ARTICLE 5
INTEREST
5.1
Interest Rate.
(a)
The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is
applicable. The Adjusted Prime Rate shall be the "Applicable Rate", except that the Adjusted
LIBOR Rate shall be the "Applicable Rate" with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a
LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect. Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on the first day of
every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid in accordance with the
terms of the Note.
-17-
(b)
Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the option (the
"LIBOR Rate Option") to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth an Adjusted LIB OR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the
Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate.
(c)
The only manner in which Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by
giving Lender irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that Borrower delivers to
Lender facsimile confirmation in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto within twenty-four (24)
hours) of such exercise not later than 11 :00 a.m. Cincinnati time on the second LIBOR Business
Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which
written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower is
electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable
LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the applicable LIB OR Rate
Interest Period. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower
has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Adjusted Prime Rate as of the last day of
the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless Borrower again exercises the LIBOR
Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). Lender shall be under no duty to notify Borrower that
the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from an Adjusted LIB OR Rate
to the Adjusted Prime Rate. The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with
respect to any portion of the Loan equal to or in excess of $250,000.00. At no time may there be
more than four (4) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan.
(d)
If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the
portion of the Loan for which Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated
LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank
market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of
the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances
affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the
maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so
notify Borrower and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are
so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in
clause (ii) or fulabove, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period
with respect to an event described in clause (i) or ilii.Labove, bear interest at the Adjusted Prime
Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided
by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period.
(e)
Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual
number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable
period to, but not including, the date of repayment.
(f)
demand.
Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lender upon
-18-
(g)
If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the
interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or
interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an
Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any
portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations
regarding the LIB OR Rate Option as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Lender
shall notify Borrower that Lender is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an
Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (3) the
Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted
LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Prime Rate, and (4) Borrower shall
pay to Lender the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such
conversion. Thereafter, Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the LIBOR Rate Option until
such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower
exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a LIBOR Rate Interest Period.
5.2
Interest Rate Agreements.
(a)
If Borrower purchases an Interest Rate Protection Product from Lender, Borrower
shall enter into such party's customary form of agreement ("Interest Rate Agreement") relating to
such Interest Rate Protection Product. Any indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Interest Rate
Agreement entered into by Borrower and Lender shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by the
Note and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the same extent and effect
as if the terms and provisions of such Interest Rate Agreement were set forth herein, whether or
not the aggregate of such indebtedness, together with the disbursements made by Lender of the
proceeds of the Loan, shall exceed the face amount of the Note.
(b)
Borrower hereby collaterally assigns to agent for the benefit of Lender any and all
Interest Rate Protection Products purchased or to be purchased by Borrower in connection with
the Loan, as additional security for the Loan, and agrees to provide Lender with any additional
documentation requested by Lender in order to confirm or perfect such security interest during
the term of the Loan. If Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Protection Product from a party other
than Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender such third party's consent to such collateral
assignment. No Interest Rate Protection Product purchased from a third party may be secured by
an interest in Borrower or the Project.
(c)
Borrower shall, as a condition to the Opening of the Loan if required by Lender
and otherwise within five (5) Business Days after Lender's request, institute an interest rate
hedging program through the purchase of an interest rate swap, cap or such other interest rate
protection product ("Interest Rate Protection Product") with respect to the Loan. The Interest
Rate Protection Product, the portion of the Loan (if less than the entire Loan Amount) to which
such Interest Rate Protection Product shall apply, and the financial institution providing the
Interest Rate Protection Product, shall be subject to Lender's prior written approval in its sole
discretion. Borrower shall afford Lender a right of first opportunity to provide all Interest Rate
Protection Products but shall not be required to purchase such Interest Rate Protection Product
from Lender.

6.1
Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a)
Borrower recognizes that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any
portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrower agrees to pay Lender additional amounts to
compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any
portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from
Borrower as a result of:
(i)
any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in
the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court,
(A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Lender
(other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or
receipts of Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lender
(which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof) (provided, however,
that Borrower shall not be charged again the Reserve Percentage already
accounted for in the definition of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), or (C) imposing on
Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting
the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender
of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable from Borrower by Lender under the Loan Documents;
or
(ii)
the maintenance by Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements
promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the
United States with respect to "Eurocurrency Liabilities" of a similar term to that
of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already
accounted for in the calculation of a LIB OR Rate pursuant to the tern1s hereof).
(b)
If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out
of the July, 1988 report of the Basic Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory
Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or
the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding
capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect
of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital to a level below that which Lender would have
achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the
policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay
to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to
any portion of the Loan outstanding.
-20-
(c)
Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this
Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an
authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of
such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest
error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount
attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand
payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts
to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or .Lhlabove, of the
amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons
therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by
Lender to so notify Borrower shall not afTect Borrower's obligation to pay the reserve and capital
adequacy payment resulting therefrom.
6.2
Borrower Withholding.
If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, Borrower
is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than
taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on
Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Note to the maximum extent
permitted by law, the sum due from Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to
the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender
receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been required to be made.

Fund in order to keep the Loan In Balance shall be made by Lender in its reasonable discretion,
and that Lender may require Borrower to make a Deficiency Deposit even if funds remain in the
Contingency rund. Once the Project begins to generate Net Operating Income, Borrower may
only borrow from the Loan interest in excess of the Net Operating Income so generated.
10.4
Optional Method for Payment of Interest.
For Borrower's benefit, the Budget includes a Budget Line Item for interest payments on
the Loan and, at Lender's option, amounts due from Borrower under any Interest Rate
Agreement with respect to the Loan. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender from time to time, for
the mutual convenience of Lender and Borrower, to disburse Loan proceeds to pay all the then
accrued interest on the Note and to pay amounts due from Borrower under any Interest Rate
Agreement with respect to the Loan, regardless of whether Borrower shall have specifically
requested a disbursement of such amount. Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the
-28-
outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall, when disbursed, bear interest at the Adjusted
Prime Rate. The authorization hereby granted, however, shall not obligate Lender to make
disbursements of the Loan for interest payments or any amount due under any Interest Rate
Agreement (except upon Borrower's qualifying for and requesting disbursement of that portion
of the proceeds of the Loan allocated for such purposes in the Budget) nor prevent Borrower
from paying accrued interest or amounts due under any Interest Rate Agreement from its own
funds.
ARTICLE 11
SUFFICIENCY OF LOAN
11.1
Loan In Balance.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly
understood and agreed that the Loan shall at all times be "In Balance", on a Budget Line
Item and an aggregate basis. A Budget Line Item shall be deemed to be "In Balance" only if
Lender in its reasonable discretion determines that amount of such Budget Line Item is sufficient
for its intended purpose. The Loan shall be deemed to be "In Balance" in the aggregate only
when the total of the undisbursed portion of the Loan less the Contingency Fund (subject to
Borrower's reallocation rights under Section 10.3), equals or exceeds the aggregate of (a) the
costs required to complete the construction of the Project in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications and the Budget, including, without limitation, all Tenant Work required to be
performed by Borrower or tenant allowances to be paid for by Borrower under Leases or
reasonably anticipated for unleased space; (b) the amounts to be paid as retainages to persons
who have supplied labor or materials to the Project; (c) the amount in excess of the projected Net
Operating Income required to pay interest on the Loan through the Maturity Date; and (d) all
other hard and soft costs not yet paid for in connection with the Project, as such costs and
amounts described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) may be estimated and/or approved in writing by
Lender from time to time. Borrower agrees that if for any reason, in Lender's reasonable
discretion, the amount of such undistributed Loan proceeds shall at any time be or become
insufficient for such purpose regardless of how such condition may be caused, Borrower will,
within ten (1 0) days after written request by Lender, deposit the deficiency with Lender
("Deficiency Deposit"). The Deficiency Deposit shall first be exhausted before any further
disbursement of Loan proceeds shall be made. Lender shall not be obligated to make any Loan
disbursements if and for as long as the Loan is not In Balance.

bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom and any post-judgment
enforcement action including, without limitation, supplementary proceedings) in connection with
the enforcement of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any

Proceeds available for restoration of the Improvements (together with undisbursed proceeds of

the full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv) no material Leases in effect at the time of
such casualty or condemnation are or will be terminated nor rent decreased as a result of such
casualty or condemnation, (v) if the cost of restoration exceeds ten percent ( 10%) of the Loan
Amount, in Lender's sole determination after completion of restoration the Loan Amount will not

ASSIGNMENTS BY LENDER AND BORROWER

therein) and may grant participations in the Loan. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender's
efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in
connection therewith which do not materially adversely affect Borrower's rights under the Loan
Documents.

Prohibition of Assignments and Transfers by Borrower.
Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any

encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or
indirect) in Borrower, attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such
action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Lender's rights in connection therewith, to
constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise result
in Lender being deemed in violation of any applicable provision of ERISA. Borrower agrees to
indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, costs (including
attorneys' fees and expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses
Lender may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in
obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender's

21.10 Waiver of Damages.
In no event shall Lender be liable to Borrower for punitive, exemplary or consequential
damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of
its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower for itself and
its Guarantors waive all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.
21.11 Claims Against Lender.
Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents,
unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to
Lender within three (3) months after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the
event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the
default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense
against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which Borrower does not
give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be
essential to Lender's ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore
constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrower with regard to the
Loan. No Guarantor or Tenant is intended to have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the

2.
Assignment of Rents.
2.1.
Assignment. Grantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and
unconditionally assigns to Beneficiary all rents, royalties, issues, profits, revenue, income,
accounts, proceeds and other benefits of the Property, whether now due, past due or to become
due, including all prepaid rents and security deposits (some or all collectively, as the context may
require, "Rents"). This is an absolute assignment, not an assignment for security only.
2.2.
Grant of License. Beneficiary hereby confers upon Grantor a license ("License")
to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default,
as defined in Section 6.2 below, shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right, which it may choose to exercise in
its sole discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or demand upon Grantor, and
without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary's security under this Deed of Trust.
2.3.
Collection and Application of Rents. Subject to the License granted to Grantor
under Section 2.2 above, Beneficiary has the right, power and authority to collect any and all
Rents. Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary its attorney-in-fact to perform any and all of the
following acts, if and at the times when Beneficiary in its sole discretion may so choose:
(a)
Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents; or
(b)
Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents; or
(c)
Sue either in the name of Grantor or in the name of Beneficiary for any
and all Rents.
-4-
489
Beneficiary and Grantor agree that the mere recordation of the assignment granted herein entitles
Beneficiary immediately to collect and receive rents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
as defined in Section 6.2, without first taking any acts of enforcement under applicable law, such
as, but not limited to, providing notice to Grantor, filing foreclosure proceedings, or seeking
and/or obtaining the appointment of a receiver. Further, Beneficiary's right to the Rents does not
depend on whether or not Beneficiary takes possession of the Property as permitted under
Subsection 6.3(c). In Beneficiary's sole discretion, Beneficiary may choose to collect Rents
either with or without taking possession of the Property. Beneficiary shall apply all Rents
collected by it in the manner provided under Section 6.6. If an Event of Default occurs while
Beneficiary is in possession of all or part of the Property and is collecting and applying Rents as
permitted under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary and any receiver shall nevertheless be entitled to
exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust and at
law or in equity.
2.4.
Beneficiary Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary have any
duty to produce Rents from the Property. Regardless of whether or not Beneficiary, in person or
by agent, takes actual possession of the Premises and Improvements, unless Beneficiary agrees
in writing to the contrary, Beneficiary is not and shall not be deemed to be:
(a)
(b)
lease; or
A "Beneficiary in possession" for any purpose; or
Responsible for performing any of the obligations of the lessor under any
(c)
Responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any
dangerous or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management,
upkeep, repair or control of the Property; or
(d)
Liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or
operation of all or any part of it.
2.5.
Leasing. Grantor shall not accept any deposit or prepayment of rents under the
leases for any rental period exceeding one (1) month without Beneficiary's prior written consent.
Grantor shall not lease the Property or any part of it except strictly in accordance with the Loan
Agreement.
3.
Grant of Security Interest.
3.1.
Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Deed of Trust to create a lien on
the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents, all in favor of Beneficiary. The parties
acknowledge that some of the Property and some or all of the Rents may be determined under
applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent that any Property or Rents may
be determined to be personal property, Grantor as debtor hereby grants Beneficiary and Trustee
as secured parties a security interest in all of Grantor's right, title and interest in all such Property
and Rents, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired, to secure payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations. This Deed of Trust constitutes a security agreement
under the Uniform Commercial Code (as defined in Section 8.8) covering all such Property and
Rents.

3.2.
Financing Statements. Grantor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file, on behalf of
Grantor and without its signature, one or more financing statements and such other documents as
Beneficiary may from time to time require to perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary's
security interest in any Property or Rents. As provided in Section 5.9 below, Grantor shall pay
all fees and costs that Beneficiary may incur in filing such documents in public offices and in
obtaining such record searches as Beneficiary may reasonably require. In case Grantor fails to
execute any financing statements or other documents for the perfection or continuation of any
security interest, Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact which power of attorney is coupled with an interest to execute any such
documents on its behalf. If any financing statement or other document is filed in the records
normally pertaining to personal property, that filing shall never be construed as in any way
derogating from or impairing this Deed of Trust or the rights or obligations of the parties under
it.
4.
Fixture Filing.
This Deed of Trust constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in the State in which the Property is located, as
amended or recodified from time to time, covering any Property which now is or later may
become ftXtures attached to the Premises or Improvements. The description of the Property in
this Deed of Trust includes goods which are or are to become flXtures on the Premises and/or

Accelerating Transfers, Default and Remedies.
6.1.
Accelerating Transfers.

"Accelerating Transfer" means any Transfer not expressly permitted under
Article 17 of the Loan Agreement.

under the Loan Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Grantor;

service contract. In consideration of Beneficiary's reliance, Grantor agrees that Grantor
shall not make any Accelerating Transfer, unless the transfer is preceded by Beneficiary's
express written consent to the particular transaction and transferee. Beneficiary may
withhold such consent in its sole discretion. If any Accelerating Transfer occurs,
Beneficiary in its sole discretion may declare all of the Secured Obligations to be
immediately due and payable, and Beneficiary may invoke any rights and remedies

terms of this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents concerning the payment
of money for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Beneficiary that the same

-11
496
Beneficiary, to observe or perform any non-monetary covenant or condition contained in
this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that if any such failure
concerning a non-monetary covenant or condition is susceptible to cure but cannot
reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, then Grantor shall have an
additional sixty (60) day period to cure such failure and no Event of Default shall be
deemed to exist hereunder so long as (x) Grantor commences such cure within the initial
thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion
within such resulting ninety (90) day period from the date of Beneficiary's notice, and
(y) the existence of such uncured default will not result in any tenant under a Lease
having the right to terminate such Lease due to such uncured default; and provided
further that if a different notice or grace period is specified under Article 19 of the Loan
Agreement (or elsewhere in this Deed of Trust or the Loan Agreement) in which such
particular breach will become an Event of Default, the specific provision shall control; or
(b)
An "Event of Default" occurs under the Loan Agreement or any other
Loan Document.
6.3.
Remedies. At any time after an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall be entitled to
invoke any and all of the rights and remedies described below, in addition to all other rights and
remedies available to Beneficiary at law or in equity. All of such rights and remedies shall be

remedies.

Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured
Obligations to be due and payable immediately.
(b)
Receiver. Beneficiary shall, as a matter of right, without notice and
without giving bond to Grantor or anyone claiming by, under or through Grantor, and

Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to have a receiver
appointed for all or any part of the Property and the Rents, and the proceeds, issues and
profits thereof, with the rights and powers referenced below and such other rights and
powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Grantor hereby consents
to the appointment of such receiver and shall not oppose any such appointment. Such
receiver shall have all powers and duties prescribed by applicable law, all other powers
which are necessary or usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control,
management and operation of the Property, and such rights and powers as Beneficiary
would have, upon entering and taking possession of the Property under subsection (c)
below.
Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver,
(c)
may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and
may also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary
may in its sole discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this
Deed of Trust. Such other things may include: taking and possessing all of Grantor's or
the then owner's Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying or canceling

497

documents as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may consider to be appropriate in
connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Grantor's name on any
instruments.
(d)
Cure; Protection of Security. Beneficiary may cure any breach or default
of Grantor, and if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary may
also enter the Property and/or do any and all other things which it may in its sole
discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Deed of Trust,
including, without limitation, completing construction of the improvements at the
Property contemplated by the Loan Agreement. Such other things may include:
appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports to affect the
security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary under, this Deed of Trust; paying,
purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien
which in Beneficiary's sole judgment is or may be senior in priority to this Deed of Trust,

Trust; obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required
to be carried under the Loan Agreement; otherwise caring for and protecting any and all
of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants, contractors and other appropriate
persons to assist Beneficiary. Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under
this Subsection 6.3(d) either with or without giving notice to any person. Any amounts
expended by Beneficiary under this Subsection 6.3(d) shall be secured by this Deed of
Trust.
(e)
Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any or
all of the remedies granted to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in the
State in which the Property is located.
(f)
Foreclosure; Lawsuits. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the
above-mentioned Events of Default, and, on application of Beneficiary, it shall be lawful
for, and the duty of, Trustee to sell all or any portion of the Property at public auction for
cash after having frrst given such notice as to commencement of foreclosure proceedings
and having obtained such findings and leave of court as may then be required by law and
having given such notice and having advertised the time and place of such sale in such
manner as may then be required by law, and upon such sale and any resale to convey title
to the purchaser. Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as permitted or required by applicable law,
or its nominee may bid and become the purchaser of all or any part of the Property at any
foreclosure or other sale hereunder, and the amount of Beneficiary's and/or Trustee's, as
permitted or required by applicable law, successful bid shall be credited on the Secured
Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as permitted or
required by applicable law, may proceed by a suit or suits in law or equity, whether for
specific performance of any covenant or agreement herein contained or in aid of the
-13-
498
execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure under the judgment or
decree of any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition to the right provided in Section
6.3(a), upon, or at any time after the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Deed of Trust,
Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as permitted or required by applicable law, shall be entitled to
the appointment of a receiver of the Property by the court in which such complaint is
filed, and Grantor hereby consents to such appointment.
(g)
Other Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise all rights and remedies
contained in any other instrument, document, agreement or other writing heretofore,
concurrently or in the future executed by Grantor or any other person or entity in favor of
Beneficiary in connection with the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, without
prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to enforce any appropriate remedy against
Grantor. Beneficiary shall have the right to pursue all remedies afforded to a Beneficiary
under applicable law, and shall have the benefit of all of the provisions of such applicable
law, including all amendments thereto which may become effective from time to time
after the date hereof.
(h)
Sale of Personal Property. Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by
applicable law, shall have the discretionary right to cause some or all of the Property,
which constitutes personal property, to be sold or otherwise disposed of in any
combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.
(i)
For purposes of this power of sale, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as
required by applicable law, may elect to treat as personal property any Property
which is intangible or which can be severed from the Premises or Improvements
without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so, Beneficiary and/or
Trustee, as required by applicable law, may dispose of any personal property, in
any manner permitted by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state
in which the Property is located, including any public or private sale, or in any
manner permitted by any other applicable law.
In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property,
(ii)
Grantor agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially
reasonable sale: Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale to Grantor not
later than thirty (30) days prior to such sale. Beneficiary will publish notice of the
sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation. Upon receipt of any written
request, Beneficiary will make the Property available to any bona fide prospective
purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours. Without limiting any
other provisions of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as permitted or
required by applicable law, shall have the right to conduct any such sale on
Grantor's Property, and Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as permitted or required by
applicable law, shall have such right of possession of the Property as shall be
necessary or convenient for such purpose or any other purpose under this Section
6.3. Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as permitted or required by applicable law, may
sell the Property without giving any warranties relating to title, possession, quiet
enjoyment, merchantability, fitness or the like as to the Property and may
specifically disclaim any warranties, which shall not be considered to adversely
-14-
499
affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Property. Beneficiary
and/or Trustee, as required by applicable law, has no obligation to clean up or
otherwise prepare the Property for sale. Notwithstanding, Beneficiary shall be
under no obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers
received by it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing
procedures do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially
reasonable.
Single or Multiple Foreclosure Sales. If the Property consists of more
than one lot, parcel or item of property, Beneficiary and/or Trustee, as required by
applicable law, may:
(i)
(i)
Designate the order in which the lots, parcels and/or items shall be
sold or disposed of or offered for sale or disposition; and
(ii)
Elect to dispose of the lots, parcels and/or items through a single
consolidated sale or disposition to be held or made under or in connection with
judicial proceedings, or by virtue of a judgment and decree of foreclosure and
sale; or through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in any other manner
Beneficiary may deem to be in its best interests (any such sale or disposition, a
"Foreclosure Sale;" and any two or more, "Foreclosure Sales").
If Beneficiary and/or Trustee chooses to have more than one Foreclosure Sale,
Beneficiary and/or Trustee at its option may cause the Foreclosure Sales to be
held simultaneously or successively, on the same day, or on such different days
and at such different times and in such order as Beneficiary and/or Trustee may
deem to be in its best interests. No Foreclosure Sale shall terminate or affect the
liens of this Deed of Trust on any part of the Property which has not been sold,
until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
6.4.
Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Grantor or
Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part of it to the extent permitted by then
applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such property, Beneficiary may settle for the purchase
price by crediting the sales price of the property against the following obligations:
(a)
First, the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the expenses of
sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Grantor is obligated to pay or
reimburse Beneficiary and Trustee under Section 5.9 of this Deed of Trust; and
(b)
Second, all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as
Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose.
6.5.
Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of
any Foreclosure Sale in the following manner, subject to the provisions of North Carolina
General Statutes Section 45-21.31 regarding the application of foreclosure sale proceeds:
-15-
soo
(a)
First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the
expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which Grantor is obligated to
reimburse Beneficiary or Trustee under Section 5.9 of this Deed of Trust;
(b)
Second, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to any
sums expended or advanced by Beneficiary under the terms of this Deed of Trust which
then remain unpaid;
(c)
Third, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as
Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose; and
(d)
Fourth, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to
it.
6.6.
Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents
collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale which Beneficiary
may receive or collect under Section 6.3 above, in the following manner:
(a)
First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs
and expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Beneficiary or any
receiver;
(b)
Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions
as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may choose; and
(c)
Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it.
Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.
7.
The Trustee.
7.1.
Certain Rights. With the approval of Beneficiary, Trustee shall have the right to
take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ and consult with counsel (who
may be, but need not be, counsel for Beneficiary) upon any matters arising hereunder, including
the preparation, execution and interpretation of the Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected
in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers
hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his or her agents or
attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his or her duties hereunder,
suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate
or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee (and Trustee shall not be answerable for any
act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or
attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by
Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances
whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence or bad faith), and (iv) any and all other lawful
action that Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Beneficiary's rights
hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering
by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Premises for debts contracted for or
liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Premises. Trustee shall have
-16-
501.
the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting any action
taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be
genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred by Trustee in the
performance of Trustee's duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee's
services hereunder as shall be rendered. Grantor will, from time to time, pay the compensation
due to Trustee hereunder and reimburse Trustee for, and save and hold Trustee harmless against,
any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by Trustee in the performance of
Trustee's duties.
7.2.
Retention of Money. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied
as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, and shall be
segregated from any other moneys of Trustee.
7.3.
Successor Trustees. Trustee may resign by the giving of notice of such
resignation in writing to Beneficiary. If Trustee shall die, resign or become disqualified from
acting in the execution of this trust, or if, for any reason, Beneficiary, in Beneficiary's sole
discretion and with or without cause, shall prefer to appoint a substitute trustee or multiple
substitute trustees, or successive substitute trustees or successive multiple substitute trustees, to
act instead of the aforenamed Trustee, Beneficiary shall have full power to appoint a substitute
trustee (or, if preferred, multiple substitute trustees) in succession who shall succeed (and if
multiple substitute trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall succeed)
to all the estates, rights, powers and duties of the aforenamed Trustee. Such appointment may be
executed by any authorized agent of Beneficiary, and if such Beneficiary be a corporation and
such appointment be executed on its behalf by any officer of such corporation, such appointment
shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient
without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation.
Grantor hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the aforenamed Trustee, or his or her
successor or successors in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof. If multiple substitute
trustees are appointed, each of such multiple substitute trustees shall be empowered and
authorized to act alone without the necessity of the joinder of the other multiple substitute
trustees, whenever any action or undertaking of such substitute trustees is requested or required
under or pursuant to this Deed of Trust or applicable law. Any prior election to act jointly or
severally shall not prevent either or both of such multiple substitute Trustees from subsequently
executing, jointly or severally, any or all of the provisions hereof.
7 .4.
Perfection of Appointment. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any
nature be required from Grantor by any Trustee or substitute Trustee to more fully and certainly
vest in and confirm to Trustee or substitute Trustee such estates, rights, powers, and duties, then,
upon request by Trustee or substitute trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and
instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be
recorded and/or filed by Grantor.
7.5.
Succession Instruments. Any substitute trustee appointed pursuant to any of the
provisions hereof shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the
estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of its, his or her predecessor in the rights hereunder
with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, upon the written
request of Beneficiary or of the substitute trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and
-17-
502
deliver any instrument transferring to such substitute trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all
the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver any of the property and moneys held by such Trustee to the substitute
trustee so appointed in such Trustee's place.
7.6.
No Representation by Trustee or Beneficiary. By accepting or approving
anything required to be observed, performed, or fulfilled or to be given to Trustee or Beneficiary
pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall be deemed to have
warranted, consented to, or affrrmed the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the
same, or of any term, provision, or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof
shall not be or constitute any warranty or affrrmation with respect thereto by Trustee or
Beneficiary.
8.
Miscellaneous Provisions.
8.1.
Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and
conditions of the parties' agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Deed
of Trust. The Loan Documents also grant further rights to Beneficiary and contain further
agreements and affrrmative and negative covenants by Grantor which apply to this Deed of Trust
and to the Property.
8.2.

construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure
by Beneficiary to take action on account of any default of Grantor. Consent by

other or subsequent act or omission or to waive the requirement for Beneficiary's consent
to be obtained in any future or other instance.

(b)
cure or waive any breach, Event of Default or notice of default under this Deed of Trust

paid and performed and all other defaults under the Loan Documents have been cured);
or impair the security of this Deed of Trust; or prejudice Beneficiary or any receiver in
the exercise of any right or remedy afforded any of them under this Deed of Trust; or be
construed as an affrrmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option, or a
subordination of the lien of this Deed of Trust.

all or any part of the Property in the manner provided in Subsection 6.3(c).

Subsection 6.3(d) of this Deed of Trust, that act alone shall not release or change the
personal liability of any person for the payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations then outstanding, or the lien of this Deed of Trust on all or the remainder of
the Property for full payment and performance of all outstanding Secured Obligations.
The liability of the original Grantor shall not be released or changed if Beneficiary grants
any successor in interest to Grantor any extension of time for payment, or modification of
the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation. Beneficiary shall not be required to
comply with any demand by the original Grantor that Beneficiary refuse to grant such an
extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against, any such successor in
interest.
(b)
Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under
Subsections 6.3(b) and/or 6.3(c) regardless of the adequacy of the security for the
Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared
to be immediately due and payable, or whether notice of default and election to sell has
been given under this Deed of Trust.
(c)
From time to time, Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for aid and direction in executing and enforcing the rights and remedies

of Trust shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Ohio.
8.7.
Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties.
However, this Section 8.7 does not waive the provisions of Section 6.1 above.
8.8.
Interpretation.
(a)
Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be
construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include
any other gender. The captions of the sections of this Deed of Trust are for convenience
only and do not define or limit any terms or provisions. The word "include(s)" means
"include(s), without limitation," and the word "including" means "including, but not
limited to."
(b)
The word "obligations" is used in its broadest and most comprehensive
sense, and includes all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent
obligations. It further includes all principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges,
loan fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all
obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions.
No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the
(c)
scope or generality of any language of this Deed of Trust. The Exhibits to this Deed of
Trust are hereby incorporated in this Deed of Trust.
(d)
The term "Uniform Commercial Code" means the Uniform Commercial
Code as amended from time to time, and any successor statute, enacted and in effect at
any time in the relevant jurisdiction. Without living any definition set forth herein or in
any other Loan Document, any term used herein, whether or not defined, that is defined
in the Uniform Commercial Code shall be deemed to have or include the meaning
ascribed to such term in the Uniform Commercial Code.
8.9.
In-House Counsel Fees. Whenever Grantor is obligated to pay or reimburse
Beneficiary for any attorneys' fees, those fees shall include the allocated costs for services of
in-house counsel.
8.10. Waiver of Statutory Rights. To the extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby
agrees that it shall not and will not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or exemption laws, or any so-called "Moratorium Laws," now existing or hereafter
enacted, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, but
hereby waives the benefit of such laws. Grantor for itself and all who may claim through or
under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property
marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that any court having jurisdiction
to foreclose such lien may order the Property sold as an entirety. Grantor hereby waives any and
-20-
505
all rights of redemption from sale under any judgment of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust on
behalf of Grantor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the
Property of any nature whatsoever, subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust. The foregoing
waiver of right of redemption is made pursuant to the provisions of applicable law.
8.11. Severability. If any provision of this Deed of Trust should be held unenforceable
or void, that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions and shall in no
way affect the validity of this Deed of Trust except that if such provision relates to the payment
of any monetary sum, then Beneficiary may, at its option, declare all Secured Obligations
immediately due and payable.
8.12. Notices. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party
hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed

Leasehold Deed of Trust Addendum
The following terms and conditions are included as additional provisions to the Deed of
Trust to which it is attached:
1.
Grantor will pay or cause to be paid all rent and other charges required under that
certain ground lease made by Osborne Investments, LLC "lessor" and Grantor as "lessee" dated
.)..l \'I ~I
, 2005 (the "Lease") as and when the same are due and Grantor will keep,
observe and perform, or cause to be kept, observed and performed, all of the other terms,
covenants, provisions and agreements of the Lease on the part of the lessee thereunder to be kept,
observed and performed, and will not in any manner, cancel, terminate or surrender, or permit
any cancellation, termination or surrender of the Lease, in whole or in part, or, without the
written consent of Beneficiary, either orally or in writing, modify, amend or permit any
modification or amendment of any of the terms thereof in any respect, and any attempt on the
part of Grantor to exercise any such right without such written consent of Beneficiary shall be
null and void and of no effect.
2.
Grantor will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep
unimpaired the rights of Grantor as lessee under the Lease, and to prevent any default under the
Lease, or any termination, surrender, cancellation, forfeiture or impairment thereof, and in the
event of the failure of Grantor to make any payment required to be made by Grantor pursuant to
the provisions of the Lease or to keep, observe or perform, or cause to be kept, observed or
performed, any of the terms, covenants, provisions or agreements of the Lease, Grantor agrees
that Beneficiary may (but shall not be obligated to), after notice to Grantor (provided, however,
that no such notice shall be required to be given after the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents) take any action on behalf of Grantor, to
make or cause to be kept, observed or performed any such terms, covenants, provisions or
agreements and to enter upon the Premises and take all such action thereof as may be necessary
therefor, to the end that the rights of Grantor in and to the leasehold estate created by the Lease
shall be kept unimpaired and free from default, and all money so expended by Beneficiary, with
interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) from the date of each
such expenditure, shall be paid by Grantor to Beneficiary promptly upon demand by Beneficiary
and shall be added to the indebtedness and secured by the Deed of Trust and Beneficiary shall
have, in addition to any other remedy of Beneficiary, the same rights and remedies in the event
of non-payment of any such sum by Grantor as in the case of a default by Grantor in the payment
of any sums due under the Note.
3.
Grantor will enforce the obligations of the lessor under the Lease to the end that
Grantor may enjoy all of the rights granted to it under the Lease, and will promptly notify
Beneficiary in writing of any default by the lessor or by Grantor in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions on the part of the lessor or Grantor, as
the case may be, to be performed or observed under the Lease and Grantor will promptly advise
Beneficiary in writing of the occurrences of any of the events of default enumerated in the Lease
and of the giving of any notice by the lessor to Grantor of any default by Grantor in performance
or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on the part of the Grantor
to be performed or observed and will deliver to Beneficiary a true copy of each such notice. If,
B-1
511.
pursuant to the Lease, the lessor shall deliver to Beneficiary a copy of any notice of default given
to Grantor, such notice shall constitute full authority and protection to Beneficiary for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by Beneficiary in good faith in reliance thereon to cure such default.
4.
If any action or proceeding shall be instituted to evict Grantor or to recover
possession of the Premises or for any other purpose affecting the Lease or this Deed of Trust,
Grantor will, immediately upon service thereof on or to Grantor, deliver to Beneficiary a true
copy of each petition, summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause and of all
other provisions, pleadings, and papers, however designated, served in any such action or
proceeding.
5.
Grantor covenants and agrees that unless Beneficiary shall otherwise expressly
consent in writing, the fee title to the property demised by the Lease and the leasehold estate
shall not merge but shall always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said
estates either in the lessor, Grantor, or a third party by purchase or otherwise; and in case Grantor
acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Premises, this Deed of Trust shall
attach to and cover and be a lien upon the fee title or such other estate so acquired, and such fee
title or other estate shall, without further assignment, Deed of Trust or conveyance, become and
be subject to the lien of and covered by this Deed of Trust.
6.
No release or forbearance of any of Grantor's obligations under the Lease,
pursuant to the Lease, or otherwise, shall release Grantor from any of its obligations under this
Deed of Trust, including its obligation with respect to the payment of rent as provided for in the
Lease and the performance of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements
contained in the Lease, to be kept, performed and complied with by the tenant therein.
7.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default Grantor shall not make any election
or give any consent or approval (other than the exercise of a renewal right or extension right
pursuant to Paragraph 9 below) for which a right to do so is conferred upon Grantor as lessee
under the Lease without Beneficiary's prior written consent. In case of any Event of Default
under this Deed of Trust, all such rights, together with the right of termination, cancellation,
modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Lease, all of which have been
assigned for collateral purpose to Beneficiary, shall vest in and be exercisable solely by
Beneficiary.
8.
Grantor will give Beneficiary prompt written notice of the commencement of any
arbitration or appraisal proceeding under and pursuant to the provisions of the Lease.
Beneficiary shall have the right to intervene and participate in any such proceeding and Grantor
shall confer with Beneficiary to the extent which Beneficiary deems necessary for the protection
of Beneficiary. Upon the written request of Beneficiary, if an Event of Default exists, Grantor
will exercise all rights of arbitration conferred upon it by the Lease. Grantor shall select an
arbitrator who is approved in writing by Beneficiary, provided, however, that if at the time any
such proceeding shall be commenced, Grantor shall be in default in the performance or
observance of any covenant, condition or other requirement of the Lease, or of this Deed of
Trust, on the part of Grantor to be performed or observed, Beneficiary shall have, and is hereby
granted, the sole and exclusive right to designate and appoint on behalf of Grantor the arbitrator
or arbitrators, or appraiser, in such proceeding.
B-2
51.2
9.
Grantor may exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Lease
or exercise the fee option contained therein without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.
Grantor shall give Beneficiary simultaneous written notice of the exercise of such option or right
to renew or extend, together with a copy of the instrument given to the lessor under the Lease
exercising such option or right, and, thereafter, shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary a copy of
any acknowledgment by the lessor under such Lease with respect to the exercise of such option
or right. If such option or right has not been exercised as aforesaid, then not more than three
hundred sixty (360) and not less than two hundred seventy (270) days before the right of Grantor
to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Lease shall expire, Grantor
shall give Beneficiary written notice specifying the date, term and manner for which such option
or renewal is to be exercised. Within fifteen (15) business days of written demand by
Beneficiary, Grantor shall exercise any such option or renewal which is necessary to extend the
term of the Lease beyond the term of this Deed of Trust or to comply with any law affecting
Grantor or Beneficiary or which is necessary, in Beneficiary's reasonable judgment, to preserve
the value of the security intended to be afforded by this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall promptly
provide evidence of such exercise of such option or right to Beneficiary's reasonable satisfaction.
In the event that Grantor fails to so exercise any such option or right or in the event of any
default hereunder which is continuing beyond the applicable cure periods, Grantor hereby agrees
and grants to Beneficiary all right and authority to exercise such option in the name of Grantor or
in its own name. Nothing contained herein shall affect or limit any rights of Beneficiary granted
under the Lease.
10.
The lien of this Deed of Trust shall attach to all of Grantor's rights and remedies
at any time arising under or pursuant to Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code,
11 U.S.C. § 365(h), including, without limitation, all of Grantor's rights to remain in possession
of the Premises.
11.
Grantor shall not, without Beneficiary's prior written consent, elect to treat the
Lease as terminated under Subsection 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S. C. § 365(h)(1 ).
Any such election made without Beneficiary's consent shall be void.
12.
Grantor hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Beneficiary all
of Grantor's claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection of the Lease
by lessor or any other fee owner of the Premises under the Bankruptcy Code. Beneficiary shall
have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Grantor in respect of any claim, suit,
action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Lease, including, without limitation, the right
to file and prosecute, either in its own name or in the name of Grantor, any proofs of claim,
complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect to the
lessor or any fee owner under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment constitutes a present,
irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall
continue in effect until all of the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust shall have been
satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by Beneficiary as damages arising out of
the rejection of the Lease as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of
Beneficiary (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the
exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section and then in accordance with the
provisions of this Deed of Trust. Grantor shall promptly make, execute, acknowledge and
deliver, in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary, a UCC Financing Statement (Form
UCC-1) and all such additional instruments, agreements and other documents, as may at any
B-3
51.3
time hereafter be required by Beneficiary to effectuate and carry out the assignment made
pursuant to this Section.
If pursuant to Subsection 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.
13.
§ 365(h)(2), Grantor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Lease the amount of any
damages caused by the nonperformance by the lessor or any fee owner of any of their obligations
under the Lease after the rejection by the lessor or any fee owner of the Lease under the
Bankruptcy Code, Grantor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Beneficiary of its intent to
do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. Beneficiary shall
have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of
Beneficiary, would constitute a breach of the Lease, and in the event of such objection, Grantor
shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by Beneficiary. Neither Beneficiary's
failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval
of any such offset by Beneficiary.
14.
If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect
of the lessor or any fee owner, the Premises or the Lease in connection with any case under the
Bankruptcy Code, Beneficiary shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from Beneficiary to
Grantor, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Beneficiary's choice.
Beneficiary may proceed in its own name or in the name of Grantor in connection with any such
litigation, and Grantor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other
documents reasonably required by Beneficiary in connection therewith. Grantor shall, upon
demand, pay to Beneficiary all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) paid or incurred by
Beneficiary in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings. Any such
costs or expenses not paid by Grantor as aforesaid shall be secured by the lien of this Deed of
Trust and shall be added to the principal amount of the indebtedness secured hereby. Grantor
shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any
motion (unless such motion is for the purpose of protecting the Lease and its value as security for
the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust), in respect of the Lease in any such case under the
Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
15.
Grantor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify Beneficiary of
any filing by or against the lessor or other fee owner of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code.
Grantor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary, following receipt, copies of any and all notices,
summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Grantor in connection with
any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.
16.
If there shall be filed by or against Grantor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code
and Grantor, as lessee under the Lease, shall determine to reject the Lease pursuant to
Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, Grantor shall give Beneficiary not less than thirty (30)
days' prior notice of the date on which Grantor shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for authority
to reject the Lease. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Grantor
within such thirty (30) day period a notice stating that Beneficiary demands that Grantor assume
and assign the Lease to Beneficiary pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. If
Beneficiary shall serve upon Grantor the notice described in the preceding sentence, Grantor
shall not seek to reject the Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding
sentence.
B-4

17.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Deed of Trust
shall not constitute an assignment of the Lease and Beneficiary shall have not liability or
obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Deed of Trust.

(ii) the other Loan Documents.
C.
Assignor is desirous of further securing to Assignee the performance of the terms,

AGREEMENTS
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the Loan evidenced by
the Note by Assignee to Assignor and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally transfer, sell, assign, pledge and convey to Assignee, its successors and assigns,
all of the right, title and interest of Assignor in and to:
(a)
any and all leases, licenses, rental agreements and occupancy agreements
of whatever form now or hereafter affecting all or any part of the Project and any and all
guarantees, extensions, renewals, replacements and modifications thereof (collectively, the
"Leases"); and
(b)
all issues, profits, security or other deposits, revenues, royalties, accounts,
rights, benefits and income of every nature of and from the Project, including, without limitation,
minimum rents, additional rents, termination payments, bankruptcy claims, forfeited security
deposits, damages following default and all proceeds payable under any policy of insurance
covering loss of rents resulting from untenantability due to destruction or damage to the Project,
together with the immediate and continuing right to collect and receive the same, whether now
due or hereafter becoming due, and together with all rights and claims of any kind that Assignor
may have against any Tenant, lessee or licensee under the Leases or against any other occupant
of the Project (collectively, the "Rents").
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same unto Assignee, its successors and assigns.
IT IS AGREED that, notwithstanding that this instrument is a present, absolute
and executed assignment of the Rents and of the Leases and a present, absolute and executed
grant of the powers herein granted to Assignee, Assignor is hereby permitted, at the sufferance of
Assignee and at its discretion, and is hereby granted a license by Assignee, to retain possession
of the Leases and to collect and retain the Rents unless and until there shall be an "Event of
Default" (as defined herein) under the terms of this Assignment or any of the other Loan
Documents. Upon an Event of Default, the aforementioned license granted to Assignor shall
automatically terminate without notice to Assignor, and Assignee may thereafter, without taking
possession of the Project, take possession of the Leases and collect the Rents. Further, from and
after such termination, Assignor shall be the agent of Assignee in collection of the Rents, and
any Rents so collected by Assignor shall be held in trust by Assignor for the sole and exclusive
benefit of Assignee and Assignor shall, within one (1) business day after receipt of any Rents,
pay the same to Assignee to be applied by Assignee as hereinafter set forth. Furthermore, from
and after such Event of Default and termination of the aforementioned license, Assignee shall
2
51_7
have the right and authority, without any notice whatsoever to Assignor and without regard to the
adequacy of the security therefor, to: (a) make application to a court of competent jurisdiction
for appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the Project, as particularly set forth in the
Mortgage; (b) manage and operate the Project, with full power to employ agents to manage the
same; (c) demand, collect, receive and sue for the Rents, including those past due and unpaid;
and (d) do all acts relating to such management of the Project, including, but not limited to,
negotiation of new Leases, making adjustments of existing Leases, contracting and paying for
repairs and replacements to the Improvements and to the fixtures, equipment and personal
property located in the Improvements or used in any way in the operation, use and occupancy of
the Project as in the sole subjective judgment and discretion of Assignee may be necessary to
maintain the same in a tenantable condition, purchasing and paying for such additional furniture
and equipment as in the sole subjective judgment of Assignee may be necessary to maintain a
proper rental income from the Project, employing necessary managers and other employees,
purchasing fuel, providing utilities and paying for all other expenses incurred in the operation of
the Project, maintaining adequate insurance coverage over hazards customarily insured against
and paying the premiums therefor. Assignee shall apply the Rents received by Assignor from the
Project, after deducting the costs of collection thereof, including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees and a management fee for any management agent so employed, against amounts expended
for repairs, upkeep, maintenance, service, fuel, utilities, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums
and such other expenses as Assignee incurs in connection with the operation of the Project and
against interest, principal, required escrow deposits and other sums which have or which may
become due, from time to time, under the terms of the Loan Documents, in such order or priority
as to any of the items so mentioned as Assignee, in its sole subjective discretion, may determine.
The exercise by Assignee of the rights granted Assignee in this paragraph, and the collection of,
the Rents and the application thereof as herein provided, shall not be considered a waiver by
Assignee of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents or prevent foreclosure of any liens
on the Project nor shall such exercise make Assignee liable under any of the Leases, Assignee
hereby expressly reserving all of its rights and privileges under the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents as fully as though this Assignment had not been entered into.
Without limiting the rights granted hereinabove, in the event Assignor shall fail to
make any payment or to perform any act required under the terms hereof and such failure shall
not be cured within any applicable grace or cure period, then Assignee may, but shall not be
obligated to, without prior notice to or demand on Assignor, and without releasing Assignor from
any obligation hereof, make or perform the same in such manner and to such extent as Assignee
may deem necessary to protect the security hereof, including specifically, without limitation,
appearing in and defending any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or
the rights or powers of Assignee, performing or discharging any obligation, covenant or
agreement of Assignor under any of the Leases, and, in exercising any of such powers, paying all
necessary costs and expenses, employing counsel and incurring and paying attorneys' fees. Any
sum advanced or paid by Assignee for any such purpose, including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or advanced by
Assignee until repaid by Assignor, shall immediately be due and payable to Assignee by
Assignor on demand and shall be secured by the Mortgage and by all of the other Loan
Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

terms, covenants and conditions:
I.

management or repair of the Project upon Assignee, nor for the performance of any of the terms
and conditions of any of the Leases, nor shall it operate to make Assignee responsible or liable
for any waste committed on the Project by any Tenant or any other party or for any dangerous or
defective condition of the Project or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or
control of the Project. Assignee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting
from Assignee's failure to let the Project or from any other act or omission of Assignee in
managing the Project. Assignor shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Assignee harmless

incurred by reason of this Assignment, including, without limitation, claims or demands for
security deposits from Tenants deposited with Assignor, and from and against any and all claims
and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged
obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or
agreements contained in any of the Leases. Should Assignee incur any liability by reason of this
Assignment or in defense of any claim or demand for loss or damage as provided above, the
amount thereof, including, without limitation, costs, expenses and attorneys' fees, together with
interest thereof at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred by Assignee until repaid by
Assignor, shall be immediately due and payable to Assignee by Assignor upon demand and shall
be secured by the Mortgage and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.

the terms and provisions of this Assignment: (a) any award or other payment which Assignor
may hereafter become entitled to receive with respect to any of the Leases as a result of or
pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or similar proceedings involving any
Tenant under such Leases; and (b) any and all payments made by or on behalf of any Tenant of
any part of the Project in lieu of Rent. Assignor hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee as its
attorney-in-fact to appear in any such proceeding and to collect any such award or payment,
which power of attorney is coupled with an interest by virtue of this Assignment and is
irrevocable so long as any sums are outstanding under the loan evidenced by the Note. All
awards or payments so collected shall be applied to the indebtedness secured hereby in such
order as Assignee shall elect.
5.
Assignor represents, warrants and covenants to and for the benefit of Assignee:
(a) that Assignor now is (or with respect to any Leases not yet in existence, will be immediately

right and title to assign the same and the Rents due or to become due thereunder; (b) that, other

discounted, released, waived, compromised or otherwise discharged except for prepayment of
rent of not more than one (1) month prior to the accrual thereof; (d) that there are no material
defaults now existing under any of the Leases by the landlord or any Tenant, and there exists no
state of facts which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default
under any of the Leases by the landlord or any Tenant, except as disclosed in writing to
Assignee; (e) that Assignor has and shall duly and punctually observe and perform all covenants,
conditions and agreements in the Leases on the part of the landlord to be observed and performed
thereunder and (f) the Leases are in full force and effect and are the valid and binding obligations
of Assignor, and, to the knowledge of Assignor, are the valid and binding obligations of each
Tenant thereto.
6.
Assignor covenants and agrees that Assignor shall, at its sole cost and expense,
appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, growing out of, or in any manner
connected with the Leases or the obligations, duties or liabilities of the landlord or any Tenant
thereunder, and shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, which Assignee may incur in connection with Assignee's appearance, voluntary
or otherwise, in any such action or proceeding, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate
from the date incurred by Assignee until repaid by Assignor.
7.
At any time, Assignee may, at its option, notify any Tenant or other parties of the
existence of this Assignment. Assignor does hereby specifically authorize, instruct and direct
each and every present and future tenant, lessee and licensee of the whole or any part of the
Project to pay all unpaid and future Rents to Assignee upon receipt of demand from Assignee to
so pay the same and Assignor hereby agrees that each such present and future Tenant, lessee and
licensee may rely upon such written demand from Assignee to so pay said Rents without any
inquiry into whether there exists an Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents or whether Assignee is otherwise entitled to said Rents. Assignor hereby waives any
right, claim or demand which Assignor may now or hereafter have against any present or future
tenant, lessee or licensee by reason of such payment of Rents to Assignee, and any such payment
shall discharge such tenant's, lessee's or licensee's obligation to make such payment to Assignor.
8.
Assignee may take or release any security for the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note, may grant extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to the indebtedness evidenced
by the Note and may apply any other security therefor held by it to the satisfaction of any
indebtedness evidenced by the Note without prejudice to any of its rights hereunder.
9.
The acceptance of this Assignment and the collection of the Rents in the event
Assignor's license is terminated, as referred to above, shall be without prejudice to Assignee.
The rights of Assignee hereunder are cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued separately,
successively or together and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being
agreed by Assignor that the exercise of any one or more of the rights provided for herein shall
not be construed as a waiver of any of the other rights or remedies of Assignee, at law or in
equity or otherwise, so long as any obligation under the Loan Documents remains unsatisfied.
5
520
I 0.
All rights of Assignee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and
assigns, and all obligations of Assignor shall bind its successors and assigns and any subsequent
owner of the Project. All rights of Assignee in, to and under this Assignment shall pass to and
may be exercised by any assignee of such rights of Assignee. Assignor hereby agrees that if
Assignee gives notice to Assignor of an assignment of said rights, upon such notice the liability
of Assignor to the assignee of the Assignee shall be immediate and absolute. Assignor will not
set up any claim against Assignee or any intervening assignee as a defense, counterclaim or
setoff to any action brought by Assignee or any intervening assignee for any amounts due
hereunder or for possession of or the exercise of rights with respect to the Leases or the Rents.
11.
It shall be an "Event of Default" hereunder (a) if any representation or warranty
made herein by Assignor is determined by Assignee to have been false or misleading in any
material respect at the time made, or (b) upon any failure by Assignor in the performance or
observance of any other covenant or condition hereof and the continuance of such failure for
thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Assignee to Assignor; provided, however, that if
such failure is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be accomplished within said thirty (30)
day period, then Assignor shall have an additional sixty (60) day period to cure such failure and
no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist hereunder so long as Assignor commences such
cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to
completion within such resulting ninety (90) day period from the date of Assignee's notice. Any
such default not so cured shall be an "Event of Default" under each of the other Loan
Documents, entitling Assignee to exercise any or all rights and remedies available to Assignee
under the terms hereof or of any or all of the other Loan Documents, and any Event of Default
under the other Loan Documents, or any default under any other Loan Document which is not
cured within any applicable grace or cure period, shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder
subject to no grace or cure period, entitling Assignee to exercise any or all rights provided for
herein.
12.
Failure by Assignee to exercise any right which it may have hereunder shall not
be deemed a waiver thereof unless so agreed in writing by Assignee, and the waiver by Assignee
of any default hereunder shall not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other default
or of the same default on any future occasion. No collection by Assignee of any Rents pursuant
to this Assignment shall constitute or result in a waiver of any default then existing hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents.
13.
If any provision under this Assignment or the application thereof to any entity,
person or circumstance shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of
this Assignment and the application of the provisions hereof to other entities, persons or
circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted
bylaw.
14.
This Assignment may not be amended, modified or otherwise changed except by
a written instrument duly executed by Assignor and Assignee.
15.
This Assignment shall be in full force and effect continuously from the date
hereof to and until the payment, discharge, and performance of any and all indebtedness and
obligations evidenced by the Note or secured or guaranteed by any of the Loan Documents, and
6
521.
the release of the Mortgage shall, for all purposes, automatically terminate this Assignment and
render this Assignment null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
In case of a conflict between any provision of this Assignment and any provision
I 6.
of the other Loan Documents, the provision selected by Assignee in its sole subjective discretion
shall prevail and be controlling.
All notices, demands, requests or other communications to be sent by one party to
I 7.
the other hereunder or required by law shall be given and become effective as provided in the
Loan Agreement.
18.
This Assignment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State in which the Project is located.
This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
I 9.
shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter shall be deemed an original, and all of which
shall be taken to be one and the same instrument, for the same effect as if all parties hereto had
signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Assignment may be detached from
any counterpart of this Assignment without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon
and may be attached to another counterpart of this Assignment identical in form hereto but
having attached to it one or more additional signature pages.
20.
In addition to, but not in lieu of, any other rights hereunder, Assignee shall have
the right to institute suit and obtain a protective or mandatory injunction against Assignor to
prevent a breach or default, or to reinforce the observance, of the agreements, covenants, terms
and conditions contained herein, as well as the right to damages occasioned by any breach or
default by Assignor.
2 I.
Assignor hereby covenants and agrees that Assignee shall be entitled to all of the
rights, remedies and benefits available by statute, at law, in equity or as a matter of practice for
the enforcement and perfection of the intents and purposes hereof. Assignee shall, as a matter of
absolute right, be entitled, upon application to a court of applicable jurisdiction, and without
notice to Assignor, to the appointment of a receiver to obtain and secure the rights of Assignee
hereunder and the benefits intended to be provided to Assignee hereunder.

ARTICLE 5
INTEREST
5.1
Interest Rate.
(a)
The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is
applicable. The Adjusted Prime Rate shall be the "Applicable Rate", except that the Adjusted
LIBOR Rate shall be the "Applicable Rate" with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a
LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect. Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on the first day of
every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid in accordance with the
terms of the Note.
(b)
Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the option (the
"LIBOR Rate Option") to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth an Adjusted LIB OR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the
Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate.
(c)
The only manner in which Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by
giving Lender irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that Borrower delivers to
Lender facsimile confirmation in the fonn of Exhibit E attached hereto within twenty-four (24)
hours) of such exercise not later than 11:00 a.m. Cincinnati time on the second LIBOR Business
Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which
written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower is
electing the LIBOR Rate Option, (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable
LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the applicable LIBOR Rate
Interest Period. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower
has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Adjusted Prime Rate as of the last day of
the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless Borrower again exercises the LIBOR
Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). Lender shall be under no duty to notify Borrower that
the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from an Adjusted LIB OR Rate
Loan Agreement
17
A1ayodan
to the Adjusted Prime Rate. The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with
respect to any portion of the Loan equal to or in excess of$250,000.00. At no time may there be
more than four (4) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan.
If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
(d)
Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the
portion of the Loan for which Borrower has exercised the LIB OR Rate Option for the designated
LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank
market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of
the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances
affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the
maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so
notify Borrower and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIB OR Rate that are
so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in
clause (ii) or .(iy}_above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period

ARTICLE 6
COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN
6.1
Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a)
Borrower recognizes that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any
portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrower agrees to pay Lender additional amounts to
compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any
portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from
Borrower as a result of:
(i)
Loan Agreement
any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in
the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court,
(A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Lender
(other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or
receipts of Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of~ deposits with or for the account
of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lender
(which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof) (provided, however,
19
Mayodan
that Borrower shall not be charged again the Reserve Percentage already
accounted for in the definition of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), or (C) imposing on
Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting
the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender
of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable from Borrower by Lender under the Loan Documents;
or
(ii)
the maintenance by Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements
promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the
United States with respect to "Eurocurrency Liabilities" of a similar term to that
of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already
accounted for in the calculation of a LIB OR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).
If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out
(b)
of the July, 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory
Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or
the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding
capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect
of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital to a level below that which Lender would have
achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the
policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay
to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to
any portion of the Loan outstanding.
(c)
Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this
Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an
authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of
such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest
error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount
attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand
payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts
to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (Q)_above, of the
amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons
therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by
Lender to so notify Borrower shall not afiect Borrower's obligation to pay the reserve and capital
adequacy payment resulting therefrom.

taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on
Loan Agreement
20
Mayodan
Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Note to the maximum extent
permitted by law, the sum due from Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to
the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender
receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been required to be made.
