Request shall be signed by Borrower, and Borrower shall include with its

an amount less than the Minimum Disbursement Request Amount. Lender may deduct
from each disbursement its actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in processing
the disbursement, including but not limited to any out-of-pocket expenses for
engineering fees described in Section 7(d).
4. Reporting Requirements; Completion. Prior to receiving the final
disbursement from the Repair Escrow Fund, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, in
addition to the information required by Paragraph 3 above, the following:

major contractor and supplier of materials, as reasonably determined by Lender,
engaged to provide labor or materials for the Repairs to the effect that such
contractor or supplier has been paid in full for all work completed;
(b) Borrower's Certificate. A certificate signed by Borrower to
the effect that the Repairs have been fully paid for, that all money disbursed
hereunder has been used for the Repairs and no claim or claims exist against the
Borrower or against the Property or Improvements out of which a lien based on
furnishing labor or material exists or might ripen. Borrower may except from
the certificate described in the preceding sentence any claim or claims that
Borrower intends to contest, provided that any such claim or claims are
described in Borrower's certificate and Borrower certifies to Lender that the

by Lender, Borrower also shall certify to Lender that such portion of the
Repairs is in compliance with all applicable zoning ordinances;
(c) Engineer's Certificate. A certificate signed by the
professional engineer employed by Lender to the effect that the Repairs have
been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with the Schedule
of Work and all applicable building codes, zoning ordinances and other building
rules and regulations promulgated by applicable regulatory or governmental
authorities; and
(d) Other Certificates. Any other certificates of approval,
acceptance or compliance required by Lender from or by the city, county, state
or federal governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and
the Repairs if such authority customarily issues such certificates.
5. Indirect and Excess Disbursements. If Borrower abandons or fails to
proceed diligently with the Repairs or otherwise is in default under this
Agreement, Lender, in its sole judgment, is authorized to hold, use and disburse
the Repair Escrow Fund to pay any and all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever
and howsoever incurred or required in connection with the construction and
completion of the Repairs, or in the payment or performance of any obligation of
Borrower to Lender. If Lender, for purposes specified in this Paragraph 5,
shall elect to pay any portion of the Repair Escrow Fund to parties other than
Borrower, then Lender may do so, at any time and from time to time, and the
amount of advances to which Borrower shall be entitled under this Agreement
shall be correspondingly reduced.

shall be limited to the costs of those items set forth on the Schedule of Work

Security Instrument, no work of any kind has been or will be commenced or
performed upon the Property and no materials or equipment have been or will be
delivered to or upon the Property.
(b) Construction. Borrower will commence the Repairs as soon as
practicable after the date of this Agreement and will diligently proceed with
and complete the Repairs on or before the Completion Date in a workmanlike
manner and in accordance with the Schedule of Work, subject to delays caused by
circumstances not within the Borrower's reasonable control, good building
practices and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.
(c) Changes in Schedule of Work . Without the prior written
consent of Lender, Borrower will make no departures from or alterations to the
Schedule of Work.

engineer) and any interested governmental authority, at any time and from time
to time, to inspect the Repairs and Improvements and to examine and copy all of
Borrower's books and records and all contracts and bills pertaining to the
Repairs and Improvements. Lender may deduct from the Repair Escrow Fund
Lender's actual out-of-pocket costs for expenses charged by any professional
inspection engineer employed by Lender in connection with any such inspection,
which are customarily charged by prudent institutional lenders originating loans
on properties similar in type, age and character to the Property. Borrower
agrees to cause the replacement of any material or work that is defective,
unworkmanlike, does not comply with any applicable law, ordinance, rule or
regulation, or does not comply with the requirements of this Agreement, as
determined by Lender. Prior to and as a condition of the final disbursement of
funds from the Repair Escrow Fund, Lender shall inspect or cause to be inspected
the Repairs and the Improvements to determine that all Repairs, including but
not limited to interior and exterior repairs have been completed in a manner
acceptable to Lender.
(e) Purchases. Without the prior written consent of Lender, no
materials, machinery, equipment, fixtures or any other part of the Repairs shall
be purchased or installed under conditional sale contracts or lease agreements,

property.

when due, all costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with the
construction and completion of the Repairs, and shall keep the Property and
Improvements free and clear of any and all liens other than the lien of the
Security Instrument and any other junior lien which may be consented to by
Lender.
9. Adverse Claims. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender in writing of
any litigation, liens, or claims affecting the Property and of all complaints
and charges made by any governmental authority or any governmental department,
bureau, commission or agency exercising supervision or control over Borrower or
its business, which may delay or adversely affect the Repairs.
10.Compliance with Laws; Insurance Requirements.
(a) Compliance Laws. All Repairs shall comply with all
applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance
requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special
use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance
underwriters.
(b) Insurance Requirements. In addition to any insurance
required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be
provided workers' compensation, builder's risk (if required by Lender), and

amount satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with
standard mortgage clauses making losses payable to Lender or its assigns shall
be so endorsed. Copies of policies shall be deposited with Lender.
