The facility is available for the acquisition of commercial real estate, repayment of mortgage debt, and renovation and operating expense purposes; provided, that if used for renovation and operating expense purposes, the amount outstanding for such purposes will not exceed the lesser of $30,000,000 and 30% of the borrowing base subject to a cap of (i) $20,000,000 for operating expense purposes and (ii) $10,000,000 for renovation expenses.
