	(v)		No Lien Claim. No lien or claim based on furnishing labor or materials has been filed or asserted against the Premises, unless

Borrower has properly provided bond or other security against loss in accordance with applicable law.

	(vi)		Approvals. All Governmental Permits required for the Capital Replacement as completed to the applicable stage have been obtained.

	(vii)		Legal Compliance. The Capital Replacement as completed to the applicable stage does not violate any applicable Governmental Requirements.

	(c)		Right to Complete Capital Replacements. If Borrower abandons or fails to proceed diligently to undertake and/or complete any Capital Replacement in a timely fashion or is otherwise in default under this Agreement for 3 0 days after written notice of such failure by Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Property and take over and cause the completion of such Capital Replacement. However, no such notice or grace period shall apply in the case of such failure which could, in Lender’s judgment, absent immediate exercise by Lender of a right or remedy under this Agreement, result in harm to Lender or impairment of the security given under the Mortgage or any other Loan Document. Any contracts entered into or indebtedness incurred upon the exercise of such right may be in the name of Borrower, and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the attorney in fact of Borrower, such appointment being coupled with an interest, to enter into such contracts, incur such obligations, enforce any contracts or agreements made by or on behalf of Borrower (including the prosecution and defense of all actions and proceedings in connection with the Capital Replacement and the payment, settlement or compromise of all bills and claims for materials and work performed in connection with the Capital Replacement) and do any and all things necessary or proper to complete any Capital Replacement including signing Borrower’s name to any contracts and documents as may be deemed necessary by Lender. In no event shall Lender be required to expend its own funds to complete any Capital Replacement, but Lender may, in its sole discretion, advance such funds. Any funds advanced shall be added to the outstanding balance of the Loan, secured by the Mortgage and payable to Lender by Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage pertaining to the protection of Lender’s security and advances made by Lender. Borrower waives any and all claims it may have against Lender for materials used, work performed or resultant damage to the Property unless arising due to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

	(d)		To secure Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and to further secure Borrower’s obligations under the Note, and other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby conveys, pledges, transfers and grants to Lender a first and prior security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law in and to all money in the Replacement Reserve Account, as

same may increase or decrease from time to time, all interest and dividends thereon and all proceeds thereof.

4.27 Restrictions on Distributions. Borrower shall not make any distributions or dividends to its members unless the following conditions have been satisfied (a) at least twelve (12) months shall have elapsed since the first residential Lease shall have been executed and become effective; (b) with respect to the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the proposed distribution or dividend, the Borrower shall have a debt service coverage ratio equal to 1.2% determined by dividing the net operating income of the Borrower by all principal, interest and other payment obligations due to Lender; and (c) at least three (3) months shall have elapsed since the last distribution or dividend. The foregoing debt service coverage ratios shall be derived from the financial statements provided by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

ARTICLE V
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LENDER

5.01 Rights of Lender. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy of Lender set forth in the Note, the Loan Documents, the Mortgage or in any other document associated with this transaction, but not the obligation, in its own name or in the name of Borrower, to enter into possession of the Premises; to perform all work necessary to complete the construction of the New Improvements substantially in accordance with the Plans, Governmental Requirements, and the requirements of any lessee, if applicable; and to employ watchmen and other safeguards to protect the Premises. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower, with full power of substitution, and in the name of Borrower, if Lender elects to do so, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, to (a) use such sums as are necessary, including any proceeds of the Loan and the Borrower’s Deposit, make such changes or corrections in the Plans, and employ such, engineers, and contractors as may be required for the purpose of completing the construction of the New Improvements substantially in accordance with the Plans and Governmental Requirements, (b) execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required for completion of construction of the New Improvements, (c) endorse the name of Borrower on any checks or drafts representing proceeds of the Insurance Policies, or other checks or instruments payable to Borrower with respect to the Premises, (d) do every act with respect to the construction of the New Improvements which Borrower may do, and (e) prosecute or defend any action or proceeding incident to the Premises. The power of attorney granted hereby is a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable. Lender shall have no obligation to undertake any of the foregoing actions, and, if Lender should do so, it shall have no liability to Borrower for the sufficiency or adequacy of any such actions taken by Lender, except if such actions are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Lender.

5.02 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, declare the Loan immediately due and payable without notice of any kind.

5.03 Cessation of Advances. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the obligation of Lender to disburse the Loan and the Borrower’s Deposit and all other obligations of Lender hereunder shall, at Lender’s option, immediately terminate.

5.04 Funds of Lender. Any funds of Lender used for any purpose referred to in this Article V shall constitute Advances secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the rate specified in the Note to be applicable after default thereunder.

No waiver by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent right or remedy of Lender, no delay or omission in the exercise or enforcement by Lender of any rights or remedies shall ever be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy of Lender; and no exercise or enforcement of any such rights or remedies shall ever be held to exhaust any right or remedy of Lender.

5.06 Other Remedies. In addition to the foregoing, the Lender shall possess all other rights and remedies available to it at either law or equity upon the occurrence of an Event of Default including, without limitation, the right to foreclose the Mortgage and exert any and all other rights and remedies available to it thereunder or under any other debt evidencing or debt securing document executed by and between Lender and Borrower.

All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Loan (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.
