Debt Service Ratio: The loan will require an on-going minimum debt service

dividing the actual annual net operating income, before
depreciation and interest expense, by the annual loan
payments. Bank will monitor compliance on an annual
basis for each previous 12 month period. Should the DSR
be less than a 1.15 during the test period, the borrower
will have 60 days to provide a written plan for bringing the
properties into compliance by the next test period. If an
annual test shows the DSR for the properties falls below a
1.10, we will re-test the DSR after six months. If the
properties are still below a 1.10 after six months, we will
require that the Borrower right-size the loan.
Reserves for Taxes and Insurance: Bank will not be collecting reserves for taxes and
insurance. Borrower will be responsible for the payment
of property taxes and hazard insurance. Borrower will be
