this Agreement as Exhibit C, and provided that Borrower is in full compliance with all the applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, Lender shall make disbursements from the Repair Escrow Fund for
payment or reimbursement of the actual costs of the Repairs. Borrower must sign the Borrower’s Disbursement Request and Borrower must include with its Disbursement Request a report setting out the progress of the Repairs and any other reports
or information relating to the construction of the Repairs that may be reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower must include with each Disbursement Request copies of any applicable invoices and/or bills and appropriate lien waivers for the prior
period for which disbursement was made, executed by all contractors and suppliers supplying labor or materials for the Repairs. Unless waived by Lender in writing, Borrower must also include a report prepared by the professional engineer employed by
Lender as to the status of the Repairs. Except for the final Disbursement Request, no Disbursement Request shall be for an amount less than the Minimum Disbursement Request Amount. |

required by Section 3 above, the following: |
| | (a) | Contractor’s Certificate. A certificate signed by each 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 and that the portion of the Repairs provided by such contractor or supplier has been fully completed in accordance with the plans
and specifications (if any) provided to it by Borrower and that such portion of the Repairs is in compliance with all applicable building codes and other rules and regulations promulgated by applicable regulatory or governmental authorities;
|
| | (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 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 money in the Repair Escrow Fund is sufficient to make payment of the full
amount which might in any event be payable in order to satisfy such claim or claims. If required by Lender, Borrower also shall certify to Lender that such portion of the Repairs is in compliance with all applicable zoning ordinances;
|
PAGE 3
| | (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 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. |
| 5. | Indirect and Excess Disbursements. Lender, in its sole judgment, is authorized to hold, use and disburse from 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
Section 5, shall elect to pay any portion of the money in 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. |
| 6. | Schedule of Work. All disbursements from the Repair Escrow Fund shall be limited to the costs of those items set forth on the Schedule of Work attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit “B”. |

upon the Property and no materials or equipment have been or will be delivered to or upon the Property. In the event that any work of any kind has been commenced or performed upon the Property, or in the event that any materials or equipment have
been ordered or delivered to or upon the Property, then (i) prior to the execution of the Security Instrument the Borrower shall fully disclose in writing to the title insurance company issuing the mortgagee title insurance policy insuring the
lien of the Security Instrument that work has been commenced or performed on the Property, or materials or equipment have been ordered or delivered to or upon the Property, (ii) prior to the execution of the Security Instrument Borrower shall

|
| | (d) | Inspections. Borrower will permit Lender or any person designated by Lender (including without limitation a professional inspection 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 shall be entitled
to deduct from the Repair Escrow Fund reasonable fees for performing any such inspections and/or an amount sufficient to reimburse Lender for all fees and expenses charged by any professional inspection engineer employed by Lender in connection with
any such inspection. 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

| | (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, or any other arrangement wherein title to such Repairs is retained or subjected to a purchase money security interest, or the right is reserved or accrues to anyone to remove or repossess any such
Repairs, or to consider them as personal property. |
| 8. | Lien Protection. Borrower shall promptly pay or cause to be paid, when due, all costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with the construction and completion of the
Repairs, and shall keep the Property 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

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 public liability insurance and other insurance required under applicable law in connection with any of the Repairs. All such policies shall be in form and amount satisfactory to Lender. All such
policies that can be endorsed with standard mortgage clauses making losses payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. The originals of such policies shall be deposited with Lender. |
| 11. | Use of Repair Escrow Fund. Borrower will accept disbursements from the Repair Escrow Fund in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and will use, or cause to be
used, each such disbursement solely to pay for materials, labor and services, or to pay costs and expenses for which such disbursement is requested. |
| 12. | Conditions Precedent. Lender shall not be obligated to make any disbursement from the Repair Escrow Fund to or for the benefit of Borrower unless at the time of each
Disbursement Request all of the following conditions prevail: |
| | (a) | No Default. There shall exist 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. |
| | (b) | Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the Loan Documents are true. |
| | (c) | Continuing Compliance. Borrower shall be in full compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any request or demand by Lender permitted
hereby. |
| | (d) | 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. |
| | (e) | Approvals. All licenses, permits, and approvals of governmental authorities required for the Repairs as completed to the applicable stage have been obtained.
|
| | (f) | Legal Compliance. The Repairs as completed to the applicable stage do not violate any laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, or building lines or restrictions applicable to
the Property. |
| 13. | Right to Complete Repairs. If Borrower abandons or fails to proceed diligently with the Repairs or otherwise is in default under this Agreement, Lender shall
have the right (but not
|
PAGE 6
| |
the obligation) to enter upon the Property and take over and cause the completion of the Repairs. 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 Repairs and the payment, settlement, or compromise of all claims for materials and work
performed in connection with the Repairs) and do any and all things necessary or proper to complete the Repairs 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 the Repairs, but Lender may, in Lender’s sole discretion, advance such funds. Any funds advanced shall be added to the outstanding balance of the Note, 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.
|
| 14. | Insufficient Account. If Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that the money in the Repair Escrow Fund is insufficient to pay for the Repairs, Lender shall so
notify Borrower, in writing, and as soon as possible (but in no event later than twenty (20) days after such notice) Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount, in cash, equal to such deficiency, which amount shall be placed in the Repair Escrow
Fund by Lender. |
| 15. | 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 and other applicable laws in and to all money in the Repair Escrow Fund as such
may increase or decrease from time to time and all interest and dividends thereon and all proceeds thereof. |
| 16. | 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, 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 laws and, in addition, may retain all moneys in the Repair Escrow 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 other Loan
Documents, including, but not limited to, principal, interest, taxes, insurance, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and/or repairs to the Property. |
| 17. | Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the completion of the Repairs in accordance with this Agreement and Lender’s satisfaction, and the full
disbursement by Lender of the Repair Escrow Fund. In the event there are funds remaining in the Repair Escrow Fund after the Repairs have been completed in accordance with this Agreement,
|
PAGE 7
| |
and provided no default by Borrower exists under this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents, such funds remaining in the Repair Escrow Fund shall be
refunded by Lender to the Borrower.
|
| 18. | 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 shall exist a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and those of the Note, Security Instrument or other Loan Documents, then the terms and provisions of the Note, Security Instrument and
other Loan Documents shall control. |
| | (a) | Release. Borrower covenants and agrees that, in performing any of its duties under this Agreement, none of Lender, and Loan Servicer or any of their respective agents or
employees, shall be liable for any losses, costs or damages which may be incurred by any of them as a result thereof, except that no party will be released from liability for any losses, costs or damages arising out of the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of such party. |
| | (b) | Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender, Loan Servicer, and their respective agents and employees, against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which may be imposed or incurred by any of them in connection with this Agreement, except that no such party will be indemnified from any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such party. |
| 20. | Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Property Jurisdiction. |
| 21. | Successors and Assigns. Lender may assign its rights and interests under this Agreement in whole or in part and upon any such assignment, all the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of such assignee to the extent so assigned. 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. Borrower may not assign its rights,
interests, or obligations under this Agreement without first obtaining Lender’s prior written consent. |
| 22. | Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that Lender shall engage the services of an attorney at law to enforce the provisions of this Agreement against Borrower, then Borrower
shall pay all costs of such enforcement, including any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including those of Lender’s in-house counsel) actually incurred. |
PAGE 8
| 23. | Remedies Cumulative. In the event of Borrower’s default under this Agreement, Lender may exercise all or any one or more of its rights and remedies available under this
Agreement, at law or in equity. Such rights and remedies shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be enforced separately, successively or together, and Lender’s exercise of any particular right or remedy shall not in any way prevent Lender
from exercising any other right or remedy available to Lender. Lender may exercise any such remedies from time to time as often as may be deemed necessary by Lender. |
| 24. | Determinations by Lender. In any instance where the consent or approval of Lender may be given or is required, or where any determination, judgment or decision is to be
rendered by Lender under this Agreement, the granting, withholding or denial of such consent or approval and the rendering of such determination, judgment or decision shall be made or exercised by Lender (or its designated representative) at its
sole and exclusive option and in its sole and absolute discretion. |
| 25. | Completion of Repairs. Lender’s disbursement of moneys in the Repair Escrow Fund or other acknowledgment of completion of any Repair in a manner satisfactory to Lender
shall not be deemed a certification by Lender that the Repair has been completed in accordance with applicable building, zoning or other codes, ordinances, statutes, laws, regulations or requirements of any governmental authority or agency. Borrower
shall at all times have the sole responsibility for insuring that all Repairs are completed in accordance with all such governmental requirements. |
| 26. | No Agency or Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute Lender as a joint venturer, partner or agent of Borrower, or render Lender liable for any
debts, obligations, acts, omissions, representations or contracts of Borrower. |
| 27. | Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior,
contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Neither this Agreement nor any of its provisions may be waived, modified, amended, discharged, or terminated except in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of the waiver, modification, amendment,
discharge, or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in that writing; provided, however, that in the event of a Transfer requiring Lender’s consent under the terms of the Security Instrument, any one or more, or all, of
the Modifications to Agreement set forth in Exhibit “E” (if any) may be modified or rendered void by Lender at Lender’s option by notice to Borrower/transferee. |
