The deductible amount under such policy or policies shall not exceed $10,000. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this Section by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full insurable value” means the actual replacement cost of the Property (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items).

Such coverage shall in no event be less than an amount customarily maintained by persons in similar circumstances having properties of comparable size and offering comparable services as those of the Borrower.

21
thereto. In the event that flood insurance is not required by applicable law or regulation to be provided in connection with the Loan or is not otherwise available with respect to the Property, the Borrower shall supply the Lender with written evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, to that effect. Any such policy shall provide that the policy may not be surrendered, cancelled or substantially modified (including, without limitation, cancellation for non-payment of premiums) without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to any and all insureds named therein, including the Lender.
Section 4.5 Fees and Expenses; Indemnity.
