mortgage, assignment or other lien or encumbrance of any kind, of or upon the Project or upon the

A. liens for taxes, assessments and other governmental charges which are not delinquent or
which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted,
against which adequate reserves have been established;
B. liens imposed by law in connection with transactions in the ordinary course of business,
such as liens of mechanics and materialmen for sums not yet due or being contested in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, against which adequate reserves
have been established;

E. those encumbrances set forth on the title commitment previously delivered to the Lender

involuntarily, the Borrower shall immediately cause the same to be released or satisfied in full.
The Borrower recognizes and agrees that the Lender is extending financial accommodations to the
