(a) No Partial Release of a Partial Release Property will be permitted until after the First Open Defeasance Date or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. No Partial Release of the Partial Release Property will be permitted on or after the First Open Payment Date. No more than two Partial Release Properties may be released during the term of the Loan.
(b) No Partial Release of the Partial Release Parcel will be permitted unless Borrower establishes to Lender’s satisfaction that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the remainder of the Mortgaged Property (i.e., exclusive of any income from the Partial Release Property) is and shall continue to be equal to or greater than the greater of (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Mortgaged Property calculated immediately prior to the Partial Release (i.e., inclusive of the income from the Partial Release Property), and (ii) 1.30:1.00. If the foregoing condition would not be satisfied by defeasance of the Partial Defeasance Amount indicated in subparagraph (e) below, Borrower may by written notice to Lender given not less than ten (10) days prior to the Partial Defeasance increase the Partial Defeasance Amount to an amount which would result in the foregoing condition being satisfied upon completion of the Partial Defeasance of such larger Partial Defeasance Amount. No Partial Defeasance, nor any increase in any Partial Defeasance Amount under this paragraph (b) or paragraphs (c) below, shall affect the allocated loan amounts for the remaining Mortgaged Property as set forth on Schedule 2.17.
(c) No Partial Release of the Partial Release Parcel will be permitted unless Borrower establishes to Lender’s satisfaction that the value of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property (as determined by then-current Appraisals prepared by Appraisers approved by Lender, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by Borrower) is sufficient to satisfy a loan-to-value ratio (based on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the Partial Release, less the allocated loan amount for the Partial Release Property) which is the lesser of (i) 75% and (ii) the loan-to-value ratio for the Mortgaged Property (inclusive of the Partial Release Property, and based on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the Partial Release) calculated immediately prior to the Partial Release. If the foregoing condition would not be satisfied by defeasance of the Partial Defeasance Amount indicated in subparagraph (e) below, Borrower may by written notice to Lender given not less than ten (10) days prior to the Partial Defeasance increase the Partial Defeasance Amount to an amount which would result in the foregoing condition being satisfied upon completion of the Partial Defeasance of such larger Partial Defeasance Amount.
(d) The Partial Release shall be allowed only in connection with a bona fide all-cash sale of the Partial Release Parcel to an unaffiliated third party on arms-length terms and conditions, and upon closing of such sale (and thereafter) shall not be owned, purchased or acquired by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.
(e) Borrower will on the date of the Partial Release (the “Partial Release Date”) complete a Partial Defeasance, pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, of a portion of the Loan (the “Partial Defeasance Amount” for such Partial Release Property) equal to 125% of the allocated loan amount for the Partial Release Property set forth on Schedule 2.17 hereto; provided, that if Borrower elects in connection with a Partial Defeasance of a Partial Release Property to increase the Partial Defeasance Amount for such Partial Release Property pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs (b) and/or (c) above, the Partial Defeasance Amount for such Partial Release Property shall be such higher amount for purposes of such Partial Defeasance.
(f) Borrower will execute (and Guarantor will consent in writing thereto and reaffirm their obligations under the Loan Documents to which they are a party notwithstanding the Partial Release) and deliver all such amendments to the Loan Documents and other instruments or documents as may be required by Lender (using commercial standards customarily applied with respect to mortgage loans such as the Loan) in order to continue to fully protect Lender’s lien and security interest in the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
(g) Borrower will cause the Master Homesite Lease(s) to be amended to exclude the Partial Release Property pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(h) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain endorsements to Lender’s loan policy of title insurance satisfactory in form and content to Lender, which endorsements will (a) affirmatively evidence the continued validity of Lender’s first lien position created by the Loan Documents through the date of recordation of the partial release of the Partial Release Property, and (b) insure that the lien created by the Loan Documents remains a valid first lien on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
(i) Borrower shall pay for the costs of preparing and recording partial releases, UCC-3 releases, and any loan modification documents, easements, declarations, and/or restrictive covenants required by Lender, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, all survey charges and costs, all title premiums and costs, documentary stamps incurred in connection with the release of the Partial Release Property in accordance with the requirements contained herein, and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the requested release of the Partial Release Property.

(a) There shall not be a Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any other of the Loan Instruments;

(c) If required by Lender, all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid shall be paid at the time such Partial Release is requested; provided that any payment in immediately available funds, received by Lender after one-thirty o’clock, p.m. (1:30 p.m.), Dallas, Texas time, will be deemed to have been made on the next following business day;
(d) Payment to Lender of an amount in cash equal to the Release Price as provided, and as such term is defined in Paragraph 18 of the Specific Loan Terms attached hereto; and
(e) Payment to Lender of all reasonable costs and expenses arising in connection with any Partial Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, at such time as Lender provides to the title company (which is closing the sale of a Property) a “payoff” quote for a Property being released from a Mortgage, in accordance with this Paragraph 20, Borrower shall not be entitled to any further Disbursements under the Loan with respect to such Property.
