Section 11. Miscellaneous.
(a) ALO's Rights Not Waived or Limited. If the ALO delays in exercising or
fails to exercise any right or power under this Agreement, this delay or failure to exercise
will not affect the ALO's subsequent ability to exercise the right or power. Similarly, any
single or partial exercise of any right or power or any abandonment, waiver, or
discontinuance of steps to enforce a right or power will not preclude or prevent the ALO
from the full or further exercise of the right or power, or the exercise of any other right or
power. The rights and remedies of the ALO under this Agreement are cumulative and
concurrent and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it might otherwise have. This
means that the ALO may exercise different rights at the same time or in succession. The
ALO may choose to enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents strictly in accordance
with their terms, even if the ALO may have refrained from so doing at any earlier times.
The ALO's decision at any earlier times to refrain from strict enforcement of its rights shall
not be construed as having created a custom contrary to specific provisions of the Loan
Documents, or as having in any way or manner modified or waived those written provisions.
(b) Amendments and Consents to be in Writing. This Agreement, the Approval
Letter, and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the ALO and
the Borrower. Such instruments may be modified only by a written instrument duly
executed by the ALO and the Borrower and approved by the Department. Any consent or
approval of any kind or character on the part of the ALO under this Agreement, and any
waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement, must be in writing and executed by
the ALO and will be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
(c) Survival of Covenants. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower
contained herein or made in writing in connection herewith will survive and continue until
the Loan is entirely paid and all of the Borrower's obligations hereunder have been entirely
satisfied.
(d) Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement, the Approval Letter and the
other Loan Documents are contracts made under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and will be interpreted under those laws. The Borrower consents for all
purposes of the Loan Documents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, including without limitation the Court of Common Pleas of the County in
which the Project is located.
(e) Countemarts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as
may be deemed necessary and convenient and each of which, when so executed, will be
deemed an original. This means that the parties may sign different copies of the signature
page.
(f) Formal Notices. Any notices or consents required or permitted by this
Agreement must in writing and addressed to the Borrower or the ALO, as applicable. Notices
will be deemed to be delivered if delivered in person or if sent by certified or registered mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the Borrower or the ALO, as
applicable, at the addresses set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. Notice will be
effective on delivery if delivered in person or on the second business day following mailing
if mailed.
(g) Invalidity of any Terms not to Invalidate A~:reement. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement are severable. If anyone or more of the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Agreement are found to be unenforceable or invalid, under
federal, state or other applicable law, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render any
other term, covenant, condition or provision this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.
(h) Further Confirmations. The Borrower agrees to sign such further documents
as the ALO may reasonably request to further confirm and assure the interests and rights
created or intended to be created in favor of the ALO hereunder or under the Mortgage, or
any of the Loan Documents. These further confirmations may not impose additional
obligations on the Borrower or otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement.
(i) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Borrower and the ALO, and their respective successors and assigns, except
that the Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior written
consent of the ALO. The Borrower understands that an integral part of the Small Business
First program is that the ALO assigns the Loan to the Department.
G) No Third Party Beneficiary. The parties do not intend the benefits of this
Agreement to inure to any third party except as expressly provided in this subsection. No
portion of the ALO's commitment to make the Loan will, at any time, be subject to
attachment or levy by any creditor of the Borrower or by any contractor, subcontractor,
materialman or supplier or any creditor of any such contractor, subcontractor, materialman or
supplier. Neither this Agreement nor the course of conduct ofthe ALO will be construed as
creating any rights, claims, or causes of action against the ALO, in favor of any contractor,
subcontractor, supplier oflabor or materials, or any of their respective creditors, or any other
person or entity other than the ALO.
The ALO's rights in the Loan and the Loan Documents will be assigned to the
Department and may be assigned to another Area Loan Organization certified by the
Department without consent of the Borrower. The Department is a third-party beneficiary of
the obligations of the Borrower and any Guarantor hereunder (including, without limitation,
all obligations regarding property pledged as security for such obligations). The rights of the
Department hereunder may be waived or modified only by action in writing executed by the
Secretary of Community and Economic Development or his designee. The Department may
not be estopped from asserting its rights as third-party beneficiary hereunder by any act or
omission of the ALO not expressly consented to in writing by the Secretary of Community
and Economic Development.
(k) Inspection Only for ALO's Benefit. The Borrower understands and agrees
that the ALO may enter the Premises provided that at least 24 hour notice is provided prior
to entering the Premises and may conduct tests, surveys, examinations and inspections as the
ALO decides are appropriate. Although the ALO may inspect the plans and specifications,
cost estimates, actual construction, and other matters pertaining to construction of the
Proj~ct, these inspections are solely for the protection of the ALO. The Borrower
understands and agrees that it is relying on its own inspections and reviews to protect
its interests and that the ALO does not make and will not make any warranties or
representations as to any matters pertaining to the Project, including, without limiting
the generality hereof, the sufficiency of the construction funds, the adequacy of the
plans and specifications, or the proper performance by any contractor, subcontractor
or materialman.
(1) Exhibits. Some provisions of this Agreement are contained on the Exhibits to
this Agreement. This has been done in order to simplify preparation of this Agreement, and
the provisions of all the Exhibits are a part of this Agreement just as if they were contained
in the body of this Agreement rather than in attached exhibits.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the
day and year first above written.

NONDISCRIMINATION CLAUSE
During the term of this contract, Contractor agrees as follows:
1. Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee, applicant for employment,
independent contractor or any other person because of race, color, religious creed, ancestry, national
origin, age or sex. Contractor shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed,
and that employees or agents are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color,
religious creed, handicap, ancestry, national origin, age or sex. Such affirmative action shall include,
but is not limited to: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment
advertising; layoff or termination; rates of payor other forms of compensation; and selection for
training. Contractor shall post in conspicuous places, available to employees, agents, applicants for
employment and other persons, a notice to be provided by the contracting agency setting forth the
provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
2. Contractor shall in advertisements or requests for employment placed by it or on its
behalf, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to
race, color, religious creed, handicap, ancestry, national origin, age, or sex.
3. Contractor shall send each labor union or workers' representative with which it has a
collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice advising said labor
union or workers' representative of its commitment to this nondiscrimination clause. Similar notice
shall be sent to every other source of recruitment regularly utilized by Contractor.
4. It shall be no defense to a finding of noncompliance with this nondiscrimination
clause that Contractor had delegated some of its employment practices to any union, training
program or other source of recruitment, which prevents it from meeting its obligations. However, if
the evidence indicates that the Contractor was not on notice of the third-party discrimination or made
a good faith effort to correct it, such factor shall be considered in mitigation in determining
appropriate sanctions.
5. Where the practices of a union or of any training program or other source of
recruitment will result in the exclusion of minority group persons, so that Contractor will be unable
to meet its obligations under this nondiscrimination clause, Contractor shall then employ and fill
vacancies through other nondiscriminatory employment procedures.
6. Contractor shall comply with all state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination in
hiring or employment opportunities. In the event of Contractor's noncompliance with the
nondiscrimination clause of this contract or with any such laws, this contract may be terminated or
suspended, in whole or in part, and Contractor may be declared temporarily ineligible for further
Commonwealth contracts, and other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked.
7. Contractor shall furnish all necessary employment documents and records to, and
permit access to its books, records and accounts by. the contracting agency for purposes of
investigation to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this clause. If Contractor does not
possess documents or records reflecting the necessary information requested, it shall furnish such
information on reporting forms supplied by the contracting agency.
8. Contractor shall actively recruit minority subcontractors and women subcontractors or
subcontractors with substantial minority representation among their employees.
9. Contractor shall include the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause in every
subcontract, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor.
10. Contractor obligations under this clause are limited to the Contractor's facilities
within Pennsylvania or, where the contract is for purchase of goods manufactured outside of
Pennsylvania, the facilities at which such goods are actually produced.

EXHIBIT "A"
NONDISCRIMINATION CLAUSE
During the term of this contract, Contractor agrees as follows:
1. Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee, applicant for employment,
independent contractor or any other person because of race, color, religious creed, ancestry, national
origin, age or sex. Contractor shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed,
and that employees or agents are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color,
religious creed, handicap, ancestry, national origin, age or sex. Such affirmative action shall include,
but is not limited to: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment
advertising; layoff or termination; rates of payor other forms of compensation; and selection for
training. Contractor shall post in conspicuous places, available to employees, agents, applicants for
employment and other persons, a notice to be provided by the contracting agency setting forth the
provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
2. Contractor shall in advertisements or requests for employment placed by it or on its
behalf, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to
race, color, religious creed, handicap, ancestry, national origin, age, or sex.
3. Contractor shall send each labor union or workers' representative with which it has a
collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice advising said labor
union or workers' representative of its commitment to this nondiscrimination clause. Similar notice
shall be sent to every other source of recruitment regularly utilized by Contractor.
4. It shall be no defense to a finding of noncompliance with this nondiscrimination
clause that Contractor had delegated some of its employment practices to any union, training
program or other source of recruitment which prevents it from meeting its obligations. However, if
the evidence indicates that the Contractor was not on notice of the third-party discrimination or made
a good faith effort to correct it, such factor shall be considered in mitigation in determining
appropriate sanctions.
5. Where the practices of a union or of any training program or other source of
recruitment will result in the exclusion of minority group persons, so that Contractor will be unable
to meet its obligations under this nondiscrimination clause, Contractor shall then employ and fill
vacancies through other nondiscriminatory employment procedures.
6. Contractor shall comply with all state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination in
hiring or employment opportunities. In the event of Contractor's noncompliance with the
nondiscrimination clause of this contract or with any such laws, this contract may be terminated or
suspended, in whole or in part, and Contractor may be declared temporarily ineligible for further
Commonwealth contracts, and other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked.
8
7. Contractor shall furnish all necessary employment documents and records to, and
permit access to its books, records and accounts by, the contracting agency for purposes of
investigation to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this clause. If Contractor does not
possess documents or records reflecting the necessary information requested, it shall furnish such
information on reporting forms supplied by the contracting agency.
8. Contractor shall actively recruit minority subcontractors and women subcontractors or
subcontractors with substantial minority representation among their employees.
9. Contractor shall include the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause in every
subcontract, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor.

within Pennsylvania or, where the contract is for purchase of goods manufactured outside of
Pennsylvania, the facilities at which such goods are actually produced.”
