Debt Service Reserve Account Borrower shall fund and maintain a debt service reserve in the Debt Service Reserve Account, in an amount equal to twelve (12) monthly payments of principal and interest on the Term Loan as determined from time to time by the Lender (the “Debt Service Reserve Amount”). Beginning with the first fiscal year end after the Effective Date, and at each fiscal year end thereafter, until such time as the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account is equal to or greater than the Debt Service Reserve Amount, one hundred percent (100%) of Excess Cash Flow shall be deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account by Borrower within 120 days of each fiscal year end. The balance held in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall earn interest at the rate determined by the Lender from time to time. If at any time after the Debt Service Reserve Amount has been fully funded by the Borrower the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account is less than sixty-seven percent (67.0%) of the applicable Debt Service Reserve Amount, the Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice from the Lender as provided herein, deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account an amount sufficient to restore the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account to an amount not less than the Debt Service Reserve Amount; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to make a deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account to the extent that such a deposit would exceed one hundred percent (100%) of Excess Cash Flow, calculated based upon unaudited monthly financial statements required by Section 5.01(c)(ii) of this Agreement for the month ending immediately prior to receipt of notice from the Lender. In the event that Borrower is not required to fully restore the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account pursuant to the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall at the earliest possible date thereafter, to the extent of Excess Cash Flow determined on unaudited monthly financial statements required by Section 5.01(c)(ii) of this Agreement or audited financial statements required by Section 5.01(c)(i) of this Agreement, as applicable, deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account such additional amounts as will restore the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Account to an amount not less than the Debt Service Reserve Amount. As and when any of the Loan Obligations are past due, after any applicable grace periods have expired, under any Loan Document, Lender, in its sole discretion, may withdraw from the Debt Service Reserve Account the amount of the then past due Loan Obligations and apply such amounts to the payment of the past due Loan Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents, the Lender may, after any applicable grace periods have expired, withdraw amounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account, in its sole discretion, and apply such amounts to the payment of the Loan Obligations in such order and manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. Withdrawals by the Lender of any amounts from the Debt Service Reserve Account to pay any Loan Obligations as provided in this Section 2.14 may be made without the requirement of any consent by or notice to the Borrower, provided that Lender shall provide to Borrower notice that such withdrawal was made within a reasonable time thereafter. Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that its obligation to pay the Loan Obligations are absolute and unconditional and it is not dependent upon sufficient deposits in the Debt Service Reserve Account being available to make payment on any Loan Obligations, and nothing herein shall be construed to negate or modify the Borrower’s absolute and unconditional obligation to pay the Loan Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender any and all deposit account control agreements the Lender may reasonably request in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and take all actions and deliver all documents the Lender may reasonably request or require to perfect the Lender’s security interest in the Debt Service Reserve Account, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.

In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender's judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
