Item # | Action Item | Trigger Date / Deadline | Responsible Party | Status | Risk Assessment | Notes
CE-1 | Monitor permanent loan closing timeline; evaluate extension risk | November 1, 2025 | Philip Hartmann, Lisa Morrow (C&H); Naomi T. Sinclair (Fairwater) | Not Started | Medium — depends on pace of loan document negotiations with Ashworth McPhail / Clarendon Metropolitan | If execution of permanent loan documents is not on track by November 1, begin extension preparations
CE-2 | Assess compliance with extension conditions: (a) no event of default | November 15, 2025 | Lisa Morrow (C&H); David A. Whitfield (Fairwater) | Not Started | Low | Confirm no default exists under bridge credit agreement
CE-3 | Assess compliance with extension conditions: (b) LTV ≤ 65% | November 15, 2025 | Marcus Leung (C&H); Naomi T. Sinclair (Fairwater) | Not Started | Low | Current LTV 62.34% ($240M / $385M) — well within 65% limit; confirm no material decline in appraised value
CE-4 | Assess compliance with extension conditions: (c) DSCR ≥ 1.20x — CRITICAL RISK | November 15, 2025 | Marcus Leung (C&H); Naomi T. Sinclair (Fairwater) | Not Started | HIGH — Current DSCR 1.169x is BELOW 1.20x extension threshold | Current TTM NOI $26,180,000 ÷ annual bridge debt service $22,392,000 = 1.169x; need DSCR ≥1.20x; requires either NOI increase to ≥$26,870,400 ($22,392,000 × 1.20) or partial paydown reducing debt service; delta is approximately $690,400 in NOI or ~$7.4M paydown of principal to reduce interest
CE-5 | If needed: model partial voluntary prepayment to achieve 1.20x DSCR for extension | November 15, 2025 | Marcus Leung (C&H); Dennis P. Nakamura (Beacon Ridge) | Not Started | HIGH | If NOI unchanged at $26,180,000, need annual debt service ≤ $21,816,667 ($26,180,000 ÷ 1.20); implies max principal of ~$233.8M at 9.33% all-in rate; would need to pay down ~$6.2M
CE-6 | Prepare extension notice to Kensington National Bank (if needed) | December 1, 2025 | Lisa Morrow (C&H) | Not Started | Contingent | Must be delivered prior to December 31, 2025 maturity; review notice provisions in bridge credit agreement for required lead time
CE-7 | Arrange payment of bridge extension fee: 25 bps ($600,000) | December 1, 2025 | Naomi T. Sinclair (Fairwater) | Not Started | Contingent | $240,000,000 × 0.25% = $600,000; wire to KNB
CE-8 | Revised closing timeline (if extension exercised) | December 15, 2025 | Lisa Morrow (C&H) | Not Started | Contingent | New target closing: Q1 2026; must still close by March 31, 2026 for bridge exit fee waiver ($1,200,000)
CE-9 | If extension exercised: extended bridge maturity | June 30, 2026 | N/A | N/A | Backstop | Latest possible bridge maturity with extension
