2.1. Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the compliance by Borrower with its obligations to Lender hereunder, Lender shall advance to Borrower and Borrower shall borrow from Lender the Loan.

14

(a) Term Loan. The Loan is an advancing term loan and not a revolving loan, and any portion of the Principal Balance paid or prepaid by Borrower may not be re-borrowed. The Loan shall be repaid with interest according to the terms of the Note.

(b) Conditions Precedent. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Lender shall have no obligation of any nature to fund any Advance unless: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (ii) all conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied.

2.2. Interest Rate. The Loan shall bear interest at the interest rate or rates stated in the Note.

2.3. Prepayment. The Loan may be prepaid only when permitted under the Note, upon the terms and conditions of the Note, including any applicable prepayment premiums.

2.4. Acceleration on Sale or Encumbrance. In the event of a Transfer without the written consent of Lender being first obtained, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law, then at the sole option of Lender, Lender may upon notice to Borrower declare the entire principal balance together with accrued interest, due and payable in full. Any such payment shall be subject to the requirements, if any, in the Note providing for the payment of a prepayment premium in the event of a non-permitted Transfer. A consent by Lender as to any one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to a future Transfer. Lender may withhold of condition its consent in its sole discretion.

2.5. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other remedy under the Note and the other Loan Documents. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on a future occasion.

2.6. Recordkeeping. Lender shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Advance, the Loan amount outstanding and each repayment thereof. The unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loan then owing and unpaid.

Article III
RESERVES AND ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL

3.1. Reserves. At Lender’s sole discretion, Lender shall hold back from disbursement of the Loan Funds an amount sufficient to fulfill the required Reserves under this Agreement and from which Reserves funds shall be thereafter disbursed by Lender as provided in this Agreement. Interest shall accrue and be payable to Lender by Borrower on any Loan Funds Advanced at the Interest Rate set forth in the Note. If the Reserves shall be entirely disbursed, but the costs or expenses for which such Reserves have been established shall not have been fully paid and provided for, Lender shall have the right but not the duty to hold back from any further disbursement of Loan Funds sufficient to re-establish the Reserves in an amount sufficient (in Lender’s reasonable judgment) to provide for those costs and expenses thereafter. If in doing so the total of remaining Project Costs will exceed the Loan proceeds remaining to be disbursed, Borrower shall upon notice from Lender deposit with Lender additional Owner Equity in an amount sufficient to fund the Reserves in the amount of the resulting deficiency as determined by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation (a) to disburse Reserves if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, or (b) to disburse Reserves for any other purpose or to any other person other than for which the Reserves was established, provided if an Event of Default has occurred, Lender may disburse the Reserves in its discretion to the payment of the Loan or to any Project Cost as it may decide. All funds so deposited into Reserves and the interest earned thereon shall secure the Indebtedness Secured Hereby. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Reserves. Upon exhaustion of the Reserves and if further costs are foreseeable, Borrower shall deposit with Lender as additional Owner Equity sums sufficient to replenish the Reserves. Lender is automatically authorized to draw upon the Reserves without the requirement of an Application for Payment or other draw certification by Borrower.

3.2. Construction Period Debt Service Reserve. There shall be established a reserve for debt service in the total amount of $262,500.00 (the “Construction Debt Service Reserve”). At Closing, Lender shall reserve out of Loan Funds the total amount of $52,500.00 to pay Debt Service due with respect to the Loan from the Effective Date to but not including the Conversion Date, as defined in the Note (“Construction Interest Period”). On the date of the First Advance, Lender shall reserve out of Loan Funds the balance of the remaining amount of the Construction Debt Service Reserve not already previously advanced at Closing by Lender. Commencing as of the date of the First Advance, Lender shall disburse directly to itself, on a monthly basis, Debt Service with respect to the Loan as it becomes due and payable commencing on the First Monthly Payment Date and continuing on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter during the Construction Interest Period until the funds in the Construction Debt Service Reserve have been depleted to pay such Debt Service, but only to the extent Net Operating Income less such Debt Service is insufficient to pay the Loan Debt Service payment then due. Lender may also disburse directly to itself at any time funds in the Construction Debt Service Reserve in an amount sufficient to pay any prepayments required under the terms of the Loan. Borrower shall pay Lender any amount by which funds in the Construction Debt Service Reserve are insufficient to pay the Loan’s Debt Service and any prepayments required under the terms of the Loan, immediately when such insufficiency arises, during the Construction Interest Period. Upon an Event of Default, or otherwise at Lender’s sole discretion at the request of Borrower, Lender may disburse to itself funds from the Construction Debt Service Reserve to pay Interest and Principal as it becomes due and payable and any other required payments under the Loan. Lender is automatically authorized to draw upon the Construction Debt Service Reserve without notice to or the consent of Borrower. On a monthly basis, Borrower shall cause such additional funds to be deposited into the Construction Debt Service Reserve as may be required to maintain the balance in the Construction Debt Service Reserve equal to or greater than the amount necessary to pay all Loan Debt Service payments and any prepayments required under the terms of the Loan during the Construction Interest Period. Any excess funds in the Construction Debt Service Reserve on the Conversion Date shall be applied to the outstanding Principal.

3.3 Repair and Replacement Reserve.

(a) Lender hereby reserves the right to require Borrower to deposit into an interest-bearing account with Lender or its nominee (the “Repair and Replacement Reserve”) a reasonable monthly sum to set aside for repairs and replacements required for the Project.

(b) Upon Borrower’s failure to otherwise adequately maintain the Premises in good condition, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make any necessary capital expenditures to the Project and repairing, renovating, and replacing the Improvements or Personalty, and may disburse funds from the Repair and Replacement Reserve to itself for that purpose.

(c) Borrower may, from time to time, request a disbursement from the Repair and Replacement Reserve (to the extent funds are available) to reimburse itself for Minimum Capital Expenditures incurred by Borrower, subject to any reasonable requirements of Lender.

3.4 Contingency Reserve. An amount equal to $1,000,000.00 shall be retained from Borrower Equity to be held for construction contingency purposes (“Contingency Reserve”). So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower may draw upon the Contingency Reserve upon presenting to Lender written documentation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, that is certified by the Borrower as true and correct and evidences the need to use funds in the Contingency Reserve for construction expenses directly related the construction of the Project.

3.5 Cash Collateral. The Cash Collateral shall be held by Lender as the depositary bank in a Deposit Account in accordance with the Deposit Account Control Agreement and, provided there is no Event of Default, the funds remaining in the Deposit Account will be released to Borrower under the following circumstances: (a) fifty percent (50%) of the Cash Collateral will be released after the annual report provided to Lender under Section 6.31 of this Agreement demonstrates a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00 for a particular reporting year; and (b) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Cash Collateral will be released after the annual report provided to Lender under Section 6.31 of this Agreement demonstrates a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00 for a second reporting year.

11.1. Exercise of Rights. Upon the Event of Default Lender may at its option exercise one or more of the following:

(a) Acceleration. Accelerate the repayment of the Loan.

(b) Foreclosure. Exercise any of the various remedies provided in any of the Loan Documents, including the foreclosure of the Mortgage.

(c) Cumulative Rights. Cumulatively exercise all other rights, options, and privileges provided by law or in any other instrument or document given to Lender in connection with the Loan.

(d) Cease Making Advances. Cease making Advances and may instruct Title Company to refrain from making any Advances under the Disbursing Agreement but Lender may instruct Title Company to make Advances after the happening of any such event without thereby waiving the right to refrain from making other further Advances or to exercise any of the other rights Lender may have.

37

(e) Receiver. Seek the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Project and to operate the Project and to complete the Project.

(f) Rights to Enter and Complete. To the extent permitted under applicable law, require Borrower to vacate the Premises and Lender may, at its election, (whether prior to any sale pursuant to a foreclosure of the Mortgage or during any period of redemption) either through itself, its agents or a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction:

(i) Do all things necessary to protect its interest in the Project and the security afforded the Loan by a completed Project;

(ii) Enter into possession;

(iii) Perform or cause to be performed any and all Work and labor necessary to complete the Project;

(iv) Employ security personnel to protect the Premises;

(v) Take such action as necessary to prevent waste;

(vi) Comply with, effect a cure under and/or prevent a failure or default under any Lease of the Premises; and/or

(vii) Comply with, effect a cure under and/or prevent a failure or default under the Construction Contract(s);

and in furtherance thereof Borrower irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally agrees that Lender may disburse that portion of the Loan not previously disbursed (including any Retainage) and such amounts as Lender may deem necessary or appropriate to complete the Project and to protect the Project and the lien of the Loan Documents and to do all of the things in connection with the Project which Borrower may do on its own behalf and hereby appoints Lender as its attorney in fact to perform the foregoing. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked by death or otherwise. Said attorney-in-fact shall also have power to prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with the construction of the Project and to take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary. In accordance therewith, Borrower hereby assigns and quitclaims unto Lender all sums to be advanced hereunder including Retainage. Any funds so disbursed or fees or charges so incurred shall be included in any amount necessary for Borrower to pay to redeem the Premises after any foreclosure sale over and above and notwithstanding the bid price at any foreclosure sale. BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT WILL SUBJECT LENDER TO IRREPARABLE HARM AND LOSS INCLUDING THE LOSS OF THE COMPLETED PROJECT AS SECURITY FOR THE LOAN AND EXPRESSLY COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT IT WILL COOPERATE WITH LENDER IN LENDER’S EXERCISE OF ITS REMEDIES HEREUNDER, WILL NOT OBJECT OR CONTEST THE EXERCISE OF LENDER’S REMEDIES HEREUNDER AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ANY RIGHT NOW OR HEREAFTER EXISTING AT LAW, IN EQUITY, OR BY STATUTE TO OBJECT TO THE EXERCISE BY LENDER OF ALL OR ANY OF THE AFORESAID REMEDIES. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES, THAT IT IS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL AND THE REMEDIES HEREIN AND THE CONTENT AND EFFECT OF THIS WAIVER HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED WITH, AND EXPLAINED BY COUNSEL AND EXECUTES AND DELIVERS THIS WAIVER ONLY UPON A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE SAME AND THE RIGHTS WAIVED HEREUNDER. BORROWER FURTHER UNDERSTANDS THAT LENDER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN RELIANCE UPON THIS WAIVER AND THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE SUCH REMEDIES AND BUT FOR SUCH WAIVER WOULD NOT MAKE THE LOAN.

38

11.2. Rights Cumulative. No right or remedy by this Agreement or by any Loan Document or instrument delivered by Borrower pursuant hereto, conferred upon or reserved to Lender shall be or is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy or now or hereafter arising at law or in equity or by statute. Except as Lender may hereafter otherwise agree in writing, no waiver by Lender of any breach by or default of Borrower of any of its obligations, agreements, or covenants under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by Lender to seek a remedy for such breach be deemed a waiver of its rights and remedies with respect to such a breach, nor shall Lender be deemed to have waived any of its rights and remedies unless it be in writing and executed with the same formality as this Agreement. Upon any nonpayment or nonperformance of any of the Indebtedness Secured Hereby, Lender may proceed directly to enforce hereunder the payment of any amounts owing by Borrower under any Loan Document, as applicable.

All conditions of the obligations of Borrower hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof, and no other person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender at any time if in its sole discretion it deems it desirable to do so. In particular, Lender makes no representations and assumes no duties or obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction of the Improvements or the absence therefrom of defects. In this connection, Borrower agrees to, and shall indemnify Lender from any liability, claims, or losses resulting from the disbursement of the Loan proceeds or from the condition of the Premises whether related to the quality of construction or otherwise and whether arising during or after the term of the Loan made by Lender to Borrower in connection therewith. This provision shall survive the repayment of said Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the possibility of any such liability, claims or losses exists.

39

13.2. Evidence of Satisfaction of Conditions. Any condition of this Agreement which requires the submission of evidence of the existence or non-existence of a specified fact or facts implies as a condition the existence or non-existence, as the case may be, of such fact or facts, and Lender shall, at all times, be free independently to establish to its satisfaction and in its absolute discretion such existence or non-existence at its sole cost and expense except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent Lender from bringing any action against any other party or exercising any rights against any security given to Lender, or against Borrower personally, or against any property of Borrower, within any other state. Commencement of any such action or proceeding in any other state shall not constitute a waiver of consent to jurisdiction or of the submission made by Borrower to personal jurisdiction within the State of Wisconsin.

13.12. Jury Trial Waiver. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury with respect to any action in which Borrower is a party.
