From time to time, Borrower shall forward to Lender such additional documents as may evidence any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of the Mortgage Loan (all of which must be approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). With respect to any documents which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to Borrower in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a true copy thereof, certified by Borrower as true, complete and correct.

7. ACQUISITION OF FEE TITLE TO MORTGAGED PROPERTY

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Acceptable First Mortgage Financing” shall mean a mortgage loan, from an Institutional Lender, secured by the Mortgaged Property, the principal amount of which shall not exceed $10,000,000, and the interest rate, financial covenants and other material terms of which are reasonably acceptable to Lender.
