Related to Insurance Taxes and Replacement Reserves

• Insurance Costs (08/19) Contractor shall be financially responsible for all premiums, deductibles, self-insured retentions, and self-insurance.

• Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund (a) If (and for so long as) a Trigger Event shall have occurred and shall not have been cured by a Trigger Event Cure, on each Payment Date during such period, Borrower shall pay to Lender (or Servicer, as directed by Lender) an amount equal to (i) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Lender shall apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall return any excess to Borrower (or to Operating Company, if so directed by Borrower). In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make any deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund on account of Insurance Premiums if (and for so long as) Borrower shall maintain a blanket insurance policy in respect of the Properties that is in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) and otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all material respects. (c) Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund following the occurrence of a Trigger Event Cure shall be returned to Borrower (or Operating Company, as directed by Borrower).

• Premium Taxes If premium taxes are incurred, they will be deducted from the contract accumulation, to the extent permitted by law.

• Ad Valorem Taxes Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay all taxes and assessments levied upon trade fixtures, alterations, additions, improvements, inventories and personal property located and/or installed on or in the Premises by, or on behalf of, Tenant; and if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of receipts for payment of all such taxes and assessments. To the extent any such taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord.

• Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection Expenses (a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Home Equity Loan hazard insurance naming the Master Servicer or related Subservicer as loss payee thereunder providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Home Equity Loan from time to time or (ii) the combined Loan Balance owing on such Home Equity Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Home Equity Loan from time to time; provided, however, that such coverage may not be less than the minimum amount required to fully compensate for any loss or damage on a replacement cost basis. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Home Equity Loan, fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the amount necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. Amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account to the extent called for by Section 3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located at any time during the life of a Home Equity Loan in a federally designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the related Home Equity Loan shall include flood insurance (to the extent available). All such flood insurance shall be in amounts equal to the lesser of (i) the amount required to compensate for any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program). The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Home Equity Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy consistent with its general mortgage servicing activities insuring against hazard losses on all of the Home Equity Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.04, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.04 and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Custodial Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on the last Business Day of the Collection Period in the month in which payments under any such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial Account. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Home Equity Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, claims under any such blanket policy.

• REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS (a) Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth in paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge that there shall be no need for a real estate tax proration. However, Seller represents that to the best of its knowledge, all real estate taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable in all years prior to the year of Closing have been paid in full. Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid levied and pending special assessments existing on the date of Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and Seller in proportion to their respective Tenant in Common interests, pro-rated, however, to the date of closing for the period prior to closing, which shall be the responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay the same. Seller and Buyer shall likewise pay all taxes due and payable in the year after Closing and any unpaid installments of special assessments payable therewith and thereafter, if such unpaid levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property. (b) All income and all operating expenses from the Entire Property shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted by them as of the date of Closing. Seller shall be entitled to all income earned and shall be responsible for all expenses incurred prior to the date of Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to its proportionate share of all income earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate share of all operating expenses of the Entire Property incurred on and after the date of closing.

• Insurance Reserves Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor, and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility.

• Real Estate Taxes If with respect to any full Tax Year or fraction of a Tax Year falling within the Term, Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises as hereinafter defined for a full Tax Year exceed Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises, or for any such fraction of a Tax Year exceed the corresponding fraction of Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises then, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Tenant of the certified statement referred to below in this Section 2.7, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of such excess. Not later than ninety (90) days after Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises are determined for the first such Tax Year or fraction thereof and for each succeeding Tax Year or fraction thereof during the Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail certified by a representative of Landlord showing for the preceding year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, real estate taxes on the Building and the Site and abatements and refunds of any taxes and assessments. Expenditures for legal fees and for other expenses incurred in obtaining the tax refund or abatement may be charged against the tax refund or abatement before the adjustments are made for the Tax Year. Said statement to be rendered to Tenant shall also show for the preceding year or fraction thereof as the case may be the amounts of real estate taxes already paid by Tenant as Additional Rent, and the amount of real estate taxes remaining due from, or overpaid by, Tenant for the year or other period covered by the statement. Within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the balance of the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 2.7 with respect to the preceding year or fraction thereof, or Landlord shall credit any amounts due from it to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7 against (i) monthly installments of fixed rent next thereafter coming due or (ii) any sums then due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (or refund such portion of the over-payment as aforesaid if the Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord). To the extent permitted by applicable law and provided there shall not then be existing an Event of Default, there is a minimum of twelve (12) full calendar months remaining in the Term (as it may have been extended) and Tenant has given prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any of the real estate taxes by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith; provided, however, that as a continuing condition to such right, Tenant shall be required to make those payments respecting real state taxes as and at the times required by law notwithstanding any such contest. Tenant further agrees that each such contest shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted in good faith to a final conclusion except only as provided herein. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant in any such proceeding provided that the same shall be at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. Tenant will pay and save Landlord harmless against any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs incurred by Landlord (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to the Premises and the Term hereof and being the direct or proximate result of Tenant’s initiation of such contest and will, promptly after the final settlement, compromise or determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge Tenant’s obligations under this Section 2.7, together with all penalties, fines, interests, costs and expenses. Further, any such contest by Tenant shall not be discontinued unless and until Tenant has given to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s intent to so discontinue and if Landlord shall not by notice to Tenant (the “Assumption Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice elect to assume, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, the continued prosecution and conduct of such contest. In the event Landlord shall give such Assumption Notice, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in all respects as may be necessary for Landlord’s continuation of such contest, but Tenant shall have no other obligation for the prosecution and conduct of such contest. In addition, payments by Tenant on account of increases in real estate taxes anticipated for the then current year shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of fixed rent. The amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord to be sufficient to provide Landlord, in the aggregate, a sum equal to Tenant’s share of such increases, at least ten (10) days before the day on which such payments by Landlord would become delinquent. To the extent that real estate taxes shall be payable to the taxing authority in installments with respect to periods less than a Tax Year, the foregoing statement shall be rendered and payments made on account of such installments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no decrease in Landlord’s Tax Expenses with respect to any Tax Year shall result in a reduction of the amount otherwise payable by Tenant if and to the extent said decrease is attributable to vacancies in the Building or partial completion of the Building rather than to any other causes. Terms used herein are defined as follows:
