Excess Expenses If the expenses for any Portfolio for any fiscal year (including fees and other amounts payable to the Adviser, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage costs, litigation, and other extraordinary costs) as calculated every business day would exceed the expense limitations imposed on investment companies by any applicable statute or regulatory authority of any jurisdiction in which shares of a Portfolio are qualified for offer and sale, the Adviser shall bear such excess cost. However, the Adviser will not bear expenses of any Portfolio which would result in the Portfolio's inability to qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Payment of expenses by the Adviser pursuant to this Section 5 shall be settled on a monthly basis (subject to fiscal year end reconciliation) by a reduction in the fee payable to the Adviser for such month pursuant to Section 3 and, if such reduction shall be insufficient to offset such expenses, by reimbursing the Trust.

Collection Expenses The Borrower further agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by applicable law, to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the holder of this Note in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due.
Excess Costs If the Permitted Costs exceeds the Finish Allowance, then Tenant shall pay all such excess costs (“Excess Costs”), provided, however, Landlord will, prior to the commencement of construction of Tenant’s Improvements, advise Tenant of the sum of the Contract Sum and the Construction Management Fee (the “Cost Estimate”). Tenant shall have five (5) business days from and after the receipt of such advice within which to approve or disapprove the Contract Sum and Cost Estimate. If Tenant fails to approve same by the expiration of the fifth such business day, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Proposed Contract Sum and Cost Estimate. If Tenant disapproves the Contract Sum and Cost Estimate within such five (5) business day period, then Tenant shall either reduce the scope of Tenant’s Improvements such that the Contract Sum and Construction Management Fee do not exceed the Finish Allowance or, at Tenant’s option, Landlord shall obtain two (2) additional bids, provided that each day beyond such five (5) business day period and until the rebid is accepted by Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder. The foregoing process shall continue until a Contract Sum and Cost Estimate are accepted or deemed accepted by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant must approve (or be deemed to have approved) the Contract Sum for the construction of Tenant’s Improvements in writing prior to the commencement of construction.
