AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as set forth in that certain Trust Indenture of even date herewith between Borrower and Trustee (as defined herein) (the “Indenture”).
2. Commitment. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make advances not more than once per calendar month (each an “Advance”), and Borrower may draw upon and borrow, not more than once per calendar month, in the manner and upon the terms and conditions expressed in this Agreement, each Advance in an amount up to the Lender’s then-monthly net income from the Interests (as determined by application of generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, “Net Income”). Each Advance shall be made by Lender to Borrower subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement; provided, that the Lender shall have no obligation to make any Advance (A) that exceeds its Net Income for the then-current calendar month or (B) if there is an Event of Default or a Default (as defined below). Each Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance at the then-applicable Federal short-term rate as determined pursuant to Section 1247(d) of the Internal Revenue Code beginning on the date of the Advance. If not sooner paid, all outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest and other outstanding sums due under this Agreement shall be paid in full on September 30, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”). This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Maturity Date, or (b) the sale of the Interests or the Property to a bona fide third-party purchaser on commercially reasonable terms as determined by the Trustee in its reasonable discretion.

3. Advances. Advances under this Agreement will be made by the Lender not more than once per calendar month upon receipt by Lender of at least five (5) days’ prior written notice setting forth the amount of the advance. Such notice shall include a representation by Borrower to Lender that the amount of the Advance requested is reasonably necessary for the Borrower to meet the Cash Coverage Ratio covenant as described in Section 4.09 of the Indenture.
4. Notes. Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender in connection with each Advance (each a “Note” and collectively the “Notes”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which shall (i) be duly executed and delivered by Borrower, (ii) be dated as of the date of the Advance, (iii) mature on the Maturity Date, (iv) bear interest as provided herein, and (v) be governed by this Agreement.
5. Security. The Loan and each Advance hereunder shall be unsecured.
6. Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:
a. The non-payment of any principal or interest due and owing to Lender.
b. Violation by Borrower of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or the Notes, or breach of any representation or warranty contained herein or in the Notes; or
c. Borrower (i) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) files a petition under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or similar state or federal law; or (iii) is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent.
Upon occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall notify Borrower in writing. If the Event of Default is not cured within ten business (10) days after the giving of such notice of default, Borrower shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement (a “Default”).
7. Default Interest Rate; Remedies. Upon Default, the Lender shall have the right to collect interest on the outstanding principal balance on the Loan at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum and all other remedies as set forth in the Notes.
8. Cumulative Remedies. All remedies of the Lender provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law. The exercise of any right or remedy by the Lender hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice the Lender in the exercise of any of their rights hereunder unless, in the exercise of its rights, the Lender realizes all amounts owed to it hereunder.

9. Payment and Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

Upon full payment of all amounts due and owing on the Loan, and Borrower giving written notice to the Lender, the Lender shall immediately return the original Notes to Borrower marked “Satisfied.”
10. Subordination. Lender acknowledges that Borrower’s obligations hereunder to repay the Loan are subordinate Borrower’s obligations on the Bonds, and Lender hereby expressly subordinates its rights under this Agreement to Borrower’s obligations thereon.
11. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows:

13. Waiver. No waiver by the Lender of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion.
