Reserve Accounts All unexpended funds in project reserve accounts shall remain with the Project to be used for the benefit of the property and/or its residents. The minimum replacement reserve deposit for projects shall be $ per unit per year. The on- going funding of the replacement reserve in this amount is a requirement of this Agreement during the Compliance Period, and the Owner shall maintain these reserves in a segregated account. Funds in the replacement reserve shall only be used for capital improvements or repairs. An operating reserve shall be funded in an amount equal to three months of estimated operating expenses and debt service under stabilized occupancy. Additional funding will be required only if withdrawals result in a reduction of the operating reserve account balance to 50% or less of the originally funded amount. An equal, verified operating reserve requirement of any other debt or equity source may be used as a substitute, and the reserve may be released following achievement of a minimum annual debt service ratio of 1.15 for three consecutive years following stabilized occupancy only to pay deferred developer fee. Upon Committee approval, operating reserve amounts in excess of industry norms may be considered “reasonable costs,” for purposes of this subsection, only for homeless assistance projects under the Non- Profit Set-Aside, as described in Section 10315(b), Special Needs projects, HOPE VI projects, or project based Section 8 projects. The original Sources and Uses budget and the final cost certification shall demonstrate the initial and subsequent funding of the operating reserves.
Operating Accounts (a) Maintain all of Borrower’s Collateral Accounts in accounts which are subject to a Control Agreement in favor of Collateral Agent, which Control Agreement must be in such form and substances as is reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent (it being agreed and understood that the Control Agreements that Collateral Agent is entering into with respect to Borrower’s Collateral Accounts maintained with Bank of America on the Effective Date are not in such form and substance as is not reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent).
(b) Borrower shall provide Collateral Agent five (5) days’ prior written notice before Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries establishes any Collateral Account. In addition, for each Collateral Account that Borrower at any time maintains, Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial institution at or with which such Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Collateral Agent’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder prior to the establishment of such Collateral Account, which Control Agreement must be in such form and substance as is reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent and may not be terminated without prior written consent of Collateral Agent. The provisions of the previous sentence and subsection (a) above shall not apply to (i) deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to Collateral Agent by Borrower as such in the Perfection Certificates and (ii) BofA Credit Card Account so long as such account is maintained exclusively for the purpose of securitizing Borrower’s Indebtedness described in clause (g) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness and the balance in such account does not exceed Three Hundred One Thousand Dollars ($301,000.00).
(c) Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall maintain any Collateral Accounts except Collateral Accounts maintained in accordance with Sections 6.6(a) and (b); provided, however, Borrower may continue to maintain its Collateral Accounts, set forth on the Perfection Certificates on the Effective Date, with Bank of America; provided, further, that Borrower shall close all of its Collateral Accounts maintained with Bank of America on the Effective Date (other than the BofA Credit Card Account) and deliver to Collateral Agent evidence (in such form and substance as is reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent) of closure of all of such Collateral Accounts within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.
Reserve Account (i) On the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit the Specified Reserve Balance into the Reserve Account. Amounts held from time to time in the Reserve Account shall be held by the Trust Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Noteholders.
(ii) The Seller may, from time to time after the date hereof, request each Rating Agency to approve a formula for determining the Specified Reserve Balance that is different from the formula set forth herein, which may result in a decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Balance or change the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if each Rating Agency then rating the Notes notifies the Seller (who shall send such notification to the Trust Collateral Agent) in writing that the use of any such new formula, and any decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Balance or change in the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded, will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then current rating of the Notes then the Specified Reserve Balance will be determined in accordance with such new formula and this Agreement will be amended to reflect such new formula without the consent of any Noteholder.
(iii) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trust Collateral Agent (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) (A) if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (without taking into account any amount on deposit in the Reserve Account representing net investment earnings) is less than the Specified Reserve Balance, in which case the Trust Collateral Agent shall, after payment of any amounts required to be distributed pursuant to clauses (i) through (xviii) of Section 5.7(a) deposit in the Reserve Account the Reserve Account Deposit Amount pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(xix), and (B) if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, after giving effect to all other deposits thereto and withdrawals therefrom to be made on such Distribution Date is greater than the Specified Reserve Balance, in which case the Trust Collateral Agent shall distribute the amount of such excess as part of Available Funds on such Distribution Date.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Trust Collateral Agent (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) to withdraw the Reserve Account Withdrawal Amount from the Reserve Account and deposit such amounts in the Collection Account to be included as Total Available Funds for that Distribution Date.
(c) Amounts properly transferred to the Certificate Distribution Account for payment to the Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement shall not be available to the Trust Collateral Agent or the Trust for the purpose of making deposits to the Reserve Account, or making payments to the Noteholders, nor shall the Certificateholder be required to refund any amount properly received by them.
Operating Account To the extent funds are not required to be placed in a lockbox pursuant to any Loan Documents, Property Manager shall deposit all rents and other funds collected from the operation of the Property in a reputable bank or financial institution in a special trust or depository account or accounts for the Property maintained by Property Manager for the benefit of the Company (such accounts, together with any interest earned thereon, shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Operating Account”). Property Manager shall maintain books and records of the funds deposited in and withdrawals from the Operating Account. With funds from Company, Property Manager shall maintain the Operating Account so that an amount at least as great as the budgeted expenses for such month is in the Operating Account as of the first of each month. From the Operating Account, Property Manager shall pay the operating expenses of the Property and any other payments relative to the Property as required by this Agreement. If more than one account is necessary to operate the Property, each account shall have a unique name, except to the extent any Lender requires sub-accounts within any account. Within three (3) months after receipt by Property Manager, all rents and other funds collected in the Operating Account, after payment of all operating expenses, debt service and such amounts as may be determined by the Property Manager to be retained for reserves or improvements, shall be paid to the Company.
Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow Accounts The Company shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds deposited in each Escrow Account shall at all times be insured in a manner to provide maximum insurance under the insurance limitations of the FDIC, or must be invested in Permitted Investments. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Company in accordance with Section 4.07. The creation of any Escrow Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the form shown in Exhibit C. The original of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and upon request to any subsequent purchaser. The Company shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein:
(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property; and
(iii) all Servicing Advances for Mortgagors whose Escrow Payments are insufficient to cover escrow disbursements. The Company shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be as set forth or in accordance with Section 4.07. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Company shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes. The Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses suffered with respect to investment of funds in the Escrow Account.
