The Work will continue diligently and in a good and workmanlike manner in strict accordance with the Construction Contract, architectural plans, permits, Government Regulations and all other requirements to complete the Work as agreed.

Lender may order Work stopped, replaced, and corrected if Lender reasonably believes that any work or materials do not conform to the Plans, Government Regulations, or sound building practice. Lender may do this even if the work or materials have been incorporated into the Improvements. Borrower will promptly correct the deficiency. The Completion Date will not be extended by any such stoppage. Lender may withhold Advances while the Work is stopped.
Lender inspections are for Lender’s benefit only. Lender inspections create no liability or responsibility to Borrower, Contractor, any Suppliers, or any third parties. Further, Lender is not obligated to inspect the Property or the Work.
Borrower is Responsible for the Work.

Further, Lender is not liable for any costs of the Work. And nothing Lender does (including inspecting the Work or making an Advance) or does not do will be a representation or warranty by Lender that the Work complies with the Plans, Construction Contract, architectural plans, permits, Government Regulations and all other requirements to complete the Work. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ asks, Borrower will repair or replace, at Borrower’s expense, any Work that does not comply as aforesaid. Borrower has no right to assert or claim any offset, counterclaim or defense against Lender because of any claim Borrower has against Contractor, any Suppliers or any other third-parties.
Assumption of Risk. Borrower is aware of the risks and hazards inherent in construction and voluntarily assumes all loss and damage of any kind or nature involving the architects, engineers, contractors, builders, and any others associated with the Improvements, Site Improvements or the Work, and their agents, employees, and material-men.
Borrower acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has selected all architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, and builders, as well as all others furnishing services or materials for the Work/Plan(s), personally or through ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, builders, or material-men; and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that Lender has and shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, builders, or material-men or for the quality of their materials or workmanship, it being understood that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole function(s) is/are that of Lender; and the only consideration passing from Lender to Borrower is the Loan proceeds in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
No Third-Party Claims to Materials Used. Borrower will not allow the use of any materials, equipment or fixtures that are subject to any lease, conditional sales contract or other type of title retention or security interest or agreement under which the material, equipment or fixtures may be removed or repossessed and under which title to any of such material, equipment, or fixtures is not completely vested in Borrower at the time of installation.

Borrower will pay all costs and expenses required to satisfy the conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (1) Change Orders; (2) all taxes and assessments applicable to the Property; (3) all fees for filing and recording the Loan Documents, as applicable; (4) all fees and commissions lawfully due to brokers, salespersons, and agents in connection with the Loan or the Property; (5) all fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel; (6) all title insurance and title examination charges, including premiums for the Title Policy; (7) all Survey costs and expenses; (8) all premiums for the insurance policies Borrower is required to provide; (9) all inspection fees; (10) all costs for labor, materials, and services used, performed, or furnished in connection with the Work; and (11) all other actual costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

5
Title Insurance. Borrower will pay for the Title Policy. Title Company will be a title company of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s choice, subject to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s reasonable approval. The Title Policy will be a standard ALTA loan policy of title insurance, without exceptions, and with any endorsements Lender may reasonably require, in the amount of the Loan, including protective advances, in favor of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and assignable without additional cost, showing Borrower has clear title to the Property and insuring the Security Instrument to be a valid first lien in/on the Property, Improvements and Site Improvements, free and clear of all defects and encumbrances, except those Lender approves, if any, and which shall contain (1) affirmative coverage against mechanic’s liens, (2) an undertaking by the Title Company to provide the notice of title continuation or endorsement, and (3) a pending disbursement clause in form satisfactory to Lender. Prior to the closing of the Loan, Borrower will provide a commitment of/from the Title Company to issue the Title Policy. As the Work is completed, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will satisfy the Lender’s and Title Company’s requirements to issue an endorsement so that the amount of insurance is always at least the amount of the Loan disbursed and the Security Instrument remains insured as a first lien after each Advance.
Title and Claims. Borrower (1) will not create nor allow any lien or encumbrance, whether voluntary or involuntary, to be imposed on the Property, improvements, or Site improvements; and (2) will not transfer ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s title to, nor any interest in, the Property or any portion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s title without ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s prior express, written consent (if granted in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion). Additionally, Borrower will not consent to and will notify Lender and Title Company, in writing, within three calendar days, and in any event prior to a Draw Request, of any lien, security instrument, or any other claim of interest in the Property or any part of the Property being filed by a Government Authority or any other party.
Survey. Borrower will pay for all Surveys, as required herein. Each Survey will be certified and satisfactory to both Lender and Title Company.
Borrower’s Insurance. Borrower will get a standard hazard insurance policy for at least the face amount of the Note with the normal conditions including fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, course-of-construction endorsement, and a loss payable endorsement naming Lender as payee. Borrower will also get any additional coverage required in the Security Instrument. Borrower will notify Lender immediately of any fire or other casualty relating to the Property or the Work. This insurance will be effective when Contractor’s Insurance terminates. The policy will have a deductible of no more than $5,000.00.
At least 30 days before the expiration of each policy Borrower is required to maintain, Borrower will furnish Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender of the payment of such premium and the reissuance of a policy continuing insurance in force as required under the Loan Documents. All such policies shall contain a provision that such policies will not be canceled or materially amended, which term shall include any reduction in the scope or limits of coverage, without at least 30 days prior written notice to Lender. If Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force, or deliver and furnish to Lender any of the policies of insurance required under the Loan Documents, Lender may buy such insurance, and until Borrower reimburses Lender, the amount of all such premiums, together with interest thereon at the rate stated in the Note unless a lesser rate of interest is specified by applicable law, then at the lesser rate, and as extended, amended, and renewed from time to time, shall be secured by the Security Instrument.
Loan Commitment Amount. As of the closing date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ commits to disburse Loan principal in the total Loan Commitment Amount. After the closing date, the Loan Commitment Amount will equal the face amount of the Loan less the total amount of Advances made to date, except that portion of any Advance advanced from the Loan-in-Process Account, if applicable, as may be set forth below. Any Loan Commitment Amount that remains after all Advances have been made will be credited as a partial prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan at the time of the final Advance. If, at any time, the Loan Commitment Amount plus any amount in the Loan-in-Process Account is not enough to pay the amount scheduled for any Advance, Borrower will promptly pay the difference from Borrower’s own funds.
No Changes. Unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees in writing first, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not change the Plans or the Construction Contract, or permit any part of any Advance to be paid except as specified in a Draw Request or as otherwise intended by Lender.
Trust Fund. If an escrow account is not used for disbursement of Advances, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will receive all Advances in trust and will apply the Advances exclusively to the payment of the cost of the Work before using any part for any other purpose.
Construction to Permanent Loan. This is a Construction to Permanent Loan. On the Conversion Date this Loan will convert from a construction loan as more fully described in the Note. All applicable covenants, warranties, promises and duties will remain in full force and effect for the duration of the Repayment Period until the Loan is paid in full.

No hazardous materials are located on the Property or have been released into the environment or deposited, discharged, placed or disposed of at, on, under or near the Property. No portion of the Property is being used or, to Borrower’s knowledge, has been used at any time for the disposal, storage, treatment, processing, or other handling of hazardous materials. The Property is not affected by any hazardous materials contamination. And ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay for any and all environmental reviews engaged, with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s advance notice, by an individual or firm selected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
