With respect to debt that predates the Loan, principal and interest payments are “mandatory and due”: (i) on the future date upon which they were scheduled to be paid as of the date of origination of the Loan, or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that automatically triggers mandatory prepayments under a contract for indebtedness that ~~the~~ ~~Borrower~~such Loan Party executed prior to the date of origination of the Loan, except that any such prepayments triggered by the incurrence of new debt can only be paid (i) if such prepayments are de minimis, or (ii) under the Facility at the time of origination of the Loan.

For future debt incurred by the ~~Borrower~~Loan Parties in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Facility, principal and interest payments are “mandatory and due” on their scheduled dates or upon the occurrence of an event that automatically triggers mandatory prepayments.

As to repayment of a loan owed to an owner or to an affiliate of ~~the Borrower~~any Loan Party, such repayment shall be allowed provided that the loan is a bona fide loan and repayment is made when mandatory and due. A loan owed to an owner or to an affiliate of ~~the Borrower~~a Loan Party shall be considered “bona fide” if (i) it is a written instrument with a stated interest rate, a stated maturity date, and terms that are at least as favorable to the ~~Borrower~~applicable Loan Party as market terms for similar loans at the time of origination; (ii) such owner or affiliate of the ~~Borrower~~applicable Loan Party has a reasonable expectation of repayment, including that payments on the loan are not deferred; (iii) the debt is enforceable under state law; and (iv) such owner or affiliate of the ~~Borrower~~applicable Loan Party has remedies upon default (e.g., a security interest or position with respect to other creditors).

~~Borrower~~The Loan Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that ~~Lender~~the Lenders may require, in ~~its~~their sole and absolute discretion, additional documentation from ~~Borrower~~the Loan Parties relating to any loan owed to an owner or to an affiliate of the ~~Borrower~~Loan Parties, including, without limitation, promissory notes or other evidence of such debt, as well as affidavits or certifications from ~~Borrower~~the Loan Parties, in order to confirm that such loan is bona fide.

~~(dd)~~ Compliance with Borrower Certification, the Facility and the CARES Act. At all times during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall comply with all other covenants, terms and conditions set forth in the Borrower Certification, the Facility and/or the CARES Act.
