The Budget shall specify the amount of equity invested in the Project, and all costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatever to be incurred by Borrower in connection with Construction of Improvements. The Budget shall include, in addition to the Budget Line Items described in Section 7.2 below, the Contingency Fund described in Section 7.3 below, and amounts satisfactory to Lender for soft costs and other reserves acceptable to Lender. The initial Budget is attached hereto as Exhibit F and made a part hereof. Once the Budget is approved by Lender all changes to the Budget shall in all respects be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.

        7.2 Budget Line Items. The Budget shall include as line items (“Budget Line Items”), to the extent determined to be applicable by Lender in its reasonable discretion, the cost of all labor, materials, equipment and fixtures needed for the completion of the Construction of the Improvements, and all other costs, fees and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction of the Improvements, real estate taxes, and all other sums due in connection with Construction of the Improvements and the ownership of the Land, the Loan, and this Agreement. Borrower agrees that all

18


Loan proceeds disbursed by Lender shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such proceeds were disbursed. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.1(b) hereof, Borrower shall have the right to reallocate cost savings effected by final Change Order or other appropriate final documentation to other Budget Line Items subject to Lender’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Budget Line Item. Borrower shall pay as they become due all amounts set forth in the Budget with respect to costs to be paid for by Borrower.

        7.3 Contingency Fund. The Budget shall contain a Budget Line Item designated for the Contingency Fund. Borrower may from time to time request that the Contingency Fund be reallocated to pay needed costs of Construction. Such requests shall be subject to Lender’s written approval in its reasonable discretion. Borrower agrees that the decision with respect to utilizing portions of the Contingency 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 Fund.

        7.4 Optional Method for Payment of Interest. For Borrower’s benefit, the Budget includes a Budget Line Item for interest payments on 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 regardless of whether Borrower shall have specifically requested a disbursement of such amount. Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note and shall, when disbursed, bear interest at the Daily LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, or Default Rate, as applicable. The authorization hereby granted, however, shall not obligate Lender to make disbursements of the Loan for interest payments (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 from its own funds.

ARTICLE 8
SUFFICIENCY OF LOAN

        8.1 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 determines that the 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 7.2) equals or exceeds the aggregate of (a) the costs required to complete the Construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and the Budget; (b) the amounts to be paid as retainages to persons who have supplied labor or materials to the Project; and (c) 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) and (c) 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 (10) 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.

At Lender’s option, disbursements may be made by Lender into an escrow and subsequently disbursed to Borrower or its General Contractor, Subcontractors and materials suppliers by the Title Insurer or by Lender directly. If such option is exercised, those Loan proceeds shall be deemed to be disbursed to Borrower from the date of deposit into that escrow or the date of disbursement by Lender and interest shall accrue on those proceeds from that date, regardless of the date such proceeds are released by the Title Insurer if disbursed to such Title Insurer.

        9.3 Retainages. At the time of each disbursement of Loan proceeds, five percent (5%) of the total amount then due the General Contractor and the various contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers for costs of the Construction shall be withheld from the amount disbursed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no retainage with respect to the General Contractor’s fees; provided, however, that the General Contractor’s fees shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Budget and shall be disbursed based on the percentage of completion of Construction. The retained Loan amounts for the Construction costs will be disbursed only at the time of the final disbursement of Loan proceeds under Article 12 below; provided, however, upon the satisfactory completion of one hundred percent (100%) of the work with respect to any trade (including any trade performed by the General Contractor) or the delivery of all materials pursuant to a purchase order in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as certified by the Architect and the Lender’s Consultant, Lender may decide on a case by case basis (but shall not be obligated) to permit retainages with respect to such trade or order, as the case may be, to be disbursed to Borrower upon the Lender’s Consultant’s approval of all work and materials and Lender’s receipt of a final waiver of lien with respect to such completed work or delivered materials.

        9.4 Disbursements for Materials Stored On-Site. Any requests for disbursements which in whole or in part relate to materials or equipment which Borrower owns and which are not incorporated into the Improvements as of the date of the request for disbursement, but are to be temporarily stored at the Project, shall be made in Lender’s reasonable discretion.

Lender may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, approve disbursements for materials stored off-site, in which event all of the requirements of Section 9.4 shall be applicable to such disbursement as well as any other requirements which Lender may, in its sole discretion, determine are appropriate under the circumstances.

If Borrower shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) post a statutory lien bond in the manner provided above  Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, and any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

(e)     Renewal of Insurance. Borrower shall cause insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit D at all times. Borrower shall timely pay all premiums on all insurance policies required hereunder, and as and when additional insurance is required, from time to time, during the progress of Construction, and as and when any policies of insurance may expire, furnish to Lender, premiums prepaid, additional and renewal insurance policies with companies, coverage and in amounts satisfactory to Lender in accordance with Section 6.1(d).

(f)     Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall pay all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Project before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrower has notified Lender of Borrower’s intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, and has increased the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Lender’s request therefor. If Borrower fails to commence such

23


contest or, having commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security required by Lender for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment or charge, Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note). Borrower shall furnish to Lender evidence that taxes are paid at least five (5) days prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest.

All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan. Notwithstanding Lender’s holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall obligate Lender to pay any insurance premiums or real property taxes with respect to any portion of the Project unless the Event of Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Lender. If the Event of Default has been satisfactorily cured, Lender shall make available to Borrower such funds as may be deposited in the escrow account from time to time for Borrower’s payment of insurance premiums or real property taxes due with respect to the Project.

(h)     Personal Property. All of Borrower’s personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the Construction or the operation of the Project shall always be located at the Project and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests.

Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower and Borrower’s agents shall not (i) enter into any Leases, (ii) modify, amend or terminate any Lease, or (iii) accept any rental payment in advance of its due date. Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of all Leases, to which Borrower has requested Lender’s consent, no less than ten (10) days prior to execution of such Leases. Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of the fully executed original of all Leases promptly following their execution. Borrower will not enter into any residential Leases for a term of more than one year and all such residential Leases shall be on a form approved by Lender without material modification. Borrower will not suffer or permit any breach or default to occur in any of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Leases nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of Borrower to meet any requirement of any Lease including those with respect to any time limitation within which any of Borrower’s work is to be done or the space is to be available for occupancy by the lessee. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in writing in the event a Tenant commits a material default under a Lease.

(r)     Construction Contracts. Borrower shall not enter into, modify, amend, terminate or cancel any contracts for the Construction, without the prior written approval of Lender; provided, however, that Borrower may amend any such contract as long as such amendment does not result in an increase in the amount budgeted for the work to be performed under any such contract, or decrease the quality of materials or scope of work to be performed under any such contract. Borrower will furnish Lender promptly after execution thereof executed copies of all contracts between Borrower, architects, engineers and contractors and all Major Subcontracts and, if requested by Lender, Subcontracts, between the General Contractor or contractors and all of their subcontractors and suppliers, which contracts and subcontracts may not have been furnished at the time of the execution of this Agreement.

(w)     Prohibition of Transfers in Violation of ERISA. Borrower shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in the Project, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower assign, sell, pledge, mortgage, 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 sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions.

In addition to the fees and expenses of Lender agreed to be paid by Borrower under the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall pay (promptly upon the rendering of such a bill and delivery thereof to Borrower) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the review of any proposed easements, final approval and recordation of the Condominium Documents, partial releases, and satisfaction of a loan of character contemplated hereby.

(y)     Condominium Documents. Once approved by Lender, Borrower shall not modify, amend, or otherwise change (including without limitation, any change that would permit any purchaser to cancel its respective Contract of Sale) in any manner the Condominium Documents without the prior written consent of the Lender. Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall comply with, to the extent applicable to the Project, (a) all requirements of the Condominium Statute, (b) all regulations promulgated from time to time by the State, pursuant thereto, including without limitation, the filing requirements for the Condominium Documents, and Borrower’s obligations as developer of the condominium project, and (c) all requirements and requests of the applicable State authority or agency in connection with the filing of the Declaration and the Unites States Department of Housing and Urban Development, if applicable.

Borrower shall place or caused to be placed all Contract Deposits in the escrow account subject to the return of such Contract Deposit to a purchaser (including, to the extent of such purchaser’s rights thereto, accrued interest on such Contract Deposit), when required by the terms of any Contract of Sale to be paid over to the purchaser, and subject to the payment of each such Contract Deposit to the Lender on account of the amount to be paid to the Lender to release Units from the lien of the Deed of Trust, as and when title to a Unit is transferred to a purchaser and the balance of the consideration paid therefor.

(b)     The Lender shall have all the rights and privileges which the owner of a Unit has by virtue of the Condominium Statute and the Condominium Documents as though the Lender were in fact a Unit owner, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all voting rights accruing to the Borrower under the terms of the Condominium Documents, it being understood that in the event of an Event of Default by the Borrower under the terms of any of the Loan Documents and so long as the same shall continue the Lender may vote in the place and stead of the Borrower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender may exercise any and all of said rights hereinabove referred to, and the Borrower hereby nominates and appoints the Lender so long as the Deed of Trust remains in effect as the Borrower’s irrevocable proxy to vote and, as the Borrower’s agent, to act with respect to all of said rights while any such default shall continue. Written notice of default from the Lender to the Condominium association shall be deemed conclusive as to the existence of such default and as to the Lender’s rights and privileges under this paragraph, including all voting rights accruing to the Borrower under the terms of the Condominium Documents and the Condominium Statute. The provisions of this paragraph shall in no event render the Lender liable for any common charges or assessments required by the Condominium Documents, or any resolution adopted pursuant to the Condominium Statute, nor shall they cause, in and of themselves, the Lender to be deemed a Declarant.

(c)     The Borrower shall not, except after notice to the Lender and with the prior written consent of the Lender: (i) vote for or consent to any modification of, amendment to or relaxation in the enforcement of any provision of the Condominium Documents; (ii) in the event of damage to or destruction of the Project, vote in opposition to a motion to repair, restore, or rebuild; (iii) in each and every case in which under the provisions of the Condominium Statute or the Condominium Documents the unanimous consent or the unanimous vote of owners of Units is required to vote or give such consent;

33


(iv) partition or subdivide any Unit; (v) consent to the termination of the Condominium; (vi) consent to any amendment to the Condominium Documents; (vii) consent to the effectuation of any decision by the Condominium association to terminate professional management and assume self-management of the Condominium; or (viii) exercise any “Development Rights” reserved in the Condominium Documents or “Special Declarant Rights.”

(d)     The Borrower shall fully and faithfully observe, keep and perform each and every requirement, condition, covenant, agreement and provisions under the Condominium Statute and the Condominium Documents on the part of the Borrower to be observed, kept and performed. The Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Lender a copy of each and every notice of default received by the Borrower with respect to any obligation of the Borrower under the provisions of the Condominium Statute or the Condominium Documents. In the event the Borrower shall not cure or remedy any default within a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof from the Condominium association or the Lender then and in any such case the Lender may from time to time at its option but without any obligation to do so, cure or remedy any such default of the Borrower, and in addition, at the option of the Lender, the entire indebtedness outstanding under the Loan shall become due and payable at once without further notice (together with any sums advanced by the Lender to cure or remedy any such default).

        15.3 Partial Releases of Condominium Units. Provided that no Event of Default exists, and provided the condominium declaration for the Project (“Declaration”) has been filed with the Clerk and Recorder of Douglas County, Colorado, Lender agrees to release individual Units from the lien of the Deed of Trust in accordance with and subject to all of the following terms, provisions and conditions:

(a)     The Improvements shall have achieved Completion in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and a Certificate of Occupancy (or a temporary certificate of occupancy) for all of the Units in the Condominium Building in which the applicable Unit is located shall have been issued and any required approval by the fire marshal or its equivalent having jurisdiction over the Project and any other approval required by any Governmental Authority, to the extent that any such approval is a condition to the lawful use and occupancy of such Units and the opening of same to the public, shall have been obtained.

(b)     Borrower shall pay to Lender, prior to the time of delivery of the partial release for each Unit, in cash or immediately available funds (which payment shall be applied in reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan), for each Unit sought to be released, a release price (the “Release Price”) equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Sales Proceeds in excess of the applicable amount set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto for the applicable model type of Unit for which a release has been requested.

(c)     Requests for partial releases must be in writing (a “Request for Partial Release”), and must be accompanied by all data reasonably necessary to support the Borrower’s being entitled to the partial release, including, without limitation, a legal description for each Unit to be released, a partial release document prepared by Borrower at Borrower’s expense in form and content satisfactory to Lender and a schedule containing a list of those Units previously released by Lender and those Units remaining to be released.

(d)     Releases of Units shall not affect or impair the lien of the Deed of Trust and Lender’s lien and security interests created by the other Loan Documents as to Units and other property encumbered by the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents not theretofore released, and said liens and security interests shall continue in full force and effect as to the unreleased Units and such other property.

34


(e)     As a condition precedent to Lender’s delivery of each partial release, Borrower shall submit to Lender a photocopy of the final signed closing statement with respect to the sale of each Unit.

(f)     Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel in connection with any partial release.

(g)     Borrower shall request each partial release not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date the partial release is needed.

(h)     Suitable easements or dedicated rights-of-way for ingress, egress and utility installations for the remaining portion of the Land, as determined by Lender, which have not been submitted to condominium ownership, remain encumbered by the Deed of Trust and are available in the event of Lender’s foreclosure of such remaining parcel of Land.

        15.4. Indemnification The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless against and from (a) any and all liability, loss, damage and expense (including without limitation all attorneys’ fees and expenses) which it may incur or which may be asserted under or in connection with the Condominium Documents, or any related documents or by reason of any action taken by the Lender under the Deed of Trust, and (b) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be incurred by or asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein in the Condominium Documents, or in any related documents. Should Lender incur any such liability the amount thereof, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate shall be payable by the Borrower to Lender immediately upon demand, or at its option, Lender may reimburse itself therefor out of any sales proceeds or other income of the Borrower related to the Project collected by the Lender and shall be secured by the Deed of Trust until paid. The foregoing indemnification agreement shall survive the payment of the Loan.

Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any purported assignment shall be void. Without the prior written consent of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrower shall not suffer or permit (a) any change in the management (whether direct or indirect) of the Project, or (b) any Transfer.

35


        16.5 Acquiescence Not to Constitute Waiver of Lender’s Requirements. Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lender contained in this Agreement may be waived by Lender, provided, however, that to the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any construction or nonconstruction conditions precedent to any disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds.

        16.6 Disclaimer by Lender.

(a)     Lender shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Construction. Any inspections of the Construction made by or through Lender are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely upon the same with respect to the quality, adequacy or suitability of materials or workmanship, conformity to the Plans and Specifications, state of completion or otherwise;

(b)     Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with the Project, including matters relating to the quality, adequacy or suitability of: (i) the Plans and Specifications, (ii) architects, contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers employed or utilized in connection with the Construction, or the workmanship of or the materials used by any of them, or (iii) the progress or course of Construction and its conformity or nonconformity with the Plans and Specifications; Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information to Borrower by Lender in connection with such matters is for the protection of Lender only, and neither Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon; and

(c)     Lender owes no duty of care to protect Borrower or Guarantor against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective construction.

        16.7 Partial Invalidity; Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or provisions to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

        16.8 Definitions Include Amendments. Definitions contained in this Agreement which identify documents, including, but not limited to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of Lender. Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to this Agreement.

        16.9 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

36


        16.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower to Lender, embody the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

        16.11 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 Guarantor waives all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

        16.12 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. Guarantor is not intended to have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section.

        16.13 Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, including each party owning an interest in the Loan and their respective officers, directors, employees and consultants (each, an “Indemnified Party”) and defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against all claims, injury, damage, loss and liability, cost and expense (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) of any and every kind to any persons or property by reason of (a) the Construction; (b) the operation or maintenance of the Project; (c) any breach of representation or warranty, default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Related Document; or (d) any other matter arising in connection with the Loan, Borrower, Guarantor or the Project; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified against its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall survive repayment of the Loan and shall continue to benefit Lender following any assignment of the Loan with respect to matters arising or accruing prior to such assignment.

        16.14 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the foregoing restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in this Agreement, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

        16.15 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY/JURISDICTION.

(a)     BORROWER, BY ITS EXECUTION HEREOF, AND LENDER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LOAN OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR LENDER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF

37


THIS WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN, ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND (iii) THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.

(b)     WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), BORROWER IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE COUNTY OF DOUGLAS AND CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER AND STATE OF COLORADO, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

        16.16 Time is of the Essence. Borrower agrees that time is of the essence under this Agreement.

        16.17 Set-Offs. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender from time to time to charge Borrower’s accounts and deposits with Lender (or its Affiliates), and to pay over to Lender an amount equal to any amounts from time to time due and payable to Lender hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan Document. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and to all such accounts and deposits maintained by the Borrower with Lender (or its Affiliates).
