Application of Miscellaneous Proceeds upon Damage to Property Sample Clauses
The "Application of Miscellaneous Proceeds upon Damage to Property" clause defines how any additional funds received as a result of property damage—such as insurance payouts or compensation from third parties—are to be handled. Typically, this clause specifies that such proceeds must be used to repair or restore the damaged property, or, in some cases, to pay down any outstanding mortgage or loan balances if repairs are not undertaken. Its core function is to ensure that any unexpected funds related to property damage are applied in a manner that protects the interests of both the property owner and the lender, preventing misuse of these proceeds and maintaining the value of the collateral.
Application of Miscellaneous Proceeds upon Damage to Property. If the Property is damaged, any Miscellaneous Proceeds will be applied to restoration or repair of the Property, if Lender deems the restoration or repair to be economically feasible and Lender’s security will not be lessened by such restoration or repair. During such repair and restoration period, Lender will have the right to hold such Miscellaneous Proceeds until Lender has had an opportunity to inspect the Property to ensure the work has been completed to Lender’s satisfaction (which may include satisfying Lender’s minimum eligibility requirements for persons repairing the Property, including, but not limited to, licensing, bond, and insurance requirements) provided that such inspection must be undertaken promptly. Lender may pay for the repairs and restoration in a single disbursement or in a series of progress payments as the work is completed, depending on the size of the repair or restoration, the terms of the repair agreement, and whether Borrower is in Default on the Loan. Lender may make such disbursements directly to Borrower, to the person repairing or restoring the Property, or payable jointly to both. Unless Lender and Borrower agree in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on such Miscellaneous Proceeds, Lender will not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such Miscellaneous Proceeds. If Lender deems the restoration or repair not to be economically feasible or Lender’s security would be lessened by such restoration or repair, the Miscellaneous Proceeds will be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. Such Miscellaneous Proceeds will be applied in the order that Partial Payments are applied in Section 2(b).
