          2.1.4 Use of Proceeds .

34


 
          2.1.5 Advances .

No Advances shall be made to pay for Affiliate Fees.
          2.1.6 Cost Overruns . If Borrower becomes aware of any change in actual or projected Project-Related Costs which will increase any one or more category or line item of costs reflected in the Development Budget, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing and promptly submit to Lender for its approval a revised Development Budget. Any reallocation of any category or line items in the Development Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Lender’s approval in Lender’s sole discretion except as set forth in Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33 , provided, however, under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted, or Lender obligated to approve, the reallocation of line items from the Building Loan Budget to the Project Loan Budget. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances unless and until the revised Development Budget so submitted by Borrower is approved by Lender and Borrower has satisfied its obligations with respect to any resulting Shortfall under Section 2.1.10 . Lender reserves the right to approve or disapprove any revised Development Budget in its sole and absolute discretion (except with respect to reallocations in accordance with Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33 ).
          2.1.7 Contingency Reserve . Following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, and subject to the prior approval of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower may revise the Building Loan Budget to move (i) amounts available under any Line Item for Hard Costs that are designated to “Contingency” to other Line Items for Hard Costs in the Building Loan Budget, or (ii) amounts available under any Line Item for Soft Costs that are designated “Contingency” to other Line Items for Soft Costs in the Building Loan Budget. Any cost savings shall be allocated in accordance with Section 5.1.33 hereof. In no event may the Contingency Line Item of the Building Loan Budget be reallocated to any Line Item in the Project Loan Budget. The Contingency Line Item in the Building Loan Budget for Hard Costs shall contain at least five percent (5%) of the total projected Hard Costs, separate from the Contingency Line Items in the Project Loan Budget.
          2.1.8 Stored Materials . Lender shall not be required to disburse any funds for any materials, machinery or other Personal Property not yet incorporated into the Project Improvements (the “ Stored Materials ”), unless the following conditions are satisfied:
          (a) Borrower shall deliver to Lender bills of sale or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the cost of, and, subject to the payment therefor, Borrower’s title in and to such Stored Materials;
          (b) The Stored Materials are identified to the Property and Borrower, are segregated so as to adequately give notice to all third parties of Borrower’s title in and to such materials, and are components in substantially final form ready for incorporation into the Project Improvements;

35


 
          (c) The Stored Materials are stored at the Property or at such other third-party owned and operated site as Lender shall reasonably approve, and are protected against theft and damage in a manner satisfactory to Lender, including, if requested by Lender, storage in a bonded warehouse in the greater metropolitan area in which the Property is located;
          (d) The Stored Materials will be paid for in full with the funds to be disbursed, and all lien rights or claims of the supplier will be released upon full payment;
          (e) Lender has or will have upon payment with disbursed funds a perfected, first priority security interest in the Stored Materials;
          (f) The Stored Materials are insured for an amount equal to their replacement costs in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement;
          (g) The aggregate cost of Stored Materials stored at the Property is approved by the Construction Consultant and, if required by Lender, the Construction Consultant shall certify that it has inspected such Stored Materials and they are in good condition and suitable for use in connection with the Project Improvements; and
          (h) The aggregate cost of Stored Materials stored on the Property at any one time shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the maximum amount of the Loan and the aggregate cost of Stored Materials stored off the Property at any one time shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the maximum amount of the Loan.
          2.1.9 Amount of Advances . In no event shall any Advance exceed the full amount of Building Loan Costs theretofore paid or to be paid with the proceeds of such Advance plus any Building Loan Costs incurred by Borrower through the date of the Draw Request for such Advance minus (i) the applicable Retainage for each Contract and Subcontract, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any Advances previously made by Lender. It is further understood that the Retainage described above is intended to provide a contingency fund protecting Lender against failure of Borrower or Guarantor to fulfill any obligations under the Loan Documents, and that Lender may charge amounts to pay for Building Loan Costs against such Retainage in the event Lender is required or elects to expend funds to cure any Default or Event of Default, in either instance, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Advance of the Loan by Lender shall be deemed to be an approval or acceptance by the Lender of any work performed thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.
          2.1.10 Loan-In-Balance . As used herein, a “ Shortfall ” shall mean, as to any Line Item in the Development Budget as of any date, the amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole but reasonable judgment, by which (A) the cost of completing or satisfying such Line Item, exceeds (B) the remaining undisbursed portion of the Loan allocated to such Line Item in the Development Budget plus any sums deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.10 to pay for such Line Item and not previously disbursed plus any Reserve Funds to the extent such Reserve Funds are available hereunder for the payment of such Line Item. From time to time and at any time during the Construction Period, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Borrower that it has determined a Shortfall exists as to any one or more Line Items. If Lender at any time shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall, at its option within

36


 
five (5) days of Lender’s notification as aforesaid, either: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such Shortfall, which Lender disburse to Borrower to the satisfaction of the costs of such Line Item prior to advancing any further Loan proceeds on account of such costs; (ii) post an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of such Shortfall, in favor of Lender; (iii) to the extent permitted under Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33 , and following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions allocate the Contingency Reserve, with respect to the Line Item(s) in question, to the Shortfall, and provided, further that the amount of the remaining Contingency Reserve for such Line Item(s) (following the allocation to the Shortfall) is sufficient for such Line Item(s), as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; and (iv) to the extent permitted under Section 5.1.33 , and then only following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, reallocate cost savings from the Development Budget in respect of the Loan (or other reallocations which are approved by Lender, in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only to the extent such cost savings can be allocated to the related Line Items. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and security interest in, for the benefit of Lender, any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs as approved by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances of proceeds of the Loan as to any Line Item until the sums required to be deposited pursuant to clause (i) above as to such Line Item have been exhausted, or until Borrower has posted an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii ) above, as the case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance”. Any such sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the remaining Project-Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur, Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining Project-Related Costs or to the immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or interest under the Note.
          2.1.11 Quality of Work . No Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any contractor that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or part of any Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender believes it advisable to do so, and all such Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
          2.1.12 Required Equity Funds . All Required Equity Funds shall be contributed (i.e. , expended by Borrower and invested by Borrower in the Property, for Project—Related Costs set forth on the approved Development Budget) before the Closing Date.
          2.1.13 Trust Fund . Pursuant to Section 13 of the New York Lien Law, Borrower shall receive the Advances hereunder and shall hold the right to receive the Advances as a trust fund to be applied first for the purpose of paying the Costs of the Improvements and shall apply the Advances first to the payment of the Cost of the Improvements on the Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.
          2.1.14 Final Project Report and Development Budget . Attached hereto as Schedule II is Borrower’s detailed and definitive budget of all Project-Related Costs to be incurred by Borrower during the Construction Term and that will be disbursed out of Loan

37


 
proceeds subject to availability and satisfaction of all applicable conditions to Advances hereunder and under the Project Loan Agreement, being so indicated, delineated by each category of Project-Related Costs (each a “ Line Item ” or “ Budget Line ”) and further broken down to segregate Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs, which budget has been approved by Lender and Construction Consultant (the “ Development Budget ”). The portion of the Development Budget that includes only Building Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “ Building Loan Budget ” and the portion of the Development Budget that includes only Project Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “ Project Loan Budget .”
          2.1.15 Miscellaneous .
          (a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
          (b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDER DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.
     Section 2.2 Interest Rate .
          2.2.1 Interest Rate . Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate calculated as set forth in Section 2.2.2 below.
          2.2.2 Interest Calculation . Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
          2.2.3 Default Rate . In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

38


 
          2.2.4 Usury Savings . This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
     Section 2.3 Loan Payment .
          2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments . Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and including the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2007, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2008 and thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the Interest Rate, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, on the 15 th calendar day of the month preceding each Payment Date during the Construction Term: (a) if and to the extent undrawn funds remain available for Advance under the Project Loan from the Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget, and provided that that no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents or would occur as a result of such Project Loan Advance, the Monthly Debt Service Amount then due and owing shall be advanced by Lender by a Project Loan Advance under Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget; and (b) if no amount remains available under the Interest Reserve Line Item but and to the extent Interest Reserve Funds are on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists under any of the Loan Documents, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount then due and payable shall be paid by application of funds from the Interest Reserve Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that Lender may automatically make a Project Loan Advance or apply Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account on each Payment Date occurring during the Construction Term, in either instance, in accordance with this Section 2.3.1 , without the need for Borrower to submit a Draw Request or otherwise request such an Advance or application.
          2.3.2 Payments Generally . The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and shall end on and include December 31, 2007. Thereafter

39


 
each Interest Period shall commence on the first (1 st ) day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
          2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date . Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
          2.3.4 Late Payment Charge . If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
          2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
     Section 2.4 Prepayments .
          2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.2 , Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing after the Payment Date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the “ Open Period Date ”), or on any Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
          2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments . On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not

40


 
obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest through the end of the related Interest Period and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided , however , if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 .
          2.4.3 Prepayments After Default . If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Default Premium.
          2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date . If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “ Prepayment Date ”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.
          2.4.5 Application of Prepayments to Components . Any prepayment of the principal of the Loan, in whole or in part, voluntary or involuntary, shall be applied (a) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Project Loan until reduced to zero, and (b) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Building Loan until reduced to zero. Subsequent to any Event of Default, any payment of principal from whatever source may be applied by Lender between the various components of the Loan in Lender’s sole discretion.
     Section 2.5 Defeasance .
          2.5.1 Voluntary Defeasance (a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Expiration Date and prior to the date voluntary prepayments are permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a “ Defeasance Event ”)

41


 
     (i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the “ Defeasance Date ”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
     (ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date. If for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the Note through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the next Payment Date, provided , however , if the Defeasance Deposit shall include short-term interest computed from the date of such prepayment through to the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay such short term interest pursuant to this sentence;
     (iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;
     (iv) Borrower shall use the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations in accordance with Section 2.5.1(b) below;

     (vi) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that Borrower has legally and validly transferred and assigned the U.S. Obligations and all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note to the Successor Borrower, that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations delivered by Borrower and that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such Defeasance Event;
     (vii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from each of the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the Securities issued in connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding. If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be delivered an Additional Insolvency Opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies;

42


 
     (viii) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5.1(a) have been satisfied;

Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the Clearing Account (unless otherwise directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the Debt Service obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.5 and satisfy Borrower’s other obligations under this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 shall be remitted to Borrower.

In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower shall establish a successor entity (the “ Successor Borrower ”), which shall be a Special Purpose Entity, which shall not own any other assets or have any other liabilities or operate other property (except in connection with other defeased loans held in the same securitized loan pool with the Loan). Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such documents. Borrower shall pay One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000) to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note in accordance with this Section 2.5.3 , but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses and any fees and expenses of any Rating Agencies, incurred in connection therewith.
     Section 2.6 Release of Property . Except as set forth in this Section 2.6 , no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.
          2.6.1 Release of Property .
          (a) If Borrower has elected to defease the Loan and the requirements of Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6 have been satisfied, all of the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the U.S. Obligations, pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note.
          (b) In connection with the release of the Mortgage, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Property for execution by Lender.

In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The portion of the Final Advance described in clause (c) of the foregoing sentence is referred to herein as the “ Building Loan Earn Out Advance ” and the corresponding portion of the Final Project Loan Advance is referred to herein as the “ Project Loan Earn Out Advance ” and together with the Building Loan Earn Out Advance, the “ Earn Out Advances ”.

If the Required Ratios at Completion cannot be achieved even if the Earn Out Advances are reduced to $0.00 and the deposits, if any under the Rate Lock Agreement and the Interest Reserve Funds are applied to the payment of the Loan, Borrower shall deposit with Lender Cash or a Letter of Credit satisfactory to Lender in an amount equal to the amount which, if used to pay down the Loan, would result in Stabilized Loan-to-Value Ratio of 75%, and a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.70 to 1.0, calculated based upon Lender’s determination on a pro-forma basis of Lender’s Stabilized Net Cash Flow for the

          2.14.6 Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver . No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make further Advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default hereunder.
          2.14.7 Trust Fund Provisions . All proceeds advanced hereunder shall be subject to the trust fund provisions of Section 13 of the Lien Law.

impose upon Lender and/or Construction Consultant any obligation or liability whatsoever with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation or liability that might arise as a result of such work not being performed in accordance with applicable laws and/or requirements of public authorities or with the Plans and Specifications (and revisions thereto) approved by Lender and Construction Consultant or otherwise. The review or approval by Lender and Construction Consultant of any Plans and Specifications or any revisions thereto is solely for Lender’s benefit, and is without any representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to the adequacy, correctness or efficiency thereof or otherwise.
