INC., a Delaware corporation (the "LENDER").
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
A. Borrower and Lender have entered into that certain Lease

Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Bristol, Commonwealth
of Virginia, in Book 279, Page 607, as amended by that certain First
Amendment of Lease dated as of the date hereof, by and between Borrower
and Lender (such lease as so amended is herein referred to as the
"LEASE").
B. Pursuant to the Lease, Borrower is to construct a ▇.▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ store including, but not limited to, the shell and core thereof and
all building, mechanical, electrical and other operating systems (herein
referred to as the "IMPROVEMENTS") as described and identified in the
Lease and in the "Plans and Specifications" (as such term is hereinafter
defined) on real property (the "LAND") owned by Borrower and leased to
Lender pursuant to the Lease and located in the City of Bristol,
Commonwealth of Virginia, as described in EXHIBIT A (collectively, the
"PROJECT"). Lender has agreed to make a construction loan to Borrower for
certain hard costs in excess of $1,000,000 for preparing the site and
constructing the Improvements, which construction loan shall not exceed
the maximum principal amount of Five Million One Hundred Sixty-Five
Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($5,165,200.00) (the "MAXIMUM LOAN Amount"),
subject to adjustment as provided herein (the "LOAN"), which Loan shall be
subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.
C. The Improvements are described in those certain final
working drawings and specification described in EXHIBIT J attached hereto
(the "PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS") agreed to by Borrower and Lender pursuant
to the Lease.
D. Borrower is executing a promissory note in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT B, which provides for interest to accrue at the
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the "NOTE") payable to Lender

hereto as EXHIBIT D (the "ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES"), an Assignment of
Construction Contracts and Warranties covering all contracts for the
designing, planning and construction of the Improvements, including all
agreements with architects and all construction warranties assigned to
Borrower, in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT F (the "ASSIGNMENT OF
CONSTRUCTION Documents"), and such other documents as Lender reasonably
deems necessary. In this Agreement, the term "PROPERTY" refers to all or
any part of the real and personal property described in the Deed of Trust,
including any direct or indirect interest in all or any part of it, as the
context may require.
E. Concurrently herewith, Borrower and Lender are entering

Improvements are a part.
F. This Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust, the UCC-1
Financing Statement, the Assignment of Leases, and the Assignment of
Construction Documents, together with all of their exhibits, and all other
documents which are executed by Borrower and otherwise evidence or secure
the Loan, as the same may hereafter be amended, modified or renewed,
collectively constitute the "LOAN DOCUMENTS."
Therefore, in consideration of the Loan being made by Lender to

reimburse Lender with respect to Lender's Contribution or any interest
thereon, and provided further that if Lender fails to disburse any portion

to and not in lieu of its rights and remedies hereunder and at law and in
equity, the rights and remedies of the landlord under the Lease in the
event
of a default thereunder. Lender's Contribution shall be in addition to,
and not in lieu of, the payment obligations of the tenant under the Lease
in the event the tenant under the Lease changes plans or specifications,

thereto or the structural condition of such mall building; and
(f) Any amounts above the sum of the amounts set forth

obligation to close the Loan, Borrower shall have, on or before September
30, 1996, delivered to Lender the following documents (the "CLOSING
DOCUMENTS"), all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Lender; provided, however, that such reasonability standard
shall not be construed so as to modify a requirement expressly provided
for in this Section 1.4:
(a) an opinion of Borrower's counsel in a form
reasonably acceptable to Lender, evidencing that (i) Borrower is duly
formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Illinois, and

party which limits Borrower's authority to act), or the respective
partnership agreements of General Partner and Bristol Partners, a general
partner of Borrower, and, to the actual knowledge of such counsel (based

connection therewith) and construction of the Improvements relating to

Borrower will have enough funds in the Budget to complete the remaining
Improvements (excluding the portions of the remaining Improvements
relating to soft costs and other line items not included in the Budget),
or if the budgeted funds are not adequate, Lender shall have approved a
modification of the Budget to eliminate such inadequacy, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld (but this shall not be construed to
require Lender to approve items not included in Borrower's Costs or to
increase the Maximum Loan Amount); and
e. Borrower has delivered to Lender an update of
title acceptable to Lender followed by a down date endorsement to the
Title Policy evidencing the total amount of the Loan proceeds disbursed to

f. Borrower has delivered to Lender a Certificate

warranties contained in the article of the Lease captioned "OTHER
TENANCIES" shall be rendered inaccurate thereby), neither the Lease nor
any of the Other Leases (but this shall apply to the Other Leases only if
the representations and warranties contained in the article of the Lease
captioned "OTHER TENANCIES" shall be rendered inaccurate thereby) have
been modified or terminated and Borrower has not received or sent notice
of an intent to terminate the Lease or any of the Other Leases, and that
all the covenants, representations and warranties made by Borrower to
Lender under Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof are true and correct and have been

hereof); and
h. Lender shall have received a certificate from
Borrower's Architect in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT O stating that
the work for which payment is sought has been substantially completed and

3. FINAL DISBURSEMENT. The final disbursement of
proceeds under the Loan and all sums retained pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof shall not become due until Borrower submits to Lender the following
items:
a. a certificate signed by Borrower's Architect
for the Project in the form set forth in EXHIBIT O (except that such
certificate will state that the Project is completed in accordance with
the Plans and Specifications and that final payment is due);
b. an affidavit from General Contractor together
with receipts and such releases and waivers of lien as Lender may require,
evidencing the fact that all contractors, subcontractors and other parties
supplying labor or materials for the Project have been paid in full, and
that all other indebtedness connected with the construction of the Project
by General Contractor for which Borrower might be responsible, or for
which the Project might in any way be subject to a lien, has been paid or
otherwise satisfied;
c. evidence that all sureties (if any) on the
Property have consented to final payment;
d. a certificate of occupancy for the Property
(unless the failure to issue a certificate of occupancy is attributable to
work required to be performed by the tenant under the Lease);
e. all original warranties for the work performed
and materials used to construct the Property; and
f. evidence that the statutory period for
mechanics' and materialmen's liens to attach has expired or evidence from
the title company that issued the Title Policy will insure against future
mechanics' and materialmen's liens resulting from the construction of the
Project.
F. DRAW REQUESTS. Before Lender becomes obligated to make
any disbursement, it must receive a written request signed by Borrower
using the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT Q ("DRAW REQUEST"), which Draw
Request shall be sent to Lender at the address set forth in Section 8.3
hereof, accompanied by such documentation and information set forth in
Sections 2.1(a) and (b) above, and Section 2.1(c) in the case of the final
disbursement, or as otherwise requested by Lender. All such documentation
and information must be acceptable in form and substance to Lender in the
exercise of its reasonable judgment. In the event the Draw Request is so
approved, Lender shall disburse directly to Borrower (or directly to
General Contractor if Borrower so requests) such Loan funds equal to (a)
the sum due pursuant to the Draw Request, to the extent that such sum is
in the Budget (or a modification thereof which is approved in writing by
Lender, in accordance with the reasonability standard set forth above),
less (b) ten percent (10%) thereof to be retained by Lender until final
payment shall be due and owing, provided, however, that subsequent to
completion of fifty percent (50%) of the value of the Improvements, if in
Lender's and Borrower's judgement, the Improvements are satisfactorily
progressing and such progress continues, the future retainage shall be
reduced to five percent (5%); provided, however that if at any time
thereafter, in Lender's reasonable judgment, the Improvements are no
longer satisfactorily progressing, the retainage will, from and after the
next disbursement after notice thereof from Lender setting forth the
reasons for its determination, unless satisfactory progress is
subsequently restored, be ten percent (10%); provided, however, that if a
Draw Request shall have been submitted prior to Borrower's receipt of such
notice, then the increase in retainage will be postponed until the
following disbursement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
disbursement would cause the total amount disbursed under the Loan,
including accrued interest thereon, to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount,
Lender shall only disburse such amount that, when added to the total
amount of the Loan previously disbursed and all interest accrued but
unpaid, will increase the Loan balance to equal the Maximum Loan Amount.
Despite any other provisions of this or any other Loan Documents, Borrower
may submit Draw Requests to Lender no more frequently than once each
month, unless Lender has given its prior written consent in each instance.
G. NO WAIVER OF CONDITIONS. Any waiver by Lender of a
condition of disbursement must be expressly made by Lender in writing.
Any such waiver shall not constitute a waiver with respect to (a) any
other condition of that disbursement or (b) any condition with respect to
any subsequent Draw Request. If Lender makes a disbursement before
fulfillment of one or more required conditions, such disbursement shall
not be a waiver of such disbursement conditions, and Lender reserves the
right to require their fulfillment before making any subsequent
disbursements. If all disbursement conditions are not satisfied, Lender,
without waiving any rights or conditions as to any other or further
disbursements, may, in its sole and absolute discretion, disburse
selectively as to certain items or categories of costs and not others.
H. MAXIMUM LOAN AMOUNT. The Lender shall have no obligation
to advance to Borrower pursuant to the Loan any sum in excess of the
"MAXIMUM LOAN AMOUNT".
I. COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER. Borrower promises to keep and
perform each of the covenants set forth below.
A. COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION. Borrower
shall commence on-site physical construction of the Improvements within or
by the date for the commencement of construction as established pursuant
to Paragraph B.VIII (p.13) of the article of the Lease captioned
"IMPROVEMENTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY LANDLORD" and shall diligently continue
construction to completion, all in accordance with the schedule
("COMPLETION SCHEDULE") set forth in such Paragraph B.VIII. Borrower will
cause to be prepared and sent to Lender, within sixty (60) days after
completion of all construction, "as built" plans with respect to such
construction and an "as built" survey showing the Land and all
Improvements thereon and otherwise complying with the provisions of
Section 1.4(g) hereof.
B. REQUIREMENTS. Borrower shall construct the Improvements
in accordance with Paragraphs B.II and B.III (pp. 11-12) of the article of
the Lease captioned "IMPROVEMENTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED BY LANDLORD".
C. CHANGES.
(a) Borrower may make any reasonable changes necessary to
the Plans and Specifications that are not material in nature and do not
conflict with "Tenant's Preliminary Plans and Specifications" (as defined

provided that Borrower first obtains the prior written approval of such
changes from the tenant under the Lease (to the extent required by the
Lease).

MATERIALS.

security interest in all of the Plans and Specifications, the Construction
Contract, and all changes thereto (regardless of whether so approved) as
collateral for the Loan and agrees that the Plans and Specifications, the
Construction Contract, and all such changes are covered by the security
agreement provisions of the Deed of Trust. To the extent assignable,

Claims and to have its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in
connection therewith paid by Borrower, or be defended by Borrower from and
against any Environmental Claims.
E. REMEDIAL ACTIONS. Without first notifying Lender in
writing, Borrower shall not take any remedial action in response to the
presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Property if,
in Lender's judgment, the remedial action is likely to impair the value of
Lender's security under the Deed of Trust. In the case of a remedial
action that, in Lender's judgement, is likely to impair the value of
Lender's security under the Deed of Trust, Lender's prior consent shall be
required but shall not be withheld if, upon the advice of professionals
who are duly qualified and trained to make such judgments, there is no
reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result in less
impairment of Lender's security under the Deed of Trust, but only if and
to the extent that remediation is required to be performed by the
Environmental Protection Agency or another governmental agency with
jurisdiction over environmental matters relating to the Property. Lender
shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower, at no cost or expense to Lender,
in connection with any remedial action required by any applicable
governmental authority. If Lender has possession of the Land, such
cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to the Land so that
Borrower may, without additional delay or cost, undertake and complete the
remedial action and obtain confirmation of the same from the applicable
governmental authority; provided, however, that Borrower's written request
for such access shall specify the precise nature of the remedial action
required and Borrower shall upon request provide such funds or other
security or assurances as Lender reasonably deems appropriate to protect
Lender from any cost or expense and to protect the Land and Improvements
from loss or damage in connection with the remedial action.
F. INDEMNITY. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and defend
Lender and hold Lender(in its capacity as Lender but not in its capacity
as tenant under the Lease), its directors, officers, employees, agents,
shareholders, successors and assigns, and the trustee(s) under the Deed of
Trust, harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, actual
damages (including consequential damages), liabilities, fines, penalties,
charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, liens,
judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind,
and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), arising in whole or in part from
any Environmental Claims or from:
1. the presence on, under or about the Land of any
Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous
Materials on, under or from the Land;
2. any required or necessary repair, cleanup or
detoxification of the Land, including any remediation contemplated under
Section 6.5 above, and the preparation and implementation of any closure,
remedial or other required plans;
3. compliance with the requirements of any
Environmental Laws in connection with any sale, transfer, closure or
termination of operations with respect to the Land, including any of the
same in connection with any foreclosure action or deed in lieu thereof; or
4. any activity carried on or undertaken on the Land
prior to or during the term of the Loan, by Borrower or any predecessor in
title or any tenants, employees, agents or contractors of Borrower or any
predecessor in title or any third persons at any time occupying or present
on the Land lawfully and with the permission of Borrower or any
predecessor in title, other than Lender and any Permitted Occupant
(defined below), in connection with the handling, treatment, removal,
storage, decontamination, cleanup, transport or disposal of any Hazardous
Materials at any time located or present on, under or about the Land.
Neither this indemnity nor any of Borrower's other obligations under this
Section 6 shall apply with respect to any of the foregoing matters to the
extent that (i) the release or discharge of the Hazardous Material giving
rise to such foregoing matter first occurs after the earlier to occur of
full repayment of the Loan and the compliance with all of Borrower's other
obligations under all of the Loan Documents or the release of the Deed of
Trust, or (ii) such matter arises from the negligence, willful misconduct
or other acts or omissions of Lender or the tenant under the Lease or
their respective contractors, agents, employees, subtenants or
concessionaires (collectively, the "PERMITTED OCCUPANTS"), excepting such
matters to the extent arising from or as a result of any act or omission
or negligence of Borrower or its agents, contractors, servants or
employees.
G. SECURITY AND SURVIVAL. The indemnity set forth in this
Article is included in the Loan and is secured by the Deed of Trust and
all other Loan Documents securing the Loan from time to time. This
indemnity shall survive the repayment of the Loan and the satisfaction or
reconveyance of the Deed of Trust, or the transfer of title to the Land
through foreclosure sale or trustee's sale or pursuant to a deed in lieu
thereof.

failure cannot be cured during the initial thirty (30) day period, and if
Borrower commences to cure such failure within said thirty (30) day period

10. Without Lender's prior written consent, Borrower
creates, places, permits to be created or placed, or through any act or
failure to act voluntarily acquiesces in the placing of, or allows to

(whether statutory, constitutional or contractual), encumbrance or charge,

Documents but subject to Borrower's contest rights if and to the extent
provided for in this Agreement; or
11. Without Lender's prior written consent, Borrower
shall dissolve or liquidate, or the partnership interest in Borrower of
any partner of Borrower shall be sold, assigned or transferred,
voluntarily or involuntarily, to a party other than the other current

12. Borrower sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of

of the Other Leases (but this shall apply to the Other Leases only if the
representations and warranties contained in the article of the Lease
captioned "OTHER TENANCIES" shall be rendered inaccurate thereby), a
default (taking into account applicable notice and cure periods) by
Borrower occurs; or
18. Borrower fails to pursue construction diligently and
such failure would permit the tenant under the Lease to terminate the

"Improvements to be Constructed by Landlord"; or
19. Any construction of the Improvements or materials,
articles or fixtures used in connection therewith be not in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications, or Borrower amends or modifies the

forth in (e) above, subject to the extension provided for therein; or
20. Borrower is unable or fails to satisfy any condition
of Borrower's right to receive disbursements hereunder for a period in
excess of one hundred twenty (120) days after Lender's refusal to make any

B. EXCUSED DEFAULTS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event
Borrower is unable to perform any obligation set forth in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document (other than the payment of amounts due to
Lender under the Loan Documents) by reason of circumstances which are
caused by Lender's failure to perform the tenant's obligations under the
Lease, such failure by Borrower shall not be deemed to be an Event of
Default hereunder or under any other Loan Document until such time as
Lender has performed such obligations under the Lease and Borrower, within
thirty (30) days thereafter, fails to commence to perform its obligations
under the Loan Documents or thereafter fails to diligently proceed to
perform such obligations.
C. REMEDIES.
1. If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement,
Lender may exercise any right or remedy which it has under any of the Loan
Documents, or which is otherwise available at law or in equity or by
statute, and all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative,
except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If any Event of Default
occurs, Lender's obligation to lend funds under the Loan Documents shall
immediately terminate, and Lender in its sole discretion may withhold any
one or more disbursements. No disbursement of Loan funds by Lender shall
cure any default of Borrower, unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing in
each instance. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, all of
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents may, at Lender's option at
any time, become immediately due and payable without notice of default,
presentment or demand for payment, notice of acceleration or of intent to
accelerate, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices
or demands of any kind or character, all at Lender's option, exercisable
in its sole discretion.
2. Upon the maturity of the Loan, whether at the stated
maturity date or through acceleration by Lender for an Event of Default,
Lender shall have the right to foreclose the Deed of Trust and cause the
sale of the Property as set forth in the Loan Documents and to pursue all
other remedies provided therein or under applicable law. All such rights
and remedies are and shall be separate, distinct and cumulative, and no
single, partial or full exercise of any right or remedy shall exhaust the
same or preclude Lender from thereafter exercising in full or in part the
same right or remedy or from concurrently or thereafter exercising any
other right or remedy available to Lender, at law or in equity, and each
and every such right and remedy may be exercised at any time or from time
to time, unless otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in the Loan
Documents. In no event shall any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document be construed to permit "tacked" or cumulative grace or cure
periods for the benefit of Borrower. No waiver by Lender of any such
default or Event of Default, nor of any term or condition in any Loan
Document, shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default or Event of
Default of the same or any other kind nor a waiver of any other term or
condition in any Loan Document. No such waiver shall be effective or
deemed to exist unless evidenced by a writing duly executed by Lender, and
then only to the extent expressly stated in such writing.
3. During the continuation of any Event of Default that
exists prior to the completion of the Project, Lender shall have the right
(in addition to any other rights or remedies provided in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document), with or without the appointment of a receiver,
to take over Borrower's obligations under the Construction Contract, to
enter into possession of the Project, to perform any and all work and
labor necessary to complete the Improvements, and/or to employ watchmen to
protect the Project and all materials and supplies therefor. All sums
expended by Lender for such purposes shall be included in the Loan, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Note, shall be payable
ten (10) days after demand therefor, and shall be secured by the Loan
Documents. Lender shall advise Borrower of the amount so expended by
Lender, together with reasonably detailed evidence of the amount and
purpose of the expenditure. Additionally, Lender shall have the right to
make advances directly to subcontractors and contractors, and the
execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall and hereby does constitute
an irrevocable direction and authorization to do so and advance the funds.
Such advances shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and all other liens
and security interests securing the Loan, as fully as if made to Borrower,
regardless of the disposition thereof by such contractors and
subcontractors. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender as its
true and lawful attorney in fact, with special powers to complete the
Improvements in Borrower's name, place and stead, such special powers to
be as follows: (a) to use for completion of the Improvements any casualty
or condemnation proceeds held by Lender; (b) to make all such changes,
additions or corrections in the Plans and Specifications, which Lender
shall deem necessary or desirable, in its sole discretion, for the
completion of the Improvements; (c) to employ such contractors,
subcontractors, agents, supervisors, managers, inspectors, architects and
other persons required for such completion, in Lender's exclusive
judgment, even if such persons may be otherwise related to Lender; (d)
provided that Borrower is released from any claim against Borrower by a
third party with which Lender is settling pursuant to this subsection (d),
to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or
may become liens against all or any part of the Property or which Lender
may determine in its sole discretion to pay, settle or compromise to
facilitate the completion of the Property or the clearance of title; (e)
to execute all applications, certificates and other writings which may be
required by any construction contract or other contract or governmental
authority; (f) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in
connection with the Property, and to take such actions and require such
performances as Lender may deem necessary in its sole discretion; and (g)
to do any and every act with respect to the construction and leasing of
the Improvements which Borrower could do on Borrower's own behalf.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.3(c)
or otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have no rights
to perform any of such acts in Borrower's name or as Borrower's attorney
in fact unless each and every party with whom Lender deals in connection
with the exercise of its rights or the performance of such acts agrees in
writing that Borrower's liability is limited as set forth in Section 8.14
hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing agreement in writing shall
not be required with respect to work performed by Lender or any other
exercise by Lender of its rights under this Section 7.3(c) to the extent
that Borrower shall not be obligated thereby to a third party.
VI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
A. NO WAIVER; CONSENTS. Each waiver by Lender must be in
writing and signed by Lender, and no waiver shall be construed as a
continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from Lender's delay in
exercising or failure to exercise any right or remedy against Borrower or
any security, whether on account of any default of Borrower or otherwise.
Consent by Lender to any act or omission by Borrower shall not be
construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or as a
waiver of the requirement for Lender's consent to be obtained in any
future or other instance.
B. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF LENDER APPROVAL. Lender's approval
of any matter in connection with the Loan shall be for the sole purpose of
protecting Lender's security and rights. No such approval shall result in
a waiver of any default or Event of Default of Borrower. In no event
shall Lender's approval be a representation of any kind with regard to the
matter being approved.
C. NOTICES. All notices given under this Agreement must be
in writing and shall be effectively served upon delivery, or if mailed,
upon the first to occur of receipt or the expiration of three (3) days
after deposit in certified United States mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, sent to the party at its address appearing below its
signature or, in the case of a Draw Request, sent to Lender at the
following address:
▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇'▇▇▇▇▇
▇. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Company, Inc.
▇.▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇
Those addresses may be changed by either party by ten (10) days' written
notice to the other party.
D. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any lawsuit is commenced which arises
out of or relates to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Loan, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from each other party such
sums as the court or referee may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys' fees
in the action, in addition to costs and expenses otherwise allowed by law.
Additionally, Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in any effort to enforce any of the obligations under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to
reasonable legal fees and disbursements, whether or not any lawsuit is
filed.
E. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by
Virginia law, without regard to any choice of law rules.
F. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Lender may not assign this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Borrower except to a
Related Corporation (as that term is defined in the Lease) or to a
successor corporation by reason of merger, consolidation or sale of
substantially all of Lender's assets. Borrower may not assign this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender. Subject to the
foregoing, the terms of this Agreement shall bind and benefit the heirs,
legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties.
G. FORCE MAJEURE. If the work of construction is directly
affected and delayed by an Unavoidable Delay, as that term is defined in
the Lease, Borrower must notify Lender in writing within ten (10) business
days after the event occurs which causes the delay. So long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and such notice is given in a
timely manner, Lender shall extend by a period of time equal to the period
of the delay only those time periods stated in the Completion Schedule for
completing construction which are directly affected and delayed by the
event. No such extension shall affect the time for performance of, or
otherwise modify, any of Borrower's other obligations under the Loan
Documents or the maturity of the Note.
H. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
one or more provisions of this Agreement shall in no way affect any other
provision.
I. INTERPRETATION. Whenever the context requires, all words
used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the plural,
and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The
captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and do
not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word "include(s)" means
"include(s), without limitation," and the word "including" means
"including, but not limited to." Time is of the essence in the
performance of this Agreement by Borrower. The exhibits to this Agreement
are hereby incorporated in this Agreement.
J. AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may not be modified or amended
except by a written agreement signed by the parties.
K. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any attached consents or
exhibits requiring signatures may be executed in counterparts, and all
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same document.
L. LANGUAGE OF AGREEMENT. The language of this Agreement
shall be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and not
strictly for or against any party.
M. INTEGRATION OF DOCUMENTS. The Loan Documents integrate
all the terms and conditions mentioned in or incidental to this Agreement,
supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect to their
subject matter, and are intended by the parties as the final expression of
the agreement with respect to the terms and conditions set forth in those
documents and as the complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed
to by the parties. No representation, understanding, promise or condition
shall be enforceable against any party unless it is contained in the Loan
Documents or the Lease. If there is any conflict between the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Agreement and those of any other
agreement or instrument other than the Lease, including any other Loan
Document, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
prevail.
N. NON RECOURSE.
1. Prior to Completion (as defined below), paragraph
(b) of this Section 8.14 shall be applicable. From and after Completion,
paragraph (c) of this Section 8.14 shall be applicable. "Completion" shall
mean completion of the Improvements by Borrower and delivery of possession
thereof to Lender as tenant under the Lease, except for punch list items
(if any) which will cost no more than $50,000 to complete, as certified in
writing by Borrower's Architect.
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the only entities with financial
or any other obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
at law or in equity, are Borrower and General Partner, and Lender agrees
to look solely to the assets of Borrower and General Partner (including
but not limited to (i) the Escrow Amount [as defined in Section 8.15(a)
hereof], (ii) Borrower's interest in the Property, (iii) the proceeds of
sale receivable from any execution of any judgments against Borrower's
interest in the Property and/or General Partner's interest in any of its
assets, (iv) any consideration receivable by Borrower and/or General
Partner from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of its
right, title and interest in the Property or any of its assets, and (v)
rents and other income from the Property and other assets receivable by
Borrower and/or General Partner) to satisfy any claims under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, at law or in equity. No present or
future direct or indirect constituent partner (other than General Partner)
in or agent of Borrower or General Partner (an "OTHER PARTNER") nor any
present or future advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee,
beneficiary, shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any
corporation or trust that is or becomes an Other Partner (including, but
not limited to JMB Realty Corporation, ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇),
shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
instrument or certificate securing or otherwise executed in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any amendment or
amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore
or hereafter. Lender and its successors and assigns and, without
limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to the
assets of Borrower and General Partner for the payment of any claim or for
any performance under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, each of the following shall not for any purpose
be deemed to be an asset or the property of Borrower or General Partner
(or any Other Partner): (i) any negative capital account of any
partnership and (ii) any obligation to restore a negative capital account
of, or to contribute capital to, any partnership. The foregoing
limitations are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other
limitation on liability contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document or provided by law.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, neither Borrower nor any Other
Partner, nor any shareholder, officer, director, employee, trustee,
beneficiary or agent of any entity that is or becomes an Other Partner
(including, but not limited to JMB Realty Corporation, ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and
▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇), shall be personally liable, directly or indirectly, under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
instrument or certificate securing or otherwise executed in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any amendments or
modifications to any of the foregoing made at any time or times,
heretofore or hereafter. The recourse of the Lender and each of its
successors and assignees under or in connection with this Agreement, any
other Loan Document and such instruments and certificates, and any such
amendments or modifications, shall be limited only to (i) Borrower's
interest in the Property, (ii) the proceeds of sale receivable from any
execution of any judgments against Borrower's interest in the Property,
(iii) any consideration receivable by Borrower from the sale or other
disposition of all or any part of Borrower's right, title and interest in
the Property, and (iv) rents and other income from the Property receivable
by Borrower, and no other assets or property of Borrower shall be subject
to levy, execution or other procedures for the satisfaction of Lender's
remedies.
(d) The provisions of this Section 8.14 shall not be
deemed to deny to Lender, or limit its right to obtain, injunctive relief
or specific performance of Borrower's covenants or obligations under this
Agreement or to avail itself of any other right or remedy (not involving
personal liability of Borrower in excess of the limits of personal
liability fixed by the terms set forth in this Section) which may be
accorded Lender by law or under the terms of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents by reason of Borrower's failure to perform its obligations
thereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 8.14, Borrower and General Partner shall be fully liable
to Lender to the same extent that they would be liable absent the
foregoing provisions of this Section for: (i) fraud or wilful
misrepresentations of Borrower or General Partner and (ii) the fraudulent
misapplication by Borrower or General Partner of either (x) any sums
advanced under the Loan, (y) any proceeds paid under any insurance
policies by reason of damage, loss or destruction to any portion of the
Property, or (z) any proceeds or awards resulting from the condemnation or
taking for public or private use of all or any part of the Property.
(f) This provision shall have no effect on the provision
of the Lease captioned "Limitation of Landlord's Liability" and the
tenant's rights under the Lease with respect thereto.
O. ESCROW AGREEMENT.
1. Prior to the first advancement of funds by Lender
under the Loan, Lender and Borrower shall enter into an escrow agreement
(the "ESCROW AGREEMENT") in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section. The escrowee ("ESCROWEE") shall be Chicago Title
Insurance Company or another mutually satisfactory institutional third
party escrow holder. Borrower shall deposit into the escrow (the
"ESCROW") the amount of $1,000,000.00. Such amount, as it may be reduced
from time to time as set forth below, is called the "ESCROW AMOUNT". Such
amount was calculated by adding $732,600.00 to the $267,400.00
("BORROWER'S CONTRIBUTION") to be paid by Borrower pursuant to Section
1.3(c). The Escrow Amount shall be placed in an interest bearing account
or otherwise invested pursuant to instructions to be given to Escrowee by
Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender (but the Escrow Agreement
shall contain, if Borrower so elects, a list of mutually satisfactory
permissible investments which may be made from time to time without
additional consent from Lender), with interest accruing to Borrower.
2. The Escrow Amount shall be reduced by payment to
Borrower by Escrowee of the respective amounts set forth below within five
(5) days after its receipt of joint instructions as to such reduction from
Lender and Borrower or thirty (30) days after its receipt of a letter from
Borrower to Escrowee and Lender confirming that the requirement for such
payment set forth in (1), (2) or (3) below, as the case may be, has been
satisfied (unless Lender disputes such satisfaction by a letter to
Escrowee and Borrower which is received by Escrowee and Borrower prior to
the expiration of such thirty (30) day period); provided, however that
such letter from Borrower shall contain, in bold face type and capital
letters, a warning stating that Escrowee will be automatically authorized
to reduce the Escrow Amount by payment to Borrower within thirty (30)
days, unless Lender objects to such reduction and payment by simultaneous
delivery of written notice thereof to both Escrowee and Borrower prior to
the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.
a. The Escrow Amount shall be reduced to
$517,400.00 ($250,000.000 plus Borrower's Contribution) by payment to
Borrower of $482,600.00 upon at least fifty percent (50%) completion of
the Improvements, as certified by Borrower's Architect.
b. The Escrow Amount shall be reduced to
$250,000.00 when the principal amount of the Loan has reached
$4,665,200.00 and Borrower is required to pay Borrower's Contribution in
connection with construction costs for the Project (or if Borrower is
required to pay only a portion of Borrower's Contribution, then the Escrow
Amount shall be reduced to the extent necessary to make such payment).
c. The Escrow Amount shall be reduced to zero by
payment to Borrower of the balance of the Escrow Amount, and the Escrow
shall be terminated, upon Completion (as defined in Section 8.14(a)
above).
3. If Lender forecloses under the Deed of Trust after
an Event of Default by Borrower under the Loan Documents or if Lender
exercises its right under this Agreement to complete the construction of
the Project, the Additional Building Costs (as defined below) shall be
paid by Escrowee to Lender from (and to the extent of) the Escrow Amount
from time to time based upon certificates of Lender's architect as to
expenditures of the Additional Building Costs. "Additional Building
Costs" shall mean the amount by which the costs of completing the
Improvements by Lender exceed the Remaining Budgeted Amount (as defined
below). The "Remaining Budgeted Amount" shall mean the total amount set
forth in the Budget, as of the date Lender first seeks to withdraw amounts
from Escrow, less the Borrower's Costs previously expended by Borrower to
construct the Improvements.
P. NO PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT VENTURE. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein contained, Lender, by entering into this
Agreement or by any action taken pursuant hereto, will not be deemed a
partner or joint venturer with Borrower. Borrower and Lender hereby agree
that they have no intention to create a partnership or joint venture.
Additionally, Borrower and Lender hereby agree that they shall not
represent to third parties that this Agreement creates a partnership or
joint venture.
Q. MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. Regardless of any provision
contained in this Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall
never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Note,
any amount in excess of interest calculated at the maximum rate, allowed
under applicable law, if any, (the "MAXIMUM RATE"), and, if Lender ever
receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, then the amount
that would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial
prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the
principal amount of the Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall
forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether the interest paid
or payable, under any specific contingency exceeds interest calculated at
the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment
as an expense or fee rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof; and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate
and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the
entire contemplated term of the Note; provided that, if the Note is paid
and performed in full before the end of the full contemplated term
thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence
thereof exceeds interest calculated at the Maximum Rate, then Lender shall
refund to Borrower the amount of the excess or credit the amount of the
excess against the principal amount of the Note and, in such event, Lender
shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting
for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of
interest calculated at the Maximum Rate.
== ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF REMEDIES. Notwithstanding the fact
that Lender is the same entity as the tenant under the Lease and Borrower
is the same entity as the landlord under the Lease, the remedies available
upon default pursuant to the terms of the Lease are separate and distinct
from the remedies available upon default under the Loan Documents, and
vice versa, and a default under the Lease shall give rise only to the
remedies enumerated in the Lease and shall not give rise to a remedy set
forth in any of the Loan Documents unless such default is a default under
the Loan Documents or except as otherwise specifically stated in the
Lease. Similarly, a default under any of the Loan Documents shall give
rise only to the remedies enumerated in the Loan Documents and shall not
give rise to a remedy set forth in the Lease unless such default is a
default under the Lease or except as otherwise specifically stated in the
Loan Documents.
S. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Either party shall deliver to the
other, within thirty (30) days after a request therefor by such other
party, an estoppel certificate, duly acknowledged, stating whether the
Loan Documents are in full force and effect and whether they have been
amended, the amount advanced to Borrower under this Agreement, the amounts
due on the Note, whether all payments on the Loan are current, whether any
notice of a default has been given, and whether any offsets or defenses
exist under or against the Loan.
T. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. To the extent legally permissible,
the undersigned waives any right to trial by jury in any litigation
relating to transactions arising hereunder, whether sounding in contract,
tort or otherwise.
VII. EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING ON THE LOAN AND
THE LEASE. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the
Lease, the following provisions shall apply in any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against Borrower pursuant to any
applicable state or federal law or statute.
A. REJECTION OF THE LEASE UNDER BANKRUPTCY CODE SECTION 365.
In the event of a rejection of the Lease pursuant to the provisions of
Bankruptcy Code Section 365(h)(1), Lender shall have such rights as are
provided for in Section 365(h)(1)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
specifically including, without limitation, the right of Lender to offset
against any rent otherwise due by Lender as tenant under the Lease any
payments due by Borrower under the Lease or the Loan Documents in an
amount equal to the value of any damage caused by Borrower's
non-performance under the Lease after the date of such rejection. Upon
rejection, Borrower's failure to make any payments provided for under the
Loan Documents shall constitute an event of default and non-performance
under the Lease and Lender may exercise such rights of setoff as provided
for in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the Lease as damages
for Borrower's default and/or non-performance.
B. ASSUMPTION OF THE LEASE UNDER BANKRUPTCY CODE SECTION
365(A). In the event Borrower assumes the Lease (the "Assumed Lease")
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a), and subsequently defaults or
fails to perform under the Assumed Lease, Lender may exercise such rights
as it may have available to it under the Lease, the Loan Documents, or
applicable non-bankruptcy law, notwithstanding the status or pendency of
Borrower's bankruptcy case.
C. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) Upon the execution of the Loan Documents, the
obligations of the parties to the Loan Documents will be considered
materially performed for purposes of this Section 9.
(b) To the extent necessary, Borrower hereby agrees to
the entry of an order in favor of Lender granting Lender relief from the
automatic stay in bankruptcy in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy
petition by or against Borrower and the enforcement by Lender of its
rights under the Loan Documents or the Lease.

EXHIBIT "B"
PROMISSORY NOTE SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST
$5,165,200.00 July 25, 1996
_______________________________________________________________
1. PRINCIPAL. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BRISTOL MALL ASSOCIATES,
an Illinois general partnership ("BORROWER"), promises to pay to ▇.▇.
PENNEY COMPANY, INC., ("LENDER"), at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-
2102, Attn: ▇▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other place as Lender from time
to time may designate, the principal sum of Five Million One Hundred Sixty
Five Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($5,165,200.00) (the "MAXIMUM LOAN
AMOUNT") or so much of that sum as may be advanced from time to time under
this promissory note ("NOTE") in accordance with the "Loan Agreement" (as
such term is defined below), plus interest as specified in this Note
payable all as specified herein. This Note evidences a construction loan
("LOAN") from Lender to Borrower.
2. SECURITY; BACKGROUND.
(a) This Note is secured by, among other things, a
Credit Line Deed of Trust and Security Agreement ("DEED OF TRUST")
covering certain real and personal property, as therein described (the
"PROPERTY"), an absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents (the "ASSIGNMENT
OF LEASES AND RENTS"), UCC-1 Financing Statements in the form prescribed
by the Commonwealth of Virginia, an Assignment of Construction Contracts
and Warranties covering all contracts for the designing, planning and
construction of the Improvements, including all agreements with architects
and all construction warranties assigned to Borrower (the "ASSIGNMENT OF
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS"), and such other documents as Lender deems
necessary to preserve or protect its lien and any and all renewals,
modifications and extensions of any of the foregoing (collectively with
the Note, the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"). This Note, the Deed of Trust, the
Assignment of Leases and Rents and the other Loan Documents are of even
date herewith and are entered into pursuant to the terms of that certain
Construction Loan Agreement of even date herewith ("LOAN AGREEMENT")
between Lender and Borrower. Some or all of the Loan Documents, including
the Loan Agreement, contain provisions for the acceleration of the
maturity of this Note. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
(b) Pursuant to the Lease, Borrower is to prepare the
site for and to construct a ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ store including, but not limited
to, the shell and core thereof and all building, mechanical, electrical
and other operating systems (herein referred to as the "IMPROVEMENTS") as
described and identified in the Plans and Specifications. Lender has
agreed to make the Loan to Borrower for certain hard costs in excess of
$1,000,000 paid by Borrower for preparing the site and constructing the
Improvements in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan
Agreement and the Lease.
(c) Upon completion of the Improvements, they will be
occupied by Lender pursuant to the terms of that certain Lease between
Borrower, as landlord, and Lender, as tenant, dated as of November 29,
1989, a Memorandum of which was recorded in the Clerk's Office of the
Circuit Court of the City of Bristol, Virginia, in Book 279, Page 607,
which Lease was amended by that certain First Amendment of Lease dated as
of the date hereof (as amended and supplemented, the "LEASE"). The date
upon which Lender opens its "Main Store Building" (as defined in the
Lease) to the public for business pursuant to the terms of the Lease is
hereinafter referred to as the "OPENING DATE".
3. INTEREST RATE. Commencing on the date hereof and
continuing until the "Maturity Date" (as such term is defined below), the
principal sum outstanding from time to time under this Note shall bear
interest at 10% per annum or the maximum rate allowed under applicable law
(the "MAXIMUM RATE"), if any, whichever is lower (the "INTEREST RATE") and
shall be payable in accordance with Section 4 below.
4. PAYMENT.
(a) Commencing on the date hereof and continuing until
the last day of the month preceding the Opening Date Borrower shall be
obligated to make no payments pursuant to the terms of this Note.
Interest shall accrue upon funds advanced by Lender under the Note from
the date of each such advance, and all accrued but unpaid interest shall
be added to the principal balance of the Note on the Payment Commencement
Date (defined in paragraph (b) below).
(b) Commencing on the first day of the first full month
following the Opening Date (the "PAYMENT COMMENCEMENT DATE") and
continuing until the date that is 59 months subsequent to the Payment
Commencement Date, Borrower shall make payments of interest only in
arrears (the "MONTHLY INTEREST PAYMENT") on the first day of each calendar
month. The day following the 60th payment of interest pursuant to this
subparagraph shall hereinafter be referred to as the "AMORTIZATION DATE".
(c) Commencing on the first day of the first full month
following the Amortization Date, and continuing on the first day of each
and every month thereafter until the Maturity Date (on which date any
unpaid interest and principal and all other sums due under this Note shall
be paid in full), Borrower shall make equal monthly payments of principal
and interest (the "MONTHLY AMORTIZED PAYMENT") on the first day of each
calendar month in an amount necessary to fully amortize the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan as of the Amortization Date based on a
10-year amortization schedule at the rate of 10% per annum, as calculated
by Lender and provided to Borrower by written notice.
On the Maturity Date, the entire balance of principal and all accrued but
unpaid interest under the Note shall be due and payable.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall credit against each
Monthly Interest Payment and each Monthly Amortized Payment, as the case
may be, the amount due from Lender to Borrower under the Lease on the
payment date (including fixed minimum rental, contingent rental, common
area maintenance or similar charges, taxes and any other amounts due)
following the exercise of any and all recoupment or offset rights of
Lender under the Lease, and Borrower shall be obligated to pay the amount
by which such Monthly Interest Payment or Monthly Amortized Payment, as
the case may be, exceeds such credit. Additionally, if the credit for a
particular month exceeds the Monthly Interest Payment or the Monthly
Amortized Payment, as the case may be, for that month, the excess credit
shall be applied to the principal balance of the Note.
5. CALCULATION PERIOD. Interest hereunder shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.
6. MATURITY DATE. All principal and all accrued and unpaid
interest shall be due and payable on the date (the "MATURITY DATE") which
is the earlier of ten (10) years after the Payment Commencement Date or
August 30, 2010.
7. MAXIMUM AMOUNT. Lender shall not be required to make any
advance if that would cause the outstanding principal of this Note
(inclusive of all initial accrued interest and any amounts paid by Lender
under the Loan Documents which are deemed additional principal or interest
thereunder) to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount.
8. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may prepay some or all of the
principal under this Note at any time or times, without penalty or premium
of any kind or nature.
9. DEFAULT RATE. If Borrower fails to make any payment of
principal or interest under this Note within five (5) days after it
becomes due and payable Borrower agrees to pay interest on all outstanding
interest and all outstanding principal at an annual rate (the "Default
Rate") equal to two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate,
from the date the payment initially becomes due until Borrower pays in
full all principal and accrued and unpaid interest. If Borrower fails to
make any payment of any other sums or amounts under this Note or any of
the other Loan Documents when due and payable and fails to cure such
default within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender, Borrower
agrees to pay interest on all such amounts at the Default Rate from the
date the payment initially becomes due until Borrower pays in full all
such amounts due.
10. AFTER MATURITY. From and after the date of maturity of
this Note, whether by acceleration or otherwise, all sums then due and
payable from Borrower to Lender under this Note and the other Loan
Documents, including all principal and all accrued and unpaid interest,
shall bear interest until paid in full at the Default Rate.
11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If any of the following "EVENTS OF
DEFAULT" occurs, any obligation of the holder of this Note to make
advances under this Note or the Loan Agreement shall terminate, and at the
holder's option, exercisable in its sole discretion, all sums of principal
and interest and other sums due under this Note and the other Loan
Documents shall become immediately due and payable without notice of
default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of
nonpayment or dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, or
other notices or demands of any kind or character except any notice which
may be required by law:
(a) Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or
interest under this Note when due and does not cure such failure within
ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Lender, or Borrower fails
to make any payment of any other amount required to be paid under this
Note, the Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document, as the same shall
become due and payable, whether at maturity or when accelerated or
otherwise, and Borrower does not cure such failure within ten (10) days
after written notice thereof from Lender; or
(b) Borrower fails to timely and properly observe, keep
or perform any covenant, agreement, warranty or condition required in any
of the Loan Documents to be observed, kept or performed, if such failure
continues for thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Lender, provided
that if such failure cannot be cured during the initial thirty (30) day
period, and if Borrower commences to cure such failure within said thirty
(30) day period and diligently and continuously pursues the cure to
completion, then such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for an
additional sixty (60) days or such longer period that Borrower
demonstrates to Lender's reasonable satisfaction is reasonably necessary
for the completion of the cure; or
(c) Under any of the Loan Documents, an Event of Default
(as defined in that document) occurs.
Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment, notices of intention to
accelerate the maturity hereof, acceleration, diligence in collecting,
protest and notice of protest, and unless and to the extent that the same
may be required by law, acceleration as to this Note and as to each, every
and all installments hereof, and agrees to all renewals, extensions and
partial payments before or after maturity without prejudice to Lender.
12. FORM OF PAYMENT. All amounts payable under this Note are
payable in lawful money of the United States during normal business hours
on a "Banking Day" (as such term is defined below).
13. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any lawsuit is commenced which arises
out of or relates to this Note, the Loan Documents or the Loan, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from each other party such
sums as the court or referee may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys' fees
in the action, in addition to costs and expenses otherwise allowed by law.
Additionally, Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in any effort to collect upon or enforce any of the obligations
under this Note or any of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to
reasonable legal fees and disbursements, whether or not any lawsuit is
filed.
14. GOVERNING LAW. This Note is governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to the choice of law rules of
that State.
15. LENDER DELAYS. If Lender delays in exercising or fails to
exercise any of its rights under this Note, that delay or failure shall
not constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights, or of any breach,
default or failure of condition of or under this Note or the other Loan
Documents. No waiver by Lender of any of its rights, or of any such
breach, default or failure of condition shall be effective, unless the
waiver is expressly stated in a writing signed by Lender, and then only to
the extent expressly stated in such writing. No waiver by Lender of any
such breach, default, Event of Default or failure of condition of or under
this Note, nor of any term or condition in the Note, shall be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent breach, default, Event of Default or failure of
condition of the same or any other kind nor a waiver of any other term or
condition in the Note or any Loan Document. All of Lender's remedies in
connection with this Note or under applicable law shall be cumulative
(except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary), and Lender's
exercise of any one or more of those remedies shall not constitute an
election of remedies.
16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Lender may not assign this Note
without the prior written consent of Borrower except to a successor
corporation by reason of merger, consolidation or sale of substantially
all of Lender's assets or to a Related Corporation, as that term is
defined in the Lease. Borrower may not assign this Note without the prior
written consent of Lender. Subject to the foregoing, the terms of this
Note shall bind and benefit the heirs, legal representatives, successors
and assigns of the parties.
17. CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Note, the terms
"Lender," "holder" and "holder of this Note" are interchangeable. As used
in this Note, the word "include(s)" means "include(s), without
limitation," and the word "including" means "including, but not limited
to." The term "BANKING DAY" is defined to mean a day other than a
Saturday or Sunday, on which Lender is open for business in its corporate
headquarters in Plano, Texas.
18. NOTICES. All notices given hereunder must be in writing
and shall be effective upon delivery, or if mailed, upon the first to

the first paragraph of this Note.
Those addresses may be changed by ten (10) days' written notice to the

19. MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE. Regardless of any provision contained
in this Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall never be
entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Note, any amount
in excess of interest calculated at the Maximum Rate, and, if Lender ever
receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, then the amount
that would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial
prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the
principal amount of the Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall
forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether the interest paid
or payable, under any specific contingency exceeds interest calculated at
the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment
as an expense or fee rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof; and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate
and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the
entire contemplated term of the Note; provided that, if the Note is paid
and performed in full before the end of the full contemplated term
thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence
thereof exceeds interest calculated at the Maximum Rate, then Lender shall
refund to Borrower the amount of the excess or credit the amount of the
excess against the principal amount of the Note and, in such event, Lender
shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting
for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of
interest calculated at the Maximum Rate.
20. CONFLICTS. To the extent that the terms, conditions and
provisions of this Note conflict with the terms, conditions or provisions
of any other Loan Document, the terms, conditions and provisions of the
Loan Agreement shall govern.
21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. To the extent legally permissible, the
undersigned waives any right to trial by jury in any litigation relating
to transactions arising hereunder, whether sounding in contract, tort or
otherwise.
22. NON-RECOURSE.
(a) Prior to Completion (as defined below), paragraph (b) of
this Section 22 shall be applicable. From and after Completion, paragraph
(c) of this Section 22 shall be applicable. "Completion" shall mean
completion of the Improvements (as defined in the Loan Agreement) by
Borrower and delivery of possession thereof to Lender as tenant under the
Lease, except for punch list items (if any) which will cost no more than
$50,000 to complete, as certified in writing by Borrower's Architect (as
defined in the Loan Agreement).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or
in any other Loan Document, the only entities with financial or any other
obligation under this Note or any other Loan Document, at law or in
equity, are Borrower and General Partner (as defined in the Loan
Agreement), and Lender agrees to look solely to the assets of Borrower and
General Partner (including, but not limited to, (i) the Escrow Amount [as
defined in the Loan Agreement], (ii) Borrower's interest in the Property,
(iii) the proceeds of sale receivable from any execution of any judgments
against Borrower's interest in the Property and/or General Partner's
interest in any of its assets, (iv) any consideration receivable by
Borrower and/or General Partner from the sale or other disposition of all
or any part of its right, title and interest in the Property or any of its
assets, and (v) rents and other income from the Property and other assets
receivable by Borrower and/or General Partner) to satisfy any claims under
this Note or any other Loan Document, at law or in equity. No present or
future direct or indirect constituent partner (other than General Partner)
in or agent of Borrower or General Partner (an "OTHER PARTNER") nor any
present or future advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee,
beneficiary, shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any
corporation or trust that is or becomes an Other Partner (including, but
not limited to JMB Realty Corporation, ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇),
shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in
connection with this Note or any other Loan Document, or any instrument or
certificate securing or otherwise executed in connection with this Note or
any other Loan Document, or any amendment or amendments to any of the
foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter. Lender and
its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and
entities, shall look solely to the assets of Borrower and General Partner
for the payment of any claim or for any performance under the Loan
Documents, at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Note or any other Loan Document, each of the following
shall not for any purpose be deemed to be an asset or the property of
Borrower or General Partner (or any Other Partner): (i) any negative
capital account of any partnership and (ii) any obligation to restore a
negative capital account of, or to contribute capital to, any partnership.
The foregoing limitations are in addition to, and not in limitation of,
any other limitation on liability contained in this Note or in any other
Loan Document or provided by law.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or
in any other Loan Document, neither Borrower nor any Other Partner, nor
any shareholder, officer, director, employee, trustee, beneficiary or
agent of any entity that is or becomes an Other Partner (including, but
not limited to JMB Realty Corporation, ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇),
shall be personally liable, directly or indirectly, under or in connection
with this Note or any other Loan Document, or any instrument or
certificate securing or otherwise executed in connection with this Note or
any other Loan Document, or any amendments or modifications to any of the
foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter. The
recourse of Lender and each of its successors and assignees under or in
connection with this Note, any other Loan Document and such instruments
and certificates, and any such amendments or modifications, shall be
limited only to (i) Borrower's interest in the Property, (ii) the proceeds
of sale receivable from any execution of any judgments against Borrower's
interest in the Property, (iii) any consideration receivable by Borrower
from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Borrower's right,
title and interest in the Property, and (iv) rents and other income from
the Property receivable by Borrower, and no other assets or property of
Borrower shall be subject to levy, execution or other procedures for the
satisfaction of Lender's remedies.
(d) The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed to
deny to Lender, or limit its right to obtain, injunctive relief or
specific performance of Borrower's covenants or obligations under this
Note or to avail itself of any other right or remedy (not involving
personal liability of Borrower in excess of the limits or personal
liability fixed by the terms set forth in this Section) which may be
accorded Lender by law or under the terms of this Note or the other Loan
Documents by reason of Borrower's failure to perform its obligations
thereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 22, Borrower and General Partner shall be fully liable to
Lender to the same extent that they would be liable absent the foregoing
provisions of this Section for: (i) fraud or wilful misrepresentations of
Borrower or General Partner and (ii) the fraudulent misapplication by
Borrower or General Partner of either (x) any sums advanced under the
Loan, (y) any proceeds paid under any insurance policies by reason of
damage, loss or destruction to any portion of the Property, or (z) any
proceeds or awards resulting from the condemnation or taking for public or
private use of all or any part of the Property.
(f) This provision shall have no effect on the provision of
the Lease captioned "Limitation of Landlord's Liability" and the tenant's
rights under the Lease with respect thereto.
(g) The foregoing limitations are in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any other limitation on liability contained in this Note or
in any other Loan Document or provided by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Note as of the date first
above written.
