Borrower shall have the right to make prepayments of the Loan, in whole or in part, without prepayment penalty, upon not less than seven (7) days' prior written notice to Lender. No prepayment of all or part of the Loan shall be permitted unless same is made together with the payment of all interest accrued on the Loan through the date of prepayment and an amount equal to all Breakage Costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Lender as a result of the prepayment. Breakage Costs shall be calculated as follows: D x (A - B) x C ------- 360 A = the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to the principal amount of the Loan that is the subject of prepayment. B = the Adjusted LIBOR Rate on the date of prepayment for a term equal to the unexpired term of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period. C = the number of calendar days from the date of prepayment to the date on which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period would have expired but for the prepayment. D = the principal amount of the Loan that is being prepaid. In no event shall the prepayment fee be less than $0.00. 4.5 REQUIRED PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. Borrower shall make, on or before the dates hereinafter set forth, the required principal payments hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that any prepayment of principal made pursuant to Section 4.4, including the payment of any Release Consideration upon the release of a Condominium Unit pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.2 , shall be credited against the next due and owing principal payment described below. Date Principal Payment ---- ----------------- December 1, 2001 $ 8,000,000.00 June 1, 2002 an additional $8,000,000.00 June 1, 2003 an additional $7,600,000.00 ARTICLE 5 INTEREST 5.1 INTEREST RATE. (a) The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. The Adjusted Prime Rate shall be the "Applicable Rate", except that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the "Applicable Rate" with respect to portions of the Loan as to which a LIBOR Rate Option is then in effect. Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on the first Business Day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid. (b) Provided that no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall have the option (the "LIBOR Rate Option") to elect from time to time in the manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth an Adjusted LIBOR Rate as the Applicable Rate for all or any portion of the Loan which would otherwise bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate, pursuant to the LIBOR Election Notice attached hereto as Exhibit G. (c) The only manner in which Borrower may exercise the LIBOR Rate Option is by giving Lender irrevocable notice (which may be verbal notice provided that Borrower delivers to Lender facsimile confirmation within twenty-four (24) hours) of such exercise not later than 11:00 a.m. Denver time on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed commencement of the relevant LIBOR Rate Interest Period, which written notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower is electing the LIBOR Rate Option; and (ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period is to commence. The Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan with respect to which Borrower has elected the LIBOR Rate Option shall revert to the Adjusted Prime Rate as of the last day of the LIBOR Rate Interest Period applicable thereto (unless Borrower again exercises the LIBOR Rate Option for such portion of the Loan). Lender shall be under no duty to notify Borrower that the Applicable Rate on any portion of the Loan is about to revert from an Adjusted LIBOR Rate to the Adjusted Prime Rate. The LIBOR Rate Option may be exercised by Borrower only with respect to any portion of the Loan equal to or in excess of $500,000. At no time may there be more than four (4) LIBOR Rate Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loan. (d) If Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the portion of the Loan for which Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars; (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for the LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally; (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate; or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrower and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different LIBOR Rate Interest Period. (e) Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment. (f) Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lender upon demand. (g) Any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the LIBOR Rate Option as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Lender shall notify Borrower that Lender is no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the LIBOR Rate Option shall immediately terminate, (3) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Prime Rate, and (4) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the LIBOR Rate Option until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided by Borrower exercising a LIBOR Rate Option for a different term. ARTICLE 6 COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN 6.1 INCREASED COSTS AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY. (a) Borrower recognizes that the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrower agrees to pay Lender additional amounts to compensate Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrower as a result of: (i) any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Lender (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by Lender (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or (C) imposing on Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrower by Lender under the Loan Documents; or (ii) the maintenance by Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to "Eurocurrency Liabilities" of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof). (b) If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the July, 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding. (c) Any amount payable by Borrower under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower's obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom. 6.2 BORROWER WITHHOLDING. If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on Lender), duties or other charges from any payment due under the Note, the sum due from Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

Borrower shall cooperate with Bank in this regard. If the Appraisal is obtained to comply with this Agreement or any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank policy promulgated to comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay for any such Appraisal upon Bank's request. In the event that any subsequent Appraisal indicates that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the discounted bulk sales value of the then unreleased Condominium Units within the Project is greater than seventy-five percent (75%) ("Loan to Value Ratio"), then Borrower agrees to prepay on principal, without the release of any additional Condominium Units from the lien of the Mortgage, a sum sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal balance so that the Loan to Value Ratio shall not exceed seventy-five percent (75%).

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.1(b) below, Lender may elect to collect, retain and apply upon the indebtedness of Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents all proceeds of insurance or condemnation (individually and collectively referred to as "Proceeds") after deduction of all expenses of collection and settlement, including attorneys' and adjusters' fees and charges. Any proceeds remaining after repayment of the indebtedness under the Loan Documents shall be paid by Lender to Borrower. (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.1(a) to the contrary, in the event of any casualty to the Improvements or any condemnation of part of the Project, Borrower shall have the option of applying the Proceeds to restoration of the Improvements if (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) all Proceeds are deposited with Lender; (iii) in Lender's reasonable judgment, the amount of Proceeds available for restoration of the Improvements (together with undisbursed proceeds of the Loan, if any, allocated for the cost of the Construction and any sums or other security acceptable to Lender deposited with Lender by Borrower for such purpose) is sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of such restoration; (iv) if the cost of restoration exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount, in Lender's sole determination after completion of restoration the Loan Amount will not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the Discounted Bulk Sale Value of the Project; (v) in Lender's reasonable determination, the Project can be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance with applicable Laws; and (vi) in Lender's reasonable determination, such restoration is likely to be completed not later than three months prior to the Maturity Date. 10.2 BORROWER'S OBLIGATION TO REBUILD AND USE OF PROCEEDS THEREFOR. In case Lender does not elect to apply or does not have the right to apply the Proceeds to the indebtedness, as provided in Section 10.1 above, Borrower shall: (a) Proceed with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental authorities and cause the Proceeds to be deposited with Lender; (b) In the event of any delay in making settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental authorities or effecting collection of the Proceeds, deposit with Lender the full amount required to complete construction as aforesaid; (c) In the event the Proceeds and the available proceeds of the Loan are insufficient to assure the Lender that the Loan will be in balance, promptly deposit with Lender any amount necessary to place the Loan in balance; and (d) Promptly proceed with the assumption of construction of the Improvements, including the repair of all damage resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and restoration to its former condition. Any request by Borrower for a disbursement by Lender of Proceeds and funds deposited by Borrower shall be treated by Lender as if such request were for an advance of the Loan hereunder, and the disbursement thereof shall be conditioned upon Borrower's compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions precedent as would be applicable under this Agreement for an advance of the Loan, as well as all conditions precedent to the disbursement of Proceeds with respect to a construction loan contained in a standard form of construction loan agreement used by Lender with respect to the construction of apartments or condominium projects. ARTICLE 11 ASSIGNMENTS BY LENDER AND BORROWER 11.1 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS. Lender may from time to time sell the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any interest therein) and may grant participations in the Loan. Borrower agrees to cooperate, at no additional expense to Borrower, with Lender's efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith which do not materially adversely affect Borrower's rights under the Loan Documents. 11.2 PROHIBITION OF ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS BY BORROWER. Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement and any purported assignment shall be void. Without the prior written consent of Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, Borrower shall not suffer or permit (i) any change in the management (whether direct or indirect) of the Project; or (ii) the sale, transfer, lease (other than a Lease of an Apartment Unit), conveyance, alienation, pledge, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition (a "Transfer") of (1) all or any portion of the Project or any portion of any other security for the Loan, (2) all or any portion of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Project or any portion of any other security for the Loan (unless the Loan is simultaneously repaid in full), or (3) any interest in Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to enter into contracts for sale of individual Condominium Units within the Project; provided, however, that no conveyance of a Condominium Unit under such contract for sale shall be consummated, unless such Condominium Unit is released from the lien of the Mortgage for the benefit of the Lender in accordance with and pursuant to the release provisions hereinafter set forth. 11.3 PROHIBITION OF TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF ERISA. In addition to the prohibitions set forth in Section 11.2 above, Borrower shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in the Project, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in Borrower, attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Lender's rights in connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise result in Lender being deemed in violation of any applicable provision of ERISA. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, costs (including attorneys' fees and expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses Lender may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender's sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions. The foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse obligation of Borrower and shall survive repayment of the Note, notwithstanding any limitations on recourse contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents. 11.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to the foregoing restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in this Article 11, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. ARTICLE 12 TIME OF THE ESSENCE 12.1 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Borrower agrees that time is of the essence under this Agreement. ARTICLE 13 EVENTS OF DEFAULT 13.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" as said term is used herein: (a) Failure of Borrower (i) (x) to make any principal or interest payment within five (5) days after the date when due, or (y) to observe or perform any of the other covenants or conditions by Borrower to be performed under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document concerning the payment of money, for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Lender that the same is due and payable; or (ii) for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender, to observe or perform any non-monetary covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents; provided that if any such failure concerning a non-monetary covenant or condition is susceptible to cure and cannot reasonably be cured within said thirty (30) day period, then Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to cure such failure and no Event of Default shall be deemed to exist hereunder so long as (x) Borrower commences such cure within the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith pursues such cure to completion within such resulting sixty (60) day period from the date of Lender's notice, and (y) the existence of such default will not result in any prospective purchaser of a Condominium Unit having the right to terminate its purchase contract with any tenant of an Apartment Unit having the right to terminate its Lease due to such default; and provided further that if a different notice or grace period is specified under any other subsection of this Article 13 with respect to a particular breach, the specific provision shall control. (b) Any Transfer or other disposition in violation of Sections 11.2 or 11.3. (c) If any warranty, representation, statement, report or certificate made now or hereafter by Borrower or Guarantor is untrue or incorrect in any material respect at the time made or delivered, provided that if such breach is reasonably susceptible of cure, then no Event of Default shall exist so long as Borrower cures said breach (i) within the notice and cure period provided in (a)(i) above for a breach that can be cured by the payment of money; or (ii) within the notice and cure period provided in (a)(ii) above for any other breach. (d) Borrower or Guarantor shall commence a voluntary case concerning Borrower or such Guarantor under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled "Bankruptcy" as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor thereto or any other present or future bankruptcy or insolvency statute (the "Bankruptcy Code"); or an involuntary proceeding is commenced against Borrower or Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code and relief is ordered against Borrower or such Guarantor, or the petition is controverted but not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the case, or a custodian (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) is appointed for or takes charge of all or substantially all of the property of Borrower or Guarantor; or the Borrower or Guarantor commences any other proceedings under any reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar Law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to the Borrower or Guarantor; or there is commenced against Borrower or Guarantor any such proceeding which remains undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or the Borrower or Guarantor fails to controvert in a timely manner any such case under the Bankruptcy Code or any such proceeding, or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or the Borrower or Guarantor by any act or failure to act indicates its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in any such case or proceeding or the appointment of any custodian or the like of or for it for any substantial part of its property or suffers any such appointment to continue undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days. (e) Borrower or Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee or liquidator of all of its property or the major part thereof or if all or a substantial part of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor are attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or are levied upon, or come into the possession of any receiver, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors. (f) If Borrower is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by any court order from operating the Project. (g) One or more final, unappealable judgments are entered (i) against Borrower in amounts aggregating in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); or (ii) against Guarantor in amounts aggregating in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), and said judgments are not stayed or bonded over within thirty (30) days after entry. (h) If Borrower or Guarantor shall fail to pay any debt owed by it or is in default under any agreement with Lender or any other party (other than a failure or default for which Borrower's maximum liability does not exceed $100,000.00 and Guarantor's maximum liability does not exceed $250,000.00) and such failure or default continues after any applicable grace period specified in the instrument or agreement relating thereto.

ARTICLE 14 LENDER'S REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT 14.1 REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON LENDER. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other: (a) Withhold further disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan and/or terminate Lender's obligations to make further disbursements hereunder; (b) Declare the Note to be immediately due and payable; (c) Use and apply any monies or letters of credit deposited by Borrower with Lender, regardless of the purposes for which the same was deposited, to cure any such default or to apply on account of any indebtedness under this Agreement which is due and owing to Lender; and (d) Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Lender by operation of Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 13.1, all amounts evidenced by the Note shall automatically become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Borrower. ARTICLE 15 RELEASE OF CONDOMINIUM UNITS 15.1 FULL PAYMENT. Except as provided in Section 15.2 below, unless Lender otherwise consents in writing, the Property or any part thereof encumbered by the Deed of Trust shall not be released until all of the indebtedness secured by the Note and the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid and performed in full. 15.2 PARTIAL RELEASES.

ARTICLE 16 GENERAL PROVISIONS 16.1 CAPTIONS. The captions and headings of various Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement and Exhibits pertaining hereto are for convenience only and are not to be considered as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. 16.2 MODIFICATION; WAIVER.

Irrespective of the place of execution and/or delivery, this Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Colorado. 16.4 ACQUIESCENCE NOT TO CONSTITUTE WAIVER OF LENDER'S REQUIREMENTS. Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lender contained in this Agreement may be waived by Lender, provided, however, that to the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any conditions precedent to the Opening of the Loan or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds. 16.5 DISCLAIMER BY LENDER. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other person or persons shall have any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, or by reason of any actions taken by Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Lender shall not be liable to any contractors, subcontractors, supplier, architect, engineer, tenant, purchaser of a Condominium Unit or other party for labor or services performed or materials supplied in the use, operation, maintenance, lease, sale or ownership of the Project. Lender shall not be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any such parties against Borrower or others or against the Project.

In no event shall Lender be liable to Borrower for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower for itself and its Guarantors waive all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including without limitation lost profits. 16.10 CLAIMS AGAINST LENDER. Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within three (3) months after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender's ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrower with regard to the Loan. 16.11 JURISDICTION.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BORROWER FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY COLORADO STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER OR COUNTY OF DOUGLAS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED. 16.12 SET-OFFS.

Title Insurance Company Requirements. The maximum single risk (i.e., the amount insured under any one policy) by a title insurer may not exceed 25% of that insurer's surplus and statutory reserves. Reinsurance must be obtained by closing for any policy exceeding such amount. 2. Loan Policy Forms. Standard 1992 American Land Title Association ("ALTA") form of loan title insurance policy, or the 1987 or 1970 (amended October 17, 1970 and October 17, 1984) ALTA loan form policies must be used (the ALTA 1990 loan policy will not be accepted). 3. Insurance Amount. The amount insured must equal at least the original principal amount of the Loan. 4. Named Insured. The named insured under the Title Policy must be substantially the same as the following: "KeyBank National Association, and its respective successors and assigns." 5. Creditors' Rights. Any "creditors' rights" exception or other exclusion from coverage for voidable transactions under bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, or other debtor protection laws or equitable principles must be removed by either an endorsement or a written waiver. 6. Arbitration. In the event that the form policy which is utilized includes a compulsory arbitration provision, the insurer must agree that such compulsory arbitration provisions do not apply to any claims by or on behalf of the insured. Please note that the 1987 and 1990 ALTA form loan policies include such provisions. 7. Date of Policy. The effective date of the Title Policy must be as of the date and time of the closing. 8. Legal Description. The legal description of the property contained in the Title Policy must conform to (a) the legal description shown on the survey of the property, and (b) the legal description contained in the Mortgage. In any event, the Title Policy must be endorsed to provide that the insured legal description is the same as that shown on the survey. 9. Easements. Each Title Policy shall insure, as separate parcels: (a) all appurtenant easements and other estates benefitting the property, and (b) all other rights, title, and interests of the borrower in real property under reciprocal easement agreements, access agreements, operating agreements, and agreements containing covenants, conditions, and restrictions relating to the Property. 10. Exceptions to Coverage. With respect to the exceptions, the following applies: a) Each Title Policy shall afford the broadest coverage available in the state in which the subject property is located. b) The "standard" exceptions (such as for parties in possession or other matters not shown on public records) must be deleted. c) The "standard" exception regarding tenants in possession under residential leases, should also be deleted. In the alternative, the exception should read as follows: "Rights or claims of parties in possession under residential leases or occupants of apartment units, as tenants only, without any right of first refusal to purchase any portion of the property." For commercial properties, a rent roll should be attached in lieu of the general exception. d) The standard survey exception to the Title Policy must be deleted. Instead, a survey reading reflecting the current survey should be incorporated. e) Any exception for taxes, assessments, or other lienable items must expressly insure that such taxes, assessments, or other items are not yet due and payable. f) Any lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement of record must be listed in the Title Policy, and the Title Policy must affirmatively insure that the improvements do not encroach upon the insured easements or insure against all loss or damage due to such encroachment. g) The Title Policy may not contain any exception for any filed or unfiled mechanics' or materialmen's liens. h) In the event that a comprehensive endorsement has been issued and any Schedule B exceptions continue to be excluded from the coverage provided through that endorsement, then a determination must be made whether such exceptions would be acceptable to Bank. In the event that it is determined that such exception is acceptable, a written explanation regarding the acceptability must be submitted as part of the delivery of the Loan Documents. If Schedule B indicates the presence of any easements that are not located on the survey, the Title Policy must provide affirmative insurance against any loss resulting from the exercise by the holder of such easement of its right to use or maintain that easement. ALTA Form 103.1 or an equivalent endorsement is required for this purpose. 11. Endorsements. With respect to endorsements, the following applies: a) Each Title Policy must include an acceptable environmental protection lien endorsement on ALTA Form 8.1. Please note that Form 8.1 may take exception for an entire statute which contains one or more specific sections under which environmental protection liens could take priority over the Mortgage; provided, however, that such specific sections under which the lien could arise must also be referenced. b) Each Title Policy must contain an endorsement which provides that the insured legal description is the same as shown on the survey. c) Each Title Policy must contain a comprehensive endorsement (ALTA Form 9) if a lien, encumbrance, condition, restriction, or easement is listed in Schedule B to the title insurance policy. d) Lender may require the following endorsements where reasonably applicable and available: -access -due execution -single tax lot -address -first loss -subdivision -assessments -last dollar -tie in -assignment of leases and rents -leasehold -usury -assignment of loan documents -mineral rights -zoning (ALTA 3.1- -contiguity -mortgage tax with parking) -doing business -reverter 12. Other Coverages.

Informational Matters.
