SECTION 2. CONSTRUCTION FACILITY

2.1 Commitment to Lend.

(a) Commitment to Lend. Borrower agrees to borrow from each Lender, and each Lender severally agrees to make advances of its Pro Rata Share of the Loan proceeds to Borrower in amounts at any one time outstanding not to exceed such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan and (except for Administrative Agent with respect to Administrative Agent Advances), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, including Sections 6 and 7; provided that, immediately after each such advance is made (a) such Lender's Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment, (b) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, and (c) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Committed Amount. The Commitments of all of the Lenders to lend up to the Committed Amount shall expire and terminate (a) automatically on the Maturity Date, (b) automatically, if the Obligations (other than Obligations outstanding under any Lender Swap Agreement which shall be governed by and due in accordance with the provisions thereof) are prepaid in full, and (c) at Administrative Agent's option after the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Loan is not a revolving credit facility, and any amount repaid may not be reborrowed.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 18

(b) Post-Closing Syndication. As of the Closing Date, the Committed Amount is $35,000,000 and the remaining $27,860,000 of the Loan is uncommitted. Administrative Agent agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts (and subject to customary terms and conditions ) to syndicate the full amount of the $62,860,000 Loan to PlainsCapital Bank and other financial institutions identified by Administrative Agent in consultation with Borrower during the Post-Closing Syndication Period. Administrative Agent's syndication undertaking is subject to the absence of any material adverse change or material disruption in the loan syndication, financial, banking or capital markets that, in the judgment of Administrative Agent, has impaired, or could reasonably be expected to impair, the syndication. Borrower agrees to actively assist Administrative Agent in achieving the syndication. To assist syndication efforts, Borrower agrees to provide Administrative Agent during the Post-Closing Syndication Period with all customary assistance, including without limitation, to (a) provide and cause Borrower's advisors to provide Administrative Agent and the other Lenders upon request with all information reasonably deemed necessary by Administrative Agent to complete the syndication, (b) to assist Administrative Agent in its reasonable requests in the preparation of any offering memorandum to be used in connection with syndication efforts, and (c) otherwise assist Administrative Agent in its syndication efforts, including making Borrower's officers and advisors available from time to time to attend presentations regarding the business and prospects of Borrower and the Project. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent and/or one or more of its affiliates will exclusively manage all aspects of the syndication (in consultation with Borrower), including decisions as to the selection and number of potential Lenders to be approached, when they will be approached, whose commitments will be accepted, any titles offered to the Lenders and the final allocations of the commitments and any related fees among the Lenders, and Administrative Agent will exclusively perform all functions and exercise all authority as is customarily performed and exercised in such capacities. If the Syndication Event occurs, Schedule 1.1 shall be amended appropriately to reflect the Lenders and their respective Commitments and Pro Rata Shares; provided that the dollar amount of PlainsCapital Bank's Pro Rata Share shall not exceed $35,000,000. Additionally, if the Syndication Event occurs, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days after the Syndication Event, an additional up-front fee in the amount of 0.50% of the Committed Amount over $35,000,000. If the Syndication Event does not occur, (i) the Committed Amount will remain at $35,000,000, and (ii) Borrower may, at its option, purchase the Loan and Administrative Agent's lien position in order to transfer it to an alternate lender (or cause a direct purchase of the lien position) at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus the amount of all unpaid protective advances made by Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents plus unpaid fees, penalties, charges, costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

2.2 Use of Proceeds. Loan proceeds may be used solely to pay the costs of the acquisition of the Land, site development, and construction of the Improvements on the Land, and other costs regarding the Project, including interest due on the Notes prior to the Conversion Date; provided that if the Syndication Event does not occur, loan proceeds shall be used not be used for construction of the Phase 2 Improvements. Borrower will not request any advances of the Loan, and Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any advances of the Loan (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

2.3 Evidence of Debt. Amounts of the Loan advanced by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loan made by the Lenders to Borrower and the

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 19

interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence the amounts of the Loan made by such Lender, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of the applicable advances and payments with respect thereto.

In addition to the accounts and records referred to in the preceding paragraph, each Lender and Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in the Lakeway Letter of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.4 Interest Rates.

(a) Interest Rate. Advances of the Loan from day to day outstanding which are not past due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate, or (ii) the Contract Rate.

(b) Computations and Determinations. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Administrative Agent shall determine the interest rate applicable to the advances of the Loan in accordance with this Agreement and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The books and records of Administrative Agent shall be prima facie evidence of all sums owing to Lenders from time to time under this Loan, but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

(c) Past Due Rate. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, Borrower shall pay interest on the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Past Due Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand, at a rate per annum (the "Past Due Rate") equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate or (ii) six percent (6%) over the Contract Rate.

2.5 Payment Schedule; Conversion to Mini-Perm; Maturity Date. Principal and interest shall be paid as follows:

(a) Prior to and on the Conversion Date. Prior to and on the Conversion Date, accrued unpaid interest shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

(b) After Conversion Date. The Principal Debt outstanding on the Conversion Date and interest thereon (payable in arrears and using mortgage style amortization of a fixed payment amount consisting of both principal and interest) shall be due and payable in consecutive installments beginning on the first day of the month following the Conversion Date, and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter through and including the first day of the month in which the Maturity Date occurs. The amount of the initial payment shall be the amount which would fully amortize the Principal Debt outstanding on the Conversion Date over a period of twenty five (25) years beginning on such date at a

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 20

rate of interest equal to the rate of interest then actually accruing on the Conversion Date. The monthly payment amount shall be adjusted on each Adjustment Date to give effect to the change in the interest rate on that date. Such adjusted payment shall be calculated by Lender so as to be an amount which would fully amortize the Principal Debt outstanding on the Adjustment Date at the adjusted rate(s) over the remaining term of the twenty (25) year amortization, and shall be reflected in the next billing cycle.

(c) Other Times Interest Payable. Accrued unpaid interest shall also be due and payable at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) Maturity Date. The Principal Debt then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

2.6 Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the principal balance of the Loan, in full at any time or in part from time to time, provided that: (a) Administrative Agent shall have actually received from Borrower prior written notice of Borrower's intent to prepay, the amount of principal which will be prepaid (the "Prepaid Principal"), and the date on which the prepayment will be made; (b) each prepayment shall be in the amount of $100,000 or more (unless the prepayment retires the outstanding balance of the Loan in full or the prepayment is due to application of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds in accordance with the Loan Documents or is due to Borrower’s prepayment to cure a failure to comply with the Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirement); and (c) each prepayment shall be in the amount of 100% of the Prepaid Principal, plus accrued unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, plus any other sums which have become due to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents on or before the date of prepayment but have not been paid. If the Loan is prepaid in full, any commitment of Lenders for further advances shall automatically terminate.

2.7 Concerning Advances and Payments.

(a) The procedure for advances is set forth in Section 7. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable advance. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable advance available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified by Administrative Agent.

(b) All payments by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. Administrative Agent's Time on the date specified herein. Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender such funds as such Lender may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) on or before 3:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's Time) on the day Administrative Agent receives such funds, if Administrative Agent has received such funds on or before 2:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's Time), or (ii) on or before 2:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's Time) on the Business Day following the day Administrative Agent receives such funds, if Administrative Agent receives such funds after 2:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's Time). If Administrative Agent fails to timely pay any amount to any Lender in accordance with this subsection, Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender interest at the Federal Funds Rate on such amount, for each day from the day such amount was to be paid until it is paid to such Lender.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by Borrower or any Lender shall be made to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent's Office not later than the time for such type of payment specified in this Agreement. All payments received after such time shall be deemed

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 21

received on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America. Whenever any payment falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(d) Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly make any amounts received in accordance with the prior subsection available in like funds received as follows: (i) if payable to Borrower, in accordance with Section 7, except as otherwise specified herein, and (ii) if payable to any Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender at the address specified on such Lender's Administrative Questionnaire or such other address as such Lender may have furnished to Administrative Agent in writing.

(e) Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to Administrative Agent, that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be required to do so) in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by Administrative Agent (the "Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to such amount under the Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Pro Rata Share, included in the applicable Loan advance. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent's demand therefor, Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon Borrower, and Borrower shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to such amount under the Loan. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or to Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(f) If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan advance to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section, and the funds are not advanced to Borrower or otherwise used to satisfy any obligations of such Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 22

(g) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan advance in any particular place or manner.

2.8 Administrative Agent Advances.

(a) Administrative Agent is authorized, from time to time, in Administrative Agent's sole discretion to make, authorize or determine advances of the Loan, or otherwise expend funds, on behalf of Lenders ("Administrative Agent Advances"), (i) to pay any costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 14.1 herein, and (ii) when Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the collateral for the Loan or any portion thereof (including those with respect to property taxes, insurance premiums, completion of construction, operation, management, improvements, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition) (A) subject to Section 15.3, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (B) subject to Section 15.10, after acquisition of all or a portion of the collateral for the Loan by foreclosure or otherwise.

(b) Administrative Agent Advances shall constitute obligatory advances of Lenders under this Agreement, shall be repayable on demand and secured by the collateral for the Loan, and if unpaid by Lenders as set forth below shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such amount under the Loan. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each Administrative Agent Advance. Upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of its making of an Administrative Agent Advance, each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of Administrative Agent Advance available to Administrative Agent, in same day funds, to such account of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate, (i) on or before 3:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's Time) on the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such Administrative Agent Advance if Administrative Agent provides such notice on or before 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's Time), or (ii) on or before 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such advance if Administrative Agent provides notice after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's Time).

2.9 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(a) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 23

competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.4 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Waivers and Amendments. The Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 16.5); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby.

(c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Termination of Defaulting Lender's Commitment. At any time when a Lender is then a Defaulting Lender, Borrower may elect to terminate such Defaulting Lender's Commitment hereunder; provided that (A) such termination must be of all of the Defaulting Lender's Commitment, (B) Borrower shall pay all amounts owed by Borrower to such Defaulting Lender in such Lender's capacity as a Lender under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (including principal of and interest on the Loan owed to such Defaulting Lender and accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder), (C) Borrower shall provide appropriate assurances and indemnities as such Defaulting Lender may reasonably require with respect to such Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of drawings under the Lakeway Letter of Credit, (D) a Defaulting Lender's Commitment may be terminated by Borrower if and only if at such time Borrower has elected or is then electing to terminate the Commitments of all then existing Defaulting Lenders and (E) no Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such election and termination. Upon written notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent of a Borrower's election to terminate a Defaulting Lender's Commitment pursuant to this Section and the payment and deposit of amounts required to be paid by Borrower under clause (b) above, (1) such Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a "Lender" hereunder for all purposes except that such Lender's rights and obligations as a Lender under Sections 14.1, 14.2, 14.3, 15.9 and 16.2(b) shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with its ceasing to be a "Lender" hereunder, (2) such Defaulting Lender's Commitment shall be deemed terminated, and (3) such Defaulting Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder as a "Lender" except as to obligations under Section 15.9 and any other obligations that expressly survive, which obligations shall continue with respect to events and occurrences occurring before or concurrently with it ceasing to be a "Lender"

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 24

hereunder; provided that, any such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim by Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Replacement of Defaulting Lender. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Defaulting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 16.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 16.2;

(ii) such Defaulting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its advances of the Loan, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); and

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.

Upon request of Borrower, Administrative Agent will also make commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Defaulting Lender, subject to the provisions of this Section.

2.10 Several Obligations; No Liability, No Release. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Administrative Agent (if any) to make any advances of the Loan or reimbursements for other Payment Amounts shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Pro Rata Shares. Except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, no Lender shall have any liability for the acts of any other Lender. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make advances of the Loan or reimbursements for other Payment Amounts, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein. The failure of any Lender to pay to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of a Payment Amount shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to pay to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Payment Amounts as and when required herein, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so fund its Pro Rata Share of the Payment Amount. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lenders shall comply with their obligation to pay Administrative Agent their Pro Rata Share of such Payment Amounts regardless of (a) the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or under any Loan Document; (b) any failure of consideration, absence of consideration, misrepresentation, fraud, or any other event, failure, deficiency, breach or irregularity of any nature whatsoever in the Loan Documents; or (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency or other like event with regard to any Borrower or any Guarantor. The obligation of Lenders to pay such Payment Amounts are in all regards independent of any Claims between Administrative Agent and any Lender.

2.11 Lakeway Letter of Credit. Exhibit L attached hereto sets forth the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Lakeway Letter of Credit.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 25

2.12 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its advances of the Loan or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its advances of the Loan and accrued interest thereon or such other obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loan and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective advances of the Loan and other amounts owing them; provided that: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its advances of the Loan to any assignee or Participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.13 Late Charge. If Borrower shall fail to make any payment due hereunder or under the terms of any Note within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lender or Lenders on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment. Such ten (10) day period shall not be construed as in any way extending the due date of any payment. This late charge is imposed for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a Lender incident to handling such defaulting payment. This charge shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy Lenders may have and is in addition to any fees and charges of any agents or attorneys which Administrative Agent or Lenders may employ upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, whether authorized herein or by law.

2.14 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, to a depository (including Administrative Agent, any Lender or its or their Affiliates) for returned items or insufficient collected funds, or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 3. UNAVAILABILITY OF RATE

3.1 Unavailability of Rate. If the WSJ LIBOR One Month Floating Rate ceases to be available or Required Lenders determine that any applicable law, or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, or compliance therewith by Lenders,

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 26

prohibits or materially restricts or makes impossible the making or maintaining of the WSJ LIBOR One Month Floating Rate, and Administrative Agent so notifies Borrower, then until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the WSJ Prime Rate shall be substituted for the WSJ LIBOR One Month Floating Rate and an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the Applicable Margin commensurate with the historical spreads between the WSJ Prime Rate and the WSJ LIBOR One Month Floating Rate.

3.2 Survival. All of Borrower's obligations under this Section 3 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4. BUDGET; BORROWER'S DEPOSIT

4.1 Budget.

(a) The Budget is attached as Exhibit C and the Phase 1 Budget is attached as Exhibit C-1. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Budget includes the Phase 1 Budget. Borrower represents to Administrative Agent and Lenders that (1) the Budget includes all projected costs and expenses incident to the Loan, the Improvements and the Project through the Maturity Date of the Loan (collectively, the "Aggregate Cost"), after taking into account the requirements of this Agreement, including "hard" and "soft" costs, fees and expenses, and (2) the Phase 1 Budget includes all projected costs and expenses incident to the Loan and the Phase 1 Improvements through the Maturity Date of the Loan (collectively, the "Phase 1 Aggregate Cost"), after taking into account the requirements of this Agreement, including "hard" and "soft" costs, fees and expenses.

(b) Unless and until the Syndication Event occurs, Lenders shall not be required to (a) make any advance for any cost not set forth in the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, (▇) make any advance for any line item in the Phase 1 Budget that, when added to all prior advances for that line item, would exceed the lesser of (i) the actual cost incurred by Borrower for such line item or (ii) the sum allocated in the Phase 1 Budget for that line item, (c) make any advance for any contingency line item in the Phase 1 Budget unless Administrative Agent consents to such advance in its sole discretion, or (d) make any advance for interest on the Loan after commencement of operations in the Improvements if and to the extent that there is sufficient net operating income from the Project to cover any such advances. Lenders may make advances allocated to line items in the Phase 1 Budget for other purposes or in different proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable. Without prior written approval of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not reallocate Loan funds from one Phase 1 Budget line item to another or otherwise amend the Phase 1 Budget.

(c) If the Syndication Event occurs, Lenders shall not be required to (a) make any advance for any cost not set forth in the Budget, (b) make any advance for any line item in the Budget that, when added to all prior advances for that line item, would exceed the lesser of (i) the actual cost incurred by Borrower for such line item or (ii) the sum allocated in the Budget for that line item, (c) make any advance for any contingency line item in the Budget unless Administrative Agent consents to such advance in its sole discretion, or (d) make any advance for interest on the Loan after commencement of operations in the Improvements if and to the extent that there is sufficient net operating income from the Project to cover any such advances.

4.2 Interest Reserve. Borrower acknowledges that the Aggregate Commitment includes a reserve for interest due on the Loan (the "Interest Reserve") in the amount set forth in the Budget. Subject to the limitations set forth below, Administrative Agent shall disburse and charge the Interest Reserve for interest due under the Notes on the Interest Payment Dates and for any payments due from Borrower to the Lender Swap Providers under any Lender Swap Agreement. Such disbursements shall be made by a bookkeeping entry on Administrative Agent's and each Lender's records reflecting, an amount equal to the accrued interest due and payable on the relevant payment date which shall be set off against any amounts owed such parties by Borrower under any Lender Swap Agreement. Borrower agrees that although such payments for amounts owed under the Lender Swap Agreements will be charged against the Interest Reserve, such payments shall in no event constitute or be characterized as interest under this Agreement or otherwise. Borrower shall cause the Lender Swap Providers to pay to Administrative Agent, for application towards interest owed hereunder, all amounts due Borrower under any Lender Swap Agreement. Any such funds disbursed in the manner provided in this Section shall be deemed paid to and received by Borrower, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall be obligated to disburse any portion of the Interest Reserve at any time when any condition to the making of an advance of the Loan is not satisfied (except that the Lenders shall have the right to fund such interest from the Interest Reserve even if no Draw Request has been submitted to or approved by the Lenders or Administrative Agent). In the event the Lenders are not obligated to disburse out of the Interest Reserve as aforesaid, and for any remaining portion of interest due on the Loan, Borrower shall be responsible for the current payment of interest on the Loan from Borrower's own funds.

4.3 Borrower's Deposit. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that the sum of: (a) any unadvanced portion of the Loan to which Borrower is entitled, plus (b) the portions of the Phase 1 Aggregate Cost (prior to the Syndication Event) or the Aggregate Cost (after the Syndication Event), as applicable, that are to be paid by Borrower from other funds that, to Administrative Agent's satisfaction, are available, set aside and committed, is or will be insufficient to pay the actual unpaid Phase 1 Aggregate Cost (prior to the Syndication Event) or the Aggregate Cost (after the Syndication Event), as applicable, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Administrative Agent, deposit with Administrative Agent the amount of the deficiency in an interest‑bearing account of Administrative Agent's selection with interest earned thereon to be part of Borrower's Deposit. As additional security for the Loan, Borrower hereby pledges such Borrower's Deposit to Administrative Agent and hereby grants and conveys to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and the Lender Swap Providers a security interest in all funds so deposited with Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may advance all or a portion of Borrower's Deposit prior to the Loan proceeds. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) apply all or any part of Borrower's Deposit against the unpaid Obligations in such order as Administrative Agent determines.

7.6 Direct Advances. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders (but Administrative Agent shall have no obligation) to (a) advance Loan funds directly to Lenders to pay interest due on the Loan, and (b) advance and directly apply the proceeds of any advance to the satisfaction of any of Borrower's obligations under any of the Loan Documents, even

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 43

though Borrower did not include that amount in a Draw Request and/or no Event of Default exists. Each such direct advance (except for advances of the Borrower's Deposit) shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall be secured by the collateral for the Loan. Unless Borrower pays such interest from other resources, Administrative Agent may advance Loan funds pursuant to this Section for interest payments as and when due. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to permit Borrower to defer payment of interest on the Loan beyond the date(s) due. The allocation of Loan funds in the Budget for interest shall not affect Borrower's absolute obligation to pay the same in accordance with the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may hold, use, disburse and apply the Loan proceeds and the Borrower's Deposit for payment of any obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby assigns and pledges the proceeds of the Loan and any Borrower's Deposit to Administrative Agent for itself and for the benefit of Lenders for such purposes. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may, after Borrower's failure to timely do so, advance and incur such expenses as Administrative Agent deems necessary for the completion of the Improvements and to preserve the Project and any security for the Loan, and such expenses, even though in excess of the amount of the Loan, shall be secured by the collateral for the Loan and shall be payable to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders on demand. Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may disburse any portion of any advance at any time, and from time to time, to Persons other than Borrower for the purposes specified in this Section and the amount of advances to which Borrower shall thereafter be entitled shall be correspondingly reduced.

7.7 Funding. Borrower shall establish and maintain a special account with Administrative Agent into which advances funded directly to Borrower (but no other funds), and excluding direct disbursements made to or by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deposited by Borrower, and against which checks shall be drawn only for the payment of costs specified in the Budget, but which special account shall not be used for any other purpose. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to deposit each advance requested by Borrower to the credit of Borrower in that account, by wire transfer or other deposit. Advances may also be made, in addition to other methods contemplated herein, at Administrative Agent's option, by direct or joint check payment, after a Potential Default or an Event of Default, to any or all Persons entitled to payment for work or services performed or material furnished in connection with the Project or the Loan, or by having the proceeds thereof made available to the Title Company (or its agent) for disbursement. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to, and has no responsibility to, supervise the proper application or distribution of funds to third parties.

7.8 Conditions and Waivers. All conditions precedent to the obligation of Administrative Agent to make any advance are imposed hereby solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no other party may require satisfaction of any such condition precedent or be entitled to assume that Administrative Agent will refuse to make any advance in the absence of strict compliance with such conditions precedent. Any requirement of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, in a specific written waiver intended for that purpose and signed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall have the right to approve and verify the periodic progress, costs incurred by Borrower, and the estimated costs remaining to be incurred. No advance shall constitute an approval or acceptance by Administrative Agent of any construction work, a waiver of any condition precedent to any further advance, or preclude Administrative Agent from thereafter declaring the failure of Borrower to satisfy such condition precedent to be an Event of Default. No waiver by Administrative Agent of any condition precedent or obligation shall preclude Administrative Agent from requiring such condition or obligation to be met prior to making any other advance or from thereafter declaring the failure to satisfy such condition or obligation to be an Event of Default.

7.9 No Advances During Event of Default or After Potential Default. Borrower shall not be entitled to receive, and the Lenders shall have no obligation to fund, any advance whatsoever (whether

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 44

previously approved by Administrative Agent or not) (a) during the existence of any Event of Default, or (b) after the occurrence of any Potential Default, unless such Potential Default is cured to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent.

(a) Each such Lease is for not more than 5,000 rentable square feet of retail space, for a term of not less than three (3) years not more than fifteen (15) years, with a gross rental of not less than $25.00 per square foot and a tenant improvements allowance of not more than $40.00 per square foot.

(b) Each such Lease is on a standard form of lease that has previously been submitted to and approved by Lender, with no material deviations except as approved by Administrative Agent and market driven changes that would be acceptable to a commercial landlord in a similar project in Lakeway, Texas utilizing sound business judgment, provided that the Lease must require the tenant to contribute to real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses on a commercially reasonable basis and that no subordination, attornment or other mortgage/deed of trust-related provisions of the standard form Lease shall be modified in any material respect unless actually approved by Administrative Agent.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 48

Except as expressly provided above, Borrower will not enter into any Lease or Leases (including any material amendment to any such Lease that is not contemplated in the Lease) for all or any portion of the Project without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Administrative Agent will use its best efforts to respond to Borrower's request for approval of a proposed Lease within ten (10) Business Days of Administrative Agent's receipt of such request and of a copy of the proposed lease agreement and any related documents that may be requested by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent's failure to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to be Administrative Agent's approval of the proposed Lease. Borrower acknowledges that Leases entered into pursuant to this Section will generally reflect market conditions and consequently may or may not generate receipts sufficient to meet Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents. Under no circumstances shall Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents be deemed to be waived, diminished, reduced or otherwise impaired by virtue of the fact that Leases approved pursuant to this Section do not generate sufficient receipts to enable Borrower to comply with such obligations.

If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after the Lakeway Letter of Credit has either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amounts shall be applied to the Other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

13.3 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.

Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of complying with the Loan Documents, whether or not such costs and expenses are included in the Budget.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 63

Credit), or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; (c) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action arising out of or relating to the use of Information or other materials obtained through internet, Intralinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement; and (d) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including attorney fees and costs) that any Indemnified Party suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding and whether it is defeated, successful or withdrawn, (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), INCLUDING IN WHOLE OR PART ANY LOSS ARISING OUT OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S STRICT LIABILITY, OR COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Upon demand by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall diligently defend any Claim which affects the Project or is made or commenced against Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether alone or together with Borrower or any other Person, all at Borrower's own cost and expense and by counsel to be approved by Administrative Agent in the exercise of its judgment. In the alternative, at any time Administrative Agent may elect to conduct its own defense on behalf of itself or any Lender through counsel selected by Administrative Agent and at the cost and expense of Borrower. Nothing, including any advance or acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by Administrative Agent or Lenders. Inspection shall not constitute an acknowledgment or representation by Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Construction Consultant that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans, the Loan Documents, or applicable laws, Governmental Requirements and restrictive covenants, or that the construction is free from defective materials or workmanship. Inspection, whether or not followed by notice of an Event of Default, shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default then existing, or a waiver of Administrative Agent's and Lenders' right thereafter to insist that the Improvements be constructed in accordance with the Plans, the Loan Documents, and all applicable Governmental Requirements. Administrative Agent's failure to inspect shall not constitute a waiver of any of Administrative Agent's or Lenders' rights under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity.

14.3 Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 14.1 or Section 14.2 to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub‑agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent) or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10.

14.4 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 64

arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any advance of the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 14.2 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

SECTION 15. AGENCY

15.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints PlainsCapital Bank to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including acting as collateral agent for Lenders and the Lender Swap Providers under the Loan Documents, and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Lender Swap Providers, and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

15.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

15.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 65

other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of any doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 13.1 and 16.5), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default is given to Administrative Agent by Borrower or a Lender.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Sections 6, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent.

15.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any advance of the Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such advance. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

15.5 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 66

Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub‑agents.

15.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, and so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, with the consent of Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 15 and Section 14 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Should PlainsCapital Bank resign as Administrative Agent and should the Lakeway Letter of Credit be outstanding at the time of such resignation, the successor Administrative Agent shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to PlainsCapital Bank to effectively assume the obligations of PlainsCapital Bank with respect to the Lakeway Letter of Credit.

15.7 Non‑Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders‑. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

15.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, agents, or arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 67

responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

15.9 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent‑Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it, INCLUDING THOSE IN WHOLE OR PART ARISING FROM ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S STRICT LIABILITY, OR COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out‑of‑pocket expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by Administrative Agent as described in this Section. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

15.10 Releases; Acquisition and Transfers of Collateral.

(a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to transfer or release any lien on, or after foreclosure or other acquisition of title by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders to transfer or sell, any collateral for the Loan (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations; (ii) constituting a release, transfer or sale of a lien or property if Borrower will certify to Administrative Agent that the release, transfer or sale is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (iii) after foreclosure or other acquisition of title (1) for a purchase price of 90% of the Appraised Value indicated in the most recent Appraisal of the collateral obtained by Administrative Agent made in accordance with regulations governing Administrative Agent, less any reduction indicated in the Appraisal estimated by experts in such areas; or (2) if approved by the Required Lenders.

(b) If all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan is acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Administrative Agent shall take title to the collateral in its name or by an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, but for the benefit of all Lenders in their Pro Rata Shares on the date of the foreclosure sale or recordation of the deed in lieu of foreclosure (the "Acquisition Date"). Administrative Agent and all Lenders hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right of partition with respect to any collateral so acquired. After any collateral is acquired, Administrative Agent shall appoint and retain one or more Persons (individually and collectively, "Property Manager") experienced in the management, leasing, sale and/or dispositions of similar properties.

After consulting with the Property Manager, Administrative Agent shall prepare a written plan for completion of construction (if required), operation, management, improvement, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition of the collateral for the Loan and a budget for the aforesaid, which may include a reasonable management fee payable to Administrative Agent (the "Business Plan"). Administrative Agent will deliver the Business Plan not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Acquisition Date to each Lender with a written request for approval of the Business Plan. If the Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and the Property Manager shall adhere to the Business Plan

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 68

until a different Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders. Administrative Agent may propose an amendment to the Business Plan as it deems appropriate, which shall also be subject to Required Lender approval. If the Business Plan (as may be amended) proposed by Administrative Agent is not approved by the Required Lenders, (or if sixty (60) days have elapsed following the Acquisition Date without a Business Plan being proposed by Administrative Agent), any Lender may propose an alternative Business Plan, which Administrative Agent shall submit to all Lenders for their approval. If an alternative Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent may appoint one of the approving Lenders to implement the alternative Business Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, unless in violation of an approved Business Plan or otherwise in an emergency situation, Administrative Agent shall, subject to subsection (a) of this Section, have the right but not the obligation to take any action in connection with the collateral (including those with respect to property taxes, insurance premiums, completion of construction, operation, management, improvement, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition), or any portion thereof.

(c) Upon request by Administrative Agent or Borrower at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent's authority to sell, transfer or release any such liens of particular types or items of collateral for the Loan pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release, transfer or sale on terms that, in Administrative Agent's opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the transfer, release or sale without recourse, representation or warranty, and (ii) such transfer, release or sale shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower other than those expressly being released.

(d) If only two (2) Lenders exist at the time Administrative Agent receives a purchase offer for collateral for the Loan for which one of the Lenders does not consent within ten (10) Business Days after notification from Administrative Agent, the consenting Lender may offer (the "Purchase Offer") to purchase all of non-consenting Lender's right, title and interest in the collateral for a purchase price equal to non-consenting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the net proceeds anticipated from such sale of such collateral (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, including the undiscounted face principal amount of any purchase money obligation not payable at closing) (the "Net Proceeds"). Within ten (10) Business Days thereafter the non-consenting Lender shall be deemed to have accepted such Purchase Offer unless the non-consenting Lender notifies Administrative Agent that it elects to purchase all of the consenting Lender's right, title and interest in the collateral for a purchase price payable by the non-consenting Lender in an amount equal to the consenting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Net Proceeds. Any amount payable hereunder by a Lender shall be due on the earlier to occur of the closing of the sale of the collateral or 90 days after the Purchase Offer, regardless of whether the collateral has been sold.

15.11 Benefit. The terms and conditions of this Article are inserted for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, without prejudicing Administrative Agent's or Lenders' rights to later assert them in whole or in part.

15.12 Agent; Lead Manager. Administrative Agent shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on Administrative Agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 69

15.13 Concerning the Lakeway Letter of Credit. PlainsCapital Bank shall act on behalf of Lenders with respect to the Lakeway Letter of Credit and the documents associated therewith, and PlainsCapital Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities provided to Administrative Agent in this Section 15 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by PlainsCapital Bank in connection with the Lakeway Letter of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in Section 15 and the definition of "Agent‑Related Person" included PlainsCapital Bank as issuer of the Lakeway Letter of Credit with respect to such acts or omissions.

SECTION 16. MISCELLANEOUS

Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders further covenant and agree as follows, without limiting any requirement of any other Loan Document:

16.1 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication.

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

(i) if to Borrower or Administrative Agent, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 16.1; and

(ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e‑mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 if such Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e‑mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return e‑mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 70

opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e‑mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the other parties hereto.

16.2 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the advances of the Loan at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the advances of the Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes advances of the Loan outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the advances of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a revolving facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment of a term facility, unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 71

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the advances of the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(B) the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) an unfunded or revolving facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) a funded term facility to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount, if any, required by Administrative Agent; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to Borrower or any of Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 and Section 14 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment and

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 72

Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the advances of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, or Borrower or any of Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the advances of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 15.9(d) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 16.5 that affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.2 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.2 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.1 or 3.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.3 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 73

Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

16.3 Cumulative Rights and No Waiver. Each and every right granted to Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under any Loan Document, or allowed them by law or equity shall be cumulative of each other and may be exercised in addition to any and all other rights of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and no delay in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Borrower expressly waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, including notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall, of itself, entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

16.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS SITTING IN DALLAS COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH TEXAS STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 74

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

16.5 Amendments. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to amend (whether pursuant to a separate intercreditor agreement or otherwise) any of the terms, conditions or agreements set forth in Section 15 or as to any other matter in the Loan Documents respecting payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders or the required number of the Lenders to approve or disapprove any matter or to take or refrain from taking any action, without the consent of Borrower or any other Person or the execution by Borrower or any other Person of any such amendment or intercreditor agreement; provided, that no change may be made to any provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without Borrower's written consent unless an Event of Default is then continuing (in which case, no consent of Borrower will be required). Subject to the foregoing, Administrative Agent may amend or waive any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any party to the Loan Documents therefrom which amendment, waiver or consent is intended to be within Administrative Agent's discretion or determination, or which otherwise in Administrative Agent's reasonable determination shall not have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, otherwise no such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective unless in writing, signed by the Required Lenders and Borrower or the applicable party to the Loan Documents, as the case may be, and acknowledged by Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided further however, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 13.1), without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of a Potential Default or an Event of Default shall not constitute an extension or increase in any Lender's Commitment);

(b) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender.

16.6 Survival. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid and performed in full and all of Administrative Agent's and Lenders' obligations under this Agreement are terminated; and all representations and warranties and all provisions herein for indemnity of the Indemnified Parties, Administrative Agent and Lenders (and any other provisions herein specified to survive) shall survive payment in full, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations, the resignation or removal of Administrative Agent or replacement of any Lender, and any release or termination of this Agreement or of any other Loan Documents.

16.9 Survivability. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein or in the other Loan Documents shall survive the making of the initial advance of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the Obligations are outstanding or Lenders' commitments to lend up to the Committed Amount have not expired.

16.10 Waiver Fee. If Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as applicable, at their discretion, agree to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, Borrower will, at Administrative Agent's option, pay Administrative Agent a reasonable fee for each waiver or amendment in an amount advised by Administrative Agent at the time Borrower requests the waiver or amendment. Nothing in this Section shall imply that Administrative Agent and the Lenders are obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested by Borrower. Administrative Agent may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment.

16.11 Reserved.

16.12 Environmental. Borrower will comply in all material respects with all environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations applicable to it. Borrower shall immediately notify Administrative Agent of any remedial action taken by Borrower under environmental laws with respect to the Project. Borrower will not use or permit any other party to use any Hazardous Materials at the Project except such materials as are incidental to Borrower's or such other party’s normal course of business, maintenance and repairs and which are handled in compliance with all applicable environmental laws. Borrower agrees to permit Administrative Agent, its agents, contractors and employees to enter and inspect the Project at any reasonable times upon three (3) days prior notice for the purposes of conducting an environmental investigation and audit (including taking physical samples) to insure that Borrower is complying with this covenant and Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for the costs of any such environmental investigation and audit. Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent, its agents, contractors, employees and representatives with access to and copies of any and all data and documents relating to or dealing with any Hazardous Materials used, generated, manufactured, stored or disposed of by Borrower's business operations within five (5) days of the request therefor. In addition, Borrower shall comply with all environmental requirements specified in the Deed of Trust, and to the extent there is a conflict between this Section and the Deed of Trust with respect to environmental matters, the terms and provisions of the Deed of Trust shall control.

16.13 Agreement Controlling. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except as otherwise provided in the other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, to the extent there is a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control. This Agreement replaces and supersedes in its entirety that certain proposal letter and term sheet dated as of August 29, 2014.

16.14 No Partnership, Etc. The relationship between the Lenders and Borrower is solely that of lender and borrower. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Borrower and none is created by the Loan Documents. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents, and no action taken or omitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, is intended or shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, association, or special relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent or between Borrower and any Lender or in any way make

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 77

Administrative Agent or any Lender a co‑principal with Borrower with reference to the Project or otherwise. In no event shall Administrative Agent's rights or the Lenders' rights and interests under the Loan Documents be construed to give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right to control, or be deemed to indicate that Administrative Agent or any Lender is in control of, the business, properties, management or operations of Borrower. Any inspection or audit of the Project or the books and records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial or other information, by or on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be for Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' protection only and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility of Borrower or of anyone else with regard to the condition, construction, maintenance or operation of the Project or relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Administrative Agent and the Lenders are under no duty to supervise or to inspect the Project or the construction of the Improvements nor under any duty of care to Borrower or any other Person to protect against, or inform Borrower or any other Person of the existence of negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of Improvements. Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for any defect in the Project or the Improvements or for any failure of Borrower or any other Person to construct, complete, protect or insure the Improvements.

16.15 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Borrower); and (b) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loan evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time and from time to time (a) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Maximum Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section and (b) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Maximum Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Maximum Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate applicable to a Lender, such Lender elects to determine the applicable

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 78

rate ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to Borrower's obligations hereunder.

16.16 Joint Preparation; Construction of Indemnities and Releases. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been reviewed and negotiated by sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and no rule of construction shall apply hereto or thereto which would require or allow any Loan Documents to be construed against any party because of its role in drafting such Loan Document. All indemnification and release provisions of this Agreement shall be construed broadly (and not narrowly) in favor of the Persons receiving indemnification or being released.

16.17 Form and Number of Documents. Each agreement, document, certificate, instrument, or other writing required to be delivered to Administrative Agent under any provision of this Agreement shall be in form and substance and in such number of counterparts as may be satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel.

16.18 Ceiling Election. To the extent that the Lenders are relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Rate payable on the Notes and/or any other portion of the Obligations, the Lenders will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent federal law permits the Lenders to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, the Lenders will rely on federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, the Lenders may, at their option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

16.19 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 6, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) Electronic Execution. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," "delivery," and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 79

16.20 Consents. Except where otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where the approval, consent or the exercise of Administrative Agent's or Lenders' judgment is required, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be (a) within the sole discretion of Administrative Agent or Lenders; (b) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for the purpose given and executed by Administrative Agent or Lenders; and (c) free from any limitation or requirement of reasonableness. Notwithstanding any approvals or consents by Administrative Agent or Lenders, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation or responsibility whatsoever for the adequacy, form or content of the Plans, the Budget, any appraisal, any contract, any change order, any lease, or any other matter incident to the Project or the construction of the Improvements. Administrative Agent's or Lenders' acceptance of an assignment of the Plans for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not constitute approval of the Plans. Any inspection, appraisal or audit of the Project or the books and records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Administrative Agent shall be for Administrative Agent's and Lenders' protection only, and shall not constitute an assumption of responsibility to Borrower or anyone else with regard to the condition, value, construction, maintenance or operation of the Project, or relieve Borrower of any of Borrower's obligations. Borrower has selected all surveyors, architects, engineers, contractors, materialmen and all other Persons furnishing services or materials to the Project. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any duty to supervise or to inspect the Project or the construction of the Improvements nor any duty of care to Borrower or any other Person to protect against, or inform Borrower or any other Person of the existence of, negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Improvements.

16.21 Reservations of Rights. Except to the extent as otherwise required by, or expressly provided in, the provisions of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (a) limit the applicability of any otherwise applicable statutes of limitation and any waivers contained in this Agreement, or (b) apply to or limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender (i) to exercise self help remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff, or (ii) to foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property collateral, or to exercise judicial or nonjudicial power of sale rights, (iii) to obtain from a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not limited to) injunctive relief, writ of possession, prejudgment attachment, or the appointment of a receiver, or (iv) to pursue rights against a party to this Agreement in a third-party proceeding in any action brought against Administrative Agent or any Lender in a state, federal or international court, Governmental Authority or hearing body (including actions in specialty courts, such as bankruptcy and patent courts). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Administrative Agent and any Lender may exercise the rights set forth in clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, before, during or after the pendency of any proceeding brought pursuant to this Agreement.

16.22 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self‑regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Lender Swap Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the

CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 80

consent of Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

16.23 Concerning Swap Agreements. All Swap Agreements, if any, between Borrower and any Lender Swap Provider are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of said Swap Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms of this Loan, except as otherwise expressly provided in said Swap Agreements, and any payoff statement from any Lender Swap Provider relating to the Loan shall not apply to said Swap Agreements except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

16.24 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
