4.1. Casualty Insurance. Borrower shall at all times keep the Collateral insured for the benefit of Lender as follows, despite Governmental Requirements that may detrimentally affect Borrower’s ability to obtain or may materially increase the cost of such insurance coverage:

 

4.1.1.

4.1.6. If applicable, against damage or loss by earthquake, in an amount and with a deductible satisfactory to Lender, if such insurance is required by Lender in the exercise of its business judgment in light of the commercial real estate practices existing at the time the insurance is issued and in the County where the Collateral is located.

Borrower shall procure and maintain workers’ compensation insurance for Borrower’s employees, public liability and comprehensive general liability insurance (owner’s and if required by Lender, general contractor’s) covering Borrower, and Lender against claims for bodily injury or death or for damage occurring in, on, about, or resulting from the Real Property Collateral, or any street, drive, sidewalk, curb, or passageway adjacent to it, in standard form and with such insurance company or companies and in an amount of at least as Lender may require, which insurance shall include completed operations, product liability, and blanket contractual liability coverage that insures contractual liability under the indemnifications set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents (but such coverage or its amount shall in no way limit such indemnification).

4.4. Form of Policies. All insurance policies required under this Section shall be fully paid for and nonassessable. The policies shall contain such provisions, endorsements, and expiration dates as Lender from time to time reasonably requests and shall be in such form and amounts, and be issued by such insurance companies doing business in the State where the Collateral is located, as Lender shall approve in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Unless otherwise expressly approved in writing by Lender, each insurer shall have a claims-paying or financial strength rating that satisfies the Insurance Rating Requirements. (All policies shall (a) contain a waiver of subrogation endorsement; (b) provide that the policy will not lapse or be canceled, amended, or materially altered (including by reduction in the scope or limits of coverage) without at least 30 days prior written notice to Lender; (c) with the exception of the comprehensive general liability policy, contain a mortgagee’s endorsement (438 BFU Endorsement or equivalent), and name Lender as insured; and (d) include such deductibles as Lender may approve. If a policy required under this Section contains a co-insurance or overage clause, the policy shall include a stipulated value or agreed amount endorsement acceptable to Lender.

 

4.5. Duplicate Originals or Certificates. Duplicate original policies evidencing the insurance required herein and any additional insurance that may be purchased on the Collateral by or on behalf of Borrower shall be deposited with and held by Lender and, in addition, Borrower shall deliver to Lender (a) receipts evidencing payment of all premiums on the policies and (b) duplicate original renewal policies or a binder with evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all premiums at least 30 days before the policy expires. In lieu of the duplicate original policies to be delivered to Lender provided for herein, Borrower may deliver an underlier of any blanket policy, and Borrower may also deliver original certificates from the issuing insurance company, evidencing that such policies are in full force and effect and containing information that, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, is sufficient to allow Lender to ascertain whether such policies comply with the requirements herein.

 

4.6. Increased Coverage. If Lender determines that the limits of any insurance carried by Borrower are inadequate or that additional coverage is required, Borrower shall, within 10 days after written notice from Lender, procure such additional coverage as Lender may require in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

4.7. No Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not carry separate or additional insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required herein unless endorsed in favor of Lender as required by this Section and otherwise approved by Lender in all respects.

 

4.8. Transfer of Title. In the event of foreclosure of any Collateral or other transfer of title or assignment of any Collateral in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Secured Obligations and the Indebtedness, all right, title, and interest of Borrower in and to all insurance policies required herein or otherwise then in force with respect to the Collateral and all proceeds payable under, and unearned premiums on, such policies shall immediately vest in the purchaser or other transferee of the Collateral.

 

4.9. Replacement Cost. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Full Insurable Value” means the actual cost of replacing the Collateral in question, without allowance for depreciation, as calculated from time to time (but not more often than once every calendar year) by the insurance company or companies holding such insurance or, at Lender’s request, by appraisal made by an appraiser, engineer, architect, or contractor proposed by Borrower and approved by said insurance company or companies and Lender. Borrower shall pay the cost of such appraisal.

 

4.10. No Warranty. No approval by Lender of any insurer may be construed to be a representation, certification, or warranty of its solvency and no approval by Lender as to the amount, type, or form of any insurance may be construed to be a representation, certification, or warranty of its sufficiency.

 

4.11. Lender’s Right to Obtain. Borrower shall deliver to Lender original policies or certificates evidencing such insurance at least 30 days before the existing policies expire. If any such policy is not so delivered to Lender or if any such policy is canceled, whether or not Lender has the policy in its possession, and no reinstatement or replacement policy is received before termination of insurance, Lender, without notice to or demand on Borrower, may (but is not obligated to) obtain such insurance insuring only Lender with such company as Lender may deem satisfactory, and pay the premium for such policies, and the amount of any premium so paid shall be charged to and promptly paid by Borrower or, at Lender’s option, may be added to the Indebtedness. Borrower acknowledges that, if Lender obtains insurance, it is for the sole benefit of Lender, and Borrower shall not rely on any insurance obtained by Lender to protect Borrower in any way.

5.1.2. Recordkeeping. Borrower shall keep adequate records and books of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently throughout the period reported and shall permit Lender, by its agents, accountants, and attorneys, to examine Borrower’s records and books of account and to discuss the affairs, finances, and accounts of Borrower with the officers of Borrower, at such reasonable times as Lender may request.

5.1.4. No Waiver of Default or Rights. Lender’s exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein shall not constitute a waiver of, or operate to cure, any default by Borrower under this Agreement, or preclude any other right or remedy that is otherwise available to Lender under this Agreement or Governmental Requirements.

 

5.2. Borrower’s Obligation to Notify Lender.

 

5.2.1. Bankruptcy, Insolvency, Transfer, or Encumbrance. Borrower shall notify Lender in writing, at or before the time of the occurrence of any Event of Default, of such event and shall promptly furnish Lender with any and all information on such event that Lender may request.

 

5.2.2. Government Notice. Borrower shall give immediate written notice to Lender of any notice, proceeding or inquiry by any Governmental Authority. Borrower shall provide such notice to Lender within five (5) days of Borrower’s knowledge, constructive or actual, of any such notice, proceeding or inquiry by any Government Authority.

 

5.3. Funds for Taxes, Insurance, and other Impositions. If Borrower is in default under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether the default has been cured, then Lender may at any subsequent time, at its option to be exercised on 30 days written notice to Borrower, require Borrower to deposit with Lender or its designee, at the time of each payment of an installment of interest or principal under the Note, an additional amount sufficient to discharge the Impositions (as defined in the Security Instrument) as they become due. The calculation of the amount payable and of the fractional part of it to be deposited with Lender shall be made by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. These amounts shall be held by Lender or its designee not in trust and not as agent of Borrower and shall not bear interest, and shall be applied to the payment of any of the Impositions (as defined in the Security Instrument) under the Loan Documents in such order or priority as Lender shall determine. If at any time within 30 days before the due date of these obligations the amounts then on deposit shall be insufficient to pay the obligations under the Note and this Agreement in full, Borrower shall deposit the amount of the deficiency with Lender within 10 days after Lender’s demand. If the amounts deposited are in excess of the actual obligations for which they were deposited, Lender may refund any such excess, or, at its option, may hold the excess in a reserve account, not in trust and not bearing interest, and reduce proportionately the required monthly deposits for the ensuing year. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Lender under any other provision of this Agreement or under any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid to the Indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument. Lender shall have no obligation to pay insurance premiums or taxes except to the extent the fund established under this Section is sufficient to pay such premiums or taxes, to obtain insurance, or to notify Borrower of any matters relative to the insurance or taxes for which the fund is established under this Section.

 

Lender or its designee shall hold all amounts so deposited as additional security for the sums secured by the Security Instrument. Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under the Security Instrument, apply such amounts or any portion of it to any Indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument, and such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Agreement, or any other Loan Document.

 

If Lender requires deposits to be made under this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all tax bills, bond and assessment statements, statements for insurance premiums, and statements for any other obligations referred to above as soon as Borrower receives such documents.

 

If Lender sells or assigns the Loan, Lender shall have the right to transfer all amounts deposited under this Section to the purchaser or assignee. After such a transfer, Lender shall be relieved and have no further liability under this Agreement for the application of such deposits, and Borrower shall look solely to such purchaser or assignee for such application and for all responsibility relating to such deposits.

 

5.4. Compliance with Law. Borrower shall: (a) maintain a yearly accounting cycle; (b) maintain in full force and effect all material licenses, permits, governmental authorizations, bonds, franchises, leases, trademarks, patents, contracts, and other rights necessary or desirable to the conduct of its business, or related to the Collateral; (c) continue in, and limit its operations to, substantially the same general lines of business as those presently conducted by it; (d) pay when due all taxes, license fees, and other charges upon the Collateral or upon Borrower's business, property or the income therefrom; and (e) comply with all Governmental Requirements.

5.6. Transfer of Collateral. Borrower will not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, transfer or permit any transfer of any Collateral or any part thereof to be made, or any interest therein to be created by way of a sale (except as expressly permitted herein), or by way of a grant of a security interest, or by way of a levy or other judicial process.

Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Lender and its successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all losses, cost, expense (including, without limitation Attorneys’ Fees, consulting fees and court costs), demand, claim or lawsuit arising out of or related to or in any way connected with or arising out of Borrower’s breach of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Lender may commence, appear in, or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights, duties, or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement, or the Collateral, and Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses so incurred on demand. If Borrower fails to provide such indemnity as the same accrues and as expenses are incurred, the amount not paid shall be added to the principal amount of the Note and bear interest thereon at the same rate then in effect (including any default rate in effect) and shall be secured by the same collateral as securing the Note and Loan Documents. This Section shall survive execution, delivery, performance, and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

5.8. Estoppel Certificates.

Such certificate shall also recite the amount of the Indebtedness and cover other matters with respect to the Indebtedness or Secured Obligations as Lender may reasonably require, the date(s) through which payments due on the Indebtedness have been paid and the amount(s) of any payments previously made on the Indebtedness. The certificate shall include a detailed statement of any right of setoff, counterclaim, or other defense that Borrower contends exists against the Indebtedness or the Secured Obligations; a statement that such Person knows of no Event of Default or prospective Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, or, if any Event of Default or prospective Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a statement specifying the nature and period of its existence and what action Borrower has taken or proposes to take with respect to such matter; and, except as otherwise specified, a statement that Borrower has fulfilled all Secured Obligations that are required to be fulfilled on or before the date of such certificate.

7.2.4.

Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Lender and remaining after the full, and final payment of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Borrower or to such other Person to which the Lender may be required under Applicable Law, or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, to make payment of such surplus.

 

7.3. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies provided for herein or in any other Loan Document are not exclusive, each shall be cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights and remedies existing at law or in equity, and all such remedies shall survive the acceleration of one or more of the Notes. Lender’s exercise or partial exercise of, or failure to exercise, any remedy shall not restrict Lender from further exercise of that remedy or any other available remedy. No extension of time for payment or performance of any obligation shall operate to release discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower for any obligations, either in whole or in part.

 

7.4. Waiver of Marshalling. Despite the existence of interests in the Collateral other than that created by the Security Agreements, and despite any other provision of this Agreement, if Borrower defaults in paying the Indebtedness or in performing any Secured Obligations, Lender shall have the right, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish the order in which the Collateral will be subjected to the remedies provided in this Agreement and Security Agreement and to establish the order in which all or any part of the Indebtedness secured by the Security Agreement is satisfied from the proceeds realized on the exercise of the remedies provided in the Security Agreement. Borrower and any Person who now has or later acquires any interest in the Collateral with actual or constructive notice of this Agreement and/or any Security Agreement waives any and all rights to require a marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies provided in this Agreement, any Security Agreement or otherwise provided by Governmental Requirements.

7.6. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by Borrower, or any other Person against Lender or its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of such Persons 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 act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, and waives the damages themselves, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

8. GENERAL TERMS.

 

8.1. No Waiver by Lender.

Waiver by Lender of any right or remedy granted to Lender under the Loan Documents or Governmental Requirements as to any transaction or occurrence shall not be deemed a waiver of any future transaction or occurrence. The acceptance of payment of any sum secured by the Collateral after its due date, or the payment by Lender of any Indebtedness or the performance by Lender of any Secured Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, on Borrower’s failure to do so, or the addition of any payment so made by Lender to the Indebtedness secured by the Collateral, or the exercise of Lender’s right to enter the Real Property Collateral and receive and collect the Rents from it, or the assertion by Lender of any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents, shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require prompt performance of all other Secured Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and payment of the Indebtedness, or to exercise any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents for any failure by Borrower to timely and fully pay the Indebtedness and perform its Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents. Lender may waive any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or Governmental Requirements without notice to or consent from Borrower, any Guarantor of the Indebtedness and of the Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents, or any holder or claimant of a lien or other interest in the Collateral that is junior to the lien of Lender, and without incurring liability to Borrower or any other Person by so doing.

 

8.2. Successors and Assigns.

Travis County, Texas

  

Property Address:

274 Gabbro Gdns, Maxwell, Texas 78656-2016

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC – 274 GABBRO, a series of TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (“Borrower”), whose address is 103 Saddle Ridge Dr, Cedar Park, Texas 78613-7473, hereby promises to pay to HouseMax Funding, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, or order (“Lender”), whose address is 1301 S Mo Pac Expy Ste 110, Austin, Texas 78746, the principal sum of One Hundred Sixty-One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($161,000.00), together with interest on the entire Loan Amount of this Note, as follows:

 

1. Interest. Interest on the entire loan amount, including any Lender Retained Funds, will accrue from the date any proceeds have been distributed to or on behalf of the Borrower (the “Date of Advance”) at an annual rate equal to Seven and 25/100 Percent (7.25%) for the first eighty-four (84) months (“Initial Interest Rate”). The Initial Interest Rate will change as provided for herein.

 

1.1. Computation of Interest. Interest on this Note is computed on a 30/360 basis; that is, with the exception of odd days before the first full payment cycle, monthly interest is calculated by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the entire Loan Amount, multiplied by a month of 30 days. Interest for the odd days before the first full month and any partial month in which the loan is repaid in full is calculated on the basis of the actual days and a 360-day year and shall include the day of payoff. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

 

1.2. Interest Rate Changes. The Initial Interest Rate may change on June 1, 2031, and may change on the 1st day of the month every twelve (12) months thereafter to correspond with changes in the Index rate. Each date on which the interest rate may change shall be referred to herein as a “Change Date.”

 

1.3. Index. Commencing on the first Change Date, the interest rate will be based on an Index. “Index” shall mean the 30-day average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is the compounded averages of the SOFR over rolling 30 calendar day periods, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any interest rate change shall be effective at the beginning of the business day on which such change becomes effective. The use of the term shall not constitute a representation of Lender as to a rate of interest that any borrower or class of borrower shall necessarily be entitled. The most recent Index value available as of the date forty-five (45) days before each Change Date is called the “Current Index,” provided that if the Current Index is less than zero, then the Current Index will be deemed to be zero for purposes of calculating the interest rate.

 

If the Index is no longer available, the Lender will choose a new index which is based upon comparable information and shall notify Borrower of this choice.

 

1.4. Calculation of Changes. Before each Change Date, Lender shall calculate the interest rate by adding Five and 25/100 Percent (5.25%) (the “Margin”) to the Current Index. Lender will then round the result of this addition to the nearest one-eighth of one percentage point (0.125%). Subject to the limits stated below, this rounded amount will be the new interest rate until the next Change Date.

 

1.5.Limits on Interest Rate.

 

1.5.1. Initial Interest Rate Limitation. The interest rate will not increase or decrease more than Five and 00/100 Percent (5%) from the Initial Interest Rate (“Initial Rate Cap”).

1.5.2. Subsequent Interest Rate Limitation. For each subsequent Change Date, the interest rate shall not increase or decrease on any single Change Date by more than Two and 00/100 Percent (2%) (“Subsequent Rate Cap”) from the previous rate.

 

1.5.3. Minimum Interest Rate. The interest rate will never be less than Seven and 25/100 Percent (7.25%) (“Floor Rate”).

 

1.5.4. Maximum Interest Rate. The interest rate will never be greater than Five and 00/100 Percent (5%) above the Initial Interest Rate (“Maximum Interest Rate”).

 

1.6. Effective Date of Changes. The new interest rate will become effective on each Change Date and the new payment calculated using the new interest rate will become effective one month after each Change Date.

 

2. Payment Obligations.

 

2.1. In General. Borrower will make a payment each month until the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note and all accrued and unpaid principal, interest and other charges due hereunder have been paid in full. If Borrower still owes amounts under this Note on June 1, 2054 (the “Maturity Date”), Borrower will pay those amounts in full on that date. Payments due under the Note shall be made in U.S. currency. Lender may charge a non-sufficient funds fee, in Lender’s discretion, for each payment that is returned unpaid by the Borrower’s bank. This charge may be in addition to any other charges provided for herein. Further, if any check or other instrument received by Lender as payment under the Note or the Security Instrument is returned to Lender unpaid, Lender may require that any or all subsequent payments due under this Note and the Security Instrument be made in one or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check, treasurer’s check or cashier’s check, provided any such check is drawn upon an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality, or entity; (d) Electronic Funds Transfer; or (e) wire. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require payment in any other manner.

 

2.2. Initial Interest-Only Payments. Interest-only payments shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly installments commencing with the first payment due on July 1, 2024 and continuing on the first day of every month thereafter for a period of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive months.

 

2.3. Payments of Principal and Interest. Beginning on July 1, 2034 and on the first day of every month thereafter, Borrower will make monthly payments of principal and interest amortized over two hundred seventy-six (276) months.

 

2.4. Change in Payment Calculations. On each Change Date, Lender shall calculate the new interest rate and the adjusted monthly payment amount in accordance with this Note.

 

2.5. Servicing Fees. In addition to any amounts due above, Borrower shall be responsible for all servicing costs. Servicing costs will be included in Borrower’s monthly statement provided by Lender’s loan servicer of Lender’s choice. In addition, servicing costs shall be billed to Borrower as incurred.

 

2.6. Balloon Payment. The payment schedule for this Loan requires that on the Maturity Date Borrower make a balloon payment of all unpaid principal, interest, charges, fees, costs and any other unpaid amounts due under the Loan Documents.

 

2.7. Debt Service Reserve. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement (as defined below), one or more of the payments due shall be paid from the Debt Service Reserve (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

 

2.8. Delivery of Payments. Payments due under this Note shall be made to Lender by electronic funds transfer by automated clearing house payments (“ACH Payments”). Borrower shall provide, and at all times maintain and control a valid account to be used for ACH Payments and shall ensure sufficient funds in the account to cover the amount of each payment or debit entry. Borrower’s failure to provide, maintain, or control a valid account to be used for ACH Payments or failure to deposit and/or maintain sufficient funds in the account for each debit entry, shall be a Default under this Note and the Loan Agreement. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require payment in any other manner.

2.9. Order of Application of Payments. Each payment under this Note shall be credited in the following order: (a) costs, fees, charges, and advances paid or incurred by Lender or payable to Lender and interest thereon under any provision of this Note, the Loan Agreement, or the Security Instrument, in such order as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects, (b) interest payable under the Note, and (c) principal under the Note.

 

2.10. Other Terms. This Note is subject to the following additional terms as provided for in the Loan Agreement. See headings in Loan Agreement sections for applicability.

 

2.10.1. Debt Service Reserve;

 

2.10.2. Tax Holdback; and

 

2.10.3. Insurance Holdback.

 

3. Late Charge. Borrower acknowledges that default in the payment of any sum due under this Note will result in losses and additional expenses to Lender in servicing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations. Borrower further acknowledges that the extent of such loss and additional expenses is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any payment due under this Note is not received by Lender within ten (10) days when due, a charge of 5 cents ($0.05) for each dollar ($1.00) that is not paid when due would be a reasonable estimate of expenses so incurred (the “Late Charge”). Without prejudicing or affecting any other rights or remedies of Lender, Borrower shall pay the Late Charge to Lender as liquidated damages to cover expenses incurred in handling such delinquent payment.

 

4. Default. On (a) Borrower's failure to pay any installment or other sum due under this Note when due and payable (whether by extension, acceleration, or otherwise), (b) an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), or (c) any breach of any other promise or obligation in this Note or in any other instrument now or hereafter securing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, then, and in any such event, Lender may, at its option, declare this Note (including, without limitation, all accrued interest) due and payable immediately regardless of the Maturity Date. Borrower expressly waives notice of the exercise of this option.

 

5. Prepayment.

 

5.1. Prepayment Premium. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time. However, if Borrower prepays this Note in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay a Prepayment Premium (“Prepayment Premium”) equal to the following:

 

(a) If prepayment is made on or before one year from the Date of Advance, Borrower shall pay a fee equal to 5.00% of the amount prepaid.

 

(b) If prepayment is made after one year from the Date of Advance, and on or before two years from the Date of Advance, Borrower shall pay a fee equal to 4.00% of the amount prepaid.

 

(c) If prepayment is made after two years from the Date of Advance, and on or before three years from the Date of Advance, Borrower shall pay a fee equal to 3.00% of the amount prepaid.

 

(d) If prepayment is made after three years from the Date of Advance, and on or before four years from the Date of Advance, Borrower shall pay a fee equal to 2.00% of the amount prepaid.

 

(e) If prepayment is made after four years from the Date of Advance, and on or before five years from the Date of Advance, Borrower shall pay a fee equal to 1.00% of the amount prepaid.

After five years from the Date of Advance, Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without paying any premium. All prepayments of principal on this Note shall be applied to the most remote principal installment or installments then unpaid.

 

5.2. Ability to Pay Prepayment. Borrower shall have no right to prepay and Lender shall have no duty to accept full or partial prepayment of this Note without Borrower giving Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice of his, her or its intention to prepay this Note. Said notice shall include the amount Borrower intends to repay. Borrower shall pay Lender the principal due under this Note together with (a) any Prepayment Premium contemplated in this Note and (b) any accrued but yet unpaid interest and fees.

 

5.3. Prepayment Waivers. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT BORROWER HAS NO RIGHT TO PREPAY THIS NOTE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IF THE MATURITY DATE IS ACCELERATED BY LENDER PURSUANT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, A JUNIOR LIEN LENDER OF THE PROPERTY), AND BORROWER OR ANY THIRD PERSON THEREAFTER SEEKS TO PAY OFF SUCH ACCELERATED INDEBTEDNESS OR PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AT A FORECLOSURE SALE (WHETHER JUDICIAL OR NON-JUDICIAL), SUCH PAYOFF OR PURCHASE SHALL CONSTITUTE A PREPAYMENT HEREUNDER AND THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL BE DUE IN THE EVENT PREPAYMENT OCCURS. BY INITIALING BELOW, BORROWER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT BORROWER SHALL PAY THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM, EVEN IN THE CASE WHERE LENDER HAS ACCELERATED THE MATURITY DATE PURSUANT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT THE CALCULATION OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO COMPENSATE LENDER FOR THE LOSS WHICH LENDER MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF PREPAYMENT OF THIS NOTE; THAT BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT BORROWER MAY HAVE OR CLAIM TO HAVE UNDER TEXAS LAW; AND THAT LENDER HAS MADE THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE IN RELIANCE ON THE AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER IN THIS SECTION AND LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE LOAN WITHOUT SUCH AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS.

6. Interest on Default. If Borrower is in default under the Loan Documents, then at the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and without notice or opportunity to cure, the entire Loan Amount shall immediately bear an annual interest rate equal to the lesser of (a) Thirteen and 25/100 Percent (13.25%); or (b) the maximum interest rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate”). The Loan shall accrue interest at the Default Rate only until all defaults are cured and the Loan is reinstated. Borrower acknowledges, understands and agrees that in connection with any default: (i) Lender’s risk of nonpayment of the Loan will be materially increased; (ii) Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities will be adversely impacted; (iii) Lender may need to set aside funds in a loan loss reserve, repurchase the loan from a credit provider or otherwise impair their capital; (iv) Lender may be unable to raise additional funds from investors, credit facilities or other capital sources due to defaults in its portfolio; (v) the value of the Lender’s loan will materially decrease and may become unmarketable altogether; (vi) the value of Lender’s business enterprise will be reduced; (vii) Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the amounts due; (viii) the aforementioned list of risks, losses and damages is not exhaustive and Lender will suffer additional exposure to risk, losses and damages not specifically identified above; (ix) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine such additional costs and expenses; (x) Lender is entitled to be compensated for such additional risks, costs, and expenses; and (xi) the increase to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the additional risks, costs, and expenses Lender will incur by reason of Borrower’s default and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the harms incurred by Lender due to Borrower’s default. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable by Borrower without prejudice to the rights of Lender to collect any other amounts to be paid under this Note (including, without limitation, late charges), the Loan Agreement, or the Security Instrument.

7. Interest on Interest. If any interest payment under this Note is not paid when due, the unpaid interest shall be added to the principal of this Note, shall become and be treated as principal, and shall thereafter bear like interest.

 

8. Due-on-Sale. If Borrower (a) sells, gives an option to purchase, exchanges, assigns, conveys, encumbers (including, but not limited to PACE/HERO loans, any loans where payments are collected through property tax assessments, and super-voluntary liens which are deemed to have priority over the lien of the Security Instrument) (other than with a Permitted Encumbrance as defined in the Security Instrument), transfers possession, or alienates all or any portion of the Collateral, or any of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral, or suffers its title to, or any interest in, the Collateral to be divested, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; or if there is a sale or transfer of any interests in Borrower; or if Borrower changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Collateral, or drills or extracts or enters into any lease for the drilling or extracting of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances or any mineral of any kind or character on the Real Property Collateral; or (b) if title to the Collateral becomes subject to any lien or charge, voluntary or involuntary, contractual or statutory, without Lender’s prior written consent, or (c) if a junior voluntary or involuntary deed of trust or mortgage lien in favor of another lender encumbers the Real Property Collateral (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) without Lender’s express prior written consent thereto, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s absolute and sole discretion, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice and subject to Applicable Law, declare all sums secured by the Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

 

9. Waiver. Borrower, endorsers, and all other persons liable or to become liable on this Note waive diligence, presentment, protest and demand, and also notice of protest, demand, nonpayment, dishonor and maturity and consents to any extension of the time or terms of payment hereof, any and all renewals or extensions of the terms hereof, any release of all or any part of the security given for this Note, any acceptance of additional security of any kind and any release of any party liable under this Note. Any such renewals or extensions may be made without notice to Borrower.

Lender in its sole discretion may transfer this Note, and may sell or assign participations or other interests in all or any part of this Note, all without notice to or the consent of Borrower.

12. Usury Savings Provisions. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the interest rate set forth in this Note was elected by the parties pursuant to an optional rate ceiling set forth in Subchapter A of Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code. For purposes of this Note, “Indebtedness” shall mean all indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and all amounts payable in the performance of any covenant or obligation in any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, or any part of such indebtedness. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to this Note or any other part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness.

 

13. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

 

14. Loan Agreement. This Note is also secured by and is subject to the provisions of that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) between Borrower and Lender, and all Collateral referenced and incorporated in the Loan Agreement. As specifically provided in the Loan Agreement, if Borrower defaults under this Note, Lender has the right and option to foreclose against any Collateral provided under the Loan Agreement.

 

15. Counterparts. This Note may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. This Note shall be deemed fully executed and effective when all parties have executed at least one of the counterparts, even though no single counterpart bears all such signatures.

 

THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED IN COUNTER-PARTS.

To secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness and the full and timely performance and discharge of the Obligations (as defined in this Security Instrument), Borrower GRANTS, BARGAINS, SELLS, AND CONVEYS to Trustee the Mortgaged Property, with power of sale and right of entry, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, to have and to hold the Mortgaged Property to Trustee, its successors in trust, and the Trustee’s assigns forever, and Borrower does hereby bind itself, its successors, and its assigns to warrant and forever defend the title to the Mortgaged Property to Trustee against anyone lawfully claiming it or any part of it; provided, however, that if the Indebtedness is paid in full as and when it becomes due and payable and the Obligations are performed on or before the date they are to be performed and discharged, then the liens, security interests, estates, and rights granted by the Loan Documents shall terminate; otherwise, they shall remain in full force and effect. As additional security for the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness and the full and timely performance and discharge of the Obligations, Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, and Rents under Article Nine of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located.

4. Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds.

 

4.1 Assignment to Lender. The proceeds of any award or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking of or damage or injury to the Mortgaged Property, or any part of it, or for conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are assigned to and shall be paid to Lender, regardless of whether Lender’s security is impaired. All causes of action, whether accrued before or after the date of this Security Instrument, of all types for damages or injury to the Mortgaged Property or any part of it, or in connection with any transaction financed by funds lent to Borrower by Lender and secured by this Security Instrument, or in connection with or affecting the Mortgaged Property or any part of it, including, without limitation, causes of action arising in tort or contract or in equity, are assigned to Lender as additional security, and the proceeds shall be paid to Lender. Lender, at its option, may appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding to enforce any such cause of action and may make any compromise or settlement of such action. Borrower shall notify Lender in writing immediately on obtaining knowledge of any casualty damage to the Mortgaged Property or damage in any other manner in excess of $2,000.00 or knowledge of the institution of any proceeding relating to condemnation or other taking of or damage or injury to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may participate in any such proceedings and may join Borrower in adjusting any loss covered by insurance. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender, at Lender’s request, to make, execute, and deliver, at Borrower’s expense, any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for the purpose of assigning the aforesaid award or awards, causes of action, or claims of damages or proceeds to Lender free, clear, and discharged of any and all encumbrances of any kind or nature.

 

4.2 Insurance Payments. All compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action, and payments that Borrower may receive or to which Lender may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property if any damage or injury occurs to the Mortgaged Property, other than by a partial condemnation or other partial taking of the Mortgaged Property, shall be paid over to Lender and shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with their recovery and disbursement, and shall then be applied as follows:

 

4.2.1. Lender shall consent to the application of such payments to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property so damaged only if Borrower has met all the following conditions (a breach of any one of which shall constitute a default under this Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, the Note, and any other Loan Documents): (a) Borrower is not in default under any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Loan Documents; (b) all then-existing Leases affected in any way by such damage will continue in full force and effect; (c) Lender is satisfied that the insurance or award proceeds, plus any sums added by Borrower, shall be sufficient to fully restore and rebuild the Mortgaged Property under then current Governmental Requirements; (d) within 60 days after the damage to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower presents to Lender a restoration plan satisfactory to Lender and any local planning department, which includes cost estimates and schedules; (e) construction and completion of restoration and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property shall be completed in accordance with plans and specifications and drawings submitted to Lender within 30 days after receipt by Lender of the restoration plan and thereafter approved by Lender, which plans, specifications, and drawings shall not be substantially modified, changed, or revised without Lender’s prior written consent; (f) within 3 months after such damage, Borrower and a licensed contractor satisfactory to Lender enter into a fixed price or guaranteed maximum price contract satisfactory to Lender, providing for complete restoration in accordance with such restoration plan for an amount not to exceed the amount of funds held or to be held by Lender; (g) all restoration of the Improvements so damaged or destroyed shall be made with reasonable promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the Improvements so damaged or destroyed before such damage or destruction; (h) Lender reasonably determines that there is an identified source (whether from income from the Mortgaged Property, rental loss insurance, or another source) sufficient to pay all debt service and operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property during its restoration as required above; and (i) any and all funds that are made available for restoration and rebuilding under this Section shall be disbursed, at Lender’s sole and absolute discretion to Lender, through Lender, the Trustee, or a title insurance or trust company satisfactory to Lender, in accordance with standard construction lending practices, including a reasonable fee payable to Lender from such funds and, if Lender requests, mechanics’ lien waivers and title insurance date-downs, and the provision of payment and performance bonds by Borrower, or in any other manner approved by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; or

4.2.2. If fewer than all conditions (a) through (i) above are satisfied, then such payments shall be applied in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender (a) to the payment or prepayment, with any applicable prepayment premium, of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument in such order as Lender may determine, or (b) to the reimbursement of Borrower’s expenses incurred in the rebuilding and restoration of the Mortgaged Property. If Lender elects under this Section to make any funds available to restore the Mortgaged Property, then all of conditions (a) through (i) above shall apply, except for such conditions that Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive.

 

4.3 Material Loss Not Covered. If any material part of the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed and the loss, measured by the replacement cost of the Improvements according to then current Governmental Requirements, is not adequately covered by insurance proceeds collected or in the process of collection, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, within 30 days after Lender’s request, the amount of the loss not so covered.

 

4.4 Total Condemnation Payments. All compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action, and payments that Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property in the event of a total condemnation or other total taking of the Mortgaged Property shall be paid over to Lender and shall be applied first to reimbursement of all Lender’s costs and expenses in connection with their recovery, and shall then be applied to the payment of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument in such order as Lender may determine, until the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument has been paid and satisfied in full. Any surplus remaining after payment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument shall be paid to Borrower as its interest may then appear.

 

4.5 Partial Condemnation Payments. All compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action, and payments (“Awarded Funds”) that Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property in the event of a partial condemnation or other partial taking of the Mortgaged Property, unless Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing, shall be divided into two portions, one equal to the principal balance of the Note at the time of receipt of such Awarded Funds and the other equal to the amount by which such Awarded Funds exceed the principal balance of the Note at the time of receipt of such Awarded Funds. The first such portion shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, including but not limited to principal, accrued interest, and advances, and in such order or combination as Lender may determine, with the balance of the funds paid to Borrower.

 

4.6 Cure of Waiver of Default. Any application of such Awarded Funds or any portion of it to any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Security Instrument or invalidate any act done under any such default or notice.

 

5. Taxes and Other Sums Due. Borrower shall promptly pay, satisfy, and discharge: (a) all Impositions affecting the Mortgaged Property before they become delinquent; (b) such other amounts, chargeable against Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, as Lender reasonably deems necessary to protect and preserve the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, or Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations; (c) all encumbrances, charges, and liens on the Mortgaged Property, with interest, which in Lender’s judgment are, or appear to be, prior or superior to the lien of this Security Instrument or all costs necessary to obtain protection against such lien or charge by title insurance endorsement or surety company bond; (d) such other charges as Lender deems reasonable for services rendered by Lender at Borrower’s request; and (e) all costs, fees, and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Security Instrument, whether or not specified in this Security Instrument.

On Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly furnish Lender with all notices of sums due for any amounts specified in the preceding clauses 5(a) through (e), and, on payment, with written evidence of such payment. If Borrower fails to promptly make any payment required under this Section, Lender may (but is not obligated to) make such payment. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately on receipt by Borrower of notice of any increase in the assessed value of the Mortgaged Property and agrees that Lender, in Borrower’s name, may (but is not obligated to) contest by appropriate proceedings such increase in assessment. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not allow any lien inferior to the lien of this Security Instrument to be perfected against the Mortgaged Property and shall not permit any improvement bond for any unpaid special assessment to issue.

 

6. Leases of Mortgaged Property by Borrower. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of it then in force. If Lender so requires, all Leases later entered into by Borrower are subject to Lender’s prior review and approval and must be acceptable to Lender in form and content. Each Lease must specifically provide, inter alia, that (a) it is subordinate to the lien of this Security Instrument; (b) the tenant attorns to Lender (and Borrower consents to any such attornment), such attornment to be effective on Lender’s acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property; (c) the tenant agrees to execute such further evidence of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (d) the tenant’s attornment shall not be terminated by foreclosure; and (e) Lender, at Lender’s option, may accept or reject such attornment. If Borrower learns that any tenant proposes to do, or is doing, any act that may give rise to any right of setoff against Rent, Borrower shall immediately (i) take measures reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any such right of setoff; (ii) notify Lender of all measures so taken and of the amount of any setoff claimed by any such tenant; and (iii) within 10 days after the accrual of any right of setoff against Rent, reimburse any tenant who has acquired such right, in full, or take other measures that will effectively discharge such setoff and ensure that rents subsequently due shall continue to be payable without claim of setoff or deduction.

 

At Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign to Lender, by written instrument satisfactory to Lender, all Leases of the Mortgaged Property, and all security deposits made by tenants in connection with such Leases. On assignment to Lender of any such Lease, Lender shall succeed to all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to such Lease, and Lender, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to modify, extend, or terminate such Lease and to execute other further leases with respect to the Mortgaged Property that is the subject of such assigned Lease.

 

Neither Borrower, tenant nor any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property shall use the Mortgaged Property, except in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; nor shall Borrower, tenant or any other occupant cause the Mortgaged Property to become subject to any use that is not in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

 

If Borrower suspects any tenant or other occupant of the Mortgaged Property is using the Mortgaged Property in a manner that is not in compliance with any Governmental Requirement to which Borrower, tenant, or any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property is subject, Borrower shall immediately take appropriate action to remedy the violation, and shall notify Lender of any potential violation within one (1) day of discovery of any such potential violation. Any potential violation by a tenant or any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property of any Governmental Requirement is an Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Note and this Security Instrument; and upon the occurrence of any such violation, Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

7. Right to Collect and Receive Rents. Despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, Lender grants permission to Borrower to collect and retain the Rents of the Mortgaged Property as they become due and payable; however, such permission to Borrower shall be automatically revoked on default by Borrower in payment of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument or in the performance of any of the Obligations, and Lender shall have the rights set forth in the laws and regulations where the Mortgaged Property is located regardless of whether declaration of default has been delivered, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Failure of or discontinuance by Lender at any time, or from time to time, to collect any such Rents shall not in any manner affect the subsequent enforcement by Lender at any time, or from time to time, of the right, power, and authority to collect these Rents. The receipt and application by Lender of all such Rents under this Security Instrument, after execution and delivery of declaration of default and demand for sale as provided in this Security Instrument or during the pendency of trustee’s sale proceedings under this Security Instrument or judicial foreclosure, shall neither cure such breach or default nor affect such sale proceedings, or any sale made under them, but such Rents, less all costs of operation, maintenance, collection, and Attorneys’ Fees, when received by Lender, may be applied in reduction of the entire Indebtedness from time to time secured by this Security Instrument, in such order as Lender may decide. Nothing in this Security Instrument, nor the exercise of Lender’s right to collect, nor an assumption by Lender of any tenancy, lease, or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor a subordination of the lien or charge of this Security Instrument to, any such tenancy, lease, or option, shall be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by Lender of any tenancy, lease, or option.

 

If the Rents of the Mortgaged Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Security Instrument. Unless Lender and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable on notice from Lender to Borrower requesting such payment and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to Governmental Requirements, in which event the amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate that may be collected from Borrower under Governmental Requirements.

 

Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Lender will have no liability to Borrower or any other person for Lender’s failure or inability to collect Rents from the Mortgaged Property or for failing to collect such Rents in an amount that is equal to the fair market rental value of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower understands and agrees that neither the assignment of Rents to Lender nor the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under this Security Instrument shall be deemed to make Lender a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of all or any portion of it, unless and until Lender, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession of it. Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property by any court at the request of Lender or by agreement with Borrower, or the entering into possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part of it by such receiver be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of all or any portion of it.

During an Event of Default, any and all Rents collected or received by Borrower shall be accepted and held for Lender in trust and shall not be commingled with Borrower’s funds and property, but shall be promptly paid over to Lender.

 

8. Assignment of Causes of Action, Awards, and Damages. All causes of action, and all sums due or payable to Borrower for injury or damage to the Mortgaged Property, or as damages incurred in connection with the transactions in which the Loan secured by this Security Instrument was made, including, without limitation, causes of action and damages for breach of contract, fraud, concealment, construction defects, or other torts, or compensation for any conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are assigned to Lender, and all proceeds from such causes of action and all such sums shall be paid to Lender for credit against the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately on receipt by Borrower of notice that any such sums have become due or payable and, immediately on receipt of any such sums, shall promptly remit such sums to Lender.

 

After deducting all expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees, incurred by Lender in recovering or collecting any sums under this Section, Lender may apply or release the balance of any funds received by it under this Section, or any part of such balance, as it elects. Lender, at its option, may appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding to enforce any cause of action assigned to it under this Section and may make any compromise or settlement in such action whatsoever. Borrower covenants that it shall execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of any such compensation awards, damages, or causes of action as Lender may request from time to time. If Lender fails or does not elect to prosecute any such action or proceeding and Borrower elects to do so, Borrower may conduct the action or proceeding at its own expense and risk.

 

9. Defense of Security Instrument; Litigation. Borrower represents and warrants that this Security Instrument creates a first position lien and security interest against the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall give Lender immediate written notice of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any judicial, whether civil, criminal, or probate, or nonjudicial proceeding to foreclose the lien of a junior or senior mortgage or deed of trust) affecting or purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender under the Loan Documents. Despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, Borrower agrees that Lender or Trustee may (but is not obligated to) commence, appear in, prosecute, defend, compromise, and settle, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, and as attorney-in-fact for Borrower, and incur necessary costs and expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees in so doing, any action or proceeding, whether a civil, criminal, or probate judicial matter, nonjudicial proceeding, arbitration, or other alternative dispute resolution procedure, reasonably necessary to preserve or protect, or affecting or purporting to affect, the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, and that if Lender and Trustee elect not to do so, Borrower shall commence, appear in, prosecute, and defend any such action or proceeding. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender and Trustee, including costs of evidence of title and Attorneys’ Fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Lender or Trustee may appear or for which legal counsel is sought, whether by virtue of being made a party defendant or otherwise, and whether or not the interest of Lender or Trustee in the Mortgaged Property is directly questioned in such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, any action for the condemnation or partition of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and any action brought by Lender to foreclose this Security Instrument or to enforce any of its terms or provisions.

10. Borrower’s Failure to Comply With Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to make any payment or do any act required by this Security Instrument, or if there is any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any judicial or nonjudicial proceeding to foreclose the lien of a junior or senior mortgage or deed of trust) affecting or purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Agreement, the Note or this Security Instrument, Lender or Trustee may (but is not obligated to) (a) make any such payment or do any such act in such manner and to such extent as either deems necessary to preserve or protect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, or Lender’s security for the performance of Borrower’s Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, Lender and Trustee being authorized to enter on the Mortgaged Property for any such purpose; and (b) in exercising any such power, pay necessary expenses, retain attorneys, and pay Attorneys’ Fees incurred in connection with such action, without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any Obligations or Indebtedness.

 

11. Sums Advanced to Bear Interest and to Be Secured by Security Instrument. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall immediately pay any sums advanced or paid by Lender or Trustee under any provision of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. Until so repaid, all such sums and all other sums payable to Lender and Trustee shall be added to, and become a part of, the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument and bear interest from the date of advancement or payment by Lender or Trustee at the Default Rate provided in the Note, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to Governmental Requirements. All sums advanced by Lender under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, shall have the same priority to which the Security Instrument otherwise would be entitled as of the date this Security Instrument is executed and recorded, without regard to the fact that any such future advances may occur after this Security Instrument is executed, and shall conclusively be deemed to be mandatory advances required to preserve and protect this Security Instrument and Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, and shall be secured by this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same priority as the principal and interest payable under the Note.

 

12. Inspection of Mortgaged Property. In addition to any rights Lender may have under the laws and regulations where the Mortgaged Property is located, Lender may make, or authorize other persons, including, but not limited to, appraisers and prospective purchasers at any foreclosure sale commenced by Lender, to enter on or inspect the Mortgaged Property at reasonable times and for reasonable durations. Borrower shall permit all such entries and inspections to be made as long as Lender has given Borrower written notice of such inspection at least 24 hours before the entry and inspection.

 

13. Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement. This Security Instrument is intended to be and shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the Personalty specified as part of the Mortgaged Property that, under Governmental Requirements, may be subject to a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code, and Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in those items. Borrower authorizes Lender to file financing statements in all states, counties, and other jurisdictions as Lender may elect, without Borrower’s signature if permitted by law. Borrower agrees that Lender may file this Security Instrument, or a copy of it, in the real estate records or other appropriate index or in the Office of the Secretary of State and such other states as the Lender may elect, as a financing statement for any of the items specified above as part of the Mortgaged Property. Any reproduction of this Security Instrument or executed duplicate original of this Security Instrument, or a copy certified by a County Recorder in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, or of any other security agreement or financing statement, shall be sufficient as a financing statement. In addition, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender, at Lender’s request, any UCC financing statements, as well as any extensions, renewals, and amendments, and copies of this Security Instrument in such form as Lender may require to perfect a security interest with respect to the Personalty. Borrower shall pay all costs of filing such financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments, and releases of such statements, and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements that Lender may reasonably require. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or suffer to be created any other security interest in the items, including any replacements and additions.

On any Event of Default, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and, at Lender’s option, may also invoke the remedies provided in the Non-Uniform Covenants section of this Security Instrument as to such items. In exercising any of these remedies, Lender may proceed against the items of Mortgaged Property and any items of Personalty separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability of Lender’s remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code or of the remedies provided in the Non-Uniform Covenants section of this Security Instrument.

 

14. Fixture Filing. This Security Instrument constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any portion of the Mortgaged Property that now is or later may become a fixture attached to the Mortgaged Property or to any Improvement. The addresses of Borrower (“Debtor”) and Lender (“Secured Party”) are set forth on the first page of this Security Instrument.

 

15. Waiver of Statute of Limitations. Borrower waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a defense to the Loan Documents and the Obligations secured by this Security Instrument, to the fullest extent permitted by Governmental Requirements.

 

16. Default. Any Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall constitute an "Event of Default" as that term is used in this Security Instrument (and the term "Default" shall mean any event which, with any required lapse of time or notice, may constitute an Event of Default, whether or not any such requirement for notice or lapse of time has been satisfied).

 

17.Acceleration on Transfer or Encumbrance.

 

17.1 Acceleration on Transfer or Encumbrance of Mortgaged Property. If Borrower sells, gives an option to purchase, exchanges, assigns, conveys, encumbers (including, but not limited to PACE/HERO loans, any loans where payments are collected through property tax assessments, and super- voluntary liens which are deemed to have priority over the lien of the Security Instrument) (other than with a Permitted Encumbrance), transfers possession, or alienates all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any of Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, or suffers its title to, or any interest in, the Mortgaged Property to be divested, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; or if there is a sale or transfer of any interests in Borrower; or if Borrower changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Mortgaged Property, or drills or extracts or enters into any lease for the drilling or extracting of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances or any mineral of any kind or character on the Mortgaged Property; or if title to such Mortgaged Property becomes subject to any lien or charge, voluntary or involuntary, contractual or statutory, without Lender’s prior written consent, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents. For purposes of this Section “interest in the Mortgaged Property” means any legal or beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, those beneficial interests transferred in a bond for deed, contract for deed, installment sales contract, or escrow agreement, the intent of which is the transfer of title by Borrower to a purchaser at a future date.

17.2 Replacement Personalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower may from time to time replace Personalty constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, as long as (a) the replacements for such Personalty are of equivalent value and quality; (b) Borrower has good and clear title to such replacement Personalty free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, security interests, ownership interests, claims of title (contingent or otherwise), or charges of any kind, or the rights of any conditional sellers, vendors, or any other third parties in or to such replacement Personalty have been expressly subordinated to the lien of the Security Instrument in a manner satisfactory to Lender and at no cost to Lender; and (c) at Lender’s option, Borrower provides at no cost to Lender satisfactory evidence that the Security Instrument constitutes a valid and subsisting lien on and security interest in such replacement Personalty of the same priority as this Security Instrument has on the Mortgaged Property and is not subject to being subordinated or its priority affected under any Governmental Requirements.

 

17.3 Junior Liens. If Lender consents in writing, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, the due-on-encumbrance prohibition shall not apply to a junior voluntary deed of trust or mortgage lien in favor of another lender encumbering the Mortgaged Property (the principal balance of any such junior encumbrance shall be added to the principal balance of the Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants of the Loan Agreement and the Note). Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such encumbrance. Should Borrower fail to obtain Lender’s express written consent to any junior voluntary lien, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice and subject to Applicable Law, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of any their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

 

18. Waiver of Marshaling. Despite the existence of interests in the Mortgaged Property other than that created by this Security Instrument, and despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, if Borrower defaults in paying the Indebtedness or in performing any Obligations, Lender shall have the right, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish the order in which the Mortgaged Property will be subjected to the remedies provided in this Security Instrument and to establish the order in which all or any part of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument is satisfied from the proceeds realized on the exercise of the remedies provided in this Security Instrument. Borrower and any person who now has or later acquires any interest in the Mortgaged Property with actual or constructive notice of this Security Instrument waives any and all rights to require a marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies provided in this Security Instrument or otherwise provided by Governmental Requirements.

19. Consents and Modifications; Borrower and Lien Not Released. Despite Borrower’s default in the payment of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument or in the performance of any Obligations under this Security Instrument or Borrower’s breach of any obligation, covenant, or agreement in the Loan Documents, Lender, at Lender’s option, without notice to or consent from Borrower, any guarantor of the Indebtedness and of Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents, or any holder or claimant of a lien or interest in the Mortgaged Property that is junior to the lien of this Security Instrument, and without incurring liability to Borrower or any other person by so doing, may from time to time (a) extend the time for payment of all or any portion of Borrower’s Indebtedness under the Loan Documents; (b) accept a renewal note or notes, or release any person from liability, for all or any portion of such Indebtedness; (c) agree with Borrower to modify the terms and conditions of payment under the Loan Documents; (d) reduce the amount of the monthly installments due under the Note; (e) reconvey or release other or additional security for the repayment of Borrower’s Indebtedness under the Loan Documents; (f) approve the preparation or filing of any map or plat with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (g) enter into any extension or subordination agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property or the lien of this Security Instrument; and (h) agree with Borrower to modify the term, the rate of interest, or the period of amortization of the Note or alter the amount of the monthly installments payable under the Note. No action taken by Lender under this Section shall be effective unless it is in writing, subscribed by Lender, and, except as expressly stated in such writing, no such action will impair or affect (i) Borrower’s obligation to pay the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument and to observe all Obligations of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents; (ii) the guaranty of any Person of the payment of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument; or (iii) the lien or priority of the lien of this Security Instrument. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender a reasonable service charge, together with all insurance premiums and Attorneys’ Fees as Lender may have advanced, for any action taken by Lender under this Section.

 

Whenever Lender’s consent or approval is specified as a condition of any provision of this Security Instrument, such consent or approval shall not be effective unless such consent or approval is in writing, signed by two authorized officers of Lender.

 

20. Future Advances. On request by Borrower, Lender, at Lender’s option, may make future advances to Borrower. All such future advances, with interest, shall be added to and become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument when evidenced by promissory notes reciting that such note(s) are secured by this Security Instrument.

 

21. Prepayment. If the Loan Documents provide for a fee or charge as consideration for the acceptance of prepayment of principal, Borrower agrees to pay said fee or charge if the Indebtedness or any part of it shall be paid, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, before the due date stated in the Note, even if Borrower has defaulted in payment or in the performance of any agreement under the Loan Documents and Lender has declared all sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately due and payable.

 

22. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. This Loan is made by Lender and accepted by Borrower in the State of Texas except that at all times the provisions for the creation, perfection, priority, enforcement and foreclosure of the liens and security interests created in the Mortgaged Property under the Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated. To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated, the law of the State of Texas shall govern the validity and enforceability of all Loan Documents, and the debt or obligations arising hereunder (but the foregoing shall not be construed to limit Lender’s rights with respect to such security interest created in the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated). The parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any dispute, claim or controversy arising, other than with respect to perfection and enforcement of Lender’s rights against the Mortgaged Property, shall be Travis County, Texas, or the applicable federal district court that covers said County, and Borrower submits to personal jurisdiction in that forum for any and all purposes. Borrower waives any right Borrower may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to such venue.

23. Taxation of Security Instrument. In the event of the enactment of any law deducting from the value of the Mortgaged Property any mortgage lien on it, or imposing on Lender the payment of all or part of the taxes, charges, or assessments previously paid by Borrower under this Security Instrument, or changing the law relating to the taxation of mortgages, debts secured by mortgages, or Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property so as to impose new incidents of tax on Lender, then Borrower shall pay such taxes or assessments or shall reimburse Lender for them; provided, however, that if in the opinion of Lender’s counsel such payment cannot lawfully be made by Borrower, then Lender may, at Lender’s option, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument to be immediately due and payable without notice to Borrower. Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument.

 

24. Mechanic’s Liens. Borrower shall pay from time to time when due, all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, and others that, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part of it, or on the Rents arising therefrom, and in general shall do or cause to be done everything necessary so that the lien and security interest of this Security Instrument shall be fully preserved, at Borrower’s expense, without expense to Lender; provided, however, that if Governmental Requirements empower Borrower to discharge of record any mechanic’s, laborer’s, materialman’s, or other lien against the Mortgaged Property by the posting of a bond or other security, Borrower shall not have to make such payment if Borrower posts such bond or other security on the earlier of (a) 10 days after the filing or recording of same or (b) within the time prescribed by law, so as not to place the Mortgaged Property in jeopardy of a lien or forfeiture.

 

25. Liability for Acts or Omissions. Lender shall not be liable or responsible for its acts or omissions under this Security Instrument, except for Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be liable or responsible for any acts or omissions of any agent, attorney, or employee of Lender, if selected with reasonable care.

 

26. Notices. Except for any notice required by Governmental Requirements to be given in another manner, any notice required to be provided in this Security Instrument shall be given in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

 

27. Statement of Obligations. Except as otherwise provided by Governmental Requirements, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender such fee as may then be provided by law as the maximum charge for each statement of obligations, Lender’s statement, Lender’s demand, payoff statement, or other statement on the condition of, or balance owed, under the Note or secured by this Security Instrument.

 

28. Remedies Are Cumulative. Each remedy in this Security Instrument is separate and distinct and is cumulative to all other rights and remedies provided by this Security Instrument or by Governmental Requirements, and each may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.

 

29. Obligations of Borrower Joint and Several. If more than one Person is named as Borrower, each obligation of Borrower under this Security Instrument shall be the joint and several obligations of each such Person.

 

30. Delegation of Authority. Whenever this Security Instrument provides that Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to perform any act for or on behalf of Borrower or in the name, place, and stead of Borrower, Borrower expressly understands and agrees that this authority shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and such power shall be irrevocable.

31. Funds for Taxes Insurance, and Impositions. If Borrower is in default under this Security Instrument or any of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether the default has been cured, then Lender may at any subsequent time, at its option to be exercised on 30 days written notice to Borrower, require Borrower to deposit with Lender or its designee, at the time of each payment of an installment of interest or principal under the Note, an additional amount sufficient to discharge the Impositions as they become due. The calculation of the amount payable and of the fractional part of it to be deposited with Lender shall be made by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. These amounts shall be held by Lender or its designee not in trust and not as agent of Borrower and shall not bear interest, and shall be applied to the payment of any of the Impositions under the Loan Documents in such order or priority as Lender shall determine. If at any time within 30 days before the due date of these obligations the amounts then on deposit shall be insufficient to pay the obligations under the Note and this Security Instrument in full, Borrower shall deposit the amount of the deficiency with Lender within 10 days after Lender’s demand. If the amounts deposited are in excess of the actual obligations for which they were deposited, Lender may refund any such excess, or, at its option, may hold the excess in a reserve account, not in trust and not bearing interest, and reduce proportionately the required monthly deposits for the ensuing year. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Lender under any other provision of this Security Instrument or under any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid to the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Lender shall have no obligation to pay insurance premiums or taxes except to the extent the fund established under this Section is sufficient to pay such premiums or taxes, to obtain insurance, or to notify Borrower of any matters relative to the insurance or taxes for which the fund is established under this Section. Notwithstanding the preceding, Borrower and Lender may agree to impounds of taxes and insurance which impounds shall be identified in the Note.

 

Lender or its designee shall hold all amounts so deposited as additional security for the sums secured by this Security Instrument. Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Security Instrument, apply such amounts or any portion of it to any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument, and such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Security Instrument.

 

If Lender requires deposits to be made under this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all tax bills, bond and assessment statements, statements for insurance premiums, and statements for any other obligations referred to above as soon as Borrower receives such documents.

 

If Lender sells or assigns this Security Instrument, Lender shall have the right to transfer all amounts deposited under this Section to the purchaser or assignee. After such a transfer, Lender shall be relieved and have no further liability under this Security Instrument for the application of such deposits, and Borrower shall look solely to such purchaser or assignee for such application and for all responsibility relating to such deposits.

 

32.General Provisions.

 

32.1 Successors and Assigns. This Security Instrument is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender and Borrower and their successors and assigns, and no other Person or Persons shall have any right of action under this Security Instrument. The terms of this Security Instrument shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties, provided, however, that the Borrower's interest under this Security Instrument cannot be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior consent of Lender. Lender in its sole discretion may transfer this Security Instrument, and may sell or assign participations or other interests in all or any part of this Security Instrument, all without notice to or the consent of Borrower.

Lender may exercise the rights set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, before, during, or after the pendency of any proceeding referred to in the Section above. Neither the exercise of self-help remedies nor the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional or ancillary remedies or the opposition to any such provisional remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any Borrower, Lender or any other party, including, but not limited to, the claimant in any such action, to require submission of the dispute, claim or controversy occasioning resort to such remedies to any proceeding referred to in the Section above.

    

34. Contractual Right to Appoint a Receiver Upon Default.

Borrower agrees to cooperate with the receiver and turn over all control to said receiver and otherwise cooperate with the receiver appointed by Lender.

36.2 Obligations. Borrower shall perform all of Borrower's obligations under the Condominium Project's and/or PUD Constituent Documents. The "Constituent Documents" are the: (1) condominium declaration and/or any other document which creates the Condominium Project and or PUD; (2) any by-laws; (3) any code or regulations; (4) articles of incorporation, trust instrument or any equivalent document which create the Owners Association; and (5) other equivalent documents. Borrower shall promptly pay, when due, all dues and assessments imposed pursuant to the Constituent Documents.

 

36.3 Owners Association Policy Proceeds. If the Owners Association maintains a "master" or "blanket" policy on the Condominium Project or PUD and an event of a distribution of hazard insurance proceeds in lieu of restoration or repair following a loss to the Mortgaged Property, whether to the unit or to common elements, any proceeds payable to Borrower are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Lender for application to the sums secured by this Mortgage, whether or not then due, with any excess paid to Borrower.

 

36.4 Owners Association Liability Coverage. Borrower shall take such actions as may be reasonable to insure that the Owners Association maintains a public liability insurance policy acceptable in form, amount, and extent of coverage to Lender.

 

36.5 Consent of Lender. Borrower shall not, except after notice to Lender and with Lender's prior written consent, either partition or subdivide the Mortgaged Property or consent to:

 

36.5.1. the abandonment and/or termination of the Condominium Project or PUD, except for abandonment or termination required by law in the case of substantial destruction by fire or other casualty or in the case of taking by condemnation or eminent domain;

 

36.5.2. any amendment to any provision of the Constituent Documents if the provision is for the express benefit of Lender;

NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Security Instrument, Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows:

 

37. Acceleration and Sale on Default. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender, at its option, in addition to other remedies provided at law, may declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately due and payable and may, at Lender’s option, direct Trustee to foreclose upon the Mortgage Property in accordance with Chapter 51 of the Texas Property Code, as the same may be amended from time to time.

 

Trustee, when requested to do so by Lender after such an Event of Default as aforesaid, shall sell all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash, at the county courthouse of the county in Texas in which the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is situated in the area in or about such courthouse designated for real property foreclosure sales in accordance with Applicable Law (or in the absence of such designation, in the area set forth in the notice of sale hereinafter described), between the hours of 10:00 o'clock A.M. and 4:00 o'clock P.M., on the first Tuesday of any month, after giving notice of the time, place and terms of said sale, and of the property to be sold in accordance with Applicable Laws in the State of Texas in effect at the time such notice is given, provided however, such sale shall begin at the time stated in such notice or within three (3) hours thereafter.

 

Notice of such proposed sale shall be given by posting written notice of the sale at the courthouse, and, except as otherwise permitted or required by Applicable Law, by filing a copy of the notice in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the sale is to be made at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the sale. If the property to be sold is situated in more than one county, a notice shall be posted at the courthouse and filed with the county clerk of each county in which the property to be sold is situated. In addition, Lender shall, at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale, serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on each debtor obligated to pay the debt secured hereby according to the records of Lender. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such debtor at the most recent address as shown by the records of Lender, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service.

 

Any notice that is required or permitted to be given to Borrower may be addressed to Borrower at Borrower’s address as stated on the first page hereof. Any notice that is to be given by certified mail to any other debtor may, if no address for such other debtor is shown by the records of Lender, be addressed to such other debtor at the address of Borrower as is shown by the records of Lender. Trustee may appoint any attorney-in-fact or agent to act in his or her stead as Trustee to perform all duties of the Trustee authorized herein. Borrower authorizes and empowers Trustee to sell the Mortgaged Property, together or in lots or parcels, as Trustee shall deem expedient; to receive the proceeds of said sale; and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof good and sufficient deeds of conveyance thereto by fee simple title, with covenants of general warranty, and Borrower binds itself, himself or herself to warrant and forever defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement made at the initial time and place of sale, and from time to time later by public announcement made at the time and place of sale fixed by the preceding postponement. Any person, including Borrower, Trustee, or Lender, may purchase at such sale. Lender may offset its bid at such sale to the extent of the full amount owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Trustee’s fees, expenses of sale, and costs, expenses, and Attorneys’ Fees incurred by or on behalf of Lender in connection with collecting, litigating, or otherwise enforcing any right under the Loan Documents.

The proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument, together with any other sums secured by this Security Instrument, which then may be held by the Trustee or Lender or any other person, shall be applied as follows: (1) To the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including Trustee’s fees, costs of title evidence, Attorneys’ Fees, and reasonable compensation to Lender and its agents and consultants, and of any judicial proceedings in which the same costs and expenses of sale may be made, and of all expenses, liabilities, and advances made or incurred by the Trustee or Lender under this Security Instrument, together with interest at the rate set forth in the Note on all advances made by the Trustee or Lender and all taxes or assessments, except any taxes, assessments, or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property was sold; (2) to the payment of the whole amount then due, owing, or unpaid on the Note for interest and principal, with interest on the unpaid principal at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), from the due date of any such payment of principal until the same is paid; (3) to the payment of any other Indebtedness required to be paid by Borrower under any provision of this Security Instrument, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents; and (4) to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive it.

 

38. Trustee. The Trustee shall be deemed to have accepted the terms of this trust when this Security Instrument, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. The Trustee shall not be obligated to notify any party to this Security Instrument of any pending sale under any other Security Instrument or of any action or proceeding in which Borrower, Lender, or Trustee is a party, unless such sale relates to or reasonably might affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for the payment of the Indebtedness and the performance of the Obligations, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, or unless such action or proceeding has been instituted by Trustee against the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, or Lender.

 

In case of any sale hereunder, all prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been performed, and in conveyance given hereunder, all statements of facts or other recitals made therein as to any of the following, shall be taken in all courts of law or equity as prima facie evidence that the facts so stated or recited are true; i.e., the nonpayment of money secured; the request to Trustee to enforce this trust; the proper and due appointment of any substitute trustee; the advertisement of sale or time, place and manner of sale; or any other preliminary fact or thing. Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Trustee in good faith and reasonably believed to be within the discretion or power conferred upon Trustee by this Security Instrument and shall be answerable only for losses occurring through his or her gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower agrees to save and hold Trustee and Lender harmless from all loss and expense, including reasonable Attorneys’ Fee, costs of a title search or abstract, and preparation of survey, incurred by reason of any action, suit or proceeding (including an action, suit or proceeding to foreclose or to collect the debt secured hereby) in and to which Trustee or Lender may be or become a party by reason hereof, including but not limited to, condemnation, bankruptcy and administration proceedings, as well as any other proceeding wherein proof of claim is required by law to be filed or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the terms of this Security Instrument, and in each such instance, all money paid or expended by Trustee or Lender, together with interest thereon from date of such payment at the rate set forth in said Note or at the Default Rate, whichever is higher, shall be so much additional indebtedness secured hereby and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.

 

39. Power of Trustee to Reconvey or Consent. At any time, without liability and without notice to Borrower, on Lender’s written request and presentation of the Note and this Security Instrument to Trustee for endorsement, and without altering or affecting (a) the personal liability of Borrower or any other person for the payment of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument, or (b) the lien of this Security Instrument on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property as security for the repayment of the full amount of the Indebtedness then or later secured by this Security Instrument, (c) or any right or power of Lender or Trustee with respect to the remainder of the Mortgaged Property, Trustee may (i) reconvey or release any part of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of this Security Instrument; (ii) approve the preparation or filing of any map or plat of the Mortgaged Property; (iii) join in the granting of any easement burdening the Mortgaged Property; or (iv) enter into any extension or subordination agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property or the lien of this Security Instrument.

40. Duty to Reconvey. On Lender’s written request reciting that all sums secured hereby have been paid, surrender of the Note and this Security Instrument to Trustee for cancellation and retention by Trustee, and payment by Borrower of any reconveyance fees customarily charged by Trustee, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Mortgaged Property then held by Trustee under this Security Instrument. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters of fact shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled to the Mortgaged Property.” Such request and reconveyance shall operate as a reassignment of the Rents assigned to Lender in this Security Instrument.

 

41. Substitution of Trustee. Lender, at Lender’s option, may from time to time, by written instrument, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named in or acting under this Security Instrument, which instrument, when executed and acknowledged by Lender and recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county or counties in which the Mortgaged Property is located, shall constitute conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to all right, title, estate, powers, and duties of such predecessor Trustee, including, without limitation, the power to reconvey the Mortgaged Property. To be effective, the instrument must contain the names of the original Borrower, Trustee, and Lender under this Security Instrument, the book and page or instrument or document number at which, and the county or counties in which, this Security Instrument is recorded, and the name and address of the substitute Trustee. If any notice of default has been recorded under this Security Instrument, this power of substitution cannot be exercised until all costs, fees, and expenses of the then acting Trustee have been paid. On such payment, the then acting Trustee shall endorse receipt of the payment on the instrument of substitution. The procedure provided in this Section for substitution of Trustees is not exclusive of other provisions for substitution provided by Governmental Requirements.

 

42. Collection of Rents. During an Event of Default, any and all Rents collected or received by Borrower shall be accepted and held for Lender in trust and shall not be commingled with Borrower’s funds and property, but shall be promptly paid over to Lender. This instrument constitutes an assignment of rents and a security instrument under Chapter 64, Texas Property Code (SB 889 as enacted June 2011) and affords Lender, as beneficiary hereunder, all rights and remedies of an assignee under Chapter 64, Texas Property Code. This assignment of rents secures the Indebtedness, and a security interest in all rents from the Mortgaged Property is hereby created under Chapter 64 of the Texas Property Code to secure the Obligations.

 

If the Lender deems it necessary or convenient to have the rents collected by a receiver appointed for that purpose following an event of default, the Lender may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness and without regard for the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor, or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Indebtedness and shall have a receiver appointed. The Borrower further hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver should Lender elect to seek such relief.

43. Waiver of Right of Offset; Waiver of Deficiency Statutes. No portion of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument shall be or be deemed to be offset or compensated by all or any part of any claim, cause of action, counterclaim, or cross-claim, whether liquidated or unliquidated, that Borrower may have or claim to have against Lender. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies under Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as amended or re-codified (the “Deficiency Statutes”), including without limitation, the right to seek a credit against or offset of any deficiency judgment based on the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property sold at any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure; and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and/or any other party obligated on the Indebtedness secured hereby equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Indebtedness secured hereby and the foreclosure sales price. Alternatively, in the event the foregoing waiver is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact's determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by any of the Deficiency Statues: (a) the Mortgaged Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Mortgaged Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure: (b) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash promptly (but not later than twelve

 

(12) months) following the foreclosure sale; (c) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance premiums, cost of a survey, tax prorations, Attorneys' Fees, and marketing costs; (d) the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Mortgaged Property pending sale, including without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, security, taxes and assessments (without duplication), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (e) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising property similar to the Mortgaged Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Mortgaged Property and taking into consideration the factors set forth above.

 

44. NO SUBORDINATE FINANCING. NO FURTHER ENCUMBRANCES MAY BE RECORDED AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROVISION SHALL CONSTITUTE AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND, AT THE LENDER’S OPTION, THE LOAN SHALL IMMEDIATELY BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. CONSENT TO ONE FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE SUCH CONSENT TO FUTURE OR SUCCESSIVE ENCUMBRANCES.

 

45. WAIVER OF NOTICES. Except as provided in the Note and as otherwise provided herein, unless (and then to the extent not) prohibited by Applicable Law, the Borrower, and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other person liable or to become liable for payment of any of the Indebtedness:

 

 

(i)

waive: opportunity to cure breach or default; grace; all notices, demands and presentments for payment; all notices of dishonor, non-payment, acceleration of maturity or intention to accelerate maturity; protest; dishonor; all other notices whatsoever; and, diligence in taking any action to collect amounts secured hereunder or in the handling of any collateral securing the Obligations at any time; and,

 

 

 

 

(ii)

consent and agree (without notice of any of the following): to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any security for the Obligations or the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable on the Indebtedness; that the Lender shall not be required first to institute suit or exhaust his remedies against the Borrower or others liable or to become liable on the Obligations or to enforce his rights against them or any security therefor; and, to any extension, renewal, rearrangement, or postponement of the time or manner of payment of the Indebtedness and to any other indulgence with respect hereto or thereto. Borrower waives any right of redemption.

46. Usury Savings Provisions. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. If the Applicable Law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined) shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the Applicable Laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Grantor. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note or any other part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness.

47. Covenants Running with the Land; Release. The Obligations contained in this Security Instrument are intended by Borrower, Lender, and Trustee to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property until the lien of this Security Instrument has been fully released by Lender. If the Indebtedness is paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument and the Loan Documents, and if Borrower shall well and truly perform all of the Obligations and Borrower’s covenants contained herein, then this conveyance shall become null and void and the liens hereof shall be released upon Borrower’s request (as approved by Lender) and at Borrower’s expense.

 

48. PROPERTY INSURANCE DISCLOSURE. TEXAS FINANCE CODE SECTION 307.052 COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE NOTICE: (A) BORROWER IS REQUIRED TO (i) KEEP THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY INSURED AGAINST DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT SPECIFIED HEREIN; (ii) PURCHASE THE INSURANCE FROM AN INSURER THAT IS AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OR AN ELIGIBLE SURPLUS LINES INSURER OR OTHERWISE AS PROVIDED HEREIN; AND (iii) NAME LENDER AS THE PERSON TO BE PAID UNDER THE POLICY IN THE EVENT OF A LOSS AS PROVIDED HEREIN; (B) SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS HEREOF, BORROWER MUST, IF REQUIRED BY LENDER, DELIVER TO LENDER A COPY (OR COPIES) OF THE POLICY (OR POLICIES) AND PROOF OF THE PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS; AND (C) SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS HEREOF, IF BORROWER FAILS TO MEET ANY REQUIREMENT LISTED IN THE FOREGOING SUBPARTS (A) OR (B), LENDER MAY OBTAIN COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE ON BEHALF OF BORROWER AT BORROWER'S EXPENSE.

 

49. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS 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.

6.4 Additional Guarantors. Accept or discharge, in whole or in part, additional guarantors;

 

6.5 Order of Sale. Direct the order and manner of any sale of all or any part of security now or later held under the Loan Documents or this Guaranty, and also bid at any such sale to the extent allowed by law; and

 

6.6 Application of Proceeds. Apply any payments or recovery from Borrower, Guarantor, or any source, and any proceeds of any security, to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents in such manner, order, and priority as Lender may elect, whether or not those obligations are guaranteed by this Guaranty or secured at the time of such application.

 

7. Lender’s Rights on Borrower’s Default. Guarantor agrees that on Borrower’s default Lender may elect to nonjudicially or judicially foreclose against all or part of the real or personal property securing Borrower’s obligations, or accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, or compromise or adjust any part of such obligations, or make any other accommodation with Borrower or Guarantor, or exercise any other remedy against Borrower or any security. No such action by Lender shall release or limit Guarantor’s liability to Lender, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Guarantor of the right to collect reimbursement from Borrower or any other person for any sums paid to Lender or bar or prejudice Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, contribution, or indemnity against Borrower or any other person. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, on any foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of any security held by Lender, such security shall no longer exist and that any right that Guarantor might otherwise have, on full payment of the Borrower’s obligations by Guarantor to Lender, to participate in any such security or to be subrogated to any rights of Lender with respect to any such security shall be nonexistent; nor shall Guarantor be deemed to have any right, title, interest, or claim under any circumstances in or to any real or personal property held by Lender or any third party following any foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of any such security. Guarantor again specifically acknowledges and waives the above as more specifically provided for herein.

9. Subordination. Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid or otherwise discharged in full, Guarantor subordinates any and all liability or indebtedness of Borrower owed to Guarantor to the obligations of Borrower to Lender that arise under the Guaranteed Obligations.

10.2 Refund to Borrower. Refund to Borrower any payment received by Lender on any indebtedness guaranteed in this Guaranty, and payment of the amount refunded is fully guaranteed.

If Guarantor does not file any such claim, Lender, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is authorized to do so in Guarantor’s name, or, in Lender’s discretion, to assign the claim and to file a proof of claim in the name of Lender’s nominee. In all such cases, whether in bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Lender the full amount of any such claim, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, Guarantor assigns to Lender all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled.

16. No Waiver Upon Lender’s Lack of Enforcement. No failure or delay by Lender, or its successors and assigns, in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further such exercise or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

 

17. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. This Guaranty is made by Lender and accepted by Guarantor in the State of Texas except that at all times the provisions for the creation, perfection, priority, enforcement and foreclosure of the liens and security interests created in the Real Property Collateral under the Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the state in which each Real Property Collateral is situated.

The parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any dispute, claim or controversy arising, other than with respect to perfection and enforcement of Lender’s rights against the Real Property Collateral, shall be Travis County, Texas, or the applicable federal district court that covers said County, and Guarantor submits to personal jurisdiction in that forum for any and all purposes.

THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. GUARANTOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS OF THE LOAN, BORROWER EACH (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BORROWER AND LENDER TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT BORROWER AND LENDER HAVE ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER BY ENTERING INTO THE LOAN OR ACCEPTING ITS BENEFITS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND THAT EACH SHALL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS, AND (B) FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

37.3 If Guarantor Spouse is not also a Guarantor of this loan and Guarantor or Guarantor Spouse’s state of residence is Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington, or Wisconsin, Guarantor has caused Guarantor Spouse to acknowledge this Guaranty as required on the signature page of this Guaranty.

 

38. Loan Agreement. This Guaranty is subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, which is incorporated herein.

 

39. Security for Guaranty. This Guaranty is not secured by any Collateral (including but not limited to Real Property Collateral) which may secure the Loan, unless the Guarantor(s) are explicitly identified within the subject Security Agreement which also specifically, and separately, states that such Security Agreement secures the Guaranteed Obligations herein.

No right, title or interest of Pledgor in the Company is represented by a certificate of interest or instrument, except such certificates or instruments, if any, as have been delivered to the Lender and are held in its possession, together with transfer documents as required in this Agreement (and Pledgor covenants and agrees that any such certificates or instruments hereafter received by Pledgor with respect to any of the Collateral will be held in trust for the Lender for the benefit of the Lender and promptly delivered to the Lender). No Collateral is held in a securities account.

 

4.5 Other. (i) The pledge and delivery of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, together with the filing of appropriate UCC financing statements, will create a valid perfected security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Lender; and (ii) all Company Interests are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Pledgor represents and warrants that it has not executed or authorized the filing of any financing statement covering any of the Collateral except in favor of Lender, and that no financing statement covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office in any jurisdiction. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Pledgor will not execute, file, or authorize to be filed, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement covering any of the Collateral in which Lender is not named as the sole secured party. Pledgor represents and warrants that there is no personal property of any type or description that is leased to Pledgor, and agrees and warrants that Pledgor will not become the lessee of any personal property without Lender’s prior written consent.

 

4.7.2. Pledgor will comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants, conditions, restrictions, and requirements of governmental authorities now or hereafter affecting the Collateral (collectively, “Applicable Law”).

4.8. Litigation; Attorney Fees.

 

4.8.1. Pledgor will promptly notify Lender of the commencement or threat of commencement of any litigation that seeks to or could materially affect any of the Collateral, the security interest of this Agreement, or the rights or powers of Lender under this Agreement. Pledgor will, at its own expense, appear in and defend any such litigation. Lender will also have the right, but not the obligation, to appear in any such litigation, and Pledgor will pay all costs and expenses (including Attorneys’ Fees) of Lender in so appearing.

 

4.8.2. Pledgor agrees to pay the following costs, expenses, and Attorneys’ Fees paid or incurred by Lender, or adjudged by a court: (a) reasonable costs of collection and costs, expenses, and Attorneys’ Fees paid or incurred in connection with the collection or enforcement of the Loan Documents, whether or not suit is filed; (b) reasonable costs, expenses, and Attorneys’ Fees paid or incurred in connection with representing Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under the Loan Documents; (c) reasonable costs, expenses, and Attorneys’ Fees incurred to protect the lien of the Security Instrument; and (d) costs of suit and such sum as the court may adjudge as Attorneys’ Fees in any action to enforce payment of the Loan Documents or any part of it.

 

In addition to the aforementioned fees, costs, and expenses, Lender shall be entitled to its Attorneys’ Fees, and all other fees, costs, and expenses incurred in any post-judgment proceedings to collect or enforce any judgment. This provision for the recovery of post-judgment fees, costs, and expenses is separate and several and shall survive the merger of this Agreement into any judgment on this Agreement.

 

4.9. Lender’s Right to Perform for Pledgor. If Pledgor fails to make any payment, perform any Obligation, or do any act set forth in or secured by this Agreement, Lender, at Lender’s option, without notice to or demand on Pledgor and without releasing Pledgor from the duty to make such payments, perform such Obligations, or do such acts, then or in the future, may make such payment, perform such Obligation or do such act in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect the security of this Agreement. Without limiting any foregoing clause, Lender may pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien that, in Lender’s sole judgment, appears to be prior or superior to this Agreement. In exercising any such power, Lender may pay all necessary expenses incurred, including Attorneys’ Fees. Pledgor will pay, immediately and without demand, all sums so expended by Lender with interest, from the date of expenditure, at the rate from time to time applicable under the Note.

 

4.10. Pledgor’s Additional Performance. Pledgor will execute any and all further agreements, assignments (including separate assignments of Third Party Agreements), documents, financing statements, and authorizations of financing statements, and take such other further acts, as Lender may reasonably request from time to time, in order to evidence, protect, perfect, or continue the security interest of Lender in the Collateral or otherwise carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

5.2. Lender’s Remedies.

 

5.2.1. If an event of default under this Agreement occurs, Lender may, at its sole option, without notice to or demand on Pledgor, do any one or more of the following:

 

(a) Declare any or all of the Obligations immediately due and payable, regardless of any otherwise applicable maturity date;

 

(b) After giving such notice as may be required by law, if any, foreclose on, sell, lease, license, or otherwise dispose of, nonjudicially and/or by judicial action, in any order, separately or together, at the same or different times and places, any or all of the Collateral and/or any other real or personal property security for the Obligations, without waiving any other part of any of the Collateral or any other such real or personal property security;

 

(c) Require Pledgor to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to Pledgor and Lender;

 

(d) Without removal, render the Collateral unusable and dispose of it on the premises of Pledgor without judicial process, if Lender can do so without a breach of the peace, or by judicial process;

 

(e) Enter on any property where any of the Collateral may be located and possess and remove any or all of the Collateral without judicial process, if Lender can do so without a breach of the peace, or by judicial process;

 

(f) In any sale, lease, license, or other disposition of any Collateral, disclaim any or all warranties of any kind which by law may be disclaimed, and no such disclaimer shall be considered to affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale, lease, license or other disposition;

 

(g) Exclude Pledgor and its successors or assigns, agents, and employees from the Collateral, and hold, store, use, operate, manage, and control the Collateral, and collect and receive all rents, revenues, issues, income, and profits of the Collateral;

 

(h) Exercise any or all other remedies now or in the future available to a secured party under the UCC;

 

(i) Obtain the appointment of a receiver ex parte and without prior notice to Pledgor, which notice Pledgor hereby waives;

 

(j) Obtain specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or in aid of the execution of any power or remedy granted in this Agreement;

 

(k) Exercise rights of Pledgor as owner of the Company Interests, including payments; and

5.2.2. No remedy provided or permitted under this Agreement is exclusive of any other, or of any remedy provided or permitted by law, equity, or any other instrument or agreement evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or relating to any of the Obligations. Each remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy. No exercise of remedies, including foreclosure, against any part of the Collateral will exhaust or extinguish Lender’s rights to exercise remedies, including foreclosure, against any other part of the Collateral until the Obligations are paid in full. No exercise of remedies will extinguish Lender’s rights to exercise remedies, including foreclosure, against the Collateral until the Obligations are paid in full. Lender may exercise any one or more of its remedies at its option without regard to the adequacy of its security.

5.2.3. Lender’s delay or omission in the exercise of any right, remedy, or power accruing on any event of default under this Agreement will not impair such right, remedy, or power or any other, nor will such delay or omission be deemed a waiver of or acquiescence in that or any other event of default.

 

5.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of any disposition or use of Collateral will be applied in the following priority: (a) to pay expenses of taking, holding, preparing for disposition, selling, using, leasing, licensing, otherwise disposing of the Collateral, and the like, including Attorneys’ Fees and costs incurred by Lender; (b) to satisfy all remaining Obligations in such order as Lender may elect; and (c) to satisfy any indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest in the Collateral, if an authenticated demand for such payment is received before distribution of the proceeds is completed. The disposition of any Collateral, the realization of any proceeds, the application of any proceeds, or any one or more of the foregoing shall not operate to cure any nonmonetary or monetary default in or reinstate the Obligations for any purpose, or otherwise affect in any way Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to any remaining Collateral, or any other real or personal property security, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

 

6. Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

6.1. Governing Law; Consent To Jurisdiction And Venue. This Agreement is made by Lender and accepted by Pledgor in the State of Texas except that at all times the provisions for the creation, perfection, priority, enforcement and foreclosure of the liens and security interests created in the Real Property Collateral under the Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the state in which each Real Property Collateral is situated. To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the state in which each Real Property Collateral is situated the law of the State of Texas shall govern the validity and enforceability of all Loan Documents, and the debt or obligations arising hereunder (but the foregoing shall not be construed to limit Lender’s rights with respect to such security interest created in the state in which each Real Property Collateral is situated). The Parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any dispute, claim or controversy arising, other than with respect to perfection and enforcement of Lender’s rights against the Real Property Collateral, shall be Travis County, Texas, or the applicable federal district court that covers said County, and Pledgor submits to personal jurisdiction in that forum for any and all purposes. Pledgor waives any right Pledgor may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to such venue.

 

PLEDGOR’S INITIALS:

 

6.2. Entire Agreement; Modification. The Loan Documents collectively constitute the entire understanding between Lender and Pledgor as to the matters contemplated in those documents and may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by written agreement signed by both parties.

 

6.3. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement or the instruments or agreements reflecting the Obligations are held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, or voidable in any respect, no other provision of this Agreement, or of any such other instrument or agreement, will be affected thereby, and such other provisions will remain binding and enforceable.

Each Indemnitor further agrees that, to the extent that the waiver of its rights of subrogation and contribution as set forth in this Indemnity is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation or contribution such Indemnitor may have shall be junior and subordinate to the rights of each Indemnitee against each Indemnitor under this Indemnity.

Any married person executing this Indemnity agrees that recourse may be had against community assets and against such person’s separate property for the satisfaction of all obligations. If this Indemnity is executed by more than one person or entity, the liability of each such person and entity shall be the joint and several obligations of each of them.

To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the state in which each Property is situated, the law of the State of Texas shall govern the validity and enforceability of all Loan Documents, and the debt or obligations arising hereunder (but the foregoing shall not be construed to limit Lender’s rights with respect to such security interest created in the state in which each Property is situated). The parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any dispute, claim or controversy arising, other than with respect to perfection and enforcement of Lender’s rights against the Real Property Collateral, shall be Travis County, Texas, or the applicable federal district court that covers said County, and Indemnitor submits to personal jurisdiction in that forum for any and all purposes. Indemnitor waives any right Indemnitor may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to such venue.

Such liabilities are herein referred to as liabilities associated with that Series. In the event that there are any liabilities in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Member’s reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate and charge (including indemnification obligations) such liabilities to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any liability so allocated and charged to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be a liability associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series.

The Managing Member has caused notice of this limitation on inter-series liabilities to be set forth in the Certificate of Formation, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 18-215(b) of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 18-207 of the Delaware Act of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Formation) shall apply to the Company and each Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no distribution on or in respect of Interests in a particular Series, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution made in connection with the winding up of such Series, shall be effected by the Company other than from the assets associated with that Series, nor shall any Member or former Member associated with a Series otherwise have any right or claim against the assets associated with any other Series (except to the extent that such Member or former Member has such a right or claim hereunder as a Member or former Member associated with such other Series or in a capacity other than as a Member or former Member).

 

(e) Ownership of Series Assets. Title to and beneficial interest in Series Assets shall be deemed to be held and owned by the relevant Series and no Member or Members of such Series, individually or collectively, shall have any title to or beneficial interest in specific Series Assets or any portion thereof. Each Member of a Series irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain an action for partition with respect to its interest in the Company, any Series or any Series Assets. Any Series Assets may be held or registered in the name of the relevant Series, in the name of a nominee or as the Managing Member may determine; provided, however, that Series Assets shall be recorded as the assets of the relevant Series on the Company’s books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Series Assets is held. Any corporation, brokerage firm or transfer agent called upon to transfer any Series Assets to or from the name of any Series shall be entitled to rely upon instructions or assignments signed or purporting to be signed by the Managing Member or its agents without inquiry as to the authority of the person signing or purporting to sign such instruction or assignment or as to the validity of any transfer to or from the name of such Series.

 

(f) Prohibition on Issuance of Preference Interests. No Interests shall entitle any Member to any preemptive, preferential or similar rights unless such preemptive, preferential or similar rights are set forth in the applicable Series Designation on or prior to the date of the Initial Offering of any interests of such Series (the designation of such preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to a Series in the Series Designation, or the Interest Designation).

 

Section 3.4 Authorization to Issue Interests.

(b) Subject to Section 6.4(a)(i), and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Designation, the Company is authorized to issue in respect of each Series an unlimited number of Interests. All Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this ARTICLE III shall be validly issued Interests in the Company, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

(c) The Company’s transfer agent will maintain the official ownership records of the Interests in book form, the ownership of the Series Interests will also be recorded on the Tirios Blockchain as a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests. A Member will be deemed the record holder with respect to a Series Interest as of any date only if, as of such date, such Series Interest is recorded with the Transfer Agent in book form. The Company will maintain a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests on Blockchain as a Token, which is maintained for recordkeeping purposes of the Company, and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the transfer agent and the blockchain record, the transfer agent’s record will be determinative. A Member shall be entitled to exercise the rights attributed to the Series Interests held by such Member only to the extent that, as of the respective date when such rights are intended to accrue or be exercised, such Member is a record holder of the corresponding number of Series Interests. For these purposes, the Company and our Managing Member shall rely on the information recorded on book entry form with Transfer Agent, and on the Blockchain Token Ledger as of the relevant date and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the transfer agent and the blockchain record, the transfer agent’s record will be determinative.

 

Section 3.5 Voting Rights of Interests Generally. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Series Designation, the Economic Members shall not participate in the decision-making, management or control of the Company’s business and shall have no authority to act for or bind the Company. To the extent that the Economic Members are permitted to vote, (i) each Record Holder of Interests shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/Token for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally, (ii) all Record Holders of Interests (regardless of Series) shall vote together as a single class on all matters as to which all Record Holders of Interests are entitled to vote, (iii) Record Holders of a particular Series of Interest shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/token of the Series for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of the Members of such Series. Any action required by this Agreement or the Act to be taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

Section 3.6 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of an Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, this Agreement or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading (if ever). Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Interests, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Interests.

Section 3.7 Splits.

 

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and Section 3.4, and unless otherwise provided in any Interest Designation, the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Interests of a Series to all Record Holders of such Series, or may effect a subdivision or combination of Interests of any Series, in each case, on an equal per Interest basis and so long as, after any such event, any amounts calculated on a per Interest basis or stated as a number of Interests are proportionately adjusted.

 

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests is declared, the Managing Member shall select a date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective. The Managing Member shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Interests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

 

(c) Subject to Section 3.4 and unless otherwise provided in any Series Designation, the Company shall not issue fractional Interests upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Interests, each fractional Interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole Interest (and a 0.5 Interest shall be rounded to the next higher Interest).

Such registrar may be the Blockchain Token Ledger or separate from the Blockchain Token Ledger.

 

(b) Upon acceptance by the Managing Member of the Transfer of any Interest, Interests/Tokens may be transferred only by following the procedures for transfers available to Economic Members. Each transferee of an Interest (i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Economic Member with respect to the Interests so transferred to such transferee when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company maintained in book form by the Transfer Agent, and as a digital courtesy copy as a Token on the Blockchain Token Ledger, (ii) shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by completing a Form of Adherence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Managing Member in accordance with Section 4.2(g)(ii), (iii) shall become the Record Holder of the Interests so transferred, (iv) grants powers of attorney to the Managing Member and any Liquidator of the Company and each of their authorized officers and attorneys in fact, as the case may be, as specified herein, and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement. The Transfer of any Interests and the admission of any new Economic Member shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement, and no amendment to this Agreement shall be required for the admission of new Economic Members. In case of a conflict between the record held by the Transfer Agent and the blockchain record, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative.

(i) result in the transferee directly or indirectly owning in excess of the Aggregate Ownership Limit or REIT Aggregate Ownership Limit for any Series taxed as a REIT;

 

(ii) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series of Interests, unless such Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the Company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

(v) require registration of the Company, any Series or any Interests under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; or

If a Transfer occurs by reason of the death of an Economic Member or assignee, the notice may be given by the duly authorized representative of the estate of the Economic Member or assignee. The notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and valid assignment in form and substance acceptable to the Managing Member.

To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under paragraph (a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under paragraph (c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this paragraph shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

 

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may, at the option of the Managing Member, be paid by each applicable Series in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by each such Series as authorized in this Section.

 

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement (including without limitation any Series Designation), vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in paragraph (a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in paragraph (a) but whom the Company or an applicable Series has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.

 

(g) The Company and any Series may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

The books of the Company shall be maintained, for tax and financial reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, unless otherwise required by applicable law or other regulatory disclosure requirement.

 

(b) Each Member shall have the right, upon reasonable demand for any purpose reasonably related to the Members Interest as a member of the Company (as reasonably determined by the Managing Member) to such information pertaining to the Company as a whole and to each Series in which such Member has an Interest, as provided in Section 18-305 of the Delaware Act; provided, that prior to such Member having the ability to access such information, the Managing Member shall be permitted to require such Member to enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Managing Member. For the avoidance of doubt, except as may be required pursuant to ARTICLE X, a Member shall only have access to the information (including any Series Designation) referenced with respect to any Series in which such Member has an Interest and not to any Series in which such Member does not have an Interest.

 

(c) Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Series Designation, within 120 calendar days after the end of the fiscal year and 90 calendar days after the end of the semi-annual reporting date, the Managing Member shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to circulate to each Economic Member electronically by e-mail or made available via an online platform:

 

(i) a financial statement of such Series prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which includes a balance sheet, profit and loss statement and a cash flow statement; and

provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or any Series is required to disclose financial information pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (including without limitations periodic reports under the Exchange Act or under Rule 257 under Regulation A of the Securities Act), then compliance with such provisions shall be deemed compliance with this Section 8.1(c) and no further or earlier financial reports shall be required to be provided to the Economic Members of the applicable Series with such reporting requirement.

 

Section 8.2 Fiscal Year. Unless otherwise provided in a Series Designation, the fiscal year for tax and financial reporting purposes of each Series shall be a calendar year ending December 31 unless otherwise required by the Code. The fiscal year for financial reporting purposes of the Company shall be a calendar year ending December 31.

 

ARTICLE IX - TAX MATTERS

 

It is intended that the Company and each Series may elect to be treated as a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that each Series that holds qualifying real estate assets may elect to be treated as a corporation that will elect to be taxed as a REIT, each as determined in the Managing Member’s sole discretion. From the effective date of a Series election to qualify as a REIT until the termination of its status as a REIT, the Managing Member and its officers shall take such action from time to time as the Managing Member determines is necessary or appropriate in order to maintain the Series’ qualification as a REIT; provided, however, if the Managing Member determines in good faith that it is no longer in the best interests of the Series or Company for a Series to continue to be qualified as a REIT, the Managing Member may authorize the Company to revoke or otherwise terminate its REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code. The additional terms in Exhibit B shall apply to the Company or any Series if it has elected to be taxed as a partnership. The additional terms in Exhibit C shall apply to the Company or any Series if it has elected to be taxed as a REIT.

If the Managing Member of a Series and the Property Manager of a Series shall be the same Person or controlled Affiliates, then the Managing Member’s or such affiliate’s appointment as Property Manager of such Series shall concurrently automatically terminate. Prior to its admission as a Managing Member of any Series, any replacement Managing Member shall acquire the Interests held by the departing Managing Member in such Series for fair market value and in cash immediately payable on the Transfer of such Interests and appoint a replacement Property Manager on the same terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Property Management Agreement.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Sections 1.704- l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Treasury Regulations, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 5 of thisExhibit B have been tentatively made as if this Section were not in the Agreement.

 

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in have been tentatively made as if Section (c) above and this Section (d) were not in the Agreement.

 

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective holdings of Series Interests.

 

(f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be specially allocated to the Members who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such items are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

 

(g) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), as an item of Net Profit (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or Net Loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such Net Profit or Net Loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(h) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 5 of this Exhibit B (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Profits and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

4. Curative Allocations. If the Managing Member determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is not specified in Exhibit B (an “unallocated item”), or that the allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members’ economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “misallocated item”), then the Managing Member may allocate such unallocated items, or reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests; provided that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be affected thereby (which consent no such Member may unreasonably withhold) and provided further that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.

5. Tax Allocations.

 

(a) After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 3 of this Exhibit A, Net Profit, Net Loss and items of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Company for each Fiscal Year (or other period) shall be allocated among all Members who were Members during such Fiscal Year (or other period) in a manner that will result in the Capital Account balance for each Member (which balance may be positive or negative), after adjusting the Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions and any special allocations required pursuant to this Agreement for the current and all prior taxable years (or other applicable period), being (as nearly as possible) equal to (x) the amount that would be distributed to the Member if the Company were to sell all of its assets at their current Gross Asset Value, pay all liabilities of the Company (limited, with respect any nonrecourse liabilities, to the value reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts for the assets securing such nonrecourse liabilities), and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, minus (y) the Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain.

 

(b) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Company in any taxable year shall be allocated pro rata to the Members according to the amount of Net Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year.

 

(c) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

 

(d) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted due to a revaluation of Company assets under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

(e) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

 

(f) Allocations pursuant to Section 4 of this Exhibit B are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 2. Number and Qualifications: The Board of Directors shall consist initially of one director and thereafter shall consist of such number as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. The directors need not be stockholders.

 

Section 3. Election of Directors: The directors shall be elected by the stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders.

Removal and Resignation of Directors: Except as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation or as prohibited by applicable law, any director may be removed from the Board of Directors, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock entitled to vote in an election of directors, and the office of such director shall forthwith become vacant.

 

Any director may resign at any time. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, and if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the President or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless so specified therein.

 

Section 6. Filling of Vacancies: Any vacancy among the directors, occurring from any cause whatsoever, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, provided, however, that the stockholders removing any director may at the same meeting fill the vacancy caused by such removal, and provided further, that if the directors fail to fill any such vacancy, the stockholders may at any special meeting called for that purpose fill such vacancy. In case of any increase in the number of directors, the additional directors may be elected by the directors in office before such increase.

 

Any person elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office, subject to the right of removal as hereinbefore provided, until the next annual election and until his or her successor is elected and qualifies.

Any business may be transacted at an adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

 

Section 10.

No notice of the annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be required if it is held immediately after the annual meeting of the stockholders and if a quorum is present.

 

Section 11. Waiver of Notice: Whenever notice to directors is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof, in writing signed by, or by electronic transmission by, the director entitled to the notice, whether before or after such notice is required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance by a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except when the director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special Board of Directors or committee meeting need be specified in any waiver of notice.

Section 13. Quorum; Action at a Meeting: A majority of the Board of Directors at any time in office shall constitute a quorum. At any meeting at which a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of the members present shall be the act of the Board of Directors unless the act of a greater number is specifically required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. The members of the Board of Directors shall act only as the Board of Directors and the individual members thereof shall not have any powers as such.

 

Section 14. Compensation: The directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as directors, but by resolution of the Board of Directors a fixed fee and expenses of attendance may be allowed for attendance at each meeting. Nothing herein contained shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity, as an officer, agent or otherwise, and receiving compensation therefor.

 

 

 

 

Section 15. Action Without a Meeting: Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

Meetings Through Use of Communications Equipment: Members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, shall, except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, have the power to participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

 

Section 17. Committees of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. If a member of a committee shall be absent from any meeting, or disqualified from voting thereat, the remaining member or members present at the meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it to the extent so authorized by the Board of Directors. Unless the Board of Directors provides otherwise, at all meetings of such committee, a majority of the then authorized members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the members of the committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the committee. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings. Unless the Board of Directors provides otherwise, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may make, alter, and repeal rules and procedures for the conduct of its business. In the absence of such rules and procedures each committee shall conduct its business in the same manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to this Article III.

Section 6. Indemnification:

 

(a) Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law any person (his or her heirs, executors and administrators) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative, arbitration, or investigative proceeding, including without limitation a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer or in any other capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding if, with respect to the acts or omissions of such person, such person (i) acted in good faith, (ii) received no improper personal benefit, (iii) with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful, and (iv) reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interest of the Corporation (or if, at the Corporation’s request, such person served for another organization, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation). The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not satisfy the criteria of the preceding sentence.

 

The Corporation may indemnify any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent or in any other capacity of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in the manner and to the extent that it shall indemnify any director or officer under this Section 6.

 

(b) Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 6(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6(a). Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority of a quorum, not counting any directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding for determining either a majority or the presence of a quorum, (ii) if a quorum under clause (i) of this Section 6(b) cannot be obtained, by a majority of a committee or by a majority of a committee of the Board of Directors, consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding, duly designated to act in the matter by a majority of the full Board of Directors, including directors who are parties, (iii) by a special legal counsel, or (iv) as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

 

 

 

(c) Right to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6, to the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 6(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by the Corporation on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon (i) receipt of written affirmation by the person of a good-faith belief that the applicable criteria for indemnification have been satisfied and a written undertaking by the person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the Corporation, if the ultimate determination is that the criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied, and (ii) after a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification.

 

(e) Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Section 6 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, any agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

(f) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against liability under the provisions of this Section 6.

 

(g) Continuity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in this Section 6 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENTS.

For mortgage interest paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), and generally, payments other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the certification, but you must provide your correct TIN. See the instructions for Part II, later.

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Future developments. For the latest information about developments related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW9.

Purpose of Form

An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.

 

· Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

·Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

·Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

·Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

· Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

· Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

·Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

· Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

· Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

 

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.

 

 

 

 

 

By signing the filled-out form, you:

 

1.Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3.Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and

4.Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information.

 

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

 

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

 

·An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

·A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

·An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

·A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

 

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your

U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

 

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.

 

·In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

·In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

·In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

 

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

 

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

 

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

 

1.The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3.The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5.Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

 

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

 

·Backup Withholding

 

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

 

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

 

1.You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2.You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),

3.The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4.The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5.You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

 

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.

 

·What is FATCA Reporting?

 

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form for more information.

 

·Updating Your Information

 

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of agrantor trust dies.

 

·Penalties

 

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

 

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

 

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

 

Specific Instructions

 

Line 1

 

You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

 

If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9.

 

a.Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

 

Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.

 

b.  Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2.

 

c.  Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C corporation, or S corporation. Enter the entity's name as shown on the entity's tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

 

d.  Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

 

e.  Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner's name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1- 800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days.

 

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

 

Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

 

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

 

Part II. Certification

 

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, 4, or 5 below indicates otherwise.

 

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code, earlier.

 

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 5 below.

 

 

 

 

 

1.Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2.Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply.

3.Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

4.Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5.Mortgage interest paid by you, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, qualified tuition program payments (under section 529), ABLE accounts (under section 529A), IRA, Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA or HSA contributions or distributions, and pension distributions.

Note: If no name is circled when more than one name is listed, the number will be considered to be that of the first name listed.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

Privacy Act Notice

 

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer.

 

Certain penalties may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information.
