respect to its liability under this Agreement or under any of the other
Loan Documents.

 

16.00      FINANCING STATEMENTS

 

Prior
to any Advance the Borrower hereby agrees to execute, deliver, and pay the cost
of filing any financing statement, or other notices appropriate under
applicable law, in respect of any security interest created pursuant to this
Agreement or at any other time which may at any time be required or which, in
the opinion of the Lender, may at any time be desirable.  In the event that any re-recording or
re-filing thereof (or the filing of any statements of continuation or assignment
of any financing statement) is required to protect and preserve such lien or
security interest, the Borrower shall, at its cost and expense, cause the same
to be re-recorded and/or re-filed at the time and in the manner requested by
the Lender.  The Borrower hereby
irrevocably designates the Lender, its agents, representatives and designees as
agents and attorneys-in-fact for the Borrower to sign such financing
statements, or other instruments in connection herewith, on behalf of the
Borrower and file the same, as required.

 

17.00      FINANCIAL COVENANTS

 

17.01      COVENANTS AS TO
BORROWER

 

Borrower, agrees to comply with the following financial ratios the
default of which shall constitute a default of this Agreement:

times not be in excess of seventy percent (70%).

Borrower will be tested for compliance with the Debt Service Coverage Ratio

18.00      TENURE

 

Borrower’s liability under this Agreement shall commence
with the date hereof and continue in full force and effect and be binding upon
Borrower until all Obligations whether now in existence, or created
hereinafter, shall

 

53

 

have been fully paid and satisfied, and until so paid
and satisfied, Lender shall be entitled to retain the security interest granted
hereby in all Collateral.  At any time,
either party may advise the other that no further loans or advances are to be
made, but such notice shall in no way cause any and all obligations of the
Borrower to Lender to be waived.

 

19.00      SETOFF

 

Regardless
of the adequacy of any Collateral, and at all times, any deposits (general or
specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency,
maturity, or the branch of the Lender where such deposits are held) or other
sums credited by or due from the Lender to the Borrower and any securities or
other property of the Borrower in the possession of the Lender may be applied to

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from and against any
and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from

costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation,
litigation or other proceeding. In litigation, or the preparation therefore, 

 

54

 

the Lender shall be entitled to select its own counsel

promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The obligations of
the Borrower under this Section 21.00 shall survive the repayment of the
Construction Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the
possibility of such claim, action or suit exists. If, and to the extent that
the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 21.00 are unenforceable
for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to
the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under
applicable law.

 

22.00      LIABILITY OF THE
LENDER

 

No
action shall be commenced by the Borrower or Guarantor for any claim against
the Lender under the terms of this Agreement unless written notice thereof,
specifically setting forth the claim of the Borrower, shall have been given to
the Lender at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the commencement of
such action.   The liability of the
Lender to the Borrower and Guarantor for any breach of the terms of this
Agreement by the Lender shall not exceed a sum equal to the amount which the
Lender shall be determined to have failed to Advance in consequence of a breach
by the Lender of its obligations under this Agreement, together with interest
thereon at the rate payable by the Borrower under the terms of the Note for
Advances which the Borrower is to receive hereunder, computed from the date
when the Advance should have been made by the Lender to the date when the
Advance is, in fact, made by the Lender and upon the making of any such payment
by the Lender to the Borrower, the same shall be treated as an Advance under
this Agreement, in the same fashion as any other Advance under the terms of
this Agreement.  In no event shall the
Lender be liable to the Borrower and/or Guarantor, or anyone claiming by, under
or through the Borrower and/or Guarantor, for any special, exemplary, punitive
or consequential damages, whatever the nature of the breach of the terms of
this Agreement by the Lender, such damages and claims therefore being expressly
waived by the Borrower and Guarantor.

 

23.00      RIGHTS OF THIRD
PARTIES

 

All
conditions to the performance of the obligations of the Lender under this
Agreement, including the obligation to make Advances, are imposed solely and
exclusively for the benefit of the Lender and no other Person shall have
standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their
terms or be entitled to assume that the Lender will refuse to make Advances in
the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person
shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such
conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
the Lender at any time if in its sole discretion it deems it desirable to do
so. In particular, the Lender makes no representations and assumes no
obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by
the Borrower of the Improvements or the absence therefrom of defects.

COVENANTS, ETC.

 

All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein,  in the Construction Note, in any of the other
Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of
the Borrower or the Guarantor pursuant hereto and thereto shall be deemed to
have been relied upon by the Lender, notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by it, and shall survive the making by the Lender
of the Advances, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and
effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Note or any of the
other Loan Documents remains outstanding or the Lender has any obligation to
make any Advances. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper
delivered to the Lender at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower or the
Guarantor pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower or the
Guarantor hereunder.

 

25.00      PARTICIPATION; ETC.

 

25.01    PARTICIPATIONS

 

The
Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or
a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; Provided that (a) any such sale or participation
shall not affect the rights and duties of the Lender hereunder to the Borrower
and (b) the only rights granted to the participant pursuant to such
participation arrangements with respect to waivers, amendments or modifications
of the Loan Documents shall be the right to approve waivers, amendments or
modifications that 

 

55

 

would
reduce the principal of or the interest rate on the Construction Loan, extend
the term or increase the amount of the Construction Loan or extend any
regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest.

 

25.02 PLEDGE BY THE LENDER

 

The
Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights
under this Agreement (including all or any portion of the Note) to any of the

release the Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other
Loan Documents.

The
Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
any of the Loan Documents without the prior approval of the Lender.

borrower, and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents
shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, joint
venturers or any other relationship other than lender and borrower.

We
are the Architect for the Project, and to induce Lender to advance loan
proceeds to assist in funding construction of the Project and knowing that
Lender will rely on this certificate in doing so, we hereby certify as follows:

 

1.
We inspected the Project on ___________, 20____ and found the status of the
Project on that date and the progress made on the Project since our last
certificate to you dated _________, 20___ to be as follows:

 

2.  All work to date has been done in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications and in a good and workmanlike manner. All
materials and fixtures usually furnished and installed or stored on site at the
current stage of construction have been furnished, installed or stored on site.
All of the work to date is hereby approved except as follows:

 

3.
We have examined the requisition being submitted herewith to you by Owner,
which requisition includes an Application for Payment from __________________________(“Contractor”)
respecting construction of the Project. The payment so applied for by
Contractor does not exceed (when added to the payments heretofore applied for
by and paid to Contractor) ___________percent (___%)  of the value of  materials on site, labor and materials
incorporated into the Project.

 

4.
We have been advised that as of this date there remains unexpended from the
proceeds of your Construction Loan $_________ which are available to fund
construction costs, from which funds to pay the aforementioned Application for
Payment will be deducted. In our opinion, such unexpended portion of your loan
proceeds, after deduction of funds sufficient to cover both the current
Application for Payment and the standard 10 percent retainage heretofore
withheld and to become due on account of previous applications, will be
sufficient to pay for all construction costs reasonably required to complete
the Project, provided that the amount advanced under the current application
is, in fact, applied against obligations incurred for labor and materials heretofore
furnished on account of construction of the Project.

 

5.
All permits, licenses, approvals and the like required to complete construction
of the Project have been validly issued by the appropriate authorities and are
in full force and effect, and there is no violation of any of the provisions
thereof or of any legal requirements applicable to the Project of which we have
notice or knowledge as of the date hereof except as follows:

 

Access
to and egress from the Project and all improvements to be constructed thereon
are in accordance with all applicable legal requirements. Water, drainage and
sanitary sewerage facilities and telephone, gas and electric services of public
utilities are or are due to be installed in the locations indicated on the Plans
and Specifications and are adequate to serve the Project. All necessary
approvals for installation of or connection to said facilities or services have
been obtained.

 

6.
To the best of our knowledge, there are no petitions, actions or proceedings
pending or threatened to revoke, rescind, alter or declare invalid any laws,
ordinances, regulations, permits, licenses or approvals for or relating to the
Project.

7.
No amendments, modifications or changes have been made to our contract dated _____________,

CONSTRUCTION

LINE-OF-CREDIT

CONSTRUCTION NOTE

 

AFTER DATE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Undersigned,
Tradeport Development III, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company, having
a usual place of business at 204 West Newberry Road, Bloomfield,
Connecticut  (the “Borrower”), promises
to pay to Berkshire Bank, a Massachusetts banking corporation, (“Lender”), or
order, at the Lender’s main office presently located at 31 Court Street,
Westfield, Massachusetts, or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing, the maximum principal sum of Twelve Million and 00/100 Dollars
($12,000,000) or so much thereof as may be Advanced (each Advance shall be
referred to as an “Advance” and all such Advances shall collectively be
referred to as the “Advances”) pursuant to a Construction Loan and Security
Agreement of even date herewith (“Loan Agreement”)  and incorporated by reference herein made between
Borrower and Lender.  Capitalized terms
not defined herein shall have the meaning given in the Loan Agreement.  The principal outstanding shall be repaid,
together with interest thereon as provided in this Note as follows:

 

INTEREST

 

For the entire term of the Loan, the Loan shall bear
interest at an adjustable annual rate equal to thirty (30) day LIBOR, plus Two
Hundred Seventy Five (275) basis points (collectively the “Applicable Rate”).  Such adjustments shall become effective on
the  1st day of each month (the “Reset
Date”).  Lender shall not be required to
notify Borrower of adjustments in said interest rate.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time
shall the Applicable Rate be less than four percent (4.00%) during the “Interest
Only Period” (defined hereinafter).

 

Subject to, and in accordance with the provisions of
this Note and the Loan Agreement, accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and
payable monthly, in arrears on the first day of each month.

 

REPAYMENT

 

Principal and interest due Lender hereunder shall be
payable as follows:

 

A.  Commencing on March 1,
2009  and thereafter on the same day of 

 

83

 

each succeeding month for a period of twelve (12) months
(the “Interest Only Period”), monthly payments of interest only in arrears,
calculated at the above rate of interest upon the unpaid principal hereunder.

 

B.  Commencing
on  March 1, 2010 and thereafter on
the same day of each succeeding month for a period of one hundred eight (108)
months (and based upon an amortization period of twenty-five (25) years, equal
monthly payments of principal in accordance with the attached amortization
schedule, plus accrued interest at the above Applicable Rate.

 

C.  All remaining
unpaid principal and all accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable in
full ten (10) years from the date hereof.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the
Loan Agreement, the amount of the Borrower’s available construction line of
credit hereunder shall be subject to the terms set forth in the Loan
Agreement.  This Note is the Note
referred to in, and is subject to, and entitled to, the benefits of the Loan
Agreement between the Borrower and the Lender. 
The terms used herein which are defined in the Loan Agreement shall have
their defined meanings when used herein. 
The Loan Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for
acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated
events.

 

Principal sums advanced under this Note shall reduce the
amount of principal available under this Note and may not be re-borrowed
or re-advanced.  This Note may be prepaid
only in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Loan Agreement which
does contain a provision for a Prepayment Premium in accordance with Section 4.10 of the Loan
Agreement.  All prepayments (with
prepayment defined herein as any payment of principal in advance of its due
date) shall be applied against the principal payments due hereunder in the
inverse order of their maturity.

 

The Lender may, in its sole discretion, and
notwithstanding execution of this Note by the Borrower in its stated maximum
Principal Sum, act to advance lesser sums thereon to the Borrower in amounts,
and at times in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

 

However, nothing herein shall be construed to restrict
the Lender, in its sole and exclusive discretion, from making Advances in
excess of the stated maximum dollar amount, without requirement of execution of
additional promissory note(s), or otherwise modifying this Note, and its so
doing at any time, or times, shall not waive its rights to insist upon strict
compliance with the terms of this Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other
instruments executed in connection with this financial transaction, at any other
time, and to further rely upon all collateral secured to it for satisfaction of
all obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, without exception.

 

Borrower agrees that the Lender may, at its sole and
exclusive discretion, make loan advances to the Borrower upon verbal, or
written, authority of any two of the following four individuals:  

 

84

 

Anthony J. Galici, Thomas M. Lescalleet, Frederick M.
Danziger and Kelly Poudrette ; may deliver loan proceeds by direct deposit to
any demand deposit account of the Borrower with the Lender, or otherwise, as so
directed; and that all such loans and advances as evidenced solely by the
Lender’s books, ledgers and records shall conclusively represent binding
obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

 

The Lender shall also record as a debit to the Borrower’s
Loan Account, in accordance with its customary accounting practice, all other
obligations, debts, charges, expenses, and other items properly chargeable to
the Borrower; and shall credit all payments made by the Borrower on account of
indebtedness evidenced by the Borrower’s Loan Account; as well as all proceeds
of collateral which are finally paid to the Lender at its own office in cash or
solvent credits; and other appropriate debits and credits.  The principal balance of the Borrower’s Loan
Account shall reflect the amount of the Borrower’s indebtedness to the Lender
from time-to-time by reason of loans and other appropriate charges
hereunder.  At least once each month the
Lender shall render a statement of account for the Borrower’s Loan Account
which statement shall be considered correct and accepted by the Borrower and
conclusively binding upon the Borrower, unless the subject of written objection
received by Lender, certified mail, return receipt requested, within ten  (10) days after mailing of its statement
to Borrower.

 

Borrower does hereby irrevocably grant to the Lender,
full power and authority, at its discretion, to debit any deposit account of
the Borrower with the Lender for the amount of any monthly interest owing on
Borrower’s Loan Account referred to herein; for the amount of any principal
reduction, or for any repayment of obligations due upon Borrower’s Loan Account
which the Lender may require, all without prior notice, or demand upon the
Borrower.

 

Any payments received by Lender with respect to this
Note shall be applied first to any costs, charges, or expenses (including
attorney’s fees) due Lender from the Borrower, second to any unpaid interest
hereunder, and third to the unpaid Principal Sum.

 

If any payment required hereunder is more than ten  (10) days overdue, (in addition to the
interest accruing hereunder) a late charge of five percent (5%) of the overdue
payment shall be charged to the Borrower and be immediately due and payable to
Lender.  Any payment having a due date
falling upon a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday shall be due and payable on
the next business day for which Lender is open for business, and interest shall
continue to accrue during any such period.

 

If any payment received by Lender with respect to this
Note shall be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a
voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under federal or state law, or
otherwise due any party other than Lender, then the obligation for which the
payment was made shall not be discharged by the payment and shall survive as an
obligation due hereunder, notwithstanding the Lender’s return to the Borrower
or any other party of the original of this Note or other instrument evidencing
the obligation for which payment was made.

 

Interest hereunder shall be computed in accordance with
the Loan Agreement.  Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default hereunder, interest upon the total unpaid principal
hereunder shall 

 

85

 

thereafter, at Lender’s option, without notice to
Borrower and until payment in full of all obligations hereunder, accrue at a
rate (“Default Rate”) equal to five percent (5%) above the interest rate then
in effect hereunder at the time of default.

 

It is not intended under this Note to charge interest at
a rate exceeding the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under
applicable law, but if interest exceeding said maximum rate should be paid
hereunder, the excess shall, at Lender’s option, be (a) deemed a voluntary
prepayment of principal not subject to the prepayment premium (if any) set
forth herein or (b) refunded to the Borrower.

 

The following described property, in addition to
all other collateral now or hereafter provided by the Borrower to Lender, shall
secure this Note and all other present or future obligations of the Borrower to
Lender: The Loan shall be secured by First Mortgage and Security Interest on
the Premises known as 100 International Drive, Windsor, Connecticut (“Mortgaged
Premises”), together with a collateral assignment of rents and leases.   The Lender shall also be granted a
collateral assignment of all deposits, rights, licenses, permits, construction
contracts, architect contracts and other governmental approvals necessary for
the construction, development, use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Premises for
its intended purpose.

 

As additional collateral for the payment and performance
of this Note and all other obligations, whether now existing or hereafter
arising, of the Borrower to Lender, Lender shall at all times have and is
hereby granted a security interest in and right of offset against all cash,
deposit balances and/or accounts, instruments, securities, or other property of
the Borrower, now or hereafter in the possession of Lender, whether for
safekeeping or otherwise.  This right of
offset shall permit Lender at any time, after default, and without notice to
the Borrower to transfer such funds or property as may be deemed by Lender to
be appropriate so as to reduce or satisfy any obligation of the Borrower to the
Lender.

 

This Note shall be in default, and all unpaid principal,
interest, and other amounts due hereunder, shall, at Lender’s option, be
immediately due and payable, without prior notice, protest, or demand, upon the
occurrence of any one or more of the events of default (the “Events of Default”),
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.  Default upon this Note shall also operate as
a default upon all other Obligations of Borrower to Lender.

 

The Borrower (a) waives presentment, demand,
notice, protest, and delay in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, collection, and enforcement of this Note, and (b) assents to
any extension, renewal, modification, or other indulgence permitted by Lender
with respect to this Note, including, without limitation, any release,
substitution, or addition of co-makers, of this Note and any release,
substitution, or addition of collateral securing this Note or any other
obligations of the Borrower to Lender, and (c) authorizes Lender, in its
sole and exclusive discretion and without notice to the Borrower, to complete
this Note if delivered incomplete in any respect.

 

No indulgence, delay, or omission by Lender in
exercising or enforcing any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall operate
as a waiver of any such rights or remedies or of the right to exercise them at
any later time.  No waiver of any default
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other 

 

86

 

default hereunder or as a continuing waiver.  The Lender’s acceptance of any payment
hereunder, following any default, shall not constitute a waiver of such default
or of any of the Lender’s rights or remedies hereunder (including charging
interest at the Default Rate), unless waived in writing by Lender.

 

All of the Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder and
under any other loan documents, or instruments, shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently, at the Lender’s sole and exclusive
discretion.

 

The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and
expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred
by Lender in connection with the protection and/or enforcement of any of Lender’s
rights or remedies hereunder, whether or not any suit has been instituted by
Lender.

 

The word “Lender” where used herein shall mean the named
payee, its successors, assigns, affiliates, and endorsees (and/or the holder of
this Note if, at any time, it is made payable to bearer), all of whom this Note
shall inure to their benefit as holders in due course.

 

The word “Borrower” where used herein includes its
successors and assigns of this Note, and their respective heirs, successors,
assigns, and representatives, shall be jointly and severally liable
hereunder.  Any reference herein to the
Borrower, is a reference to such party or parties individually as well as
collectively.

 

The use of masculine or neuter genders hereunder shall
be deemed to include the feminine, and the use of the singular or the plural
herein shall be deemed to include the other, as the context may require.

 

The Borrower represents that the proceeds of this Note
will not be used for personal, family, or household purposes and that this loan
is strictly a commercial transaction.

 

Except as provided in clauses A, B, C, D and E, below,
notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Construction
Note or in any other document or instrument, the indebtedness evidenced by this
Construction Note or evidenced or secured thereunder shall be non-recourse to
the Borrower following the receipt of a final certificate of occupancy for the
Mortgaged Premises after which  Borrower
shall be liable upon the indebtedness evidence hereby or evidenced or secured
thereby to the full extent (but only to the extent) of the security therefore,
the same being the Mortgaged Premises and all rights, estates and interests
therein or related thereto securing the payment of this Construction Note.  If an Event of Default occurs hereunder or
under any of the Obligations, or in the timely and proper performance of any
Obligations of Borrower thereunder, any judicial proceedings brought by Lender,
or the holder hereof, against Borrower shall be limited to the preservation,
enforcement and foreclosure, or any thereof, of the liens, security, title,
estates, rights and security interests now or at anytime hereafter securing the
payment of this  Construction Note or the
other Obligations of Borrower to Lender, and no attachment, execution or other
writ of process shall be sought, issued, or levied upon any assets, properties
or funds of Borrower other than the Mortgaged Premises (except as provided
hereafter) and in the event of foreclosure of such liens, 

 

87

 

security, title, estates, rights or security interests,
securing the payment of the Construction Note, and/or other Obligations of
Borrower, no judgment for any deficiency upon the indebtedness evidenced hereby
or evidenced or secured thereby shall be sought or obtained by Lender, or the
holder hereof, against Borrower, unless there has occurred an Event of
Default.  Borrower shall be  unconditionally liable to Lender for all of
its Obligations due to Lender by reason of, or in connection with the
occurrence of any of the following events:

 

A.  The
misapplication of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, including, but
not limited to, the failure to deliver same to Lender, any receiver or any
purchaser at foreclosure, if appropriate;

 

B.  Following an
Event of Default, the misapplication of any tenant rents or security deposits
or any other refundable deposits, including, but not limited to, the failure to
deliver same to Lender, any receiver or any purchaser at foreclosure, if
appropriate;

 

C.  The
misapplication of any Gross Revenues generated at or by the Mortgaged Premises
after the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Documents;

 

D.  Waste committed
on the Mortgaged Premises or damage to the Mortgaged Premises as a result of
the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of Borrower or the wrongful
removal or destruction of any portion of the Mortgaged Premises; or

 

E.  Loss incurred
by lender and caused by the material breach of any material representation or
warranty made in connection with the Loan known by Borrower or  its Member to have been false when made or
deemed made, including any material misrepresentation or inaccuracy contained

this Agreement known by Borrower or  its
Member to have been false or inaccurate when provided.

 

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND THE BORROWER SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF
ITS COURTS WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS CONCERNING THIS NOTE OR ANY COLLATERAL
SECURING IT.

 

ALL PARTIES TO THIS NOTE, INCLUDING LENDER, AND AS

Ladies/Gentlemen:

 

As
you are aware, GeoQuest, Inc. is currently conducting a soil remediation
project on the above referenced property. 
The excavation and off-site disposal of the contaminated soil is
currently ongoing.  Upon the completion
of the fieldwork and receipt of the laboratory analyses for the confirmation
soil samples, GeoQuest will complete a final report for the project.  A copy of this report will be forwarded to
Berkshire Bank for its records.

 

In
order to comply with wetlands regulations, soil contamination on one portion of
the site (a 12,000 square foot designated wetland located along the western
exterior wall of the proposed site building) will remain after the current
remediation project is completed.  Based
on field observations, this area contains approximately 1,000 yards of
contaminated soil.  The final report will
include site plans depicting the location of the wetland area.  A site plan of this wetlands area is
attached.

 

The
contaminated soil remaining in the wetland area does not pose a health risk to
site occupants and does not require removal in order to comply with current
State or Federal regulations.

 

If
you have any questions or would like to discuss the project in further detail,
please call me at (860) 243-1757.

 

 

	
   

  	
  Very
  truly yours,
