Reporting and Recordkeeping The ownership of the property whether securities, cash and/or other property, and whether held by the Custodian or a subcustodian or in a depository, clearing agency or clearing system, shall be clearly recorded on the Custodian's books as belonging to the Series and not for the Custodian's own interest. Where certificates are legended or otherwise not fungible with publicly traded certificates (and in other cases where the Custodian and the Series may agree), the Series reserves the right to instruct the Custodian as to the name only in which such securities shall be registered and the Custodian, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall comply with such Instructions; provided, however, if the Custodian reasonably determines that compliance with such Instructions is not reasonably practicable or otherwise may conflict with applicable law, rule or regulation, the Custodian shall promptly notify the Series and shall comply with reasonable alternatives as to which the parties may agree. The Custodian shall keep accurate and detailed accounts of all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions for the Series. All accounts, books and records of the Custodian relating thereto shall be open to inspection and audit at all reasonable times during normal business hours of the Custodian by any person designated by the Series. All such books, records and accounts shall be maintained and preserved in the form reasonably requested by the Series and in accordance with the Act and the Rules and Regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Section 31 thereof and Rule 31a-1 and 31a-2 thereunder. All books, records and accounts pertaining to the Series, which are in the possession of the Custodian, shall be the property of the Fund and such materials or (unless the delivery of original materials is required pursuant to applicable law) legible copies thereof in a format reasonably acceptable to the Fund, shall be surrendered promptly upon request; provided, however, that the Custodian shall be entitled to retain a copy or the original of any such books, records and accounts as may be required or permitted by applicable law and the Custodian's own policies and procedures. The Custodian will supply to the Series from time to time, as mutually agreed upon, a statement in respect to any property of the Series held by the Custodian or by a subcustodian.
Financial Reporting (i) Borrower shall keep and maintain or shall cause to be kept and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, books, records and accounts reflecting in reasonable detail all of the financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property and ownership of the Mortgaged Property and in connection with any services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property, whether such income or expense may be realized by Borrower or by any other Person whatsoever. Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Borrower to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. During the continuation of an Event of Default (including, without limitation, an Event of Default resulting from the failure of Borrower to deliver any of the financial information required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1(r)), Borrower shall pay any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine Borrower’s accounting records, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.

(viii) At least thirty (30) days prior to the end of each of Borrower’s Fiscal Years, Borrower shall submit or cause to be submitted to Lender for its approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, an Operating Budget for Property Expenses, Capital Improvement Costs, Leasing Commissions, and replacement reserve costs for the next Fiscal Year for the Mortgaged Property. Such Operating Budget may allow for a ten percent (10%) line item variance. Until so approved by Lender for the subsequent Fiscal Year in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 5.1(r)(ix) below, the Operating Budget approved by Lender for the preceding Fiscal Year shall remain in effect for purposes of Section 2.12; provided, that for so long as such prior Operating Budget remains in effect, amounts set forth in the prior Operating Budget with respect to Property Expenses shall be deemed increased with respect to actual increases in Basic Carrying Costs and non-discretionary utility expenditures and shall be deemed increased by three percent (3%) with regard to discretionary items. Promptly following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall submit or cause to be submitted to Lender a Working Capital Budget for the remainder of the Fiscal Year during which such Event of Default occurs and by not later than the end of each of Borrower’s Fiscal Years with respect to the subsequent Fiscal Year.
(ix) Borrower shall submit any proposed Operating Budget in writing sent by recognized overnight delivery service or by registered or certified mail (and simultaneously shall contact the Lender by telephone and by electronic mail) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “First Notice”), requesting Lender’s approval of such Operating Budget. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower its written approval or disapproval of the proposed Operating Budget within ten (10) Business Days after Lender shall have received the First Notice. Unless Lender shall have approved the Operating Budget contained in the First Notice, Lender’s approval shall be deemed to be withheld. If Borrower does not receive Lender’s response at the end of such ten (10) Business Days period, Borrower may resubmit its written request to Lender (the “Second Notice”). The Second Notice shall make reference to the First Notice and shall bear the following legend in capital letters: “LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE LENDER’S CONSENT TO THE OPERATING BUDGET DESCRIBED HEREIN.” If Lender does not approve or disapprove the proposed Operating Budget within ten (10) Business Days after Lender shall have received Borrower’s Second Notice, Lender shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Operating Budget.
(x) Together with the financial statements, rent rolls, operating statements and other documents and information provided to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower under this Section, Borrower also shall deliver to Lender a certification in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, executed on behalf of Borrower by its chief executive officer or chief financial officer (or by the individual Guarantor if the Guarantor is an individual) stating that, to such officer’s or individual’s knowledge, such financial statements, rent rolls, operating statements and other documents and information are true and complete in all material respects.
(xi) For purposes of this Section 5.1(r), all of the financial reporting requirements may be satisfied by the Borrower posting the required deliveries on a secure website reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and sending to the Lender and its servicer each month an electronic mail communication notifying the Lender and its servicer of the linkage to such website; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Lender includes the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction in which Securities are issued or otherwise changes the identity of its servicer to a Person other than the initial servicer identified to the Borrower as of the Closing Date, then the Lender may require that such deliveries be made to Lender and its servicer in hard copy and on diskette or through electronic mail (including Microsoft Excel format), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.
