Notwithstanding the Borrower’s timely acceptance of the offer set forth in this Letter and the payment of the Commitment Fee, all obligations of the Bank to close on the Loan shall expire without further notice if the Borrower fails to close on the Loan by 12:00 noon, St. Louis time, on October 18, 2017.  If this Letter and the offer set forth herein expires and the Loan is not closed, the Borrower shall obligated to pay and/or reimburse the Bank for all the Bank’s Direct Costs.

Debt Service Account:Borrower shall open a debt service reserve account (the “Account”) at the Bank which shall be subject to the Bank’s right of setoff.   Borrower shall grant to the Bank a security interest in the Account.  On the __ day of each of January, February and March of 2018, Borrower shall deposit into the Account an amount specified by the Bank and equal to
