Article II. Loan.

Section 2.1 Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, Bank will lend and Borrower will borrow up to the Loan Amount, such borrowing to be evidenced by the Note. The purpose of the Loan is to finance the Project. Loan proceeds may not be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Bank, which may be granted in Bank’s sole and absolute discretion.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate and Repayment. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest, and principal and interest shall be repayable in accordance with the terms of the Note, together with the fees, premiums, charges and cost and expenses provided for therein. The monetary obligations Borrower now owes to Bank and those it may in the future owe to Bank under the other Loan Documents, unless otherwise provided in any of the other Loan Documents, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand of Bank, with interest thereon at the rate of interest set forth in the Note; and, like the amounts due and owing under the Note, the same shall be secured by the Collateral. From time to time, upon reasonable request from Bank, Borrower shall execute an agreement with Bank to confirm the repayment terms then applicable to the Loan. Payments of interest may be funded from the Note, but only to the extent budgeted and set forth in the Budget.

Section 2.3 Advances. Bank agrees that it will, from time to time, so long as there shall exist no Default Condition or Event of Default, disburse Loan proceeds to Borrower in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth below in this Section 2.3 and elsewhere in this Loan Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, but in furtherance thereof, Bank shall not be obligated to make any Advance which could, in Bank’s sole discretion, cause the Loan to be classified as an HVCRE. Advances may be made by depositing the proceeds in the Operating Account. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Bank to disburse Loan proceeds directly to the General Contractor, if required by Bank.

(a) Draw Request. For all Advances subsequent to the initial Advance, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to each Advance by Bank, Borrower must submit to Bank a Draw Request, which shall include:

(i) a completed and properly executed disbursement form acceptable to Bank setting forth the amount of Loan proceeds desired;

(ii) a Certificate of Occupancy for each Home a disbursement is requested;

(iii) if requested by Bank, a title report dated within two (2) days of the Draw Request from the Title Insurance Company showing no state of facts objectionable to Bank, including an endorsement showing that title to the Land is vested in Borrower and that no claim for mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens or other encumbrances have been filed and remain in effect against the Premises; and

(iv) such other information as may be required by Bank.

(b) Advance Amount. Following receipt of a Draw Request and provided the Draw Request complies with the terms of this Loan Agreement and all information therein is true, correct and otherwise accurate, Bank shall determine the amount of the Advance to be made under the Loan in accordance with the standards of this Loan Agreement.

Section 2.4 Equity Requirements. Prior to any Advance, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to provide an equity contribution to the Project in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $3,430,000.00, (ii) thirty and four tenths of one percent (30.4%) of the Project Costs, or (iii) the Project Costs less the Loan Amount. The remaining equity contribution to the Project must be cash equity. Without limiting the foregoing, but in furtherance thereof, prior to any Advance, Borrower shall invest (and at all times during the term of the Loan maintain) minimum equity in the Premises in an amount equal to not less than fifteen percent (15%) of the “as complete” value of the Premises.

Section 2.5 Taxes and Insurance Escrow.

(a) At the time of the Amortization Commencement Date, commencing on the Payment Date and thereafter on each Payment Date for the remaining term of the Loan, Borrower shall escrow with Bank insurance premiums and ad valorem taxes against or affecting the Premises as hereinafter set forth (“Taxes & Insurance Escrow”). The initial deposit designated by Bank shall take into account the due date (or, as applicable, earliest payment date without penalty) applicable for both ad valorem taxes and insurance premiums as well as the remaining additional monthly deposit dates between such initial deposit and the date such payments are so due. The subsequent monthly deposits into the Taxes & Insurance Escrow shall be determined by Bank taking into account (w) Bank’s reasonable determination of the projected premiums that will next become due and payable on the insurance policies covering Borrower, the Premises or any part thereof or such other insurance policies required hereby or by the Loan Documents, (x) Bank’s determination of the projected ad valorem taxes next due on the Premises or any part thereof, (y) any then current balance in the Taxes & Insurance Escrow or sums otherwise previously paid by Borrower against the foregoing obligations, and (z) the number of months to elapse before, in each case, such premiums or taxes shall become due. Bank shall be entitled to designate the deposited amounts such that adequate monies will be available for such purpose in the Taxes & Insurance Escrow at least one (1) month prior to the date when each such premium or taxes will become due (or when premiums or penalties shall thereafter be assessed).

(b) Any excess reserve shall, at the reasonable discretion of Bank, be credited by Bank on subsequent reserve payments or subsequent payments to be made on the Note by Borrower, and any deficiency shall be paid by Borrower to Bank on or before the date when Bank demands such payment to be made, but in no event after the date when such premiums and taxes shall become delinquent. In the event there exists a deficiency in such fund or reserve at any time when ad valorem taxes or insurance premiums are due and payable and Borrower fails to pay, Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, advance the amount of such deficiency on behalf of Borrower and such amounts so advanced shall become a part of the indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents, shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date of such advance through and including the date of repayment. The interest of Borrower in all sums deposited with Bank under the provisions hereof or otherwise shall automatically transfer to the new holder of legal title to the Premises upon the transfer of legal title to the Premises, without implying Bank’s consent to such transfer of legal title.

(c) Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Bank, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all ad valorem taxes and insurance premiums to be paid from the Taxes & Insurance Escrow. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no circumstance exists, which with the giving of notice, or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, upon receipt of such information, Bank will disburse to Borrower sufficient funds from the Taxes & Insurance Escrow to pay such invoices and premiums. In the Event of Default, Bank shall have the right but not the obligation to directly pay the Governmental Authority or other party entitled thereto to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Taxes & Insurance Escrow. In making any payment from the Taxes & Insurance Escrow, Bank shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Borrower hereby grants and conveys to Bank a security interest in the Taxes & Insurance Escrow and all funds now or hereafter accruing therein.

(d) Upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s repayment in full of the indebtedness and satisfaction of all obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall be entitled to a full return of any funds remaining in the Taxes & Insurance Escrow.

Section 2.6 Replacement Reserve Escrow. At the time of the Amortization Commencement Date, commencing on the Payment Date and thereafter on each Payment Date for the remaining term of the Loan, Borrower shall escrow with Bank reserves for capital improvements, repairs and replacements performed at the Project, including the performance of work to the roofs, chimneys, gutters, downspouts, paving, curbs, ramps, driveways, balconies, porches, patios, exterior walls, exterior doors and doorways, windows, carpets, appliances, fixtures, elevators and mechanical and HVAC equipment, in an amount equal to $150 per annum per Home (“Replacement Reserve Escrow”). Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in the funds in the Replacement Reserve Escrow.

Section 2.7 Cash Flow Reserve.

(a) Borrower shall establish and maintain a reserve (“Cash Flow Reserve”) with Bank for use and disbursement in accordance with the provisions of this section as additional security for Borrower’s repayment of the indebtedness and satisfaction of the obligations under the Loan Documents.

(b) Upon the first (1st) calendar month in which a Net Cash Flow exists and at all times thereafter during any Cash Flow Sweep Period, Borrower shall deposit all Net Cash Flow accruing from the immediately preceding calendar month into the Cash Flow Reserve. Such monthly payment shall be made by Borrower on the Payment Date.

(c) Borrower shall be entitled to a disbursement of some or all of the funds in the Cash Flow Reserve in the following different circumstances:

(i) For the purpose of paying debt service obligations with respect to the Loan, upon the request of Borrower, or with Bank’s consent and approval (which consent and approval may be granted or withheld in Bank’s reasonable discretion), for other operating or capital expenses for the Premises, as may be approved by Bank;

(ii) All funds then on deposit in the Cash Flow Reserve shall, upon Borrower’s request, be disbursed to Borrower upon the occurrence of the Cash Flow Reserve Initial Termination Date provided, however, that any un-advanced loan amounts will be curtailed before the Cash Flow Reserve will be curtailed;

(iii) In the event, after the occurrence of the Cash Flow Reserve Initial Termination Date, the Cash Flow Sweep Period is reestablished by virtue of the occurrence of a Cash Flow Sweep Trigger Event, such new balance of the Cash Flow Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the occurrence of a Cash Flow Sweep Satisfaction Event; provided, however, it is recognized that a Cash Flow Sweep Period may exist intermittently throughout the term of the Loan and that Borrower may be entitled, in multiple instances, to lump sum disbursements from the Cash Flow Reserve pursuant to this subsection (c)(iii); and upon Borrower’s repayment in full of the indebtedness and satisfaction of all obligations under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall be entitled to a full return of the Cash Flow Reserve.

Section 2.8 Security Interest in Accounts. Borrower grants to Bank a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Accounts and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Account as additional security for the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. Until expended, disbursed or applied in accordance herewith, the Accounts shall constitute additional security for the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Bank, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Accounts to the reduction of the amounts owed to Bank under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, in any order as Bank, in its sole discretion, may determine. The Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Bank. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Bank, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Account, or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any Financing Statements, except those naming Bank as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower shall indemnify Bank and hold Bank harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred) arising from or in any way connected with the Accounts or the performance of the obligations for which the Accounts were established.

Section 2.9 Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No Advance hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions to Bank’s obligations to make further advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such Advance have the effect of precluding Bank from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default hereunder.

Section 2.10 Prepayment. The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time; provided that: (i) such prepayment shall be designated clearly as such in writing as part of or as an attachment to the prepayment; and (ii) the Borrower shall pay Bank an amount equal to the Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the Note).

Section 2.11 Flood Insurance Authorization. The National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 mandates the purchase of flood insurance when appropriate, if available. Therefore, Borrower hereby authorizes Bank, and its assigns, to purchase flood insurance during the life of the Loan Agreement. This authorization is extended only in the case where a determination is made subsequent to closing that flood insurance is necessary, because the Bank has reasonably determined the Land is located both in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as determined by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and is a community participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In such event, unless a different standard is permitted by law or regulation and such standard is imposed, flood insurance shall be purchased in the amount of the Note or the maximum amount available under the NFIP, whichever is less. Such flood insurance policy may be purchased from any agent selected by Bank. The premiums and fees incurred shall be paid by Borrower and may be paid from the escrow funds on hand and the proper adjustments made to the monthly payments. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that if the Bank or any servicer is escrowing for items such as taxes and property insurance, they are required to also escrow for required flood insurance costs. Bank may provide Borrower with written notice that flood insurance must be purchased, the amount necessary, and an estimate of the cost. If there is a dispute or uncertainty on the part of the Bank or Borrower about the flood determination, they may jointly request FEMA to review and resolve whether the Land is located in an SFHA. FEMA will review the determination and provide the Bank and Borrower a final determination within 45 days. If no determination is made, Bank’s assessment shall control.

Section 2.12 Extension Options.

(a) First Extension Option. Borrower shall have the right and option to extend the Original Maturity Date to a date ending upon the expiration of the First Extension Period (“First Extension Option”). The First Extension Option shall be granted to Borrower only if all of the following conditions have been simultaneously satisfied as of the commencement date of the First Extension Period (unless an earlier date is specified hereinbelow):

(x) Borrower shall have paid all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with such extension, including without limitation, underwriting, title and legal fees and costs.

(b) Second Extension Option. To the extent Borrower properly exercises the First Extension Option, Borrower shall have the right and option to extend the First Extension Maturity Date to a date ending upon the expiration of the Second Extension Period (“Second Extension Option”).

Article III. Collateral.

Section 3.1 Collateral. Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, the Loan will be secured by a first- priority lien and security interest in the Premises, including without limitation the following (collectively, “Collateral”): (1) the Land and Improvements, (2) the Personalty, (3) the Accounts, (4) all leases relating to the Premises and all rents, issues and profits arising out of or related to the Premises, (5) all licenses and permits relating to any one or more of the Land, the Improvements and the Personalty, (6) all other property and property rights described in any one or more of the Security Instrument, the Collateral Assignments and any of the other Loan Documents, and (7) all proceeds, products, accessions, additions, replacements and substitutions of or to the foregoing property and property rights.

Section 3.2 Perfection. On the Closing Date, Bank will require that its liens and security interests in the Collateral described in Section 3.1 be perfected through recording of such of the Loan Documents as may need to be recorded in order to achieve perfection and through Bank taking possession of such of the Collateral as may need to be in Bank’s possession to achieve perfection. In addition, on the Closing Date, Bank shall require evidence satisfactory to it (1) that there are no liens and security interests prior to Bank’s on any of the Collateral, (2) that Bank has a first priority lien and security interest in the Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, and (3) that no liens and security interests, including, without limitation, mechanic’s liens and materialmen’s liens, may at a date subsequent to Closing Date, attach to the Premises or otherwise be perfected against the Premises, or any part thereof, which, upon such attachment or perfection, would have lien priority superior to Bank’s lien and security interest priority in the Collateral.

Section 3.3 Casualty. Borrower will give Bank prompt notice of any Casualty to the Premises and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Restoration of the Premises and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 3.5. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of such Restoration (including, without limitation, any applicable deductibles under the insurance policies) whether or not such costs and expenses are covered by insurance. Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In case of loss covered by policies of insurance, Bank (or, after foreclosure, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale) is hereby authorized, at Bank’s option, either (i) to settle and adjust any claim under such policies without the consent of Borrower, or (ii) allow Borrower to agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss; provided however, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim provided that (a) no Event of Default then exists, (b) the loss or the applicable Net Proceeds are less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00), and (c) such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and provided further that in any case Bank shall and is hereby authorized to collect and receive any such insurance proceeds and the expenses incurred by Bank in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be so much additional Indebtedness hereby secured and shall be reimbursed to Bank upon demand. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for in this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.4 Condemnation Borrower will give Bank prompt notice of any instituted or threatened in writing Condemnation proceeding affecting all or any part of the Premises and shall deliver to Bank a copy of any and all notices or papers served in connection with such Condemnation or related proceedings. Borrower may settle and compromise any Condemnation proceeding only with the prior consent of Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Bank shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost and expense, in any applicable litigation or proceeding and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Bank all instruments reasonably requested by Bank to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its cost and expense, diligently prosecute any such litigation or proceeding, and shall consult with Bank, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such litigation or proceeding. Bank is hereby irrevocably appointed as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Condemnation Award and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with any Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for in this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, and the Indebtedness shall not be reduced until any Condemnation Award shall have been actually received and applied by Bank, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Indebtedness. If the Premises or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Restoration of the Premises and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 3.5. If the Premises is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Bank of the Condemnation Award, Bank shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Condemnation Award.

Section 3.5 Application of Net Proceeds.

(a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Premises, Bank shall make the Net Proceeds available for Restoration as provided for in Section 3.5(b), provided that each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(1) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(2) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the net rentable square footage of the Premises has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty, or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are a Condemnation Award, (i) less than ten percent (10%) of the Land constituting the Premises is taken, (ii) such Land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Premises, (iii) such taking does not materially impair the existing access to or parking at the Premises, and (iv) no portion of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation;

(3) Such Casualty or Condemnation does not allow any Leases to be terminated;

(4) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Law;

(5) Bank shall be satisfied in its reasonable judgment that (A) the Restoration can be substantially completed on or before the earliest to occur of (i) six (6) months preceding the Maturity Date or (ii) the earliest date required for such completion pursuant to the terms of any Leases, and (B) the Premises (taking into account the Net Proceeds) shall continue, throughout the period of Restoration, to adequately secure the outstanding balance of the Loan; and

(6) the Net Proceeds, together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Bank, are sufficient, in Bank’s reasonable judgment, to pay for all costs and expenses of the Restoration in full.

(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Bank and held by Bank and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section, shall constitute additional security for the repayment of the Indebtedness and satisfaction of the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Bank to Borrower (or directly to third parties to pay costs or expenses of the Restoration) from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon Bank being furnished with (1) evidence satisfactory to it that all requirements set forth in Section 3.5(a) have been satisfied; (2) evidence satisfactory to it that each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 hereof have been satisfied; and (3) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Bank may reasonably require and approve; and Bank may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for the Restoration be submitted to and approved by Bank prior to commencement of work. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed the value or cost of the work performed from time to time. Bank shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once per calendar month.

(c) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Bank in consultation with a construction inspector, chosen by Bank, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs and expenses which are estimated by such construction inspector to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, then Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (“Net Proceeds Deficiency”) into the Borrower’s Deposit with Bank before Bank makes any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Bank shall be held by Bank and shall be disbursed for costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same terms and conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section shall constitute additional security for the repayment of the Indebtedness and satisfaction of the Obligations. Bank may, at its reasonable election, disburse Net Proceeds for Restoration in accordance with this Section prior to any disbursement from the Borrower’s Deposit for such purpose.

(d) All (1) Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration or (2) surplus which may remain out of Net Proceeds held by Bank after payment of all costs of Restoration, may be retained and applied by Bank toward the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, proportion and priority as Bank in its reasonable discretion shall deem proper, or, at the reasonable discretion of Bank, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Bank shall approve in its reasonable discretion.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Net Proceeds are sufficient to pay the then outstanding Indebtedness in full, such Net Proceeds shall be so applied, with the balance, if any, payable to Borrower.

Section 3.6 Release Price So long as no Default Condition or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Bank shall release its interest (i.e., the Security Instrument, Financing Statement, Collateral Assignments or any other assignment or security (including, but not limited to an assignment of leases and rents)) against a Home thereon upon receipt of payment from the Borrower of the minimum release price (“Minimum Release Price”), which shall be equal to which shall be equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the Net Sales Proceeds, or (b) 135% of the allocated Loan Amount for such portion of the Premises, provided all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(a) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(b) Payment by Borrower to Bank of the Minimum Release Price;

(c) Such portion shall be a separate legal unit for purposes of, among other things, land use laws, real estate taxes and assessments;

(d) Simultaneously with the release, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall record a deed conveying fee simple title to the transferred portion to a bona fide third-party purchaser;

(e) After giving effect to the release, the remaining portion of the Premises shall remain in full compliance with the standards of maintenance and operation at the Premises, and all applicable zoning, building, subdivision, land use, parking and other laws applicable to the Premises;

(f) If requested by Bank in writing, Bank shall have received a title policy endorsement to the title insurance policy delivered to Bank in connection with the Loan (A) insuring Bank’s interest in any easements created in connection with the release, (B) extending the effective date of the title policy to the effective date of the release, and (C) confirming no change in the priority of the Security Instrument on the remaining portion of the Premises or in the amount of the insurance or the coverage under the title policy;

(g) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, prepare any and all documents and instruments necessary to effect the release of such portion of the Premises, all of which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Bank and Borrower shall also pay any reasonable expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by Bank or its servicer to effect such release; and

(h) If reasonably requested by Bank, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute such additional documents and instruments and obtain such opinions of counsel as are typical for transactions similar to such release.

Section 3.7 Excess Release Reserve. Borrower shall create at Bank a deposit account (“Excess Release Reserve”) into which any Minimum Release Price payment received in excess of the Loan balance at the time of receipt of such Minimum Release Price shall be deposited. Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, apply the Excess Release Reserve to pay any future amounts owing under the Loan.

Article IV. Conditions to First Advance.

All of the conditions set forth in this Article IV must be satisfied and completed, or the satisfaction and completion thereof waived by Bank, prior to any Advance by Bank. If all of the conditions are not met to Bank’s satisfaction, or the completion thereof waived by Bank, Bank may, at its option, (1) withhold any Advance until the same are met, or (2) disburse and require that any unsatisfied terms and conditions be satisfied as a condition subsequent to Closing within such period of time as may be designated by the Bank.

(g) Borrower’s default under the terms of any instrument or other agreement to which this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is subordinate or which is subordinate to this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(h) the death or mental incapacity of any Guarantor; provided, however that the death or mental incapacity of any Guarantor shall not be a default, provided neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is then otherwise in default under any of the Loan Documents, and provided further that, within sixty (60) days after the date of such death or mental incapacity, Borrower (A) provides Bank a reaffirmation from the executor of such Guarantor’s estate (if applicable) reaffirming the obligations contained herein and certifying (with such evidence as Bank may reasonably request) that such estate maintains assets in an amount substantially similar to the assets of such Guarantor immediately prior to such death, or (B) provides a substitute guarantor reasonably acceptable to Bank, who (i) meets or exceeds the required financial strength and position necessary to cause the Guarantors collectively to meet or exceed any financial covenants set forth in the Loan Documents; (y) satisfies the underwriting criteria that Bank customarily uses in assessing potential guarantors; and (z) executes and delivers guaranty agreements in substantially the same form and substance as the Guaranties, subject only to changes based on the identity of the replacement Guarantor (or such other changes requested by replacement Guarantor that are acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion);

(m) intentional default by Borrower under any of the Rental Agreements;

(n) Bank fails to have a first-priority security interest in the Collateral, subject to no other liens except Permitted Encumbrances; or

(o) one or more final judgments are entered against Borrower or against the Guarantors, or any of them, and said judgments are not stayed or bonded over within thirty (30) days after entry;

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to make any payment when due under the Loan Documents, no Event of Default shall be declared, and no right or remedy shall be exercised by Bank as a result thereof, unless Borrower shall have failed to pay such amount within five (5) days after due. Other than when a different time period is set forth in this Section 8.1 above, in the event of a breach or default other than for nonpayment, Borrower shall have a period (“Cure Period”) of thirty (30) days after the Borrower obtains actual knowledge of such failure or receives written notice of such failure to cure the same and an Event of Default shall not be deemed to exist during the Cure Period, provided further that if the Borrower commences to cure such failure during the Cure Period and is diligently and in good faith attempting to effect such cure, the Cure Period shall be extended for sixty (60) additional days, but in no event shall the Cure Period be longer than ninety (90) days in the aggregate; provided, however, that there shall be no obligation for the Bank to give notice and no right of Borrower to cure if the event or condition is either the institution of a voluntary bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership action, the giving of any material false or fraudulent representation to Bank, or the failure to keep the collateral free and clear of consensual liens not approved in writing in advance by Bank.

Section 8.2 Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur under this Loan Agreement, in addition to any other right and remedy which may be available to Bank and without limiting any other right and remedy granted to Bank in the Loan Documents, which rights and remedies are fully exercisable by Bank as and when provided in such other Loan Documents, Bank shall have the rights and remedies set forth below in this Section 8.2, any and all of which it may exercise at its election, without notice of its election and without demand – subject, however, to applicable notice or grace periods, if any. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Bank is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Loan Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Bank to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article VIII, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than notice required herein or by applicable law.

(a) Acceleration of Maturity. Bank may, at its option, accelerate and declare immediately due and payable the Note, as well as any of and all of the other Indebtedness and obligations owing under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are not already due hereunder and that are not already due thereunder. Bank hereby agrees to provide Borrower notice of such acceleration of the maturity of the Note, provided that the failure of Bank to provide such notice shall not impair its rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement or to the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, Bank may from time to time and at any time proceed to protect and enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents (including its absolute and unconditional right to recover full payment of any and all of the obligations owing by Borrower, as well as those owing by other Persons to Bank) by any one or more of the following: judicial and non-judicial foreclosure proceedings as against all and any part of the Collateral, without regard to the situs of such Collateral; suits in equity; actions at law; and other appropriate legal, equitable and administrative proceedings to enforce full payment.

(b) Bank’s Power of Enforcement. Bank may by appropriate actions and proceedings seek to do and have done any and all of the following: (1) to enforce through actions at law and proceedings in equity, or both, payment of all and any part or parts of the obligations owing by Borrower to Bank under the Loan Documents, the performance of any of the terms in any of the Loan Documents, and any other rights and remedies available to Bank; (2) to foreclose and to authorize the foreclosure of all and any part or parts of the Collateral, or interests therein, and to sell and have sold, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, at one or more sales, the Collateral, or parts thereof or interests therein, under the power of sale granted in the Loan Documents (to the extent permitted by law) or the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction; and (3) to pursue any other right and remedy available to it under the Loan Documents, at law and in equity. Bank may proceed either by such actions and proceedings or by the exercise of its powers with respect to entry and taking possession, or both, as Bank may determine in its discretion; and the same may be taken without regard to whether the Note (or any and all of the Notes if more than one) or any and all of the obligations owing to Bank under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable and without prejudice to the right of Bank thereafter to bring actions and proceedings for any default existing at the time any earlier action or proceeding was commenced. The taking of any action does not preclude Bank from taking subsequent action and Bank may continue taking subsequent actions at such time or times as it elects until the Loan and all other amounts owing to Bank under the Loan Documents are paid in full.

(i) Right to Possession. Borrower, upon demand of Bank, shall forthwith surrender to Bank the actual possession of all, or such part or parts of the Collateral, or interests therein, as Bank may direct; and if and to the extent permitted by law, Bank, through its own actions and through those of its agents, without any prior notice to Borrower and demand on Borrower, may enter and take possession of any and all of the Collateral, or interests therein, and may exclude Borrower and any other Persons wholly or partly therefrom – as Bank elects. If Bank takes possession of the Collateral or parts thereof or interests therein as aforesaid, Bank and Borrower shall have joint access to the books and records of Borrower – such joint access to be under and pursuant to procedures established by Bank, which procedures may call for Bank to possess the books and records with Borrower having access to them under the supervision of Bank. Upon Bank’s possession of any of the Collateral or parts thereof or interests therein, Borrower will pay monthly in advance to Bank, or to any receiver appointed to collect the rents, income, proceeds and other benefits of the Collateral, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Collateral as may be left in the actual possession of Borrower (not in lieu of, but in addition to, all amounts which may be owing under the Loan Documents to Bank); and upon default in any such payment, Borrower will vacate and surrender possession of such part of the Collateral to Bank or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

(ii) Action for Possession. If Borrower should fail for any reason to surrender possession or if Borrower should fail for any reason to deliver possession of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof or interests therein, to Bank after the earlier of Bank’s demand therefor or Bank’s attempt to gain possession without prior demand, Bank may obtain, without prior notice to Borrower and without Borrower having a hearing thereon, a judgment or decree conferring on Bank and Bank’s agents the right to immediate possession of all of the Collateral, or such part or parts thereof or interests therein, as Bank may elect, and a judgment or decree requiring Borrower to surrender and deliver immediate possession of all of the Collateral to Bank, or such part or parts thereof or interests therein, as Bank may elect. If Bank seeks such a judgment or decree, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ does hereby consent in advance to the entry of such judgment or decree without prior notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and without Borrower having a hearing thereon; Borrower reserving, however, the right to challenge at a subsequent time the existence of an Event of Default. Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon demand, all costs and expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Bank, its attorneys and agents; and all such costs and expenses shall, until paid, be secured by the lien and security interest of Bank in the Collateral, and shall be payable on demand with interest from date of demand at the highest contract rate payable under the Note.

(iii) Management of Collateral. Upon each and every entering into and taking of possession of the Collateral, or part or parts thereof or interests therein, by the Bank through its own actions and by the Bank through those of its agents and other Persons, Bank may directly and through its agents and other Persons, hold, store, use, operate, construct, install, complete, repair, restore, preserve, protect, manage and control all and any part or parts of, and interests in the Collateral, and conduct the business related thereto; and, without limiting the foregoing, from time to time and at any time, the Bank may do and the Bank may have done or direct the doing of any one or more of the following through itself, its agents and such other Persons as Bank deems appropriate under the circumstances:

(A) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements to the Premises and parts thereof, and in connection therewith, purchase and otherwise acquire fixtures, personal property and other types of property;

(B) insure and keep the Collateral and parts thereof insured;

(C) manage and operate the Collateral and parts thereof, and exercise all the rights and powers of Borrower in its name and otherwise with respect to the same;

(D) enter into agreements with others to exercise the powers herein granted Bank, all as Bank from time to time may determine; and

(E) collect and receive all the rents, income, proceeds and other benefits from, related to and arising out of the Collateral and each and all parts thereof and interests therein, including those past due, those currently due and those thereafter becoming due.

The powers granted to Bank in this Section 8.2 are and the same shall be deemed to be powers coupled with an interest, and cannot be revoked. All sums expended by Bank pursuant to any of the foregoing listed matters shall be deemed to have been disbursed to Borrower, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument and all other Loan Documents and shall be deemed a necessary expenditure for the preservation of Bank’s security, whether or not the amounts advanced or expended exceed the maximum amount of advances set forth in the Note and the Security Instrument. Borrower hereby also assigns and quitclaims to Bank all sums undisbursed under the Loan, such assignment and quitclaim to be effective only upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. The assignment and rights contained in this Section 8.2 shall be in addition to, and not in derogation of, the rights of Bank contained in any other Loan Document. In connection with its management of the Collateral as aforesaid, Bank shall apply any monies received by Bank in such priority as Bank may determine, or such priority as may be required under any Applicable Law, to: (1) payment of any and all of the obligations owing to Bank under the Loan Documents, including the Loan; (2) payment of any deposits for taxes, assessments and insurance premiums; (3) payment of the cost of insurance, taxes, assessments and other expenses and charges upon the Collateral or any parts thereof or interest therein, (4) payment of any amounts due and payable on any other Indebtedness of Borrower, whether prior or subsequent to the liens and security interest of Bank, (5) payment of the compensation, disbursements and costs and expenses of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Bank, (6) payment of any amounts deemed necessary by Bank to otherwise protect and preserve the Collateral and the lien and security interest of Bank and (7) payment of such other amounts as Bank deems necessary to assure to Bank the repayment of the Loan and all other obligations owing to Bank under the Loan Documents.

(d) Payments to Preserve Collateral. Bank, at its election, and without notice to Borrower, may, to protect and preserve its interest in the Collateral, and to assure repayment of the Loan and all other obligations owing under the Loan Documents, make any payments which Borrower has failed to make and any sum so paid shall be deemed an obligation secured by Bank’s security interest and be immediately due and payable from Borrower upon demand with interest thereon at the highest contract rate applicable under the Note, but such payment by Bank shall not release Borrower from its obligations or constitute a waiver of a default hereunder.

(e) Receiver. Bank, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the value, adequacy and occupancy of all or any part of the Collateral, or any interests therein, and without prior notice to Borrower and without Borrower having a hearing thereon, shall be entitled as a matter of right, if it so elects, to the appointment of a receiver or other similar official to: (1) enter upon and take possession of any and all of the Collateral and any interests therein, (2) preserve, protect, manage and control the Collateral or those parts or interests over which it takes possession; and (3) collect all rents, income, proceeds and other benefits thereof and apply the same as Bank directs, or if so required, as the court which appointed such receiver or other similar official may direct. The costs and expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be deemed an obligation of Borrower owing to Bank under this Loan Agreement and the same shall be secured by Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral and shall be payable upon demand with interest from the date of demand at the highest contract rate under the Note. Bank and any receiver or similar official appointed as provided herein shall be liable to account only for such rents, income, proceeds and other benefits actually received by Bank or such other Person, whether received pursuant to this Section 8.2 or under other provisions of this Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other similar official, Bank shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any money, deposits, accounts, account receivables, documents, chattel paper, documents of title, instruments, payment intangibles and other general intangibles and other property and property rights and interests at the present and any future time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of the Loan Documents to Bank.

(f) Set-off and Recoupment. Bank may, at its option and at any time or times without prior notice to Borrower, set-off and apply toward payment of the Loan and other amounts now owing and amounts which may become owing by Borrower under the Loan Documents, and otherwise exercise its rights of recoupment, as to any and all (1) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, (2) Indebtedness and other obligations at any time owing to or for the credit and account of Borrower by Bank and (3) Indebtedness and other obligations at any time owing to or for the credit and account of Borrower by any of Bank’s Affiliates.

(g) Suits to Protect the Collateral. Bank shall have the power and authority, at any time and from time to time, to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Bank may deem advisable in its judgment (1) to prevent the impairment or threatened impairment of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof or interests therein, by any acts and inactions which may be unlawful or which may be in breach of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, (2) to preserve and protect its interest in the Collateral and each and all parts thereof and interests therein, including its liens and security interests therein, and (3) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation and any other governmental enactment, rule and order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule and order might impair Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral, or be prejudicial to Bank’s interest in any other manner.

(h) Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition and other judicial proceedings affecting Borrower, any Person obligated on any of Borrower’s obligations, any of Borrower’s creditors and any of Borrower’s property, Bank, to the extent permitted by law and at any time or times, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower after such date.

(i) Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If Bank shall have proceeded to enforce any right and remedy under the Loan Documents by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such proceedings shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Bank, then and in every such case Borrower and Bank shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Bank shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been taken.

All exhibits, supplements, schedules, addenda and other attachments to this Loan Agreement are by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof as if fully set forth in the body of this Loan Agreement; provided, however, the failure to correctly complete any exhibit, supplement, schedule, addenda or attachment hereto shall not affect Borrower’s duties and Bank’s rights hereunder if such corrected information can be obtained from any of the other Loan Documents. The recitals set forth in this Loan Agreement are also a part of this Loan Agreement. The Customer and Loan Numbers, if any, stated in this Loan Agreement are for Bank’s internal business use and reference only and do not and shall not limit the scope and extent of Bank’s security interest or the Indebtedness and other obligations evidenced hereby, referenced herein and secured hereby. The captions herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Loan Agreement nor the intent of any provision hereof.

Section 9.2 Amendments. Subject to the exercise by Bank of its rights and remedies as set forth in this Loan Agreement and without limiting any of such rights and remedies, this Loan Agreement may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged and terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Bank, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge and termination is sought.

Section 9.3 Assignment, Ownership. The terms, provisions and conditions in this Loan Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives of the parties hereto; provided, however, Borrower shall not assign this Loan Agreement and any of its rights, interests, duties and obligations hereunder (inclusive of the proceeds of the Loan and other moneys to be advanced under or on account of this Loan Agreement) in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Bank, and any such assignment (whether voluntary or by operation of law) without said consent shall be void. Provided, further, there shall be no change in the control of Borrower unless Bank, in its reasonable discretion, has given its prior written approval. It is expressly recognized and agreed that Bank may assign, sell or transfer this Loan Agreement, the Note and any other Loan Documents, in whole or in part, to any Person and, in the event of such assignment, Bank shall thereafter be relieved of all liability hereunder to the extent of the assignment or transfer.

Section 9.4 Conflict. It is the intention of the parties that this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents be interpreted in a consistent manner; provided, however, in the event of any irreconcilable conflict in the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control.

Section 9.5 Benefit. This Loan Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Bank and Borrower, their successors and assigns, all third party beneficiary rights are expressly negated, and no other Person or Persons shall have any right to action hereon or rights to the Loan proceeds at any time, nor shall Bank owe any duty whatsoever to any claimant for labor performed or material furnished in connection with the construction of the Improvements, if any, or to apply any undisbursed portion of the Loan to the payment of any such claim, or to exercise any right or power of Bank hereunder or arising from any Default Condition or Event of Default by Borrower.

Section 9.6 No Partnership, Joint Venture or Agency. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not in any respect be interpreted, deemed or construed as making Bank a partner or joint venturer with Borrower, nor shall they or any of them be interpreted, deemed or construed as making Bank the agent or representative of Borrower. The relationship of Bank to Borrower is that of a creditor to an obligor or debtor; and in furtherance thereof and in explanation thereof, Bank has no fiduciary, trust, guardian, representative, partnership, joint venturer and other similar relationship to or with Borrower and no such relationship shall be drawn and implied from any of the Loan Documents or any of Bank’s actions and inactions hereunder or with respect hereto – and, Bank has no obligation to Borrower and any other Person relative to administration of the Loan and administration of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof or interests therein. In no event shall Bank be liable for debts and claims accruing or arising against Borrower.

Section 9.7 Disputes. Where disputes have arisen which, in the reasonable opinion of Bank, may endanger fulfillment of any condition precedent or covenant herein, Bank may agree to disburse Loan proceeds for the account of Borrower without prejudice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights, if any, to recover said proceeds from the party to whom paid. Such agreement or agreements may take the form which Bank, in its reasonable discretion, deems proper, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agreements to indemnify (on behalf of Borrower) any title insurer against possible assertion of lien claims, agreements to pay disputed amounts and the like. All sums paid or agreed to be paid pursuant to such undertaking shall be advances of Loan proceeds.

Section 9.8 Power of Attorney. Upon an Event of Default, Borrower does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Bank its true and lawful attorney with full power of substitution, for it and in its name, place and stead, to execute, deliver and file such agreements, documents, notices, statements and records, to include, without limitation, Financing Statements, and to do and undertake such other acts as Bank, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and to otherwise protect and preserve the security of the lien and security interests in the Collateral, and Bank’s interests therein. The foregoing appointment is and the same shall be coupled with an interest in favor of Bank.

Section 9.9 Indemnity. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and each and all of Bank’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (individually and collectively, “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred in the investigation and defense of any matter) (“Indemnified Liabilities”) asserted against, imposed upon and incurred by the Indemnified Parties, both direct and indirect and regardless of the basis of the Indemnified Liabilities (i.e., whether based on federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, common law, an equitable cause, contract, tort or otherwise), as a result of or arising from or relating to any one or more of (1) this Loan Agreement, (2) the other Loan Documents, (3) the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement, (4) any credit extended or used hereunder, (5) any act done or omitted by any Person, or any event occurring in connection therewith, and (6) the exercise of any rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement and the exercise of any rights and remedies under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Collateral by Bank by way of foreclosure of the lien and security interests thereon, deed in lieu of such foreclosure or otherwise, except in all of the instances enumerated in (1) through (6), the indemnification obligations of Borrower shall not extend to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person otherwise to be indemnified hereunder. In the event this indemnity is unenforceable as a matter of law as to a particular matter or consequence referred to herein, it shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law. The obligations of Borrower under this Section are independent of all other rights and obligations set forth herein and shall survive the payment of the Loan and the termination of this Loan Agreement.

Section 9.10 Payment of Expenses. Without limiting any other provision of this Loan Agreement relating to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s payment of costs and expenses incurred by Bank and those incurred by others on behalf of Bank, but in addition thereto, whether or not the Loan is made and all of the Loan proceeds disbursed, Borrower shall pay to Bank, on demand, each and all of any costs and expenses incurred by Bank, incurred by others on behalf of Bank and incurred by Bank for Borrower: (1) in order to meet Bank’s requirements in connection with the Loan, (2) in connection with the making of the Loan, and (3) in connection with the enforcement of Bank’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, including, payments to third persons of amounts Borrower is required to pay to such third persons under and pursuant to the terms of any of the Loan Documents, protecting Bank’s interest in the Collateral, collecting any amount owing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and owing by other Persons under the Loan Documents and in enforcing its rights under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall be paid with interest thereon at the highest contract rate prescribed in the Note from the date paid or incurred by or on behalf of Bank until such costs and expenses are paid by Borrower. All sums so paid and expended by Bank, and the interest thereon, shall be added to and be secured by Bank’s lien and security interests in the Collateral.

Section 9.11 Documentary and Intangible Taxes; Additional Costs. To the extent not prohibited by law and notwithstanding who is liable for payment of the taxes or fees, Borrower shall pay, on Bank’s demand, (1) all intangible personal property taxes, documentary stamp taxes, excise taxes and other similar taxes assessed, charged and required to be paid in connection with the Loan and any extension, renewal and modification thereof, and (2) all intangible personal property taxes, documentary stamp taxes, excise taxes and other similar taxes assessed, charged and required to be paid in connection with this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, and any extension, renewal and modification of any of the foregoing. If, with respect to this Loan Agreement and the transactions hereunder, any Applicable Law (x) subjects Bank to any tax (except federal, state and local income taxes on the overall net income of Bank), (y) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit and other similar requirement against assets held by, deposits in, and loans by Bank, or (z) imposes upon Bank any other condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Bank, reduce the income receivable by Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to the Loan, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense within thirty (30) days following presentation by Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth Bank’s calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error.

Section 9.12 Marshalling of Assets. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisal, homestead, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now in force and any which may in the future come to be in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Loan Documents of the Collateral, or any part or parts thereof or any interests therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and on behalf of each and every Person acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Loan Agreement and on behalf of all other Persons to the extent permitted by law, any or all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Loan Agreement.

Section 9.13 Waiver of Statutory Rights Borrower waives any right to require Bank to bring any action against any other Person and to require that resort be had to any security and to any balances of any deposit or other accounts on the books of Bank in favor of any other Person; and, without limiting the foregoing, but in furtherance thereof, Borrower waives any rights Borrower otherwise might have or may have in the future under North Carolina General Statute Section 26-7, et seq., and any other laws that require or may require Bank to recover against some other Person, or to realize upon any security which Bank holds for the Loan. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also waives any and all right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement and indemnity whatsoever and any right of recourse to and with respect to the assets and property of any Person that is or may be security for the Loan.

Section 9.14 Jury, Venue, Jurisdiction. This Loan Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered in the State of North Carolina, regardless of where the signatories may be located at the time of execution. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the aforesaid jurisdiction, excluding, however, the conflict of law and choice of law provisions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any of the Collateral is located in another jurisdiction or other jurisdictions, the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Collateral is located shall govern with respect to Bank’s and Borrower’s rights in and to Collateral located in such other jurisdictions and Bank’s remedies relative thereto. Borrower: (1) to the extent permitted by law, waives any right to a trial by jury in any action arising from or related to this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents; (2) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of the State of North Carolina; and (3) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent Borrower may effectively do so, the defense of improper venue or an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Nothing in this Section shall affect or impair Bank’s right to serve legal process in any manner permitted by law or Bank’s right to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or Borrower’s property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.15 Cumulative Rights. The rights, powers and remedies of Bank under this Loan Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Bank by virtue of any Applicable Law, those given in equity, those given to Bank under the other Loan Documents and those given under any other agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised by Bank from time to time and at any number of times successively, concurrently and alternatively without impairing Bank’s rights under this Loan Agreement and under any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.16 No Waiver; No Course of Dealing; No Invalidity. No delay or forbearance by Bank in exercising any and all of its rights and remedies under this Loan Agreement and those under any of the other Loan Documents, and no delay or forbearance of Bank in exercising any and all rights and remedies otherwise afforded by law and in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude the exercise thereof during the continuance of any Default Condition or Event of Default as set forth herein or in the event of any subsequent Default Condition or Event of Default hereunder. If Bank is requested to waive a Default Condition or an Event of Default or forbear taking action relative thereto, Bank may condition any waiver or forbearance it elects to grant Borrower on payment by Borrower of such fees to Bank as Bank deems appropriate under the circumstances and may condition any such waiver or forbearance on Borrower reimbursing Bank for all costs and expenses Bank incurs in connection with such waiver or forbearance. Also, no act or inaction of Bank under this Loan Agreement and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute or establish a “course of performance or dealing” that would require Bank to so act or refrain from acting in any particular manner at a later time under similar or dissimilar circumstances. Wherever possible each provision of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Loan Agreement and if any provision of any of the other Loan Documents shall be prohibited or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement and those of the other Loan Documents, or the application thereof shall be in a manner and to an extent permissible under Applicable Law.

Section 9.17 Maintenance of Bank’s Records. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank is authorized to maintain, store and otherwise retain the Loan Documents in their original, inscribed tangible form or a record thereof in an electronic medium or other non-tangible medium which permits such record to be retrieved in a perceivable form; that a record of any of the Loan Documents in a non-tangible medium which is retrievable in a perceivable form shall be the agreement of Borrower to the same extent as if such Loan Document was in its original, inscribed tangible medium and such a record shall be binding on and enforceable against Borrower notwithstanding the same is in a non-tangible form and notwithstanding the signatures of the signatories hereof or thereof are electronic, typed, printed, computer generated, facsimiles or other reproductions, representations and forms; and that Bank’s certification that a non-tangible record of any of the Loan Documents is an accurate and complete copy or reproduction of the original, inscribed tangible form shall be conclusive, absent clear and convincing evidence of the incorrectness of said certification, and such non-tangible record or a reproduction thereof shall be deemed an original and have the same force and effect as the original, inscribed tangible form.

Section 9.18 Credit Investigations; Sharing of Information; Control Agreements. Bank is irrevocably authorized by Borrower to make and have made such credit investigations as it deems appropriate to evaluate ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s credit and financial standing not more than once every twelve months unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and Borrower authorizes Bank to share with consumer reporting agencies and creditors its experiences with Borrower and other information in Bank’s possession relative to Borrower. Bank shall not have any obligation and responsibility to (1) provide information to any third persons relative to Bank’s security interest in the Collateral, this Loan Agreement and otherwise with respect to Borrower, (2) subordinate its liens and security interests in the Collateral to the interests of any Person, and (3) enter into control agreements relative to the Collateral.

Section 9.19 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Bank may at any time or times during the term of this Loan Agreement make such payments and do or cause to be done such acts as Bank considers necessary or advisable to protect the Collateral and to preserve, protect and perfect or continue the perfection of its security interest in the Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not be liable and responsible for the Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein, and without limiting the foregoing, Bank shall not have any responsibility for any one or more of the following: (1) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (2) any loss and damage occurring to the Collateral, regardless of the cause for such loss and damage, (3) any diminution in the value of the Collateral, and (4) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency and other Person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage and destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

Section 9.20 Publicity. Bank shall have the right to secure printed publicity through newspaper and other media concerning the Premises and source of financing.

Section 9.21 Execution in Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and in making proof of this Loan Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart (subject always to the provisions of Section 9.17 relating to maintenance of records).

Section 9.22 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Loan Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given (i) if mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested; (ii) by delivering same in person to the intended addressee; (iii) by delivery to a reputable independent third party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery and providing for evidence of receipt at the office of the intended addressee; or (iv) sent via email (so long as notice is also sent by at least one other method set forth herein).
