Borrower shall submit such bids and a time schedule for completing each Capital Replacement to Lender within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of Lender’s written notice.

Disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be made no more frequently than once every Disbursement Period and, except for the final disbursement, no disbursement shall be made in an amount less than the Minimum Disbursement Request Amount. Disbursements shall be made only if the following conditions precedent have been satisfied, as reasonably determined by Lender:

The Capital Replacement has been performed and/or installed on the Property in a good and workmanlike manner with suitable materials (or in the case of a partial disbursement, performed and/or installed on the Property to an acceptable stage) and paid for by Borrower as evidenced by copies of all applicable paid invoices or bills submitted to Lender by Borrower at the time Borrower requests disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Fund.

(ii) No Default. There is no condition, event or act that would constitute a default (with or without notice and/or lapse of time) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Page 4

(iii) Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents are true in all material respects.

(iv) Continuing Compliance. Borrower is in full compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any request or demand by Lender permitted hereby.

(v) No Lien Claim. No lien or claim based on furnishing labor or materials has been filed or asserted against the Property, unless Borrower has properly provided bond or other security against loss in accordance with applicable law.

(vi) Approvals. All licenses, permits, and approvals of governmental authorities required for the Capital Replacement as completed to the applicable stage have been obtained.

(vii) Legal Compliance. The Capital Replacement as completed to the applicable stage does not violate any laws, ordinance, rules or regulations, or building lines or restrictions applicable to the Property.

4. Right to Complete Capital Replacements. If Borrower abandons or fails to proceed diligently to undertake and/or complete any Capital Replacement in a timely fashion or is otherwise in default under this Agreement for 30 days after written notice of such failure by Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Property and take over and cause the completion of such Capital Replacement. However, no such notice or grace period shall apply in the case of such failure which could, in Lender’s judgment, absent immediate exercise by Lender of a right or remedy under this Agreement, result in harm to Lender or impairment of the security given under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. Any contracts entered into or indebtedness incurred upon the exercise of such right may be in the name of Borrower, and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the attorney in fact of Borrower, such appointment being coupled with an interest, to enter into such contracts, incur such obligations, enforce any contracts or agreements made by or on behalf of Borrower (including the prosecution and defense of all actions and proceedings in connection with the Capital Replacement and the payment, settlement or compromise of all bills and claims for materials and work performed in connection with the Capital Replacement) and do any and all things necessary or proper to complete any Capital Replacement including signing Borrower’s name to any contracts and documents as may be deemed necessary by Lender. In no event shall Lender be required to expend its own funds to complete any Capital Replacement, but Lender may, in its sole discretion, advance such funds. Any funds advanced shall be added to the outstanding balance of the Loan, secured by the Security Instrument and payable to Lender by Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Security Instrument pertaining to the protection of Lender’s security and advances made by Lender. Borrower waives any and all

claims it may have against Lender for materials used, work performed or resultant damage to the Property.

5. Inspection. Lender or any representative of Lender may periodically inspect any Capital Replacement in process and upon completion during normal business hours or at any other reasonable time upon reasonable prior written notice to Borrower (except in an emergency, as determined by Lender in its discretion or after an Event of Default, in which event no such prior notice shall be required). Lender shall be entitled to deduct the Inspection Fee from the Replacement Reserve Fund for performing any such inspection. If Lender, in its sole discretion, retains a professional inspection engineer or other qualified third party to inspect any Capital Replacement, Lender also shall be entitled to deduct from the Replacement Reserve Fund an amount sufficient to pay all reasonable fees and expenses charged by such third party inspector.

6. Insufficient Account. If Borrower requests disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Fund for a Capital Replacement in accordance with this Agreement in an amount which exceeds the amount on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Fund, Lender shall disburse to Borrower only the amount on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay all additional amounts required in connection with any such Capital Replacement from Borrower’s own funds.

7. Security Agreement. To secure Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and to further secure Borrower’s obligations under the Note, Security Instrument and other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby conveys, pledges, transfers and grants to Lender a security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the Property Jurisdiction or any other applicable law in and to all money in the Replacement Reserve Fund, as same may increase or decrease from time to time, all interest and dividends thereon and all proceeds thereof.

8. Post Default. If Borrower defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or under the Note, Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, after the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, Lender shall have all remedies available to them under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Property Jurisdiction and under any other applicable law. In addition, Lender may retain all money in the Replacement Reserve Fund, including interest, and in Lender’s discretion, may apply such amounts, without restriction and without any specific order of priority, to the payment of any and all indebtedness or obligations of Borrower set forth in the Note, Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, principal, interest, taxes, insurance, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including those of Lender’s in-house counsel) and disbursements actually incurred and/or repairs to the Property.

9. Termination. If not sooner terminated by written concurrence of the parties, this Agreement shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Loan and all indebtedness incurred in connection therewith and upon such termination, Lender shall pay to Borrower all funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Fund.

10. No Amendment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to amend, modify, alter, change or supersede the terms and provisions of the Note, Security Instrument or any other Loan Document; and, if there is a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and those of the Note, Security Instrument, or any other Loan Document then the terms and provisions of the Note, Security Instrument or such other Loan Document shall control.

11. Release; Indemnity.

(a) Release.

The terms used to designate any of the parties herein shall be deemed to include the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such parties; and the term “Lender” shall also include any lawful owner, holder or pledgee of the Note. Reference herein to “person” or “persons” shall be deemed to include individuals and entities.
