Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement


Please see the description under Item 2.03 below.


Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant


Century Properties Fund XVI (the “Registrant”), a California limited partnership, owns a 100% interest in Woods of Inverness CPF 16, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”). On September 21, 2007, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage encumbering its sole investment property, Woods of Inverness Apartments, located in Houston, Texas. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of approximately $4,139,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of approximately $5,878,000. The new loan was refinanced under a secured real estate credit facility (“Secured Credit Facility”) with AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc., as agent for Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, which has a maturity of October 1, 2010, with two one year extension options. The new mortgage requires monthly payments of interest only beginning on November 1, 2007 , through the October 1, 2010 maturity date, at which date the entire principal balance of approximately $5,878,000 is due.  The new loan has a variable interest rate of the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.78%, which rate is currently 6.28% per annum, and resets monthly.  The variable interest rate may increase to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 0.98% if the debt service coverage ratio of the investment property decreases below a prescribed threshold. The Secured Credit Facility provides mortgage loans on properties owned by other partnerships that are affiliated with the managing general partner of the Registrant. The Secured Credit Facility creates separate loans for each property that are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with the other property loans. Monthly interest payments are required based on the interest rate in effect during the first month that any property is in the Secured Credit Facility. The loans are prepayable without penalty.  As a condition of the Secured Credit Facili ty, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Registrant, to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Registrant with respect to the new mortgage financing.


In accordance with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the new mortgage, the payment of the mortgage may be accelerated at the option of the lender if an Event of Default, as defined in the loan agreement, occurs. Events of Default include, but are not limited to, nonpayment of monthly interest and reserve requirements and nonpayment of amounts outstanding on or before the maturity date.


The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, Secured Promissory Note and Carveout Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement, copies of which are filed as exhibits 10.11, 10.12 and 10.13.


In accordance with the Registrant’s partnership agreement, the Registrant’s managing general partner is evaluating the cash requirements of the Registrant to determine what portion of the net proceeds, if any, from the above transaction will be distributed to the Registrant’s partners.

The Borrower shall have the right to make a prepayment of the Loan, without premium, sufficient to achieve this Loan-to-Value ratio. The independent fee appraisal shall be at the Borrower’s expense in connection with its review. The Lender may require that the Borrower deposit $10,000 with the Lender as security for these expenses or may pay the fee appraiser’s fee from the proceeds at its sole discretion.

Unless the Borrower has the right to use the Insurance Proceeds or the Condemnation Proceeds under the foregoing paragraphs, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, either apply them to the Loan balance or disburse them for the purposes of repair and reconstruction, or to remedy the effects of the condemnation. No prepayment premium will be charged on Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loan.

8.4

CONDITIONS TO AVAILABILITY OF PROCEEDS

The Lender shall have no obligation to release Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Borrower, and may hold such amounts as additional security for the Loan, if (a) a Default exists, (b) the Lender has delivered to the Borrower Notice of any act, omission or circumstance that will, if uncured, become a Default, and the required cure has not been effected or (c) if the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds received by the Lender and any other funds deposited by the Borrower with the Lender are insufficient, as determined by the Lender in its reasonable discretion, to complete the Restoration. If a Default exists, the Lender may at its sole and absolute discretion apply such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the full or partial cure of the Default.



 


8.5

GROSS UP OF RESTORATION FUND; PERMITTED MEZZANINE FINANCING

If the Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds received in respect of a casualty or a condemnation, as the case may be, would be insufficient to permit the Borrower to effect the Restoration, then the Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to secure such additional funds as the Lender determines are necessary to effect the Restoration. The Lender agrees to permit the Borrower to secure mezzanine financing in order to meet its obligation under this Subsection. The mezzanine loan may be secured by a pledge of interests in the Borrower, subject to an inter-creditor agreement on market terms for securitized loans.

8.6

DRAW REQUIREMENTS

The Borrower’s right to receive Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds held by the Lender under this Section shall be conditioned on the Lender’s reasonable approval of plans and specifications for the Restoration. Each draw shall be in the minimum amount of $50,000. Draw requests shall be accompanied by customary evidence of construction completion, and by endorsements to the Lender’s mortgagee title insurance coverage insuring the absence of construction, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens. Draws based on partial completion of the Restoration shall be subject to a ten percent (10%) holdback. All transactional expenses shall be paid by the Borrower.

9.

ESCROW FUND

The Borrower shall pay the Monthly Escrow Payment on the first (1st) day of every month, commencing with the month in which the first regular payment of principal and interest is due. The Lender shall hold Monthly Escrow Payments in a non-interest-bearing fund from which the Lender will pay on a timely basis those Escrow Expenses that the Lender has anticipated will become payable on a regular basis during the Loan’s term, and on which the Lender has based its determination of the Monthly Imposition Requirement, the Monthly Insurance Premium Requirement and the Monthly Reserve Requirement. The Escrow Fund will be maintained as an accounting entry in the Lender’s general account, where it may be commingled with the Lender’s other funds. The Lender may reanalyze the projected Escrow Expenses from time to time and shall advise the Borrower of any change in the amount of the Monthly Escrow Payment. Upon the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the payoff of the Loan, the Lender shall apply amounts in the Escrow Fund, net of accrued Escrow Expenses, to the Indebtedness. The Lender shall remit any amounts in excess of the Indebtedness to the Borrower.

If the subject Default has arisen from a failure by the Borrower to make a regular monthly payment of principal and interest, the Lender shall not accelerate the Indebtedness unless the Lender shall have given the Borrower at least three (3) Business Days’ advance Notice of its intent to do so.

If the subject Default is curable and non-monetary in nature, the Lender shall exercise its option to accelerate only by giving Notice of acceleration to the Borrower. The Lender shall not give any such Notice of acceleration until (a) the Borrower has been given any required Notice of the prospective Default and (b) any applicable cure period has expired.

Except as expressly described in this Section, no notice of acceleration shall be required in order for the Lender to exercise its option to accelerate the Indebtedness in the event of Default.

ENTRY ON REAL PROPERTY

If a Default exists, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Real Property and take exclusive possession of the Real Property and of all books, records and accounts, all without Notice and without being guilty of trespass, but subject to the rights of tenants in possession under the Leases. If the Borrower remains in possession of all or any part of the Property after Default and without the Lender’s prior written consent, the Lender may, without Notice to the Borrower, invoke any and all legal remedies to dispossess the Borrower, including specifically one or more actions for forcible entry and detainer, trespass to try title and writ of restitution.

17.2

OPERATION OF REAL PROPERTY

Following Default, the Lender may hold, lease, manage, operate or otherwise use or permit the use of the Real Property, either itself or by other persons, firms or entities, in such manner, for such time and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem to be prudent under the circumstances (making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements thereto and taking any and all other action with reference thereto, from time to time, as the Lender deems prudent), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by the Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents.

18.

Following Default, the Lender, at Lender’s election and by or through the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns or otherwise, may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Property, ex parte without Notice to the Borrower, whether or not the value of the Property exceeds the Indebtedness, whether or not waste or deterioration of the Real Property has occurred, and whether or not other arguments based on equity would justify the appointment. The Borrower irrevocably, with knowledge and for valuable consideration, consents to such an appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the rights and powers customarily given to receivers in Texas, including the rights and powers granted to the Lender and Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns by this Deed of Trust, the power to maintain, lease an d operate the Real Property on terms approved by the court, and the power to collect the Rents and apply them to the Indebtedness or otherwise as the court may direct. Once appointed, a receiver may at the Lender’s option remain in place until the Indebtedness has been paid in full.

19.

FORECLOSURE; POWER OF SALE

19.1

AVAILABILITY OF REMEDIES

Upon Default, Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns or the Lender may immediately proceed to foreclose the lien of this Deed of Trust, against all or part of the Property, or to sell the Property, by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of Texas and may pursue any other remedy available to commercial mortgage lenders under the laws of Texas.  It shall be the duty of the Trustee and of his successors and substitutes in the Trust, on Lender’s request (which request is hereby presumed) to enforce the Trust by selling the Property as is provided in this Deed of Trust.

19.2

PUBLIC SALE

Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns is hereby authorized and empowered, and it shall be Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns’ special duty, upon such request of Lender, to sell the Property, or any part thereof, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, with or without having taken possession of same. Any such sale (including notice thereof) shall comply with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code or, if and to the extent such statute is not then in force, with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of the successor statute or statutes, if any, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. If there is no statute in force at the time of the sale governing sales of Texas real property under powers of s ale conferred by deeds of trust, such sale shall comply with applicable law, at the time of the sale, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust.

19.3

RIGHT TO REQUIRE PROOF OF FINANCIAL ABILITY AND/OR CASH BID

At any time during the bidding, the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns may require a bidding party (A) to disclose its full name, state and city of residence, occupation, and specific business office location, and the name and address of the principal the bidding party is representing (if applicable), and (B) to demonstrate reasonable evidence of the bidding party’s financial ability (or, if applicable, the financial ability of the principal of such bidding party), as a condition to the bidding party submitting bids at the foreclosure sale. If any such bidding party (the “Questioned Bidder”) declines to comply with the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns’ requirement in this regard, or if such Questioned Bidder does respond but the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns, in Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns’ sole and absolute discretion, deems the information or the evidence of the financial ability of the Questioned Bidder (or, if applicable, the principal of such bidding party) to be inadequate, then the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns may continue the bidding with reservation; and in such event (1) the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns shall be authorized to caution the Questioned Bidder concerning the legal obligations to be incurred in submitting bids, and (2) if the Questioned Bidder is not the highest bidder at the sale, or if having been the highest bidder the Questioned Bidder fails to deliver the cash purchase price payment promptly to the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns, all bids by the Questioned Bidder shall be null and void. The Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns may, in Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns’ sole and absolute discretion, determine that a credit bid may be in the best interest of the Borrower and Lender, and elect to sell the Property for credit or for a combination of cash and credit; provided, however, that the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns shall have no obligation to accept any bid except an all cash bid. In the event the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns requires a cash bid and cash is not delivered within a reasonable time after conclusion of the bidding process, as specified by the Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns, but in no event later than 3:45 p.m. local time on the day of sale, then said contingent sale shall be null and void, the bidding process may be recommenced, and any subsequent bids or sale shall be made as if no prior bids were made or accepted.

19.4

SALE SUBJECT TO UNMATURED INDEBTEDNESS

In addition to the rights and powers of sale granted under the preceding provisions of this subsection, if default is made in the payment of any installment of the Indebtedness, Lender may, at Lender’s option, at once or at any time thereafter while any matured installment remains unpaid, without declaring the entire Indebtedness to be due and payable, orally or in writing direct Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns to enforce this trust and to sell the Property subject to such unmatured Indebtedness and to the rights, powers, liens, security interests, and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of such unmatured Indebtedness, in the same manner, all as provided in the preceding provisions of this subsection. Sales made without maturing the Indebtedness may be made hereunder whenever there is a default in the payment of any installment of the Indebte dness, without exhausting the power of sale granted hereby, and without affecting in any way the power of sale granted under this subsection, the unmatured balance of the Indebtedness or the rights, powers, liens, security interests, and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of the Indebtedness.

19.5

PARTIAL FORECLOSURE

Sale of a part of the Property shall not exhaust the power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until the Indebtedness is paid and the Obligations are performed and discharged in full. It is intended by each of the foregoing provisions of this subsection that Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns may, after any request or direction by Lender, sell not only the Land and the Improvements, but also the Fixtures and Personal Property and other interests constituting a part of the Property or any part thereof, along with the Land and the Improvements or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell at any time or from time to time any part or parts of the Property separately from the remainder of the Property. It shall not be necessary to have present or to exhibit at any sale any of the Property.



 


19.6

TRUSTEE’S DEEDS

After any sale under this subsection, Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns shall make good and sufficient deeds, assignments, and other conveyances to the purchaser or purchasers thereunder in the name of Borrower, conveying the Property or any part thereof so sold to the purchaser or purchasers with general warranty of title by Borrower. It is agreed that in any deeds, assignments or other conveyances given by Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of Lender, the occurrence or existence of any Default, the notice of intention to accelerate, or acceleration of, the maturity of the Indebtedness, the request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution, and application of the money realized therefrom, the due and proper appointment of a substitute trustee, and without being limited by the foregoing, any other act or thing having been duly done by or on behalf of Lender or by or on behalf of Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that such statements or recitals state true, correct, and complete facts and are without further question to be so accepted, and Borrower does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Trustee, his successors or substitutes in the Trust and his or their assigns may lawfully do in the premises by virtue hereof.

19.7

WAIVER OF DEFICIENCY STATUTE

In the event of an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Borrower agrees as follows. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as the same may be amended from time to time), and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and any other party obligated on the indebtedness secured hereby equal to the difference between the amount owing on the indebtedness secured hereby and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, but not for an amount in excess of the Carveout Obligations. Borrower expressly recognizes that this section constitutes a waiver of the above-cited provisions of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Borrower and other persons agai nst whom recovery of deficiencies is sought or Obligor independently (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. Borrower further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Borrower, Obligor and others against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought. Alternatively, in the event the waiver provided for above is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by Sections 51.003, 51.004 an d 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as amended from time to time):  (i) the Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Property after foreclosure; (ii) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Property for cash promptly (but no later than twelve (12) months following the foreclosure sale; (iii) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Property, including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance, a survey of the Property, tax prorations, attorneys’ fees, and marketing costs; (iv) the gross fair market value of the Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Prop erty pending sale, including, without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, taxes and assessments (to the extent not accounted for in (iii) above), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (v) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years experience in appraising property similar to the Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Property taking into consideration the factors set forth above.

20.

WAIVERS

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally WAIVES and RELEASES any present or future rights (a) of reinstatement or redemption (b) that may exempt the Property from any civil process, (c) to appraisal or valuation of the Property, (d) to extension of time for payment, (e) that may subject the Lender’s exercise of its remedies to the administration of any decedent’s estate or to any partition or liquidation action, (f) to any homestead and exemption rights provided by the Constitution and laws of the United States and of Texas, (g) to notice of acceleration or notice of intent to accelerate (other than as expressly stated herein), and (h) that in any way would delay or defeat the right of the Lender to cause the sale of the Real Property for the purpose of satisfying the Indebtedness. The Borrower agrees that the price paid at a lawful foreclosure sale, whet her by the Lender or by a third party, and whether paid through cancellation of all or a portion of the Indebtedness or in cash, shall conclusively establish the value of the Real Property.

BORROWER expressly WAIVES and RELINQUISHES any right or remedy which it may have or be able to assert by reason of the provisions of Chapter 34 of the Business and Commerce Code of the State of Texas pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BORROWER hereby WAIVES and RELEASES all rights, remedies, claims and defenses based upon or related to Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Property Code of the State of Texas to the extent the same pertain or may pertain to any enforcement of this Deed of Trust.

The foregoing waivers shall apply to and bind any party assuming the Obligations of the Borrower under this Deed of Trust.



 


21.

EXCULPATION CLAUSE AND CARVEOUT OBLIGATIONS

The Lender agrees that it shall not seek to enforce any monetary judgment with respect to any Obligation against the Borrower except through recourse to the Property, unless the Obligation from which the judgment arises is a Carveout Obligation. The Carveout Obligations include (a) the obligation to repay any portion of the Indebtedness that arises because the Lender has advanced funds or incurred expenses in respect of any of the “Carveouts” (as defined below), (b) the obligation to repay the entire Indebtedness, if the Lender’s exculpation of the Borrower from personal liability under this Section has become void as set forth below, (c) the obligation to indemnify the Lender in respect of its actual damages suffered in connection with a Carveout, and (d) the obligation to defend and hold the Lender harmless from and against any claims, judgments, causes of action or proceedings arising from a Carveout. The Carveouts are:

(ii)

fraud or material written misrepresentation;

(iii)

waste of the Property (which shall include damage, destruction or disrepair of the Real Property caused by a willful act or grossly negligent omission of the Borrower, but shall exclude ordinary wear and tear in the absence of gross negligence);

(iv)

misappropriation of tenant security deposits (including proceeds of tenant letters of credit), Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds;

(v)

25.

AGREEMENT CONCERNING INTERESTS

25.1

SAVINGS CLAUSE

It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Note or the Indebtedness (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (i) contracted for, taken, reserved or received pursuant to the Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (ii) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of the Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Note and/or the Indebtedness, or (iii) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any prepayment by Borrower of the Note and/or the Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Note and/or the Indebtedness (or, if the Note and all Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term of the Note, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against the Note and/or any Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender.  Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim or counterclaim (in which event such proceeding shall be abated for such time period) seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written Notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and the Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of the Notice to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Note and/or the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contrac ted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by the Note and/or the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note and/or the Indebtedness (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Note and/or the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Note and/or the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note and/or any of the Indebtedness.


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

25.2

CEILING ELECTION

To the extent that the Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Indebtedness, the Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent federal law permits the Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, the Lender will rely on federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, the Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to the Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

26.

This Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents have been executed for the sole benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and the successors and assigns of the Lender.

27.18

NO PARTNERSHIP

Nothing contained in the Loan Documents is intended to create any partnership, joint venture or association between the Borrower and the Lender, or in any way make the Lender a co-principal with the Borrower with reference to the Property.

27.19

PAYOFF PROCEDURES

FUTURE ADVANCES

Under the terms of this Deed of Trust, “Indebtedness” includes any and all indebtedness owed by the Borrower to the Lender, any and all obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, and any and all liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender, regardless of the kind or character of such indebtedness, obligations or liabilities, if they relate to the Loan or to the Real Property in any way, and regardless of whether they arise now or in the future, are absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured, due or not due, arise by operation of law or by contract, are direct or indirect, primary or secondary, joint, several, joint and several, fixed or contingent, or are secured or unsecured by additional or different security or securities, and regardless of whether the indebtedness, obligations or liabilities are of the Borrower directly or arise through its participation in any form of business or economic assoc iation or transaction, whether as a partner, joint venturer, trustee, principal, surety, endorser, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise. However, this Deed of Trust shall not secure any such other indebtedness, obligation or liability with respect to which the Lender is by applicable law prohibited from obtaining a lien on real estate, nor shall this definition operate or be effective to constitute or require any assumption or payment by any person, in any way, of any debt or obligation of any other person to the extent that the same would violate or exceed the limit provided in any applicable usury or other law.

27.21

INTERPRETATION

(a)

Headings and General Application

The section, subsection, paragraph and subparagraph headings of this Deed of Trust are provided for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of the sections, subsections, paragraphs or subparagraphs. If the text requires, words used in the singular shall be read as including the plural, and pronouns of any gender shall include all genders.

(b)

Sole Discretion

The Lender may take any action or decide any matter under the terms of this Deed of Trust or of any other Loan Document (including any consent, approval, acceptance, option, election or authorization) in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or for no reason, unless the related Loan Document contains specific language to the contrary. Any approval or consent that the Lender might withhold may be conditioned in any way.

(c)

Result of Negotiations

This Deed of Trust results from negotiations between the Borrower and the Lender and from their mutual efforts. Therefore, it shall be so construed, and not as though it had been prepared solely by the Lender.



 


(d)

Reference to Particulars

The scope of a general statement made in this Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document shall not be construed as having been reduced through the inclusion of references to particular items that would be included within the statement’s scope. Therefore, unless the relevant provision of a Loan Document contains specific language to the contrary, the term “include” shall mean “include, but shall not be limited to” and the term “including” shall mean “including, without limitation.”

27.22

INDEBTEDNESS MAY EXCEED NOTE’S FACE AMOUNT

The Borrower’s successors or assigns are hereby placed on Notice that the Note contains late charge, prepayment and other provisions which may result in the outstanding principal balance exceeding the face amount of the Note.

JURY WAIVER

THE BORROWER AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE LENDER, HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS (I) UNDER THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR (II) ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND THE BORROWER AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE LENDER, AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

The Lender, at its option, may at any time renew or extend this Deed of Trust, the Note or any other Loan Document with the Borrower’s consent.

The Lender may waive any covenant or condition of any Loan Document or of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, in whole or in part, at the request of any person then having an interest in the Property or in any way liable for any part of the Indebtedness. The Lender may take, release, or resort to any security for the Note and the Obligations and may release any party primarily or secondarily liable on any Loan Document or on the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, all without affecting any liability not expressly released in writing by the Lender.



 


27.27

CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

Every right and remedy provided in this Deed of Trust shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy of the Lender, whether conferred by law or by grant or contract, and may be enforced concurrently with any such right or remedy. The acceptance of the performance of any obligation to cure any Default shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights with respect to any other past, present or future Default. No waiver in a particular instance of the requirement that any Obligation be performed shall be construed as a waiver with respect to any other Obligation or instance.

27.28

NO OBLIGATION TO MARSHAL ASSETS

No holder of any deed of trust, security interest or other encumbrance affecting all or any portion of the Real Property, which encumbrance is inferior to the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust, shall have any right to require the Lender to marshal assets.

27.29

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP

The Lender may, without notice to the Borrower, deal with any person in whom ownership of any part of the Real Property has vested, without in any way vitiating or discharging the Borrower from liability for any of the Obligations.

 $5,877,950.00
September 21, 2007 (the “Effective Date”)

 Secured Promissory Note

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, WOODS OF INVERNESS CPF 16, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, whose address is 4582 South Ulster Parkway, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado 80237 (the “Borrower”), promises to pay Five Million Eight Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Fifty Dollars and No Cents ($5,877,950.00), together with interest according to the terms of this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”), to the order of TRANSAMERICA OCCIDENTAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, an Iowa corporation (together with any future holder, the “Lender”), whose address is c/o AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc., 4333 Edgewood Road, N.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52499-5443. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Deed of Trust, as defined in Section 12 below.

1.

CONTRACT INTEREST RATE

The principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at the rate that is the lesser of (i) the variable rate of interest determined from time to time as described in the next succeeding paragraph (the “Note Rate”) and (ii) the Maximum Interest Rate (as defined in Section 24.1 below). Interest shall be calculated in arrears on actual days elapsed, based on a 360-day year. During any partial month, interest shall accrue based on the number of actual days which elapse during the related accrual period.

The initial Note Rate, at which interest on the Loan shall accrue from the funding date through the last day of September, 2007, shall be six and twenty-eight one-hundredths percent (6.28%) per annum. On the first day of October, 2007 and thereafter at intervals of one full calendar month during the Loan’s term (each such month, a “Loan Month”), this Note Rate shall be adjusted to the per annum rate which is 78 basis points (the “Pricing Spread”) over the 1-month LIBOR rate (the “Index”), as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the preceding month (in respect of any rate adjustment, the “Determination Date”). The Note shall bear interest at the adjusted Note Rate during the Loan Month comprising an accrual period. If the Wall Street Journal stops publishing the Index during the term of the Loan, the Lender shall determine th e Index rate by referring to the LIBOR rate published in another nationally recognized daily paper or electronic business publication reasonably acceptable to the Lender.

The Pricing Spread is subject to increase to ninety-eight (98) basis points as provided in the Facility Agreement if the debt service coverage ratio of the Property decreases below 1.30.

2.

SCHEDULED PAYMENTS

2.1

PREPAYMENT OF INTEREST FOR THE MONTH OF FUNDING

Unless the funding of the loan evidenced by this Note (together with all additional charges, advances and accruals, the “Loan”) occurs on the first day of a calendar month, the Borrower shall prepay, on the date of the funding, interest due from the date of the funding through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the funding occurs.



 


2.2

MONTHLY PAYMENTS

On the first day of November, 2007 and on the first day of each subsequent calendar month through September, 2010, the Borrower shall pay an installment of accrued interest for the previous month at the Note Rate. Monthly installments of interest shall be made when due, regardless of the prior acceptance by the Lender of unscheduled payments.

2.3

FINAL PAYMENT

The Loan shall mature on the first day of October, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”), when the Borrower shall pay its entire principal balance, together with all accrued interest and any other amounts owed by the Borrower under this Note or under any of the other documents entered into now or in the future in connection with the Loan (the “Loan Documents”). The Maturity Date is subject to extension as provided in the Facility Agreement.

3.

BALLOON PAYMENT ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The Borrower acknowledges that the scheduled monthly payments referred to in Section 2 will not amortize the principal sum of this Note over its term, resulting in a “balloon” payment at maturity. Any future agreement to extend this Note or refinance the Indebtedness it evidences may be made only by means of a writing executed by a duly authorized officer of the Lender.

4.

APPLICATION OF MONTHLY INTEREST PAYMENTS

When the Lender receives a monthly interest payment, the Lender shall apply it to interest in arrears for the previous month, unless other amounts are then due under this Note or the other Loan Documents. If other amounts are due when a regular monthly payment is received, the Lender shall apply the payment first to accrued interest and then to those other amounts.

5.

DEFAULT INTEREST

If a Default exists (as defined in Section 9 below) the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall, at the option of the Lender, bear interest at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum over the Note Rate, as determined from time to time, and (ii) the Maximum Lawful Rate. If interest has accrued at the Default Rate during any period, the difference between such accrued interest and interest which would have accrued at the Note Rate during such period shall be payable on demand. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any interest charged has exceeded the maximum rate allowed by law, the excess of the amount collected over the legal rate of interest will be applied to the Indebtedness as a principal prepayment without premium, retroactively, as of the date of receipt, or returned to the Borrower if the Indebtedness has been fully paid.



 


6.

LATE CHARGE

If the Lender does not receive any scheduled monthly principal and interest payment on or before the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month in which it is due, the Lender will send the Borrower written Notice that a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the late payment has accrued. The Borrower shall pay any such late charge on or before the tenth day of the calendar month following the month during which the late payment was scheduled to have been received.  

7.

PREPAYMENT

Subject to the terms of the Facility Agreement, this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lender.

8.

PERMITTED PAR PREPAYMENTS

The Lender shall not charge a prepayment premium on any prepayment made as the result of the Lender’s election to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds to the principal balance of this Note or to achieve any required loan to value ratio that is a prerequisite to the Borrower’s rights to obtain and to use such proceeds (the “Permitted Par Prepayment”).

9.

DEFAULT

A default on this Note (“Default”) shall exist if (a) the Lender fails to receive any required installment of principal and interest on or before the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month in which it is due, (b) the Borrower fails to pay the matured balance of this Note on the Maturity Date or (c) a “Default” exists as defined in any other Loan Document. If a Default exists and the Lender engages counsel to collect any amount due under this Note or if the Lender is required to protect or enforce this Note in any probate, bankruptcy or other proceeding, then any expenses incurred by the Lender in respect of the engagement, including the reasonable fees and reimbursable expenses of counsel and including such costs and fees which relate to issues that are particular to any given proceeding, shall constitute indebtedness evidenced by this Note, shall be payable on demand, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Such fees and expenses include those incurred in connection with any action against the Borrower for a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure or trustee’s sale of the Real Property under the Deed of Trust (defined below), including all of the Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, property appraisal costs and witness fees.

10.

ACCELERATION

If a Default exists, the Lender may, at its option, declare the unpaid principal balance of this Note to be immediately due and payable, together with all accrued interest on the Indebtedness, all costs of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and all other charges due and payable by the Borrower under this Note or any other Loan Document. If the subject Default has arisen from a failure by the Borrower to make a regular monthly payment of principal and interest, the Lender shall not accelerate the Indebtedness unless the Lender shall have given the Borrower at least three (3) Business Days’ advance Notice of its intent to do so.

If the subject Default is a Curable Non-Monetary Default, the Lender shall exercise its option to accelerate only by delivering Notice of acceleration to the Borrower. The Lender shall not deliver any such Notice of acceleration until (a) the Borrower has been given any required Notice of the prospective Default and (b) any applicable cure period has expired.

Except as expressly described in this Section, no Notice of acceleration shall be required in order for the Lender to exercise its option to accelerate the Indebtedness in the event of Default.

11.

PREPAYMENT FOLLOWING ACCELERATION

Any Default resulting in the acceleration of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be presumed to be an attempt to avoid the provisions of Section 7 of this Note, which prohibit prepayment or condition the Lender’s obligation to accept prepayment on the payment of a prepayment premium. Accordingly, if the Indebtedness is accelerated, any amounts tendered to repay the accelerated Indebtedness, or realized by the Lender through its remedies following acceleration, shall be subject to the prepayment premium, if any, that would have been applicable under Section 7 (calculated from the date of acceleration through the Maturity Date).

12.

SECURITY

This Note is secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing (the “Deed of Trust”) granted by the Borrower to Keith H. Mullen, the Trustee, for the benefit of the Lender, conveying certain real property (the “Real Property”) located in the City of Houston, Harris County, Texas and granting a security interest in certain fixtures and personal property, and by an Absolute Assignment of Leases and Rents made by the Borrower to the Lender, assigning the landlord’s interest in all present and future leases (the “Leases”) of all or any portion of the Real Property encumbered by the Deed of Trust. Reference is made to the Loan Documents for a description of the security and rights of the Lender. This reference shall not affect the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with its terms.

13.

RECOURSE TO BORROWER

The Lender agrees that it shall not seek to enforce any monetary judgment with respect to the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note against the Borrower except through recourse to the Property (as defined in the Deed of Trust), unless the obligation from which the judgment arises is one of the “Carveout Obligations” defined in Section 14.

14.

CARVEOUT OBLIGATIONS

The “Carveout Obligations” are (a) the obligation to repay any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note that arises because the Lender has advanced funds or incurred expenses in respect of any of the “Carveouts” (as defined below), (b) the obligation to repay the entire Indebtedness evidenced by this Note, if the Lender’s exculpation of the Borrower from personal liability under this Section has become void as set forth below, (c) the obligation to indemnify the Lender in respect of its actual damages suffered in connection with any of the Carveouts, and (d) the obligation to defend and hold the Lender harmless from and against any claims, judgments, causes of action or proceedings arising from any of the Carveouts. The “Carveouts” are:

(i)

fraud or material written misrepresentation;

(ii)

waste of the Property (which shall include damage, destruction or disrepair of the Real Property caused by a willful act or grossly negligent omission of the Borrower, but shall exclude ordinary wear and tear in the absence of gross negligence);

(iii)

misappropriation of tenant security deposits (including proceeds of tenant letters of credit), Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds;

(iv)

failure to pay property taxes, assessments or other lienable Impositions;

(v)

failure to pay to the Lender all Rents, income and profits (including any rent collected more than one month in advance, or any rent for the last month of the lease term, under any Lease in force at the time of Default), net of reasonable and customary operating expenses, received in respect of a period when the Loan is in Default;

(vi)

removal from the Real Property of Fixtures or Personal Property, unless replaced in a commercially reasonable manner;

(vii)

the out-of-pocket expenses of enforcing the Loan Documents following Default, not including expenses incurred after the Borrower has agreed in writing to transfer the Real Property to the Lender by the Lender’s choice of either an uncontested foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure;

(viii)

terminating or amending a Lease in violation of the Loan Documents; and

(ix)

any liability of the Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.

The Lender’s exculpation of the Borrower from personal liability for the repayment of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be void without Notice if the Borrower (A) voluntarily transfers or creates any voluntary lien on the Property in violation of the Deed of Trust, or (B) files a voluntary petition for reorganization under Title 11 of the United States Code (or under any other present or future law, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization proceedings or otherwise similarly affecting the rights of creditors), and has not offered, prior to the filing, to enter into the Lender’s choice of either an agreement to permit an uncontested foreclosure, or an agreement to deliver a deed in lieu of foreclosure within sixty (60) days of the Lender’s acceptance of the offer. After the Lender accepts such an offer, default by the Borrower in fulfilling the terms of t he accepted offer shall trigger personal liability for the entire Indebtedness. No such offer shall be conditioned on any payment by the Lender, on the release of any Obligor from any Obligation, or on any other concession.

15.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Note is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, or operates, or would if enforced operate to invalidate this Note, then that provision shall be deemed null and void. Nevertheless, its nullity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Note, which shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed.



 


16.

WAIVER

Except to the extent that such rights are expressly provided in this Note, the Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, notice of protest, dishonor and of nonpayment and any and all lack of diligence or delays in collection or enforcement of this Note. Without affecting the liability of the Borrower under this Note, the Lender may release any of the Property, grant any indulgence, forbearance or extension of time for payment, or release any other person now or in the future liable for the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note or any of the Loan Documents.

The Borrower further (a) waives any homestead or similar exemption; (b) waives any statute of limitation; (c) agrees that the Lender may, without impairing any future right to insist on strict and timely compliance with the terms of this Note, grant any number of extensions of time for the scheduled payments of any amounts due, and may make any other accommodation with respect to the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note; (d) waives any right to require a marshaling of assets; and (e) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, waives the benefit of any law or rule of law intended for its advantage or protection as a debtor or providing for its release or discharge from liability under this Note, excepting only the defense of full and complete payment of all amounts due under this Note and the Loan Documents.

17.

VARIATION IN PRONOUNS

All the terms and words used in this Note, regardless of the number and gender in which they are used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the context or sense of this Note or any paragraph or clause herein may require, the same as if such word had been fully and properly written in the correct number and gender.

18.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS (A) UNDER THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR (B) ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

19.

OFFSET RIGHTS

In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the money, securities, or other property of the Borrower given to the Lender by law, the Lender shall have a lien upon and a right of setoff against all money, securities, and other property of the Borrower, now or hereafter in possession of or on deposit with the Lender, whether held in a general or special account or deposit, or safe-keeping or otherwise, and, following a Default, every such lien and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon, or notice to the Borrower. No lien or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of the Lender, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff or to enforce such lien, or by any delay in so doing, and every right of setoff and lien shall continue in full force and effect until such right of setoff or lien is specifically waived or released by an instrume nt in writing executed by the Lender.

20.

COMMERCIAL LOAN

The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that the Loan was made for commercial or business purposes, and that the funds evidenced by this Note will be used solely in connection with such purposes.

21.

REPLACEMENT OR BIFURCATION OF NOTE

If this Note is lost or destroyed, the Borrower shall, at the Lender’s request, execute and return to the Lender a replacement promissory note identical to this Note, provided the Lender delivers to the Borrower an affidavit to the foregoing effect. Upon delivery of the executed replacement note, the Lender shall indemnify the Borrower from and against its actual damages suffered as a result of the existence of two Notes evidencing the same obligation. No replacement of this Note under this Section shall result in a novation of the Borrower’s obligations under this Note. In addition, the Lender may at its sole and absolute discretion require, at no cost to Borrower, that the Borrower execute and deliver two separate promissory notes, which shall replace this Note as evidence of the Borrower’s obligations. The two replacement notes shall, taken together, evidence the exact obligations set forth in this Note. The replacement notes shall be independently transferable. If this Note is so replaced, the Lender shall return this Note to the Borrower marked to evidence its cancellation.

22.

GOVERNING LAW

This Note shall be construed and enforced according to, and governed by, the laws of Texas without reference to conflicts of laws provisions which, but for this provision, would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

23.

TIME OF ESSENCE

In the performance of the Borrower’s obligations under this Note, time is of the essence.

As used in this Note, the term “Maximum Lawful Rate” shall mean the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable federal law, if it permits a higher rate). “Charges” means all fees, charges, and any other things of value, if any, that are contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved pursuant to this Note, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other conversation or writing between the Lender and the Borrower in connection with the Loan (whether in connection with the acceleration by the Lender of the maturity of the Indebtedness, in connection with any voluntary prepayment of the Indebtedness, or otherwise, and including fees for the forbearance of any enforcement action or for the extension or modification of the Loan) which are treated as in terest under applicable law. The term “Indebtedness” shall mean any and all debt paid or payable by the Borrower to the Lender pursuant to this Note, the Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between the Borrower and the Lender relating to the Loan.

24.2

SAVINGS CLAUSE

The Borrower and the Lender agree that they intend to comply strictly at all times with applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on this Note or the Indebtedness (or applicable federal law, if it preempts Texas law and permits the Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a higher rate or amount of interest than would be permitted under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any Charges, then it is the Borrower’s and the Lender’s express intent that all Charges in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio. If the Indebtedness has not been paid in full, all such cancelled amounts shall be applied to the Indebtedness, and this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed to require the payment of interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate . If the Indebtedness has been paid in full, all such cancelled amounts shall be refunded to the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against the Lender, the Borrower shall provide written Notice to the Lender, advising the Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation. The Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of the Notice to correct any usury violation by either refunding such excess interest to the Borrower or by crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness. All sums contracted for, charged or received by the Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of any debt evidenced by this Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the term of this Note (including any extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Max imum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as any portion of the Indebtedness remains outstanding. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) shall not apply to this Note or to the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of the Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

24.3

CEILING ELECTION

To the extent that the Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Indebtedness, the Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent federal law permits the Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, the Lender will rely on federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, the Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving Notice, if required, to the Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

13.2

SAVINGS CLAUSE

The Borrower and the Lender agree that they intend to comply strictly at all times with applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Note or the Indebtedness (or applicable federal law, if it preempts Texas law and permits the Lender to contract for, accrue or receive a higher rate or amount of interest than would be permitted under Texas law). If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any Charges, then it is the Borrower’s and the Lender’s express intent that all Charges in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically cancelled, ab initio. If the Indebtedness has not been paid in full, all such cancelled amounts shall be applied to the Indebtedness, and the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed to require the payment of interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) shall not apply to the Note or to the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of the Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

13.3

CEILING ELECTION

To the extent that the Lender is relying on Chapter 1D of the Texas Credit Title to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on the Indebtedness, the Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 1D, as amended. To the extent federal law permits the Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, the Lender will rely on federal law instead of such Chapter 1D for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, the Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 1D or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to the Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.

MISCELLANEOUS

14.1

INDEPENDENCE OF OBLIGATIONS

The Carveout Obligor shall be fully and personally liable for the Carveout Obligations, and the Lender shall be entitled to maintain an independent action against the Carveout Obligor regardless of whether Lender has commenced or completed any action against the Borrower or the Property.

If the Lender has initiated any action against the Borrower to enforce the Loan Documents, the Lender may join the Carveout Obligor or refrain from doing so, at its sole and absolute discretion. The liability of Carveout Obligor under this Agreement shall be reinstated with respect to any amount at any time paid to Lender by the Borrower on account of the Carveout Obligations which shall thereafter be required to be restored or returned by the Lender upon the bankrupt cy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Carveout Obligor other than the party against whom the Lender has sought to enforce this Agreement, as though such amount had not been paid. Except as expressly agreed in writing by the Lender, the Carveout Obligations shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or otherwise affected by (a) the reconveyance of the interest created by the Deed of Trust, (b) the consent by the Lender to any transfer of a direct or indirect interest in the Property (whether through sale of the Property, transfers of interests in the Borrower, or a change in the form of business organization of the Borrower), or (c) any forbearance by the Lender to exercise any rights under the Loan Documents, unless those rights are expressly waived or modified in a written instrument duly executed by the Lender, provided, however, that any written modification of the Loan that affects the amount of the Indebtedness may be considered in ascertaining the amount of the Indebtedness for purposes of determining the amount of any Carveout Obligation that arises under Section 4 of this Agreement, absent fraud or material written misrepresentation in connection with such a modification.

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to, and governed by, the laws of Texas without reference to conflicts of laws provisions which, but for this provision, would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

14.7

CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

Every right and remedy provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative of every other right or remedy of the Lender whether herein or by law conferred and may be enforced concurrently with any such right or remedy. No acceptance of performance of any Carveout Obligation as to which the Carveout Obligor shall be in Default, or waiver of particular or single performance of any obligation or observance of any covenant, shall be construed as a waiver of the obligation or covenant or as a waiver of any other Default then, theretofore or thereafter existing.

14.8

SEVERABILITY

In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate, or would prospectively operate, to invalidate this Agreement, then, and in any such event, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed to be null and void and of no force or effect and shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

14.9

SETTLEMENTS

Upon the Lender’s request, the Carveout Obligor agrees to participate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in any settlement between the Borrower and the Lender which includes or may include a deed in lieu of trustee's sale.



14.10

REFERENCE TO PARTICULARS

The scope of a general statement made in this Agreement shall not be construed as having been reduced through the inclusion of references to particular items that would be included within the statement’s scope. Therefore, unless the relevant provision of this Agreement contains specific language to the contrary, the term “include” shall mean “include, but shall not be limited to” and the term “including” shall mean “including, without limitation.”

14.11

ASSIGNMENT

The Lender may assign its rights under this Agreement without Notice to any holder of the Note and assignee of the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.

14.12

SURVIVAL

All obligations under this Agreement shall terminate upon the payment and satisfaction of the entire Indebtedness, provided, however, that this paragraph shall not terminate any obligation under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, which shall be construed independently from this paragraph.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Carveout Obligor has caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the Effective Date.
