3. Covenants of Borrower . Borrower promises to keep each of the covenants set forth below, unless Bank has waived compliance in writing.

      3.1 Compliance with Law .

      3.2 Site Visits.

          (a) Bank and its agents and representatives shall have the right to enter and visit the Property at any reasonable time for the purposes of observing or inspecting the Property, performing an appraisal, taking soil or ground water samples, and conducting tests, among other things to investigate for the presence of Hazardous Substances. Bank shall also have the right to examine, copy and audit the books, records, accounting data and other documents of Borrower in accordance with Section 3.20 below. In each instance, Bank shall give Borrower reasonable notice before entering the Property and make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Borrower’s use of the Property when exercising any of the rights granted in this Section.

          (b) Bank has no duty to visit the Property, or to observe or inspect it, or to examine any books or records. Any site visit, observation, or examination by Bank is solely for the purpose of protecting Bank’s rights and interests. No site visit, observation, or examination by Bank shall impose any liability on Bank or result in a waiver of any default of Borrower. Neither Borrower nor any other party is entitled to rely

12


 

on any site visit, observation, or examination by Bank. Bank owes no duty of care to protect Borrower or any other party against, or to inform Borrower or any other party of, any other adverse condition affecting the Property, including any defects in the design or construction of the improvements located on the Property, or the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property. Bank shall not be obligated to disclose to Borrower or any other party any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation, or examination by Bank.

      3.3 Insurance .

          (a) Borrower shall provide, maintain, and keep in force at all times prior to repayment of the Loans:

          (i) All risk property damage insurance covering the Property, with a policy limit in an amount not less than the full insurable value of the Property on a replacement cost basis. The policy shall insure the Property against loss or damage by: (A) fire and lightning; (B) other risks embraced by the type of coverage known as All Risk; and (C) such other risks or hazards as Bank may designate as required by Bank’s current policy so long as such requirements are commercially reasonable. The policy shall include replacement cost and agreed amount coverage. The policy shall provide coverage for rent loss (or business interruption, if more appropriate) in an amount equal to twelve (12) months’ principal and interest payments, taxes, and insurance premiums.

          (ii) Commercial General Liability coverage with such limits as Bank may require as required by Bank’s current policy so long as such requirements are commercially reasonable. This policy shall name Bank as an additional insured. Coverage shall be written on an occurrence, not claims made, basis.

          (b) Borrower shall provide, maintain, and keep in force at all times prior to repayment of the Loans, any and all additional insurance Bank in its reasonable judgment may from time to time require, against commonly insured hazards for similarly situated properties. Such additional insurance may include flood insurance as required by federal law and earthquake and/or sinkhole insurance as required by Bank. At Bank’s request, Borrower shall supply Bank with an original, countersigned original, or certified copy of any policy. All policies of insurance required under the Loan Documents shall be issued by companies approved by Bank having an A.M. Best’s rating acceptable to Bank, with limits, coverage, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates and cancellation provisions acceptable to Bank, and shall provide that all proceeds be payable to Bank to the extent of its interest. An approval by Bank is not, and may not be deemed to be, a representation of the solvency of any insurer or the sufficiency of any amount of insurance. Each policy of insurance required under the Loan Documents shall provide that it may not be modified or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Bank. When any required insurance policy expires, Borrower shall furnish Bank with proof acceptable to Bank that the policy has been reinstated or a new policy issued, continuing in force the insurance covered by the expired policy. Borrower shall also furnish evidence satisfactory to Bank that all premiums for such policy have been paid within thirty (30) days of renewal or issuance. If Bank fails to receive such proof and evidence, Bank has the right, but not the obligation, to obtain current coverage and advance funds to pay the premiums for it. Borrower shall repay Bank immediately on demand for any advance for such premiums, which will be an additional loan to Borrower bearing interest at the Default Rate and secured by the Deed of Trust, the Security Agreement, and any other collateral held by Bank in connection with the Loans. As to all policies of insurance provided by Borrower, Borrower shall be named as the insured and any additional insured parties shall be subject to Bank’s approval. As to all policies of insurance provided by a third party other than Borrower (e.g., any tenant), Borrower shall be named as an additional insured.

13


 

      3.4 Payment of Expenses . Borrower shall pay Bank’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the making, disbursement, and administration of the Loans. Borrower shall also pay any and all of Bank’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with any revisions, extensions, renewals, or “workouts” of any Loan, and in the exercise of any of Bank’s rights or remedies under this Agreement. Such costs and expenses include charges for title insurance (including endorsements), filing, recording, and escrow charges, fees for appraisal and appraisal review, environmental services, mortgage taxes, document review and preparation, reasonable legal fees and expenses of Bank’s counsel, and any other reasonable fees and costs for services, regardless of whether such services are furnished by Bank’s employees or agents or independent contractors. Borrower acknowledges that amounts payable under this Section are not included in any loan or commitment fees for the Loans. All such sums incurred by Bank and not immediately reimbursed by Borrower will be considered an additional loan to Borrower secured by the Deed of Trust and the Security Agreement(s) and bearing interest at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to limit Borrower’s liability to Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) for all legal fees Bank incurs up to and including the time the Loans close. No limitation applies to Borrower’s obligations to pay any other costs and expenses of Bank, whenever incurred, or to pay any and all legal fees Bank may incur after the closing of the Loans.
