The debt service coverage ratio shall be determined based on the operating results of the Project, rather than upon the operating results of the Borrower, Master Tenant, if applicable, and/or Operator.


5. The Escrow, when in the form of cash, shall be held by Lender or a depository institution satisfactory to the Lender and in accordance with Program Obligations.
