Owner in its sole and absolute discretion and without further recourse to
any party (except for reimbursement of Project related expenses) in the
event that the closing and funding of the construction loan financing with
respect to the Project pursuant to the Project Loan (with all conditions
precedent to such closing either satisfied or irrevocably waived by the
lender) shall not have occurred by July 1, 1997.
(b) Owner and Developer also contemplate that the Property and Project,
