(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Trustor Operating Lessee or Manager pay, reserve or set aside funds on a monthly basis in amounts sufficient to provide for the payment of all Impositions as and when due (which funds need not be segregated or deposited into a specific fund or account), Beneficiary agrees not to require these deposits unless and until (a) there has occurred an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, the Affiliated Guaranty or the Indemnity Agreement, (b) Trustor no longer owns the Property; or (c) such deposits are required in connection with a securitization or participation of the Loan; or (d) except as and to the extent expressly permitted under Article X, there has been a change in the general partners, stockholders or members of Trustor or in the constituent general partners or controlling shareholders or controlling members of any of the entities comprising Trustor.
