(b) CSA will make payments on payment date to the person or entity that on the books of CSA is the Pool Investor as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date. The Record Date is the last business day of the prior month. Any other adjustment between transferee and transferor is their responsibility and obligation.

Upon transfer of the Pool Certificate, the transferor shall cease to have any right in the Pool Certificate or any Obligation or commitment under this Agreement.

(c) Pursuant to the Third Party Lender Agreement, Seller shall not be entitled to receive any prepayment penalties, late fees, other default charges, or escalated interest after default from Liquidation Proceeds obtained directly or indirectly from Project Properly until all Loan Receivables payable on the GDC 504 loan with a subordinate lien on the Project Property have been received by the CDC or SBA.
17. Default by Central Servicing Agent
(a) If CSA receives any payment from Borrower, Seller or SBA and fails to remit to the Program Participant pursuant this Agreement, the Program Participant shall have the right to make written demand on CSA for any payment not remitted by CSA.
(b) If CSA fails to remit any such payment within ten (10) business days of such demand, Program Participant shall have the right to make written demand on the SBA Servicing Office identified in this Agreement.

(a) This paragraph applies if the Borrower notifies Seller that it intends to make a partial or total prepayment of the Pool Loan.
17 |

The prepayment date must be a date that is two business days prior to a monthly payment date that is established with the CSA, and on which immediately available funds shall be delivered to CSA. The written notice shall be received by the CSA at least ten (10) business days prior to the prepayment date, and it shall be Seller’s responsibility to verify receipt of such notice by CSA. Seller’s notice to CSA shall include:
(1) The SBA loan number and Borrower name
(2) The prepayment date
(3) The principal amount being prepaid
(4) The accrued interest due the CSA as of prepayment date (interest shall accrue through and including the calendar day immediately preceding the prepayment date)

21. Indemnity and Force Majeure.

Under no circumstances shall any party hereto (including CSA) be held liable to any person or entity for special or consequential damages or for attorneys’ fees or expenses in connection with its performance under this Agreement.
If any party hereto (including CSA) shall be delayed in its performance hereunder or prevented entirely or in part from completing such performance due to causes or events beyond its control, such delay or non-performance shall be excused and the reasonable time for performance in connection with this Agreement shall be extended to include the period of such delay or non-performance.

22. Emergency Repurchase Authority by Seller.

Seller must submit to the SBA servicing center a written request, which includes the following:
A. Current financial statements of the Borrower,
B. A statement that the proposed change in the. terms and conditions of the Pool Loan is solely for the benefit of Borrower, and
19 |

If all conditions are met, the SBA servicing center may approve the purchase of the Pool Loan portions by Seller.
Loan Interests purchased pursuant to this paragraph may not be resold unless the Borrower has made all payments as scheduled in the Pool Note for a period of twelve (12) months.
23. Inconsistent Provisions and Caption Headings. Any inconsistency between this Agreement and Title 13, Code of Federal Regulations, shall be resolved in favor of Title 13.
