Company shall be entitled to receive as a cash payment any remaining undisbursed amounts of the Gas Company Tenant Improvement Allowances that are not disbursed within six (6) months after the “Commencement Date” (as defined in the Gas Company Lease), and therefore such disbursement of remaining amounts of the Gas Company Tenant Improvement Allowances (if any) may not pertain to specific improvement costs incurred by Gas Company.  Any disbursement by Lender hereunder in excess of $25,000.00 and not already paid for by Borrowers shall be made by joint check, payable to Borrowers and Gas Company (or the applicable party designated by Gas Company, to whom payment is due in connection with such disbursement).  Lender may require an inspection of the Gas Company Space at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a disbursement in order to verify compliance with the requirements of this Section 7.8.2.  Within ten (10) Business Days following the disbursement of the final Gas Company Tenant Improvement Allowances payment to Borrowers, Borrowers shall furnish to Lender a written confirmation from Gas Company, confirming that the entire “Tenant Improvement Allowance” (as defined in the Gas Company Lease) has been paid in full by Borrowers.  Following such written confirmation, any amounts remaining in the Gas Company TI Allowance Reserve Account collected pursuant to Section 7.8.1(a) hereof (if any) shall be transferred to the Rollover Reserve Account, and held by Lender as Rollover Reserve Funds, provided, however, that if Borrowers so request, in writing and simultaneously with the furnishing of such written confirmation, Lender shall instead transfer such amounts (if any) to the Debt Service Reserve Account and such funds shall be held as Debt Service Reserve Funds.  For the avoidance of doubt, no such transfer to the Debt Service Reserve Account shall reduce or offset any future obligation of Borrowers to make deposits into the Debt Service Reserve Account pursuant to Section 7.9.1 hereof.
 
(b)           Amounts collected by Lender pursuant to Section 7.8.1(b) above, shall be held, subject to Section 7.7(a) hereof, by Lender for the payment of the “Mid-Term Allowance” (as defined in the Gas Company Lease), and Borrowers shall not be entitled to any disbursements of such amounts, provided that on the Maturity Date, if the Loan and any other amounts then due are repaid in full and the Borrowers otherwise perform in full all Obligations, and provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, then Borrowers shall be entitled, upon request and at their expense, to the return, in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Cash Management Agreement, of any funds collected pursuant to Section 7.8.1(b) above and not yet disbursed or applied by Lender.  For the avoidance of doubt, funds held in the Gas Company TI Allowance Reserve Account shall not be available to pay any “Expansion Space Allowance” (as defined in the Gas Company Lease).”
 
(vii) The following provisions are hereby added to the Loan Agreement as Section 7.9 thereof:
 
“Section 7.9              Debt Service Reserve Funds.

Lender the sum of $58,550.00, which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for shortfalls in the payment of Debt Service and other amounts due to Lender under the Loan Documents.  All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve Account”.  Debt Service Reserve Funds shall be disbursed and applied by Lender from time to time in accordance with Section 7.9.2 hereof.
 
 
7.9.2           Withdrawal of Debt Service Reserve Funds.  Provided that no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, to the extent that the Cash Management Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay the monthly Debt Service payment in full, together with any payments required to be made to any Reserve Funds and any other amounts then due and payable to Lender on any Payment Date, the Debt Service Reserve Funds shall be applied in an amount determined by Lender (which determination by Lender shall be final), necessary to pay in full any monthly Debt Service payment and any other amounts due to Lender and payable on such Payment Date.  Borrowers agree and acknowledge that the insufficiency of funds then on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not relieve or otherwise limit Borrowers’ obligation to pay any Debt Service payment, any payments required to be made to any Reserve Funds or any other amounts then due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.”
 
4. Other Provisions Regarding the Loan Agreement.
 
(a) Without in any way limiting Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees: (i) to forward to Lender, immediately upon receipt, copies of any notices delivered by Gas Company under Section 9.3 of the Gas Company Lease; (ii) that any failure to make repairs and/or perform maintenance in a timely manner that Borrower is required to make and/or perform under the Gas Company Lease, shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(xiv) of the Loan Agreement (subject to any applicable notice and cure periods set forth therein); (iii) to forward to Lender, immediately upon receipt, copies of any invoices delivered by Gas Company under Section 9.3 of the Gas Company Lease; (iv) that any failure by Borrower, within the time period set forth in the Gas Company Lease, to either pay such invoices or deliver to Gas Company a detailed written objection as set forth in the Gas Company Lease, shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(xiv) of the Loan Agreement (subject to any applicable notice and cure periods set forth therein); and (v) any failure by Borrower to pay an initial judgment in favor Gas Company, as set forth in the second paragraph of Section 9.3 of the Gas Company Lease, shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(xiv) of the Loan Agreement (subject to any applicable notice and cure periods set forth therein) unless Borrower is then diligently pursuing an appeal of such initial judgment.  Without in any way limiting Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby further acknowledges and agrees that any failure by Borrower to pay any leasing commission or broker’s commission in connection with the Gas Company Lease, as and when due, shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(xiv) of the Loan Agreement (subject to any applicable notice and cure periods set forth therein).

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any leasing commissions and/or broker’s commissions paid or payable at any time in connection with the leasing of the “Initial Space” (as defined in the Amended Lease) or the “Hold Space” (as defined in the Amended Lease) are not, and shall not be deemed to be, “Approved Leasing Expenses” for the purposes of the Loan Agreement, and Borrowers shall not be entitled to request disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Account for the payment of any such leasing commissions and/or broker’s commissions.  For the sake of clarity and avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers may request disbursements from the Rollover Reserve to pay leasing commissions and/or broker’s commissions (if any) payable in connection with any expansion right (other than the “Hold Space Option,” as defined in the Amended Lease) or right of first refusal on vacant space (if any) pursuant to the Amended Lease, to the extent such leasing commissions and/or broker’s commissions otherwise satisfy the definition of Approved Leasing Expenses.
