the Hard Costs and Soft Costs incurred by Borrower through the end of the period

---
(b) the total of the Loan advances theretofore made;
and, at the election of Lender, less any combination of the following further

amounts:

Draw Request for

which proof of payment has not been received by Lender, and any Hard Costs

received by Lender.
2.2 Hard Costs are to be certified by the General Contractor. Verification

by Borrower shall be subject to the reasonable approval and verification by
Lender. Lender reserves the right to utilize its own in-house engineers,
architects and inspectors for purposes of such inspections, verifications and
approvals, and to engage the services of independent contractors, engineers,
architects or inspectors where Lender so desires, and Borrower agrees to assume
and pay all costs, including, without limitation, fees and travel expenses,
associated with each engineer, architect, contractor and inspector, in-house and

2.3 All advances to Borrower are to be made at Lender's principal office
or at such other place as Lender may designate and shall be deposited in the

least five (5) business days prior to the date of the requested advance. Lender

Lender shall reallocate such savings to the General Contingency line item.

credit shall effect a reduction, by the amount and during the existence thereof,

ARTICLE IV
General Conditions
------------------
6.1 The following conditions shall be applicable at all times during the
term of the Loan:
(a) Any advance by Lender of Loan proceeds hereunder made prior to or
without the fulfillment by Borrower of all the conditions precedent thereto,
whether or not known to Lender, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of the
requirement that all conditions, including the non-performed conditions, shall
be required with respect to all future advances;
(b) All documentation and proceedings deemed by Lender to be necessary
or required in connection with this Agreement and the documents relating hereto
shall be subject to the prior approval of, and satisfactory to, Lender as to
form and substance. In addition, the persons or parties responsible for the
execution and delivery of, and signatories to, all of such documentation, shall
be acceptable to, and subject to the approval of, Lender;
(c) If at any time Lender notifies Borrower that, in Lender's reasonable
judgment, the undisbursed balance of the Loan (including contingency) is
insufficient to pay the remaining Hard Costs and Soft Costs, Borrower shall
either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such deficiency which Lender
may from time to time apply, or allow Borrower to apply, to such Hard Costs and
Soft Costs; (ii) pay for such Hard Costs and Soft Costs in the amount of such
deficiency so that the amount of the Loan which remains to be disbursed shall be
sufficient to complete the Improvements, and Borrower shall furnish Lender with
such evidence thereof as Lender shall require. Borrower hereby agrees that
Lender shall have a lien on and security interest in any sums deposited pursuant
to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such
sums except for the payment of the aforesaid Hard Costs and Soft Costs as
approved by Lender. Any such sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall
be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Lender determines that the
amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the total remaining Hard
Costs and Soft Costs of completion of the Improvements over the undisbursed
balance of the Loan; provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur
under the Note or Mortgage, Lender may, at its option, apply such amounts either
to the costs of completion of the Improvements or to the immediate reduction of
outstanding principal and/or interest under the Note;
(d) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Note or
Mortgage, Borrower does hereby irrevocably authorize Lender to advance any
undisbursed Loan proceeds directly to the General Contractor, Subcontractors and
other persons to pay for completion of the Improvements but Lender is under no
obligation to do so. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall
be necessary to warrant such direct advances and all such advances shall satisfy
pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder
--- -----
15
and shall be secured by the Mortgage as fully as if made to Borrower regardless
of the disposition thereof by the General Contractor, any Subcontractor or other
person;
(e) All conditions of the obligation of Lender to make advances hereunder
are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and may be freely
waived or modified in whole or in part by Lender at any time if in its sole
discretion it deems it advisable to do so, and no person other than Borrower
(provided, however, that all conditions have been satisfied) shall have standing
to require Lender to make any Loan advances or to be a beneficiary of this
Agreement or any advances to be made hereunder. Any waiver or modification
asserted by Borrower to have been agreed to by Lender must be in writing and
comply with the provisions of subsection (h) of this Section;
(f) Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse proceeds of
the Loan to pay; (i) interest accrued on the Notes as it comes due; (ii) any and
all commitment or loan fees; (iii) travel and inspection fees of Lender; (iv)
fees and expense of Lender's counsel; and (v) to satisfy any of the conditions
of this Agreement; notwithstanding that Borrower may not have requested
disbursement of such amounts and whether or not Borrower may be in default under
the Note or Mortgage. Any such disbursements shall be added to the outstanding
principal balance of the Note and shall be secured by the Mortgage. The
authorization granted hereby shall not prevent Borrower from paying interest, or
satisfying said conditions, from its own funds and shall in no event be
construed so as to relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay interest as and
when due under the Note, or to satisfy said conditions, or to obligate Lender to
disburse Loan proceeds for the payment of interest or the satisfaction of said
conditions;
(g) All notices to be given hereunder shall be sufficient if given in
accordance with the provisions contained in Section 23 of the Mortgage;
(h) No provisions of the Note, Mortgage, UCC-1 Financing Statements,
Guaranty or this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated
orally, by telephone or by any other means except an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought;
(i) Except as herein provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be
withheld in Lender's sole discretion, may not assign, transfer or set over to
another, in whole or in part, all or any part of its benefits, rights, duties
and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, performance of and
compliance with conditions hereof and the right to receive the proceeds of
current or future advances; and
(j) Borrower acknowledges that Borrower has selected or will select all
architects , engineers, contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, and other
furnishing services or materials for the Improvements and the Lender shall have
no responsibility whatsoever for them or for any inspection reports or for the
quality of their materials or
16
workmanship. It is understood that Lender's sole function is that of lender
and that the only consideration passing from Lender to Borrower are the Loan
proceeds in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Borrower shall have no right to rely on any procedures required by Lender
herein, such procedures begin solely for the benefit and protection of
Lender.
6.2 The cover page and the Exhibits annexed hereto are incorporated as a
part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
