If Borrower is required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following will apply: (i) the sum payable will be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2(c)), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower will make such deductions and (iii) Borrower will pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

Additionally, Borrower may request that Lender extend the May 28, 2022 Stated Maturity Date for Tranche B for a period of thirty (30) days to June 28, 2022.  Upon receipt of any such request to so extend the Stated Maturity Date for Tranche B, Lender will promptly confirm to Borrower in writing that the Stated Maturity Date for Tranche B only will be so extended upon the satisfaction each of the following conditions:

If Tranche B is not fully repaid by June 28, 2022, neither Borrower nor Contributor may thereafter prepay Tranche B except in the event Lender has exercised its rights under the Pledge and Security Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 2.1 above, and then in such event, only to the extent distributions are earned and paid to Lender pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement.  In the event Tranche B is not repaid by June 28, 2022, Borrower and Lender agree that Tranche B shall be repaid at the conversion event as defined in the Contribution Agreement in the form of Common Limited Units in the SPE Owner’s Member.  Borrower and Lender agree that the then-remaining balance shall be repaid in the amount of up to $2,161,250.00 in Common Limited Units, less the amount of any distributions theretofore made to Lender pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement.  Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the Common Limited Unit payment is a fair and reasonable mechanism for the Tranche B repayment, which accounts for uncertainty in the valuation of private, non-traded ownership rights.

With respect to any request by Borrower to extend the Stated Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.6, if Borrower is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frames for each such condition, Lender will have no obligation to extend the Stated Maturity Date hereunder.  As this Extension Option results in Lender receiving additional interest, and Borrower having additional time to repay the principal and paying additional interest, Borrower and Lender each acknowledge there is sufficient consideration for the Extension Option.

Article III Reserves

Section 3.1 Required Repairs. Borrower will perform and complete each item of the repairs and environmental remedial work at the Property described on Schedule 2 (the “Required Repairs”) within the designated time frame set forth for such item on Schedule 2.

Section 3.2 Taxes and Insurance Escrow; Interest Reserve.

(a)Taxes and Insurance.  Upon a Transfer or assumption of the Loan contemplated by Section 5.15 below (including without limitation, any assumption of the Loan contemplated by that certain Contribution Agreement dated December 30, 2021, by and between Contributor and SPE Owner’s Member, as amended by (i) that certain First Amendment to Contribution Agreement dated as of February 23, 2022, (ii) that certain Second Amendment to Contribution Agreement dated as of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇, (▇▇▇) that certain Third Amendment to Contribution Agreement dated as of March 15, 2022, and (iv) that certain Fourth Amendment to Contribution Agreement dated as of March 22, 2022 [as amended, the

“Contribution Agreement”]) or upon the Contribution Agreement being terminated by either party thereto, Borrower will pay to Lender $0.00 (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Initial Deposit”). Additionally, Borrower will pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next 12 months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least 30 days prior to their respective delinquency dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Monthly Deposit”, which, together with the Tax and Insurance Escrow Initial Deposit, are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing then Lender will (x) apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 and Section 7.1, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Taxes and Insurance Premiums due. In making any payment relating to Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the current balance of Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Taxes or Insurance Premiums not otherwise relating to Policies maintained through Manager’s (or its Affiliates’) insurance programs next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Monthly Deposit required to be made by Borrower.  If Borrower fails to fund the Tax and Insurance Escrow Initial Deposit when and as contemplated herein, Lender may advance the sums necessary to do so (without waiving the obligation of Borrower to do so, or the Event of Default arising from its failure to do so) and add such amount to the amount of the Loan.

(b)Interest Reserve.  Additionally, upon a Transfer or assumption of the Loan contemplated by Section 5.15 below (including without limitation, any assumption of the Loan contemplated by the Contribution Agreement) or upon the Contribution Agreement being terminated by either party thereto, Borrower will fund and establish with Lender a reserve in the aggregate amount of approximately $0.00 (the “Interest Reserve Fund”).  For so long as no Event of Default has occurred hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall on each Payment Date (or such other dates as it shall determine) advance from the Interest Reserve Fund to itself the amount of the monthly debt service payment and other accrued interest then due and payable under the Note, and interest on any amounts advanced from the Interest Reserve Fund shall not accrue until the date of such advance.  Once there are no funds remaining in the Interest Reserve Fund or upon an Event of Default, Lender shall have no further obligation for funding of accrued and unpaid interest, or amounts payable and unpaid, whereupon Borrower shall be and remain responsible for the continuation of all such monthly debt service payments from funds other than proceeds of the Loan.  If Borrower fails to fund the Interest Reserve Fund when and as contemplated herein, Lender may advance the sums necessary to do so (without waiving the obligation of Borrower to do so, or the Event of Default arising from its failure to do so) and add such amount to the amount of the Loan.

Section 3.3 [Reserved].

Section 3.4 Casualty/Condemnation Funds. Borrower will pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender, immediately upon receipt, all Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation (the “Casualty/Condemnation Funds”). The Casualty/Condemnation Funds will be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article VII.

Section 3.5 Grant of Security Interest, Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower

​

hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, the following (the “Account Collateral”): all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and the Reserve Funds, all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Accounts”), and all payments to or monies held in any of the Accounts. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to payment of such Rents to Lender. Borrower will not, and will not permit Manager to, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-l Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Account in any order and in any manner as Lender will elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Security Instrument or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Accounts will not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, will be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

Section 3.6 Property Cash Flow Allocation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may apply any Reserve Funds, all Rents, and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender will elect.

Section 3.7 Reasonable Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Lender will have no duty as to any Account Collateral in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any person or otherwise with respect thereto. Lender will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Account Collateral in its possession if the Account Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property, it being understood that Lender will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Account Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Lender, its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from Lender’s or its Affiliate’s, agent’s, employee’s or bailee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event will Lender be liable either directly or indirectly for losses or delays resulting from any event which may be the basis of an Excusable Delay, computer malfunctions, interruption of communication facilities, labor difficulties or other causes beyond Lender’s reasonable control or for indirect, special or consequential damages except to the extent of Lender’s or its Affiliate’s agent’s, employee’s or bailee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender does not have custody of the Account Collateral.

Section 3.8 Lender’s Liability.

(a) Lender will be responsible for the performance only of such duties with respect to the Account Collateral as are specifically set forth in this Article 3 or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, and no other duty will be implied from any provision hereof. Lender will not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act with respect to the Account Collateral which would cause it to incur any out-of-pocket expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Borrower will indemnify and hold Lender, its employees and officers harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to the Account Collateral except as such may be caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its employees, officers, agents, Affiliates or bailees.

(b)Lender will be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by it in good faith to be genuine, and, in so acting, it may be assumed that any person purporting to give any of the foregoing in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. Lender may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith.

Section 4.1 Organization, Special Purpose. Each of Borrower and Borrower Representative has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Each Borrower and Borrower Representative is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations.

The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury. No exercise of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document unenforceable.

Section 4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower (including the Property) pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of its properties (including the Property). Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Security Instrument, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

Section 4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending (or threatened in writing or otherwise known to Borrower) against or affecting Borrower, Borrower Representative or the Property, which, if adversely determined, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Borrower Representative or the condition or ownership of the Property.

Section 4.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 14

​

covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound.

Section 4.6 Title. Borrower has good and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens other than the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid. The Security Instrument, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith creates (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Borrower’s interest in the Property and (b) valid and perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. All mortgage, recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been paid. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property. The survey for the Property delivered to Lender does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. Except as shown on the survey of the Property delivered to Lender, all of the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured against by the title insurance policy insuring the Lien of the Security Instrument. Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. There are no pending or proposed special or, to the knowledge of Borrower, other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

Section 4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it. In addition, neither Borrower nor Borrower Representative nor Guarantor has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten years.

Section 4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and the Property (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Uniform System of Accounts for Hotels consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no

materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

Section 4.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitute or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.

Section 4.10 Compliance. Borrower, the Property, and the use of the Property comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking and applicable zoning and land use laws, regulations, and ordinances). To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower. The Property is used exclusively for hotel use and other appurtenant and related uses. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.

Section 4.11 Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 5, there are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable on one month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium. All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.

Section 4.12 Federal Reserve Regulations, Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

Section 4.13 Utilities and Public Access. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer, storm drain and electric facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and have either been dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

Section 4.14 Physical Condition. The Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Personalty and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination

​

Section 4.15 Leases. Borrower has delivered to Lender a true, correct and complete rent roll for the Property (the “Rent Roll”), which includes all Leases affecting the Property. Except as set forth on the Rent Roll: (i) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) the tenants under the Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof, (iii) all rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid and no portion thereof has been paid for any period more than 30 days in advance, (iv) the rent payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent set forth in the Rent Roll, and there is no claim or basis for a claim by the tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent, (v) no tenant has made any claim against the landlord under any Lease which remains outstanding, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no defaults on the part of the landlord under any Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, (vi) to Borrower’s best knowledge, there is no present material default by the tenant under any Lease, (vii) all security deposits under Leases are as set forth on the Rent Roll, (viii) Borrower is the sole owner of the entire lessor’s interest in each Lease, (ix) each Lease is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the applicable tenant thereunder, (x) no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Lease, and (xi) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, each Lease is subordinate to the Loan Documents, either pursuant to its terms or pursuant to a subordination and attornment agreement. None of the Leases contains any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof. Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Lender, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.

Section 4.16 Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Section 4.17 Ownership of Borrower. The organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 3 is complete and accurate and illustrates all Persons who have a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower.

Section 4.18 Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is in full force and effect. There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation thereunder, by either party thereto. The Management Agreement constitutes all of the agreements with respect to the management of the Property.

Section 4.19 Franchise Agreement. The Franchise Agreement is in full force and effect. There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no event has

Section 4.23 Embargoed Person. (a) None of the funds or assets of Guarantor or of Borrower constitute property of, or are beneficially owned directly or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, indirectly, by any Embargoed Person (as hereinafter defined) and (b) no Embargoed Person has any direct interest, and to Borrower’s best knowledge, as of the Effective Date, based upon reasonable inquiry by Borrower, indirect interest, of any nature whatsoever in Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law.

Section 4.24 Anti-Money Laundering. None of the funds of Borrower, Borrower Representative or any Guarantor, as applicable, that are used to consummate this transaction are derived from or are the proceeds of any unlawful activity, with the result that the investment in Borrower, Borrower Representative or any Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law or may cause any of the Property to be subject to forfeiture or seizure. Borrower has ascertained the identity of all persons and entities that have provided funds to capitalize Borrower and has conducted verification procedures which are sufficient to establish the identity and source of such funds.

Section 4.25 Sharing Agreements. There are no joint services, reciprocal easement or other similar sharing agreements relating to the Property.

Section 4.26 Labor Matters. Borrower is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements.

Section 4.27 Operating Lease. SPE Owner is the owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Operating Lease. The Operating Lease is in full force and effect and there is no default thereunder by either party and there are no conditions that would constitute defaults thereunder. No rent under the Operating Lease has been paid more than one month in advance of its due date. All security deposits (if any) are held by SPE Owner in accordance with applicable law. All work (if any) to be performed by SPE Owner and TRS Lessee under the Operating Lease has been performed as required and has been accepted by TRS Lessee, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by SPE Owner to TRS Lessee has already been received by TRS Lessee.

TRS Lessee has no right or option pursuant to the Operating Lease or otherwise to purchase all or any part of the leased premises or the building of which the leased premises are a part.

All of the representations and warranties in this Article 4 and elsewhere in the Loan Documents (1) will survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender and (2) will be deemed to have

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 18

​

​

been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf, provided, however, that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 4.20 will survive in perpetuity.

Article V Covenants

Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

Section 5.1 Existence. Each of Borrower and Borrower Representative will (a) do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, and franchises, (b) continue to engage in the business presently conducted by it, (c) obtain and maintain all Licenses, and (d) qualify to do business and remain in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction, in each case as and to the extent required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property.

Section 5.2 Taxes.

Borrower will not suffer and will promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien against the Property, and will promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property.

​

resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of such counsel), provided, however, that nothing herein will compromise the right of Lender (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action which in the reasonable opinion of counsel for such Indemnified Party presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable, provided, further, that if Lender will have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower will not be responsible for the expense of additional separate counsel of any other Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of Lender a conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and Lender. So long as Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect to such action, suit or proceeding and Lender agrees that it will not settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower, provided, however, that if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Lender has provided Borrower with 30 days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such determination, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section 5.17 with respect to settlement of such action, suit or proceeding. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder, provided, however, the failure to do so will not affect Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 5.17 will survive the Term and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

Section 6.2 Borrower Notices and Deliveries. Borrower will (a) give prompt written notice to Lender of: (i) any litigation, governmental proceedings or claims or investigations pending or threatened against Borrower or Borrower Representative which might materially adversely affect the Property or Borrower’s or Borrower Representative’s condition (financial or otherwise), business, operations or assets, (ii) any event or circumstance resulting in, or which would reasonably be expected to result in, a material adverse change in the Property or Borrower’s or Borrower Representative’s condition (financial or otherwise), business, operations or assets, or of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default of which Borrower has knowledge, together with a detailed statement of the steps being taken to cure such Default or Event of Default, and (b) furnish and provide to Lender: all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and agreements, reasonably requested, from time to time, by Lender. In addition, after request by Lender (but no more frequently than twice in any year), Borrower will furnish to Lender (x) within ten days, a certificate addressed to Lender, its successors and assigns reaffirming all representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents as of the date requested by Lender or, to the extent of any changes to any such representations and warranties, so stating such changes, and (y) within 30 days, tenant estoppel certificates addressed to Lender, its successors and assigns from each tenant at the Property in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

Lender will have the right from time to time during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or other Person maintaining them, and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender will desire. After an Event of Default which remains uncured, Borrower will pay any costs incurred by Lender to examine such books, records and accounts, as Lender will determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.

(b)Quarterly Reports.

Article VII Insurance, Casualty, And Condemnation

Section 7.1 Insurance.

(a)Coverage. Borrower shall obtain and keep in full force and effect insurance of the types and in amounts customarily carried in lines of business and in geographic areas similar to Borrower's and as Lender may specify from time to time including insurance of the types and in amounts specified in the Insurance Requirements Agreement, which may specify, among other things, (i) property insurance; (ii) business income insurance; (iii) builder's risk insurance, for any period during which construction shall take place on the Property; (iv) commercial general liability insurance, including excess/umbrella coverage and, if liquor, beer, or wine may be sold at or from the Property, liquor liability coverage; (v) worker’s compensation insurance; (vi) flood insurance; (vii) earthquake insurance, for Property located in an area designated by the US Geological Survey as high hazard; and (viii) such other policies and coverages as may be necessary to comply with Applicable Law or as Lender may otherwise require. Each required insurance policy and coverage (each, a “Policy”) and each required binder, certificate, or other evidence of coverage (collectively, with the Policy, the “Policy Documents”) shall satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section and in any Insurance Requirements Agreement (collectively, the “Insurance Requirements”), unless, in a particular case, Lender, in its sole discretion and in writing, modifies or waives a particular Insurance Requirement. All Insurance Requirements are at the sole cost and expense of Borrower and apply to each Property.

(b)Policy Requirements. All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 will (i) be issued by companies approved by Lender and licensed to do business in the State, with a rating of A/X or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports, (ii) name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as the mortgagee (in the case of property insurance) or an additional insured (in the case of liability insurance), (iii) contain (in the case of property insurance) a Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the Person to which all payments made by such insurance company will be paid, (iv) contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender, (v) be assigned and the originals thereof delivered to Lender, (vi) contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest, including (A) endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party will be a co-insurer under the Policies, (B) that Lender will receive at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies, (C) an agreement whereby the insurer waives any right to claim any premiums and commissions against Lender, provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insured and (D) providing that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums, (vii) in the event any insurance policy (except for general public and other liability and worker’s compensation insurance) will contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy will provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy will not be invalidated by and will insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents, and (viii) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower will pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) prior to or upon the closing of the Loan and furnish to Lender

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 31

​

​

evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender under this Agreement) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least 30 days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but will not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Interest Rate. Borrower will deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy within 30 days after its effective date. Within 30 days after request by Lender, Borrower will obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.

Section 7.2 Casualty.

(a)Notice, Restoration. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower will give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, will promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.

(b)Settlement of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $250,000, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender, provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receive the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $250,000 (a “Significant Casualty”) or if an Event of Default exists, Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds will be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower will immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds will become part of the Debt and will be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

Section 7.3 Condemnation.

(a)Notice, Restoration. Borrower will promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and will deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, will promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.

(b)Collection of Award. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower will continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt will not be reduced unless and until any

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 32

​

​

Award will have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender will not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but will be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender will have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note will be recoverable or will have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower will cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender will hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.

(a)Application to Restoration. If an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (i) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than (x) 30 percent of the unpaid Principal in the event of an Insured Casualty or (y) 15 percent of the unpaid Principal in the event of a Condemnation, (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within six (6) months, and prior to six (6) months before the Stated Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt and (iii) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), will be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower will commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower will pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower will deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof, and (y) Lender will have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service, as reasonably determined by Lender.

(b)Application to Debt. Except as provided in Section 7.4, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii) the unpaid Principal and (iii) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4(c).

(c)Procedure for Application to Restoration. If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award will be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, (v) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work and (vi) Lender will be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed in accordance with any requirements under the Franchise Agreement. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval will also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 33

​

​

prior to the final completion of the Restoration will exceed 90 percent of the value of the work performed from time to time, funds other than the Proceeds or Award will be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award, and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, will be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration will be paid to Borrower. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration will, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt.

(o)Guarantor breaches any of the covenants contained in the Guaranty, or

(p)a default by Borrower has occurred and continues beyond any applicable cure period under the Management Agreement (or any successor management agreement) or the Franchise Agreement.

Section 8.2 Remedies.

(a)Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, so long as such Event of Default remains uncured, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand, and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest and any other amounts owing by Borrower) will immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may accept or reject the tender of cure for such Event of Default in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b)Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt will be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 35

​

​

or not Lender will have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender will be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender will remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document will be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.

(c)Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender will impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default will not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Security Instrument to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Accounts or any other collateral.

(d)Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure will continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but will have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith will be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid will be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents) and will bear interest thereafter at the Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

Article IX Miscellaneous

Section 9.1 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto will survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and will continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Debt is unpaid or such longer period if expressly set forth in this Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

Section 9.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or decide whether any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 36

​

​

discretion will (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and will be final and conclusive.

Section 9.3 Rules of Construction. In this Agreement and each other Loan Document, (a) a capitalized term that is not defined in this Agreement, but is defined in another Loan Document, will have the meaning ascribed to it in the other Loan Document, (b) headings of articles, sections, paragraphs, and other subdivisions of this Agreement (each a “subdivision”) are for convenience only and do not modify the meaning of the text following a heading, (c) each Exhibit, Schedule, Attachment, Annex, and other attachment to this Agreement (each an “attachment”) is incorporated into the Loan Document to which it is attached, (d) unless reference is made to another document, a reference to a subdivision or attachment refers to such subdivision of or attachment to the Loan Document containing the reference, (e) a capitalized term that refers to another document or a Legal Requirement refers to such document or a Legal Requirement as renewed, extended, supplemented, amended, or modified at any time, (f) a word indicating a particular gender includes all genders and a word indicating the singular include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires, (g) the rule of ejusdem generis will not be applied to limit the generality of any term when followed by specific examples, and the words “include”, “including”, and similar terms will be construed as if followed by “without limitation to”, (h) consent of or notice to any Person means prior written consent and prior written notice, respectively, (i) “year” means a calendar year, unless otherwise specified, and (j) ”party” means a party to such Loan Document.

Section 9.4 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, will in any event be effective unless the same will be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower will entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, will operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor will a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender will not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 9.5 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence as to all obligations created by and all notices required by this Agreement

Section 9.7 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of one or more covenants, terms, or conditions in this Agreement will not affect the remainder of this Agreement.

Section 9.8 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender will have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply (or having so applied, to reverse and reapply) any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or in part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied will be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. This provision will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

Section 9.9 Waiver of Notice. Borrower will not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

Section 9.10 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents,, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents will be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy will be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably will be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.

Section 9.11 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.12 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents will take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense will be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 9.13 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 9.13 will control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the

​

​

​

option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender will be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

Section 9.14 Conflict, Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement will control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents will not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.

Section 9.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document will be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

Section 9.16 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder will be joint and several. Each entity that constitutes Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it will be jointly and severally liable for the Loan and all other Obligations arising under this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents. In furtherance thereof, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:

For the purpose of implementing the joint borrower provisions of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each other Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the Loan Documents, including the giving and receiving of notices and other communications.

To induce Lender to make the Loan, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender against, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and/or claims of damage or injury asserted against Lender by any Borrower or by any other Person arising from or incurred by reason of (i) reliance by Lender on any requests or instructions from any Borrower, or (ii) any other action taken by Lender in good faith with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Each Borrower acknowledges that the liens and security interests created or granted herein and by the other Loan Documents will secure the Obligations of all Borrowers under the Loan Documents and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof or of any other Loan Document:

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 39

​

​

Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security Lender at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and in collecting on the Loan it will not be necessary for Lender to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Lender, in connection with Lender’s efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other Obligations, to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that Lender may proceed against any Persons and/or collateral in such order as it will determine in its sole and absolute discretion in connection with Lender’s efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other Obligations. Lender may file a separate action or actions against each Borrower to enforce the Obligations, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that Lender, each Borrower and/or any other Person may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing among any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The rights of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents will be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will continue, with respect to any amount

​

LOAN AGREEMENT, PAGE 40

​

​

at any time paid on account of the Obligations, which thereafter will be required to be restored or returned by Lender as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at all times will remain effective even though any or all Obligations, or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any Borrower or any other Person and whether or not any Borrower or any other Person will have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses to the enforcement of its Obligations under the Loan Documents now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Person with respect to the Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower or any other Person (other than by reason of the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations), (iv) any failure of Lender to marshal assets in favor of any of the Borrowers or any other Person, (v) any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or Pledged Collateral for the Obligations to Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition, (vi) any failure of Lender to comply in any non-material respect with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation, (vii) any act or omission of Lender or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or of any other Person or of any of the Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (viii) any law that provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (ix) any failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding with respect to any Person, (x) the election by Lender, in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, (xii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Person, (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Lender securing the Obligations for any reason, or (xv) any bankruptcy or similar proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding.

Borrowers represent and warrant to Lender that they have established adequate means of obtaining from each other, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to their respective businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) and their respective properties, and each now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other and their respective properties. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to such Borrower any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the other Borrowers or the other Borrowers’ properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Lender during the life of this Agreement. With respect to any of the Obligations, Lender need not inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the officers, employees or other Persons acting or purporting to act on such Borrower’s behalf.

EACH BORROWER WARRANTS AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT EVENTS GIVING RISE TO ANY DEFENSE WAIVED MAY DIMINISH, DESTROY OR OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT RIGHTS THAT EACH OTHERWISE MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER, AGAINST LENDER OR

Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document will be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest will thereafter stand in the place of Lender.
