Borrower shall maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) of 1.50:1.00, on a trailing twelve (12) month basis, tested as of December 31, 2025, and annually thereafter (each, a “Testing Date”), defined as the ratio of (i) gross operating revenues attributable to the Real Property less the sum of all operating expenses attributable to the Real Property (including monthly accruals of real estate taxes and insurance premiums) to (b) the sum of annual principal and interest payments under a hypothetical loan in the amount of $2,495,000.00 amortized over twenty-five (25) years, at a fixed annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the fixed rate under any interest rate swap applicable to the Note as of the Testing Date or (ii) the 10 Year U.S. Treasury Rate as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 on the Testing Date plus Two and One-Quarter percent (2.25%). If Borrower is not in compliance with the DSCR covenant defined above, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of written notice

7

thereof, either (i) make a principal repayment in an amount that would result in compliance if the amount of the hypothetical loan referenced in the denominator of the DSCR test above was $2,495,000.00 less such repayment, or (ii) deposit such principal repayment amount (“Cash Collateral”) into a blocked account held by Lender; provided, however, that no such repayment or deposit shall be required if (a) the non-compliance was caused by a tenant vacating a Real Property parcel without fair warning and (b) Borrower, within ninety (90) days of the written notice described above, has entered into a lease for such vacated parcel that would allow Borrower to comply with the DSCR covenant on a pro forma basis. If Borrower elects to deposit Cash Collateral with Lender to cure a failure to meet the minimum DSCR, Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in any Cash Collateral held by Lender. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Xxxxxx may immediately apply any Cash Collateral against the obligations due under the Loan. Lender shall release Cash Collateral held by Lender to Borrower if, as of a subsequent Testing Date, no Event of Default, nor any event which, upon notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, and Borrower has met the minimum DSCR of 1.50:1.00.

5.13 Subordination of Debt. Within thirty (30) days of demand by Lender, within its sole discretion, Borrower shall deliver to Lender full and effective subordinations made and executed by any and all persons (including individuals, entities, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations or de jure organizations) holding common stock or any form of legal or beneficial ownership in Borrower or having any type of control or affiliation with Borrower, including any and all sister, parent, subsidiary or affiliated corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, entities, associations or de jure organizations. The required subordinations shall subordinate to the Loan Obligations any debt, cause of action, lien, security interest or any other type of claim or encumbrance held against Borrower or its personal property or real estate.

6. Negative Covenants. Borrower covenants and agrees that from the date hereof until the Loan Obligations are paid in full, without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld:

6.1 Liens. Borrower shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever, except Permitted Liens, on any of its assets now or hereafter owned (including, without limitation, the Collateral), or enter into or suffer to exist any conditional sales contracts or other title retention agreements.

6.2 Merger; Consolidation; Sale of Substantial Assets. Borrower shall not merge into, consolidate with, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial part of its properties, shares or assets to, or acquire all or a substantial part of the properties, shares or assets of, any other Person.

8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Xxxxxx’s Right to Make Certain Payments. In the event Borrower fails to pay or discharge any taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, obligations and encumbrances by the date such payments are due, including any applicable grace period, Lender may, at its option, pay or discharge the taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, and obligations and encumbrances or any part thereof. In such an event, Lender shall have no obligation on its part to determine the validity or necessity of any payment thereof and any such payments shall not waive or affect any option, lien, equity, or right of Lender under or by virtue of this Agreement. The full amount of each and every such payment shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date thereof until paid at the maximum interest allowable under applicable law. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Lender to advance or expend monies for any of the purposes mentioned in this Section.

8.2 Enforcement Expenses. Borrower shall pay all the costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, whether incurred at trial or appellate level or in connection with bankruptcy proceedings, including proceedings seeking relief from the automatic stay or seeking to prohibit or limit the use of cash collateral, incurred or paid at any time by Lender due to the failure on the part of Borrower to promptly and fully to perform, comply with and abide by each and every stipulation, agreement, condition and covenant of the Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations. Such costs, charges and expenses shall be immediately due and payable, whether or not there be notice, demand, attempt to collect or suit pending. The full amount of each and every such payment shall bear interest from the date thereof until paid at the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law. All such costs, charges and expenses so incurred or paid, together with such interest, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Documents and any other instrument securing the Loan Obligations.

8.3 Payments on Business Days. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever any payment to be made under the Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations, shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, if any, due in connection with such payment.

Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby shall be brought in the state or federal courts having jurisdiction over Story County, Iowa, or Hillsborough County, Florida (the “Selected Courts”). Xxxxxx and the Loan Parties each consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Selected Courts for the purpose of all legal actions and proceedings arising out of or related to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the enforcement, in the Selected Courts or any other appropriate forum, of any judgment obtained in connection with such legal action or proceeding. Lender and Borrower each waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) any objection which it may now or later have to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby brought in the Selected Courts, and any claim that any legal action or proceeding brought in any of the Selected Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

8.8 Headings. The descriptive section headings herein have been inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the construction of any provisions hereof.

8.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

8.10 Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx are cumulative and in addition to any rights and remedies which Lender may have under the laws of Florida or

13

the laws of the United States, and the exercise of any one right or remedy by Xxxxxx against Borrower will not deprive Lender of any other right or remedy against Borrower.

8.11 Severability. If any portion of any Loan Document or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations is declared void by any court as illegal or against public policy the remainder of the instrument in question shall continue in full effect.

8.12 Waiver. Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest as to all obligations under the Loan Documents and any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations.

8.13 Waiver by Xxxxxx. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any right under the Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude the Lender from any other or further exercise of any other right or remedy. Lender may cure any Event of Default in any reasonable manner without waiving the Event of Default so cured and without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default. All rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement and under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws shall be deemed cumulative.

8.14 No Joint Venture. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx acknowledge and agree that the relationship between them is strictly a lender/borrower relationship and that, notwithstanding this Agreement, any provision in the Note or Security Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations, or any course of conduct presently existing or arising in the future between the parties, the relationship between the parties shall not constitute a partnership or joint venture.

8.15 No Tort Liability. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no tort liability whatsoever in connection with the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, liability for any intentional or negligent misrepresentation. It is expressly agreed that the sole and exclusive remedies arising from or related to the relationship of Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan shall be enforcement of this Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents and the remedies provided for herein or therein.

8.16 Documentary Stamp and Intangibles Taxes. Borrower hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all documentary stamp taxes and intangibles taxes (together with all interest, penalties, costs, and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith) that may be at any time levied, assessed, or imposed by the State of Florida or any other governmental entity or agency upon the Note (or any note renewed or replaced thereby), this Agreement, the Security Documents, any of the other Loan Documents, or any amendment, extension, or renewal of any of the foregoing, or upon Lender by virtue of owning or holding any of the foregoing instruments or documents. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the satisfaction of the Loan Obligations for so long as any claim may be asserted by the State of Florida or any such other governmental entity or agency.

14

8.17 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Borrower and Xxxxxx each hereby knowingly, irrevocably, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on this Agreement or the Loan Documents or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or any other document executed in conjunction with the transactions contemplated thereunder, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statement (whether oral or written) or action of any party. This provision is a material inducement for Lender to make the loan evidenced by the Note.
