Section 1. -
ADMINISTRATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION LOAN
Section 1.1. General Information and Purpose
. The Basic Information attached as
Exhibit "B" and all other exhibits, which are made a
part of this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference,
contain definitions of certain terms used herein, and also contain
other terms, provisions, and conditions applicable to the
Construction Loan. The proceeds of the Construction Loan are to be
used by Borrower to pay the cost of the construction of the
Improvements on the Land, and other costs regarding the Property if
and to the extent that such costs are specifically provided for in
the Budget. The Loan Documents, which must be in form, detail and
substance satisfactory to Bank, evidence the agreements of Borrower
and Bank with respect to the Construction Loan. Borrower shall
comply with all Loan Documents.
Section 1.2. Administration of Construction Loan
. Bank agrees to administer the
Construction Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement.
Section 1.3. Budget . The Construction Loan amounts are allocated
for the costs of the Project shown in the Budget attached as
Exhibit "D" . The Budget has been prepared by the
Borrower, and Borrower represents to Bank that it includes all
projected costs and expenses (the " Aggregate Cost ")
incident to the Project, after taking into account the requirements
of this Agreement. Bank shall not be required to approve a
Requisition which includes (a) any advance for any cost not
set forth in the Budget, (b) any advance for any line item in
the Budget that, when added to all prior advances for that line
item, would exceed the lesser of (i) the actual cost incurred
by Borrower for such line item or (ii) the sum allocated in
the Budget for that line item, (c) any advance for any
contingency line item unless Bank consents to such advance in its
sole discretion, reasonably exercised, or (d) any advance
other than as provided in the Budget or to make any advance for
interest on the Construction Loan after commencement of operations
in the Improvements if and to the extent that there is sufficient
net operating income from the Property to cover any such interest.
Bank may approve Requisitions for advances allocated to line items
in the Budget for other purposes or in different proportions as
Bank in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable. Any
reallocation of Construction Loan amounts from one Budget line item
to another, or any other amendment to the Budget, shall be subject
to Bank's approval prior to the making of any advance of the
Construction Loan based upon such reallocation or
amendment.
Section 1.4. Borrower's Deposit . If at any time Bank determines that the sum
of (i) the unadvanced portion of the Construction Loan to
which Borrower is entitled, plus (ii) the amounts of the
Aggregate Cost which are scheduled to be paid by Borrower from
funds which are available, set aside and committed, to Bank's
satisfaction, is or will be insufficient to pay the unpaid actual
Aggregate Cost, Borrower shall, within seven (7) days after written
notice from Bank, deposit with Bank the amount of the deficiency ("
Borrower's Deposit ") in an interest-bearing account of
Bank's selection with interest earned thereon to be part of the
Borrower's Deposit. Such Borrower's Deposit shall be advanced as
construction progresses in accordance with this Agreement before
any, or any additional, Construction Loan disbursements are made.
Upon a Default, Bank may (but shall have no obligation to) apply
all or any part of the Borrower's Deposit against the unpaid
Obligations in such order as Bank determines.

thereto, Borrower hereby agreeing to perform all of its obligations
under any contract. Bank shall have the right at any time (but

than one (1) appraisal in any twelve (12) month period. Each such

judgment shall be (a) within the sole reasonable discretion of
Bank; and (b) deemed to have been given only by a specific
writing intended for the purpose given and executed by Bank.
Notwithstanding any approvals or consents by Bank, Bank has no
obligation or responsibility whatsoever for the adequacy, form or
content of the Plans, the Budget, any contract, any change order,
any lease, or any other matter incident to the Property or the
construction of the Improvements. Bank's acceptance of an
assignment of the Plans shall not constitute approval of the Plans.
Any inspection or audit of the Property or the books and records of
Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other
information, by or on behalf of Bank shall be for Bank's protection
only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility to
Borrower or anyone else with regard to the condition, construction,
maintenance or operation of the Property, or relieve Borrower of
any of Borrower's obligations. Borrower has selected all surveyors,
architects, engineers, contractors, materialmen and all other
persons or entities furnishing services or materials to the
Project. Bank has no duty to supervise or to inspect the Property

or any other person of, the existence of negligent, faulty,
inadequate or defective design or construction of the Improvements.
Bank shall not be liable or responsible for any defect in the
Property or the Improvements, the performance or default of
Borrower, Borrower's architect, engineer and contractor, or any
other party, or for any failure to construct, complete, protect or
insure the Improvements, or for the payment of costs of labor,
materials, or services supplied for the construction of the
Improvements, or for the performance of any obligation of Borrower
whatsoever. Nothing, including any advance or acceptance of any
document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or
warranty, express or implied, to any party by Bank. Inspection
shall not constitute an acknowledgment or representation by Bank
that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans, Loan
Documents, applicable laws and governmental requirements or that
the construction is free from defective materials or workmanship.
Inspection whether or not followed by notice of Default shall not
constitute a waiver of any Default then existing, or a waiver of
Bank's right thereafter to insist that the Improvements be
constructed in accordance with the Plans, Loan Documents,
applicable laws, and governmental requirements. Bank's failure to
inspect shall not constitute a waiver of any of Bank's rights under
the Loan Documents or at law or in equity.

other persons or circumstances. Time shall be of the essence with
