Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Xxxxxx hereby agrees to make and Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 The Loan. Xxxxxx agrees to fund additional advances of the Loan requested by Xxxxxxxx from time to time (each, an “Additional Advance”), up to the Building Loan Amount, subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 2.17 through 2.20 below. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be re-borrowed.

The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Payment Date shall be the Interest Period in which such Payment Date falls. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan. The following additional provisions shall apply and, subject to Section 2.2.3 hereof, the Interest Rate shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.2.2. Subject to a replacement of Term

Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Interest Rate shall become effective.
(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the Loan shall be converted from and after the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date to an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan accruing interest at the Alternate Benchmark Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert (x) a SOFR Loan to an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan or a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan or (y) an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon the then-current Benchmark to a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon the applicable Benchmark Replacement for the then-current Benchmark.
(c) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Xxxxxx will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower.

(e) Intentionally Omitted.
39-
(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be the Federal Funds Interest Rate and the Loan shall be a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan.
(g) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall, provided that Lender complies with the requirements of Section 2.2.2(i) below, be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income and franchise taxes of the United States of America imposed by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Xxxxxx is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or imposed by the jurisdiction of Lender’s applicable lending office where Xxxxxx is resident or engaged in business or any political subdivision or taking authority thereof or therein (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder.

Any reference under this Section 2.2.2(f) to “Lender” shall be deemed to include any participant, and any assignees.
(h) If any Change in Law:
(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, tax, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Interest Rate hereunder;
(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Xxxxxx could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Xxxxxx’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
40-
(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as reasonably determined by Lender. If Xxxxxx becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days’ notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount.

This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a SOFR Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of a SOFR Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan which does not include interest through the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder and (C) any Benchmark Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Loan, a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder or, if no such funds were actually obtained from such lenders, an amount equal to the interest or fees which would have been payable by Lender if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a SOFR Loan, a Federal Funds Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Xxxxxx’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(j) If Lender is a U.S. Person (other than the lender originally named herein), Lender shall deliver to Borrower, upon request, a Form W-9 (unless it establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower that it is otherwise eligible for an exemption from backup withholding tax or other withholding tax). If Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, upon request, either (A) an applicable Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or (B) a Form W-8ECI. If Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender further undertakes to deliver to Borrower additional Forms W-8, 1001, 4224 (or any successor forms) or other manner of
41-
certification, as the case may be, (x) on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and (z) such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying that Lender is entitled to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any Foreign Taxes. However, in the event that any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery pursuant to the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders such form inapplicable, or which would prevent Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form, or if such Change in Law results in Lender being unable to deliver a Form W-9 (or other satisfactory evidence that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax), Lender shall not be obligated to deliver such forms but shall, promptly following such Change in Law, but in any event prior to the time the next payment hereunder is due following such Change in Law, advise Borrower in writing whether it is capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of Foreign Taxes. In the event of such Change in Law, Borrower shall have the obligation to make Lender whole and to “gross-up” under Section 2.2.2(e) hereof, despite the failure by Xxxxxx to deliver such forms. Any reference under this Section 2.2.2(i) to “Lender” shall be deemed to include any participant, co-lender and any assignees.
2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein and shall (to the extent not already paid and/or due and payable hereunder) be due and payable on each Payment Date. Borrower acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Xxxxxx’s actual damages resulting from any Event of Default and that the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of those damages and does not constitute a penalty.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
42-
2.3.1 Payments Before the Maturity Date. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the First Interest Period. On each Payment Date thereafter, up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount for the Interest Period within which such Payment Date occurs, which payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal. No Interest Period shall be shortened by reason of any payment of the Loan prior to the expiration of such Interest Period. Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Payment Date to a different calendar day of each month which is not earlier than the first (1st) of the calendar month and is not more than ten (10) days later than the originally scheduled Payment Date of each calendar month; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period correspondingly.
2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.3 Payments Generally. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.

2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided, however that no such late payment charge shall be due with respect to the principal amount of the Loan due on the Maturity Date. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Xxxxxx’s office or as otherwise directed by Xxxxxx, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

43-
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan (either in whole or in part). Borrower may elect, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), which election shall be irrevocable, to prepay the Debt in whole (but not in part) on any Payment Date so long as the Exit Fee and the Minimum Interest Payment Amount, in each case to the extent applicable, is paid in accordance with this Section 2.4; provided, however, if for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay Lender (i) all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan had the Loan actually been repaid on the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment (such amount, the “Interest Shortfall”) and (ii) the Breakage Costs. As a condition to any voluntary prepayment, the notice of prepayment may not be given to Lender more than ninety (90) days prior to the Payment Date upon which prepayment is to be made and Borrower hereby agrees that, in the event Borrower delivers a notice and fails to prepay the Loan in accordance with such notice and the terms of this Section 2.4, Borrower shall pay Lender all reasonable out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs or similar expenses, as a result of such failure.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with any applicable Interest Shortfall and such payment shall be accompanied by the applicable portion of the Exit Fee, and any Breakage Costs. Furthermore, Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 6.5 hereof as and to the extent required thereunder. Other than, in each case, following an Event of Default, no prepayment premium or penalty (which shall not be deemed to include the Exit Fee, which shall be owed as provided for in this Agreement, if applicable) shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 or in connection with any payment pursuant to Section 6.4. Any partial prepayment under this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If concurrently with or during the existence of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered (which tender may be rejected by Lender to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure, or any other Person, or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds or any other cash collateral for the Loan pursuant to the Loan Documents), (i) such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment in an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 herein and (ii) Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Minimum Interest Payment Amount, the Exit Fee and the Breakage Costs, in addition to the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents (including the Interest Shortfall), all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment and if such prepayment occurs prior to the final sale of the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction, Hedge Losses.

In all events and under all circumstances and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to Section 2.2.4, in connection with each and every Minimum Interest Principal Paydown, Borrower shall be obligated to pay to Lender the applicable Minimum Interest Payment Amount. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) Lender shall have no obligation to accept any prepayment or repayment of the Loan unless and until Borrower shall have complied with this Section 2.4.4 and Borrower has deposited with Lender all Interest Shortfall and Breakage Costs, as applicable in accordance with Section 2.4.1, (y) Lender shall have no obligation to release or, if requested by Xxxxxxxx, assign the Note and Mortgage upon payment of the Debt unless and until Lender shall have received each and every Minimum Interest Payment Amount due under this Section 2.4.4, together with all Interest Shortfall and Breakage Costs, as applicable in accordance with Section 2.4.1, and (z) each and every prepayment of the Debt is subject to the terms of this Loan Agreement and nothing in this Section 2.4.4 gives Borrower any right to prepay any portion of the Debt. In the event that any Minimum Interest Payment Amount is due hereunder, Xxxxxx shall deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the Minimum Interest Payment Amount. Lender’s computation of the Minimum Interest Payment Amount shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Xxxxxx’s calculation may be made by Lender on any day during the fifteen (15) day period preceding the date of such prepayment. Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually reinvested the prepaid principal balance at the Benchmark or otherwise as a condition to receiving the Minimum Interest Payment Amount. Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Minimum Interest Payment Amount shall constitute (i) additional consideration for the Loan and (ii) a portion of the Debt, and shall, upon payment, be the sole and exclusive property of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, payment of the Minimum Interest Payment shall be waived in connection with (i) prior to Completion, prepayment in full of the Loan in connection with a bona fide “arms-length” sale of the Property to a third party, which shall be no sooner than fifteen (15) days prior to the receipt by the Borrower of all temporary certificates of occupancy for the Project and the Property required under applicable Legal Requirements and (ii) after the Project is Complete, prepayment in full of the Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of the Exit Fee shall be waived (or, if elected by Xxxxxxxx, credited against the closing costs in connection with the refinancing
45-
of the Loan) in the event Borrower refinances the Loan with a new permanent loan from Oceanview Life and Annuity Company (or its Affiliates) (which may be provided by Oceanview Life and Annuity Company (or its Affiliates) in their sole discretion).

Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Xxxxxxxx, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage.
Section 2.7 Cash Management.
2.7.1 Lockbox Account.
(a) Simultaneously with the occurrence of Completion of the Project, Borrower shall enter into a Lockbox Agreement with a Lockbox Bank selected by Borrower and acceptable to Lender. Thereafter, Borrower shall maintain the Lockbox Account for the term of the Loan, which Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (subject to the terms hereof and of the Lockbox Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Lockbox Agreement, the Lockbox Bank shall, at the direction of Lender (which may not be given until the first commencement of a Trigger Period hereunder), establish the Lockbox Account, which Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (subject to the terms hereof and of the Lockbox Agreement); once established, Borrower shall maintain the Lockbox Account for the term of the Loan. The Lockbox Account shall have a title evidencing the foregoing in a manner acceptable to Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority security interest in the Lockbox Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Lockbox Account. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file UCC Financing Statements and continuations thereof to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Lockbox Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Lockbox Account (or any successor thereto) shall be paid by Xxxxxxxx. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Lockbox Account shall be deemed additional security for the Debt. Borrower shall not alter or modify either the Lockbox Account or the Lockbox Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender. The Lockbox Agreement shall provide (and Borrower shall provide) Lender online access to bank and other financial statements relating to the
46-
Lockbox Account (including, without limitation, a listing of the receipts being collected therein). In connection with any change of the Servicer for the Loan, Lender shall have the right to cause the Lockbox Account to be entitled with such other designation as Lender may select to reflect an assignment or transfer of Xxxxxx’s rights and/or interests with respect to the Lockbox Account or the appointment of a new Servicer, as applicable. Lender shall provide Borrower with prompt written notice of any such renaming of the Lockbox Account. Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Lockbox Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. The Lockbox Account (i) shall be an Eligible Account and (ii) shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower or Lockbox Bank.
(b) Upon (i) Lockbox Bank ceasing to be an institution acceptable to Lender, (ii) any resignation by Lockbox Bank or termination of the Lockbox Agreement by Lockbox Bank or Lender and/or (iii) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s request, (1) appoint a new Lockbox Bank (which such Lockbox Bank shall (I) be an institution acceptable to Lender, (II) other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Borrower and approved by Xxxxxx, and (III) during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Lender), (2) cause such Lockbox Bank to open a new Lockbox Account and enter into a new Lockbox Agreement with Lender on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previous Lockbox Agreement and (3) send new Tenant Direction Notices and the other notices required pursuant to the terms hereof relating to such new Lockbox Agreement and Lockbox Account. Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake any action required of Borrower under this Section 2.7 in the name of Borrower in the event Borrower fails to do the same. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but may only be exercisable by the Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the completion of items (1) - (3) above, Borrower and Lender shall cooperate to terminate the previous Lockbox Account and Lockbox Agreement.
(c) On or prior to the date of Completion, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a partially-completed Tenant Direction Notice to each commercial Tenant set forth on the Rent Roll, together with authorization for Lender or its agent to complete and deliver such Tenant Direction Notices upon the occurrence of the first Trigger Period. Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that, from and after the first occurrence of a Trigger Period and thereafter for so long as the Debt remains outstanding, Borrower shall (i) deliver and cooperate with Lender to cause delivery to each commercial Tenant a Tenant Direction Notice, and (ii) within three (3) Business Days of receipt, deposit or cause to be deposited into the Lockbox Account (1) all revenue derived from the Property (including without limitation all Operating Income) and received by Borrower or Manager, as the case may be, and (2) all funds otherwise payable to Borrower by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement (or otherwise in connection with the Property), (iii) not maintain any other accounts by Borrower or any other Person into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property are directly deposited and (iv) provide additional or newly executed Tenant Direction Notices as directed by Xxxxxx and further cooperate
47-
to direct each commercial Tenant to pay rent directly to the Lockbox Account. Until deposited into the Lockbox Account, any Rents and other revenues from the Property held by or on behalf of Borrower shall be deemed to be held in trust by Borrower for the benefit of Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower. If following receipt of a Tenant Direction Notice, the recipient fails to remit payments as directed thereby for sixty (60) days, Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such recipient to comply with the terms thereof. If the recipient fails to remit payments as directed thereby for ninety (90) days after receipt of such Tenant Direction Notice, then in addition to continuing such efforts, Borrower shall give notice thereof to Lender. Borrower warrants and covenants that it shall not rescind, withdraw or change any notices or instructions required to be sent by it pursuant to this Section (including, without limitation, any Tenant Direction Notice) in each case without Xxxxxx’s prior written consent.
(d) Upon request of Xxxxxxxx, following payment in full of the Loan, Lender shall (i) give written notice to the Lockbox Bank releasing all of Xxxxxx’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Lockbox Account, and (ii) provide to Borrower a letter authorizing all Tenants to pay all future rents as may thereafter be directed by Xxxxxxxx.
2.7.2 Cash Management Account.
(a) Simultaneously with the occurrence of Completion of the Project, Borrower shall enter into a Cash Management Agreement with a Cash Management Bank. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Cash Management Agreement shall provide, among other things, that upon the commencement of the first Trigger Period (if any) hereunder, a cash collateral account shall be established at the Cash Management Bank (such account, the “Cash Management Account”) in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest. Borrower hereby agrees that the Cash Management Agreement shall constitute an account control agreement with Cash Management Bank for the purposes of the UCC, and authorizes Lender to file UCC Financing Statements and continuations thereof to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Cash Management Account if reasonably necessary. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account, and neither Borrower or any other Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right or authority, whether express or implied, to make use of, or withdraw any funds, investments or other properties from, the Cash Management Account, or to give any instructions with respect to the Cash Management Account. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower from time to time in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. The Cash Management Account shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of the Borrower. Borrower shall provide Lender or Cash Management Bank, at any time upon request of Lender, with a Form W-8 or W-9 to evidence that Borrower is not subject to any back-up withholding under the IRS Code. If Xxxxxxxx has not completed the process of opening the Cash Management Account with the Cash Management Bank prior to the first Payment Date during a Trigger Period, then
48-
(without limiting Lender’s rights to exercise its remedies under this Agreement by reason of any breach by Borrower) until establishment of the Cash Management Account (i) references to the Cash Management Account shall mean a Reserve Account established and held by Xxxxxx, and (ii) references to the Cash Management Bank shall mean Lender and/or its Servicer and/or the bank at which such Reserve Account is established.
(b) Lender shall not require the Lockbox Bank to transfer funds from the Lockbox Account to the Cash Management Account other than during a Trigger Period; during a Trigger Period, Lender may require transfers from the Lockbox Account to the Cash Management Account on a daily basis. At any time that a Trigger Period is not continuing, the funds from the Lockbox Account shall be deposited into the Borrower’s Operating Account. While a Trigger Period is continuing, Lockbox Bank shall be directed to transfer funds available in the Lockbox Account (in accordance with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement) to the Cash Management Account at the frequency (not less than weekly) specified in the Lockbox Agreement. Furthermore, in its sole discretion, Borrower may, from time to time deposit amounts into the Cash Management Account from sources of Borrower other than those received by the Lockbox Bank; provided, that if Borrower deposits such amounts, the amounts deposited shall be subject to all of the terms hereof as if not separately deposited by Borrower, and may not be withdrawn or applied other than as provided for in this Section 2.7.2(b). Lender shall give disposition instructions from time to time directing Cash Management Bank that funds, if any, on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall on each Payment Date be disbursed by the Cash Management Bank or Servicer in the following amounts and order of priority:
(i) First, to the payments to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account in an amount sufficient to pay the monthly deposit required to be made for Taxes and Insurance Premiums in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.3;
(ii) Next, to Lender in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, for application in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3.1 hereof;
(iii) Next, to the Replacement Reserve Account in the amount of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, for application in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.4 hereof;
(iv) Next, funds sufficient to pay any other amounts due and owing to Lender and/or Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and/or of the other Loan Documents, if any, shall be deposited with or as directed by Xxxxxx;
(v) Next, an amount equal to the Operating Expense Monthly Disbursement shall be disbursed to Borrower’s Operating Account; and
(vi) Last, any amounts remaining in the Cash Management Account after application in accordance with the foregoing (such remaining amounts, “Excess Cash Flow”) shall be deposited into the Excess Cash Flow Account and applied in accordance with Section 7.7(b) hereof.
49-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that Lender may direct Cash Management Bank that all funds held in the Cash Management Account during the continuance of any Event of Default are to be administered and applied by Lender or Servicer as permitted by Section 7.1(c) and Section 8.2 of this Agreement, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law (other than, with respect to amounts collected for the payment of Lease Taxes, which shall be disbursed by Lender or Servicer directly to the Governmental Authority to whom they are owed).
(c) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(d) If at any time Lender or Servicer notifies Borrower (the date such notice is given, the “Trigger Period Notice Date”) that, notwithstanding that no notice thereof had previously been delivered, a Trigger Period commenced on a date prior to the Trigger Period Notice Date (such date, the “Trigger Period Commencement Date”), Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days of the Trigger Period Notice Date, deposit cash into the Lockbox Account in an amount equal to the difference between (1) all Operating Income during the Deposit Period less (2) the sum of (A) all Monthly Debt Service Payment Amounts actually made during the Deposit Period, (B) all deposits actually made into the Reserve Accounts during the Deposit Period and (C) all Operating Expenses actually expended by Borrower during the Deposit Period, such amount (the “Trigger Period True Up Deposit”) to be reasonably calculated by Lender in its discretion, which shall be shall be final and binding absent manifest error. As used herein, “Deposit Period” shall mean the period of time commencing on the Trigger Period Commencement Date and ending on the Trigger Period Notice Date.
2.7.3 Payments Received In the Cash Management Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts due for the Reserve Funds and any other reserves established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by the Cash Management Bank, so long as Lender’s access to such funds is not obstructed or interfered with in any way by the activities of any Restricted Party or their Affiliates, or the Cash Management Bank, or by any action or proceeding affecting any of them or the Property.
Section 2.8 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
2.8.1 Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement that (i) shall be in a form and substance acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall at all times be with a Counterparty, (iii) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan, (iv) shall, for each applicable period set forth on Schedule 2.8 attached hereto, have a notional amount equal to or greater than the notional amount corresponding to such period and set forth on
50-
Schedule 2.8 attached hereto, and (v) shall at all times have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. Borrower shall direct such Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account (or, if the Cash Management Account is not then activated, into such other Account as Lender may designate) any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to be outstanding if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof. Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), including, without limitation, its right to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), and Borrower shall, and shall cause Counterparty to, deliver to Lender a fully executed Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account (or, if the Cash Management Account is not then activated, into such other Account as Lender may designate)).
2.8.2 Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Cash Management Account (or, if the Cash Management Account is not then activated, into such other Account as Lender may designate). Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Xxxxxx’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
2.8.3 In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by any Rating Agency below the Minimum Counterparty Rating or in the event of a Benchmark Conversion, Borrower shall either (x) replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such Benchmark Conversion or downgrade, withdrawal or qualification with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or (y) if provided for in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause the Counterparty to deliver collateral to secure Borrower’s exposure under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in such amount and pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies; provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing, the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) If the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement is required as a result of a Benchmark Conversion, such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement must:
(i) provide to Lender and Borrower a hedge against rising interest rates that is no less beneficial to Borrower and Lender than the Interest Rate Cap Agreement required pursuant to Section 2.8.1 above. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.” In the event that a Counterparty is required pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement to (i) deliver collateral as specified in the applicable Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or (ii) find a replacement Counterparty, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall seek Xxxxxx’s approval with respect
51-
thereto and shall not approve or consent to the foregoing unless and until Xxxxxxxx receives Xxxxxx’s prior written approval and shall approve or consent to the foregoing upon receipt of Xxxxxx’s prior written approval. Xxxxxxxx’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.8.3 shall constitute, at Lender’s option, an immediate Event of Default.
(ii) refer to the Benchmark Replacement instead of Term SOFR (or any other Benchmark that has been replaced by the Benchmark Replacement) and (B) have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate increased by the difference between the Benchmark Replacement and Term SOFR if the Benchmark Replacement is higher than Term SOFR or decreased by the difference between the Benchmark Replacement and Term SOFR if the Benchmark Replacement is lower than Term SOFR, in each case, on the date that the Interest Rate is first calculated at the Benchmark Replacement.
(b) Such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall thereafter be subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents regarding Interest Rate Cap Agreements and, concurrently with the replacement of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on Term SOFR or any other then-applicable Benchmark, Borrower shall be entitled to terminate, sell, or liquidate such Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on Term SOFR or such other Benchmark. Borrower shall be entitled to effectuate the foregoing by amending the Interest Rate Cap Agreement based on Term SOFR or any other then-applicable Benchmark to comply with the foregoing requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the relevant Benchmark Replacement is not publicly recognized by ISDA as an alternative to Term SOFR and/or ISDA has not approved an amendment to hedge agreements generally providing such Benchmark Replacement as a standard alternative to Term SOFR, Borrower shall purchase such other hedging product as reasonably determined by Lender or, in the event such product is not commercially available, Borrower and Lender shall cooperate to find a mutually agreeable alternative to an Interest Rate Cap Agreement that would afford Lender substantially equivalent protection from increases in the Interest Rate.
2.8.4 In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement as required herein or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
2.8.5 Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(a) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
52-
(b) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(c) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(d) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
2.8.6 Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement acceptable to Lender in connection with each Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
Section 2.9 Extension of the Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the initial Scheduled Maturity Date for three (3) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of twelve (12) months each (each, an “Extension Period”) to (i) February 9, 2026, if the first Extension Option is exercised, (ii) February 9, 2027, if the second Extension Option is exercised, and (iii) February 9, 2028, if the third Extension Option is exercised upon satisfaction (in each case as reasonably determined by Lender) of the following terms and conditions, each of which shall be satisfied prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Period unless otherwise specified:

The provisions of this Section 2.20(b) are not intended to limit or derogate from Borrower’s and Guarantor’s absolute and unconditional obligation to pay such interest, fees, expenses, Taxes and Insurance Premiums regardless of whether Loan proceeds are available or advanced therefor to the extent (if any) provided in the applicable Guaranty.
(c) Direct Advances to Third Parties. At Lender’s option, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.22(c), Lender may make any or all Additional Advances directly or through the Title Company to (i) General Contractor or any Major Trade Contractor for construction expenses which shall theretofore have been approved by Lender and for which Borrower shall have failed to make payment, (ii) Borrower’s Architect to pay its fees to the extent funds are allocated thereto in the Project Budget, (iii) the Construction Consultant to pay its fees and disbursements, (iv) Lender’s counsel to pay its fees and disbursements, (v) to itself to pay (A) any installment of interest due under the Building Loan Note, (B) any expenses incurred by Lender which are reimbursable by Borrower under the Building Loan Documents (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other fees and expenses incurred by such Lender), provided that Borrower shall theretofore have received notice from Lender that such expenses have been incurred and Borrower shall have failed to reimburse Lender for said expenses beyond any grace periods provided for said reimbursement under the Building Loan Note, this Agreement or any of the other Building Loan Documents, or (C) following an Event of Default, any other sums due to any Lender under the Building Loan Note, this Agreement or any of the other Building Loan Documents, all to the extent that the same are not paid by the respective due dates thereof, (vi) to pay Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums, and (vii) any other Person to whom Lender in good faith determines payment is due and any portion of the Building Loan so disbursed by Lender shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lender shall have no obligation to make any Additional Advance after the Completion Date (except for Retainage not yet disbursed, other Building Loan Costs associated with usual and customary Punch List Items and Soft Costs if funds
70-
allocated in the Project Budget remain available to be advanced under this Agreement for such purposes and subject to all the conditions to Additional Advances therefor).
(e) Interest Advance. A portion of the Loan specified in the Project Budget (the “Interest Advance”) has been reserved for payments of interest as it accrues and becomes due and payable on the Loan.

(f) Loan In Balance. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender shall not be required to make any Additional Advance if any Shortfall exists.
(g) The making of an Additional Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed. Xxxxxx’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Additional Advances if and to the extent, required by this Agreement.
(h) Developer Fees. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, fifty percent (50%) of the fees due to any developer of the Project in connection with each draw shall be deferred until Completion of the Project and, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Additional Advance be made available to fund (nor shall Borrower make any disbursement to pay), more than fifty percent (50%) of the fees due to any developer of the Project in connection with any draw until Completion has occurred.
(i) Additional Advances for Operating Expenses. During any calendar quarter during which Xxxxxx has made an Additional Advance to pay for, or reimburse Borrower for, Operating Expenses, Borrower will deliver a schedule (together with supporting detail reasonably satisfactory to Lender) reconciling (A) the aggregate amount of Additional Advances made to Borrower for Operating Expenses pursuant to the Project Budget during such calendar quarter and (B) the actual Operating Expenses incurred during such calendar quarter, and to the extent Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that Operating Expenses actually incurred in such quarter were less than the amount of Additional Advances made to Borrower for Operating Expenses pursuant to the Project Budget during such calendar quarter, then Lender may in its discretion either (x) decrease the amount to be disbursed for payment of Operating Expenses pursuant to the Project Budget for the following month (or, if necessary, months) in an amount necessary to reflect such difference or (y) require that Borrower, within ten (10) days following written request, deposit with Lender an amount equal to such difference. For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxxx shall not make any Additional Advances for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Section 2.20(i) in duplication of any Additional Advance made pursuant to Section 2.20(b).

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Xxxxxxxx’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

With respect to any loan or financing in which any Restricted Party or any Affiliate thereof has been directly or indirectly obligated for or has, in connection therewith, otherwise provided any guaranty, indemnity or similar surety (including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, any loan which is being refinanced by the Loan), none of such loans or financings has ever been (i) more than thirty (30) days in default or (ii) transferred to special servicing. With respect to Xxxxxx’s rights in the Leases and Rents, Borrower acknowledges that this Agreement, the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, individually and collectively, are intended to give Lender the benefit of Section 214 of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994 and the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code referenced therein, as the same may hereafter be amended from time to time.

Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or with the current ability of the Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the Loan or Borrower’s ability to pay and perform the obligations under the Loan Documents when they become due. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with the Assignment of Leases and any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

(a) Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect all certificates of occupancy (or similar authorizations) and other rights, licenses, permits, franchises and trade names now or hereafter in effect

Borrower covenants and agrees, provided there is sufficient cash flow from the Property, not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture, it being understood that nothing in this Section 4.1.1(a) shall obligate members of Borrower to make a capital contribution to the Borrower.

All other Leases (including Major Leases) and all renewals, amendments and modifications thereof executed after the date hereof shall be subject to Xxxxxx’s prior approval, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any Lease with an Affiliate of Borrower shall be accompanied by (i) a guaranty from each Sponsor of such Lease acceptable to Lender and (ii) a subordination and attornment agreement acceptable to Lender.

With respect to any Lease other than a Major Lease, provided that no Trigger Period is continuing, Borrower may consent to any assignment or sublease without Xxxxxx’s prior written approval if such proposed assignee or sublessee is of comparable creditworthiness to the then-existing Tenant and such assignment or sublease is in good faith and would not materially adversely affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.

Lender shall have the right from time to time during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to Borrower to examine the books and records related to the Property, at the office of Borrower or other Person maintaining such books and records, and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. During the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any costs incurred by Xxxxxx to examine such books, records and accounts, as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Xxxxxx’s interest.

Xxxxxxxx agrees that all Required Financial Items shall not contain any misrepresentation or omission of a material fact.
(e) Borrower acknowledges the importance to Lender of the timely delivery of each of the items required by this Section 4.1.11 and the other financial reporting items required by this Agreement (each, a “Required Financial Item” and, collectively, the “Required Financial Items”). In the event Borrower fails to deliver to Lender any of the Required Financial Items within the time frame specified herein (each such event, a “Reporting Failure”), the same shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder and, without limiting Lender’s other rights and remedies with respect to the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Borrower shall, if not cured within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice of same from Lender, pay to Lender the sum of $1,250.00 per occurrence for the first Reporting Failure and $2,500.00 for each subsequent Reporting Failure.

113-
entitled to disbursement of such Rent Loss Proceeds in accordance with the terms hereof, such Rent Loss Proceeds shall be deposited by Lender in the Cash Management Account and disbursed as provided in Section 2.7 hereof; provided, however, that (I) nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the Rent Loss Proceeds, and (II) in the event the Rent Loss Proceeds are paid in a lump sum in advance and Borrower is entitled to disbursement of such Rent Loss Proceeds in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender or Servicer shall hold such Rent Loss Proceeds in an account at an institution acceptable to Lender (which shall deemed to be included within the definition of the “Accounts” hereunder) and Lender or Servicer shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the applicable Casualty, shall divide the applicable aggregate Rent Loss Proceeds by such number of months and shall disburse such monthly installment of Rent Loss Proceeds from such account into the Cash Management Account each month during the performance of such Restoration;

(e) All property Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) the following shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the Policy insofar as Lender is concerned: (A) any act or negligence of Borrower, of anyone acting for Borrower, or of any other Person named as an insured under such Policies, (B) or any foreclosure or other proceeding or notice of sale relating to the Property, and (C) the failure to comply with the provisions of the Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof;

Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall also comply with the foregoing within ten (10) days of written request of Xxxxxx.
(g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
(h) With respect to commercial property/builder’s risk, loss of rents and/or business interruption insurance, commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance required under this Section 6.1(a) (including, if applicable, insurance required under Section 6.1(a)(2)(iv) above), insurance for loss resulting from acts of terrorism in amounts and with terms and conditions applicable to commercial property/builder’s risk, loss of rents and/or business interruption insurance, commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance required under this Section 6.1(a), the policy or endorsement providing for such insurance shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall satisfy Rating Agency criteria for securitized loans; provided that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019 (as the same may have been or may further be modified, amended, or extended, “TRIPRA”) or subsequent statute, extension, or reauthorization is in effect and covers both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIPRA shall determine the acts of terrorism for which coverage shall be required; provided further, however, if TRIPRA (or such subsequent statute, extension or
117-
reauthorization) is not in effect, Borrower shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the TC Cap (defined below) in order to obtain the terrorism coverage (but Borrower shall be obligated to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism coverage available with funds equal to the TC Cap). As used above, “TC Cap” shall mean an amount equal to two (2) times the premium then currently payable in respect of the property, business interruption/loss of rents and liability insurance required under this Agreement (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism, flood, and earthquake and windstorm components of such insurance at the time terrorism coverage is excluded from any Policy).
(i) In the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration (including, without limitation, payment of all deductibles under the Policies) whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall have the right to settle all claims under the Policies less than the Restoration Threshold so long as no Event of Default then exists. Any claims in excess of the Restoration Threshold shall be settled by Xxxxxxxx jointly with Xxxxxx, provided that (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiates a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of such claim. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened (in writing) commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Xxxxxxxx shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Total Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled
118-
to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Building Loan Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Xxxxxx of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Building Loan Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Total Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration. Prior to Completion of the Improvements, disbursements of the Net Proceeds to Borrower hereunder shall be made from time to time as if such Net Proceeds constituted unadvanced Loan proceeds and shall be subject to all of the conditions precedent thereof set forth in Sections 2.10 through 2.20 hereof mutatis mutandis. If the Casualty occurs following the Completion of the Improvements, the following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:

(I) Borrower and Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and its counsel pursuant to the provisions of which Borrower and Guarantor shall jointly and severally guaranty to Lender the lien-free completion by Borrower of the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b);
(J) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and Property Documents, and the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;

(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Xxxxxx and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Xxxxxx (the “Casualty Consultant”).

The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Xxxxxx and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work
121-
in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Xxxxxx or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Xxxxxx receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward the payment of the Debt (whether or not then due and payable) in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Mortgage shall be reduced only by the amount of such Net Proceeds actually applied by Lender in reduction of the principal amount of the Debt.
VII. RESERVE FUNDS.
Section 7.1 The Accounts Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and any and all sums now or hereafter deposited in the Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Accounts and the funds deposited therein shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 7.1 (together with the other related provisions of the other Loan Documents) are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Accounts and the Account Collateral and serve as a “security agreement” and a “control agreement” with respect to the same, in each case, within the meaning of the UCC. Xxxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees (including Servicer), subject to the terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Account except with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein. The funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be held in Xxxxxx’s name and commingled with other monies held by Xxxxxx.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender (which consent Lender may grant or deny in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Accounts or the sums deposited therein or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Accounts and the Account Collateral in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein. Xxxxxxxx agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Xxxxxxxx, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Account or Account Collateral.
123-
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, during the continuance of an Event of Default (and without notice from Lender or Servicer): (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Accounts, (ii) Lender may liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in investments acceptable to Lender pursuant to the applicable terms hereof to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other investments acceptable to Lender as Lender may reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant to the other Loan Documents or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Account or any Account Collateral, and (iii) Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Account Collateral as described in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, may apply the amounts of such Accounts as Lender determines in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, payment of the Debt.
(d) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments for which the proceeds of such Account are to be applied, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever. If at any time Lender determines that the funds available in any Account will not be sufficient to pay for the cost or expense for which such funds have been required to be deposited with Lender hereunder by the date required therefor, or if Lender determines (based on the then-current Approved Annual Budget or on review of a physical conditions report for the Property, among other sources) to reassess its estimate of the amount necessary to be reserved for any such costs or expenses, then, at Lender’s option, Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender with respect to the applicable Account(s) by the amount that Lender so notifies Borrower is required and/or deposit the shortfall amount reasonably determined by Lender into the applicable Account(s) within five (5) Business Days of notice from Lender.
(e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Losses arising from or in any way connected with the Accounts, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f) Borrower and Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) shall maintain each applicable Account with an institution acceptable to Lender. From time to time Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in transferring the applicable Accounts to an institution satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby grants Lender power of attorney (irrevocable for so long as the Loan is outstanding) with respect to any such transfers and the establishment
124-
of accounts with a successor institution, such power only to be exercisable by Xxxxxx during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(g) Lender or Servicer shall have the right to invest amounts on deposit in the Accounts in investments acceptable to Lender as and to the extent elected by Lender or Servicer, and any interest accrued thereon shall not be required to be remitted either to Borrower or to any Account and may instead be retained by Xxxxxx.
(h) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender or Servicer for all fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Accounts, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any monthly or annual fees or charges as may be assessed by Lender or Servicer in connection with the administration of the Accounts and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 7.2 Shortfall Reserve Account.
7.2.1 Borrower shall, if required in connection with the exercise of the first Extension Option, make an initial deposit into the Shortfall Reserve Account (as defined below) in the amount required pursuant to Section 2.9(k) hereof, which amount is intended to cover potential shortfalls in Debt Service and Operating Expenses (amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 7.2.1 are referred to herein as “Shortfall Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Shortfall Reserve Account”). In the event Borrower elects to make such a deposit into the Shortfall Reserve Account pursuant to Section 2.9(k), then on a quarterly basis from and after the exercise of the first Extension Option, Lender shall calculate the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (First Extension) and the Debt Yield (Extension). In the event that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (First Extension) is less than 1.10 to 1.00 or the Debt Yield (Extension) is less than nine percent (9.0%), after giving effect to funds on deposit in the Shortfall Reserve Account by adding them to the Underwritable Cash Flow (First Extension), Borrower must either (i) prepay a portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance in the amount of the First Extension Prepayment Amount, provided that any such prepayment shall be treated as a voluntary prepayment under Section 2.4.1 hereof or (ii) deposit cash in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the First Extension Prepayment Amount, (B) the amount by which the Underwritable Cash Flow (First Extension) would need to increase in order to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (First Extension) of 1.10 to 1.00, or (C) the amount by which the Underwritable Cash Flow (First Extension) would need to increase in order to achieve a Debt Yield (Extension) of nine percent (9.0%) into the Shortfall Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements of the Shortfall Reserve Funds from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2.2 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Borrower elects to make a prepayment of the Loan to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 2.9(k) hereof, then this Section 7.2 shall have no force or effect.
7.2.2 Lender shall, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written request from Borrower (a) withdraw funds from the Shortfall Reserve Account to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the date when due (if applicable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), together with any late payment charges or interest accruing at the Default Rate
125-
and (b) on each Payment Date, disburse Shortfall Reserve Funds for the payment of Approved Operating Expenses and Approved Extraordinary Expenses.
Section 7.3 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. On each Payment Date from and after Stabilization, until the Loan is paid in full in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates (in its reasonable judgment) 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 (b) 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 (amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 7.3 are referred to herein as “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the foregoing clause (a) the Taxes shall not include any assessments for the C-PACE Loan until the Payment Date occurring in August, 2024. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes and Other Charges) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, 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 Funds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account and otherwise under this Agreement. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Xxxxxx may deal with the Person shown on the records of Xxxxxx to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and within ten (10) days of such notice, Borrower shall make a True Up Payment with respect to such insufficiency into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account and/or 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 Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.4 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.4.1 Replacement Reserve Funds. Commencing on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2026, and on each Payment Date occurring thereafter until the Loan is paid in full in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the greater of (a) the amount recommended by Xxxxxx’s engineering consultant and (b) 1/12th of (x) $150 per bed plus (y) $0.20 per rentable square foot of commercial/retail space (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) (all said amounts, collectively being hereinafter called the “Replacement Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to
126-
as the “Replacement Reserve Account”). Moneys in the Replacement Reserve Account shall be used solely to pay the costs of replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property which, under the Approved Accounting Method, are categorized as capital expenses and not as operating expenses (collectively, the “Replacements”), as more fully set forth in this Section 7.4. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds required from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Account upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.
7.4.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. Lender shall disburse to Borrower Replacement Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) from the Replacement Reserve Account from time to time, but not more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period, upon (i) satisfaction of the Disbursement Conditions for Capital Expenditures or Replacements, (ii) at Lender’s option, delivery to Lender of a title search or title endorsement, in each event at Borrower’s cost, indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Xxxxxx, and (iii) at Lender’s option, if the cost of the Replacements exceeds $25,000.00, delivery to Lender of a report, at Borrower’s cost, satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion from an architect or engineer approved by Xxxxxx in respect of such architect or engineer’s inspection of the Replacements. Borrower shall have paid all invoices with respect to which a disbursement is requested or, at the request of Borrower, if Borrower is requesting a payment rather than a reimbursement of all such costs, Lender shall issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor (or a direct payment directly to such contractor), supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due. In the case of payments made by joint check or direct payment, Lender may require a conditional waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Xxxxxx’s disbursement. Any lien waiver (conditional or otherwise) 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, if 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). During a Trigger Period, Lender may require that any disbursement for costs that have not been previously paid by Xxxxxxxx (as demonstrated by evidence acceptable to Lender) be made either directly to the contractor, vendor or supplier (if any) or, at Xxxxxx’s option, by two-party check jointly to Borrower and such Person. Lender shall not be required to disburse Replacement Reserve Funds in an amount less than $5,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account is less than $5,000). Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of $25,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.
7.4.3 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to perform all Replacements reasonably required and to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.5 Prepaid Rent Reserve. Upon the commencement of the first Trigger Period (if any) hereunder, Borrower shall deposit with Lender all Rents that have been paid more than
127-
one (1) month in advance (“Prepaid Rent”). Thereafter, within three (3) business days of receipt of any additional Prepaid Rent, Borrower shall deposit such additional Prepaid Rent with Lender. All amounts deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 7.5, collectively are referred to herein as the “Prepaid Rent Funds” and the account in which such funds are held is referred to as the “Prepaid Rent Reserve Account”. The initial deposit and each future deposit of Prepaid Rent Funds shall be accompanied by (i) a current copy of the Prepaid Rent Schedule that lists the Tenant(s) and calendar month(s) to which such deposit applies and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Prepaid Rent Schedule is true, correct, accurate and complete in all respects. Provided no Event of Default exists, Prepaid Rent Funds shall be deposited by Lender into the Cash Management Account in accordance with the Prepaid Rent Schedule.
Section 7.6 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.7 Excess Cash Flow Funds. During any Trigger Period, Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited with Lender all Excess Cash Flow, to be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan (amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Account”). Upon the termination of each Trigger Period, all amounts (if any) then remaining on deposit in the Excess Cash Flow Account shall be disbursed to Borrower’s Operating Account.

132-
Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Xxxxxxxx agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Xxxxxxxx and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its discretion in respect of the Debt. Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations and priorities as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all components immediately after the effective date of any such severance equals the outstanding principal balance of all components immediately prior to such modification, and (ii) no such severance shall cause the weighted average interest rate of the notes and components of the Loan immediately after giving effect to such severance, or upon any subsequent
133-
prepayment of any note or component of the Loan (or portion of any of the foregoing (other than any payments made pursuant to Section 2.4.2 hereof or otherwise applied during the continuance of an Event of Default)) to be greater than the interest rate of the original Note. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Xxxxxx, a severance agreement and such other documents as Xxxxxx shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Xxxxxx of Xxxxxx’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan and/or paid to or received by Lender may, during the existence of an Event of Default, be applied by Lender toward the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. At any time (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (ii) upon reasonable prior notice or (iii) in cases of emergency (in which event no prior notice shall be required), Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred until the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Xxxxxx therefore.
134-
(f) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Xxxxxx’s rights, powers and remedies hereunder and under any such other Loan Documents may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Xxxxxx’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Xxxxxx may declare its obligation to make Additional Advances hereunder to be terminated, whereupon the same shall terminate, and/or declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Building Loan Note, together with all other sums payable under the Building Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Building Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly hereby waived by Xxxxxxxx; provided, however, that Xxxxxx may make Additional Advances or parts of Additional Advances thereafter without thereby waiving the right to demand payment of the Building Loan Note, without becoming liable to make any other or further Additional Advances, and without affecting the validity of or enforceability of the Building Loan Documents. Notwithstanding and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Xxxxxx’s obligation to make Additional Advances hereunder shall automatically terminate and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Lender shall not be obligated to make any further Additional Advance until such time as the same is remedied.
(h) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may cause the Improvements to be completed and may enter upon the Property and construct, equip and complete the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, with such changes therein as Lender may, from time to time, and in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. In connection with any construction of the improvements undertaken by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, Lender may:
(i) use any funds of Borrower, including any balance which may be held by Xxxxxx as security or in escrow, and any funds remaining unadvanced under the Building Loan;
(ii) employ existing contractors, subcontractors, including Major Trade Contractors, agents, architects, engineers, and the like, or terminate the same and employ others;
135-
(iii) employ security watchmen to protect the Property;
(iv) make such additions, changes and corrections in the Plans and Specifications as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, be necessary or desirable to complete the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, provided that such changes, additions and corrections shall not increase the cost of the Improvements;
(v) take over and use any and all Personal Property contracted for or purchased by Xxxxxxxx, if appropriate, or dispose of the same as Lender sees fit;
(vi) execute all applications and certificates on behalf of Borrower which may be required by any Governmental Authority or Legal Requirement or contract documents or agreements;
(vii) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Property, or may be necessary for the Completion of the Improvements or the clearance of title to the Property, including, without limitation, all Taxes and assessments;
(viii) prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with the construction of the Improvements or in any other way affecting the Property, the Improvements and take such action and require such performance as Lender deems necessary under the Payment and Performance Bonds and/or Subguard Insurance, as applicable; and
(ix) take such other action hereunder, or refrain from acting hereunder, as Xxxxxx may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time determine, and without any limitation whatsoever, to carry out the intent of this Section 8.2.
Borrower shall be liable to Lender for all costs paid or incurred for the construction, completion and equipping of the Improvements, whether the same shall be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section or otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by Lender hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be deemed advances made to Borrower under this Agreement and shall be secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and the other Building Loan Documents.
To the extent that any costs so paid or incurred by Xxxxxx, together with all other Additional Advances made by Xxxxxx hereunder, exceed the Building Loan Amount, such excess costs shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid; and Borrower shall execute such notes or amendments to the Building Loan Note as may be requested by Lender to evidence Borrower’s obligation to pay such excess costs and until such notes or amendments are so executed by Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx’s obligation to pay such excess costs shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Agreement. In the event Lender takes possession of the Property and assumes control of such construction as aforesaid, Lender shall not be obligated to continue such construction longer than Lender shall see fit and may thereafter, at any time, change any course of action undertaken by it or abandon such construction and decline to make further payments for the account of Borrower whether or not the Property shall have been completed. For
136-
the purpose of this Section, the construction, equipping and completion of the Property shall be deemed to include any action necessary to cure any Event of Default by Borrower under any of the terms and provisions of any of the Building Loan Documents.
IX. NO SALE OR ENCUMBRANCE.

137-
or interest therein) or any similar action instituted or prosecuted by Borrower or by any other Person, pursuant to any contractual agreement or other instrument or under applicable law (including, without limitation, common law).
(d) Without Lender’s prior written consent thereto, in its sole discretion, any Transfer resulting in any direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower or the Property being held in any Prohibited Entity/Ownership Structure is prohibited.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer shall not include any assignments, transfers, Sales or Pledges by ACRES of debt originated by ACRES in connection with any repurchase or warehouse facility.

10.3.1 Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each of Guarantor and Sponsor) understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, any of Guarantor or Sponsor and/or their respective agents, counsel and representatives may be (i) included in (A) the Disclosure Documents and (B) filings under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act and (ii) made available to Investors, the Rating Agencies and service providers, in each case, in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction.
10.3.2 Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Person against any actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any Indemnified Person may become subject in connection with any Disclosure Document and/or any Covered Rating Agency Information, in each case, insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information and/or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Provided Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
10.3.3 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.3 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 10.3. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
145-
thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
10.3.4 Without the prior consent of Oceanview Life and Annuity Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Oceanview Life and Annuity Company reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings.

Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Xxxxxx harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Xxxxxx’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Lender may pay additional compensation, fees, commissions or other payments to any broker relating to the origination, sale and/or securitization of the Loan, in addition to any other compensation, fees, commissions or other payments which may be paid by Borrower or any other party directly to any broker. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the payment of any such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments are in addition to any other compensation, fees, commissions or other payments which may be paid by Borrower or any other party directly to any broker, (ii) the payment of any such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments may create a potential conflict of interest for any broker in its relationship with Borrower, and Lender is not responsible for any recommendation, services or advice given to Borrower by any broker, and (iii) no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or will exist between Borrower and Lender other than as lender and borrower. Borrower (A) acknowledges that (1) such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments may include a direct, one-time payment of an origination or similar fee, certain payments based on volume and/or size of referrals, profit-sharing payments and/or an ongoing financial interest in the Loan (including by acting as sub-servicer for the Loan) and (2) Borrower has had an opportunity to discuss the specifics of any compensation, fees, commissions or other payments with any broker to the extent Borrower deemed necessary and Borrower has independently determined to proceed with the Loan and (B) consents to any such arrangement and the payment by Lender to any broker of any such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments.
