The Conversion Date may be extended on a one time basis for six months until June 1, 2018 upon the occurrence of the following:
the Owner shall have made a written request to the Bondholder at least 30 days and not more than 90 days prior to December 1, 2017 to extend the Conversion Date for six months to the date specified above;

the Owner pays to the Bondholder all out-of-pocket expenses associated with the extension including, without limitation, the fee referenced in clause (vii)(3) below;
all applicable regulatory requirements, including appraisal requirements, shall have been satisfied with respect to the extension; and
(1) the extension shall have been documented to the satisfaction of the Bondholder; (2) the Bondholder shall have received updated title coverage and endorsements and UCC, judgment and lien searches satisfactory to it; and (3) the Owner shall have paid to the Bondholder a non-refundable extension fee equal to 0.25% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Bonds.
(h) The Maturity Date for the Bonds may be extended beyond the Initial Maturity Date for up to three consecutive five-year periods to December 1, 2037, December 1, 2042 and December 1, 2047, respectively (each, a "Subsequent Maturity Date"), in each case upon delivery by the Owner to the Issuer and the Bondholder of a written notice and direction to extend the Maturity Date, which notice must be received by the Issuer and the Bondholder at least 60 but no more than 180 days prior to the then current Maturity Date. Such extension shall also be conditioned upon the following: (i) no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of delivery of the notice or on the extension date, (ii) there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the Project or the Owner, (iii) receipt of an opinion of Bond Counsel, in form acceptable to the Bondholder, to the effect that the extension does not affect the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the Bondholder for federal income tax purposes, and (iv) the satisfaction of such other conditions set forth in Section 2.16 hereof. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth above, the interest rate on the Bonds and the monthly principal and interest payment schedule shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 2.03(d) below.
Section 2.03. Interest Rates on Bonds, (a) During the Construction Period, the unpaid portion of the principal amount of the Bonds that has been advanced shall bear interest at the Construction Period Interest Rate. From and after the Conversion Date, the unpaid portion of the principal amount of the Bonds shall bear interest at the Permanent Interest Rate, subject to adjustment as described herein. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Bonds shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a 360-day year (that is, the Construction Period Interest Rate, the Permanent Interest Rate or the Past Due Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance. The parties acknowledges this will result in a higher rate of interest than if interest were calculated based on a 365-366 day year and waives any right to object to said basis of calculation. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Interest Payment Date shall be the calendar month immediately prior to such Interest Payment Date.
(b) LIBOR Monthly Rate. For purposes of calculating the interest rates on the Bonds from the Closing Date through the Initial Maturity Date, the term "LIBOR Monthly Rate" shall mean the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as reported on Bloomberg Financial Market's terminal
|1010|
screen entitled "Official ICE LIBOR Fixings" as reported two London Business Days prior to the effective date, unless such rate is no longer available or published, in which case such rate shall be at a comparable index rate selected by the Bondholder with notice to the Owner. The term "London Business Day" mans any date on which dealings in U.S. dollar deposits are transacted in the London interbank market. The Bondholder shall determine the LIBOR Monthly Rate based on the foregoing, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error.
Five Year LIBOR Swap Rate. For purposes of calculating the interest rate on the Bonds as of any date on which the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.02(h) hereof, the term "Five Year LIBOR Swap Rate" shall mean the Five Year LIBOR Swap Rate as published by the The Wall Street Journal.
Permanent Interest Rate Adjustments. During the period from the Conversion Date through the Initial Maturity Date, the LIBOR Monthly Rate component of the Permanent Interest Rate shall be adjusted as described in Section 2.03(b) above and the definition of Permanent Interest Rate. Further, if the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.02(h) hereof, the Permanent Interest Rate shall be reset on each such date of extension, to be effective for the five-year period commencing on the date of such extension through the next subsequent Maturity Date. On each extension date, the monthly payment of principal and interest shall be adjusted for the following five years to reflect the new Permanent Interest Rate in effect and the remainder of the 30-year amortization period.
Alternate Rates. During the period from the Closing Date through the Maturity Date, if the Bondholder determines that no adequate basis exists for determining the LIBOR Monthly Rate or the Five Year LIBOR Swap Rate, as the case may be, or that the LIBOR Monthly Rate or the Five Year LIBOR Swap Rate, as the case may be, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bondholder of purchasing the Bonds for the purpose of funding the Loan, or that any applicable law or regulation or compliance therewith by the Bondholder prohibits, restricts or makes impossible the charging of interest based on the LIBOR Monthly Rate or the Five Year LIBOR Swap Rate, as the case may be, and the Bondholder so notifies the Owner, then until the Bondholder notifies the Owner that the circumstances no longer exist which rendered the LIBOR Monthly Rate or the Five Year LIBOR Swap Rate, as the case may be, unavailable (or under which the Bondholder determined that the LIBOR Monthly Rate or the Five Year LIBOR Swap Rate, as the case may be, did not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bondholder of purchasing the Bonds for the purpose of funding the Loan), interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Bonds from the date the Bondholder so notifies the Owner until the Maturity Date of the Bond (whether by acceleration, declaration, extension or otherwise) at a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the Alternate Rate.
Past Due Rate. If any amount payable by the Owner under the Loan Agreement or the Owner Note is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Past Due Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand, at the Past Due Rate.
Section 2.04. Payment Dates.
(a) Interest Payment Dates.

THE BONDS SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE ISSUER, THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT PROVISION.
|1010|
Section 2.09. Authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Bond Issuance Agreement unless and until a certificate of authentication on such Bond, substantially in the form herein set forth, shall have been duly executed by the Fiscal Agent, and such executed certificate of the Fiscal Agent upon a Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Bond Issuance Agreement. The Fiscal Agent's certificate of authentication on a Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by it if manually signed by an authorized signatory of the Fiscal Agent.
Section 2.10. Form of the Bonds and Temporary Bonds, (a) The Bonds, and the Fiscal Agent's certificates of authentication to be endorsed thereon, shall be in substantially the form herein set forth, with such variations, omissions and insertions as are permitted or required by this Bond Issuance Agreement. The Bonds shall provide that the principal thereof and interest thereon shall be payable only out of Revenues.
(b) A Bond may be initially issued in temporary form exchangeable for a definitive Bond when ready for delivery. Each temporary Bond shall be in the same denomination as the Bond it is issued in lieu of, and such temporary Bond may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Bond Issuance Agreement as the Issuer may deem appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the Issuer and shall be authenticated by the Fiscal Agent upon the same conditions, and in substantially the same manner, as the definitive Bond it is issued in lieu of. If the Issuer issues a temporary Bond in lieu of a definitive Bond, the Issuer shall execute and furnish the definitive Bond without delay, and thereupon the temporary Bond shall be surrendered for cancellation in exchange therefor at the Designated Office of the Fiscal Agent, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Bond a definitive registered Bond of the same series and maturity, and in the same denomination bearing the same interest rate. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bond shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Bond Issuance Agreement as the definitive Bond it is issued in lieu of, but only to the extent that such temporary Bond is authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.11. Delivery of the Bonds, (a) Upon (i) receipt by the Issuer of a duly executed Investor Letter from the Bondholder, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Bond Issuance Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Bonds, the Owner Note, the Owner Collateral Documents and the Tax Certificate and the delivery of the Security for the Bonds, (iii) the execution, delivery and recording of the Land Use Restriction Agreements, and the receipt by the Issuer of evidence of the priority of the Land Use Restriction Agreements over the Owner Collateral Documents, (iv) delivery by the Issuer to the Fiscal Agent of a copy of the Ordinance, certified by the Issuer to be in full force and effect, and (v) receipt by the Issuer of an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the Bonds have been duly authorized and issued, and that interest thereon is excluded from gross income of the owners thereof for Federal income tax purposes, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Fiscal Agent and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver the Bonds to the Bondholder as directed by the Issuer.
Advances of proceeds under the Bonds shall be paid by the Bondholder over to the Fiscal Agent as received from time to time and deposited in the Construction Fund pursuant to Article IV hereof. Promptly following the approval by the Bondholder of each written request for a disbursement of Bond proceeds in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Bondholder shall advance to the Fiscal Agent sufficient moneys to permit the Fiscal Agent to make the approved disbursement in question (taking into account for such purpose any available moneys in the Construction Fund that were previously advanced under paragraph (c) of this Section 2.11 and not yet disbursed).
At the time of the authentication and delivery of the Bonds to the Bondholder as directed by the Issuer, the Bondholder shall fund a drawing on the Bonds of an amount in excess of $50,000.
|1010|
Section 2.12. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In the event any Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer may execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like date, maturity, series, interest rate and denomination as the Bond mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed. In each such case, the applicant for a substitute Bond shall furnish to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless. In each case of loss, theft or destruction, the applicant shall furnish to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft or destruction of such Bond and of the ownership thereof, and in each case of the mutilation of any Bond, the applicant shall surrender the mutilated Bond to the Fiscal Agent. Upon the issuance of a substitute Bond, the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses and fees connected therewith. In the event any Bond has matured or is about to mature and is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Issuer may, instead of the issuing a substitute Bond as permitted by this Section, pay or authorize the payment of the same upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth above.
Section 2.13. Bond Registrar; Registration Books; Persons Treated as Bondholder; Restrictions on Transfer, (a) The Fiscal Agent, which is hereby constituted and appointed the Bond Registrar of the Issuer, shall keep books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, as provided in this Bond Issuance Agreement. Upon surrender for transfer of the Bonds at the Designated Office of the Fiscal Agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent and duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and accompanied by a Qualified Transferee Letter executed by the party to whom the Bonds are to be transferred, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee, new Bonds of the same series, interest rates and maturities for like principal amounts. No Bond may be transferred in part, and all Bonds shall be transferred as a whole, so at all times there is but one registered owner of all of the Bonds issued and outstanding hereunder; provided that the Bondholder may, subject to applicable law, transfer participations in the Bonds. Upon the making of any such transfer, the transferor may assign to the transferee its interests in, to and under the Owner Note and the Owner Collateral Documents, and in the event of any such assignment, the transferor shall notify the Issuer and the Owner of such assignment.
Any exchange of a temporary Bond for a definitive Bond shall be without charge, except for the payment of any tax, fee or other governmental charge. With respect to any other exchange or transfer, the Fiscal Agent may charge a sum not exceeding the actual cost (if any) of printing new Bonds to be issued upon such exchange or transfer, together with reasonable expenses of the Fiscal Agent in connection therewith. In each case the Fiscal Agent shall require the payment by the registered owner of the Bond requesting exchange, registration or transfer, of any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange, registration or transfer. All Bonds surrendered upon exchange or transfer provided for in this Bond Issuance Agreement shall be promptly cancelled by the Fiscal Agent and thereafter disposed of in accordance with Section 2.14 hereof.
The Person in whose name the Bonds shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of principal thereof or interest thereon, shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative, but such registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Section 2.14. Cancellation of Bonds. Whenever any Bond shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation pursuant to this Bond Issuance Agreement, upon payment of the principal and interest represented thereby, or for replacement, transfer or exchange pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof,
|10 10|
such Bond shall be promptly cancelled and destroyed by the Fiscal Agent, and a certificate as to such cancellation and destruction shall be furnished by the Fiscal Agent to the Issuer and the Owner.
Section 2.15. Conditions to Bondholder's Purchase of Bonds. The Bondholder's obligation to purchase and accept the delivery of the Bonds is expressly conditioned upon the following:
No Event of Default or Default shall exist hereunder;
The representations and warranties of the Issuer contained herein and in the Loan Agreement shall not prove to be incorrect or misleading in any material respect;

the conditions precedent to the first disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan set forth in Articles X and XI of the Loan Agreement have been satisfied; and

Section 2.16. Conditions to Extension of Maturity Date of Bonds. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(h) hereof, the extension of the Maturity Date of the Bonds shall be conditioned upon receipt by the Bondholder of a certificate of an authorized officer of the Owner, demonstrating compliance with the following financial covenants:
Debt Service Coverage Ratio. The average of the Annual Net Operating Income for the Project for the immediately preceding two years is at least 1.15 times the Projected Annual Debt Service on the Project. "Annual Net Operating Income" means the excess of the annual operating revenues of the Project less the annual operating expenses of the Project, plus interest, amortization and depreciation, all as shown in the Owner's audited financial statements. "Projected Annual Debt Service" means the projected annual principal of and interest on the Bonds and any other Indebtedness of the Owner for the upcoming period. In determining the interest on the Bonds, it shall be assumed that the Bonds bear interest at the greater of 6% per annum or the interest rate on the Bonds during the upcoming period calculated as provided in Section 2.03 hereof. Principal of the Bonds shall be determined in accordance with the amortization schedule to be in effect during such new five-year period.
Loan-to-Value Requirement. The then outstanding principal amount of the Bonds shall not then be greater than 75% of the Value (as defined below) of the Premises. "Value" means the value of the Premises as shown in an appraisal dated no more than six months prior to the extension date. Such appraisal shall be paid for by the Owner, shall be prepared by a licensed appraiser acceptable to the Bondhodler and shall be addressed to the Bondholder.

The Issuer represents that it is duly authorized pursuant to the Ordinance to issue the Bonds, to execute this Bond Issuance Agreement, to pledge and assign the Loan Agreement, the Owner Note and the Security for the Bonds, and the amounts payable under the Loan Agreement, the Owner Note and the Security for the Bonds, in the manner and to the extent set forth herein; that all action on its part required for the issuance of the Bonds and the execution and delivery of this Bond Issuance Agreement has been duly and effectively taken; and that each of the Bonds in the hands of the Bondholder is and will be a valid and enforceable obligation of the Issuer according to the terms thereof and hereof.

The Issuer covenants and agrees that, except as herein and in the Loan Agreement provided, it will not sell, convey, mortgage, encumber or otherwise
14
dispose of any part of its interest in and to the Loan Agreement, the Owner Note, the Security for the Bonds or the Revenues.

Section 6.07. Prohibited Activities. The Issuer covenants and agrees that it has not engaged, and will not engage, in any activities, and that it has not taken, and will not take, any action, that might result in any interest on the Bonds becoming includible in the gross income of the owner of the Bonds under Federal income tax laws.

The Issuer shall not take any action within its power or fail to take any action of which it has knowledge with respect to the investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, including, without limitation, moneys on deposit in any Fund or Account in connection with the Bonds, whether or not such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other
15
sources, or with respect to the payments derived from the Owner Note which may result in constituting the Bonds an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of such term as used in Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations. The Issuer further covenants to create a rebate fund upon direction by the Owner to facilitate the payment of any rebatable arbitrage that may arise.

16
and the Owner, declare the entire principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable, and such principal and interest shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable, subject, however, to the right of the Bondholder, by written notice to the Issuer and the Owner, to annul such declaration and rescind its effect as hereinafter provided.

Other Remedies; Rights of Bondholder, (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Bondholder may exercise and enforce such rights as exist under the Loan Agreement and the Owner Collateral Documents or pursue any available remedy by suit at law or in equity or by statute to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, or to enforce any obligations of the Issuer hereunder.
No remedy by the terms of this Bond Issuance Agreement conferred upon or reserved to the Bondholder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy given to the Bondholder hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and such right and power may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or shall impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.
All remedies for which provision is made in this Bond Issuance Agreement shall be available only to the extent such remedies are not prohibited by the laws of the State of Illinois, decisions of courts of the State of Illinois or any other applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation or court decision.
Section 7.04. Appointment of Receivers. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Bondholder under this Bond Issuance Agreement, the Bondholder shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Security for the Bonds and of the revenues, earnings and income thereof, pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.
Section 7.05. Waiver of Rights. Except as specified in Section 7.09 hereof, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to the extent that such rights may then lawfully be waived, neither the Issuer, nor anyone claiming through or under the Issuer, shall set up, claim, or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Bond Issuance Agreement, and the Issuer, for itself and all who may claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the extent that it lawfully may do so, the benefit of all such laws.
Section 7.06. Application of Funds. All funds received by the Bondholder pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article, after payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of the expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Bondholder or the Issuer, shall be applied to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds on the basis set forth in Section 4.01 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Bond Issuance Agreement to the contrary, funds received by the Bondholder may be applied (a) as long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, with respect to payments and other amounts then due under the Owner Note, or, if all such payments and other amounts, if any, have been paid, may be
17
applied as directed by the Owner, and (b) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to satisfy amounts due the Bondholder as directed and in such order as determined by the Bondholder.
Section 7.07. Termination of Proceedings. In case the Bondholder shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Bond Issuance Agreement by the appointment of a receiver or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Owner, the Fiscal Agent and the Bondholder shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Bondholder shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken.
Section 7.08. Termination of Bond Issuance Agreement.

Any such reassignment shall be without recourse upon, or representation or warranty by, the Bondholder and shall be at the cost and expense of the Owner. Should a claim ("Recovery Claim") be made upon the Bondholder at any time for recovery of any amount received by the Bondholder in payment of the Bonds (whether received from the Issuer, the Owner or otherwise), and should the Bondholder repay all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Bondholder or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such Recovery Claim effected by the Bondholder with any such claimant (including, without limitation, the Owner), this Bond Issuance Agreement and the security interests granted to the Bondholder pursuant hereto shall continue in effect with respect to the amount so repaid to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Bondholder, notwithstanding any prior termination of this Bond Issuance Agreement, the return of this Bond Issuance Agreement to the Issuer or cancellation of the Bonds.

Section 7.10. Cooperation of the Issuer. If an Event of Default hereunder shall occur, the Issuer shall cooperate with the Bondholder and use its best efforts to protect the interests of the Bondholder with respect to this Bond Issuance Agreement, the Bonds, the Security for the Bonds and the Revenues.

Section 2.2. Repayment of Loan and Payment of Other Amounts.
Owner Note. In order to evidence its obligation to repay the Loan made hereunder by the Issuer, the Owner shall authorize, execute and deliver the Owner Note, which Owner Note shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The terms and conditions of the Owner Note are hereby incorporated into this Section with the same effect as if fully set forth herein. The Owner agrees to pay all of its obligations in full under this Loan Agreement and the Owner Note, subject to Section 14.1 hereof.
Mandatory Payments under the Bonds. It is the intent of the Owner and the Issuer that, notwithstanding any schedule of payments contained in the Owner Note, the payments to be made by the Owner on the Owner Note shall at all times be sufficient to enable the Issuer to pay when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds; provided, however, that if for any reason the funds available to the Issuer are at any time insufficient or unavailable to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds when due (whether at maturity or upon redemption or acceleration), the Owner shall forthwith pay directly to the Bondholder, in immediately available funds, the amount required to make up such deficiency, or shall take such other action as may be necessary to make sufficient funds available to make such payment. All such payments made to the Bondholder with respect to the Bonds shall be made by the Owner on behalf of the Issuer, shall be deemed a credit against the Liabilities, and shall be applied against the Issuer's payment obligations under Bonds.
Payments to Fiscal Agent. The Owner shall pay to the Fiscal Agent until the principal of and interest on the Owner Note shall have been fully paid, the reasonable fees, charges and expenses (if any) of the Fiscal Agent, as fiscal agent and Bond registrar, as and when the same become due. The Owner further agrees to indemnify the Fiscal Agent for, and to defend and hold the Fiscal Agent harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
|1010|
negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with its powers or duties hereunder and under the Bond Issuance Agreement, including, but not limited to, the cost and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise of any of such powers or performance of any such duties.
(d) Payments to Issuer. The Owner shall pay to the Issuer (i) an Issuer fee equal to 1.5% of the authorized stated principal amount of the Bonds, payable on the Closing Date, and (ii) an annual administrative fee equal to 0.0015% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Bonds, which shall accrue monthly and be payable semi-annually on June 1, 2016 and on each December 1 and June 1 thereafter while the Bonds are outstanding.
Section 2.3. Payment, (a) Payments under the Owner Note. The Owner will promptly and punctually pay all amounts payable with respect to the Owner Note, without any presentment of the Owner Note, notice of nonpayment (except as otherwise expressly set forth therein), notice of dishonor or notice of protest, and without any notation of such payment being made thereon, directly to the Bondholder in immediately available funds by wire transfer originated by the Owner not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on each payment date, such payment to be marked for attention as indicated, or by charging an account of the Owner established with the Bondholder, which charge is hereby authorized by the Owner. The Owner Note is subject to assignment as set forth in Section 4.2 hereof. Payments with respect to the Owner Note shall be made by wire transfer pursuant to the wire transfer instructions attached hereto as Exhibit D, or such other replacement wire transfer instructions as shall be provided in writing by Bondholder to Owner.
Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. In any case where the date of payment of principal of or interest on the Owner Note or the Bonds, or the date fixed for prepayment of all or a portion of the Owner Note or the Bonds, as applicable, shall be other than a Business Day, then such payment need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and the Owner Note and the Bonds shall continue to bear interest until such date of actual payment.
Payment Notations. The Bondholder shall make a notation on the Owner Note on the payment record thereon, or in the Bondholder's books and records, of each principal and interest payment made pursuant to this Section 2.3 and the date to which interest has been paid. The information so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the accuracy thereof. The failure to so record any such information, or any error in so recording any such information, shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Owner hereunder or under the Owner Note to repay the principal balance thereof together with all interest accruing thereon.
Manner of Payment. The principal of and interest on the Owner Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America; such principal and interest shall be payable at the principal office of the Bondholder.
Return of Collateral. Upon payment in full of the Owner Note and termination of this Loan Agreement, the Issuer shall or shall cause the Fiscal Agent to, on a timely basis, reassign and redeliver (or cause to be reassigned and redelivered) to the Owner, or
|1010|
to such Person or Persons as the Owner shall designate, against receipt, such of the collateral (if any) assigned by the Owner to the Issuer as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied by the Issuer pursuant to the terms hereof and as shall still be held by it or the Fiscal Agent hereunder, together with appropriate instruments of reassignment and release, including, without limitation, UCC termination statements; it shall be the obligation of the Owner to provide all such instruments of reassignment and release. Any such reassignment shall be without recourse upon, or representation or warranty by, the Issuer, and shall be at the cost and expense of the Owner. If a claim is made upon the Issuer (or any assignee of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, the Bondholder) at any time for recovery of any amount received by the Issuer (or such assignee) in payment of the Owner Note, whether received from the Owner or otherwise (a "Recovery Claim"), and should the Issuer (or such assignee) repay all or part of said amount by reason of: (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any assignee of the Issuer, or the Property of either thereof; or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such Recovery Claim effected by the affected party with the claimant (including the Owner), this Loan Agreement, the Owner Collateral Documents and the Security for the Bonds shall continue in effect with respect to the amount so repaid to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Issuer or such assignee, notwithstanding any prior termination of this Loan Agreement, the return of this Loan Agreement, the Owner Collateral Documents or any of the Security for the Bonds to the Owner (or any designee of the Owner), or the cancellation of the Owner Note.
Section 2.4. Interest Rates. The interest rate per annum payable on the Owner Note shall be equal to the interest rate payable from time to time on the Bonds as provided in Article II of the Bond Issuance Agreement. Interest on the Owner Note shall be payable at such times as interest is payable on the Bonds under the provisions of the Bond Issuance Agreement.
Section 2.5. Interest on Amounts Past Due. Notwithstanding anything in this Article II to the contrary, if the Owner shall fail to make any of the payments required to be made by it under this Agreement or under the Owner Note, including, without limitation, any mandatory prepayments required by Section 3.1(b) of this Agreement, such payments shall continue as an obligation of the Owner until the unpaid amount so overdue shall have been fully paid, and interest on the Owner Note shall continue to accrue from the date such payment was due until the date such payment is made or the date the Owner Note has been repaid in full, whichever is earlier, at the applicable Past Due Rate described in Section 2.03(f) of the Bond Issuance Agreement with respect to interest on overdue payments under the Bonds.
Section 2.6. Application of Payments. All payments on account of indebtedness outstanding under the Owner Note shall be first applied to interest on the unpaid principal balance, and the remainder to the unpaid principal balance, of the Owner Note.
Section 2.7. Event of Default under the Bond Issuance Agreement. Upon a declaration of acceleration by the Bondholder under Section 7.02 of the Bond Issuance Agreement, an amount equal to the outstanding principal of the Owner Note, together with accrued interest due thereon, shall become immediately due and payable hereunder, and thereafter, to the extent not previously issued, the Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue further Bonds or make further Loans (or disbursement of Loans) ofthe proceeds thereof.
|1010|
Section 2.8. No Defense or Set-off; Unconditional Obligation, (a) The obligation of the Owner to make the payments required to be made by it herein, the obligation of the Owner to make the payments pursuant to the Owner Note, and the obligation of the Owner to perform and observe fully all other agreements, obligations and covenants on its part contained herein shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any defense or any rights of set-off, recoupment, abatement or counterclaim it might otherwise have against the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent or the Bondholder.

Nothing in this Loan Agreement shall be construed as a waiver by the Owner of any rights or claims the Owner may have against the Issuer under this Loan Agreement or otherwise, but any recovery upon such rights and claims shall be had from the Issuer separately, it being the intent of this Loan Agreement that, except as provided in Section 14.1 hereof, the Owner shall be unconditionally and absolutely obligated, without right of set-off or abatement, to perform fully all of its obligations, agreements and covenants under this Loan Agreement and the Owner Note for the benefit ofthe Issuer and the Bondholder.

Section 4.1. Limited Obligation of Issuer. The obligations of the Issuer under this Loan Agreement are special, limited obligations of the Issuer, payable solely out of the Revenues. The obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall not be deemed to constitute an indebtedness or an obligation of the Issuer, the State of Illinois or any political subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional limitation or statutory provision, or a charge against the credit or general taxing powers, if any, of any of them.
Section 4.2. Assignment of Issuer's Rights. As security for the payment of the Bonds, the Issuer will, pursuant to the Bond Issuance Agreement, assign and pledge to the Bondholder all of the Issuer's right, title and interest in and to this Loan Agreement and the Owner Note, except that it will retain the Issuer Reserved Rights, but such retention by the Issuer will not limit in any way the exercise by the Bondholder of its rights hereunder, under the Bond Issuance Agreement, the Owner Note, the Bonds and the Security for the Bonds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer hereby directs the Owner to make all payments under this Loan Agreement (except with respect to the Issuer Reserved Rights) and the Owner Note directly to the Bondholder. The Owner hereby acknowledges and consents to such pledge and assignment, and agrees to make payments directly to the Bondholder (except with respect to the Issuer Reserved Rights), without defense or set-off, recoupment or counterclaim by reason of any dispute between the Owner on the one hand, and the Bondholder, the Fiscal Agent or the Issuer on the other hand, or otherwise. After any such assignment and pledge referenced in this Loan Agreement, the Bond Issuance Agreement, the Bonds, the Owner Note or the Security for the Bonds, all rights, interest and benefits accruing to the Issuer under this Loan Agreement or the Owner Note, except for the Issuer Reserved Rights, shall be assigned to and become the rights and benefits of the Bondholder. Any obligations of the Issuer as provided in the Bond Issuance Agreement, this Loan Agreement, the Bonds or the Owner Note shall remain the obligations of the Issuer to the extent provided herein and therein after such assignment. The Issuer agrees that the Bondholder, in its name or in the name of the Issuer, may enforce all rights of the Issuer (other than the Issuer Reserved Rights) and all obligations of the Owner under and pursuant to the assigned documents as aforesaid, and the Issuer will not enforce such rights and
10
obligations itself except at the written direction of the Bondholder, in each case whether or not the Issuer is in Default hereunder.

Section 7.2. Taxes, Charges and Assessments. The Owner shall pay or cause to be paid on or before the date they become due, all taxes (except taxes imposed on gross or net income), duties, charges, assessments and impositions on, or on account of, the use, occupancy or operation of the Project, and on any payments under this Loan Agreement or under the Owner Note. The Owner shall promptly pay when due all amounts except such as the Owner is diligently contesting in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided that the Owner has provided for and is maintaining adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or a bond or other acceptable form of security to assure payment is made.
Section 7.3. Compliance with Orders, Ordinances, Etc. The Owner shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all current and future applicable Government Regulations, the failure
17
to comply with which would materially and adversely affect the Project or the use, occupancy or condition thereof. The Owner shall have the right to contest any such Government Regulation and, in the event of any such contest, may refrain from complying therewith during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom; provided that it has furnished additional security satisfactory to the Bondholder for any loss or damage that the Bondholder may sustain by reason of such non-compliance.
Section 7.4. Books, Records and Inspections. The Owner shall maintain complete and accurate books and records (including records relating to the Project), and, during reasonable times and upon reasonable notice (except upon an Event of Default when no such notice shall be required), shall permit the Issuer and the Bondholder to have full and complete access to such books and records of the Owner, and shall permit the Issuer and the Bondholder to visit, audit, examine, copy and inspect, as applicable, the Owner's books and records, offices, Premises and operations, at the sole cost and expense of the Owner. The Issuer and the Bondholder have no duty to visit the Premises, to supervise or observe construction or to examine any books or records. Any site visit, observation or examination by the Issuer or the Bondholder is solely for the purpose of protecting their respective rights and interests. No site visit, observation or examination by the Issuer or the Bondholder will impose any liability on the Issuer or the Bondholder or result in a waiver of any Event of Default of the Owner or be a representation that the Owner is or will be in compliance with the approved Plans and Specifications for the Project, that the construction of the Project is free from defective materials or workmanship, or that the construction complies with all applicable laws, ordinance and regulations. Neither the Owner, nor any other party, is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or examination by the Issuer or the Bondholder. The Issuer and the Bondholder owe no duty of care to protect the Owner or any other party against, or to inform the Owner or any other party of, any negligent or defective design or construction of the Project or any other adverse condition affecting the Premises.
Section 7.5. Change in Nature of Operations. The Owner shall not make any material change in the nature of its operations carried on as of the date of issuance of the Bonds unless consented to in writing by the Issuer and the Bondholder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Investor Member shall be permitted to remove the Manager Member and replace the Manager Member with an affiliate of the Investor Member in accordance with the Operating Agreement without the consent of the Bondholder, provided that (a) the membership interests of any such substitute Manager Member shall be subject to the Bondholder's security interests pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, and (b) any such substitute Manager Member shall execute any and all documents, including security agreements and financing statements, as the Bondholder may reasonably request in order to create, perfect, or continue such security interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the substitute Manager Member shall assume all the rights and obligations of the Manager Member under all of the Loan Documents.
18
After all equity contributions have been made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement, such Investor Member interests shall be transferable without the consent of either the Bondholder or the Issuer. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Investor Member interests shall be transferable (a) at any time without the consent of the Issuer, so long as such interest is transferred to an affiliate of the Investor Member; and (b) at any time without the consent of the Bondholder, so long as such interest is transferred to Hunt Capital Partners Tax Credit Fund 10, LP; provided, however, that any other Investor Member transfers prior to the payment of the equity contribution shall require Bondholder and Issuer consent.
The Owner shall be permitted to amend the Operating Agreement to reflect such removal and substitution of the Manager Member or permitted transfer of the Investor Member's interests without the consent of the Issuer or the Bondholder to the extent such transfer is permitted without consent as provided above.
Section 7.7. Transfer of Project. Absent the prior written consent of the Bondholder and the Issuer, the Owner shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Project or any portion thereof (other than sales or other dispositions of obsolete equipment or fixtures in the ordinary course of business) while the Bonds are Outstanding.
Section 7.8. Environmental Requirements; Indemnity.
As between the Issuer and the Owner, the Issuer and the Owner agree and understand that the terms and provisions of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall govern all indemnifications from the Owner to the Issuer with respect to environmental matters affecting the Project. The terms and provisions of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein with respect to such relationship. As such, the balance of the provisions of this Section govern only the relationship between the Owner and the Bondholder with respect to indemnifications from the Owner to the Bondholder with regard to environmental matters affecting the Project.
For purposes of this Section 7.8, the term "Hazardous Substance" means and includes any substance, material or waste, including asbestos, petroleum and petroleum products (including crude oil), that is or becomes designated, classified or regulated as "toxic," "hazardous" or a "pollutant," or that is or becomes similarly designated, classified or regulated, under any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance, but does not include any such substance that is a customary and ordinary household, cleaning or office product used on the Premises by Owner or any tenant or agent of Owner, or customary construction materials used during the course of construction of the Project by the Owner and its general contractor, provided such use is in accordance with applicable hazardous materials laws.
Before signing this Agreement, the Owner researched and inquired into the previous uses and owners of the Premises and obtained a Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessment and other reports with respect to the environmental conditions of the Premises, copies of which have been delivered to the Bondholder. Based on that due diligence, the Owner represents and warrants to the Bondholder that, except as the Owner has disclosed to the Bondholder in writing and as described in the Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessment, and the forthcoming No Further Remediation Letter to be issued by the Illinois
19
Environmental Protection Agency in connection with the enrollment of the Premises in the Site Remediation Program, to the best of the Owner's knowledge, (i) no Hazardous Substance has been disposed of, or released to or from, or otherwise now exists in, on, under or around, the Premises, and (ii) no aboveground or underground storage tanks are now or have ever been located on or under the Premises.
The Owner has complied, and will comply and cause all tenants and any other persons who may come upon the Premises to comply in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances governing or applicable to Hazardous Substances ("Environmental Laws"), including those requiring disclosures to prospective and actual buyers or tenants of all or any portion of the Premises. The Owner will not install or allow to be installed any aboveground or underground storage tanks on the Premises. The Owner must comply with the recommendations of any qualified environmental engineer or other expert engaged by the Owner with respect to the Premises. The Owner must promptly notify the Bondholder in writing (i) if it knows, suspects or believes there may be any Hazardous Substance in or around any part of the Premises, any improvements constructed on the Premises, or the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Premises, or that the Owner or the Premises may be subject to any threatened or pending investigation by any governmental agency under any law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to any Hazardous Substance, and (ii) of any claim made or threatened by any person, other than a governmental agency, against the Owner arising out of or resulting from any Hazardous Substance being present or released in, on or around any part of the Premises, any Improvements constructed on the Premises or the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Premises (any of the matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) above a "Hazardous Substances Claim").
The Bondholder, and its respective officers, employees, directors, agents, parent, subsidiary, affiliates, assignees, and any purchasers of the Premises at any foreclosure sale with respect to the Mortgage (each individually, an "Indemnified Party," and all collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), have the right at any reasonable time and upon notice to the Owner to enter and visit the Premises for the purposes of observing the Premises, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples and conducting tests on any part of the Premises. The Indemnified Parties have no duty, however, to visit or observe the Premises or to conduct tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party imposes any liability on any Indemnified Party. In no event will any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party be a representation that Hazardous Substances are or are not present in, on or under the Premises, or that there has been or will be compliance with any law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to Hazardous Substances or any other applicable governmental law. Neither the Owner nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party. The Owner waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any such duty of care on the part of the Indemnified Parties or any other party to protect the Owner or inform the Owner or any other party of any Hazardous Substances or any other adverse condition affecting the Premises. Any Indemnified Party will give the Owner reasonable notice before entering the Premises. The Indemnified Party will make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with the Owner's use of the Premises in exercising any rights provided in this Section. The Owner must pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with any inspection or testing conducted in accordance with this subsection if the same are performed as a result of any violation or potential violation, as determined in Bondholder's reasonable discretion, of
20
Environmental Laws. The results of all investigations conducted and/or reports prepared by or for any Indemnified Party must at all times remain the property of the Indemnified Party, and under no circumstances will any Indemnified Party have any obligation whatsoever to disclose or otherwise make available to the Owner or any other party the results or any other information obtained by any of them in connection with the investigations and reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties hereby reserve the right, and the Owner hereby expressly authorizes any Indemnified Party, to make available to any party (including any governmental agency or authority and any prospective bidder at any foreclosure sale of the Premises with respect to the Mortgage) any and all reports, whether prepared by any Indemnified Party or prepared by the Owner and provided to any Indemnified Party (collectively, "Environmental Reports") that any Indemnified Party may have with respect to the Premises. The Owner consents to the Indemnified Parties' notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the availability of any or all of the Environmental Reports and the information contained therein. The Owner acknowledges that the Indemnified Parties cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the Environmental Reports and that the release of the Environmental Reports, or any information contained therein, to prospective bidders at any foreclosure sale of the Premises with respect to the Mortgage may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount that a party may bid at such sale. The Owner agrees that the Indemnified Parties have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering any or all of the Environmental Reports or any information contained therein to any third party, and the Owner hereby releases and forever discharges the Indemnified Parties from any and all claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the Environmental Reports or the delivery thereof.
The Owner must promptly undertake any and all remedial work ("Remedial Work") in response to Hazardous Substances Claims to the extent required by governmental agency or agencies involved or as recommended by prudent business practices, if such standard requires a higher degree of remediation, and in all events to minimize any impairment to the Bondholder's security under the Owner Collateral Documents. All Remedial Work must be conducted (i) in a diligent and timely fashion by licensed contractors acting under the supervision of a consulting environmental engineer, (ii) pursuant to a detailed written plan for the Remedial Work approved by all public or private agencies or persons with a legal or contractual right to such approval, (iii) with insurance coverage pertaining to liabilities arising out of the Remedial Work as is then customarily maintained with respect to such activities, and (iv) only following receipt of any required permits, licenses or approvals. The selection of the Remedial Work contractors and consulting environmental engineer, the contracts entered into with such parties, any disclosures to or agreements with any public or private agencies or parties relating to Remedial Work and the written plan for the Remedial Work (and any changes thereto) at the Bondholder's option, is subject to the Bondholder's prior written approval, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The obligations and rights of the parties under this Section 7.8 are secured by the Mortgage until the first to occur of full, final and indefeasible repayment of the Liabilities or the transfer of title to all or any part of the Premises at a foreclosure sale under the Mortgage or by deed in lieu of such foreclosure (any of the foregoing transfers being referred to as a "Foreclosure Transfer"). The parties' obligations and rights under this Section 7.8 continue in full force and effect after the full and final payment of the Liabilities or a Foreclosure Transfer,
21
as the case may be, but (i) in the case of a full and final payment of the Liabilities, the Owner's obligations under this Section 7.8 are thereafter limited to the indemnification obligations of subsections (h) and (i) below as to Indemnified Costs (as defined below) arising out of or as a result of events prior to the full and final payment of the Liabilities, and (ii) in the case of a Foreclosure Transfer, the obligations do not include the obligation to reimburse any Indemnified Party for diminution in value of the Premises resulting from the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Premises before the date of the Foreclosure Transfer if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Party recovers on a deficiency judgment including compensation for such diminution in value; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence impairs or limits an Indemnified Party's right to obtain a judgment in accordance with applicable law for any deficiency in recovery of all obligations that are secured by the Mortgage, subject to the provisions of Section 14.1 hereof. As used in this Section 7.8, the term "Indemnified Costs" means all actual or threatened liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action, judgments, orders, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages), costs, expenses, fines, penalties and losses incurred in connection with Hazardous Substances on the Property (including sums paid in settlement of claims and all consultant, expert and reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Bondholder's counsel), including those incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work (whether of the Premises or any other property), or any resulting damages, harm or injuries to the person or property of any third parties or to any natural resources.
(h) Unless due to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the
Indemnified Parties, the Owner shall indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties
harmless for, from and against any and all Indemnified Costs directly or indirectly arising out of
or resulting from any Hazardous Substance being present or released in, on or around any part of
the Premises, or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Premises, including: (i)
any claim for such Indemnified Costs asserted against any Indemnified Party by any federal,
state or local governmental agency, including the United States Environmental Protection
Agency and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and including any claim that any
Indemnified Party is liable for any such Indemnified Costs as an "owner" or "operator" of the
Premises under any law relating to Hazardous Substances; (ii) any claim for such Indemnified
Costs asserted against any Indemnified Party by any person other than a governmental agency,
including (1) any person who may purchase or lease all or any portion of the Premises from the
Owner, from any Indemnified Party or from any other purchaser or lessee, (2) any person who
may at any time have any interest in all or any portion of the Premises, (3) any person who may
at any time be responsible for any clean-up costs or other Indemnified Costs relating to the
Premises, and (4) any person claiming to have been injured in any way as a result of exposure to
any Hazardous Substance; (iii) any Indemnified Costs incurred by any Indemnified Party in the
exercise by the Indemnified Party of its rights and remedies under this Section 7.8; and (iv) any
Indemnified Costs incurred by any Indemnified Party as a result of currently existing conditions
in, on or around the Premises, whether known or unknown by the Owner or the Indemnified
Parties at the time this Agreement is executed, or attributable to the acts or omissions of the
Owner, any ofthe Owner's tenants, or any other person in, on or around the Premises with the
consent or under the direction of the Owner.
(i) Unless due to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the
Indemnified Parties, upon demand by any Indemnified Party, the Owner must defend any
22
investigation, action or proceeding involving any Indemnified Costs that is brought or commenced against any Indemnified Party, whether alone or together with the Owner or any other person, all at the Owner's own cost and by counsel approved by the Indemnified Party. In the alternative, any Indemnified Party may elect to conduct its own defense at the Owner's expense.
(j) In addition to any other rights or remedies the Bondholder may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Bondholder may do or cause to be done whatever is necessary to cause the Premises to comply with any and all laws, regulations and ordinances governing or applicable to Hazardous Substances, and any other applicable law, rule, regulation, order or agreement, and the cost thereof will become immediately due and payable upon demand by the Bondholder, and if not paid when due will accrue interest at the default rate set forth in the Bonds, until paid. The Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that any amounts realized by the Bondholder by reason of the following may be applied to pay the Liabilities prior to being applied to pay the Owner's obligations to reimburse the Bondholder for costs and expenses, including those incurred by the Bondholder in enforcing its rights and remedies under the provisions of this Section 7.8: (i) any payments made pursuant to the Bonds or any of the Owner Collateral Documents (other than payments made to the Bondholder for reimbursement of costs and expenses or for enforcement of its rights and remedies, under the provisions of this Section 7.8); (ii) any foreclosure of the Mortgage or the other documents evidencing or securing the Liabilities (including any amounts realized by reason of any credit bid in connection with any such foreclosure); (iii) any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) any other realization upon any security for the Liabilities; (v) any recoveries against the Owner personally (except for recoveries against the Owner for reimbursement of costs and expenses or enforcement of the Bondholder's rights and remedies under this Section 7.8); and (vi) any recoveries against any person or entity other than the Owner (including any guarantor) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
(k) To the extent any provision of this Section 7.8 conflicts with or provides lesser protection to the Bondholder than that provided by the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, the provisions ofthe Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall control.
Section 7.9. Insurance. The Owner shall at all times maintain insurance with respect to the Project as is set forth in the Mortgage.

Completion of the Project, (a) Any proceeds of the Bonds (including investment proceeds) remaining in the Construction Fund or in the Construction Escrow on the date the Project is Completed and not set aside for the payment of Costs of the Project not then due and payable shall on such date be transferred to, if applicable, and placed by the Fiscal Agent in a separate escrow account and used to pay the outstanding principal balance of the Owner Note at the earliest possible redemption date, provided that, until used for such purpose, moneys on deposit in such escrow account may be invested as provided in Section 9.6 hereof, but may not be invested to produce a yield on such moneys (computed from the date the Project was completed and taking into account any investment of moneys during the period from the date the Project was Completed until such moneys were deposited in such escrow account) greater than the yield on the Bonds, all as such terms are used in and determined in accordance with Section 148(a) of the Code and the Regulations. On or after the Conversion Date, if a payment in excess of $10,000 is made by the Fiscal Agent in accordance with this Section 9.4, the Bondholder shall recalculate the amortizing payments under the Loan based on the reduced outstanding principal, and the monthly payments of principal plus interest owed by Owner through the term of the Loan shall be reduced accordingly.

Immediately following a disbursement, the Owner covenants that written notice of the amount and date of the disbursement shall be provided to the Issuer. Such notice may be provided by an email sent to such address as the Issuer may have designated to be used for such purposes in a prior notice to the Owner.
Section 9.6. Investment of Moneys, (a) Any moneys held as part of the Construction Fund, or the escrow accounts specified in Section 9.4 hereof, or as part of any other Fund or Account in the possession or control of the Fiscal Agent, while acting as such under the Bond Issuance Agreement, and any other moneys subject to the requirements of Section 148(a) of the Code, including any moneys that at any time shall constitute "gross proceeds" of the Bonds within the meaning of the Regulations, shall be invested, to the extent permitted by law, only in Eligible Investments.
All such investments of moneys held by the Fiscal Agent as a part of the Construction Fund or the escrow accounts specified in Section 9.4 hereof or any other Fund or Account shall be made by the Fiscal Agent at the direction of the Owner (which direction shall be either in writing or given orally and confirmed in writing). The approval of the Issuer shall not be required prior to the making of any such investment, but the Issuer reserves the right (which right is subject to assignment as set forth in Section 4.2 hereof) to disapprove in its reasonable discretion any investments or proposed investments of which it has notice. If no direction is given by the Owner, the Issuer may direct (which right is subject to assignment as set forth in Section 4.2 hereof) the Fiscal Agent to invest in any of the Eligible Investments, and, if no direction is given, the Fiscal Agent or any affiliate thereof shall invest in no-load, open-end money market mutual funds (including those of the Fiscal Agent and its affiliates) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, provided that the portfolios of such funds are limited to Government Obligations and each such fund has been assigned a rating by each Rating Agency of "AAA" or "Aaa," as applicable.
The Fiscal Agent may make any and all such investments through its own investment department or that of an affiliate. The investments so purchased shall be held by the Fiscal Agent and shall be deemed at all times a part of the Fund, Account or Subaccount for which the investment was made, and the interest accruing thereon and any profit realized therefrom shall be credited to such Fund, Account or Subaccount, as the case may be, and any net losses resulting from such investment shall be charged to such Fund, Account or Subaccount, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on all written investment instructions provided by the Owner pursuant to this Section 9.6, and the Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any depreciation in the value of any investment or for any loss, direct or indirect, resulting from any investment made in accordance with such direction and written confirmation from the Owner specified in this Section 9.6.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, moneys advanced by the Bondholder and deposited in the Project Account ofthe Construction Fund shall be immediately disbursed to the title company under the Construction Escrow Agreement for deposit in the Construction Escrow thereunder, and shall not be invested by the Fiscal Agent.
30
Section 9.7. Arbitrage Covenant. The Owner covenants with the Bondholder and the Issuer that, as long as any of the payment obligations hereunder remain unpaid, moneys on deposit in any Fund, Account or Subaccount in connection with the Bonds, whether or not such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other source, will not be used or invested at the Owner's direction in a manner that will cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and the Regulations.

If any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default shall occur, then the Bondholder (as assignee of the Issuer pursuant to the Bond Issuance Agreement) shall have the right, but not the obligation, and without notice, to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, at any time and from time to time, singularly,
39
successively or collectively, and in such order and when and as often as may from time to time be determined:
The Bondholder may exercise any right, power or remedy permitted to it by law as a holder of the Owner Note, including the right to declare the entire principal of and all unpaid interest accrued on the Owner Note to be, and upon written notice to the Owner (with a copy to the Issuer) of such declaration such Owner Note and the unpaid accrued interest thereon shall become, due and payable, without presentment, demand or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived. The Owner shall forthwith pay to the Bondholder the entire principal of and interest accrued on the Owner Note. There shall be automatically waived, rescinded and annulled such declaration of acceleration of the Owner Note and the consequences thereof when any declaration of acceleration of the Bonds pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Bond Issuance Agreement has been waived, rescinded and annulled.
The Bondholder may take whatever action at law or in equity that may appear necessary or desirable to collect the payments and other amounts then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Owner under this Loan Agreement or the other Owner Collateral Documents.
The Bondholder may direct the Fiscal Agent to withhold further disbursements of proceeds made available to the Owner hereunder.
If the Bondholder shall have proceeded to enforce its rights under this Loan Agreement, the Owner Note, the Owner Collateral Documents or the Security for the Bonds, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Bondholder, then and in every such case the Owner, the Issuer and the Bondholder shall be restored, respectively, to their several positions and rights hereunder and thereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Owner, the Issuer and the Bondholder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

If such failure involves, has caused or threatens to cause a condition that must, in the opinion of the Issuer or the Bondholder, be cured immediately, the Issuer or the Bondholder may remedy such failure without prior notice to the Owner. No such performance or advance shall operate to release the Owner from any such default and any sums so advanced shall be repayable by the Owner on demand, and shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate. The Issuer agrees that the Bondholder, in its name or in the name of the Issuer, may enforce all rights of the Issuer and all obligations of the Owner under and pursuant to this Loan Agreement, and the Issuer will not enforce such rights and obligations itself except at the written direction of the Bondholder, in each case whether or not the Issuer is in Default under the Bond Issuance Agreement; provided, however, that the Issuer hereby reserves to itself the right to enforce all Issuer Reserved Rights.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.

The Owner further agrees that the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may deduct all such unpaid amounts from the aggregate proceeds of the Owner Note.
The costs, fees, disbursements and expenses that the Issuer incurs with respect to the following shall be part of the Liabilities, payable by the Owner on demand if, at any time after the date of this Loan Agreement, the Issuer: (i) employs counsel for advice or other representation (A) with respect to the amendment or enforcement of this Loan Agreement, the Owner Note, the Owner Collateral Documents or the Security for the Bonds, (B) to represent the Issuer in any work-out or any type of restructuring of the Owner Note or the Bonds, or any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding or to commence, defend or intervene or to take any other action in or with respect to any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding (whether instituted by the Issuer, the Bondholder, the Owner or any other Person) in any way or respect relating to this Loan Agreement, the Owner Note, the Owner Collateral Documents, the Security for the Bonds or the Owner's affairs, or any collateral securing the Liabilities hereunder, or (C) to enforce any of the rights of the Issuer with respect to the Owner; and/or (ii) seeks to enforce or enforces any of the rights and remedies of the Issuer with respect to the Owner.

Section 12.5. Exercise of Remedies. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer or the Bondholder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Loan Agreement, the Owner Note, the Owner Collateral Documents, if any, or the Security for the Bonds, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Issuer or the Bondholder to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article XII, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.

In the performance of the agreements of the Issuer herein contained, any obligation it may incur for the payment of money shall not be a debt of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable on any obligation so incurred. The Issuer does not assume general liability for the repayment of the Bonds or for the costs, fees, penalties, taxes, interest, commissions, charges, insurance or any other payments recited herein, and the Issuer shall be obligated to pay the same only out of Revenues. The Issuer shall not be required to do any act whatsoever, or exercise any diligence whatsoever, to mitigate the damages to the Owner if an Event of Default shall occur hereunder.
Section 12.7. Application of Funds. All funds received by the Bondholder are subject to the rights given or action taken under the provisions of Article VII of the Bond Issuance Agreement.

42
any, then due under the Owner Note or, if all such payments and other amounts, if any, have been paid, the same may be applied as directed by the Owner (subject to the restrictions of the Land Use Restriction Agreements and the Tax Certificate), and (b) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, as directed and in such order as determined by the Bondholder.

Unless caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of an Indemnified Party, the Owner shall defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnified Persons harmless from any loss, claim, damage, tax, penalty or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees, costs, expenses and disbursements), or liability (other than with respect to payment of the principal of or interest on the Owner Note) of any nature due to any and all suits, actions, legal or administrative proceedings, or claims arising or resulting from, or in any way connected with: (i) the financing, installation, operation, use or maintenance of the Project; (ii) any act, failure to act, or misrepresentation by the Owner or any member of the Owner, or any Person acting on behalf of, or at the direction of, the Owner or any member of the Owner, in connection with the issuance, sale or delivery of the Bonds; (iii) any false or misleading representation made by the Owner in the Owner Documents; (iv) the breach by the Owner of any covenant contained in the Owner Documents, or the failure of the Owner to fulfill any such covenant which are not cured within all applicable notice and cure periods; (v) enforcing any obligation or liability of the Owner under this Loan Agreement, the Owner Note, the Owner Collateral Documents, the Security for the Bonds or the Owner Documents, or any related agreement; (vi) taking any action requested by the Owner; (vii) taking any action reasonably required by the Owner Documents; or (viii) taking any action considered necessary by the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent, and which is authorized by the Owner Documents.
