to Borrower on any Business Day during the period from the date

provided all other conditions to such
Advances shall have been satisfied, unless
Borrower knew of the existence of the event
or condition that has a Material Adverse
Effect at the time of the Closing of such
Non-Revolving Loans and failed to disclose
the same to Lender).
2.2 Intentionally Omitted.
2.3 Intentionally Omitted.
2.4 Rates of Interest.
2.4.1 Construction Periods. During any Construction Period,
Borrower will pay Lender interest on the outstanding
principal balance of each Advance under each
Non-Revolving Loan from the date of each such Advance
at a rate of interest equal to the Base Rate.
2.4.2 Mini-Perm Periods. During any Mini-Perm Period, Borrower
will pay Lender interest on the outstanding principal
balance of each Advance or Converted Advance of each
Non-Revolving Loan from the date of each such Advance or
Converted Advance at a rate of interest equal to: (i) the
Base Rate or (ii) the Applicable Margin plus the LIBOR Rate,
as such rate may be selected by Borrower in each Notice of
Pricing Election. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to
the contrary, for each Non- Revolving Loan, in the event
that: (i) no interest rate is selected, or (ii) an Interest
Period expires and no new interest rate is selected in a
Notice of Pricing Election with respect to an Advance or
Converted Advance, the rate of interest payable on such
Advance or Converted Advance under the applicable
Non-Revolving Loan will be the rate for Base Rate Advances
until otherwise elected in connection with a Conversion.
2.5 Conversions. During any Mini-Perm Period, Borrower may on any
Business Day, upon delivering to Lender a Notice of Pricing
Election specifying a "Conversion" not later than 11:00 a.m.
(Cleveland time) on the third Business Day prior to the
proposed conversion, convert all or any portion of LIBOR Rate
Advances or Base Rate Advances under any Non-Revolving Loan
into an Advance or Advances in a different rate mode;
provided, however, that: (i) any conversion of any Advances
will be in a minimum amount of $3,000,000 and integral
multiples of $500,000 or greater in excess thereof or will be
a Conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of the
Loan; (ii) any conversion of any Advances will be made
effective only on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Advances; (iii) no more than one (1) LIBOR Rate Advance may be
outstanding with respect to each Non-Revolving Loan at any one
time (however, Borrower may aggregate multiple Advances of a
Non-Revolving Loan into a single LIBOR Rate Advance on the
first day of any Interest Period). No conversion will be
effective unless a proper, timely and fully completed Notice
of Pricing Election specifying a Conversion is delivered to
Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, if Borrower elects a Conversion to a LIBOR Rate
Advance, only so much of the outstanding principal amount of
the Loan as would not become due and payable during the
Interest period shall be designated as a LIBOR Rate Advance.
2.6 Interest Payments. Interest will accrue from the date of each
Advance or Converted Advance of each Loan. Accrued interest on
each Advance or Converted Advance will be due and payable
monthly commencing on the first day of each calendar month
following such Advance or Converted Advance; provided,
however, that interest on Advances or Converted Advances will
be due and payable upon payment in full of all such Advances
or Converted Advances.
2.7 Intentionally Omitted.
2.8 Principal Payments.
2.8.1 Loans. Borrower will pay: (i) to Lender the outstanding
principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on,
each Loan on its Maturity Date; (ii) to Lender, during the
final twelve months of each Mini-Perm Period, monthly
principal payments on the first day of each calendar month
on each Non-Revolving Loan in an amount specified on a
schedule attached to the each Note which amount will be
calculated by Lender (which calculation, absent manifest
error, will be conclusive) as follows: 1/12th of the
aggregate payment of principal which would be made by
Borrower during the final twelve months of such Mini-Perm
Period (assuming approximately level monthly principal
payments) if the maximum amount of such Non-Revolving Loan,
including principal, interest, late charges, and all other
sums due under the applicable Note were to accrue interest
at an assumed fixed rate equal to the rate fixed by the
Interest Rate Hedge Agreement executed in connection with
the Closing and such balance were
amortized over an assumed 20-year period beginning on such
date.
2.8.2 Optional Prepayment. Subject to the terms and conditions of
Agreement, Borrower may elect to prepay all or any part of
an Advance during any Mini-Perm Period by delivering to
Lender a Notice of Prepayment, at least one (1) Business Day
prior to the proposed prepayment date in the case of a Base
Rate Advance, and at least three (3) Business Days prior to
the proposed date of prepayment in the case of any LIBOR
Rate Advance, provided that each partial prepayment of any
Advance will be in an aggregate principal amount of
$3,000,000 or in multiples of $500,000 or greater in excess
thereof or (that such prepayment will be of the entire
outstanding principal amount of the applicable Non-
Revolving Loan) and provided further that each prepayment of
any LIBOR Rate Advance will be accompanied by payment of the
accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal
amount prepaid and all prepayment amounts will be
accompanied by any applicable Prepayment Premium. Each
Notice of Prepayment must specify, as to each Advance being
prepaid, the proposed prepayment date, the Advance being
prepaid and the aggregate principal amount of the
prepayment. No optional prepayment shall be permitted during
any Construction Period. Upon any optional prepayment, a
termination event shall occur under any agreement entered
into pursuant to Section 3.3.4 below. Except as specifically
-------------
provided for in the Loan Documents, no prepayment charges or
premiums shall be payable by Borrower.
2.9 Interest on the Advances.
2.9.1 Interest Rates on Non-Revolving Loans. Each
Non-Revolving Loan will bear interest from the
Borrowing Date thereof on the principal amount
thereof from time to time outstanding until due and
payable (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) as set forth in Section
-------
2.4.
----
2.9.2 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest will be
payable (a) monthly on the first day of each month
commencing on the first day of the month following
the first disbursement under the Non-Revolving Loan
for interest accrued for the prior month or any part
thereof, as the case may be, (b) on the Maturity
Date, and (c) to the extent any of the Obligations
remain unpaid after the Maturity Date, on demand.
2.9.3 Default Rate. At the option of the Lender, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, the unpaid
principal amount of each Advance, and to the extent
not paid when due, the unpaid amount of all interest,
fees, expenses and other amounts payable hereunder,
will bear interest at the Default Rate in effect from
time to time until such Event of Default is cured.
After maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise), the principal of the Loan
and the unpaid interest and fees thereon shall bear interest
at the Default Rate.
2.10 Records. Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower to record in
its books and records, the date, amount, Interest Rate, and
applicable Interest Period, if any, of each Advance made to
Borrower, the date and amount of each payment of principal or
interest thereon, which books and records will constitute
prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so
-----------
recorded, provided, however, that failure of Lender to record,
--------
or any error in recording, any such information will not
relieve Borrower of its obligations to repay the outstanding
principal amount of the Advances, all accrued interest
thereon, and other amounts payable with respect thereto in
accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Agreement. The
information as reflected by records maintained by Lender
related to Advances will prevail, absent manifest error, in
the event that the information as reflected by the records
maintained by Borrower differs from Lender's records in any
respect.
2.11 Assumptions Regarding Notices.
2.11.1 Responsible Officers. Any Responsible Officer of Borrower
may submit a Notice on behalf of Borrower. Lender will be
entitled to rely conclusively on each Responsible Officer's
authority to submit a Notice on behalf of Borrower until
Lender receives written notice from Borrower to the
contrary. Except in the case where Lender has reasonable
cause to believe a written or oral notice is unauthorized,
Lender will have no duty to verify the authenticity of the
signature appearing on any written Notice and, with respect
to an oral Notice, Lender will have no duty to verify the
identity of any Person representing himself as one of the
Responsible Officers entitled to make such a request on
behalf of Borrower. 2.11.2 No Liability. Lender will not
incur any liability to Borrower in acting upon any Notice
which Lender believes in good faith to have been given by a
Responsible Officer or for otherwise acting in good faith in
accordance with this Section 2 and, upon Lender's accepting
---------
any Notice in accordance with this Section 2 pursuant to any
--------
such Notice, Borrower will have effectively elected the
Borrowing, conversion, continuation, prepayment, reduction
or termination thereunder.
2.11.3 Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice (whether telephonic,
telecopy, or facsimile or otherwise) given or deemed
to have been given pursuant to this Section will be
irrevocable, provided that any refinancing
transaction related to a Notice of Prepayment may be
delayed or rescheduled for a reasonable period of
time notwithstanding the date proposed for such
prepayment in the Notice of Prepayment.
2.12 Computations, Fees, Payments, Etc.
2.12.1 Computations. All computations of interest and of fees
hereunder will be made by Lender, on the basis of: (i) for
Base Rate Advances, and fees and expenses due hereunder, a
360 day year, and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Rate Advances a
360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are
payable. Each determination by Lender of an Interest Rate or
fee hereunder will be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. Whenever any payment to be
made by Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents is stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment will be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time will in such case
be included in the computation of payment of interest or
fees, as the case may be.
2.12.2 Fees. The fees described in this subsection represent
compensation for services rendered and to be rendered
separate and apart from the lending of money or the
provision of credit and do not constitute compensation for
the use or forbearance of money, and the obligation of
Borrower to pay such fees will be in addition to and not in
lieu of the obligation of Borrower to pay interest, other
fees and expenses otherwise described herein or in the other
Loan Documents. The following fees will be paid
by Borrower:
2.12.2.1 Facility Fee. Borrower will pay to Lender
a Facility Fee equal to one-half of one
percent (0.5%) of the maximum principal
amount of each of the Non-Revolving Loans on
the first Business Day after the date 12
months from the Closing Date for each
Non-Revolving Loan.
2.12.2.2 Lender Closing Expenses. All out-of-pocket
expenses, plus reasonable legal expenses not
to exceed $8000 for each Closing, incurred
by Lender in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents will be paid by Borrower to
Lender on each Closing Date.
2.12.2.3 Construction Montitoring Fee. Borrower
will pay to Lender, for its own account, on
demand, a Construction Monitoring Fee of
$10,000 for each Note on each Closing Date.
2.12.2.4 Late Fee. Following Notice of non-payment
of any obligation due hereunder given by
Lender and the expiration of any applicable
cure period, Borrower will pay a late fee
equal to the greater of $25.00 or ten
percent (10%) of the amount of principal and
interest not timely paid by Borrower.
2.12.2.5 Commitment Fee. Borrower will pay to Lender any
unpaid portion of the Commitment Fee on the earlier
of: (i) the first Closing Date; or (ii) November
30, 1998.

including electronic transfers, to Lender's Account for
Non-Revolving Loans, in same day funds. Amounts received by
Lender, as the case may be, after 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland
time) on any Business Day will be deemed to have been
received on the next Business Day. Subject to the foregoing,
Lender will apply payments in the following order: (i) to
charges, fees and expenses (including Attorneys' Fees)
payable to Lender which are payable by Borrower as provided
in this Agreement or the Loan Documents, (ii) to accrued
interest, and (iii) to principal.
2.12.4 Charge to Accounts. Lender is hereby authorized to make any
payment of principal, interest, fees, expenses or other
Obligations specified or referred to in this Agreement or
the Loan Documents to Lender when due, on Borrower's behalf
by charging any Corporate Checking Account, and/or drawing a
Non-Revolving Loan, in the appropriate amount and each such
draw will constitute a Non-Revolving Loan and a Borrowing
hereunder and part of the Obligations, secured by all of the
Collateral; provided, however, that Lender will not be
obligated to make any such charge or draw. Lender may, in
Lender's discretion, either (a) so charge the Corporate
Checking Account for such amount and/or draw an Advance or
(b) require Borrower to pay such amount; provided that if
--------
Borrower does not pay such amount upon demand therefor by
Lender, such amount will bear interest at the Default Rate.
Borrower also does hereby authorize Lender, if and to the
extent payment of any of the Obligations owed such by
Borrower is not made when due hereunder, to charge any
amount so due from time to time against any or all accounts
of Borrower with Lender. Lender shall provide the applicable
Borrower with 5 days prior Notice of any payment or charge
to be made pursuant to this Section 2.12.4.
--------------
2.13 Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder or under
the Loan Documents will be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and
all liabilities with respect thereto, other than any tax on
or measured by the net
income of Lender pursuant to the income tax laws of the United
States or any state or political subdivisions thereof (all
such non-excluded items being hereinafter referred to as the
"Taxes"). Borrower agrees to pay any future stamp, recording
or documentary taxes or similar levies which arise from any
payment made hereunder or under the Loan Documents or from the
execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or the Loan Documents (hereinafter
referred to as the "Levies"). Borrower will indemnify Lender
for the full amount of Taxes or Levies paid by Lender (as the
case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest,
additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Levies were
correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of Lender as to
any additional amounts payable to Lender under this Section
submitted to Borrower will be conclusive absent manifest
error. Borrower will pay to Lender for the account of Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five
(5) days after receipt of the same. The agreements and
obligations contained in this Section will survive the payment
in full of the Obligations and any termination of this
Agreement.
2.14 Additional Costs.
2.14.1 Taxes, Reserve Requirements, Etc. In the event that any
applicable law, rule or regulation first in effect after the
date hereof, or any interpretation or administration thereof
of an applicable law, rule or regulation by any Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by Lender with any guideline, request
or directive of any such authority (whether or not having
the force of law), will (i) subject Lender to any tax or
affect the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of any
amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement (other than
taxes imposed on the overall net income of Lender, by the
jurisdiction, or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority of any such jurisdiction, in which Lender has its
principal office), or (ii) will impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of, or credit extended by Lender (including but not
limited to a request or requirement which affects the manner
in which Lender allocates capital resources to its
commitments or obligations, including without limitation its
obligations under this Agreement, the Loans, and other
obligations) or (iii) will impose any other condition
affecting this Agreement, any of the Obligations or any of
the Loan Documents, and the result of any of the foregoing
is to increase the direct or indirect cost of making,
funding or maintaining the Loans or other Obligations or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
Lender thereon, calculated on a net basis for any one or
related series of the foregoing events, then Borrower will
pay to Lender from time to time, upon request by Lender,
with a copy of such request to be provided to Lender,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender
for such increased cost or reduced sum receivable.
2.14.2 Capital Adequacy. If either: (i) the introduction, after the
date hereof, of, or any change after the date hereof in, or
in the interpretation or administration of, any United
States or foreign law, rule or regulation, or (ii)
compliance with any directive, guidelines or request from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or
not having the force of law), promulgated, or made after the
date hereof requiring that the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by Lender or any corporation
directly or indirectly owning or controlling Lender be
materially altered and Lender determines that such
introduction, change or compliance has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital or
on the capital of such owning or controlling corporation as
a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under any of
the Loans or other Obligations or any commitment to lend
thereunder or relating thereto, calculated on a net basis
for any one or related series of the foregoing events, to a
level below that which Lender or such owning or controlling
corporation could have achieved but for such introduction,
change or compliance by an amount deemed by Lender (in its
sole discretion) to be material, then, from time to time,
Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction. In the
event that Borrower is required by Lender to pay such
additional amounts pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall
be entitled to prepay the outstanding principal balance and
all accrued but unpaid interest thereon without a Prepayment
Premium, provided that Borrower shall make such prepayment
within 90 days following Lender's first request for such
additional amounts pursuant to this Section.
2.14.3 Certificate of Lender. To the extent reasonably practicable,
Lender will give Borrower prompt written notice of any claim
under this Section and will take steps to minimize the
impact of any of the events described in Sections 2.14.1
---------------
and/or 2.14.2, above, by transferring the Non-Revolving
--------------
Loans outstanding hereunder to another office, branch,
subsidiary or affiliate of Lender, so long as such action is
not disadvantageous to Lender. A certificate of a Lender
setting forth such amount or amounts as will be necessary to
compensate Lender as specified in Sections 2.14.1 and/or
-----------------------
2.14.2, above which will include detailed explanations and
------
calculations, will be delivered to Borrower and will be
conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower will pay Lender
for the account of Lender the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within five (5) days after its receipt of
the same. Failure on the part of Lender to deliver any such
certificate will not constitute a waiver of Lender's rights
to demand compensation for any particular period or any
future period. The protection of this Section will be
available to Lender regardless of any possible contention of
invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation,
etc., that results in the claim for compensation under this
Section, but if any law, regulation, etc., is later found to
be invalid or inapplicable, Lender promptly will return to
Borrower any sums received under this Section. The
agreements and obligations contained in this Section will
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and any
termination of this Agreement.
2.15 Obligation to Indemnity.
2.15.1 Events. In the event of Borrower's failure to
accept the proceeds from an Advance after making a
request therefor, Lender will, following Notice to
Borrower and expiration of 5 Business Days: (i) at
the request of Borrower, deposit such funds into a
reserve account; or (ii) immediately prepay such
Advance and Borrower will pay to Lender on written
demand an amount equal to the interest that would
have accrued on such Advance plus any applicable
Prepayment Premium calculated through the date of
such prepayment by Lender of such amounts. The
obligations of Borrower under this Section will
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
any termination of this Agreement.

delayed; provided, that changes in the Plans and
Specifications and the Construction Contract
(including change orders thereunder) which do not
materially modify the scope or use of the

which Lender is authorized to deduct as an Advance
under the Note of Borrower;
7.2.7 Following an Event of Default, in the event

7.6 Procedure For Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, Lender shall make Advances of each Non-Revolving
Loan to a Corporate Checking Account maintained by Borrower
at Lender's Affiliate, from time to time, for payment of
construction costs of the Improvements, as such construction
occurs as determined by the Inspector. Advances shall be
made upon request of Borrower in the following manner for
each Project:
7.6.1 Not less than ten (10) Business Days before the
date on which Borrower desires an Advance,
Borrower shall submit to Lender a request for an
Advance using AIA Forms G702 and G703, including
any change orders, invoices for soft costs, and
other documents required hereunder, accompanied by
a cost breakdown, the accuracy of which shall be
certified by Borrower and approved in writing by
the Project Architect or the county engineer in
the county in which the Project is located.
Lender's "Hard and Soft Cost Requisition Form"
form shall serve as the disbursement control for
each line item. Lender shall not be required to
make an Advance for any line item in excess of the
amount shown in the "Loan Reserve Category" set
forth in such "Hard and Soft Cost Requisition
Form" form;
7.6.2 Requests for Advances after the first Advance
shall not be made more often than once a month and
the total amount advanced shall not at any time
exceed an amount equal to (i) the percentage of
completion evidenced by the inspections of the
Improvements by the Inspector, times (ii) the
estimated total construction costs filed by
Borrower and General Contractor and approved by
Lender, (minus the Retainage, as set forth in this
-----
Section, and any Advances previously made on
account of the cost of materials stored on the
Property). Prior to each Advance, at Borrower's
expense, an appointed inspector shall inspect the
Improvements to verify that the request for an
Advance accurately reflects the amount of
construction completed to date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender shall withhold the
Retainage, provided that when the Project is 50%
complete as certified by the Inspector for the
Project and provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing after the giving of any
applicable Notice and the lapse of any applicable
cure periods, the Retainage will be reduced to the
greater of the retainage rate specified in the
General Contractor's contract or five percent
(5%). The Retainage shall be held until
Completion, provided, however, that if: (i) no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
after the giving of any applicable notice and the
lapse of any applicable cure periods, (ii) Lender
receives certification from the Inspector that all
such work is complete; and (iii) Lender receives
appropriate lien waivers, the Retainage for up to
three trades (selected by Borrower and approved by
Lender, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld) will be released upon full completion of
all work on the Project for each particular trade
selected;
7.6.3 Borrower shall furnish Lender and the Title
Company with any evidence, lien waivers, or
affidavits required by the Title Company at the
time of each request for an Advance to insure that
all bills then due and payable for labor and
materials used in constructing the Improvements
and all bills due and payable to contractors,
subcontractors, laborers, and materialmen have
been paid in full, except those bills to be paid
with such Advance. With each request for an
Advance to be used for contract payments of at
least $50,000, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
and the Title Company waivers of liens from
contractors in the respective sum received by each
such contractor for all of Borrower's preceding
requests for Advances.
7.6.4 Borrower will have the right to reallocate line
items in the Budget, subject to the following: (i)
proper substantiation for adjustments is delivered
to Lender, (ii) no adjustments may be made between
hard and soft costs until after Completion of the
Project, at which time savings in hard cost line
items may be reallocated to soft cost line items,
(iii) no adjustments shall be permitted to the
equity or interest reserve line items; and (iv)
any reallocation must involve at least $10,000 in
total adjustments;
7.6.5 Following an Event of Default and with the consent
of the surety issuing the payment and performance
bonds for the applicable Project, Lender may, at
Lender's election, pay all bills for labor or
materials, directly to the Persons furnishing such
labor or materials. Lender will only make Advances
for the cost of materials stored on the Property
limited to three percent (3%) of the hard costs
for such materials, provided the same are
adequately secured and insured. Advances
previously made on account of stored materials
shall not be included in this three percent (3%)
limit once such materials have been integrated
into the Project. Lender will not make Advances
based on the cost of materials not stored on the
Property except for Advances to be made on account
of costs associated with the line item for FF&E on
the Budget which shall be made for 100% of the
costs thereof up to a maximum of $300,000 upon
evidence acceptable to Lender of insurance,
bonding and an effective first-priority security
interest thereon in favor of Lender. Lender will
make Advances approximately 10 days after
satisfaction of all conditions applicable to such
Advances.
7.7 Sufficiency of Loan To Complete Construction. Anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
it is expressly understood and agreed that the Loan shall at
all times be "in balance." The Loan shall be deemed to be
"in balance" only at such time and from time to time, as
Lender may determine in Lender's reasonable discretion that
the then undisbursed portion of the applicable Non-Revolving
Loan equals or exceeds the amount necessary for the timely
and full payment of (i) all work done and not theretofore
paid for or to be done in connection with the completion of
the construction of the Project in accordance with the Plans
and Specifications, including completion of all Tenant
Improvements and the installation of all fixtures and
equipment required for operation of the Project, and (ii)
all other costs and expenses incurred and not theretofore
paid for, or to be incurred in connection with the Project
(to the extent revenues will not, in Lender's sole
reasonable judgment, be sufficient for the timely and full
payment of such costs and expenses). Borrower agrees that if
the Loan is deemed not to be "in balance", Borrower shall,
within thirty (30) days after written request by Lender,
deposit the deficiency into its Corporate Checking Account,
which deposit shall first be exhausted before any further
Advances are made (or at Borrower's option, provide Lender
with reasonable assurances (as determined by Lender in
Lender's sole discretion) that such funds are or will be
available). Lender shall not be obligated to make any
Advance if the applicable Non-Revolving Loan is not in
balance.

payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind,

other rights and remedies provided hereunder, under any of the Loan
Documents and/or by applicable law. After the occurrence of any Event
of Default, Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time
without notice to Borrower to offset, appropriate and apply to all or
any part of the Obligations all moneys, credits, deposits (general or
special, demand or time, provisional or final) and other property of
any nature whatsoever of Borrower now or at any time hereafter in the
possession of, in transit to or from, under the control or custody of,
or on deposit with (whether held by Borrower individually or jointly
with another party) Lender any or all indebtedness at any time owing
by Lender to or for the credit or account of Borrower. The rights and
remedies of Lender upon the occurrence of any Event of Default will
include but not be limited to all rights and remedies provided in the
Loan Documents and all rights and remedies provided under applicable
law. Borrower irrevocably waives (a) any requirement of marshalling of
the Collateral upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and (b) any
right to direct the application of any payments received by Lender
from or on behalf of Borrower after the occurrence of any Event of
Default. Lender, at its option, may apply any or all funds not
previously disbursed to payment of outstanding invoices and to
completion of the Improvements, with the right and power in such event
to enter upon and take possession of the Project and the Improvements,
to make such changes in the Plans and Specifications as may seem
desirable, and to do all things reasonably necessary in Lender's
opinion to complete or partially complete the Improvements. Lender
shall not be responsible for the workmanship and materials in such
completion or partial completion of construction, with the single
exception that Lender shall be required to use reasonable care in the
selection of the contractor or contractors used by it in such
completion or partial completion.
9. Representations and Warranties to Survive. All representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements made by Borrower herein and in
the other Loan Documents will survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the issuance of the Notes.
10. Environmental Indemnification. Lender will not be deemed to assume any
liability or obligation for loss, damage, fines, penalties, claims or
duties to clean-up or dispose of wastes or materials on or relating to
the Property merely by conducting any inspections of the Property or
by obtaining title to the Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise. Borrower, including its successors and
assigns, agrees to remain fully liable and will indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Lender, its respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, invitees, successors
and assigns, from and against any claims, demands, judgments, damages,
actions, causes of action, injuries, administrative orders,
liabilities, costs, expenses, clean-up costs, waste
disposal costs, litigation costs, fines, penalties, damages and other
related liabilities arising from (i) the failure of Borrower to
perform any obligation herein required to be performed by Borrower,
(ii) the removal or other remediation of hazardous or toxic
substances, hazardous wastes, pollutants or contaminants, solid waste
or petroleum at or from the Property, (iii) any act or omission, event
or circumstance existing or occurring resulting from or in connection
with the ownership, construction, occupancy, operation, use and/or
maintenance of the Property, (iv) any and all claims or proceedings
(whether brought by private party or governmental agency) for bodily
injury, property damage, abatement or remediation, environmental
damage or impairment and any other injury or damage resulting from or
relating to any hazardous or toxic substances, hazardous waste,
pollutants, contaminants, solid waste, or petroleum located upon or
migrating into, from or through the Property (whether or not any or
all of the foregoing was caused by the Borrower or its tenant or
subtenant, or a prior owner of the Property or its tenant or
subtenant, or any third party and whether or not the alleged liability
is attributable to the handling, storage, generation, transportation
or disposal of such material or the mere presence of such material on
the Property), except to the extent caused by or the result of any act
of (a) Lender or its agents, or (b) any owner of the Property after
foreclosure or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and (v) Borrower's
breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Section.
Without limitation, the foregoing indemnities will apply to Lender
with respect to claims, demands, losses, damages (including
consequential damages), liabilities, causes of action, judgements,
penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees
and court costs) which in whole or in part are caused by or arise out
of the negligence of Lender. Such indemnity, however, will not apply
to Lender to the extent the subject of the indemnification is caused
by or arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Lender. All environmental representations, warranties, covenants, and
indemnities will continue indefinitely and may not be cancelled or
terminated except by a writing signed by Lender specifically referring
to this Section. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in
the Notes, this Agreement, or other Loan Documents evidencing or
securing the Obligations, the provisions of this Section will survive
the termination or expiration of the Obligations, the full repayment
of the Obligations, or the acquiring of title by Lender or its
respective successors and assigns by foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, and will be fully enforceable against
Borrower and its successors and assigns. The provisions of this
Section will constitute a separate undertaking by Borrower and will be
an inducement to Lender in extending the Loans evidencing the
Obligations to Borrower. The provisions of this Section will not be
subject to any anti-deficiency or similar laws.
11. Intentionally Omitted.
12. General.
12.1 Waiver. No delay or omission on the part of Lender to
exercise any right or power arising from any Event of
Default will impair any such right or power or be considered
a waiver of any such right or power or a waiver of any such
Event of Default or any acquiescence therein nor will the
action or nonaction of Lender
in case of such Event of Default impair any right or power arising as
a result thereof or affect any subsequent default or any other default
of the same or a different nature. No disbursement of Advances
hereunder will constitute a waiver of any of the conditions to
Lender's obligation to make further Advances; nor, in the event that
Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, will any such
Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring
such inability to be a Default or an Event of Default. No modification
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, will be
established by conduct, custom or course of dealing; and no
modification, waiver or consent will in any event be effective unless
the same is in writing and specifically refers to this Agreement, and
then such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand
on Borrower in any case will entitle Borrower to any other or further
notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance. The
liability of any Borrower will not be affected by any surrender,
exchange, acceptance, or release by Lender of any party or other
person or any other guarantee or any security held by it for any of
the Obligations or by Lender's failure to take any steps to perfect or
maintain its lien or security interest in or to preserve any of its
rights to, any guarantee, security or other collateral for any of the
Obligations, by any delay or omission in exercising any right, remedy
or power with respect to any of the Obligations or any guarantee or
collateral therefor, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or
invalidity of any of the Obligations or any security or guarantee
therefor. Lender at any time and from time to time, and without
impairing, releasing, discharging or modifying the liabilities of any
Borrower under a particular Non-Revolving Loan ("Subject Borrower"),
may, in accordance the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents: (a)
without the consent of or notice to any Borrower or Borrowers under
any other Non-Revolving Loan or Loans (collectively, "Other
Borrowers"), change the manner, amount, place or terms of payment or
performance of or interest rates on, or change or extend the time of
payment of, or other terms relating to the Obligations of the Subject
Borrower, (b) renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant
consents or waivers relating to, any of the Obligations of the Subject
Borrower without the consent of or notice to the Other Borrowers, (c)
renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or
waivers relating to, any guarantee or any security for any guarantee,
(d) apply any and all payments received by a Lender by whomever paid
or however realized, including any proceeds of any Collateral, to any
of the Obligations in such order, manner and amount as permitted by
this Agreement, (e) deal with any Person in respect of the Obligations
in such manner as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion
and/or (f) substitute any security or guarantee. Irrespective of the
taking or refraining from the taking of any such action, the
obligations of Borrower will remain in full force and effect. Lender
in its sole discretion may determine the reasonableness of the period
which may elapse prior to the making of demand for any payment upon
Borrower and need not pursue any remedy or remedies against Borrower,
any other Person or any Collateral before having recourse against
Borrower hereunder. Borrower subordinates until the prior payment in
full to Lender of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement or
indemnity whatsoever, and any and all right of recourse to security,
under or out of the property of Borrower or otherwise, for the
Obligations. No set-off, counterclaim, reduction, or diminution of any
obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature that Borrower has or
may have against any other Borrower will be available hereunder to any
Borrower against Lender until the Obligations have been paid in full.
12.2 Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and
other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in
writing and will be conclusively deemed to have been received by a
party hereto and to be effective if delivered personally to such
party, or sent by telex, telecopy (followed by written confirmation)

12.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and its respective successors
and assigns,
provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement in
whole or in part without the prior written consent of Lender.
12.4 Illegality. If fulfillment of any provision hereof or any transaction
related hereto or of any provision of any of the Loan Documents, at
the time performance of such provision is due, involves transcending
the limit of validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the
obligation to be fulfilled will be reduced to the limit of such
validity; and if any clause or provisions herein contained other than
the provisions hereof pertaining to repayment of the Obligations
operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement
in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only will be void,
as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement
will remain operative and in full force and effect; and if such
provision pertains to repayment of the Obligations, then, at the
option of Lender, all of the Obligations will become immediately due
and payable.
12.5 Gender, Etc. Whenever used herein, the singular number will include
the plural, the plural the singular and the use of the masculine,
feminine or neuter gender will include all genders.

chargeable for any negligence, mistake, act or omission of any
accountant, examiner, agent, Inspector, or attorney selected with
reasonable care and in the exercise of good faith by Lender in making
examinations, investigations or collections, or otherwise in
protecting or realizing upon any lien or security interest or any
other interest in the Collateral or other security for the
Obligations, unless Lender actually knows or, should, using reasonable
care, have known that such mistake, negligence, act or omission is
incorrect at the time committed. Lender makes no representations and
assumes no obligations as to Borrower or third parties concerning the
quality of the construction of the Project or the absence therefrom of
defects. In this connection Borrower agrees to and shall indemnify
Lender from any liability, claims or losses resulting from the
Advances or from the condition of the Project whether related to the
quality of construction or otherwise and whether arising during or
after the term of the Loans except and to the extent that such
construction was performed by, on behalf of, or at the direction of
Lender, its agents, or contractors. This provision shall survive the
repayment of the Obligations and shall continue in full force and
effect so long as the possibility of any such liability, claim or loss
exists. The relationship between Lender and Borrower is solely that of
a lender and borrower, and nothing contained herein or in any of the
Loan Documents shall in any manner be construed as making the parties
hereto principal, Lender, partners, joint venturers or any other
relationship other than lender and borrower.
12.8 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed will be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together will constitute one and the
same agreement.
12.9 Remedies Cumulative. No single or partial exercise of any right or
remedy by Lender will preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right or remedy. All remedies hereunder
and in any instrument or document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing
or relating to any Loan or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute are cumulative and none of them will be exclusive
of the others or any other remedy. All such rights and remedies may be
exercised separately, successively, concurrently, independently or
cumulatively from time to time and as often and in such order as
Lender may deem appropriate.
12.10 Costs, Expenses and Legal Fees. Borrower will be solely responsible
for all reasonable fees and expenses for appraisals, surveys, title
insurance, lien searches environmental reports, recording fees,
documentary taxes and similar items. Borrower agrees jointly and
severally to reimburse on demand Lender for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, due
diligence and reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys (which
attorneys may be Lender's employees and including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of Frost & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, special
counsel for Lender), and other advisors, expended or incurred in
amending, supplementing, waiving or enforcing provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; in administering, monitoring

out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such

responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or
the perfection, protection or preservation of rights and interests
hereunder or thereunder; in collecting any sum which is not paid when
due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; in negotiations
with respect to any Default or Event of Default or any restructuring
or "working out" the Loans; and/or in the protection, perfection,
preservation and enforcement of any and all rights of Lender in
connection with this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, the fees and costs incurred in any
out-of-court work-out, any litigation or in any bankruptcy or
reorganization proceeding or similar proceeding.
12.11 Indemnity. Borrower will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender,
its respective directors, officers, counsel and employees, from and
against all claims, demands, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages,
costs and expenses, joint or several (including all accounting fees
and Attorneys' Fees reasonably incurred), that any such indemnified
party may incur arising under or by reason of this
Agreement, any of the Loans, Loan Documents or Collateral, or any act
hereunder or thereunder or with respect hereto or thereto except the
willful misconduct or negligence of such indemnified party. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if,
after receipt by Lender of any payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, demand is made at any time upon Lender for the repayment
or recovery of any amount or amounts received by it in payment or on
account of the Obligations and Lender repays all or any part of such
amount or amounts by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative body, or by reason of any settlement or
compromise of any such demand, this Agreement will continue in full
force and effect and Borrower will be liable, and will indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Lender for the amount or amounts so repaid.
The provisions of this Section will be and remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by
Borrower in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action
so taken will be without prejudice to Lender's rights under this
Agreement and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such
payment having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this
Section will survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.12 Continuing Agreement. This Agreement is and is intended to be a
continuing Agreement and will remain in full force and effect until
the Obligations are finally and irrevocably paid in full and the Notes
and Total Commitment are terminated.

schedules hereto, the other Loan Documents and related documents to be

regarding the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes any
prior or written agreements or understandings regarding such subject
matter.

intended or will be construed to confer upon or give any person, firm
or corporation, other than the parties hereto, any right to remedy
hereunder or by reasons hereof.
12.15 No Partnership or Joint Venture. Nothing contained herein or in any of
the agreements or transactions contemplated hereby is intended or will
be constructed to create any relationship other than as expressly
stated herein or therein and will not create any joint venture,
partnership or other relationship.
12.16 Confidentiality. Lender will take all steps reasonably appropriate to
keep all information delivered to them by Borrower hereunder
confidential - except for disclosures: (i) required by any court
order, law, rule or regulation or (ii) to their accountants and
attorneys.

same as the following: "Key Corporate Capital Inc., and its respective
successors and assigns."

coverage for voidable transactions under bankruptcy, fraudulent
conveyance or other debtor protection laws or equitable principles
must be removed by either an endorsement or a written waiver.
Arbitration. In the event that the form Policy which is utilized includes a
compulsory arbitration provision, the insurer must agree that such
compulsory arbitration provisions do not apply to any claims by or on
behalf of the insured. Please note that the 1987 and 1990 ALTA form
loan policies include such provisions.

the Property, and (ii) the legal description contained in the Mortgage.
In any event, the Policy must be endorsed to provide that the insured
legal description is the same as that shown on the survey.
Easements. Each Policy shall insure, as separate parcels: (a) all appurtenant
easements and other estates benefiting the property, and (b) all other

With respect to the "standard" exceptions (such as for parties in
possession or other matters not shown on public records), such
exceptions must be deleted.
With respect to the "standard" exception regarding tenants in
possession under residential leases, such exception should
also be deleted. In the alternative, the exception should read

portion of the property."
The standard survey exception to the Policy must be deleted.
Instead, a survey reading reflecting the current survey should

expressly insure that such taxes, assessments or other items
are not yet due and payable.
Any lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction or easement of
record must be listed in the Policy, and the Policy must
affirmatively insure that the improvements do not encroach
upon the listed easements or insure against all loss or damage
due to such encroachment.
The Policy may not contain any exception for any filed or unfiled
mechanics' or materialmen's liens.
In the event that a comprehensive endorsement has been issued and
any Schedule B exceptions continue to be excluded from the
coverage provided through that endorsement, then a

acceptable to Agent. In the event that it is determined that
such exception is
acceptable, a written explanation regarding the acceptability
must be submitted as part of the delivery of the loan
documents.
If Schedule B indicates the presence of any easements that are
not located on the survey, the Policy must provide affirmative
insurance against any loss resulting from the exercise by the
holder of such easement of its right to use or maintain that
easement. CLTA Form 103.1 or an equivalent endorsement is
required for this purpose.

could arise must also be referenced.
