ARTICLE II. LOAN.
2.01 Loan. Subject to the following terms and conditions, Borrower agrees to borrow and Lender agrees to make the Loan to Borrower in the principal amount of FOUR MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,800,000.00) in one advance on the Closing Date.
2.02 Note. Borrower’ indebtedness to Lender for the amount borrowed under the Loan and for interest accrued thereon shall be evidenced by Borrower’ promissory note to Lender in the principal amount of FOUR MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($4,800,000.00) in form and substance acceptable to Lender (the “Note”).
2.03 Interest Rate. From and after the date hereof, the Loan shall bear interest (except that portion, if any, bearing interest at the Default Rate as provided herein or in the other Loan Documents) at the Interest Rate. The Lender’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative absent manifest error.
2.04 Payment of Principal and Interest; Computation of Interest, Manner of Payment, Etc. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of $29,494.74 each, beginning August 1, 2016, and on the same date of each consecutive month thereafter (except that if a given month does not have such a date, the last day of such month), plus a final payment equal to all unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Maturity Date. The foregoing principal and interest payments are based on a twenty-five year amortization of the principal amount of the Loan at the Interest Rate. Notwithstanding the fact that the foregoing monthly payments are based on a twenty-five year amortization of the principal amount of the Loan the unpaid principal amount of the Loan plus unpaid accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days principal is unpaid, using a daily factor obtained by dividing the stated interest rate by three hundred sixty (360). Borrower agrees to make all payments of principal and interest hereunder to Lender when due without deduction or setoff of any kind or nature at Lender’s offices at 000 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (or such other address as Lender may designate) not later than 12:00 noon, Denver, Colorado time, on the due date thereof, in Dollars and in funds immediately available to Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, if and to the extent payment due Lender hereunder is not otherwise made when due, to charge and set off any amount so due against any or all of the accounts of Borrower with Lender, with Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency.
2.05 Default Interest and Late Charges. Subject to applicable law, if any payment is not made on or before its due date, the Lender may collect a delinquency charge of 5.00% of the unpaid amount not to exceed $1,000.00. Collection of the late payment fee shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Lender’s right to declare a default hereunder. Upon any default or at any time during the continuation thereof (including failure to pay upon maturity), the Lender may, at its option and subject to applicable law, increase the interest rate on this Note to a rate of 5% per annum plus the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder (the “Default Rate”). Nothing set forth in this paragraph shall imply any obligation on the part of Lender to accept any payment not made when due, and acceptance by Lender of any such late payment together with any late charge and/or default interest shall not be deemed to extend the due date of any other payment or waive Lender’s rights to declare an Event of Default hereunder if any such other payment is not made when due. Borrower acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult and impracticable to determine Lender’s actual damages resulting from any late payment and the aforementioned late charge and default interest are reasonable estimates of those damages.
2.06 Application of Payments. For so long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, all payments received by Lender under this Agreement, the Promissory Note, the Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document shall be applied as follows, regardless of any designation of such payments as principal, interest or other charges: first, to the repayment of sums advanced or incurred by Lender pursuant to the terms of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation sums advanced for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, late charges or other charges against the Collateral and all other costs, expenses and fees payable by Borrower under any Loan Document (together with interest thereon from the date of advance or incurrence until the date repaid at the Default Rate); second, to the payment of the interest then due and payable; and third; to the payment of principal. From and after an Event of Default, all payments received by Lender hereunder, under the Promissory Note, under the Deed of Trust or under any other Loan Document shall be applied by Lender to principal, interest and/or other charges or sums due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole subjective discretion.
2.07 Prepayment. The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part subject to payment of the prepayment fee described in the Note. Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by a payment of interest accrued to date thereon; and said prepayment shall be applied to the principal installments in the inverse order of their maturities. All prepayments shall be in an amount of at least $_______ or if less, the remaining entire principal balance of the Loan.
2.08 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan will be used to refinance existing indebtedness and for other company purposes.
ARTICLE III. EXPENSES, RESERVE AND RATES.
3.01 Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse Lender and its Affiliates for all reasonable fees and expenses, including without limitation, legal, consulting, appraisal and filing fees, incurred in connection with the credit facilities provided under this Agreement.
3.02 Lawful Rates. The provisions of this Agreement, the Note, any instrument securing this Note, and all agreements between Borrower and Lender are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be loaned under the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, the performance or fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other agreement between Borrower and Lender shall, at the time performance or fulfillment of such provision shall be due, involve transcending the limit or validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance owing hereunder (or at Lender’s option, be paid to Borrower) and not to the payment of interest.
3.03 Capital Adequacy; Yield Protection. If there shall occur any adoption or implementation of, or change to, any Regulation, or interpretation or administration thereof, which shall have the effect of imposing on Lender (or Lender’s holding company) any increase or expansion of or any new: tax (excluding taxes on its overall income and franchise taxes), charge, fee, assessment or deduction of any kind whatsoever, or reserve, capital adequacy, special deposits or similar requirements against credit extended by, assets of, or deposits with or for the account of Lender or other conditions affecting the extensions of credit under this Agreement; then Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount as Lender deems necessary to compensate Lender for any increased cost to Lender attributable to the extension(s) of credit under this Agreement and/or for any reduction in the rate of return on Lender’s capital and/or Lender’s revenue attributable to such extension(s) of credit. As used above, the term “Regulation” shall include any federal, state or international law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (including but not limited to the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and enactments, issuances or similar pronouncements by the Lender for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices or any similar authority and any successor thereto) that applies to Lender. Lender’s determination of the additional amount(s) due under this paragraph shall be binding in the absence of manifest error, and such amount(s) shall be payable within 15 days of demand and, if recurring, as otherwise billed by Lender.

8.06 Unlawful Use. Borrower shall not use its property, or any part thereof, in any unlawful business or for any unlawful purpose or use or maintain any of its property in any manner that does or could result in material damage to the environment or a violation of any applicable environmental laws, rules or regulations; and Borrower shall keep its property in good condition, repair and order. In addition, Borrower shall not use, occupy, or permit the use or occupancy of the Property by Borrower or any lessee, tenant, licensee, permitee, agent, or any other person in any manner that would be a violation of any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation, regardless of whether such use or occupancy is lawful under any conflicting law, including without limitation any law relating to the use, sale, possession, cultivation, manufacture, distribution or marketing of any controlled substances or other contraband (whether for commercial, medical, or personal purposes), or any law relating to the medicinal use or distribution of marijuana (collectively, “Prohibited Activities”). Without limiting the prohibitions on leasing set forth in Section 8.06, any lease, license, sublease or other agreement for use, occupancy or possession of any Property (collectively a “lease”) with any third person (“lessee”) shall expressly prohibit the lessee from engaging or permitting others to engage in any Prohibited Activities. Borrower shall upon demand provide Lender with a written statement setting forth its compliance with this section and stating whether any Prohibited Activities are or may be occurring in, on or around the Property.

If any tax by any governmental authority is or may be imposed on Lender or as a result of any transaction between Borrower and Lender which Lender may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, may possibly create a valid lien on the Collateral, Lender may without notice to Borrower or Guarantor pay the taxes, assessments or other charges and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless in respect thereof. Lender agrees to use good faith efforts to provide Borrower with notice of any such action taken by Lender within a reasonable amount of time following any such action; provided that Lender’s failure to provide any such notice shall not constitute a default under this Agreement and shall not give rise to any claims, defense, setoff, or counterclaim.
8.11 Merger, Consolidation, Acquisition and Sale of Assets.
(a) Borrower shall not enter into any merger, consolidation or other reorganization with or into any other Person or acquire all or a substantial portion of the assets or stock of any Person or permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge with it; and

All such costs, expenses, and charges shall constitute advances on the Loan, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand, shall be guaranteed by Guarantor, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to the Loan.
8.13 Bond for Liens. Promptly after the filing of a lien against the Property, notify Lender of such lien and, upon written request from Lender, post a surety bond in such amount and in form and with sureties satisfactory to Lender, or provide other assurance of payment or removal of said lien, and of all costs and expenses resulting therefrom, acceptable to Lender.

In the event Lender is the high bidder at a sale of all or any portion of the Property pursuant to the foreclosure of any of the Loan Documents, then the terms and provisions of this paragraph shall survive such sale and the acquisition of the Property by Lender and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the foreclosure of any instrument securing the Loan and the cancellation of the Note evidencing the Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liabilities and indemnifications provided hereunder on the part of Borrower shall not apply to any actions taken by Lender after asserting dominion and control pursuant to foreclosure of the Property, if such actions precipitate claims under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
8.16 Co Terminus. In the event the revolving line of credit made available to Guarantor by Lender is refinanced with another creditor or otherwise cancelled by Guarantor prior to payment in full of the Loan, Borrower shall refinance the Loan with another creditor or otherwise pay the Loan in full within sixty (60) days of any such refinance or cancellation of such revolving credit line provided to Guarantor by Lender. Any failure to pay off the Loan within the foregoing sixty (60) day period shall constitute a violation of this covenant and Lender may exercise rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by reason of any such violation.
