Section 4.1 Compliance with Laws; Use of Proceeds.

Section 4.2 Inspections; Cooperation.
Borrower shall permit representatives of Lender to enter upon the Land during normal business hours subject to the prior notice requirement set forth below, except that entry may be had at any time during an emergency or in connection with the same, to inspect the Improvements and any and all materials to be used in connection with any construction at the Property, including any construction of improvements, to examine all detailed plans and shop drawings and similar materials as well as all books and records of Borrower (regardless of where maintained) and all supporting vouchers and data and to make copies and extracts therefrom and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts pertaining to the Loan and the Improvements with representatives of Borrower. Borrower shall at all times cooperate and use its best efforts to and cause each and every one of its contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers to cooperate with the representatives of Lender in connection with or in aid of the performance of Lender’s functions under this Agreement. Except in the event of an emergency, Lender shall give Borrower at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice by telephone in each instance before entering upon the Land and/or exercising any other rights granted in this Section. The cost of any and all such inspections by Lender or any representative of Lender, including any construction consultant, shall be paid for by Borrower.
Section 4.3 Payment and Performance of Contractual Obligations.
Borrower shall perform in a timely manner all of its obligations under any and all contracts and agreements related to any construction activities at the Property or the maintenance or operation of the Improvements, and Borrower will pay when due all bills for services or labor performed and materials supplied in connection with such construction, maintenance and/or operation. Within sixty (60) days after the filing of any mechanic’s lien or other lien or encumbrance against the Property, Borrower will promptly discharge the same by payment or filing a bond or otherwise as permitted by Law. So long as Lender’s security has been protected by the filing of a bond or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, lien or encumbrance, provided that Borrower does so diligently and without prejudice to Lender or delay in completing construction of any improvements.
Section 4.4 Insurance.
Borrower shall maintain the following insurance at its sole cost and expense:
(a) Insurance against Casualty to the Property under a policy or policies covering such risks as are presently included in “special form” (also known as “all risk”) coverage, including such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism, malicious mischief and acts of terrorism. Such insurance shall name Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Lender, such insurance shall be for the full insurable value of the Property on a replacement cost basis, with a deductible amount, if any, satisfactory to Lender. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage
Page 5
required by this Section by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full insurable value” means one hundred percent (100%) of the actual replacement cost of the Property, including furniture, fixtures and improvements (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items).
(b) Comprehensive (also known as commercial) general liability insurance on an “occurrence” basis against claims for “personal injury” liability and liability for death, bodily injury and damage to property, products and completed operations, in limits satisfactory to Lender with respect to any one occurrence and the aggregate of all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance shall name Lender as an additional insured.
(c) Workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of Borrower in such amount as is required by Law and including employer’s liability insurance, if required by Lender.
(d) During any period of construction of improvements, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, such insurance as may be reasonably required by Lender of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of materials stored at or upon the Property. During any period of other construction upon the Property, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, builder’s risk insurance (non-reporting form) of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of work in place and materials stored at or upon the Property.
(e) If at any time any portion of any structure on the Property is insurable against Casualty by flood and is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, a flood insurance policy on the structure and Borrower owned contents in form and amount acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion but in no amount less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable Law (including any applicable bank regulatory standards or regulations) as such requirements may from time to time be in effect.
(f) Loss of rental value insurance or business interruption insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the projected gross income of the Property and an extended period of indemnity endorsement providing an additional twelve (12) months’ loss of rental value or business interruption insurance after the Property has been restored or until the projected gross income returns to the level that existed prior to the loss, whichever is first to occur.
(g) Such other and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Lender in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Lender in similar transactions including, if required by Lender, boiler and machinery insurance, pollution liability insurance, wind insurance, volcano insurance, and earthquake insurance, so long as any such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums as determined by Lender from time to time in its reasonable discretion.
Each policy of insurance (i) shall be issued by one or more insurance companies each of which must have an A.M. Best Company financial and performance rating of A-IX or better and are qualified or authorized by the Laws of the State to assume the risks covered by such policy, (ii) with respect to the insurance described under the preceding Subsections (a), (d), (e) and (f), shall have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clauses in favor of and entitling Lender without contribution to collect any and all proceeds payable under such insurance, either as sole payee or as joint payee with Borrower, (iii) shall provide that such policy shall not be canceled or modified for nonpayment of premiums without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender, or for any other reason without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender, and (iv) shall provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment. Borrower shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver to Lender acceptable evidence of insurance, such as a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or other evidence satisfactory to Lender reflecting that all required insurance is current and in force. Borrower will immediately give Notice to Lender of any cancellation of, or change in, any insurance policy. Lender shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (A) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (B) the
Page 6
solvency of any insurer, or (C) the payment of losses. Borrower may satisfy any insurance requirement hereunder by providing one or more “blanket” insurance policies, subject to Lender’s approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation provisions.
Section 4.5 Adjustment of Condemnation and Insurance Claims.
Borrower shall give prompt Notice to Lender of any Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened Condemnation for which Borrower receives written notice thereof. Lender is authorized, at its sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation or Casualty, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith. In the event that Borrower is entitled to the receipt of such proceeds to use the same for repair and restoration pursuant to Section 4.6 below and the amount of such Claim does not exceed $1,000,000.00, then Borrower shall be entitled, after prior written notice to Lender, to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise such claim and receive the proceeds thereof, not to exceed $1,000,000.00. Borrower covenants to use any and all such proceeds received by it pursuant hereto to pay for the costs of repair and restoration of the Property and any balance remaining shall be used to prepay the outstanding balance of the Loan. Except as otherwise provided herein, Lender shall have the right to receive all Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom any and all of its Expenses. However, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower is diligently pursuing its rights and remedies with respect to a Claim, Lender will obtain Borrower’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before making proof of loss for or settling or compromising such Claim. Borrower agrees to diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each Claim and to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each Claim subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Lender of any Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, the Property shall have been sold at sheriff’s, trustee’s or other execution sale pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage or a judgment under the Note, Lender shall have the right to receive such funds (a) to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Mortgage shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) to the extent necessary to reimburse Lender for its Expenses. If any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower shall receive the same in trust for Lender. Within ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds, except with respect to a Claim to which Borrower is entitled to receive the Proceeds as aforesaid, Borrower shall deliver such awards or proceeds to Lender in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements or documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer the same to Lender. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Lender, such further instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender to confirm the grant and assignment to Lender of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.
Section 4.6 Utilization of Net Proceeds.
(a) Subject as hereinabove provided in Section 4.5, Net Proceeds must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for the restoration of the Property. Net Proceeds may be utilized for the restoration of the Property only if no Default shall exist and only if in the reasonable judgment of Lender (i) there has been no material adverse change in the financial viability of the Improvements, (ii) the Net Proceeds, together with other funds deposited with Lender for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and specifications approved by Lender, (iii) the restoration can be completed prior to the final maturity of the Loan and prior to the date required by any purchase and sale agreement, and (iv) following restoration, the Property will have a fair market value at least equal to its fair market value immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation. Otherwise, Net Proceeds shall be utilized for payment of the Obligations, in such order as determined by Lender in the exercise of its sole discretion.
(b) If Net Proceeds are to be utilized for the restoration of the Property, the Net Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with Lender for that purpose, must be deposited in a Borrower’s Deposit Account, which shall be an interest-bearing account, with all accrued interest to become part of Borrower’s deposit. Borrower agrees that it shall
Page 7
include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Borrower’s Deposit Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Lender shall have the exclusive right to manage and control all funds in the Borrower’s Deposit Account, but Lender shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Prior to the advance by Lender of any funds so deposited and the commencement of such restoration, Borrower shall take all steps reasonably necessary to avoid the imposition of any mechanics’ liens on the Property or the Improvements. Thereafter, Lender will advance the deposited funds from time to time to Borrower for the payment of costs of restoration of the Property upon presentation of evidence acceptable to Lender that such restoration has been completed satisfactorily and lien-free. If at any time Lender determines that there is a deficiency in the funds available in the Borrower’s Deposit Account to complete the restoration as contemplated, then Borrower will promptly deposit in the Borrower’s Deposit Account additional funds equal to the amount of the deficiency. Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in the Borrower’s Deposit Account. Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in the Borrower’s Deposit Account and all funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, and Lender shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. The Borrower’s Deposit Account may be established and held in such name or names as Lender shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Lender. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender and any officer or agent of Lender its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open the Borrower’s Deposit Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.
Section 4.7 Management.
Borrower at all times shall provide for the competent and responsible management and operation of the Property. At all times, Borrower shall cause the Property to be managed by an Approved Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement first approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All Management Agreements shall be terminable upon thirty (30) days’ written notice without penalty or charge (except for unpaid accrued management fees) and shall be subject to an Assignment and Subordination of Property Management Agreement. Any management contract or contracts affecting the Property must be approved in writing by Lender prior to the execution of the same. The Existing Management Agreements are hereby approved by Lender.

All fiscal year-end Financial Statements of Guarantor shall be audited and certified, without any qualification or exception not acceptable to Lender, by independent certified public accountants acceptable to Lender, and shall contain all reports and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for a fair presentation. All fiscal year-end Financial Statements of Borrower may be prepared by the reporting party. All quarterly Financial Statements may be prepared by the applicable reporting party and shall include a minimum of a balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flow.

Additionally, Borrower will provide Lender at Borrower’s expense with all evidence that Lender may from time to time reasonably request in writing as to compliance with all provisions of the Loan Documents.

Section 4.10 Taxes; Tax Receipts.
Borrower shall pay and discharge all Taxes prior to the date on which penalties are attached thereto unless and to the extent only that such Taxes are contested in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage. If Borrower fails, following written demand, to provide Lender the tax receipts required under the Mortgage, without limiting any other remedies available to Lender, Lender may, at Borrower’s sole expense, obtain and enter into a tax services contract with respect to the Property with a tax reporting agency satisfactory to Lender.

Section 4.11 Lender’s Rights to Pay and Perform.
If after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default that is continuing after any applicable grace or cure periods, Lender, without Notice to or demand upon Borrower, and without waiving or releasing any Obligation or Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrower. Lender may enter upon the Property for that purpose and take all action thereon as Lender considers necessary or appropriate. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any undisbursed Loan proceeds to the satisfaction of the conditions of the Loan Documents, irrespective of the allocation of such Loan proceeds in the Budget. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may pay directly from the proceeds of the Loan all interest bills rendered by Lender in connection with the Loan, and following the occurrence of an Event of Default may make advances directly to the general contractor, the title insurance company, any subcontractor or material supplier, or to any of them jointly. The execution hereof by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the proceeds of the Loan. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances. Each advance shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall satisfy the obligations of Lender hereunder to the extent of the amount of the advance.
Section 4.12 Reimbursement; Interest.
If Lender shall incur any Expenses or pay any Claims by reason of the Loan or the rights and remedies provided under the Loan Documents (regardless of whether or not any of the Loan Documents expressly provide for an indemnification by Borrower against such Claims), Lender’s payment of such Expenses and Claims shall constitute advances to Borrower which shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on demand, together with interest thereon from the date incurred until paid in full at the rate of interest then applicable to the Loan under the terms of the Note. Each advance arising out of the Environmental Agreement shall be unsecured. All other advances shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as fully as if made to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by the party or parties to whom such advance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Mortgage or to recover or collect the Obligations, the provisions of Law governing the recovery of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by this Section.
Section 4.13 Notification by Borrower.

Page 10
with the Loan or other financing of the Property; (c) any failure by Borrower to observe and perform any of the obligations imposed upon the landlord under the Leases; (d) any other Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; or (e) any assertion or allegation that Lender is liable for any act or omission of Borrower or any other Person in connection with the ownership, development, financing, leasing, operation or sale of the Property; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Lender with respect to any Claim arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. The agreements and indemnifications contained in this Section shall apply to Claims arising both before and after the repayment of the Loan and shall survive the repayment of the Loan, any foreclosure or deed, assignment or conveyance in lieu thereof and any other action by Lender to enforce the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

Page 18
(d) Lender may enter into possession of the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Construction of the Improvements (whether or not in accordance with the Plans and Specifications) and to employ watchmen to protect the Property and the Improvements. All sums expended by Lender for such purposes shall be deemed to have been advanced to Borrower under the Note and shall be secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which power is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked, to complete the work in the name of Borrower, and hereby empowers said attorney or attorneys, in the name of Borrower or Lender:
(i) To use any funds of Borrower including any balance which may be held by Lender and any funds (if any) which may remain unadvanced hereunder for the purpose of completing any construction, including any construction of improvements, whether or not in the manner called for in the applicable plans and specifications;
(ii) To make such additions and changes and corrections to any plans and specifications as shall be necessary or desirable in the judgment of Lender to complete any construction, including any construction of improvements;
(iii) To employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be necessary or desirable for said purpose;
(iv) To pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Property, or may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the work or the clearance of title to the Property;

(vii) To file for record, at Borrower’s cost and expense and in Borrower’s name, any notices of completion, notices of cessation of labor, or any other notices that Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may consider necessary or desirable to protect its security;
(viii) To prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any construction at the Property, including any construction of improvements, and to take such actions and to require such performance as Lender may deem necessary; and
(ix) To do any and every act with respect to any such construction which Borrower may do in its own behalf.
(e) Lender may exercise any and all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or at Law, equity or otherwise.

Without limitation of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code, as in effect from time to time), any obligation of Lender to make advances shall automatically terminate, and the unpaid principal amount of the Loan outstanding and all interest and other amounts payable hereunder and under the Note and other Loan Documents shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of Lender.
Page 19
Section 7.2 No Release or Waiver; Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent.
Borrower shall not be relieved of any Obligation by reason of the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or of any other Person to take action to foreclose on the Property under the Mortgage or otherwise to enforce any provision of the Loan Documents, or by reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the Property. No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the happening of an Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. No delay or omission on the part of Lender to exercise any option for acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations, or for foreclosure of the Mortgage following any Event of Default as aforesaid, or any other option granted to Lender hereunder in any one or more instances, or the acceptance by Lender of any partial payment on account of the Obligations shall constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default and each such option shall remain continuously in full force and effect. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided for in the Loan Documents, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by statute. Every right, power and remedy given by the Loan Documents to Lender shall be concurrent and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Borrower or the Property or any part thereof, and every right, power and remedy given by the Loan Documents may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by Lender. All notice and cure periods provided in this Agreement or in any Loan Document shall run concurrently with any notice or cure periods provided by Law.

Upon any failure by Borrower to do so after receipt of written notice thereof, Lender may make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates and other documents for and in the name of Borrower, all at the sole expense of Borrower, and Borrower hereby appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to do so, this appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file any initial financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements deemed necessary or desirable by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests granted in the Mortgage or hereunder, and Borrower ratifies any such filings made by Lender prior to the date hereof. In addition, at any time, and from time to time, upon request by Lender, Borrower will, at Borrower’s expense, provide any and all further instruments, certificates and other documents as may, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to verify Borrower’s identity and background in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Section 8.2 No Warranty by Lender.
By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Borrower or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, including any certificate, Survey, receipt, appraisal or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof and any such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Lender.

Section 8.3 Standard of Conduct of Lender.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall limit the right of Lender to exercise its business judgment or to act, in the context of the granting or withholding of any advance or consent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in a subjective manner, whether or not objectively reasonable under the circumstances, so long as Lender’s exercise of its business judgment or action is made or undertaken in good faith. Borrower and Lender intend by the foregoing to set forth and affirm their entire understanding with respect to the standard pursuant to which Lender’s duties and obligations are to be judged and the parameters within which Lender’s discretion may be exercised hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. As used herein, “good faith” means honesty in fact in the conduct and transaction concerned.
Section 8.4 No Partnership.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed in a manner to create any relationship between Borrower and Lender other than the relationship of borrower and lender and Borrower and Lender shall not be considered partners or co-venturers for any purpose on account of this Agreement.
Section 8.5 Severability.
In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any other respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then and in either of those events, at the option of Lender, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the validity of the remaining Obligations, and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.
Section 8.6 Authorized Signers.
Lender is authorized to rely upon the continuing authority of the Authorized Signers to bind Borrower with respect to all matters pertaining to the Loan and the Loan Documents, including the submission of draw requests and the selection of interest rates. Such authorization may be changed only upon written notice addressed to Lender accompanied by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of the authority of the Person giving such notice. Such notice shall be effective not sooner than five (5) Business Days (as defined in the Note) following receipt thereof by Lender.
Section 8.7 Notices.
All Notices required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the applicable address set forth below (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed) or by facsimile. Any Notice shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile, upon receipt; provided that service of a Notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.

Tax and Insurance Reserve Deposits
1. If required by Lender, on each monthly payment date under the Note, Borrower shall pay to Lender one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount estimated by Lender to pay all installments of Taxes levied against the Property and all insurance premiums for insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under the Loan Documents, in each case coming due during the upcoming twelve (12) month period. Lender reserves the right to periodically adjust the amount of the monthly deposit to account for changes in Taxes from an interim basis to final basis each tax year. Required payments hereunder shall be added together with the regular payments under the Note and with any other sums required under the Loan Documents, all of which shall be paid monthly as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender until the Obligations are paid and performed in full. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, funds paid by Borrower hereunder shall not be or be deemed to be escrow or trust funds. At Lender’s option, such funds may be held in an individual account, consolidated with other like accounts, or commingled with the general funds of Lender. Such funds shall be held in an interest-bearing account in the name of Lender and all interest shall be credited to Borrower. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on such funds paid to or deposited with Lender as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all such funds for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes.

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall pay for the account of Borrower, to the extent funds paid to Lender hereunder are sufficient for such purposes, prior to the delinquency date for such expense, real property Taxes and insurance premiums for which Borrower has provided invoices to Lender in advance. In its sole and absolute discretion, Lender may retain a third party tax lien service to obtain tax certificates or other evidence or estimates of Taxes due or to become due and Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender for the cost of retaining any such service. Any unpaid reimbursements for any tax lien service will be added to the Obligations. Borrower shall ensure Lender’s receipt, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment, of all bills, invoices and statements for all Taxes and insurance premiums to be paid. Lender shall not be responsible for the payment of any invoice if Borrower has not paid to Lender sufficient funds for such item under this Schedule, even if the shortfall results from Lender’s failure to adequately estimate and collect sufficient funds to satisfy such charges. In making any payment for Taxes or insurance hereunder, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any tax lien service or any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any Taxes, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.
3. Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in all funds paid to or deposited with Lender hereunder, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, and Lender shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder.

2. Conveyance and Security Interest. To secure Borrower’s Obligations, Borrower hereby transfers, assigns and transfers to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest, but not its obligations, duties or liabilities for any breach, in, under and to the Swap Contract, any and all amounts received by Borrower in connection therewith or to which Borrower is entitled thereunder, and all proceeds of the foregoing. All amounts payable to Borrower under the Swap Contract shall be paid to Lender and shall be applied to pay interest or other amounts under the Loan.
3. Cross-Default. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if any Event of Default occurs as defined under any Swap Contract as to which Borrower (or its Affiliate) is the Defaulting Party, or if any Termination Event occurs under any Swap Contract as to which Borrower (or its Affiliate) is an Affected Party. As used in this Section, the terms “Defaulting Party,” “Termination Event” and “Affected Party” have the meanings ascribed to them in the Swap Contract.
4. Remedies; Cure Rights. In addition to any and all other remedies to which Lender and Swap Counterparty are entitled at Law or in equity, Swap Counterparty shall have the right, to the extent so provided in any Swap Contract or any Master Agreement relating thereto, (a) to declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event thereunder and to designate an Early Termination Date as defined under the Master Agreement, and (b) to determine net termination amounts in accordance with the Swap Contract and to setoff amounts between Swap Contracts. Lender shall have the right at any time (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of Borrower (or its Affiliate) such action as Lender may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any default under any Swap Contract or to protect the rights of Borrower (or its Affiliate) or Swap Counterparty thereunder; provided, however, that before the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender shall give prior written notice to Borrower before taking any such action. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to exercise, at the election of Lender, any and all rights and remedies of Borrower (or its Affiliate) under the Swap Contract, including making any payments thereunder and consummating any transactions contemplated thereby, and to take any action that Lender may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, in and to the Swap Contract hereby assigned and conveyed, and generally to take any and all such action in relation thereto as Lender shall deem advisable. Lender shall not incur any liability if any action so taken by Lender or on its behalf shall prove to be inadequate or invalid. Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Lender is not hereby assuming any duties or obligations of Borrower (or its Affiliate) to make payments to Swap Counterparty under any Swap Contract or under any other Loan Document. Such payment duties and obligations remain the responsibility of Borrower (or its Affiliate) notwithstanding any language in this Agreement.
Page 40
5. Timing of Interest Rate Periods. At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, Borrower shall elect Interest Periods of one (1) month in duration for all LIBOR Rate Principal. As used herein, the terms “Interest Period” and “LIBOR Rate Principal” have the meanings ascribed to them in the Note. Borrower shall time its rate elections under the Note so that each Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Principal ends on a day when a payment is due from either counterparty under any Swap Contract.
6. Automatic Deduction and Credit.
(a) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, Borrower shall maintain the Checking Account in good standing with Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender and Swap Counterparty a security interest in the Checking Account, and any other accounts and deposit accounts from which Borrower may from time to time authorize Lender to debit payments due on the Loan and the Swap Contracts. Borrower is granting this security interest to Lender and Swap Counterparty for the purpose of securing the Obligations.
(b) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, all monthly payments owed by Borrower under the Note will be automatically deducted on their due dates from the Checking Account. Lender is hereby authorized to apply the amounts so debited to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will not automatically deduct the principal payment at maturity from the Checking Account.
(c) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, all payments owed by Borrower (or its Affiliate) under any Swap Contract will be automatically deducted on their due dates from the Checking Account. The preceding sentence includes Borrower’s authorization for Lender to debit from the Checking Account any monetary obligation owed by Borrower (or its Affiliate) to Swap Counterparty following any Early Termination Date, as defined under the Master Agreement. Swap Counterparty is hereby authorized to apply the amounts so debited to the obligations of Borrower (or its Affiliate) under the applicable Swap Contract.
(d) Lender will debit the Checking Account on the dates the foregoing payments become due; provided, however, that if a due date does not fall on a Banking Day, Lender will debit the Checking Account on the first Banking Day following such due date.
(e) Borrower shall maintain sufficient funds on the dates when Lender enters debits authorized by this Agreement. If there are insufficient funds in the Checking Account on any date when Lender enters any debit authorized by this Agreement, without limiting Lender’s other remedies in such an event, the debit will be reversed in whole or in part, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, and such amount not debited shall be deemed to be unpaid and shall be immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Note and/or the Swap Contract, as applicable.
(f) So long as there is no Event of Default existing under this Agreement or any Swap Contract, Lender will automatically credit the Checking Account for payments owed by Swap Counterparty under the Swap Contract. Lender will credit the Checking Account on the dates the foregoing payments become due; provided, however, that if a due date does not fall on a Banking Day, Lender will credit the Checking Account on the first Banking Day following such due date.

Schedule 8
Financial Covenants
Debt Service Coverage Ratio Covenant/Cash Sweep Provision. Borrower shall maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio in accordance with the following:
Determination Date |
Debt Service Coverage Ratio | |
December 31, 2017 |
1.00 to 1.00 | |
June 30, 2018 |
1.15 to 1.00 | |
June 30, 2019 |
1.20 to 1.00 |
This ratio will be tested on each Determination Date set forth above. In the event Borrower fails to meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio on any given Determination Date, the provisions of clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) below shall apply. Any failure of Borrower to comply with the requirements set forth in such clauses (a) or (b) following the failure to meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for any given Determination Date shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder (not subject to any further grace or cure periods).
(a) In the event that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio measured as of any Determination Date is less than the applicable Debt Service Coverage Ratio set forth on the chart above, the Borrower shall either:
(i) within thirty (30) days after the Certificate Date (as defined in Section 4.8(b)(i)), make a prepayment of principal towards the Loan in accordance with the prepayment provisions of the Note in an amount sufficient to ensure that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as calculated on a pro forma basis taking into account such prepayment) then meets or exceeds the applicable Debt Service Coverage Ratio set forth on the chart above, together with a mutually agreed-upon reduction in the committed amount of the Loan; or
(ii) to the extent Borrower does not satisfy the prepayment condition set forth in clause (a)(i) within such thirty (30) day period, Borrower shall thereafter, for each calendar month commencing with the month after the applicable Determination Date when Borrower failed to meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio until the occurrence of the Cash Sweep Termination Date (defined below), cause to be delivered to Lender 100% of the monthly Excess Cash Flow by depositing such funds directly into a cash collateral account designated by Lender and subject to the provisions set forth below (a “Cash Collateral Account”). Such monthly payments of Excess Cash Flow shall be deposited for each month on or before the 15th day of the succeeding month after the commencement of the cash sweep (the “Sweep Date”). For example, if the Determination Date occurred on June 30, and the cash sweep commenced in July as a result of Borrower’s failure to make a principal payment by July 31, then Excess Cash Flow for July shall be deposited on or before August 15th. During the period when the cash sweep is in effect, the Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or before each Sweep Date, a detailed calculation of the Excess Cash Flow for such month in a form satisfactory to Lender, together with an income statement, operating statement, rent roll, and such other supporting statements, information and documentation that Lender may request to verify the Borrower’s calculation of the Excess Cash Flow.

Borrower hereby grants to Lender, for the purpose of securing all of the Obligations, a security interest in each Cash Collateral Account established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and all funds from time to time held therein.

This Deposit Account Control Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of , 20 , among RRE Xxxxxxxxxx Holdings, LLC (“Company”), Bank of America, N.A. (“Lender”) and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank”) with respect to the following:
RECITALS:
A. Bank has agreed to establish and maintain for Company certain deposit account(s) identified as number(s) (referred to individually and collectively, as the “Account”).
B. Company has assigned to Lender a security interest in the Account and in any checks, automated clearinghouse (“ACH”) transfers, wire transfers, instruments and other payment items (collectively, “Funds”) deposited in the Account.
C. Company and Lender have requested Bank to enter into this Agreement to evidence Lender’s security interest in the Account and to provide for the disposition of the Funds deposited in the Account.
D. Bank is willing to enter into this Agreement for the benefit of Company and Lender pursuant to the terms to and conditions set forth herein.
Accordingly, Company, Lender and Bank agree as follows:
1. Lender’s Control over the Account.
(a) This Agreement evidences Lender’s control over the Account. Notwithstanding any contrary duties owed by Bank to the Company under any other deposit account agreements, terms and conditions or other documentation entered into by and between Bank and the Company governing the Account and any cash management or similar services provided by Bank or an affiliate of Bank in connection with the Account, including without limitation, services in connection with any “Lockbox”, as defined below (collectively, the “Account Related Agreements”), Bank will comply with instructions originated by Lender as set forth herein directing the disposition of Funds in the Account without further consent of the Company. Bank may follow such instructions even if doing so results in the dishonoring by Bank of items presented for payment from the Account or Bank otherwise not complying with any instruction from Company directing the disposition of any Funds in the Account.
(b) Company represents and warrants to Lender and Bank that it has not assigned or granted a security interest in the Account or any Funds deposited in the Account, except to Lender and Bank.
(c) Company will not permit any Account to become subject to any other pledge, assignment, lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind (“Charges”), other than Lender’s security interest referred to herein, Bank’s setoffs and the Charges permitted hereinafter.
(d) Company covenants to Lender that it will not close the Account prior to the termination of this Agreement. Bank shall have no liability in the event Company breaches this covenant to Lender.
Page 49
2. Company Access to the Account. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2 of the Agreement, prior to the Activation Effective Time (as defined below) Bank may honor withdrawal, payment, transfer, or other instructions originated by the Company concerning the disposition of Funds in the Account (collectively, “Company Instructions”). On and after the Activation Effective Time, Bank shall only honor instructions originated by Lender concerning the disposition of Funds in the Account (“Lender Instructions”) without further consent from the Company and Company shall have no right or ability to access, withdraw or transfer Funds from the Account. Except as provided herein, no Lender Instruction may be rescinded or modified without Bank’s consent. Both Lender and Company acknowledge that Bank may, without liability, (i) comply with any Company Instruction or otherwise complete a transaction involving the Account that Bank or an affiliate had started to process before the Activation Effective Time and (ii) commence to solely honor Lender’s Instructions at any time or from time to time after the effective date of this Agreement even if prior to the Activation Effective Time (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirection of any transaction), which actions (under (i) and/or (ii)) shall not, in any way, affect the commencement of the Activation Effective Time. The Account may receive merchant card deposits and chargebacks. Company acknowledges and agrees that upon commencement of the Activation Effective Time, chargebacks may be blocked from debiting the Account.
For purposes hereof, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the “Activation Effective Time” shall commence upon the opening of business on the second Banking Day (as defined below) following the Banking Day on which this Agreement becomes effective; provided, however, that if this Agreement is executed on any day after 12:00 noon, eastern time, this Agreement shall be deemed to be effective on the next Banking Day. A “Banking Day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Bank is or is authorized or required by law to be closed.
Within a reasonable time, after commencement of the Activation Effective Time and continuing on each Banking Day thereafter, Bank shall wire transfer all immediately available Funds in the Account to the account specified below:
Bank Name: |
N/A | |
Bank Address: |
N/A | |
ABA No.: |

N/A | |
Beneficiary’s Name: |

In the event Lender requests in writing a change to the above wire transfer instructions by sending a written notice to Bank in substantially the form of Exhibit A and sent to the location set forth hereunder, any such change requested by Lender shall commence within a reasonable time, but no earlier than two Banking Days, after the opening of business on the second Banking Day following the Banking Day on which such notice is acknowledged by Bank; provided, however, that if such receipt is acknowledged on any day after 12:00 noon, eastern time, the acknowledgement shall be deemed to have occurred on the next Banking Day.
Funds are not available if (i) they are not available pursuant to Bank’s funds availability policy as set forth in the Account Related Agreements or (ii) in the reasonable determination of Bank, (A) they are subject to hold, dispute or a binding order, judgment, decree or injunction or a garnishment, restraining notice or other legal process directing or prohibiting or otherwise restricting, the disposition of the Funds in the Account or (B) the transfer of such Funds would result in Bank failing to comply with a statute, rule or regulation.
3. Returned Items. Lender and Company understand and agree that the face amount (“Returned Item Amount”) of each Returned Item (as defined herein) may be paid by Bank debiting the Account to which the Returned Item was originally credited, without prior notice to Lender or Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Returned Item”
Page 50
means (i) any item deposited to an Account and returned unpaid or otherwise uncollected, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to timeliness of the return or the occurrence or timeliness of any drawee’s notice of non-payment; (ii) any item subject to, a claim against Bank of breach of transfer or presentment warranty under the Uniform Commercial Code (as adopted in the applicable state), Regulation CC (12 C.F.R. §229), clearing house operating rules or NACHA as in effect from time to time; (iii) any ACH entry credited to the Account and returned unpaid or subject to an adjustment entry under applicable clearing house rules, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and without regard to timeliness of the return or adjustment; (iv) any credit to the Account from a merchant card transaction, against which a contractual demand for chargeback has been made; and (v) any credit to the Account made in error and any other adjustments including those due to encoding errors or other items posted to the account in error.
4. Settlement Items. Lender and Company understand and agree that Bank may pay the face amount (“Settlement Item Amount”) of each Settlement Item (as defined herein) by debiting the applicable Account, without prior notice to Lender or Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Settlement Item” means (i) each check or other payment order drawn on or payable against any controlled disbursement account, a Controlled Balance Account (as defined below)or other deposit account at any time linked to any Account by a controlled balance arrangement (each a “Linked Account”), which Bank takes for deposit or value, cashes or exchanges for a cashier’s check or official check in the ordinary course of business prior to the Activation Effective Time, and which is presented for settlement against the Account (after having been presented against the Linked Account) after the Activation Effective Time, (ii) each check or other payment order drawn on or payable against an Account, which, prior to the Activation Effective Time, Bank takes for deposit or value, assures payment pursuant to a banker’s acceptance, cashes or exchanges for a cashier’s check or official check in the ordinary course of business after Bank’s cutoff time for posting, (iii) each ACH credit entry initiated by Bank, as originating depository financial institution, on behalf of Company, as originator, prior to Activation Effective Time, which ACH credit entry settles after Activation Effective Time, and (iv) any other payment order drawn on or payable against an Account, which Bank has paid or funded prior to the Activation Effective Time, and which is first presented for settlement against the Account in the ordinary course of business after the Activation Effective Time. Company and Lender acknowledge and agree that if there are Linked Accounts not subject to this Agreement, that upon commencement of the Activation Effective Time any such Linked Accounts will be de-linked and will no longer transfer balances to or from the Account. “Controlled Balance Account” is a deposit account that is linked to one or more other deposit accounts in order to allow transfers to be made between such accounts on an automated basis, pursuant to the Company’s instructions, in order to maintain a specified balance in one or more of the Linked Accounts, including, without limitation, zero balance arrangements where transfers are made to a subaccount from a master account or from a subaccount to a master account at the end of each Banking Day in order to maintain a zero balance in such subaccount at the end of such Banking Day.
5. Account Related Agreements. This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, the Account Related Agreements. The Account Related Agreements will continue to apply to the Account and cash management or similar services provided by Bank or any affiliate of Bank in connection with the Account to the extent not directly in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement (provided, however, that in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control).
6. Lockboxes. To the extent that any Funds to be deposited to the Account have been received in one or more post office lockboxes maintained for Company by Bank (each a “Lockbox”) and have been or will be processed by Bank for deposit to the Account in accordance with the terms of the applicable Account Related Agreement (the “Remittances”), Company acknowledges that Company has granted to Lender a security interest in all Remittances. Company agrees that after the effective date of this Agreement, Company will not instruct Bank regarding the receipt, processing or deposit of Remittances nor will it attempt to change or redirect the items deposited in the Lockbox. Company and Lender acknowledge and agree that Bank’s operation of each Lockbox, and the receipt, retrieval, processing and deposit of Remittances, will at all times be governed by Bank’s Account Related Agreements.
Page 51
7. Bank Subordination and Permitted Debits. Bank agrees that, after the Activation Effective Time, Bank shall not offset, charge, deduct, debit or otherwise withdraw funds from the Account, except as permitted by this Section 7, until Bank has been advised in writing by Lender that this Agreement has been terminated.

(c) any Settlement Item Amounts; and

In no event will Bank be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits.
(c) Bank will be excused from any failure to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, acts of terrorism, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or negligence or default of Company or Lender or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any of Bank’s guidelines or policies, or rule or regulation of any governmental authority.
