Loan Agreement

This Loan Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 20th day of March, 2006, by and between ASSET CAPITAL PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and (the “Borrower”) and CITIZENS BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA, a Pennsylvania banking corporation (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”).

Recitals

A. Lender has agreed to make a loan to Borrower in the maximum principal amount of $19,000,000 (the “Loan”), subject to the terns and conditions contained herein.

B. The Loan is evidenced by that certain Revolving Credit Note of even date herewith in the original principal balance of $19,000,000 (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, replaced, or restated from time to time, the “Note”). The terms and provisions of the Note are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

C. Payment of the Note, and the due performance by Borrower of all of its obligations under the Note is guaranteed by Asset Capital Corporation, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”), and by ACC Timonium LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Timonium”), ACC Columbia Medical Campus LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Columbia”) and ACC ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Medical Center LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”, and together with Timonium and Columbia, the "IDOT Guarantors”). The obligations of IDOT Guarantors are secured by the lien of that certain Indemnity Deed of Trust, Assignment, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing of even date (the “Deed of Trust”). This Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust and any other document executed and delivered in connection with the Loan, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, are sometimes individually referred to herein as a “Loan Document” and collectively as the “Loan Documents.”

D. The parties hereto desire to set forth the terms and conditions under which the Loan shall be made and administered.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Agreements

General Information.

Schedules.

The Schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

Defined Terms.

Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Preamble hereto and in Schedule 1.

Advances of the Loan.

The Loan.

Borrower agrees to borrow the Loan from Lender, and Lender agrees to lend the Loan to Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.

Initial Advance of Maximum Loan Amount. On the Closing Date, Lenders shall make an initial advance of a portion of the Maximum Loan Amount in the amount of up to $276,119.75 (“Initial Advance”). Interest shall accrue and be payable in arrears on the principal amount outstanding.

Interest Payment; Debt Service Advance Amount and Use. Borrower shall either (i) remit to Lender interest due on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan outstanding in monthly installments on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 2 of the Note (“Debt Service Payment”) or (ii) at Borrower’s option, Borrower may request Lender to make an advance from the Interest Reserve (each, a “Debt Service Advance”) on any Payment Date in an amount equal to the Debt Service Payment provided that the aggregate amount of Debt Service Advances shall at no time exceed amounts available under the Interest Reserve. Each Debt Service Advance shall be added to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan as of the day such advance is made; provided, (i) Lender shall have no obligation to make any Debt Service Advance at any time during which a Default exists and (ii) if insufficient funds remain in the Interest Reserve to pay accrued interest on any Payment Date, Borrower shall make such payment(s) from its own funds. The making of any advance by Lender at the time when a Default exists shall not be deemed a waiver or cure by Lender of such Default, nor shall Lender’s rights and remedies by prejudiced in any manner thereby.

Working Capital Advances; Borrowing Base Availability and Revolving Borrowings. The Borrower shall be entitled to request working capital advances (“Working Capital Advances”) from Lender in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Maximum Working Capital Advance Amount provided that at no time shall the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Loan (including Advances under the Interest Reserve) exceed the lesser of (X) the Maximum Loan Amount or (Y) the aggregate of the Release Prices (as such amounts shall be determined based on eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate “as is” appraised value of the Property and subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof) of the Property, or part thereof, pledged as collateral for the Loan (the “Borrowing Base Availability”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement; provided further that Borrower shall not be entitled to any Advance hereunder (i) should there exist an Event of Default at the time such Advance is requested or (ii) at any time after thirty (30) days preceding the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrowing Base Availability shall be determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, and shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof. Subject to the restrictions on Advances set forth in this Section 2.1, following the completion of the IPO of Guarantor, Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Loan.

Advances. The Borrower shall give Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each request for Advance hereunder prior to 11:00 a.m. on the requested date of each Advance. Each request for Advance shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of the Advance should be credited.

Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount to be prepaid. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued and unpaid interest to such date on the amount so prepaid.

Conditions Precedent to Extension. Each of the following conditions must be satisfied in a manner acceptable to Lender (or waived in writing by Lender) as a condition precedent to extension of the Initial Maturity Date:

(A) Borrower delivers written notice to Lender not more than ninety (90) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date advising that Borrower is exercising its extension option, together with all materials requested by Lender to confirm that the performance criteria identified in subsection (E) below have been satisfied.

(B) No Event of Default exists as of the date Borrower exercises its extension option and/or as of the Initial Maturity Date.

(C) Borrower executes and delivers to Lender a confirmation or amendment to this Loan Agreement, as applicable, acceptable to Lender in all respects, which confirms that the term of the Loan has been extended until the Extended Maturity Date, and such other matters as Lender may require.

(D) Borrower reimburses Lender for all costs reasonably incurred by Lender in processing the extension request, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses.

Affirmative Covenants and Agreements.

Use of Proceeds.

Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan for proper business purposes as contemplated by its organizational documents and in compliance with Law.

Inspections; Cooperation.

Subject to the rights of tenants of the Property under their Leases and subject to applicable law, Borrower shall cause each IDOT Guarantor to permit representatives of Lender to enter upon the Land, to inspect the Improvements, to examine all records and books of account maintained by or on behalf of Borrower and/or IDOT Guarantors relating to the use and operation of all Improvements and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts pertaining to the Loan and the Improvements with representatives of Borrower and/or IDOT Guarantors (provided, except in the event of an emergency, Lender shall give IDOT Guarantors at least one (1) Business Day’s notice by telephone in each instance before entering upon the Land and/or exercising any other rights granted in this Section). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, Lender shall be limited to making such inspections contemplated herein to no more than one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period for the Improvements at each of the parcels as more fully described in Exhibits A-1 through Exhibit A-3 of the Deed of Trust at a cost to Borrower not to exceed $1,500 in the aggregate in any such twelve (12) month period.

Payment and Performance of Contractual Obligations.

Borrower shall perform, and shall cause IDOT Guarantors to perform in a timely manner all of their respective obligations under any and all contracts and agreements to which they are parties (including, without limitation, those related to the operation of the Improvements), and to pay when due all bills for services or labor performed and materials supplied in connection therewith.

Insurance.

Borrower shall cause IDOT Guarantors to maintain the following insurance at its sole cost and expense:

Insurance against Casualty to the Property under a policy or policies covering such risks as are presently included in “special form” (also known as “all risk”) coverage, including such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism and malicious mischief and shall not contain an exclusion for acts of terrorism. Such insurance shall name Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender, such insurance shall be for the full insurable value of the Property, with a deductible amount, if any, satisfactory to Lender. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this Section by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full insurable value” means one hundred percent (100%) of the actual replacement cost of the Property (excluding land, foundation and excavation costs, site work costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items).

Comprehensive (also known as commercial) general liability insurance on an “occurrence” basis against claims for “personal injury” liability and liability for death, bodily injury and damage to property, products and completed operations, in limits satisfactory to Lender with respect to any one occurrence and the aggregate of all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance shall name Lender as an additional insured.

If at any time any portion of any structure on the Property is insurable against Casualty by flood and is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, a flood insurance policy in form and amount acceptable to Lender but in no amount less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable Law as such requirements may from time to time be in effect.

Loss of rental value insurance or business interruption insurance covering a period of at least twelve (12) months in an amount acceptable to Lender.

Such other and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Lender in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Lender in similar transactions including, if required by Lender, wind insurance and earthquake insurance, so long as any such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums as determined by Lender from time to time.

Each policy of insurance (i) shall be issued by one or more insurance companies each of which must have an A.M. Best Company financial and performance rating of A-IX or better and are qualified or authorized by the Laws of the State to assume the risks covered by such policy, (ii) with respect to the insurance described under the preceding Subsections (a), (c) and (d) and (e), shall have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clauses in favor of and entitling Lender without contribution to collect any and all proceeds payable under such insurance, either as sole payee or as joint payee with the applicable IDOT Guarantor, (iii) shall provide that such policy shall not be canceled or modified without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, and (iv) shall provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower or the IDOT Guarantors which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment. Borrower shall or shall cause the IDOT Guarantors to promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver or cause IDOT Guarantors to Lender acceptable evidence of insurance, such as a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or other evidence satisfactory to Lender reflecting that all required insurance is current and in force. Borrower shall or shall cause IDOT Guarantors to immediately give notice to Lender of any cancellation of, or change in, any insurance policy. Lender shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (A) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (B) the solvency of any insurer, or (C) the payment of losses. Borrower or IDOT Guarantors may satisfy any insurance requirement hereunder by providing one or more “blanket” insurance policies, subject to Lender’s approval in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation provisions.

Adjustment of Condemnation and Insurance Claims.

Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened Condemnation. Borrower shall cause the applicable IDOT Guarantor, at its expense, to diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and to consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. If an Event of Default occurs hereunder, Lender is authorized, at its sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or the applicable IDOT Guarantor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation or Casualty, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith. In such case, Lender shall have the right to receive all Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom any payment all of its Expenses. Borrower agrees to cause the applicable IDOT Guarantor to diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each Claim and to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each Claim subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Lender of any Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, the Property shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of the Deed of Trust, Lender shall have the right to receive such funds (a) to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Deed of Trust shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) to the extent necessary to reimburse Lender for its Expenses. If any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds are paid to Borrower or any IDOT Guarantor, Borrower or such IDOT Guarantor shall receive the same in trust for Lender. Within ten (10) days after Borrower’s or IDOT Guarantor’s receipt of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds, Borrower shall

or shall cause the applicable IDOT Guarantor to deliver such awards or proceeds to Lender in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements or documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer the same to Lender. Borrower agrees to or to cause each IDOT Guarantor to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Lender, such further instruments or documents as may be requested by Lender to confirm the grant and assignment to Lender of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.

Utilization of Net Proceeds.

Net Proceeds must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for the restoration of the Property. Net Proceeds shall be utilized for the restoration of the Property provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and if in the reasonable judgment of Lender (i) there has been no material adverse change in the financial viability of the construction or operation of the Improvements and (ii) the Net Proceeds, together with other funds deposited with Lender for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and specifications approved by Lender. Otherwise, Net Proceeds shall be utilized for payment of the Obligations.

If Net Proceeds are to be utilized for the restoration of the Property, the Net Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with Lender for that purpose, must be deposited in an interest-bearing account with Lender, which account will be assigned to Lender as additional security for the Loan (the “Deposit Account”). In the event of a deficiency in the funds available to complete restoration as herein contemplated Borrower shall deposit funds in an amount equal to such deficiency in the Deposit Account. Lender shall have the exclusive right to manage and control all funds in the Borrower’s Deposit Account, but Lender shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Advances of the deposited funds will be made from time to time for the payment of deficient line item amounts, prior to the advance of proceeds of the Loan for such amounts. Disbursements of funds from the Deposit Account will be made in a manner consistent with, and subject to, the Lender’s then standard requirements for the closing and funding of construction loans. Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in the Borrower’s Deposit Account.

Remedies on Default.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Lender under the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents or under applicable Law, to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

Lender may accelerate all of Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents whereupon such Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without notice of default, acceleration or intention to accelerate, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or notices or demands of any kind or character (all of which are hereby waived by Borrower).

Lender may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver for the Property.

Lender may set off the amounts due Lender under the Loan Documents against any and all accounts, credits, money, securities or other property of Borrower now or hereafter on deposit with, held by or in the possession of Lender to the credit or for the account of Borrower, without notice to or the consent of Borrower.

No Release or Waiver; Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent.

Borrower shall not be relieved of any Obligation by reason of the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or of any other Person to take action to foreclose on the Property under the Deed of Trust or otherwise to enforce any provision of the Loan Documents, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the Property. No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the happening of an Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. No delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any option for acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations, or for

foreclosure of the Deed of Trust following any Event of Default as aforesaid, or any other option granted to Lender hereunder in any one or more instances, or the acceptance by Lender of any partial payment on account of the Obligations shall constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default and each such option shall remain continuously in full force and effect. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided for in the Loan Documents, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by statute. Every right, power and remedy given by the Loan Documents to Lender shall be concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Borrower, Guarantor, any IDOT Guarantor or the Property or any part thereof, and every right, power and remedy given by the Loan Documents may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender.

Lender’s Rights to Pay and Reform.

If, after any required notice, Borrower fails to promptly pay or perform any of the Obligations within any applicable grace or cure periods, Lender, without notice to or demand upon Borrower, and without waiving or releasing any Obligation or default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower.

Reimbursement; Interest.

If Lender shall incur any expenses or pay any claims by reason of the Loan or the rights and remedies provided under the Loan Documents (regardless of whether or not any of the Loan Documents expressly provide for an indemnification by Borrower against such claims), Lender’s payment of such expenses and claims shall constitute advances to Borrower which shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on demand, together with interest thereon from the date incurred until paid in full at the rate of interest then applicable to the Loan under the terms of the Note. Each advance shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents as fully as if made to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by the party or parties to whom such advance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Deed of Trust or to recover or collect the Obligations, the provisions of Law governing the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by this Section.

PROPERTY RELEASE

Right to Release.

Borrower shall have the right, from time to time, to obtain a partial release (“Partial Release”) of one or more parcels comprising the Property from the lien of the Deed of Trust and related Financing Statements in connection with the sale thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII (the portion of Property so released hereinafter referred to as the “Released Portion”).

Terms of Release.

As used herein, “Release Price” shall have the meaning set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto and made a part hereof. Lender shall allow for one or more Partial Releases upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Release Price by wire transfer or other immediately available funds, which shall be applied in partial prepayment of the principal balance of the Note, (ii) after giving effect to such Partial Release, the outstanding principal balance under the Loan shall be no greater than eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate Release Prices of the remaining Property; (iii) Borrower shall have paid all costs in connection with the Partial Release; (iv) at the time of such Partial Release, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, (v) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender the documents necessary to release the Released Portion from the lien created by the Deed of Trust and Financing Statements, each in appropriate form required by the State and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender; (vi) Borrower shall have paid all amounts then due and unpaid under the Loan Documents through (and including) amounts due on the date of Partial Release, and (vii) Borrower shall have paid Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the review and documentation of such Partial Release.

Liens of Deed of Trust Otherwise Unaffected.

No Partial Release shall, in any way, impair or affect the lien or priority of the Deed of Trust with respect to any portion of the Property other than the Released Portion, or improve the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto. The Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien and security interest on the portion of the Property other than the Released Portion.

Reduction in Borrowing Base Availability.

Upon the Partial Release of Property, the Release Price of such Released Portion shall no longer be included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Availability as set forth under Section 2.1 hereof and Borrowing Base Availability shall be calculated based on the Release Price of the remaining Property.

Property Substitution.

Borrower may request and Lender may consider a substitution of real property collateral for the Released Portion of the Property. Such substitution shall be in Lender’s sole discretion and subject to the Lender’s then applicable underwriting standards and the Lender’s evaluation of the economic performance of the proposed substitution property.

Miscellaneous.

Further Assurances; Authorization to File Documents.

At any time, and from time to time, upon request by Lender, Borrower shall or shall cause IDOT Guarantors to, at Borrower’s expense, (a) correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the form or content of any of the Loan Documents, and (b) make, execute, deliver and record, or cause to be made, executed, delivered and recorded, any and all further instruments, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to complete, perfect or continue and preserve the lien of the Deed of Trust. Upon any failure by Borrower to do so, Lender may make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates and other documents for and in the name of Borrower, all at the sole expense of Borrower, and Borrower hereby appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to do so, this appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements deemed necessary or desirable by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests granted in the Deed of Trust, and Borrower ratifies any such filings made by Lender prior to the date hereof.

No Warranty by Lender.

By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Borrower or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, including any certificate, survey, receipt, appraisal or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof and any such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Lender.

Standard of Conduct of Lender.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall limit the right of Lender to exercise its business judgment or to act, in the context of the granting or withholding of any advance or consent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in a subjective manner, whether or not objectively reasonable under the circumstances, so long as Lender’s exercise of its business judgment or action is made or undertaken in good faith. Borrower and Lender intend by the foregoing to set forth and affirm their entire understanding with respect to the standard pursuant to which Lender’s duties and obligations are to be judged and the parameters within which Lender’s discretion may be exercised hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. As used herein, “good faith” means honesty in fact in the conduct and transaction concerned.

No Partnership

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed in a manner to create any relationship between Borrower and Lender other than the relationship of borrower and lender and Borrower and Lender shall not be considered partners or co-venturers for any purpose on account of this Agreement.

Severability.

In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part

or in any other respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then and in either of those events, at the option of Lender, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the validity of the remaining Obligations, and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

Notices.

All notices required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the applicable address set forth below (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed). Any notice shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein; provided that service of a notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.

Permitted Successors and Assigns; Disclosure of Information.

Each and every one of the covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of Borrower, its successors and those assigns of Borrower consented to in writing by Lender, and shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of Lender and the endorsees, transferees, successors and assigns of Lender, and all Persons claiming under or through any of them.

Borrower agrees not to transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any right or interest in any payment or advance due pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the other benefits of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation made or attempted by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender shall be void and of no effect. No consent by Lender to an assignment shall be deemed to be a waiver of the requirement of prior written consent by Lender with respect to each and every further assignment and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such assignment.
