association as Administrative Agent (the "Administrative Agent"); and Grande
Palms, L.L.C., a Delaware single purpose, single asset limited liability company
("Borrower"), who agree as follows:

to them in the Basic Information set forth in Exhibit "B" (the "Basic
Information"). This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, which must be in
form, detail and substance satisfactory to Lenders, evidence the agreements of
Borrower and Lenders with respect to the Loan. Borrower shall comply with all of
the Loan Documents.
1.2 Purpose. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used by Borrower to pay (i)
the cost of the construction of the Improvements on the Land and (ii) other
fees, costs and expenses relating to the Property if and to the extent that such
costs are specifically provided for in the Loan Allocation column in the Budget.
The maximum principal Loan amount shall be $69,800,000.00 (the "Loan Amount"),
the proceeds of which shall be used to develop the Project, which amount shall
be evidenced by the Note. The Loan Amount shall be reduced, if the actual
2
<PAGE>
costs of construction are below the Loan allocations set forth in the Budget
(as hereinafter defined), by an amount equal to the difference between the cost
of construction set forth in the Budget and the actual cost of construction.
The Note shall be in the maximum principal amount of $69,800,000.00.
1.3 Commitment to Lend. Borrower agrees to borrow the Loan from Lenders,
and each Lender severally agrees to make advances of its Pro Rata Share of the
Loan proceeds to Borrower in amounts at any one time outstanding not to exceed
such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan and (except for Administrative Agent
with respect to Administrative Agent Advances), on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement and Exhibit "C", Exhibit "C-1" and
Exhibit "F" attached to this Agreement. Lender's commitment to lend shall expire
and terminate (a) automatically if the Loan is prepaid in full; and (b)
automatically upon the occurrence of a Default. The Loan is not revolving. Any
amount repaid may not be reborrowed.
1.4 Budget. Loan funds are allocated to payment of the costs of the
Project shown in the "Loan Allocation" column of the Budget attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit "D". Borrower shall not amend the Budget, or otherwise
reallocate Loan funds from one Budget line item to another, in an amount in
excess of $500,000.00 per occurrence subject to an aggregate total of
$5,000,000.00 without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Budget has been
prepared by Borrower, and Borrower represents to Administrative Agent and
Lenders that the Budget constitutes Borrower's good faith estimate of all costs
incident to the Loan and the Project through the stated maturity date of the
Loan (collectively, the "Aggregate Cost") after taking into account the
requirements of this Agreement, including "hard" and "soft" costs, fees and
expenses. Unless approved by Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, no advance shall be made (a) for any cost not
set forth in the Budget, (b) from any line item in the Budget that, when added
to all prior advances from that line item, would exceed the lesser of (i) the
actual cost incurred by Borrower for such line item, or (ii) the sum shown in
the "Loan Allocation" column in the Budget for such line item (subject to
Borrower's ability to reallocate such items as set forth in Section 1.4 herein),
(c) from any contingency line item in excess of the amount of such line item, or
(d) [Reserved]. Except for Borrower's ability to reallocate items as set forth
in Section 1.4 herein, advances from any line item in the Budget for purposes
other than those for which amounts are initially allocated to such line item, or
changes in the relative amounts allocated to particular line items in the Budget
may only be made with Administrative Agent's approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
1.5 Borrower's Equity and Borrower's Deposit. Prior to the Closing Date
and at all times during the term of the Loan, Administrative Agent must be
satisfied that the actual Aggregate Cost does not exceed the total amount of the
Loan plus the amounts of all equity investments in the Project made by Borrower
for which funds are readily available. Administrative Agent reserves the right
to require, at Borrower's expense, a construction cost takeoff by a consultant
designated by Administrative Agent to assist in making such determination. If at
any time Administrative Agent determines that the sum of: (1) any unadvanced
portion of the Loan to which Borrower is entitled, plus (ii) the portions of the
Aggregate Cost that are to be paid by Borrower from other funds that, to
Administrative Agent's satisfaction, are available, set aside and committed, is
or will be insufficient to pay the actual
3
<PAGE>
unpaid Aggregate Cost, Borrower shall, within seven (7) days after written
notice from Administrative Agent, (i) cause Guarantor to sign an acknowledgment,
in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, that the Guaranty shall cover such
shortages, or (ii) deposit with Agent equity funds in cash with Administrative
Agent the amount of the deficiency ("Borrower's Deposit") in an interest-bearing
account of Administrative Agent's selection with interest earned thereon to be
part of Borrower's Deposit, or shall submit evidence to Administrative Agent of
equity investments previously made, in amounts sufficient, in Administrative
Agent's opinion, to equal any such shortage and Administrative Agent may refuse
to make any additional advances under the Loan Documents until such Guarantor's
acknowledgment or additional equity funds have been received. Any such
Borrower's Deposit is hereby pledged to Administrative Agent and Lenders as
additional security for the Loan, and Borrower hereby grants and conveys to
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders
a security interest in all funds so deposited with Administrative Agent, as
additional security for the Loan. Administrative Agent may advance all or a
portion of the Borrower's Deposit prior to the Loan proceeds. Administrative
Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) apply all or any part of Borrower's
Deposit against the unpaid Indebtedness in such order as Administrative Agent
determines.
1.6 Evidence of Debt.
1.6.1 Amounts of the Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative
Agent in the ordinary course of business The accounts or records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error of the amount of the Loan made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower
hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error.
1.7 Interest Rate.
1.7.1 Initial Interest Rate. Initially, the Principal Debt from day to day
outstanding which is not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of
interest equal to the Eurodollar Daily Rate plus two hundred twenty-five (225)
basis points per annum.
1.7.2 Reduction of Interest Rate. Upon the achievement of all of the
following, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at a
fluctuating rate of interest equal to the Eurodollar Daily Rate plus two hundred
(200) basis points per annum:
(i) the Improvements shall be fifty-five percent (55%) complete, as
evidenced by AIA certification from the Project architect; and
(ii) no monetary Default has occurred and no Default has occurred
and is continuing under the Loan.

<PAGE>
1.7.3 General Interest Rate Provisions.
(a) The "Eurodollar Daily Rate" shall mean a fluctuating rate of interest
equal to the one month rate of interest (rounded upwards, if necessary to the
nearest 1/100 of 1%).appearing on Telerate Page 3750 ("Telerate Page 3750" means
the British Bankers Association Libor Rates (determined at 11:00 a.m. London,
England time) that are published by Bridge Information Systems, Inc.) or any
successor page as the one month, two month or three month London interbank
offered rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London
time) on the second preceding Business Day, as adjusted from time to time in
Administrative Agent's sole discretion for then applicable reserve requirements,
deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. If for any reason
such rate is not available, the term "Eurodollar Daily Rate" shall mean the
fluctuating rate of interest equal to the one month, two month or three month
rate of interest (rounded upwards, if necessary to the nearest 1/100 of 1%)
appearing on Reuters Screen LIBO Page as the one month, two month, or three
month London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the second preceding Business Day, as
adjusted from time to time in Administrative Agent's sole discretion for then
applicable reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other
regulatory costs; provided, however, if more than one rate is specified on
Reuters Screen LIBO Page, the applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean of
all such rates.
(b) If Administrative Agent determines that no adequate basis exists for
determining the Eurodollar Daily Rate or that any applicable law or regulation
or compliance therewith by Administrative Agent prohibits or restricts or makes
impossible the charging of interest based on the Eurodollar Daily Rate and
Administrative Agent so notifies Borrower, then until Administrative Agent
notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal
balance of the Loan from the date Administrative Agent so notifies Borrower
until the Maturity Date of the Loan (whether by acceleration, declaration,
extension or otherwise) at a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the Prime
Rate of Administrative Agent plus or minus such amount as may be necessary to
approximate the rate per annum last assessed pursuant to this Section. The term
"Prime Rate" means, on any day, the rate of interest per annum then most
recently established by Administrative Agent as its "prime rate". Any such rate
is a general reference rate of interest, may not be related to any other rate,
and may not be the lowest or best rate actually charged by Administrative Agent
to any customer or a favored rate and may not correspond with future increases
or decreases in interest rates charged by other lenders or market rates in
general, and that Administrative Agent may make various business or other loans
at rates of interest having no relationship to such rate. Each time the Prime
Rate changes, the per annum rate of interest on the Loan shall change
immediately and contemporaneously with such change in the Prime Rate.
(c) Computations and Determinations. All interest shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). Administrative Agent shall
determine each interest rate applicable to the Principal Debt in accordance with
this Agreement and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. The books and records of Administrative Agent shall be prima
facie evidence of all sums owing to Lenders from time to time under this Loan,
but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect the
obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
5
<PAGE>
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Past Due Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts
(including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand, at
a rate per annum (the "Past Due Rate") equal to four percent (4%) per annum in
excess of the interest rate in effect at the time of payment default. Provided,
there is no Default and in accordance with the Budget, Lender shall pay itself
interest from the Loan Proceeds when due and payable.
1.8 Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the principal balance of this Loan, in
full at any time or in part from time to time without premium or penalty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower at any time enters into an interest
rate protection agreement whereby Borrower has purchased an interest protection
product from Administrative Agent (an "Interest Rate Protection Agreement") and
the Interest Rate Protection Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent a prepayment fee calculated in accordance with the
prepayment fee described in the Interest Rate Protection Agreement.
1.9 [Reserved].
1.10 Late Charge. If Borrower shall fail to make any payment due hereunder
or under the terms of any Note (other than payments of interest to be funded by
Lender to itself in accordance with the Budget as an Advance under the Loan)
within fifteen (15) days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay
to the applicable Lender or Lenders on demand a late charge equal to four
percent (4%) of such payment. Such fifteen (15) day period shall not be
construed as in any way extending the due date of any payment. The "late charge"
is imposed for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a Lender incident to
handling such defaulting payment. This charge shall be in addition to, and not
in lieu of, any other remedy Lenders may have and is in addition to any fees and
charges of any agents or attorneys which Administrative Agent or Lenders may
employ upon the occurrence of a Default, whether authorized herein or by law.
1.11 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of
Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar
charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of
Administrative Agent and any Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net
income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the
jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or
maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If Borrower shall be
required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
under any Loan Document to Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section), Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower
shall make such deductions, (iii)
6
<PAGE>
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days
after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent
(which shall forward the same to such Lender) evidence of payment thereof.
(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future
stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or
charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan
Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter
referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Borrower agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender for
the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section)
paid by Administrative Agent and such Lender and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in
each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Tribunal. Payment under this subsection (d)
shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative
Agent makes a demand therefor.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section
shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of all
the other Obligations.
1.12 Payment Schedule and Maturity Date.
(a) The principal of the Loan shall be due and payable in the form of
Release Fees as described more particularly in paragraph (b) below. The entire
principal balance of the Loan then unpaid and all accrued interest then unpaid

shall be due and payable on the 15th day of the calendar month for the previous
calendar month after the date of this Agreement, and Administrative Agent shall
pay Lenders interest each month as an advance on the Loan, until all principal
and accrued interest owing on this Loan shall have been fully paid and
satisfied.

of its mortgage upon (i) satisfaction of all requirements set forth in the

1.13 Advances and Payments.
(a) Following receipt of a Draw Request, Administrative Agent shall
promptly provide each Lender with a copy of the Draw Request Form in the form of
Exhibit 7-l", the related AIA Document G-702 and G-703, with written
certification by Borrower's Architect thereon and, if available, the related
written certification of the Construction Consultant. Administrative Agent shall
notify one designated person at each Lender telephonically (with confirmation by
facsimile) or by facsimile (with confirmation by telephone) not later than 1:00
p.m. Administrative Agent's Time one (1) Business Day prior to the advance
Funding Date for all advances of its Pro Rata Share of the Amount Administrative
Agent has determined shall be advanced in connection therewith ("Advance
Amount"). In the case of an advance of the Loan, each Lender shall make the
funds for its Pro Rata Share of the Advance Amount available to Administrative
Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Administrative Agent's Time on the Funding Date
thereof. After Administrative Agent's receipt of the Advance Amount from
Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make proceeds of the Loan in an amount equal
to the Advance Amount (or, if less, such portion of the Advance Amount that
shall have been paid to Administrative Agent by Lenders in accordance with the
terms hereof) available to Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by advancing
such funds to Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit "F".
(b) All payments by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction
for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. Administrative Agent's Time on
the date specified herein. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to
each Lender, such funds as it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (1) on or
before 3:00 p.m. Administrative Agent's Time on the day Administrative Agent
receives such funds, if Administrative Agent has received such funds on or
before 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's Time), or (ii) on or before 12:00 p.m.
Administrative Agent's Time on the Business Day following the day Administrative
Agent receives such funds, if Agent receives such funds after 12:00 p.m.
Administrative Agent's Time.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by Borrower or any
Lender shall be made to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent's Office
not later than the time for such type of payment specified in this Agreement.
All payments received after such time shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made in immediately available
funds in lawful money of the United States of America.
(d) Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set forth
herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly make any amounts received in
accordance with the prior subsection available in like funds received as
follows: (1) if payable to Borrower, in accordance with Exhibit "F", except as
otherwise specified herein, and (ii) if payable to any Lender, by wire transfer
to such Lender at the address specified in the Schedule of Lenders.
(e) Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified Administrative Agent prior
to the date any payment is required to be made by it to Administrative Agent,
that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment,
Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may
be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall
8
<PAGE>
not be required to do so) in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding
amount to the person or entity entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such
payment was not in fact made to Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds, then:
(i) if Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall
forthwith on demand repay to Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed
payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds,
together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the
date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to
the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender or, if
applicable, Electing Lender or Lenders shall forthwith on demand pay to
Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together
with interest thereon for the period from the date amount was made available by
Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by
Administrative Agent (the "Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to
the interest rate applicable to such amount under the Loan. If such Lender pays
such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender's Pro Rata Share, included in the applicable Loan advance. Nothing herein
shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
Commitment or to prejudice any rights, which Administrative Agent or Borrower
may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(f) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for
any Loan advance to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Section, and the funds are not advanced to Borrower or
otherwise used to satisfy any Obligations of Lender hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, with interest.
(g) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the
funds for any Loan advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan advance in any particular place or manner.
(h) All Loan disbursements shall be made only in accordance with the Loan
allocations in the Budget, the Cost Breakdown and the requirements for Loan
disbursements contained in the Loan Documents. Furthermore, disbursements under
the Note shall not commence until Borrower has met the pre-sales requirement
described herein in Section 1.13(i) and the Loan has been syndicated in the
manner described in Article 6 below. In addition, all construction-related
disbursements shall be subject to the approval, which may not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, of Administrative Agent's construction consultant. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse any undrawn interest or
any cost savings realized on any line item in the Budget under a different line
item in the Budget; subject, however, to Borrower's ability to reallocate such
amounts as permitted under Section 1.4.
9
<PAGE>
(i) The form of contract for the purchase and sale of a Unit (a "Sales
Contract") has been received by and is acceptable to Administrative Agent. If a
Sales Contract materially differs from the form approved by Administrative
Agent, then such Sales Contract shall be subject to Administrative Agent's
approval in its sole discretion. All Sales Contracts shall require a
non-refundable deposit (a "Deposit") to be held by Administrative Agent in the
amount of 10% of the gross sales price for the applicable Unit. No Sales
Contract shall contain any contingencies (other than as approved by
Administrative Agent) which would make the contract non-binding on the
purchaser. Funding shall be limited to no more than fifty percent (50%) of the
Appraised Value of the Land ("Initial Funding"; and such funding shall be
initially advanced only by Administrative Agent) until such time as Borrower has
submitted to Administrative Agent copies of executed, valid and binding Sales
Contracts in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in the
aggregate gross amount of $76,000,000.00 at which time Borrower may borrow up to
one hundred percent (100%) of the Loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of
the Loan Documents (and the Initial Funding shall then be shared pro rata among
the Lenders). Multiple Unit purchasers shall be allowed only with the specific
permission of the Administrative Agent.
1.14 Administrative Agent Advances.
(a) Administrative Agent is authorized, from time to time, in
Administrative Agent's sole discretion to make, authorize or determine advances
of the Loan, or otherwise expend funds, on behalf of Lenders ("Administrative
Agent Advances"), (1) to pay any costs, fees and expenses as described in
Section 6.10 herein, (ii) when the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Exhibit "C," Exhibit "C-1" and Exhibit "F" have been satisfied to the extent
required by Administrative Agent, and (iii) when Administrative Agent deems
necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Loan collateral or any portion
thereof (including those with respect to property taxes, insurance premiums,
completion of construction, operation, management, improvements, maintenance,
repair, sale and disposition) (A) subject to Section 5.5, after the occurrence
of a Default, and (B) subject to Section 5.10, after acquisition of all or a
portion of the Loan collateral by foreclosure or otherwise. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Administrative Agent Advances after the Initial Funding which are
equal to or greater than $5,000,000.00 shall require the approval of the
Required Lenders, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Administrative Agent Advances shall constitute obligatory advances of
Lenders under this Agreement, shall be repayable on demand and secured by the
Loan collateral, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such amount
under the Loan. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each
Administrative Agent Advance. Upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent
of its making of an Administrative Agent Advance, other than the Initial
Funding, each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of
the outstanding principal amount of the Administrative Agent Advance available
to Administrative Agent, in same day funds, to such account of Administrative
Agent as Administrative Agent may designate, (i) on or before 3:00 p.m.
(Administrative Agent's Time) on the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders
with notice of the making of such Administrative Agent Advance if Administrative
Agent provides such notice on or before 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent's
Time), or (ii) on or before 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following
the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such
advance if Administrative Agent provides notice after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative
Agent's Time).

1.15 Defaulting Lender.
(a) Notice and Cure of Lender Default; Election Period; Electing Lenders.
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (such notice being referred to as the
"Default Notice") Borrower (for Loan advances) and each non-Defaulting Lender if
any Lender is a Defaulting Lender. Each non-Defaulting Lender shall have the
right, but in no event or under any circumstance the obligation, to fund such
Defaulting Lender Amount, provided that, within five (5) Business Days after the
date of the Default Notice (the "Election Period"), such non- Defaulting Lender
or Lenders (each such Lender, an "Electing Lender") irrevocably commit(s) by
notice in writing (an "Election Notice") to Administrative Agent, the other
Lenders and Borrower to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount and to assume the
Defaulting Lender's obligations with respect to the advancing of the entire
undisbursed portion of the Defaulting Lender's principal obligations under this
Agreement (such entire undisbursed portion of the Defaulting Lender's principal
obligations under this Agreement, including its portion of the Payment Amount
that is the subject of the default, is hereinafter referred to as the
"Defaulting Lender Obligation"). If Administrative Agent receives more than one
Election Notice within the Election Period, then the commitment to fund the
Defaulting Lender Amount and the Defaulting Lender Obligation shall be
apportioned pro rata among the Electing Lenders in the proportion that the
amount of each such Electing Lender's Commitment bears to the total Commitments
of all Electing Lenders. If the Defaulting Lender fails to pay the Defaulting
Lender Payment Amount within the Election Period, the Electing Lender or
Lenders, as applicable, shall be automatically obligated to fund the Defaulting
Lender Amount and Defaulting Lender Obligation (and Defaulting Lender shall no
longer be entitled to fund such Defaulting Lender Amount and Defaulting Lender
Obligation) within three (3) Business Days after such notice to Administrative
Agent for reimbursement to Administrative Agent or payment to Borrower as
applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
Administrative Agent has funded the Defaulting Lender Amount, Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement for its portion of the Defaulting
Lender Payment Amount pursuant to Section 5.11. Further, if no Electing Lender
commits in writing to fund timely the Defaulting Lender Obligation hereunder,
Borrower may fund any such amounts and request a refund of such amounts upon the
replacement of a Defaulting Lender as set forth in Section 1.17 hereinbelow.
(b) Removal of Rights; Indemnity. Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by or on behalf
of Borrower to Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender's benefit; nor
shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder
or under any Note until all Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts are paid in full.
Administrative Agent shall hold all such payments received or retained by it for
the account of such Defaulting Lender; Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender
shall be paid by Administrative Agent to reimburse Administrative Agent and any
Electing Lender pro rata for all Funds Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts. Solely
for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan
Documents, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" and such
Defaulting Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. A Defaulting Lender
shall have no right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by
Lenders hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents. Further, any Defaulting
Lender shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or
any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the
non-Defaulting Lenders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the
Defaulting Lender's
11
<PAGE>
becoming a Defaulting Lender. This Section shall remain effective with respect
to a Defaulting Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer
be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement by curing such
default by payment of all Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts (i) within the
Election Period, or (ii) after the Election Period with the consent of the
non-Defaulting Lenders. Such Defaulting Lender nonetheless shall be bound by any
amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be
taken by Administrative Agent and/or the non-Defaulting Lenders under any Loan
Document which is made subsequent to that Lender's becoming a Defaulting Lender
and prior to such cure or waiver. The operation of this subsection or the
subsection above alone shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect
the Commitment of any non-Defaulting Lender, or relieve or excuse the
performance by Borrower of their duties and obligations hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Section
shall release or in any way limit a Defaulting Lender's obligations as a Lender
hereunder and/or under any other of the Loan Documents. Further, a Defaulting
Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each of the
non-Defaulting Lenders from any claim, loss, or costs incurred by Administrative
Agent and/or the non-Defaulting Lenders as a result of a Defaulting Lender's
failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any and all additional losses, damages, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred by Administrative
Agent and any non-Defaulting Lender as a result of and/or in connection with (i)
a non-Defaulting Lender's acting as an Electing Lender, (ii) any enforcement
action brought by Administrative Agent against a Defaulting Lender, and (iii)
any action brought against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders. The
indemnification provided above shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
(c) Commitment Adjustments. In connection with the adjustment of the
amounts of the Loan Commitments of the Defaulting Lender and Electing Lender(s)
upon the expiration of the Election Period as aforesaid, Borrower,
Administrative Agent and Lenders shall execute such modifications to the Loan
Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, be
necessary or desirable in connection with the adjustment of the amounts of
Commitments in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section. For the
purpose of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents
such modifications shall also reflect the removal of voting rights of the
Defaulting Lender and increase in voting rights of Electing Lenders to the
extent an Electing Lender has funded the Defaulting Lender Amount and assumed
the Defaulting Lender Obligation. In connection with such adjustments,
Defaulting Lenders shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption
covering that Lender's Commitment and otherwise comply with Section 6.5. If a
Defaulting Lender refuses to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption
or otherwise comply with Section 6.5, such Defaulting Lender hereby appoints
Administrative Agent to do so on such Lender's behalf. Administrative Agent
shall distribute an amended Schedule of Lenders, which shall thereafter be
incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect such adjustments. However, all such
Defaulting Lender Amounts and Defaulting Lender Obligation funded by
Administrative Agent or Electing Lenders shall continue to be Defaulting Lender
Amounts of the Defaulting Lender pursuant to its obligations under this
Agreement.
(d) No Election. In the event that no Lender elects to commit to fund the
Defaulting Lender Amount and Defaulting Lender Obligations within the Election
Period, Administrative Agent shall, upon the expiration of the Election Period,
so notify Borrower and each Lender.

1.16 Several Obligations; No Liability, No Release. Notwithstanding that
certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed
only by or in favor of Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, and not by
or in favor of Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Administrative
Agent (if any) to make any advances of the Loan or reimbursements for other
Payment Amounts shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the
respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Pro Rata
Shares. Except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, no Lenders
shall have any liability for the acts of any other Lenders. No Lenders shall be
responsible to Borrower or any other person for any failure by any other Lenders
to fulfill its obligations to make advances of the Loan or reimbursements for
other Payment Amounts, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or
in connection with the financing contemplated herein. The failure of any Lender
to pay to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of a Payment Amount shall not
relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to pay to Administrative
Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Payment Amounts as and when required herein,
but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so
fund its Pro Rata Share of the Payment Amount. In furtherance of the foregoing,
Lenders shall comply with their obligation to pay Administrative Agent their Pro
Rata Share of such Payment Amounts regardless of (i) the occurrence of any
Default hereunder or under any Loan Document; (ii) [reserved]; (iii) any failure
of consideration, absence of consideration, misrepresentation, fraud, or any
other event, failure, deficiency, breach or irregularity of any nature
whatsoever in the Loan Documents; (iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency or other like
event with regard to any Borrower or Guarantor. The obligation of Lenders to pay
to such Payment Amounts are in all regards independent of any claims between
Administrative Agent and any Lender.
1.17 Removal and/or Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender or under any other circumstances set forth in the Loan Documents
providing that Borrower shall have the right to remove and/or replace a Lender
as a party to this Agreement, Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, remove such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its
Commitment to one or more other lenders or Eligible Assignees acceptable to
Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any removed or replaced Lender shall be
entitled to: (x) subject to the provisions of Section 1.14 through 1.15
providing for payment of all Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts to Administrative
Agent and/or Electing Lenders, as applicable, prior to payment of amounts due to
a Defaulting Lender, payment in full of all principal, interest and fees owing
to such Lender through the date of termination or assignment, (y) appropriate
assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) as such Lender
may reasonably require with respect to its participation interest in any Letters
of Credit then outstanding and (z) a release of such Lender from its obligations
under the Loan Documents. Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an
Assignment and Assumption covering that Lender's Commitment and otherwise comply
with Section 6.5. If a Lender being replaced refuses to execute and deliver such
Assignment and Assumption or otherwise comply with Section 6.5, such Lender
hereby appoints Administrative Agent to do so on such Lender's behalf.
Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule of Lenders, which
shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect adjustments to
Lenders and their Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Borrower shall retain all rights and remedies available at law or in
equity against any Defaulting Lender, whether or not such Defaulting Lender is
replaced with another Lender hereunder.

(which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as to parties, terms, and
all other matters, Borrower shall not (a) enter into any material contract
(hereinafter defined) for the performance of any work or the supplying of any
labor, materials or services for the design or construction of the

<PAGE>
Improvements, (b) enter into any management, leasing, maintenance or other

or for the furnishing of labor or materials therefor. With respect to contracts
for the performance of any work or the supplying of any labor, materials or
services, a "material" contract is one which exceeds $500,000.00 in total price.
2.4 Assignment of Contracts and Plans. As additional security for the
Obligations, Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to Administrative Agent for
the ratable benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders all of Borrower's right,
title and interest, but not its liability, in, under, and to all construction,
architectural and design contracts, and the Plans, and agrees that all of the
same are covered by the security agreement provisions of the Mortgage. Borrower
agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent from time to time upon Administrative
Agent's request such consents to the foregoing assignment from parties
contracting with Borrower as Administrative Agent reasonably may require.
Neither this assignment nor any action by Administrative Agent or Lenders shall
constitute an assumption by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any obligation
under any contract or with respect to the Plans, Borrower hereby agrees to
perform all of its obligations under any contract, and Borrower shall continue
to be liable for all obligations of Borrower with respect thereto.
Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time following written notice
to Borrower (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of
Borrower such action as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to
cure any default in any material respect of Borrower under any contract or with
respect to the Plans or to protect the rights of Borrower, Administrative Agent
or Lenders with respect thereto. Borrower irrevocably constitutes and appoints
Administrative Agent as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, which power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to enforce in Borrower's name or in
Administrative Agent's and Lender's name, following written notice to Borrower
of the occurrence, and during the continuance, of a Default, all rights of
Borrower under any contract or with respect to the Plans. Administrative Agent
shall incur no liability if any action so taken by it or on its behalf shall
prove to be inadequate or invalid, absent gross negligence or reckless or
willful conduct on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender. Borrower
indemnifies and holds Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless against and from
any loss, cost, liability or expense (including, but not limited to,
consultants' fees and expenses and attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with Borrower's failure to perform such contracts or any action taken
by Administrative Agent or Lenders with respect to such contracts, absent gross
negligence or reckless or willful conduct on the part of Administrative Agent or
any Lender. Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may use the Plans for
any purpose relating to the Improvements. Borrower represents and warrants to
Administrative Agent and Lenders that the copy of any contract furnished or to
be furnished to Administrative Agent is and shall be a true and complete copy
thereof, that the copies of the
15
<PAGE>
Plans delivered to Administrative Agent are and shall be true and complete
copies of the Plans, that there have been no material modifications thereof
which are not fully set forth in the copies delivered, and that Borrower's
interest therein is not subject to any claim, setoff, or encumbrance.
2.5 Storage of Materials. Borrower shall cause all materials supplied for
the construction of the Improvements, but not yet affixed to or incorporated
into the Improvements or the Land, to be stored on the Land with adequate
safeguards to prevent loss, theft, damage or commingling with materials for
other projects. Without Administrative Agent's approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, Borrower shall not purchase or order materials
for delivery more than ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled incorporation of
such materials into the Improvements.
2.6 Construction Consultant. Borrower shall engage a licensed supervising
architect, reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, who shall make and
certify to Administrative Agent the results of regular periodic inspections of
the construction through completion of the Improvements, including, but not
limited to compliance with the Plans and the percentage of Loan funds requested
to be drawn in relation to the percentage of work completed as conditions to
Loan advances. In addition, Administrative Agent may retain the services of a
Construction Consultant, whose duties may include, among others, reviewing the
Plans and any proposed changes to the Plans, performing construction cost
analyses, observing work in place and reviewing Draw Requests. The duties of
Construction Consultant run solely to Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of Lenders, and Construction Consultant shall have no obligations or
responsibilities whatsoever to Borrower, Borrower's architect, engineer,
contractor or any of their agents or employees. Unless prohibited by applicable
law, all fees, costs, and expenses of Construction Consultant shall be paid by
Borrower. Borrower shall cooperate with Construction Consultant and will furnish
to Construction Consultant such information and other material as Construction
Consultant reasonably considers necessary or useful in performing its duties.
2.7 Inspection. Administrative Agent and its agents, including
Construction Consultant, may enter upon the Property to inspect the Property,
the Project and any materials at any reasonable time, unless Administrative
Agent deems such inspection is of an emergency nature, in which event Borrower
shall provide Administrative Agent with immediate access to the Property.
Borrower will furnish to Administrative Agent and its agents, including
Construction Consultant, for inspection and copying, all Plans, shop drawings,
specifications, books and records, and other documents and information that
Administrative Agent reasonably may request from time to time.
2.8 Notice to Lenders. Borrower shall promptly within five (5) days after
it obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events, notify
each Lender in writing thereof, specifying in each case the action Borrower has
taken or will take with respect thereto: (a) any violation in any material
respect of any law or governmental requirement; (b) any litigation, arbitration
or governmental investigation or proceeding instituted or threatened against
Borrower or the Property, and any material development therein; (c) any actual

respect to any such taking, or any loss of or substantial damage to the

event or condition which would permit termination of a construction contract or
suspension of work thereunder, or any notice given by Borrower or any contractor
with respect to any of the foregoing; (g) any material lien filed against the
Property or any stop notice served on Borrower in connection with construction
of the Improvements; or (h) any material required permit, license, certificate
or approval with respect to the Project lapses or ceases to be in full force and
effect.

the Financial Statements and other statements and information at the times and

reasonably may at any time request. Borrower will make all of its books, records
and accounts available to Administrative Agent and its representatives at all
reasonable times at the Property upon request and will permit them to review and
copy the same. Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of any event
or condition that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
in the financial condition of Borrower or in the construction progress of the
Improvements. Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such Financial
Statements to each Lender upon receipt.

from time to time upon Administrative Agent's request (i) copies of all
