“BPO Reconciliation Process” means, in respect of any Property, the process pursuant to which a BPO Determined Value is adjusted in accordance with the terms hereof. A BPO Determined Value may be adjusted if the “as is” value presented in any Broker Price Opinion for a Property is not reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Majority Lenders or the Borrower Representative, and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, as applicable, notify the Borrower Representative thereof, in the case of an objection by the Majority Lenders, in accordance with Section 10.22 or the Borrower Representative notifies the Administrative Agent of its objection to the BPO Determined Value, in the case of an objection by the Borrower Representative. Any such objection shall be given by written notice by no later than the earlier of (x) ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the related Broker Price Opinion or (y) two (2) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date of the related Loan in the case of a Broker Price Opinion for a Pending Advance Property.

(iii)            The Calculation Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (or, if the Calculation Agent and the Administrative Agent are the same Person, shall be deemed to have delivered), within two (2) Business Days of receipt of an Initial Borrowing Request, a Preliminary Report setting forth the results of any applicable calculations required in connection with such Initial Borrowing Request. If no calculation exceptions are identified in such Preliminary Report, and no modifications of such Initial Borrowing Request are requested by (x) the Diligence Agent to reflect the results of its diligence review or (y) the Administrative Agent or the Calculation Agent, such Initial Borrowing Request shall constitute a Final Borrowing Request and such Preliminary Report shall constitute a Final Report. If exceptions are identified in such Preliminary Report, or modifications are requested by the Diligence Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Calculation Agent because the initial Borrowing Request is incomplete or contains miscalculations or other errors, the Borrower Representative shall submit a Modified Borrowing Request reflecting such requested modifications and the corrections of such exceptions to the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent, and the Diligence Agent, and the Calculation Agent shall generate a Modified Report based on such Modified Borrowing Request. If no calculation exceptions are identified in such Modified Report and no incompletions, miscalculations or other errors are identified in the Modified Borrowing Request, such Modified Borrowing Request shall constitute a Final Borrowing Request and such Modified Report shall constitute a Final Report. To the extent exceptions are identified in such Modified Report, the foregoing process shall be repeated until a Final Report is obtained. The Calculation Agent shall provide the Final Report relating to a Final Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative on the same Business Day such Final Report is generated; provided, if such Final Report is generated after 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, the Calculation Agent shall not be obligated to provide such Final Report to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative until the next Business Day. Promptly after its receipt of a Final Borrowing Request and by no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver the Final Borrowing Request to each Lender, together with the Diligence Agent Certification and the Final Report described above. By no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide written instructions for the disbursement of funds to the Paying Agent.

(iv)            Upon receipt of an Initial Borrowing Request for Property Loans, the Administrative Agent shall request that the Diligence Agent confirm that (A) the Property File in respect of each Pending Advance Property that is subject to the related Borrowing Request has been reviewed and that there is no Deficiency with respect to such Property File, (B) the due diligence review in respect of each such Pending Advance Property that is subject of the related Borrowing Request has been completed, including confirmation by the Diligence Agent that it has reviewed the documentation required to be included in the Property File for each Pending Advance Property that is specified in items 3 through 5 of Schedule I and determined that the Eligible Property criteria set forth in items 1 and 2 of Schedule I have been satisfied with respect to each such Pending Advance Property, (C) Broker Price Opinions and inspections for each of the Pending Advance Properties that are the subject of the related Borrowing Request have been ordered and satisfactorily completed, all at the Borrowers’ expense and (D) the BPO Values and Scheduled Renovation Work, if applicable, with respect to each Pending Advance Property that is subject to the related Borrowing Request have been determined. The Administrative Agent shall instruct the Diligence Agent to provide copies of each Broker Price Opinion to the Borrower Representative.

(v)            Upon receipt of an Initial Borrowing Request for Renovation Loans, the Administrative Agent shall request that the Diligence Agent confirm that (A) the Property File in respect of each Pending Renovation Advance Property that is subject to the related Borrowing Request has been reviewed and that there is no Deficiency with respect to such Property File, (B) the Completion Requirements in respect of each such Pending Renovation Advance Property are satisfied, (C) the due diligence review in respect of each such Pending Renovation Advance Property that is subject of the related Borrowing Request has been completed (it being understood and agreed that such due diligence review will be limited to matters necessary to determine whether such Pending Renovation Advance Property has satisfied the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of Stabilized Property), and (D) inspections for each of the Pending Renovation Advance Properties that are the subject of the related Borrowing Request, to the extent required under Section 3.03(g), have been ordered and satisfactorily completed, all at the Borrowers’ expense.

(vi)            It is understood and agreed that any modifications to any Initial Borrowing Request based on the findings of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent or the Diligence Agent (including any modifications resulting from the BPO Reconciliation Process) following the review process set forth in this Section 2.02(a) may cause delays with respect to the occurrence of a proposed Borrowing Date and neither the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent nor the Diligence Agent shall have any liability relating in any way to such delay.

(b)            Lender’s Commitment. The obligations of any Lender to make Loans hereunder are several from the obligations of any other Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make Loans hereunder shall not release the obligations of any other Lender to make Loans hereunder, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan hereunder.

(c)            Disbursement of Funds. On each Borrowing Date, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent specified in this Agreement, each Lender shall remit its share of the aggregate amount of the Loans requested by the Borrowers to the Disbursement Account (or any other account designated in writing by the Administrative Agent to such Lender) by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) by wire transfer of same day funds. Upon receipt of such funds, the Paying Agent, in accordance with the written instruction of the Administrative Agent (which may be in electronic form) received no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to such Borrowing Date, shall remit such funds by wire transfer of same day funds (i) to the Administrative Agent in the amount of any unpaid fees, costs or expenses of the Administrative Agent that are then due and payable, (ii) to the Diligence Agent, in the amount of any unpaid fees, costs or expenses of the Diligence Agent that are then due and payable, (iii) to the Reserve Accounts in the amount of the Upfront Reserves with respect to the Pending Advance Properties and (iv) the balance of such funds to the accounts specified in such related Borrowing Request by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date, to the extent it has received such funds from the Lenders no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date. Funds received by the Paying Agent from any Lender after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day may, at the discretion of the Paying Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

SECTION 2.03. [Reserved]

SECTION 2.04. Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)            Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrowers and the Calculation Agent of the effectiveness of any such Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(b)            Alternate Rate Transition Event. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.04, each Loan shall be a Term SOFR Loan and bear interest at the Term SOFR Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole and absolute discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers and each other party hereto absent manifest error) that one or more Benchmark Transition Events shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall determine the corresponding Benchmark Replacement Date in accordance with the definition thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall, at any time after the Benchmark Replacement Date, have the sole and exclusive right at its election, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, to convert the Loans from Term SOFR Loans to Alternate Rate Loans based on the applicable Benchmark Replacement selected by the Administrative Agent as provided in the definition thereof, or if the Loans had previously been converted to Alternate Rate Loans based upon a Benchmark Replacement, to Alternate Rate Loans based on the applicable alternative Benchmark Replacement selected by the Administrative Agent as provided in the definition thereof, provided in each case that such conversion shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) at the time of conversion, such applicable Benchmark Replacement is a floating rate index that is then commonly used by the Administrative Agent in its floating rate single family rental real estate loans originated and held on its balance sheet as an alternative to the then-current Benchmark, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole but good faith discretion, and (B) such applicable Benchmark Replacement is administratively and commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent, each Lender to implement, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole but good faith discretion. In the event the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied and the Loans are converted to Alternate Rate Loans as provided above, the Loans shall bear interest at the applicable Alternate Rate effective as of the first day on which the Loans are converted to the applicable Alternate Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify in writing the Borrowers and the Calculation Agent of the conversion of the Loans to the applicable Alternate Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Borrower have the right to convert (x) any Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan or (y) any Alternate Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon the then-current Benchmark Replacement to an alternative Alternate Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon any alternative Benchmark Replacement.

(c)            Conversion to Prime Rate Loans. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole and absolute discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers and each other party hereto absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be ascertained as provided in the definition of Term SOFR as set forth herein, or that the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain Term SOFR Loans as contemplated hereunder, or Term SOFR would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that Borrowers may by law pay, and the Loans have not previously been converted to Alternate Rate Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b) above, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion elect to give notice thereof to the Borrowers (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) and the Calculation Agent. If such notice is given, the Term SOFR Loans shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Settlement Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law, at the Administrative Agent’s option (in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion), to Prime Rate Loans bearing interest at the Prime Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrowers have the right to convert any Term SOFR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan.

(d)            Reversion from Prime Rate to Term SOFR. If, pursuant to Section 2.04(c), the Loans have been converted to Prime Rate Loans and the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers and each other party hereto absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable and Term SOFR can be determined as provided in the definition of Term SOFR as set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrowers (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) and the Calculation Agent prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. Upon the giving of such notice, the Loans shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Settlement Period, to Term SOFR Loans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrowers have the right to convert any Prime Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or any Term SOFR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(e)            Unavailability of Alternate Index Rate. If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04(b), the Loans have been converted to Alternate Rate Loans but thereafter the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers and each other party hereto absent manifest error) that the applicable Alternate Index Rate cannot be ascertained, or that the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain Alternate Rate Loans as contemplated hereunder, or the applicable Alternate Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that Borrowers may by law pay, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to give notice thereof to Borrowers (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) and the Calculation Agent prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Alternate Rate Loans shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Settlement Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law, to Prime Rate Loans bearing interest at the Prime Rate.

(f)            Conversion from Prime Rate to Alternate Rate. If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.04, the Loans have been converted to Prime Rate Loans and thereafter the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole but good faith discretion that Term SOFR has been succeeded by a Benchmark Replacement and such Benchmark Replacement can be determined, then the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, to convert the Loans from Prime Rate Loans to Alternate Rate Loans in accordance with, and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in, the provisions of Section 2.04(b) above, and the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrowers (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) and the Calculation Agent prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date, and if such notice is given, the Loans shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Settlement Period, to Alternate Rate Loans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrowers have the right to elect to convert any Alternate Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or any Prime Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan

(g)            Costs of Conversion. Borrowers hereby agree to promptly pay to each Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate each Lender for any costs incurred by each Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by each Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Term SOFR Loans (or Alternate Rate Loans) hereunder. Each Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h)            Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrowers or any other party to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrowers and the Calculation Agent of the effectiveness of any such Conforming Changes.

(i)            Binding Effect. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04 or Section 5.03, including, but not limited to, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, the necessity and amount of any spread adjustment, any Conforming Changes, any replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from Borrowers.

(j)            No Obligation of Calculation Agent or Paying Agent. In no event shall the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent have any obligation or liability with respect to (i) monitoring, determining or verifying the unavailability or cessation of Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark Replacement) or the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) selecting, determining or designating any Benchmark Replacement or Alternate Index Rate, or determining whether any conditions to the designation of any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date have been satisfied, (iii) selecting, determining or designating any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, or (iv) determining whether or what Conforming Changes are necessary in connection with any of the foregoing (except to the extent the Calculation Agent may object to any such Conforming Changes on the basis that such Conforming Changes are not operationally feasible for the Calculation Agent).

SECTION 2.05. Interest; Fees. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the Loans funded by each Lender at the applicable Interest Rate; provided, that following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the outstanding Obligations shall accrue interest at the Default Rate. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate which remains unpaid on any Monthly Payment Date shall be added to the outstanding Obligations and shall itself accrue interest at the Interest Rate. On each Monthly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall pay to each Lender all accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to the Loans for the preceding Settlement Period pursuant to Section 2.07 of this Agreement. All payments of Interest shall be made out of Collections or such other funds available to the Borrowers.

(b)            Unused Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused fee of three-eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum on the daily average unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment during each Settlement Period; provided, that if at any time on or after the date immediately succeeding the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date the daily average unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment during such period is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused fee of five-eighths of one percent (0.625%) per annum on the daily average unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment during such period. Accrued unused fees in respect of each Settlement Period shall be payable on each Monthly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date (such fees, the “Unused Fee”).

(c)            Minimum Yield Fee. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to Section 2.08) or (ii) a termination of Commitments, the Borrowers agree to pay to each Lender an additional fee, if any, equal to the positive amount (if any) by which (A) the result of (1) the highest amount of the Aggregate Commitment while this Agreement is outstanding multiplied by Term SOFR, assuming that Term SOFR is equal to 0.25% multiplied by (2) nine (9), exceeds (B) the total amount of interest and fees paid under this Agreement and the Fee Letter (such fees, the “Minimum Yield Fee”). The payment of any Minimum Yield Fee shall be due no earlier than five (5) Business Days after the Borrower Representative’s receipt of written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, which written notice shall include a calculation of the Minimum Yield Fee.

(d)            Additional Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay the additional fees described in the Fee Letter.

SECTION 2.06. Principal Payments.

(a)            Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may, at their option, prepay on any Business Day all or any portion of any Loan upon prior written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent (with a copy to each Lender) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such payment. Each such notice shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the prepayment to be made on the Loans and (ii) the Business Day on which the Borrowers will make such prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to $1,000,000 and shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.06(c). Each such prepayment of the Loans to the Lenders must be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid Interest through, but not including, the date of repayment on the amount prepaid and any other amounts (including amounts payable under Section 2.05 and Section 2.12) due from the Borrowers hereunder in respect of such prepayment.

(b)            Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)            Loan to Value Deficiency. If as of any date of determination, the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance with respect to Stabilized Properties exceeds 72.5% of the BPO Value of the Stabilized Properties as of such date or the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance with respect to Non-Stabilized Properties exceeds 72.5% of the BPO Value of the Non-Stabilized Properties as of such date, then the Borrowers shall prepay the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance in part or in whole, such that after giving effect to such prepayment the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance is equal to or less than such sum, and such prepayment shall be made (subject to clause (x) below) by the Borrowers no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following such date of determination.

(vi)            Refinancing; Transfer. If at any time (x) a Borrower Refinances any Financed Property or (y) any Financed Property is Transferred to a third party, then, in either case, the Borrowers shall, no later than the close of business on the day on which the proceeds are disbursed, give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent and pay the applicable Release Amount to the Debt Service Account with respect to such Financed Property; provided that, with respect to any transfer to any TRS Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, a Release Amount shall not be payable under this clause (vi) until a Refinancing or further Transfer by such TRS Borrower occurs.

(vii)            Interest and Fees on Amounts Prepaid. Concurrently with each prepayment under this Section 2.06, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders all accrued but unpaid Interest on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, the date of prepayment and any Fees payable with respect to such prepayment.

(viii)            Payment from Collection Account. If requested by the Borrower Representative or if the Borrowers do not otherwise make a payment required by Section 2.06 in accordance with Section 2.06 and Section 2.09, the Administrative Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrower Representative, collect any prepayment required under this Section 2.06 by causing (upon written instruction to) the Paying Agent to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders from the Collection Account on the date such prepayment is payable hereunder.

(x)            Capital Call to Satisfy Prepayment. To the extent that funds to make any prepayment required by Section 2.05(b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (v) are not readily available to Borrower, or to any Sponsor and cannot be immediately contributed by such Sponsor to Borrowers for such purpose and it is necessary for any Sponsor to issue one or more capital calls in order to contribute to Borrowers the necessary funds for such purpose, such prepayment shall be remitted to the Paying Agent within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such capital calls (provided that, if this clause (y) is applicable, the Borrowers shall (1) notify the Administrative Agent and Lenders that a capital call will be required within two (2) Business Days following the date of determination, (2) cause such Sponsor to issue capital calls, within two (2) Business Days following the date of determination, in an amount equal to or greater than the amount required to make such prepayment, (3) deliver to the Administrative Agent and Lenders copies of the notices of such capital calls simultaneously with the delivery of such notices by such Sponsor to its investors, and (4) make the required prepayment promptly after the related capital contributions are received by such Sponsor).

(b)            Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to each Monthly Payment Date, the Borrowers shall cause the Borrower Representative to prepare and deliver to the Calculation Agent and the Administrative Agent a Monthly Borrower Report. Upon receipt of such Monthly Borrower Report, the Calculation Agent shall review the substance thereof and verify any applicable calculations contained therein as required under this Agreement and shall prepare and deliver a Monthly Payment Report to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders (subject to Section 10.22)) two (2) Business Days prior to the related Monthly Payment Date. Upon the Administrative Agent’s written approval of each such Monthly Payment Report, the Administrative Agent will forward each such Monthly Payment Report to the Paying Agent (with a copy to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders (subject to Section 10.22)) no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the related Monthly Payment Date and instruct the Paying Agent in writing to transfer the funds in the Collection Account in accordance with such Monthly Payment Report in the manner set forth in Section 2.07(c).

(B)            if as of a Monthly Payment Date, no Cash Management Trigger Condition exists:

(d)            Subject to Section 2.18, funds on deposit in the Collection Account and Reserve Accounts from time to time may be invested in Permitted Investments. Each such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the next Monthly Payment Date (or, with respect to any Permitted Investment managed by the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate, on such Monthly Payment Date) and shall be held to maturity. Each investment instruction by the Borrower Representative, which may be a standing instruction, shall designate specific types of Permitted Investments (and the terms thereof) and shall certify that such investments constitute Permitted Investments that will mature at the time specified in the preceding sentence. Absent the written instruction of the Borrower Representative, the funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and the Reserve Accounts shall remain uninvested, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 6.11(b). Earnings on any such Permitted Investment shall be retained in the Collection Account and shall constitute Collections and be applied in accordance with Section 2.07(c).

The Collection Account and each Reserve Account shall be owned by each Borrower in proportion to its interest in funds on deposit therein. Each Borrower shall deliver to the U.S. Withholding Agent, on or before the Closing Date, and at such other times as the U.S. Withholding Agent may reasonably request, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, and, to the extent such Borrower is legally entitled to do so, such other properly completed and executed forms, certifications, and documentation as is required by law or regulation to permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In the event any such IRS form, certification or other documentation expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Borrower shall promptly update and provide such form, certificate or other documentation to the U.S. Withholding Agent or promptly notify the U.S. Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Computershare, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as U.S. Withholding Agent, shall have no liability to any Borrower or any other Person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Collection Account or any Reserve Account pursuant to applicable law arising from the failure of such Borrower to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph.

(e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Borrowers’ obligations with respect to the payment of any of the amounts specified in clause (c) above on any Monthly Payment Date shall be deemed satisfied (and interest shall not accrue at the Default Rate and no late payment charge shall be payable, nor shall any Default or Event of Default be deemed to have occurred, with respect thereto) to the extent sufficient amounts are available in the Collection Account as of the last day of the Settlement Period ended immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date to satisfy such obligations, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Paying Agent.

(f)            For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts in the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account, the Reserve Accounts, the Rent Collection Account, the Security Deposit Account and each Operating Account will be released at the written direction of the Borrower Representative on the Final Collection Date.

SECTION 2.08. Extension of Maturity Date(a)      . The Borrower Representative may, by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Lenders (an “Extension Request”) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the then existing Maturity Date request the Lenders to extend the Maturity Date for a period ending (a) April 6, 2025 (the “First Extension Term”) and (b) April 6, 2026 (the “Second Extension Term” and, together with the First Extension Term, each, an “Extension Term”). Any extension of the Maturity Date shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) no Specified Default (as defined below) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before and immediately after giving effect to such extension; provided, however, that an Extension Request may be delivered during the existence of a Specified Default so long as no Specified Default or Event of Default shall be continuing from and after the date that is five (5) days prior to the then existing Maturity Date, (ii) the Borrowers shall obtain a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement for the applicable Extension Term, (iii) the Borrowers shall have paid any applicable mortgage taxes required to maintain the enforceability and validity of any Mortgage that has been provided and recorded pursuant to this Agreement, (iv) none of the conditions set forth in Section 2.01(a)(iii)-(vi) would be violated as of the last day of the then existing Maturity Date if a Loan for $1 was made on such date, and (v) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender an extension fee in an amount equal to the product of (x) 0.25% and (y) each Lender’s Lender Percentage of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance as of the last day of the Initial Term or the First Extension Term, as applicable (the “Extension Fees”). For purposes of this Section 2.08, “Specified Default” means (1) any Default occurring as a result of any failure to pay any amount (including any Interest, Fees or principal) due and payable by any Relevant Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document when the same becomes due and payable or (2) any other Default determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to be material (it being understood that any Default arising from a failure on the part of any Relevant Party to duly observe or perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any failure of any representation, warranty or statement by or on behalf of any Relevant Party in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to be true and correct, that is qualified as to materiality or “Material Adverse Effect”, shall in each case be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be material).

SECTION 2.09. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrowers hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds to the Debt Service Account or such account as the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lenders may designate prior to such payment from time to time in writing. The Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the applicable Lender interest on all amounts not paid or deposited or debited by the Borrowers when due hereunder (subject to any applicable notice and cure periods) at the Default Rate from time to time in effect, payable on demand. All computations of Interest and Fees hereunder shall be made by the Calculation Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed; provided, that all computations of Interest calculated based on the Prime Index Rate shall be made by the Calculation Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. In no event shall any provision of this Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of Interest in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. In the event that any payment hereunder (whether constituting a repayment of Loans or a payment of Interest or any other amount) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason, the amount of such payment shall be restored and such payment shall be considered not to have been made.

SECTION 2.10. Interest Protection.

(a)            If due to either: (i) the introduction of any Change in Law or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation by any Governmental Authority of any law or regulation after the date hereof or (ii) the compliance by any Affected Party with any directive or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the date hereof, (1) there shall be an increase in the cost to such Affected Party of funding or maintaining any Loan which accrues Interest at the Term SOFR Rate (or at a rate based upon the then-applicable Benchmark) hereunder or of extending a commitment in respect thereof, or (2) such Affected Party shall be required to make a payment calculated by reference to any Loan which accrues Interest at the Term SOFR Rate (or at a rate based upon the then-applicable Benchmark) funded by it or Interest received by it, or (3) an Affected Party shall be subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Borrowers shall, from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after written demand by the related Lender or other Affected Party, pay such Lender or Affected Party for the account of such Affected Party (as a third party beneficiary, in the case of any Affected Party other than one of the Lenders), that portion of such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or required payment made or to be made, which, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.10, such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to funding and maintaining, or extending a commitment to fund, any portion or all of the Loans; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall only be required to pay any such amounts to such Lender if such Lender is imposing such costs generally on similarly situated borrowers.

(b)            Each Affected Party will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies and procedures. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Affected Party shall submit to the Borrower Representative a certificate in reasonable detail describing such increased costs incurred, amounts not received or receivable or required payment made or to be made, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c)            Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any increased costs or payments incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of circumstances under subclauses (a)(i) or (ii) above giving rise to such increased costs or payments; provided further that, if the circumstances under subclauses (a)(i) or (ii) above giving rise to such increased costs or payments are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.11. Increased Capital.

(a)            If either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation by any Official Body of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party with (x) any directive or request from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) imposed after the date hereof or (y) the requirements of, whether such compliance is commenced prior to or after the date hereof, any of (a) Basel III or (b) the Dodd-Frank Act, or any existing rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from the United States bank regulatory agencies relating to Basel III or the Dodd-Frank Act affects the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Affected Party or such Affected Party reasonably determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any Lender’s agreement to make or maintain Loans hereunder and other similar agreements or facilities and such event would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Affected Party by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, within five (5) Business Days after demand by such Affected Party, the Borrowers shall pay to such Affected Party, from time to time, as specified by such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such reduction in rate of return, to the extent that such Affected Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be attributable to the existence of the Affected Party’s agreements hereunder; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall only be required to pay any such amounts to such Lender if such Lender is imposing such costs generally on similarly situated borrowers.

(b)            Each Lender will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it or inconsistent with its internal policies. In determining the amount of such compensation, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. The applicable Lender shall submit to the Borrower Representative a certificate describing such compensation in reasonable detail, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c)            Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any increased costs or payments incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of circumstances under subclauses (a)(i) or (ii) above giving rise to such increased costs or payments; provided further that, if the circumstances under subclauses (a)(i) or (ii) above giving rise to such increased costs or payments are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.12. Funding Losses. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the applicable Lender(s) (as the case may be) against any loss or expense which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain any Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of such Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of such Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise) (collectively, “Breakage Costs”). The Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrowers a statement for any such sums which it (or any Lender) is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.12 are in addition to Borrowers’ obligations to pay any Unused Fee, Extension Fee, Minimum Yield Fee and/or any other fee set forth in this Agreement or any Fee Letter applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Loans.

SECTION 2.13. Taxes.

(a)            Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)            The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)            The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Affected Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and any costs of pursuing enforcement of this indemnification (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses related thereto). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by an Affected Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)            Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Withholding Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.03(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Withholding Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and any costs of pursuing enforcement of this indemnification (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses related thereto). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Withholding Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Withholding Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the U.S. Withholding Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e)            As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)            (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and any applicable Withholding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent or any Withholding Agent, as applicable, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent or such Withholding Agent, as applicable, as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent or any Withholding Agent, as applicable, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent or such Withholding Agent, as applicable, as will enable the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent or any Withholding Agent, as applicable, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.13(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)            any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as applicable), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(C)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Taxes, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)            if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the U.S. Withholding Agent, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Paying Agent of any deductions and/or withholdings required to be made under FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Calculation Agent nor the Paying Agent (including in its capacity as the U.S. Withholding Agent) shall have any obligation under this Agreement to determine any withholding amount required pursuant to FATCA or otherwise.

(g)            If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Taxes had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)            Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

(i)            For purposes of this Section 2.13, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(j)            Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Section 2.13 to the contrary, and provided that no Borrower has knowledge, prior to Lender’s notification to any Borrower, of any assertion of an assessment by a Governmental Authority for any Indemnified Taxes referred to in this Section 2.13(j), the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 for any penalties, interest or expense accrued on Indemnified Taxes payable under this Section 2.13, incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) day prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of the circumstances giving rise to such Indemnified Taxes.

(k)            For U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and the Reserve Accounts will be owned by Borrower Representative (the “Account Owner”). The Account Owner shall provide Computershare, in its capacity as Paying Agent with (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 by the Closing Date, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of Computershare as may be necessary (a) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes to the Account Owner and (b) to permit Computershare to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and the Reserve Accounts, as applicable, or any amounts paid to the Account Owner. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered by an Account Owner becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect (including in connection with the transfer of any beneficial ownership interest in Borrower), the Account Owner shall timely provide to Computershare in its capacity as Paying Agent accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. Computershare, both in its individual capacity and in its capacity as Paying Agent, shall have no liability to the Account Owner or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Collection Account pursuant to applicable law arising from the Account Owner’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph.

SECTION 2.14. Collateral Assignment of Agreements. The Borrowers shall pursuant to the Borrower Security Agreement and the Mortgages collaterally assign to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the Borrower’s right and title to and interest in, to and under (but not any obligations under) the Purchase Agreements related to Financed Properties and Financed Single Plat Developments, if any, all insurance policies and all other agreements, documents and instruments to which a Borrower is a party evidencing or guarantying any Collateral and all other agreements, documents and instruments to which a Borrower is a party related to any of the foregoing (the “Assigned Documents”). The Borrowers confirm and agree that the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent or any designee of either such party), during the continuation of an Event of Default, shall have the right to enforce each Borrower’s rights and remedies under each Assigned Document, but without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Borrowers under any such Assigned Document. The Administrative Agent and Lenders confirm and agree that, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall be permitted to exercise all of their respective rights under the Assigned Documents.

SECTION 2.15. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.16. Refinancings and Transfers.

(a)            The Borrowers may effect a Transfer or Refinancing of any Financed Property and direct the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to release its security interest and Lien, if any, on any such Financed Property (or Financed Single Plat Development, in the case of a Transfer or Refinancing of the Financed Properties comprising such Financed Single Plat Development) and all Collateral related thereto in connection with such Refinancing or Transfer of such Financed Properties, subject to satisfaction of all of the following terms and conditions; provided that this Section 2.16(a) shall not apply to the transfer of any Financed Property to any TRS Borrower:

(A)            (1) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to any Refinancing or (2) at least five (5) Business Days prior to any Transfer, a Request for Release, together with all attachments thereto and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent) that the conditions precedent set forth in clause (ii) below will be satisfied prior to the consummation of such Refinancing or Transfer; and

(B)            a draft release or assignment of any Mortgage for such Financed Property (or Financed Single Plat Development, in the case of a Transfer or Refinancing of the Financed Properties comprising such Financed Single Plat Development), which release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which such Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development, as applicable, is located and acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in each case, in the exercise of their reasonable discretion (as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) (such release or assignment, a “Mortgage Release”). In addition, the Borrowers shall provide all documentation the Administrative Agent reasonably requires to be delivered by the Borrowers in connection with such release or assignment, together with an officer’s certificate certifying that such documentation (A) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (B) will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of any Secured Party under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Properties subject to the Loan Documents not being released or assigned).

(ii)            On the related Refinancing or Transfer Date, the following shall be true and correct and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have certified that, after giving effect to the Refinancing or Transfer and the release to the Borrowers of the related Collateral on the related Refinancing or Transfer Date:

(A)            no more than ten percent (10%) of the Financed Properties (by number) that will remain subject to this Agreement after giving effect to such Refinancing or Transfer will be condominiums;

(B)            the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the related Refinancing or Transfer Date, except to the extent any such representations or warranties expressly relate to an earlier date in which case such representations or warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date;

(C)            no Default arising from a default in payment described in Section 7.01(b) or (d) or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Refinancing or Transfer and any related prepayment of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance required pursuant hereto;

(D)            if any prepayment of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance is required, whether before or after giving effect to such Refinancing or Transfer, other than the prepayment required under Section 2.06(b)(vi), assuming that the prepayment requirements of Section 2.06(b)(i) – (iii) are tested as of the Refinancing or Transfer Date (rather than a Quarterly Determination Date), such prepayment shall be made concurrently with such Refinancing or Transfer; and

(E)            if any Adverse Claim, litigation or governmental proceeding is existing or pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened against such Financed Property (or the related Financed Single Plat Development, if any) to be Refinanced or Transferred which may result in liability for the applicable Borrower, adequate reserves reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent shall have been, or upon such Refinancing or Transfer shall be, deposited in the Special Reserves Account.

(iii)            (A) The Calculation Agent shall have verified the calculations reflected in the related Request for Release and delivered a report setting forth the results of such calculations (the “Request for Release Report”) to the Administrative Agent and, upon written approval of the same by the Administrative Agent to the Calculation Agent, the Administrative Agent will provide a copy of such report to the Lenders by no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the related Refinancing or Transfer Date and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received confirmation from the Diligence Agent relating to a sale price for Properties subject to such Request for Release by no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the related Refinancing or Transfer Date.

The amount paid pursuant to (1) clause (A) shall be paid to the Debt Service Account on such Refinancing or Transfer Date for application to the payment of principal on the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance to the Lenders, (2) clause (B) shall be deposited in the Collection Account to be applied as Available Funds pursuant to Section 2.07 on the next Monthly Payment Date and (3) clauses (C) and (D) shall be paid to the Persons to whom such amounts are to be owed on the next Monthly Payment Date. Following the application of all payments described in the first sentence of this clause (iv), any remaining amounts shall be paid to or at the written direction of the Borrower Representative.

(v)            The Borrowers shall have paid and reimbursed (and hereby agree to pay and reimburse) all reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Servicing Agents and the Lenders in connection with any Refinancing or Transfer (including reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proposed release of any Mortgage and the Lien of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and any other party having such an interest in the Collateral in connection with such Refinancing or Transfer).

SECTION 2.17. Release of Lien; Borrowers.

(a)            In connection with (i) any Refinancing or Transfer of any Financed Property, the release of any Financed Property that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Property or of the Financed Properties on a Single Plat Development that no longer qualifies as an Approved Single Plat Development in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 2.16) or the release of any Financed Property to cure or avoid an Event of Default in accordance with Sections 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) and subject to the payment of the applicable Release Amount (and deposit of any applicable Special Reserves) with respect to each such Financed Property (including, in the case of any Financed Property located on a Single Plat Development, all Financed Properties located on such Single Plat Development), (ii) any release of any Loan Party permitted by clause (b) below or (iii) the occurrence of the Final Collection Date, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree, at the Borrowers’ expense, and without recourse, representation or warranty, and, in the case of a Refinancing or Transfer, subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.16 and Section 9.08(b), to promptly execute, deliver, file and record any Mortgage Release and any other release, document or other instrument and take such other necessary action that the Borrowers may reasonably request in writing to evidence the release by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of its security interest in the related Collateral.

(b)            If as a result of any Refinancing or Transfer of any Financed Property, the release of any Financed Property that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Property or is located on any Financed Single Plat Development that no longer qualifies as an Approved Single Plat Development in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 2.16) or the release of any Financed Property to cure or avoid an Event of Default in accordance with Sections 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) and subject to the payment of the applicable Release Amount (and deposit of any applicable Special Reserves) with respect to each such Financed Property (including, in the case of any Financed Property located on a Single Plat Development, all Financed Properties located on such Single Plat Development), a Borrower no longer owns any Financed Properties (or Pending Advance Properties) and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at such time (unless such Event of Default will be cured or avoided in connection with such release), the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to), upon the request of the Borrower Representative, release such Borrower (and its related Equity Owner, in each case to the extent that such Person no longer holds any direct or indirect Equity Interest in any other Borrower) from their respective obligations hereunder and under all of the other Loan Documents. In connection with any such release pursuant to this clause (b), the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at Borrowers’ expense, all documents that the Borrowers may shall reasonably request in writing to evidence such release.

SECTION 2.18. The Collection Account.

(a)            On or prior to the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall establish and shall thereafter maintain, at the Securities Intermediary Account Bank, the Collection Account for the purpose of receiving Collections. The Paying Agent shall also establish and maintain, at the Securities Intermediary Account Bank, the Disbursement Account and the Reserve Accounts, which may be sub-accounts of the Collection Account (i.e., ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) or separate Accounts. The taxpayer identification number associated with the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and each Reserve Account shall be that of the Borrower Representative and the Borrower Representative (and other applicable Borrowers) will report for federal, state and local income taxes, as applicable, the income, if any, represented by the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and each Reserve Account. The Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and the Reserve Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. All costs and expenses of establishing and maintaining the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and each Reserve Account shall be paid by the Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent (including in its capacity as the Securities Intermediary) shall not be responsible for reviewing and reconciling the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account or any Reserve Account.

(b)            The Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and each Reserve Account shall be established and at all times maintained by the Securities Intermediary, which shall act as a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC) hereunder and under the Securities Account Control Agreement with respect to the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account and the Reserve Accounts. In the event that the Securities Intermediary Account Bank ceases to be a Qualified Institution, the Securities Intermediary shall, within thirty (30) days thereof, establish a new Collection Account, a new Disbursement Account and new Reserve Accounts, as applicable, at a Qualified Institution (and the Securities Intermediary shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, all amounts in the then existing Collection Account, Disbursement Account and Reserve Accounts, as applicable, to such new accounts).

(c)            The Collection Account, the Disbursement Account, and each Reserve Account shall each be a “securities account” as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC and the Securities Intermediary shall cause each such account to be maintained in the name of the Borrower Representative, subject to the lien of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Securities Intermediary shall (and agrees to cause the Securities Intermediary Account Bank to) treat the Borrower Representative as the “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) under the Securities Account Control Agreement in respect of all “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) credited to the Collection Account, Disbursement Account, and any Reserve Account.

(d)            The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Disbursement Account or any Reserve Account shall not relieve the Borrowers from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

(e)            The rights and protections of the Paying Agent hereunder, including the right to indemnification, shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Paying Agent in its capacity as the Securities Intermediary under the Securities Account Control Agreement.

SECTION 2.19. The Paying Agent.

(a)            The Administrative Agent hereby appoints Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as the initial Paying Agent. All payments of amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be made on behalf of the Borrowers by the Paying Agent, in accordance with the written instruction of the Administrative Agent (which may be in electronic form and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement) received no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the applicable Monthly Payment Date. On the Final Collection Date, all funds then held by the Paying Agent under this Agreement shall, upon receipt of written demand of the Borrowers, be paid to the Administrative Agent to be held and applied according to Section 2.07, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further responsibility or liability with respect to such funds.

(b)            On each Monthly Payment Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Paying Agent the Paying Agent Fee pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(ii).

(c)            The Paying Agent hereby agrees that subject to the provisions of this Section 2.19, it shall:

(i)            hold any sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Obligations in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(ii)            give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative notice of any default by any Borrower of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Obligations;

(iii)            at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent has received written notice, upon the written instruction of the Administrative Agent (a copy of which shall be provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative), promptly pay to the Administrative Agent any sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv)            promptly resign as Paying Agent and promptly pay to the Administrative Agent any sums held by it in trust for the payment of the Obligations if at any time it ceases to be a Qualified Institution (in which event the Administrative Agent or one of its Affiliates or designees shall serve as the Paying Agent until such time as a replacement Paying Agent has been appointed in accordance with this Section 2.19);

(v)            comply, in its capacity as U.S. Withholding Agent, with all applicable requirements of the Code and any applicable State law with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it in respect of any Obligations of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; and

(vi)            provide to the Lenders such information as is required to be delivered under the applicable provisions of the Code or any State law applicable to the particular Paying Agent, relating to payments made by the Paying Agent under this Agreement.

(d)            Any successor paying agent shall be appointed by the Administrative Agent (subject to the approval of the Borrower Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld) if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing), subject to notice thereof being provided to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, and to consent by the Majority Lenders; provided that any successor paying agent shall be, at the time of such appointment, a Qualified Institution. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall mutually agree on the fees required to engage the services of any such successor Paying Agent to the extent that such fees exceed those paid to the prior paying agent and upon such mutual agreement, such approved fee shall constitute the Paying Agent Fee.

(e)            The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Paying Agent (including in its capacity as the Securities Intermediary) and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents (each, a “PA Party” and collectively, the “PA Parties”) for, and hold them harmless against any loss, liability, damages, fees, costs or expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket external attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred, expended or advanced in connection with or arising out of (i) the performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement, including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) of (A) investigating any claim or allegation relating to the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement, and (B) without duplication of any amount incurred in connection with (A) above, preparing for, and prosecuting or defending itself against any investigation, legal proceeding, whether pending or threatened, related to any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement; (ii) pursuing enforcement (including by means of any action, claim, or suit brought by the Paying Agent for such purpose) of any indemnification or other obligation of the Borrowers (the indemnification afforded under this subclause (ii) to include, without limitation, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket external legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Paying Agent in connection therewith); and (iii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Borrower in the performance of its duties hereunder, except in each case to the extent any such loss, liability, damages, fees, costs, or expense results from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Paying Agent or any PA Party (in each case, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise agreed to by the parties). All such amounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.07. In the event any such indemnity amounts are distributed to the Paying Agent from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.07 prior to deposit by the Borrowers of such indemnity amounts therein, the obligation of reimbursement by the Borrowers with respect to such indemnity amounts will instead be payable to the Collection Account. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent.

(f)            The Paying Agent shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Paying Agent in such capacity herein. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Paying Agent and no permissive right or privilege of the Paying Agent shall be construed as a duty. In the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the truth of any statements and written direction or instruction and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Paying Agent pursuant to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(g)            The Paying Agent shall not be liable for (i) an error of judgment made in good faith by one of its officers; or (ii) any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with or believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred by this Agreement or at the written direction of the Administrative Agent relating to the exercise of any power conferred upon the Paying Agent under this Agreement, in each case, unless it shall be proved that the Paying Agent shall have been grossly negligent or acted in bad faith or with willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(h)            The Paying Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Paying Agent receives written notice of such event from the Borrowers, any Secured Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(i)            Without limiting the generality of this Section 2.19, the Paying Agent shall have no duty (i) to record, file or deposit this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Collateral, or maintain any such recording, filing or depositing or to subsequently record, refile or redeposit any of the same, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, to pay or discharge any Taxes, Real Estate Taxes, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Assets, (iii) to confirm, recalculate or verify the contents, accuracy or completeness of any reports or certificates of the Administrative Agent or Calculation Agent delivered to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Paying Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or (iv) to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Borrowers’ representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(j)            The Paying Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Paying Agent to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

(k)            The Paying Agent may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, any certificate of a Responsible Officer, any Monthly Payment Report, any certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(l)            The Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Paying Agent in good faith and in accordance therewith. In connection with any request that the Paying Agent take any action or refrain from taking any action, in either case not in conformity with or outside the scope of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to request from the requesting party and to conclusively rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, an officer’s certificate or opinion of counsel delivered by or on behalf of such requesting party. Any opinion of counsel requested by the Paying Agent shall be an expense of the Borrowers.

(m)            The Paying Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies vested in it by this Agreement (except to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which it is a party) or to institute, conduct or defend any dispute or litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have offered to the Paying Agent security or indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Paying Agent against the fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses), damages and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.

(n)            The Paying Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Administrative Agent; provided, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Paying Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Paying Agent, not reasonably assured by the Borrowers, the Paying Agent may require security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent from the Lenders against such fee, cost, expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Borrowers.

(o)            The Paying Agent shall not be responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent, the Calculation Agent (unless the same entity is acting as Calculation Agent and Paying Agent), the Borrowers, any Lenders, any Counterparty or any other Person.

(p)            Any Person into which the Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which to Paying Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Paying Agent, shall be the successor of the Paying Agent under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(q)            The Paying Agent does not assume and shall have no responsibility for, and makes no representation as to, monitoring the value of the Properties or the Collateral.

(r)            The Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any other party hereto or by any other person, firm or corporation, except only such notices or instructions as are herein provided for and orders or process of any court entered or issued with or without jurisdiction. If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree with which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree maybe subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(s)            The Paying Agent may: (i) terminate its obligations as Paying Agent under this Agreement (subject to the terms set forth herein) upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders, such resignation shall not be effective until a successor paying agent acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and to whose appointment the Majority Lenders do not object within five (5) Business Days after the Lenders are notified thereof (or such shorter period in which the Majority Lenders consent thereto), shall have accepted appointment as Paying Agent, pursuant hereto and shall have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) be removed upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Paying Agent) by the Administrative Agent, delivered to the Paying Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower Representative; provided, however, that without the consent of the Majority Lenders, such removal shall not be effective until a successor paying agent acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and to whose appointment the Majority Lenders do not object within five (5) Business Days after the Lenders are notified thereof (or such shorter period in which the Majority Lenders consent thereto) shall have accepted appointment as Paying Agent pursuant hereto and shall have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In the event of such termination or removal, the Administrative Agent shall make reasonable efforts to appoint a successor paying agent. If, however, a successor paying agent is not appointed by the Administrative Agent within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor paying agent, and the fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) of such petition shall be paid or reimbursed by the Borrowers.

(t)            Any successor paying agent appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative and to the predecessor Paying Agent an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the predecessor Paying Agent shall become effective and such successor paying agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor as Paying Agent under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. The predecessor Paying Agent shall upon receipt of payment of all of its fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses), indemnity amounts and all other amounts, deliver to the successor Paying Agent all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrative Agent and the predecessor Paying Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor paying agent all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

(u)            In the event the Paying Agent’s appointment hereunder is terminated without cause, the Borrowers shall (i) reimburse the Paying Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Paying Agent incurred in transferring any funds in its possession to the successor paying agent and (ii) if such termination occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the appointment of such Paying Agent, pay to the terminated Paying Agent a termination fee equal to the unearned prorated portion of the Paying Agent Fee for that first year.

(v)            The Loan Parties hereby agree, in connection with an appointment of a successor paying agent, to negotiate in good faith any modifications to this Agreement related to the rights and obligations of the Paying Agent which are reasonably requested by such successor paying agent.

(w)            Knowledge or information acquired or received by (i) Computershare in any of its respective capacities hereunder or under any other document related to this transaction shall not be imputed to Computershare in any of its other capacities hereunder or under such other documents except to the extent their respective duties are performed by Responsible Officers in the same division or department of Computershare, and (ii) any Affiliate of Computershare shall not be imputed to Computershare in any of its respective capacities hereunder and vice versa.

(x)            Other than with respect to any information that the Paying Agent has an express duty hereunder to review, the Paying Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter for purposes of this Agreement unless a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent (i) has actual knowledge thereof or (ii) receives written notice with respect thereto.

(y)            The Paying Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action in the performance of its respective duties hereunder that would be in violation of applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, order or ordinance.

(z)            The recitals contained herein shall not be taken as the statements of the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent assumes no responsibility for their accuracy, completeness or correctness.

(aa)      For purposes of satisfying any information collection and tax reporting obligations under the Code and U.S. Treasury Regulations (including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, any cost basis reporting obligations thereunder), each Borrower and each Lender agrees to provide to the Paying Agent all information required by the Code and U.S. Treasury Regulations to be provided by such person (or as may be reasonably requested by the Paying Agent), to permit the Paying Agent to satisfy its obligations thereunder.

(bb)      The rights, protections, limitations of liability, and immunities of the Paying Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, its right to indemnification, shall also apply to the Paying Agent (including in its capacity as the Securities Intermediary) in the performance or exercise of its duties, powers, and rights under any under the Securities Account Control Agreement.

(cc)      The Paying Agent may delegate or perform any of its rights, duties, or powers under this Agreement by or through affiliates, agents, sub-agents, service providers, or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such rights, duties, or powers provided that such delegation shall not relieve Paying Agent of any of its duties or obligations hereunder.

(dd)      The Paying Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any delays or failures in performance resulting from a force majeure event outside of its control, which includes, without limitation, an act of God, strike, lockout, riot, act of war or terrorism, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine, governmental or regulatory action, fire, communication line or system failure, computer virus (including any malware or ransomware attack), computer hardware or software failure, power or utility failure, earthquake, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other applicable wire or funds transfer system. Upon the occurrence of such delays or failures in performance, the Paying Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such delays and failures as soon as reasonably practicable.

(ee)      In no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Paying Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damage and regardless of the form of action.

(ff)      The Paying Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the perfection or priority of any interest of any party in the Collection Account (or any other account, property, or collateral referenced in this Agreement), or the monitoring or maintenance of any such perfection or priority.

SECTION 2.20. The Calculation Agent.

(a)            Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is hereby appointed as Calculation Agent and is authorized to take such actions and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Calculation Agent by the terms hereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(i)            The duties of the Calculation Agent hereunder shall be limited to (A) verifying the calculations of the Borrowers (collectively, the “Calculations”) with respect to each Borrowing Request, each Monthly Borrower Report, each Monthly Payment Report, each Reserve Release Request, each Request for Release and each Compliance Certificate based solely on information provided to the Calculation Agent by the Borrowers, in each case, as set forth on Schedule VI hereto, (B) calculating the Term SOFR Rate or, following a conversion to the Alternate Rate or the Prime Rate pursuant to Section 2.04, the Alternate Rate or the Prime Rate, hereunder (based upon the information provided by the Administrative Agent) and (C) maintaining the records set forth in Section 2.01(e).

(ii)            The Calculation Agent shall verify the Calculations as set forth herein.

(iii)            In the event of a discrepancy between the calculations received by the Calculation Agent from the Borrowers and the results of the verification conducted by the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent shall give prompt written notice (which may be in electronic form) of such discrepancy to the Borrowers, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, and the Calculation Agent shall work with such parties in good faith to resolve such discrepancy. In each case, the final result agreed to by the parties with respect to such Calculations shall be approved in writing (which may be in electronic form) by the Borrowers, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.

(iv)            Each of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree that so long as the Calculation Agent complies with the terms of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Calculation Agent shall have no liability with respect to any Calculations that are verified by the Calculation Agent (including pursuant to consultations described in clause (iii) above) that are subsequently determined to be incorrect, except to the extent of the Calculation Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. For avoidance of doubt, such exculpation from liability shall include, without limitation, any loss, liability, damage or expense of Lenders (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred as a result of lending to Borrowers based on any such erroneous calculations.

(b)            On each Monthly Payment Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Calculation Agent any Calculation Agent Fee due to the Calculation Agent pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(ii).

(c)            Any successor calculation agent shall be appointed by the Administrative Agent (subject to the approval of the Borrower Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing) subject to providing notice thereof to the Lenders and the absence of objection thereto by the Majority Lenders within five (5) Business Days after being notified thereof (or such shorter period in which the Majority Lenders consent thereto). The Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative shall mutually agree on the fees required to engage the services of any such successor calculation agent to the extent that such fees exceed those paid to the prior Calculation Agent and upon such mutual agreement, such approved fee shall constitute the Calculation Agent Fee.

(d)            The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Calculation Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents (each, a “CA Party” and collectively, the “CA Parties”) for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, damages, costs or expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket external attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred, expended or advanced in connection with or arising out of (i) the performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement, including the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) of (A) investigating any claim, dispute or allegation relating to the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement, and (B) without duplication of any amount incurred in connection with (A) above, preparing for, and prosecuting or defending itself against any claim, dispute, investigation, legal proceeding, whether pending or threatened, related to any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement; (ii) pursuing enforcement (including by means of any action, claim, or suit brought by the Calculation Agent for such purpose) of any indemnification or other obligation of the Borrowers (the indemnification afforded under this clause (ii) to include, without limitation, any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket external legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Calculation Agent in connection therewith); and (iii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Borrower in the performance of its duties hereunder, except in each case to the extent any such loss, liability, damages, costs or expense results from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Calculation Agent or any CA Party (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant or as otherwise agreed to by the parties). All such indemnification amounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.07. In the event any such indemnity amounts are distributed to the Calculation Agent from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.07 prior to deposit by the Borrowers of such indemnity amounts therein, the obligation of reimbursement by the Borrowers with respect to such indemnity amounts will instead be payable to the Collection Account. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Calculation Agent.

(e)            The Calculation Agent shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Calculation Agent in such capacity herein. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Calculation Agent, and no permissive right or privilege of the Calculation Agent shall be construed as a duty or obligation. In the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Calculation Agent pursuant to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. The Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for verifying any calculations pursuant to this Agreement to the extent information necessary to make such verifications is not provided to it by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers.

(f)            The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for (i) an error of judgment made in good faith by one of its officers, employees, agents, affiliates or attorneys; or (ii) any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with or believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights, privileges or powers conferred by this Agreement or at the written direction of the Administrative Agent relating to the exercise of any power conferred upon the Calculation Agent under this Agreement, in each case, unless it shall be proved that the Calculation Agent shall have been grossly negligent or acted in bad faith or with willful misconduct in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(g)            The Calculation Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Calculation Agent obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Calculation Agent receives written notice of such event from the Borrowers, any Secured Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(h)            Without limiting the generality of this Section 2.20, the Calculation Agent shall have no duty (i) to record, file or deposit this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest in the Collateral, or maintain any such recording, filing or depositing or to subsequently record, refile or redeposit any of the same, (ii) to pay or discharge any Taxes, Real Estate Taxes, assessment or other governmental charge or any Lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Assets, (iii) to confirm, recalculate or verify the contents, accuracy or completeness of any reports or certificates of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent delivered to the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Agreement believed by the Calculation Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or (iv) to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the Borrowers’ (or any other party’s) representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(i)            The Calculation Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Calculation Agent to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

(j)            The Calculation Agent may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, any certificate of a Responsible Officer, any report, any certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(k)            The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in accordance therewith. In connection with any request that the Calculation Agent take any action or refrain from taking any action, in either case not in conformity with and outside the scope of this Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to request from the requesting party and to conclusively rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, an officer’s certificate or opinion of counsel delivered by or on behalf of such requesting party. Any opinion of counsel requested by the Calculation Agent shall be an expense of the Borrowers.

(l)            The Calculation Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights, powers, privileges or remedies vested in it by this Agreement (except to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which it is a party) or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation to this Agreement, at the request, order or direction of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have offered to the Calculation Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Calculation Agent against the fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.

(m)            The Calculation Agent shall not be bound to make any review or investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Administrative Agent; provided, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Calculation Agent of the fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, not reasonably assured by the Borrowers, the Calculation Agent may require security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Calculation Agent from the Lenders against such fee, cost, expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Borrowers or, if paid by the Calculation Agent, shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.07.

(n)            The Calculation Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent (unless the same entity is then acting as Calculation Agent and Paying Agent), the Borrowers, any Lenders, any Counterparty or any other Person.

(o)            Any Person into which the Calculation Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which to Calculation Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Calculation Agent, shall be the successor of the Calculation Agent under this Agreement, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(p)            The Calculation Agent does not assume and shall have no responsibility for, and makes no representation as to, monitoring the value of the Properties or the Collateral.

(q)            If the Calculation Agent shall at any time receive conflicting instructions from the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers or any other party to this Agreement and the conflict between such instructions cannot be resolved by reference to the terms of this Agreement, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to rely without liability on the instructions of the Administrative Agent. In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting based upon any resolution, officer’s certificate, any Monthly Payment Report, certificate of auditors, or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Calculation Agent may rely upon the validity of documents delivered to it, without investigation as to their authenticity or legal effectiveness, and the parties to this Agreement will hold the Calculation Agent harmless from any claims that may arise or be asserted against the Calculation Agent because of the invalidity of any such documents or their failure to fulfill their intended purpose.

(r)            The Calculation Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any other party hereto or by any other person, firm or corporation, except only such notices or instructions as are herein provided for and orders or process of any court entered or issued with or without jurisdiction. If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Calculation Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree with which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree maybe subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

(s)            The Calculation Agent may delegate, exercise, or perform any of its duties, powers, or rights under this Agreement by or through affiliates, agents, sub-agents, service providers or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, powers, or rights. The Calculation Agent shall not be responsible or liable for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, sub-agents, service providers, affiliates, or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Borrowers shall pay or reimburse the Calculation Agent for any reasonable fees, costs, or expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred, expended, or advanced by the Calculation Agent with respect to any agents, affiliates, sub-agents, service providers, or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20 and such affiliates, agents, service providers and attorneys-in-fact shall be entitled to all the same protections, indemnification rights, and exculpation by the Loan Parties as may apply to the Calculation Agent.

(t)            The Calculation Agent may: (i) terminate its obligations as Calculation Agent under this Agreement (subject to the terms set forth herein) upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders, such resignation shall not be effective until a successor calculation agent acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and to whose appointment the Majority Lenders do not reasonably object within five (5) Business Days after the Lenders are notified thereof (or such shorter period in which the Majority Lenders consent thereto), shall have accepted appointment as Calculation Agent, pursuant hereto and shall have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) be removed upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written demand of the Administrative Agent, delivered to the Calculation Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower Representative; provided, further, however, that such removal shall not be effective until the appointment of a successor calculation agent acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and to whose appointment the Majority Lenders do not reasonably object within five (5) Business Days after the Lenders are notified thereof (or such shorter period in which the Majority Lenders consent thereto), shall have accepted appointment as Calculation Agent, pursuant hereto and shall have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In the event of such termination or removal, the Administrative Agent shall make reasonable efforts to appoint a successor calculation agent. If, however, a successor calculation agent is not appointed by the Administrative Agent within ninety (90) days after the giving of a notice of resignation or removal, the Calculation Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor calculation agent, and the fees, costs, and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) of such petition shall be paid or reimbursed by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, if the failure to appoint a successor calculation agent in accordance with this section is caused by the Borrower Representative’s failure to agree, in contravention of clause (w) below, to modifications of this Agreement related to the rights and obligations of the Calculation Agent which are reasonably requested by such successor calculation agent, including, but not limited to, the fees required to engage the services of such successor calculation agent, then the fees, costs, and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) of such petition shall be paid or reimbursed by the Borrowers; provided further if the failure to appoint a successor calculation agent in accordance with this section is caused by the Majority Lenders’ unreasonable objection to the appointment of such successor calculation agent, then the fees, costs, and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) of such petition shall be paid or reimbursed by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Lender Percentages.

(u)            Any successor calculation agent appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and to the predecessor Calculation Agent a written instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the predecessor Calculation Agent shall become effective and such successor calculation agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor as Calculation Agent under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Calculation Agent. The predecessor Calculation Agent shall upon receipt of payment of all of its fees, costs, and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses), indemnity amounts, and any other amounts, deliver to the successor calculation agent all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Administrative Agent and the predecessor Calculation Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be requested in writing by the Administrative Agent for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor calculation agent all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.

(v)            In the event the Calculation Agent’s appointment hereunder is terminated without cause, the Borrowers shall (i) reimburse the Calculation Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) of the Calculation Agent incurred in transferring any funds in its possession to the successor calculation agent and (ii) if such termination occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the appointment of such Calculation Agent, pay to the terminated Calculation Agent a termination fee equal to the unearned prorated portion of the Calculation Agent Fee for that first year.

(w)            The Loan Parties and the Sponsors hereby agree, in connection with an appointment of a successor Calculation Agent, to negotiate in good faith any modifications to this Agreement related to the rights and obligations of the Calculation Agent which are reasonably requested by such successor Calculation Agent.

(x)            Other than with respect to any information that the Calculation Agent has an express duty hereunder to review, the Calculation Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter for purposes of this Agreement unless a Responsible Officer of the Calculation Agent (i) has actual knowledge thereof or (ii) receives written notice with respect thereto.

(y)            The Calculation Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action in the performance of its respective duties hereunder that would be in violation of applicable law, statute, regulation, order, or ordinance.

(z)            The Calculation Agent shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability with respect to (i) monitoring, determining or verifying the occurrence of any Benchmark Unavailability Condition, or giving notice to any party of the occurrence of any Benchmark Unavailability Condition, (ii) selecting, determining or designating any Alternate Rate or Benchmark Replacement, or determining whether any conditions to the designation of any Alternate Rate or the Prime Rate have been satisfied, or (iii) determining whether or what amendments to this Agreement are necessary in connection with any of the foregoing, even if the Administrative Agent does not take these or any other actions in accordance with this Agreement.

(aa)      The recitals contained herein shall not be taken as the statements of the Calculation Agent and the Calculation Agent shall have and assumes no responsibility for their accuracy, completeness, or correctness.

(bb)      The Calculation Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any delays or failures in performance resulting from a force majeure event outside of its control, which includes, without limitation, an act of God, strike, lockout, riot, act of war or terrorism, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine, governmental or regulatory action, fire, communication line or system failure, computer virus (including any malware or ransomware attack), computer hardware or software failure, power or utility failure, earthquake, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other applicable wire or funds transfer system. Upon the occurrence of such delays or failures in performance, the Calculation Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such delays and failures as soon as reasonably practicable.

(cc)      In no event shall the Calculation Agent be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Calculation Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such damage and regardless of the form of action.

(dd)      The Calculation Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the perfection or priority of any interest of any party in the Collection Account (or any other account, property or collateral referenced in this Agreement), or the monitoring or maintenance of any such perfection or priority.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)            Unused Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(b). Any amount paid by the Borrowers for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until the occurrence of the Final Collection Date, after which such amount shall be used to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct;

(b)            upon the election of the Borrowers and written notice to the Administrative Agent, the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may be reduced to zero without any contemporaneous ratable reduction of the Commitments of the other Lenders;

(c)            neither the Commitment nor the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder and the Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders have taken or may have taken any action hereunder (including, in each case, any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.01); provided, that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, as applicable; and

(d)            the Borrowers may replace such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.22.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative, determines that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then (x) the Lender Percentages shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Lender Percentage whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender and (y) the provisions of clauses (a) through (d) above shall, from and after such determination, cease to be of further force or effect with respect to such Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.22. Replacement of a Lender.

(a)            If (i) any Affected Party requests compensation under Section 2.10(a), 2.11(a), or 2.13 or any Lender ceases to make any Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 2.10(a), 2.11(a) or 2.13, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the related Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.03), all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (A) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignee that is not already a Lender hereunder, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) the assignee shall not be an Affiliate of any Loan Party, (C) such assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Loans funded or maintained by such Lender, together with all accrued Interest thereon and all accrued Fees and other Obligations payable to them hereunder and under the Loan Documents, from the assignee, (D) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10(a), Section 2.11(a), or Section 2.13 such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (E) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have agreed to, and shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of, the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans held by such Lender as of such termination date (without the payment of any fees); provided that in the case of any such termination of a Non-Consenting Lender, such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to exist.

(b)            Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.22(a) above shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender’s applicable Commitment and outstanding Loans. Pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and (B) all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and Commitments so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans and Commitments, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within three (3) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender.

(c)            In the event that the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto and the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of the Supermajority Lenders, all affected Lenders or all the Lenders, in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 and the Majority Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” For the avoidance of doubt, (x) Non-Consenting Lender shall not include any Lender that abstains from voting on any consent, waiver or amendment if the vote of such Lender would not be required in order for such consent, waiver or amendment to be approved pursuant to this Agreement, and (y) if the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, any failure of the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as Administrative Agent, to grant any consent, waiver or amendment shall not result in the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as a Lender, being deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender.

SECTION 2.23. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a)            Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which a Borrower is a party in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b)            Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loans issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby, to the extent permitted by law, assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.23 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.23, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.23 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.23 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, examination, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Secured Party.

(c)            Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of other Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of guarantors and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(d)            The provisions of this Section 2.23 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any such the Administrative Agent, Lenders, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.23 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied and all Commitments have terminated. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.23 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(e)            Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation, or assert any claim, against any other Borrower with respect to any Indebtedness or other liabilities owing to it from another Borrower, any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, examination, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness or liability, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.07.

SECTION 2.24. Partial Reduction of Commitments. The Borrowers may, at their option, from time to time reduce the Aggregate Commitments, upon prior written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Calculation Agent (with a copy to each Lender) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such reduction; provided that (i) each reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000, or in increments of $1,000,000 above $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.06(a), the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance would exceed the Aggregate Commitment. Each such notice shall specify (i) the amount of the reduction in the Aggregate Commitment and (ii) the Business Day on which such reduction shall occur.

SECTION 2.25. Actions and Events Outside of Lenders’ and Agents’ Control. None of the Lenders, Servicing Agents or the Administrative Agent shall be liable in any way to any Relevant Party or third party for any such Lender’s, Servicing Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Servicing Agent may suspend or terminate all or any portion of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s or Servicing Agent’s obligations under the Loan Documents during any such period) if such failure to perform or delay in performance results directly or indirectly from any act of God, strike, lockout, boycott, blockade, riot, act of war, terrorism, rebellion, insurrection, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine, national emergency, fire, communication line failure, computer virus, computer hardware or software failure, malware or ransomware attack, power failure, earthquake, unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system, unavailability of any securities clearing system, or any other similar cause or event beyond the reasonable control of Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Servicing Agent. No “Default” or “Event of Default” shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder as a result of the failure of a Loan Party to make payment for an obligation that such Lender, Servicing Agent or the Administrative Agent is required to satisfy through an application of funds on deposit in an Account in accordance with Section 2.07 or Article VI and such Lender, Servicing Agent or the Administrative Agent fails to so pay as the result of any event described in the foregoing sentence, and the performance by any Loan Party of its obligations under this Agreement shall be extended day-for-day by each day that such Loan Party is unable to so perform hereunder directly as the result of such Lender, Servicing Agent or the Administrative Agent failing to perform hereunder as the result of any event described in the foregoing sentence.

SECTION 2.26. BRG Restructuring. Subject to the satisfaction of each of the BRG Restructuring Conditions on or prior to the BRG Restructuring Effective Date, on the BRG Restructuring Effective Date (i) the Initial BRG Sponsor shall be automatically released from the BRG Sponsor Guaranty and from liability under any obligations applicable to the BRG Sponsor under this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) the BRG Replacement Sponsor (and not the Initial BRG Sponsor) shall be solely responsible for complying with the Sponsor Financial Covenants applicable to the BRG Sponsor and for any and all other obligations applicable to the BRG Sponsor under this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents, and each reference to the BRG Sponsor under the this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnity and/or under any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to instead refer to and be the sole responsibility of the Replacement BRG Sponsor, including pursuant to BRG Sponsor Replacement Documents. From and after the BRG Restructuring Effective Date (subject only to compliance with the BRG Restructuring Conditions), (x) the Initial BRG Sponsor shall have no obligations or liabilities whatsoever to the Lenders including but not limited to under the Loan Documents, and (y) all references herein or under any of the Loan Documents to “BRG Sponsor” shall instead mean and refer to the Replacement BRG Sponsor and not to Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

SECTION 4.01. Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party represents and warrants as of the Closing Date, the BRG Restructuring Effective Date and, subject to Sections 3.02(o) and 3.03(o) above, on each date a Loan is made (and on each other date provided for in the Loan Documents) as follows:

(a)            Organization. Each Relevant Party has been duly organized and is validly existing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Each Relevant Party is duly qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations, except to the extent that failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Relevant Party possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, except to the extent that failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The sole business of each Loan Party consists of performing its respective obligations under the Loan Documents and any other activities permitted for such Loan Party by Section 5.01(l)(i). The ownership interests in each Loan Party and are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 4.01.

(b)            Proceedings. Each Relevant Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. This Agreement and each other Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Relevant Party party thereto and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Relevant Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Relevant Party thereto in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c)            No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Relevant Party party thereto (i) will not contravene such Relevant Party’s Constituent Documents, (ii) will not result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Relevant Party or any of each Relevant Party’s properties or assets, (iii) with respect to each Relevant Party, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, loan agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which any Relevant Party is a party or to, which any of each Relevant Party’s property or assets is subject, that could, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) with respect to each Relevant Party, except for Liens created under the Loan Documents, will not result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the assets of any Relevant Party. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by each Relevant Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which it is a party has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

(d)            Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other court or agency now pending or to the Borrowers’ knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Relevant Party, which actions, suits or proceedings (i) involve this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or (ii) could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other entity that resulted in a judgment against any Loan Party that has not been paid in full that would otherwise constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.01(s).

(e)            Agreements. No Relevant Party is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Relevant Party is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party which default could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than the Loan Documents, no Loan Party has a material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which any such Loan Party is a party other than the applicable Purchase Agreements, Management Agreements, agreements that relate to Renovation Expenses, agreements or instruments evidencing Permitted Liens (and agreements and instruments related to tenant improvement work thereunder or in connection therewith) and agreements or instruments evidencing any Permitted Indebtedness.

(f)            Solvency. Each Relevant Party has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement nor executed any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loans, each Relevant Party is Solvent. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against any Relevant Party in the last seven (7) years, and no Relevant Party has, in the last seven (7) years, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. No Relevant Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of such Person’s assets or property, and to the Borrowers’ knowledge, no Person is contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or against any Relevant Party.

(g)            Employee Benefit Plans/ERISA. Assuming no portion of the assets used by any Lender to fund any Loan constitutes the assets of an ERISA Plan (as defined below), the assets of each Sponsor and each Loan Party do not constitute “plan assets” of (a) any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) any “plan” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or (c) any employee benefit plan or plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code but is subject to any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Sponsor or such Loan Party which is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibits or otherwise restricts the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any rights under the Loan Documents (each of clauses (a), (b) and (c), an “ERISA Plan”). Neither Sponsor nor any Loan Party sponsors or maintains any Plans or Foreign Plans and does not have any employees.

(h)            Employee Benefit Matters. Each Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or fund) is in compliance in all material respects with its terms and with all applicable laws, including ERISA and the Code. For each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code as currently in effect, and each trust related to any such Plan intended to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code as currently in effect, no event has taken place which could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualified status and exempt status. With respect to each Plan, each Sponsor, each Loan Party and all of their respective ERISA Affiliates have satisfied the minimum funding standard under Section 412(a) of the Code and paid all required minimum contributions and all required installments on or before the due dates under Section 430(j) of the Code. Neither Sponsor, any Loan Party nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has filed, pursuant to Section 412(c) of the Code or Section 302(c) of ERISA, an application for a waiver of the minimum funding standard. Neither Sponsor, any Loan Party nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due which are unpaid. No Plan is in “at risk” status within the meaning of Section 430(i) of the Code. There are no existing, pending or threatened claims (other than routine claims for benefits in the normal course), sanctions, actions, lawsuits or other proceedings or investigation involving any Plan to which any Sponsor, any Loan Party or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has incurred or otherwise has or could have an obligation or any liability. With respect to each Multiemployer Plan, each Sponsor, each Loan Party and all of their respective ERISA Affiliates have satisfied all required contributions and installments on or before the applicable due dates and have not incurred a complete or partial withdrawal under Section 4203 or 4205 of ERISA. No Plan Termination Event has or is reasonably expected to occur.

(i)            Foreign Plan Matters. Each Foreign Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan. The aggregate of the liabilities to provide all of the accrued benefits under each Foreign Plan does not exceed the current fair market value of the assets held in the trust or other funding vehicle for such plan. There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened against any Sponsor, any Loan Party or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Plan.

(i)            Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board (“Margin Stock”) or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of the Board, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. None of the Collateral is comprised of Margin Stock and less than 25% of the assets of each Loan Party are comprised of Margin Stock.

(j)            Not a Foreign Person. No Relevant Party is a “foreign person” within the meaning of § 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

(k)            Taxes. Each Loan Party has filed, or caused to be filed, on a timely basis (including all permitted extensions) all Tax returns (including all foreign, federal, state, local and other Tax returns) required to be filed by it, is not liable for Taxes (excluding taxes for which Tax Reserves have been established and on deposit in the Tax Reserve Account) payable by any other Person, and has paid or made adequate provisions for the payment of all Taxes (excluding taxes for which Tax Reserves have been established and on deposit in the Tax Reserve Account), assessments and other governmental charges owed and payable by such Loan Party except as permitted by Section 5.01(d). All mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar tax required to be paid by any Loan Party under applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been paid.

(l)            Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and no Loan Party relies solely on the exemption from the definition of “investment company” in Section 3(c)(1) and/or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (although such exemptions may be available).

(m)            Eligible Property; Approved Single Plat Development. Each (i) Financed Property is an Eligible Property and (ii) Financed Single Plat Development is an Approved Single Plat Development.

It is expressly agreed that the Administrative Agent may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Rate Cap Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Cap Collateral; provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize the Administrative Agent’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Rate Cap Collateral at a later time or times.

(ii)            The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and subject to the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of the Borrowers, all of the Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral, hereunder and under law.

These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by the Borrowers in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.

(iv)            The Administrative Agent may, without notice to, or assent by, the Borrowers or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of the Borrowers or in the name of the Administrative Agent, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to make payment and performance directly to the Administrative Agent; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to the Borrowers, or claims of the Borrowers, under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by the Administrative Agent to protect and preserve and realize upon the Rate Cap Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.

(v)            Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, the Administrative Agent may take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on the Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to the Borrowers representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Cap Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of the Borrowers, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the Rate Cap Collateral hereunder.

(vi)            the Administrative Agent may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral.

(vii)            Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of the Borrowers’ rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing the Borrowers from any obligation or default hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be performed or observed by the Borrowers to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of the Borrowers. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, the Administrative Agent in exercising its rights under this Section 5.03(e)(vii) (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.

(f)            Sales of Rate Cap Collateral. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Cap Collateral during an Event of Default, except that the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the place where any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice the Borrowers hereby agree is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices (except those required under any Loan Document) being hereby waived. To the extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and, to the extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent may without notice or publication, but subject to the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice (except to the extent required under any Loan Document), be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Rate Cap Collateral during an Event of Default of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, the Administrative Agent (or its nominee or designee) may, subject to the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, purchase any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of the Borrowers, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Rate Cap Collateral, public or private, the Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers’ and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon. However, the proceeds of sale of Rate Cap Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, the Administrative Agent shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in this Agreement.

(g)            Public Sales Not Possible. The Borrowers acknowledge that the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Rate Cap Collateral may not be of the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law. In light of these considerations, the Borrowers agree that private sales of the Rate Cap Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner by mere virtue of having been made privately.

(h)            Receipt of Sale Proceeds. Upon any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral by the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by the Administrative Agent or the officer making the sale or the proceeds of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Rate Cap Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.

(i)            Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All of the provisions of this Section 5.03 applicable to the initial Interest Rate Cap Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date shall be applicable to any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, including any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement obtained in connection with the Borrowers’ exercise of any Extension Request pursuant to Section 2.08.

(j)            Increases, Extensions and Replacements of Interest Rate Cap Agreement. In connection with any increase in the notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any extension of the term thereof which may be required by virtue of the provisions of this Section 5.03 or otherwise, or in connection with the delivery of any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Borrowers shall cause counsel to the Counterparty to deliver a legal opinion letter addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the Closing Date and at least once each year thereafter based on the Borrowers’ reasonable estimate of the net income from each Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable pursuant to this subsection shall be deposited directly into the Collection Account and shall be applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve the Borrowers of their obligations under the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(ix)            if applicable, any additional insurance coverage the Borrower Representative may agree in writing to maintain in connection with the approval of any Multi-Family Properties or Single Plat Developments as Approved Multi-Family Properties or Approved Single Plat Developments.

(b)            All insurance provided for in this Section 5.04, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the written approval of the Administrative Agent as to insurance companies, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the applicable State and (i) prior to a securitization, having a rating of “A-:IX” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports or a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P or another Rating Agency selected by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) from and after a securitization, having a rating of “A3” or better by Moody’s or, if Moody’s does not provide a rating of an applicable insurance company, a rating of “A-” or better by S&P or Fitch, provided, however, that if Borrower elects to have its insurance coverage provided by a syndicate of insurers, then, if such syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, (i) at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage (or seventy-five percent (75%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) and one hundred (100%) of the first layer of such insurance coverage shall be provided by insurance companies having a rating of “A3” or better by Moody’s or, if Moody’s does not provide a rating of an applicable insurance company, a rating of “A-” or better by S&P or Fitch and (ii) the remaining forty percent (40%) of the insurance coverage (or the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) shall be provided by insurance companies having a rating of “Baa2” or better by Moody’s or, if Moody’s does not provide a rating of an applicable insurance company, a rating of “BBB” or better by S&P or Fitch); provided, however, that following any downgrade of an insurance company that previously met the ratings criteria set forth above, the Borrowers shall have a period of thirty (30) days to cause replacement Policies to be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the applicable State and meeting the ratings criteria set forth above.

Within thirty (30) days of written request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall provide full and complete copies of all Policies required hereunder.

(c)            Any blanket insurance Policy shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only each Property in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.04.

(d)            All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by this Section 5.04 shall name Borrowers as the named insured and, in the case of liability coverages, shall name the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the additional insured on a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, as its interests may appear, and all property insurance Policies described in this Section 5.04 shall name the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as a mortgagee and lender loss payee and shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders.

(e)            Each Policy provided for or contemplated by this Section 5.04 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i)            no act or negligence of any Borrower, or anyone acting for any Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies hereunder or any other Loan Document, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as the Administrative Agent is concerned;

(ii)            such Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to the Administrative Agent, Diligence Agent and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

(iii)            the issuer thereof shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent and Diligence Agent if such Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

(iv)            the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f)            The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed by reason of the custody of any Policies, certificates or binders or copies thereof to have knowledge of the contents thereof. If any Borrower fails to maintain any Policy as required pursuant to this Section 5.04, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, obtain such Policy using such carriers and agencies as the Administrative Agent shall elect from year to year (until such Borrower shall have obtained such Policy in accordance with this Section 5.04) and pay the premiums therefor, and the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any premium so paid, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the time such premiums are paid by the Administrative Agent until the same are reimbursed by Borrowers, and the amount so owing to the Administrative Agent shall constitute a portion of the Obligations.

(g)            In the event of foreclosure of any Mortgage or other transfer of title to any Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development in extinguishment in whole or in part of any Loan, all right, title and interest of the Borrowers in and to the Policies then in force concerning such Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development (except to the extent that any such insurance policy is a blanket policy) and all proceeds payable thereunder with respect to such Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development shall thereupon vest in the purchaser of such foreclosure or the Administrative Agent or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(h)            If a Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development incurs a Casualty, the applicable Borrower shall either (i) retain any Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto and promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the restoration of such Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty; provided that within ninety (90) days after receipt of such Insurance Proceeds, the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative to the effect that the applicable Borrower shall so retain such Insurance Proceeds and promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of such restoration or (ii) prepay the Loans (in an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount, and any interest, Fees or other Obligations related thereto, of the related Financed Property) on the Monthly Payment Date following the Settlement Period in which the Borrowers elects not to restore such Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development, in which event the Administrative Agent shall release the security interest and Lien in and to all Collateral related to such Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development in accordance with Section 2.17; provided, however, if the amount of total Insurance Proceeds in respect of any one Casualty shall exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance at such time, the Majority Lenders shall have a right to direct whether the proceeds shall be applied as described in clause (i) or (ii) above. The applicable Borrower shall give prompt written notice of any such Casualty resulting in either (i) a Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development being destroyed in whole or (ii) damage to one or more Financed Properties or Financed Single Plat Developments in an amount equal to or greater than $500,000 in any single occurrence (fire, named windstorm, etc.). In the event that clause (i) of this clause (h) applies, the Borrowers shall pay all costs of such restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by the Borrowers.

(i)            With respect to any Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development, specifically identified by the applicable Flood Hazard Determination as located in a “special flood hazard area” with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the Flood Insurance Laws, the Borrowers shall (A) maintain with respect to such Financed Property or, with respect to any Financed Single Plat Development, each Property located thereon, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount sufficient to comply with the Flood Insurance Laws, and (B) provide to the Administrative Agent for delivery to each Lender, an executed notice that satisfies the requirements set forth at 12 C.F.R. 22.9.

The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Lenders shall, require the Borrowers by written notice to the Borrower Representative to sell or transfer (which sale or transfer may be to an affiliate of any Borrower for fair market value or otherwise disposed of in manner that would not cause the Loan Parties to violate Section 5.01(l)) (i) any Property that does not constitute a Financed Property or any Single Plat Development that does not constitute a Financed Single Plat Development within ninety (90) days following the acquisition of such Property or such Single Plat Development (or, if later, ninety (90) days following the date of this Agreement), and/or (ii) any Disqualified Property, in each case if the Administrative Agent (or the Majority Lenders) shall have reasonably determined in their judgment that there is material liability at any such Property, or Disqualified Property, as applicable, and sufficient cause exists for such removal (and provided written notice to the Borrowers describing in reasonable detail any such sufficient cause).

ARTICLE VI

RESERVES

With respect to all Reserves and Reserve Accounts, subject to Section 6.11 below:

SECTION 6.01. [Reserved].

SECTION 6.02. Renovation Reserves.

(a)            Renovation Reserves Account. Prior to the advance of any Loan related to any Non-Stabilized Property, the Loan Parties shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Diligence Agent a budget and schedule (the “Proposed Scheduled Renovation Work”) describing the Renovation Expenses necessary in the Borrowers’ good faith determination to cause such Non-Stabilized Properties to be renovated, improved, repaired and completed so as to satisfy the Renovation Standards. In connection with obtaining the BPO Value for such Non-Stabilized Properties, the Administrative Agent will cause the Diligence Agent to inspect such Non-Stabilized Properties and review the Proposed Scheduled Renovation Work to determine if the proposed schedule of repairs, installations, renovations, rehabilitation and other capital expenditures and the amounts budgeted therefor are sufficient to bring such Non-Stabilized Properties into compliance with the Renovation Standards. If the Diligence Agent has determined that such proposed schedule and the amounts budgeted therefor are sufficient for such purpose, such schedule shall constitute the “Scheduled Renovation Work” for such Non-Stabilized Property. If the Diligence Agent has determined that such proposed schedule or the amounts budgeted therefor are not sufficient for such purpose, the Diligence Agent may propose modifications to the Proposed Scheduled Renovation Work for such Non-Stabilized Properties and such revised schedule (once agreed by the Borrowers) shall constitute the “Scheduled Renovation Work” for such Non-Stabilized Property. In any event, the amount of “Renovation Reserves” with respect to each Non-Stabilized Property shall be an amount equal (x) to 100% of the amounts budgeted in the Scheduled Renovation Work with respect thereto. At the time of disbursement of any Loan with respect to any Non-Stabilized Property, an amount equal to the Renovation Reserves with respect to such Non-Stabilized Property shall be deposited by Borrowers with the Paying Agent (or remitted from the proceeds of a related Loan on such Property pursuant to Section 2.02(c)) for transfer to the Renovation Reserves Account. The Loan Parties shall promptly perform all of the Scheduled Renovation Work on Financed Properties constituting Non-Stabilized Properties in a good and workmanlike manner, and shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Diligence Agent when the Scheduled Renovation Work on a Property has been completed (a “Notice of Completion”). The Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders may cause the Diligence Agent to inspect the leases for all such Financed Properties and a sample of up to ten percent (10%) by number of the Financed Properties (any such inspection, a “Renovation Standards Inspection”) with respect to which Notices of Completion have been delivered since the date of the last Renovation Standards Inspection for purposes of verifying compliance with the Renovation Standards, such sample to be selected by the Administrative Agent. If the Diligence Agent is not able to access any such Financed Property selected for inspection, the Administrative Agent shall select other Financed Properties to be inspected, such that such sample is comprised of up to 10% of the Financed Properties with respect to which Notices of Completion have been delivered since the date of the last Renovation Standards Inspection (such sample, as may be adjusted in accordance with the final sentence of this clause (a), the “Selected Financed Property Sample”). The Borrowers will cooperate reasonably to enable the Diligence Agent to inspect such Financed Properties before they become occupied. If any such sample shows that any of such sampled Financed Properties are not then in compliance with the Renovation Standards in all material respects, the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders may cause the Diligence Agent to subsequently inspect all or a larger sample of the Financed Properties included in the Sample Pool in respect of such Selected Financed Property Sample to confirm compliance for such Financed Properties with the Renovation Standards in all material respects. If any such sample shows that material non-compliance with the Renovation Standards shall affect a percentage of Financed Properties (by number) in the Selected Financed Property Sample equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) and such percentage shall represent a minimum of five (5) Financed Properties (or if such material non-compliance with the Renovation Standards shall result in an overall percentage of materially non-compliant Financed Properties (by number) for all Selected Financial Property Samples equal to or greater than five percent (5%)), the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders may with respect to each future Renovation Standards Inspection cause the Diligence Agent to inspect a Selected Financed Property Sample up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Financed Properties with respect to which Notices of Completion have been delivered since the date of the last Renovation Standards Inspection to confirm compliance for such Financed Properties with the Renovation Standards.

(b)            Release of Renovation Reserves. The Administrative Agent shall, from time to time upon satisfaction by the Loan Parties of each of the Converted Property Reserve Release Conditions (or at the time provided in Section 6.11(g)), instruct the Paying Agent in writing, as applicable, to remit to the Borrower Representative the Renovation Reserves with respect to any Converted Properties, to the extent any Renovation Reserves have been funded in cash and are held in the Renovation Reserves Account, from the Renovation Reserves Account. Any Renovation Reserves funded in cash with respect to any Converted Property released under this Section 6.02(b) shall, subject to Section 6.11(e), (i) first be disbursed by the Paying Agent at the written direction of the Administrative Agent to (x) the Standing Reserves Account pursuant to Section 6.07 to the extent the Standing Reserves required for such Property have not previously been funded, (y) the Tax Reserve Account pursuant to Section 6.05 to the extent the Tax Reserves in respect of such Property on deposit in the Tax Reserve Account on such date are not in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.05; and (z) the Insurance Reserves Account pursuant to Section 6.06 to the extent the Insurance Reserves in respect of such Property on deposit in the Insurance Reserves Account on such date are not in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.06; in such proportion as between items (x), (y) and (z) above as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, and (ii) thereafter, if (A) the Actual Renovation Expenses for any such Property are equal to or in excess of the remaining Renovation Reserves for such Property, the entire amount of the Renovation Reserves for such Property shall be released by the Paying Agent to the Borrower Representative, and (B) if the Actual Renovation Expenses for such Properties are less than the Renovation Reserves for such Property, seventy five percent (75%) of the difference (or if the Allocated Loan Amount on the date of the applicable Loan for such Property was less than seventy five percent (75%) of the Purchase Price of such Property, such lesser percentage) shall be distributed at the written direction of the Administrative Agent to the Debt Service Account for application by the Paying Agent, in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrative Agent, to reduce the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property (without the payment of any exit fee), and the remainder of the Renovation Reserves for such Property shall be released by the Paying Agent as directed by the Borrower Representative in writing within five (5) days of the Paying Agent’s receipt of such written direction.

(c)            Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, instruct the Paying Agent in writing to remit all or any portion of the Renovation Reserves from the Renovation Reserves Account and apply such funds either to (i) the costs of completion of the Scheduled Renovation Work of the Financed Properties or (ii) the Allocated Loan Amount in respect of each Financed Property, pro rata to each Lender, in such proportion as between items (i) and (ii) above as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion. The right to instruct the Paying Agent in writing to remit and apply Renovation Reserves in accordance with the foregoing shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 6.03. [Reserved].

SECTION 6.04. Debt Service Reserves.

(a)            Debt Service Reserves Account. In connection with the disbursement of any Property Loan with respect to a Non-Stabilized Property, a reserve in an amount equal to four (4) months of interest that would accrue under Section 2.05(a) on the amount of such Property Loan related to such Non-Stabilized Property at the applicable Interest Rate in effect at the time of the disbursement of such Property Loan (the “Debt Service Reserves”) shall be deposited with the Paying Agent (or remitted from the proceeds of the Property Loan on such Property pursuant to Section 2.02(c)) for transfer to the Debt Service Reserves Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw all or any portion of the Debt Service Reserves or any other amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserves Account and apply such funds, on a pro rata basis in respect of each Lender, first, to pay interest on the Loans accrued and payable to such Lender and, second, to reduce the Allocated Loan Amount in respect of each Financed Property, pro rata to each Lender.

(b)            Release of Debt Service Reserves. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon a Non-Stabilized Property becoming a Stabilized Property, the Debt Service Reserves or any other amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserves Account with respect to such Property shall (i) first be disbursed by the Paying Agent, as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent to (x) the Standing Reserves Account pursuant to Section 6.07 to the extent the Standing Reserves required for such Property have not previously been funded, (y) the Tax Reserve Account pursuant to Section 6.05 to the extent the Tax Reserves in respect of such Property on deposit in the Tax Reserve Account on such date are not in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.05, and (z) the Insurance Reserves Account pursuant to Section 6.06 to the extent the Insurance Reserves in respect of such Property on deposit in the Insurance Reserves Account on such date are not in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.06, in such proportion as between items (x), (y) and (z) above as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion; and (ii) second, to the Collection Account for application in accordance with Section 2.07. Provided that a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent has not received written notice that a Default or Event of Default exists and remains uncured, the Paying Agent shall disburse the Debt Service Reserves to the Borrower Representative (as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.11(e)), with respect to a Property upon the Refinancing or Transfer of such Property and the payment in full of the applicable Release Amount with respect to such Property (or at the time provided in Section 6.11(g)).

(a)            At the time of disbursement of a Property Loan with respect to any Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development, the Borrowers shall pay to the Paying Agent (or such amounts shall be remitted from the proceeds of such Property Loan on such Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development pursuant to Section 2.02(c) or upon release of any Renovation Reserves or Debt Service Reserves with respect to any Converted Property, to the extent the Tax Reserves for such Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development have not previously been deposited or are not in compliance with this Section 6.05 on such date) for transfer to the Tax Reserve Account an amount equal to the Diligence Agent’s estimate of six (6) months of Real Estate Taxes and Applicable HOA Property Fees with respect to each Financed Property and each Financed Single Plat Development (the “Tax Reserves”) in accordance with this Section 6.05. Borrowers shall provide to the Diligence Agent and the Administrative Agent an estimate of and supporting information for the amount of the real estate taxes and Applicable HOA Property Fees for each Financed Property and each Financed Single Plat Development and of any changes thereto occurring from time to time in order for Diligence Agent to make such estimates of real estate taxes and Applicable HOA Property Fees pursuant to this Section 6.05. The Borrowers shall provide to the Diligence Agent such certificates, tax bills and other evidence as the Diligence Agent may reasonably require. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw all or any portion of the Tax Reserve from the Tax Reserve Account and apply such funds either to pay (i) real estate taxes and Applicable HOA Property Fees or (ii) the Allocated Loan Amount in respect of each Financed Property, pro rata to each Lender, in such proportion as between items (i) and (ii) above as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion. In making any payment from the Tax Reserve Account during an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or HOA, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, or Applicable HOA Property Fee or claim thereof. The right to direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw and apply Tax Reserves in accordance with the foregoing shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Provided that a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent has not received written notice that a Default or Event of Default exists and remains uncured, the Paying Agent shall disburse the Tax Reserve with respect to a Property to the Borrower Representative (as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.11(e)) upon the Refinancing or Transfer of such Property and the payment in full of the applicable Release Amount with respect to such Property (or at the time provided in Section 6.11(g)).

(b)            Release of Tax Reserves. If as of any Quarterly Determination Date the amount held in the Tax Reserve Account exceeds the amount required to be held therein pursuant to Section 6.05(a), as set forth in the most recent Monthly Borrower Report and as confirmed by the Diligence Agent (the amount of such excess, the “Excess Tax Reserves”), the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Paying Agent in writing to disburse to the Collection Account the Excess Tax Reserves from the Tax Reserve Account upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i)  the Borrower Representative shall have submitted a written request for release to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Borrower Representative requests such release be made; provided that only one such request for release shall be permitted to be made in any calendar quarter; and (ii) on the date such request is received by Administrative Agent and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured.(c)

The Diligence Agent may from time to time revise its reasonable estimate of the amount of the annual Insurance Premiums that will be payable for the renewal of the coverage provided under the Policies covering each Financed Property and Financed Single Plat Development upon the expiration thereof, based on updated information received by the Diligence Agent with respect to the anticipated amount of such Insurance Premiums. Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Diligence Agent an estimate of and supporting information for the amount of the Insurance Premiums for the Policies required to be maintained under this Agreement that relate or are otherwise allocable to each Financed Property and Financed Single Plat Development, pursuant to an allocation methodology reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Diligence Agent in the case of insurance pertaining to multiple Properties or to Borrowers generally, and of any changes thereto occurring from time to time, in order for Diligence Agent to make such estimates of Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Section 6.06. The Borrowers shall provide to the Diligence Agent such certificates, premium amounts due and other evidence as the Diligence Agent may reasonably require.

(b)      Release of Insurance Reserves.      Provided no Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall apply Insurance Reserves in the Insurance Reserves Account to reimburse Borrowers for payments of Insurance Premiums made by the Borrowers upon the presentation to the Diligence Agent of complete invoices therefor that are reasonably satisfactory to the Diligence Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw all or any portion of the Insurance Reserves from the Insurance Reserves Account and apply such funds either to pay (i)  Insurance Premiums or (ii) the Allocated Loan Amount in respect of each Financed Property, pro rata to each Lender, in such proportion as between items (i) and (ii) above as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion. In making any payment from the Insurance Reserves Account during an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. The right to direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw and apply Insurance Reserves in accordance with the foregoing shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Provided that a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent has not received written notice that a Default or Event of Default exists and remains uncured, the Paying Agent shall disburse the Insurance Reserves with respect to a Property to the Borrower Representative (as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.11(e)) upon the Refinancing or Transfer of such Property and the payment in full of the applicable Release Amount with respect to such Property (or at the time provided in Section 6.11(g)). Any Insurance Funds remaining in the Insurance Reserve Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If as of any Quarterly Determination Date the amount held in the Insurance Reserves Account exceeds the amount required to be held therein pursuant to Section 6.06(a), as set forth in the most recent Monthly Borrower Report and as confirmed by the Diligence Agent (the amount of such excess, the “Excess Insurance Reserves”), the Administrative Agent shall instruct the Paying Agent in writing to disburse to the Collection Account the Excess Insurance Reserves from the Insurance Reserves Account upon satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i)  the Borrower Representative shall have submitted a written request for release to the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Borrower Representative requests such release be made; provided that only one such request for release shall be permitted to be made in any calendar quarter; and (ii) on the date such request is received by Administrative Agent and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured.(c)

SECTION 6.07. Standing Reserves. At the time of disbursement of a Property Loan with respect to any Financed Property (or upon release of any Renovation Reserves or Debt Service Reserves with respect to any Converted Property, to the extent the full amount of Standing Reserves for such Financed Property have not previously been deposited into or are not currently on deposit in the Standing Reserves Account), the Borrowers shall pay to the Paying Agent (or such amounts shall be remitted from the proceeds of such Property Loan on such Property pursuant to Section 2.02(c) or upon release of any Renovation Reserves or Debt Service Reserves with respect to any Converted Property, to the extent the full amount of Standing Reserves for such Financed Property have not previously been deposited or are not currently on deposit in the Standing Reserves Account) for deposit into the Standing Reserves Account an amount equal to $300.00 for each Stabilized Property, which amount shall be increased (and Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days, make such additional deposits as may be required to fund such increase) to (x) as of any date falling on and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, $400 per Stabilized Property, (y) as of any date falling on and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, $500 per Stabilized Property, and (z) $650.00 for each Stabilized Property during such time period if the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than 1.30:1.00), with a minimum aggregate amount for the Standing Reserves of not less than $200,000 at any time on and after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, on deposit in the Standing Reserves Account) (the sums so deposited the “Standing Reserves”). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, or at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw all or any portion of the Standing Reserves from the Standing Reserves Account and apply such funds either to pay (i)  costs and expenses for maintenance or operation of the Properties (as determined by the Administrative Agent or any Servicing Agent in the exercise of their sole discretion acting in good faith) or (ii) the Allocated Loan Amount in respect of each Financed Property, pro rata to each Lender, in such proportion as between items (i) and (ii) above as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion. The right to direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw and apply Standing Reserves in accordance with the foregoing shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Provided that a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent has not received written notice that a Default or Event of Default exists and remains uncured, the Paying Agent shall disburse the balance of the Standing Reserves with respect to a Property to the Borrower Representative (as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.11(e)) upon the Refinancing or Transfer of such Property and the payment in full of the applicable Release Amount with respect to such Property.

SECTION 6.08. Special Reserves. In the event that the Borrowers shall be required pursuant to this Agreement to set aside adequate reserves in connection with any potential liability by depositing such amounts into the Special Reserves Account (the “Special Reserves”), the Borrowers shall provide the Calculation Agent with written notice of any such Special Reserves, and simultaneously with such notice shall deposit such Special Reserves with the Paying Agent for transfer to the Special Reserves Account. Upon the release, discharge or termination of the liability with respect to which such Special Reserves were established (including upon payment thereof with the proceeds of such Special Reserves), as established by such certificates of the Borrower Representative, invoices and other evidence as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, then provided that a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent has not received written notice that a Default or Event of Default exists and remains uncured, Paying Agent shall disburse the amount of such Special Reserves to the Borrower Representative (as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.11(e)).

SECTION 6.09. [Reserved].

SECTION 6.10. Debt Service Account. The Administrative Agent shall designate and establish the Debt Service Account for the deposit by the Borrowers of payments of interest, fees and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, other amounts due Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or any other Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Paying Agent shall distribute amounts from the Debt Service Account in accordance with the written instruction of the Administrative Agent (which may be in electronic form) received no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of distribution.

SECTION 6.11. Reserve Accounts Generally.

(a)            During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent) may direct the Paying Agent in writing to apply any or all the Reserves and other sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Accounts to the payment of the Allocated Loan Amount in respect of each Financed Property, pro rata to each Lender. The right to direct the Paying Agent in writing to withdraw and apply amounts in the Reserve Accounts in accordance with the foregoing shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)            All interest or other earnings on Reserves shall be added to and become a part of such Reserves and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in the applicable Reserve Account. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower Representative shall have the right to direct the investment of sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts in Permitted Investments if (i) such investments are permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and (ii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserves are required for payment of an obligation for which the applicable Reserve Account was created. Absent the written instruction of the Borrower Representative, the funds on deposit in the Reserve Accounts shall remain uninvested; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to direct the investment of sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts in Permitted Investments. The Borrowers shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other Taxes applicable to the interest earned on the Reserves credited or paid to any Borrower; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, such Taxes may be paid from the applicable Reserves, as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.11(e). No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 6.11(b) or Section 2.07(d). Any costs of the account, including with respect to making Permitted Investments in accordance herewith, shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the Borrowers within five (5) Business Days of written demand by the Administrative Agent.

(c)            The Paying Agent shall hold each Reserve Account for the benefit of the Secured Parties and Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents, and each Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Each Reserve Account shall be established and entitled as determined by Administrative Agent (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), including, as Administrative Agent elects, as a sub-account of the Collection Account. The Paying Agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from each Reserve Account.

(d)            The Administrative Agent and Paying Agent shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserves or maintained in the Reserve Accounts. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and Paying Agent and hold the Administrative Agent and Paying Agent harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Accounts or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Accounts were established, including the cost of pursuing the enforcement of this indemnification (including reasonable and documented external attorneys’ fees and expenses); except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable. The Borrowers shall assign to the Administrative Agent all rights and claims the Borrowers may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Accounts; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

(e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, disbursements of Reserves to the Borrower Representative or any Loan Party shall only occur on the Reserve Release Date upon (i) receipt by the Calculation Agent, the Diligence Agent and the Administrative Agent of a Reserve Release Request from the Borrower Representative not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such date, (ii) delivery by the Calculation Agent to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders of a report setting forth the results of any applicable calculations required in connection with such Reserve Release Request (the “Reserve Release Request Report”) by no later than three (3) Business Days prior to such date, (iii) receipt by the Administrative Agent of a confirmation from the Diligence Agent of satisfaction of the Converted Property Reserve Release Conditions, as applicable, by no later than three (3) Busines Days prior to such date, and (iv) receipt by the Paying Agent of written instructions provided by the Administrative Agent for the disbursement of funds not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to such date and following the satisfaction of all applicable conditions to the release of such Reserves under this Article VI (which written instructions the Administrative Agent agrees to deliver promptly upon receipt of payment instructions from the Borrower Representative); provided, that if the amount of Reserves to be released to the Borrowers on any Reserve Release Date is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, then such Reserves shall continue to be maintained in the Reserve Accounts until the next Reserve Release Date on which an amount equal to or greater than the Minimum Disbursement Amount is available for disbursement or until the Final Collection Date.

(f)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of the Final Collection Date, the Administrative Agent shall instruct in writing the Paying Agent to release all amounts in any Reserve Account to the Borrower Representative.

(g)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, in connection with any prepayment required by Section 2.06(b)(v) or (vi) (including in connection with any cure of a Default or an Event of Default), upon the written request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall instruct in writing the Paying Agent to release any related Renovation Reserves, Debt Service Reserves, Special Debt Service Reserves, Tax Reserve and Insurance Reserves associated with the Financed Properties and Financed Single Plat Developments that are the subject to such prepayment.

SECTION 6.12. Sponsor Reporting. The Loan Parties shall cause each Sponsor to furnish the following financial reports to the Administrative Agent (and post copies of such financial reports to a data site):

SECTION 7.02. Remedies.

(a)            If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and shall at the request of the Majority Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower Representative, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Aggregate Commitment, and thereupon the Aggregate Commitment shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare all or any portion of the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable, whereupon all or such portion of the outstanding principal of the Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all fees and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by law; and exercise any and all of its other rights and remedies under applicable law, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(e), without any notice to the Borrower Representative or any other Person or any act by Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Aggregate Commitment shall automatically terminate and all outstanding principal of the Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all fees and all other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become due and payable automatically and immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived to the extent permitted by law. Upon any such declaration or automatic occurrence, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, but subject to the following sentence and the limitations set forth in this Article VII and Section 10.09 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) no Secured Party is subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to any Secured Party shall remain in full force and effect until each Secured Party has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and any Mortgages have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.

(b)            With respect to the Borrowers and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring any Secured Party to resort to any Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Obligations in any preference or priority to any other Collateral, and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent (or any other applicable Secured Party at the direction of the Administrative Agent) may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in the absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations. In addition, the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent (or any other applicable Secured Party at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall have the right from time to time during an Event of Default to partially foreclose any or all of any Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by any Mortgages then due and payable as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. During the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.01 or any other monetary Event of Default, the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent (or any other applicable Secured Party at the direction of the Administrative Agent) may during an Event of Default foreclose any or all of the Mortgages to recover the applicable delinquent payments. If, pursuant to its rights set forth in this Section 7.02, the Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loans, the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent (or any other applicable Secured Party at the direction of the Administrative Agent) may foreclose any or all of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loans as may be accelerated and such other portions of the Obligations as the Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding any partial foreclosures, the Financed Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.

(c)            Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent or other applicable Secured Party at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall have the right from time to time to sever a Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent or other applicable Secured Party at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (or, if the Administrative Agent shall so instruct, the Collateral Agent) from time to time, promptly after the request of the Administrative Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as the Administrative Agent (or other applicable Secured Party at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent). The Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to execute the Severed Loan Documents (the Borrowers ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof). The Borrowers are and shall remain obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents.

(d)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent) on behalf of the Secured Parties without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or required under any Loan Document) to or upon a Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, auction or office of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions and at prices that are consistent with the prevailing market for similar collateral as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including Section 9-504(1)(c) of the UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrowers.

(e)            Subject to Article IX, during an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall take such actions and pursue such remedies under the Loan Documents, including this Section 7.02, as the Majority Lenders shall direct. Any action by the Administrative Agent related to the Security Deposit Account shall be in accordance with applicable law and the applicable Lease.

SECTION 7.03. Appointment as Attorney in Fact.

(a)            Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, effective during the continuation of any Event of Default, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Loan Party and in the name of such Loan Party or in its own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby gives the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent) the power and right, on behalf of such Loan Party, without assent by, but with notice to, such Loan Party, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:

(i)            in the name of such Loan Party or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii)            to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; and

(iii)            (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) to ask or demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Loan Parties with respect to any Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent) may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the option of the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent) and the Loan Parties’ expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent) deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lien of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Loan Parties might do.

The Loan Parties hereby ratify all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Final Collection Date.

(b)            The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to the Loan Parties for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

SECTION 7.04. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 8.01. Indemnities by the Loan Parties. Without limiting any other rights which any Affected Party may have hereunder or under applicable law (including the right to recover damages for breach of contract), the Loan Parties hereby agree to indemnify on a joint and several basis each of the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable external attorneys’ fees and disbursements (which shall be limited to attorneys’ fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) and Taxes (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party to the extent relating to or arising from or as a result of this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Loans made by a Lender hereunder subject to the proviso set forth below. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Indemnified Amounts to the extent relating to or resulting from any of the following:

(i)            the failure of any Property represented by any Borrower to be an Eligible Property hereunder to be an “Eligible Property” at the time of such representation;

(ii)            reliance on any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Relevant Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party which shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made;

(iii)            the failure by any Relevant Party to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is party or with any applicable Legal Requirement with respect to any Property or Collateral, or the nonconformity of any Property or Collateral with any such Legal Requirement;

(iv)            the failure to pay when due any Taxes, including sales, excise or personal property Taxes payable by any Loan Party in connection with any Property or Collateral;

(v)            the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, whether existing at the time such Collateral arose or at any time thereafter;

(vi)            the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the applicable UCC or other applicable laws naming the applicable Borrower as “Debtor” with respect to any Collateral;

(vii)            the commingling of Collections with any other funds;

(viii)            any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of Loans made pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document delivered hereunder or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(ix)            the grant by any Borrower of a security interest in any Collateral in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation;

provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses (x) directly resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (y) constituting Excluded Taxes. Any amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.01 shall be paid by the Loan Parties to the related Indemnified Party within five (5) Business Days following written demand therefor.

SECTION 8.02. Limited Liability of Parties. No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Loan Parties, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. It is understood and agreed that any statement in this Agreement that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Servicing Agent “will” or “shall” perform any action hereunder shall not be construed as a covenant of such Person in favor of any Loan Party.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; THE COLLATERAL AGENT

SECTION 9.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent (and, upon designation thereof by the Administrative Agent, each Servicing Agent) to take such action as agent on its behalf (including execution of the other Loan Documents) and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent (or such Servicing Agent) by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf with respect to the Mortgages (including execution of any Mortgages) and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except for the Borrowers’ rights to approve a successor Administrative Agent as provided in Section 9.07, the provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders (except to the extent that the provisions of Section 9.07 benefit the Borrowers and/or the Borrower Representative) and the Borrowers shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the other provisions hereof. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent) is required to exercise in writing including as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement); provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of the Bankruptcy Code, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Relevant Party, or any of their respective Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

SECTION 9.02. Agents’ Reliance, Etc. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with this Agreement (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its or their own gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, by a Borrower or a Lender, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.

SECTION 9.03. Agents and Affiliates. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Persons were not Lenders and/or Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any Lender.

SECTION 9.04. Lender’s Loan Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and, if it so determines, to make Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.05. Delegation of Duties. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement by or through sub-agents, service providers or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents, service providers (including any Servicing Agents) or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Loan Parties will reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for any fees, costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, with respect to any agents, service providers or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 9.06. Indemnification. Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, advisors and sub-agents and the parent company or holding company that controls such Person (the “Indemnified Agent Parties”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties, the Equity Owners pursuant to the Equity Owner Guaranty or a Sponsor pursuant to its Sponsor Guaranty), ratably according to such Lender’s Lender Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnified Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Indemnified Agent Party under this Agreement; provided, that no Lender shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Agent Party to the extent of any amounts resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Agent Party. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, ratably according to such Lender’s Lender Percentage, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Successor Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower Representative, each Lender and each other party hereto, resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. Any successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Administrative Agent subject to providing notice thereof to the Lenders and the absence of objection thereto by the Majority Lenders within five (5) Business Days after being notified thereof (or such shorter period in which the Majority Lenders consent thereto) and upon such appointment such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and references herein to the Collateral Agent shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment; and such former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties in such capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. If any party shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then, the Supermajority Lenders and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower Representative, during such thirty-day period shall appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and references herein to the Administrative Agent shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment; and such former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties in such capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as such agent, the provisions of Article VIII, this Article IX and Section 10.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement. Any successor Administrative Agent that is not a Lender must be a nationally-recognized financial institution that provides administrative agency services in the ordinary course of its business.

SECTION 9.08. Enforcement and Collateral Matters.

(a)            The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent) shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)            Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in such capacity is a “representative” and “agent” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party, each Sponsor Guaranty and the Equity Owner Guaranty and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document or any rights granted under any Sponsor Guaranty or the Equity Owner Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent) for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of such documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized, and is hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent (and the Collateral Agent as directed by the Administrative Agent), at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent) upon any Collateral (i) as described in Section 2.17; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 10.01(a)(iii) shall not apply to any exercise of rights or remedies by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders shall confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s (or the Collateral Agent’s) authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) take, or shall instruct the Collateral Agent to take, such actions as set forth in Section 2.17; provided, however, that (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may require the Borrowers to confirm prior to any release that such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of the sale (as and to the extent provided above), all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

SECTION 9.09. Erroneous Payments.

(a)            Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Prime Index Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)            Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (y) that such Lender otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, such Erroneous Payment was an error (and that such Lender is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of receipt of such Erroneous Payment) and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than (1) one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Prime Index Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c)            Each Lender, each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of or against such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party except to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Loan Parties for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(d)            Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of any commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(xiii)            other than in connection with a transfer permitted under Section 5.05(c) or Section 5.05(f), consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Loan Parties or any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement or of any of their right, title or interest in or to the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender; or

(xiv)            amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of “Sponsor Financial Covenants” or waive any provision of Section 5.06, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, or amend or modify (but not waive) any provision of Section 5.06 without the written consent of each Lender;

provided, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, powers, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities, or, except to a de minimis extent, duties of the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, and written notice of any other amendment or waiver hereunder shall be delivered to the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent via email at the addresses set forth on Schedule III hereto at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of the amendment unless the Borrower received such amendment less than three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date, in which case such amendment shall be provided to the Calculation Agent and Paying Agent no later than on the same Business Day received by the Borrower. Neither the Calculation Agent nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability for any amendment, supplement or waiver of which it did not receive notice. To the extent any amendment affects the rights, powers, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities or duties of the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent, all reasonable fee, costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent in reviewing such amendment or waiver shall be paid or reimbursed by the Borrowers. For purposes of this Section 10.01, each Approved Participant to whom a related Assigning Lender assigned its voting rights shall be deemed to be a “Lender” whose consent shall be required to the same extent as consent of any other Lender that would otherwise be required.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01(a), guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower Representative without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)            Additional State-Specific Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.01(a) above, (i) if any Financed Properties or Financed Single Plat Developments are located in any State other than Indiana, Missouri or Texas, or (ii) if the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that any State-specific provisions set forth in Section 10.18 do not adequately reflect provisions that address local law matters for any applicable State, in each case as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, with the written consent of the Borrowers, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent or any Lender, may amend Section 10.18 of this Agreement to include additional State-specific provisions that address local law matters for such State that are customarily addressed in financing agreements for single family rental securitizations. The Administrative Agent shall provide written notice to the Loan Parties, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent and the Lenders of any such amendment. No consent of any other Loan Party, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, any Lender or any other Person shall be required for any such amendment to become effective.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.01, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the rights, privileges, protections, indemnities, duties or interests of the Lenders, the Calculation Agent or the Paying Agent. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice of any such amendment to the Lenders, the Calculation Agent and the Paying Agent.

SECTION 10.02. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including communication by electronic mail) and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier or by electronic mail, to each party hereto, at its address set forth on Schedule III or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be effective, upon receipt, or in the case of overnight courier, two (2) days after being deposited with such courier, or, in the case of notice by electronic mail, when electronic confirmation of receipt is obtained, in each case addressed as aforesaid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any notice of Default or Event of Default, or any notice stating that there is an event, condition, failure or deficiency which if not cured would, with appropriate notice, if any, or expiration of any cure period, if any, be a Default or Event of Default, delivered by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Servicing Agent or any Lender to any Relevant Party shall be personally delivered or sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier.

SECTION 10.03. Assignability.

(a)            Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (provided that no assignments shall be made to any Loan Party or its Affiliates or to a natural Person or, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to a competitor) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; it being acknowledged and agreed that it will be reasonable for the Borrower Representative to withhold its consent to any assignment that includes any unfunded commitment to an entity that does not either have a rating of its senior unsecured debt obligations of not less than investment grade or assets in excess of $2,000,000,000) and the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent shall be required (x) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (y) during any Extension Term or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for an assignment to any other assignee (in each case, subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.03(a)); provided, further, that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for any assignment to any assignee that is in the business of owning and renting single family homes in the United States or to any Affiliate of any such entity (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Borrower).

(b)            With respect to any assignment hereunder

(i)            each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, and

(ii)            the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500.

(c)            Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (y) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). At all times during which any Loan is outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a register as provided herein (the “Register”). The names and addresses of the Lenders, the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance (and stated interest) and any interests therein, and any Assignments and Acceptances of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance or any interest therein delivered to and accepted by the Administrative Agent, shall be registered in the Register, and the Register shall serve as a record of ownership that identifies the owner of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balances and any interest therein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no transfer of the Aggregate Loan Principal Balances or any interest therein shall be effective unless and until such transfer has been recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. This Section 10.03(c) shall be construed so that the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance and any interest therein is maintained at all times in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code. Solely for the purposes of this Section 10.03(c), the Administrative Agent will act as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)            Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers and to the Calculation Agent.

(e)            Any Lender may, without the consent of any Loan Party (except in the case of participations to Approved Participants as described below), at no cost to any Loan Party, sell participations to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding Loans); provided that following the sale of a participation under this Agreement (i) the obligations of such Lender shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Participant shall not have any right to direct the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) increases the Commitment participated to such Participant, (ii) reduces the amount of principal or Interest that is payable on account of any Loan or delays any scheduled date for payment thereof, (iii) reduces any fees payable by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent (to the extent relating to payments to the Participant) or delays any scheduled date for payment of such fees, (iv) extends the Maturity Date (other than pursuant to an Extension Term), (v) other than as permitted by this Agreement, releases the security interest in substantially all of the Collateral or releases guarantees of all or substantially all Guarantors or (vi)  amends, modifies or waives any provision of the definition of “Majority Lenders” or Section 10.01. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any Lender’s source of funds may derive in part from its Participants. Accordingly, references in Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to the Lenders shall be deemed also to include those of its Participants. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13(f) it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender by the Lender that sold the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sales of participations to Approved Participants shall be subject to prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that no Participant shall have the additional rights and obligations granted to each “Approved Participant” under this Agreement unless the assignment to such Participant has been approved by the Borrower Representative and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the related assigning Lender has assigned its voting rights to such Participant) as further described in the definition of “Approved Participant”. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, at any time no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for any participation to any participant that is in the business of owning and renting single family homes in the United States or to any Affiliate of any such entity (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Borrower).

(f)            The Loan Parties may not assign any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders.

(g)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including rights to payment of the principal balance of the Loans and Interest with respect thereto) hereunder to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall (x) release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto or (y) create any additional, or modify any existing, obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 10.04. Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a)            Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, whether in law or equity, or whether in contract or tort or otherwise, against any other party or any other Person in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Servicing Agent party hereto submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction, of such courts and agrees that any such action, litigation or proceeding may be brought in any such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Collateral or any Financed Properties or Financed Single Plat Developments in the courts of any jurisdiction where any such Collateral or Financed Property or Financed Single Plat Development is located.

(b)            Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court referred to in Section 10.04(a). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 10.05. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.05 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. Subject to Section 10.07, each Secured Party is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Secured Party to, or for the account of, such Borrower against the amount of the Obligations owing by such Borrower to such Person.

SECTION 10.07. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Obligations in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable share of such payment, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Obligations so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of such Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

SECTION 10.08. Limitation of Liability.

(a)            No claim may be made by any party hereto against any other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent such damages are recovered by third parties in connection with claims made by third parties that are indemnified under this Agreement; and each party hereto hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations shall not be applicable to (i) interest, fees or other amounts that are due and payable under the Loan Documents or (ii) damages that are recovered by third parties in connection with claims made by such third parties that constitute amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of Article VIII.

(b)            No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any party contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of such party or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement and each other Loan Document is solely a corporate obligation of such party, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any party or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such party contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by any party of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement and each other Loan Document; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or fraudulent omissions made by them. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any Relevant Party is a member, manager, partner, trustee, beneficiary or agent of any other Relevant Party, nothing in this paragraph shall limit such Relevant Party’s obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

SECTION 10.09. Costs, Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification under Article VIII, the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, agree to pay to or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Diligence Agent and each Lender promptly after written demand therefor (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Diligence Agent and each Lender in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including any requested amendments, waivers or consents) of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered in connection herewith, including all due diligence expenses (whether pre-closing, in connection with any Borrowing Request or otherwise, including the cost of obtaining Broker Price Opinions, inspections of Properties, title insurance, Surveys, Engineering Reports, Environmental Reports, Zoning Reports or with respect to cash management audits of the Loan Parties), and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender, the Collateral Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent and the Diligence Agent with respect thereto and advising the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent, the Diligence Agent and each Lender as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other agreements executed in connection herewith, (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement (including any enforcement of this indemnification) or protection of their rights under this Agreement and the other agreements and documents to be delivered in connection herewith and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Diligence Agent in connection with monthly lien searches related to the Eligible Properties which lien searches shall be performed in accordance with the lien search process agreed to on the Closing Date (it being understood that any failure by the Diligence Agent to follow such lien search process does not relieve the Loan Parties from its obligation to pay the amounts set forth in this clause (iii)).

SECTION 10.10. Confidentiality.

(a)            By accepting delivery of this Agreement, the Borrowers agree not to disclose to any Person the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any pricing and other terms provided by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders) or the amount or terms of any fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (collectively, the “Product Information”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transactions”), except (i) to its and Affiliates’ and direct and indirect equity owners and to its and its Affiliates’ and direct and indirect equity owners’ officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants, tax advisors, legal counsel and other representatives (collectively, the “Borrower Parties”) who have a need to know the Product Information in connection with the Transaction or management of the Properties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Product Information and instructed to keep such Product Information confidential), (ii) in connection with any legal or regulatory action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the exercise of any remedies hereunder, (iii) to the extent required by applicable law, regulation (including any stock exchange or related regulatory requirement), subpoena or other legal process (provided that the Product Information shall be redacted in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Lenders to the extent permitted under such applicable law, regulation, subpoena or other legal process) or in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Loan Parties or any Borrower Parties, (v) in connection with any due diligence request, (vi) to any Rating Agency; provided, in each case in this clause (vi), such recipients agree to be bound by the provisions of this section applicable to the Loan Parties or (vii) to the extent approved by the Administrative Agent in writing.

(b)            The Administrative Agent, the Diligence Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent and the Lenders shall not disclose to any Person the confidential or proprietary information regarding the business or Properties of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party furnished to the Administrative Agent, the Diligence Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent or any Lender the Lenders in connection with the Transaction (collectively, the “Borrower Information”), except (i) to their respective Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel, tax advisors and other representatives (collectively, the “Lender Representatives”) who have a need to know the Borrower Information for the purpose of assisting in the negotiation and completion of the Transaction and who agree to be bound by the provisions in this section applicable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, (ii) to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, subpoena or other legal process or in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) to the extent requested or pursuant to supervisory oversight by any governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lenders or any Lender Representative, (iv) to any Rating Agency, including in compliance with Rule 17g-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any similar rule or regulation in any relevant jurisdiction, (v) to any Servicing Agent, Administrative Agent, Diligence Agent, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent, the Counterparty, any Approved Counterparty or any Lender or any other Person that is involved in the administration of the Transaction, (vi) which is recorded and filed in public records by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or (vii) to any assignee, prospective assignee, participant or prospective participant which is not prohibited from being an assignee or participant and which agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth herein. The Administrative Agent, the Diligence Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Paying Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, will be responsible for any failure of any related Lender Representative to comply with the provisions of this clause (b).

SECTION 10.11. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, privilege, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, privilege, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, privilege, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 10.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers and each other Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.

The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent, the Diligence Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Relevant Parties, their equityholders and/or their Affiliates. Each Relevant Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and such Relevant Party, its equityholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Relevant Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Relevant Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Relevant Party, its equityholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Relevant Party, its equityholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Relevant Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Relevant Party, its management, equityholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Relevant Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

SECTION 10.22. Lender Communications; Lender Objections. (a) Communications. On the Closing Date, promptly following request therefor from any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide to such Lender a complete list of Lenders, including each Lender’s contact information, as such list may be supplemented by the Administrative Agent from time to time by notice to the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Lenders may communicate with each other concerning any matters relating to the Transactions, whether for the purpose of approving or objecting to matters under the Loan Documents, protecting their rights and interests, enforcing remedies or otherwise.

(b)            Objections. In order for a Lender to exercise its objection rights granted by this Agreement, such objection shall be substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit J (the “Lender Objection”) and shall satisfy the following conditions: (i) such objection shall be in writing and executed by each of the Lenders exercising such objection right, (ii) such objection shall specify the nature of the objection, (iii) such objection shall be posted within the applicable timeframe provided by this Agreement (if any) in a sub-folder designated for formal objections on an internet data site to which all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have access, (iv) the objecting Lenders shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time of posting of such objection, (v) such objection shall specify that the objecting Lenders hold the minimum required percentage of Aggregate Commitment necessary to raise such an objection as provided in this Agreement, and (vi) such objection shall provide contact information for each of the objecting Lenders (any objection that satisfies each of the foregoing conditions, a “Formal Objection”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any one or more Lenders shall be permitted to post their objections in accordance with the conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iv) and (vi) above; provided any such objections shall be posted in a sub-folder designated for initial objections on an internet data site to which all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have access (any such objection, an “Initial Objection”). No Initial Objection shall constitute a Formal Objection pursuant to which the Lenders exercise their objection rights granted by this Agreement until such time as such objection meets each of the requirements of a Formal Objection (including but not limited to being posted in a sub-folder designated for formal objections on an internet data site to which all of the Lenders, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent have access).

SECTION 10.23. Access to Information. Concurrently with the delivery of any notice, report, valuation, inspection, Property File, document or other deliverable under this Agreement (other than any reports, documents or other deliverables in connection with any Initial Borrowing Request or a Modified Borrowing Request), the other Loan Documents or the servicer agreement between the Administrative Agent and the Diligence Agent, the party required to provide such notice or deliver such deliverable, including the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, the Calculation Agent and the Diligence Agent, shall post the same to an internet data site to which all of the Lenders have access and which provides prompt email notification to the Lenders of such posting. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Paying Agent and the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to maintain its own website for such purpose so long as the conditions with respect to access thereto set forth this Section 10.23 are satisfied. Any notice or deliverable required to be delivered by any Relevant Party shall be deemed to be delivered on the date such notice or deliverable is posted to the internet data site if posted prior to 4:00 p.m. New York time on such date.

SECTION 10.24. NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT.  THIS WRITTEN 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 OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

SECTION 10.25. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)            the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)            the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)            a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)            a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)            the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 10.26. Time is of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement of which time is an element.

SECTION 10.27. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).

In the event a Covered Person that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

1.3            Nature of Guaranty. This Agreement is an irrevocable, absolute and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Agreement may not be revoked by the Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by such Guarantor. This Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative Agent, and, to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents, any Secured Party and any subsequent holder of any Obligations (or any part thereof or interest therein) and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of any Loan. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Administrative Agent has confirmed in writing that the Final Collection Date has occurred.

1.4            Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of any other Relevant Party, or any other party, against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise, except for the defense of the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full in cash by the Borrowers or the Guarantor.

1.5            Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, the Guarantor shall, promptly and, in any event within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Administrative Agent, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be made, given and deemed received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

1.6            No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for any Secured Party (and the Guarantor hereby waives any rights which such Guarantor may have to require any Secured Party), in order to enforce the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any other Relevant Party or others liable for amounts due under the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (b) institute suit or exhaust its remedies with respect to the Obligations or any Person, (c) enforce the Administrative Agent’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Obligations, (d) enforce the Administrative Agent’s rights against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, (e) join any other Relevant Party or any others liable for amounts due under the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Agreement, (f) exhaust any remedies available to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party against any collateral which shall ever have been given, or (g) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall not be, and no Secured Party shall be, required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.

1.7            Waivers. The Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notice of (a) any loans or advances made to any Loan Party, (b) acceptance of this Agreement, (c) any amendment or extension of the Loan Agreement, any Mortgage, if applicable, or of any other Loan Documents, (d) the execution and delivery by any Loan Party or other Person and any Secured Party of any other loan or credit agreement or of any Borrower’s or any Loan Party’s or other Person’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with any Property, (e) any Secured Party’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (f) the occurrence of any Default or an Event of Default, (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral under the Loan Documents, (h) protest, proof of non-payment or default by any other Relevant Party or others liable for amounts due under the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations and (i) any other action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, and, generally, all demands and notices (other than notices required to be delivered to the Guarantor under any Loan Document) of every kind in connection with this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

1.8            Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, any Secured Party must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by such Secured Party in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any part thereof), as set forth herein, all obligations under this Agreement with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time and remain in full force and effect and any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Agreement with respect to such payment given to the Guarantor shall be without effect. It is the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor that the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by the Guarantor’s payment of such obligations and then only to the extent of such payment.

1.9            Construction. The terms “Borrower”, “Loan Party” or “Relevant Party” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of such Borrower, Loan Party or Relevant Party or any interest in such Borrower, Loan Party or Relevant Party. For the avoidance of doubt, any act or omission of any Designated Party, or any occurrence with respect to any Relevant Party, in each case referred to in Section 1.2 hereof as giving rise to a Guaranteed Obligation, shall give rise to a Guaranteed Obligation notwithstanding whether the same occurs or is omitted with respect to any one or more Designated Party or Relevant Party. For the avoidance of doubt, without any implication to the contrary, any event shall be deemed “in contravention of” a Loan Document if it constitutes an Event of Default under such Loan Document.
