SECTION 4.

THE LOAN

4.1. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT.

4.1.1 Revolving Line of Credit. Upon the request of Borrower, in the form of a Request for Advance, made at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Term, and so long as there is no Event of Default under the Loan Documents (and no event has occurred that, with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default), Lender shall make Advances to Borrower, subject to the covenants, terms and conditions of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Lender shall not be obligated to make Advances to Borrower whenever the aggregate principal amount of all Advances outstanding at any time exceeds or would exceed, at any one time, the Availability. Borrower may repay Advances and obtain new Advances within the Availability, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, provided such Advances are requested and complete Collateral Loan Document Packages are submitted to Lender prior to the expiration of the Commitment Term. This is a revolving line of credit providing for Advances. During the Commitment Term, Borrower may repay principal amounts and re-borrow them. Borrower agrees not to permit the outstanding principal balance of Advances under the line of credit to exceed the Availability. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower agrees as follows:

(a) The total amount of Advances available to Borrower is limited to the Borrowing Base, which shall be calculated by Lender, in Lender’s sole determination, upon receipt of the Borrowing Base Certificate as set forth herein. Borrower acknowledges that an Eligible Receivable may become an Ineligible Receivable as a result of events occurring after an Advance is made. In the event that any Eligible Receivable used in calculating the Borrowing Base becomes an Ineligible Receivable, Lender may, at its option, and in its sole discretion, re-calculate the Borrowing Base. At no time shall the aggregate outstanding Advances exceed the Availability. If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding amount of Advances exceeds the Borrowing Base or the Availability, then Borrower shall repay Lender immediately such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess (and if such repayment is

attributable to an Eligible Receivable becoming an Ineligible Receivable, then Lender will release all security in the associated Collateral Loan and Collateral Loan Documents).

(b) Each Request for an Advance under the Loan shall be made by an Authorized Person completing and delivering a Request for Advance and Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender. Each Request for Advance shall be deemed delivered only upon actual receipt by Lender at the address specified in Section 9.4 hereof of such Request for Advance, which receipt may be in the form of an e-mail communication. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation to conduct any preliminary due diligence desired by Lender, all at Borrower’s expense. If Lender makes a preliminary determination in Lender’s sole and absolute opinion that (a) the requested Advance does not satisfy Lender’s underwriting criteria or (b) any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere in this Agreement have not been satisfied, Lender shall have no obligation to make the requested Advance. From the Loan Closing to the end of the Commitment Term, Borrower may borrow and repay the Advances in whole or in part, and re-borrow, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Lender shall incur no liability to Borrower in acting upon any request referred to herein which the Lender believes to have been made by an Authorized Person.

(c) Upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions as required hereunder for the making of the Initial Advance and the pledging of the Initial Loan Collateral, including without limitation, satisfaction of the conditions precedent as set forth in Section 4.4 and Section 4.5, Lender shall disburse the Initial Advance to Borrower.

(d) Commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2021, for each calendar quarter during which the aggregate average daily unpaid principal amount of outstanding Advances is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Credit Limit, Borrower shall pay to Lender, from its own funds, the Unused Line Fee. The Unused Line Fee shall be calculated on a calendar quarterly basis by Bank for the preceding calendar quarter, and shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender in arrears on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the last day of each March, June, September and December during the Commitment Term. The Unused Line Fee shall be non-refundable, and shall be deemed fully earned by Lender upon the expiration of each calendar quarter during the Commitment Term of the Loan.

(e) From and after the expiration of the Commitment Term, Borrower shall not be entitled to request or obtain any Advances of Loan Proceeds.

4.2. NOTE; PAYMENTS; INTEREST RATE.

4.2.1 Each Advance shall be evidenced by the Note, and shall accrue interest at the rate provided therein.

Borrower and Guarantor shall maintain the Compensating Balance Account(s) with an average daily aggregate balance in such Account(s) of not less than $5,000,000.00 at all times (“Compensating Balance Amount”) during the term of the Loan, to be reviewed quarterly, beginning with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2021. Should the Compensating Balance Requirement fail to be maintained during any

calendar quarter during the term of the Loan (“Quarter”), such will not constitute an Event of Default, but the interest rate that is applicable on the Note during the next Quarter shall automatically be increased by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) (“Increased Spread”) over the interest rate that would otherwise be applicable on the Note for such Quarter had the Compensating Balance Requirement been satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, in any Quarter that the Compensating Balance Requirement is satisfied, Borrower will not be charged the Increased Spread on the applicable Note rate in the next succeeding Quarter. In any Quarter that the Compensating Balance Requirement is not satisfied, Borrower will be charged the Increased Spread on the applicable Note rate for the next succeeding Quarter.

4.2.3 Borrower shall timely make all payments of principal and interest when due under the terms of the Note.

4.2.4 Borrower will repay in full any and all outstanding principal under the Note and all interest accrued thereon on or before the Maturity Date, subject to earlier acceleration upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Note.

4.6.2 Review of Collateral Loan Document Package; Approval of Eligible Receivables. Lender shall have a period of five (5) Business Days following submission by Borrower of a completed Collateral Loan Document Package for any Collateral Loan within which to review and approve, or not approve, Borrower’s request to approve such Collateral Loan as an Eligible Receivable. If, within such five (5) Business Day period, Lender has not notified Borrower in writing that such Collateral Loan is approved as an Eligible Receivable, then Lender shall be deemed to have not approved such Collateral Loan and such Collateral Loan shall not be an Eligible Receivable.

4.6.3 Withdrawal and Termination of Approval of Eligible Receivables. Notwithstanding any approval by Lender of any Collateral Loan as an Eligible Receivable, any such approval shall be deemed withdrawn and terminated if, at any time, any such Collateral Loan becomes an Ineligible Receivable; provided, however, if Lender approves a Collateral Loan as an Eligible Receivable after Borrower provides written notice to Lender of any matter that would render such Collateral Loan an Ineligible Receivable (“Notice of Ineligible Receivable”), such Eligible Receivable will not become an Ineligible Receivable as a consequence of any matter that was previously disclosed to Lender in the Notice of Ineligible Receivable and approval by Lender prior to making the associated Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notice of Ineligible Receivable regarding any Collateral Loan shall specifically identify the line item in Schedule 2 attached hereto that would render such Collateral Loan an Ineligible Receivable, and such Collateral Loan shall not become an Eligible Receivable unless and until Lender responds to the Notice of Ineligible Receivable with its approval in writing. Upon an Eligible Receivable becoming an Ineligible Receivable, the applicable Collateral Loan shall automatically cease to be an Eligible Receivable and be removed from the Borrowing Base and, Borrower shall repay the Advances in such amount as may be required pursuant to Section 4.1.1(a). Notwithstanding the removal of any such Collateral Loan from the Borrowing Base, such Collateral Loan shall remain a “Collateral Loan” until, and unless, such Collateral Loan is released pursuant to Section 4.7, upon which Lender will reconvey its security interest in the associated Collateral Loan Documents for such Collateral Loan to Borrower.

4.6.4 Appraisals. The initial Appraisal of any underlying real property collateral securing any Borrower Loan (including, without limitation, any Appraisals of the underlying real property collateral securing the Borrower Loans comprising the Initial Loan Collateral) shall be provided by Borrower to Lender, at Borrower’s expense.

4.7 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL LOANS. Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that any Borrower Loan constituting a Collateral Loan be released as a

Collateral Loan, and the liens and security interests of Lender therein be released, and, that such Borrower Loan shall cease to be an Eligible Receivable, provided, that:

4.7.1 Borrower shall provide Lender a written request to remove such Borrower Loan as a Collateral Loan, which request shall specify the requested date for the removal of such Borrower Loan as a Collateral Loan;

4.7.2 Lender shall have received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of removal of such Borrower Loan as a Collateral Loan, a Borrowing Base Certificate presenting Borrower’s computation of the Borrowing Base as of the requested date of removal and after giving effect to the removal of such Borrower Loan as a Collateral Loan and an Eligible Receivable;

4.7.3 After giving effect to the removal of such Borrower Loan as a Collateral Loan and, such Collateral Loan ceasing to be an Eligible Receivable, the outstanding Advances shall not exceed the Borrowing Base (any payment by Borrower in connection therewith shall be without premium or penalty);

4.7.4 No event or circumstance which constitutes, or would upon the giving of notice or passage of time, constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement shall exist prior to or after giving effect to the removal of such Borrower Loan as a Collateral Loan; provided that the following events and circumstances shall not be taken into account for purposes of this subparagraph: (i) a non-material default, or (ii) an event or circumstance that would be cured upon such release of such Collateral Loan;

4.7.5 Lender shall have received a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Borrower certifying that, to the best of her or his knowledge, the conditions in subsections 4.7.1 through 4.7.4 of this Section 4.7 are satisfied;

4.7.6 Borrower shall have provided to Lender such documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, as may be necessary to release Lender’s liens and security interests in the Collateral Loan Documents; and

4.7.7 Lender agrees that, if a Collateral Loan Obligor exercises its right to pay off in full a Collateral Loan, then Borrower shall be entitled to obtain the release of such Collateral Loan from Lender notwithstanding any restriction herein to the contrary, provided that (i) if no event or circumstance which constitutes, or upon the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute, an Event of Default under this Agreement will exist upon giving effect to the removal of such Borrower Loan as a Collateral Loan, then the Advance (or so much thereof as then remains outstanding) attributable to such Borrower Loan shall be paid to Lender, (ii) otherwise, the full amount of the payment made by the Collateral Loan Obligor to Borrower shall be paid to Lender, and (iii) in either event Lender shall have received from Borrower a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Borrower certifying as to (a) the Collateral Loan being repaid, (b) the amount of payment to be made by Borrower to Lender hereunder, and (c) whether to the best of the knowledge of the certifying officer any event or circumstance exists which constitutes, or upon the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute, an Event of Default

under this Agreement will exist upon giving effect to the removal of such Borrower Loan as a Collateral Loan.

4.8 REPAYMENT. In addition to other provisions set forth herein, repayment of the Loan will be required as follows:

4.8.1 Interest and principal payments under the Loan shall be due and payable to Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Note.

4.8.2 Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, if and to the extent any payment of principal or interest or sum otherwise due hereunder is not timely made pursuant to the Note, and to the extent of any obligation of Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or any other agreement, to charge against any account of Borrower with Lender an amount equal to the principal and accrued interest from time to time due and payable to Lender under the Note or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit in any way Borrower’s obligation to pay such amounts as and when due.

4.8.3 All payments hereunder or under the Note shall be made by Borrower without any offset or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, imposts or duties, of whatever nature, imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Governmental Agency. If at any time, whether by reason of any present or future Law or other requirement, Borrower shall be compelled by such Law or other requirement to deduct or withhold such taxes, imposts or duties (other than items in respect of income or other taxes of Lender), Borrower shall pay such additional amounts to Lender as may be necessary such that every net payment under this Agreement and the Note on which Borrower is obligated, after such deduction or withholding, will not be less than the amount required hereunder or thereunder.

4.8.4 Whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement and the Note shall be due on a day other than a Business Day of Lender, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such cases be included in the computation of payment of interest hereunder and under the Note.

4.9. DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Borrower hereby grants, assigns, pledges and hypothecates to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all deposit accounts maintained by Borrower with Lender, as security for each and all of the obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Operating Account and any and all Compensating Balance Accounts.

4.10. NO AUTOMATIC SET-OFF. The existence of any sum or sums being on deposit with Lender shall in no way constitute a set off against or be deemed to compensate the obligations of the Loan or any payment or performance due under the Loan Documents or this Agreement, unless and until Lender, by affirmative action, shall so apply said accounts or any portion thereof, and then only to the extent thereof as so designated by Lender.

4.11 RELIANCE BY LENDER AND ACQUITTANCE. Lender may conclusively assume that the statements, facts, information, and representations contained herein

and/or in any affidavits, orders, receipts, or other written instrument(s) that are filed with Lender or exhibited to it, are true and correct in all material respects, and Lender may rely thereon without any investigation or inquiry, and any payment made by Lender in reliance thereon shall be a complete release in its favor for all sums so paid.

4.12 EXTENSION OPTION. On or before February 10, 2023, provided no Event of Default (or event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default) shall exist under any of the Loan Documents and Borrower is in full compliance with each term, condition and covenant contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower may submit a written request to extend the Commitment Term for an additional twelve (12) month period. In the event Borrower requests an extension of the Commitment Term for an additional twelve (12) month period, Lender may, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not to grant such request and, if so, the terms and conditions for the granting of such request. Borrower shall execute such documents and instruments required by Lender if it grants such request, and shall reimburse Lender for any fees and costs incurred by Lender in the granting and documenting of any extension (if Borrower does not approve any such documents or instruments, then Borrower and Lender agree that the extension shall not be granted by Lender). In the event that Lender grants an extension of the Commitment Term for an additional twelve (12) month period, Borrower shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to request an additional extension of the Commitment Term prior to the end of that twelve (12) month period, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.12. Borrower understands that under no circumstances is Lender required to grant any extension of the Commitment Term if a request is made, and Borrower assumes the risk that no extension of the Commitment Term will be granted by Lender.

4.13 CONVERSION TO TERM LOAN. Upon expiration of the Commitment Term (“Conversion Date”), Borrower shall have the option of converting the Loan to a term loan in an amount not to exceed the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the Conversion Date, and, in connection therewith, obtaining an extension of the Maturity Date to the two (2) year anniversary of the Conversion Date, provided, however, that such conversion of the Loan to a term loan and such extension of the Maturity Date shall be subject to the occurrence or satisfaction (or waiver by Lender in writing), as applicable, of each and all of the following conditions by no later than the Conversion Date:

4.13.1 As of the Conversion Date, no Event of Default (or event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default) shall exist under any of the Loan Documents and Borrower shall be in full compliance with each term, condition and covenant contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

4.13.2 Borrower shall have provided Lender a written request for extension of the Maturity Date no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Conversion Date;

4.13.3 There shall have occurred no material adverse change in the financial conditions of Borrower or Guarantor from that which existed as of Loan Closing;

4.13.4 Borrower shall not be entitled to any new Advance of Loan Proceeds, and shall not request the same from and after the Conversion Date;

4.13.5 Borrower shall provide Lender with such additional assignments, agreements, promissory notes, security agreements, certificates, reports, approvals, instruments, documents, subordination agreements, financing statements, consents and opinions as Lender may reasonably request in connection with conversion of the Loan to a term loan;

4.13.6 Borrower shall pay to Lender, from Borrower’s own funds, all costs and expenses of Lender arising from or relating to the conversion of the Loan to a term loan, including, without limitation, Lender’s legal fees and expenses; and

4.13.7 Borrower shall have paid the Conversion Fee to Lender, from Borrower’s own funds, which Conversion Fee shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable to Borrower upon receipt by Lender.

SECTION 5.

THE COLLATERAL LOANS

Borrower hereby assigns, pledges, transfers, hypothecates and sets over to Lender all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Loans and Collateral Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to receive all payments, proceeds, and recoveries thereunder, collections and cash collateral of the Collateral Loan Documents, any casualty insurance or condemnation proceeds payable to Borrower thereunder, any and all policies of title insurance issued in connection with any Collateral Mortgage, and the proceeds and products of any of the foregoing, as collateral security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Lender shall have the exclusive right to (a) receive and enforce the Collateral Loan Documents, (b) exercise the Borrower's decision-making authority as lender thereunder, and (c) collect all payments and recoveries thereon and all proceeds thereof, to be applied by Lender to payment of the Loan and all fees, costs, and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan. Lender’s rights hereunder shall include, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and only during the continuance thereof, the exclusive right to collect and receive all payments, proceeds, and recoveries under and with respect to the Collateral Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to enforce the provisions of the Collateral Loan Documents in any manner Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, by judicial action or nonjudicial proceedings, and to otherwise xxxx for and account to Borrower for any and all payments, proceeds, and recoveries thereon as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing assignment, Borrower, alone, and not Lender, shall be obligated to fulfill all of the monetary and non-monetary obligations of the lender to Collateral Loan Obligor under the Collateral Note, Collateral Mortgage and additional Collateral Loan Documents.

Borrower shall fully and faithfully perform and satisfy all covenants and conditions of the Collateral Loan Documents, and Borrower shall, as of the closing of each Collateral Loan, take all steps necessary and appropriate in order to perfect Borrower’s security interest in and lien

upon all Underlying Collateral and to perfect Lender’s security interest in and lien upon all Loan Collateral. Borrower shall not make any Collateral Loan to any Person other than a Collateral Loan Obligor without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower shall service (or caused to be serviced) the Collateral Loans in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable Laws and, to the extent not expressly governed thereby, will, at a minimum, exercise the same degree of care as Borrower exercises with respect to the servicing and administration of loans held by Borrower for its own account.

Each Collateral Loan shall be identified by Lender with (i) the date and amount of each Collateral Note, (ii) the name of the Collateral Loan Obligor, (iii) the identification of the Collateral Mortgage, and (iv) the identification of the Collateral. Such records of Collateral Loans shall be maintained at Lender’s office, and the records of Lender shall, absent manifest error, be binding and conclusive upon Borrower.

5.1. COLLECTION. Borrower or Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to cause all Collateral Loan Obligors to make full and timely payment of all obligations due under the Collateral Loan Documents.

5.2. MONITORING COMPLIANCE; MODIFICATIONS. Borrower shall at all times, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, monitor and verify compliance by Collateral Loan Obligors with all obligations under the Collateral Loan Documents. Borrower shall service and administer (or caused to be serviced and administered by an Affiliate or by a third party Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) the Collateral Loans in accordance with servicing practices and procedures (including collection procedures) that are in all respects legal, proper and customary in the mortgage servicing industry in accordance with (a) the accepted mortgage servicing practices of prudent mortgage lending institutions that service mortgage loans of the same type as the Collateral Loans in the jurisdiction where the real Property secured by the related Collateral Mortgage is located, (b) applicable law, (c) the terms of the related Collateral Loan Documents, and (d) the servicing practices that Borrower and its Affiliates customarily employ and exercise in servicing and administering mortgage loans of the same type as the Collateral Loans for their own account (to the extent not conflicting with clauses (a) through (c) above) (the foregoing standard, “Servicing Standard”) and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through subservicers or agents, without the consent of Lender, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which Borrower may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation making Minor Modifications to any Collateral Loan Documents. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, to perform a collateral audit on any Collateral Loan at any time during the term of the Loan, utilizing an auditor acceptable to Lender, and the audit shall be at Borrower’s sole expense; provided, however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) any property or loan appraisals shall be at Lender’s expense, (ii) any audits conducted by Lender beyond one (1) such audit per calendar year shall be at Lender’s expense, (iii) the expense of any audit (without appraisals) for which Borrower is responsible hereunder shall not exceed $5,000.00, and (iv) the only expenses for which Borrower will be responsible hereunder are expenses to third parties reasonably incurred.

5.3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING COLLATERAL LOANS. Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to Lender with respect to each Collateral Loan as of the date such Collateral Loan is pledged as Collateral, except to the extent of deviations expressly disclosed to Lender in a written document as part of the Collateral Loan Package which references the specific representations and warranties as to which a deviation is noted:

5.3.1 The Mortgage creates a first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple estate in real property securing the related Collateral Loan Note (subject to the exception to the representations and warranty contained in Section 5.3.10).

5.3.2 All buildings and improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the Underlying Collateral lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Underlying Collateral and no buildings or improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the Underlying Collateral is in violation of any applicable zoning law, subdivision law, ordinance or regulation in any material respect.

5.3.3 The Collateral Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association or California Land Title Association mortgage title insurance policy, or such other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance pursuant to insurance policies, and the issuer thereof is qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Underlying Collateral is located, and which insures the holder of such Collateral Loan, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the mortgage (subject to the exception to the representations and warranty contained in Section 5.3.10) in the original principal amount of the Collateral Loan and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the mortgage. Additionally, such title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Underlying Collateral or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to delete the standard survey exception or to replace the standard survey exception with a specific survey reading.

5.3.4 The Underlying Collateral (including all buildings and improvements thereon) are insured by an insurer acceptable to Lender (Lender will reasonably cooperate to accept or reject an insurer in a reasonably prompt manner), against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Underlying Collateral is located. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 ("FDPA"), the Collateral Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, in an amount not less than the amount required by the FDPA. Such flood policy was issued by a generally acceptable insurer. The Mortgage obligates the Collateral Loan Obligor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Collateral Loan Obligor's cost and expense, and upon the Collateral Loan Obligor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Collateral Loan Obligor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefore from the related

Collateral Loan Obligor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and effect.

5.3.5 The Collateral Loan Note or Mortgage is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Collateral Loan Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Collateral Loan Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Collateral Loan Obligor in respect of the Collateral Loan was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Collateral Loan was originated.

5.3.6 The Collateral Loans were, and will have been, at all times serviced in accordance with the terms of the related Collateral Loan Note and in accordance with applicable Law. With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, the Borrower or the Servicer and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with applicable Law and the provisions of the related Collateral Loan Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable Law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every escrow item that remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or other charges or payments due the Borrower have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Collateral Loan Note.

5.3.7 There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, that is related to the Collateral Loan and likely to affect materially and adversely such Collateral Loan.

5.3.8 The documents required to be delivered on or before the related Closing Date with respect to such Collateral Loan have been delivered to Lender. The Collateral Loan Document Package contains each of the documents and instruments specified to be included therein duly executed and in due and proper form, and each such document or instrument complies with federal and state regulatory requirements (if any) applicable to Borrower or the origination of the Collateral Loan by Borrower or an Affiliate.

5.3.9 The Collateral Loan Note, the related Mortgage and any intervening assignments of the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and (ii) by general principles of equity. All parties to the Collateral Loan Note, the Mortgage and any intervening assignments had legal capacity to execute the Collateral Loan Note, the Mortgage and such assignments, and the Collateral Loan Note, Mortgage and such assignments have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

5.3.10 The related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Underlying Collateral, including all buildings on the Underlying Collateral, and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the Collateral Loan Note's original principal balance. The Mortgage and the Collateral Loan Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other conflicting interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy and either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the Collateral Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Underlying Collateral as set forth in such appraisal and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Underlying Collateral. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Collateral Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein.

5.3.11 The Mortgage and the related Collateral Loan Note contain customary and enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Underlying Collateral of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure, subject only to rights of redemption, seizure and other Laws that would not materially interfere with the ultimate realization of the benefits of the security.

5.3.12 The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law as of the date of such Mortgage, for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Collateral Loan in the event that the related Underlying Collateral is sold or transferred without the prior consent of the beneficiary of the Mortgage thereunder.

5.3.13 The terms of the Collateral Loan Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect from the date of origination; except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Lender, and which has been delivered to Lender. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required. No Collateral Loan Obligor in respect of the Collateral Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Collateral Loan Document Package delivered to Lender.

5.3.14 There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) materially and adversely affecting the Underlying Collateral which are, or may be, liens prior or equal to, or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage, unless within 60 days after such liens are first noticed to Borrower (i) such liens or claims have been bonded over to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender, or (ii) in the event the State which the Underlying Collateral is located does not provide for the bonding of such liens or claims, a cash escrow or other deposit or arrangement in respect of such liens has been established to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction.

5.3.15 There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Collateral Loan Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; and neither the Borrower nor any prior owner of such Collateral Loan has waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration. Neither the Borrower nor any such prior owner has waived the performance by any Collateral Loan Obligor of any action, if such party's failure to perform such action would cause the Collateral Loan to be in default. No foreclosure action is currently threatened or has been commenced with respect to any Underlying Collateral.

5.3.16 Each original Mortgage was recorded, and all subsequent assignments of the original Mortgage have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions in which such recordation is necessary to perfect the liens against each related Collateral Loan Obligor or are in the process of being recorded (except with respect to each MERS Collateral Loan, for which the related Assignment of Deed of Trust to MERS has been duly and properly recorded).

5.3.17 The Collateral Loan has been closed and the proceeds of the Collateral Loan have been fully disbursed (other than the portion of such Collateral Loan to be disbursed on a later date as part of a construction loan), there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing Collateral Loans and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and each Collateral Loan Obligor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Collateral Loan Note or Mortgage. All points and fees related to the Collateral Loan were disclosed in writing to each Collateral Loan Obligor in accordance with all applicable Laws.

5.3.18 No loan payment has been escrowed as part of the loan proceeds on behalf of the Collateral Loan Obligor, except for reserves funded by Borrower pursuant to the Collateral Loan Documents. No payments due and payable under the terms of the Collateral Loan Note and Mortgage, except for seller or builder concessions, have been paid by any person who was involved in, or benefited from, the sale or purchase of the Underlying Collateral or the origination, refinancing, sale, purchase or servicing of the Collateral Loan other than the Collateral Loan Obligor.

5.3.19 All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums and water, sewer and municipal charges which previously became due and owing have been paid by each Collateral Loan Obligor, or an escrow of funds from such Collateral Loan Obligor has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

5.3.20 All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Underlying Collateral and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and the Underlying Collateral is lawfully occupied under applicable Law in all material respects.

5.3.21 In the event the Mortgage is a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated, is named in the Mortgage and currently so serves, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the holder thereof to the trustee under the deed of trust, except for customary trustee service fees in accordance with customary market practice.

5.3.22 No Collateral Loan is secured by a leasehold interest with a term of less than 30 years.

5.3.23 The Borrower or its trustee is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner and holder of the Collateral Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Collateral Loan Note. Each sale of the Collateral Loan from any prior owner thereof was in exchange for fair equivalent value, and the prior owner was solvent on the sale date of the Collateral Loan and had sufficient capital to pay and was able to pay its debts as they would generally mature. The applicable Borrower or its related trustee has good, and marketable title to and is the sole owner thereof has full right and authority to pledge and assign the Collateral Loan to the Lender free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim (including, but not limited to, any preference or fraudulent transfer claim) or security interest.

5.3.24 All parties which have had any interest in the Collateral Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Underlying Collateral is located, except to the extent that failure to be so licensed would not give rise to any material claim against the holder.

5.4. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE; SETTLEMENT. Borrower shall (a) cause the Collateral Loan Obligors to at all times insure the Underlying Collateral against loss or damage by fire and other risks as shall be required pursuant to the Collateral Loan Documents, with Borrower to be the loss payable beneficiary and/or additional insured or (b) force place such insurance if any Collateral Loan Obligor fails to so comply with the Collateral Loan Documents (except that earthquake and/or terrorism insurance, if required pursuant to the provisions of the Collateral Loan Documents, will only be required hereunder to the extent commercially reasonable and customarily obtained by other lenders in respect of similarly-situated properties). In the event of any damage or destruction of the Underlying Collateral, or any taking of all or a portion of the Underlying Collateral by power of eminent domain, Borrower shall take any and

all action as may be necessary or appropriate to make a timely claim for proceeds or an award to which the holder of the Collateral Loan Documents is or may then be entitled; provided, however, that Borrower shall not settle or compromise the amount of any claim, settlement, payment, or award in an amount greater than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Collateral Loan, but not to exceed $1,000,000.00, without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval by Lender shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the amount of such settlement or award shall be released to pay for restoration of the Underlying Collateral if so required pursuant to the provisions of the Collateral Loan Documents and otherwise paid first to Lender to be applied to repay the Advances made by Lender with respect to the Underlying Collateral which is the subject of such claim.

5.5. MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY. If Borrower acquires title to the Underlying Collateral, Borrower (i) shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to cause the Underlying Collateral to be properly managed, maintained, repaired, and adequately insured, (ii) to the extent provided by Law, shall cause all rents and other income and proceeds and other rights generated from the Underlying Collateral and any insurance proceeds to be properly collected and applied for the account and benefit of Borrower and/or Lender according to their respective interests in the Underlying Collateral, and (iii) maintain insurance on the Underlying Collateral consistent with Section 5.4. Additionally in such circumstance, Lender shall obtain, at Borrower’s expense, an updated Appraisal for such Underlying Collateral and Borrower shall have paid to Lender, in addition to any other fees required under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, an appraisal review fee of approximately $1,000.00, which actual amount is to be determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, for review of such updated Appraisal.

5.6. REPORTING. Should Borrower at any time become aware of the occurrence of any loss, damage, destruction, waste, presence or release of any hazardous substance, or nuisance upon or from the Underlying Collateral, Borrower shall promptly report in writing to Lender Borrower’s findings and such other information related to such occurrence as Lender may reasonably request.

5.7. MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTEREST. Borrower shall perfect, and maintain the perfected status and priority, of all security for the Collateral Loans, including, but not limited to, all security interests in personal property and real property security. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall cause to be filed at all appropriate locations all such financing statements as shall be required or permitted pursuant to the Collateral Loan Documents, and all continuation statements extending the financing statements.

5.8. REPORTING AND REMITTANCE. Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar month, Borrower shall prepare and deliver to Lender a written report of the status of each Collateral Loan as of the end of such calendar month, which report shall include the following and all other information regarding each Collateral Loan as Lender may request from time to time: (a) the name and address of the Collateral Loan Obligors, and the loan number; (b) the principal amount of all advances, and all accrued and unpaid interest, on each Collateral Loan, and the date last paid and next due date; and (c) the existence of any breach or

default by Collateral Loan Obligors under the Collateral Loan Documents and, if so, any actions taken by Borrower to enforce the Collateral Loan Documents.

5.9. DEFAULT BY COLLATERAL LOAN OBLIGORS; THIRD PARTY CLAIMS

5.9.1 In the event of any breach or default by any Collateral Loan Obligor in the payment or performance of any obligations under the Collateral Loan Documents, then, so long as no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available to Borrower under the Collateral Loan Documents and by operation of law in order to collect all indebtedness thereunder and, if consistent with the Servicing Standard, to realize upon and liquidate all Underlying Collateral in payment thereof, including, without limitation, by commencing and pursuing to completion foreclosure, whether judicial or nonjudicial, of all liens and security interests encumbering the Underlying Collateral (subject to Borrower’s actions, if consistent with the Servicing Standard, including without limitation, the making of Minor Modifications). Borrower shall also timely file and pursue any and all claims which the holder of the Collateral Loan Documents shall be entitled to assert against third parties as may be necessary or appropriate in order to prevent losses to the Underlying Collateral or to the Loan Collateral, including, without limitation, all claims against any title insurance company with respect to any policy of title insurance issued in connection with a Collateral Loan. All actions taken by Borrower in the exercise and enforcement of the Collateral Loan Documents shall be undertaken and carried out by Borrower at its sole expense and risk (subject to required reimbursement by the underlying Collateral Loan Obligor), and in full compliance with applicable Law and in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may make Minor Modifications consistent with the Servicing Standard without Lender’s consent, and such will not violate the provisions of this Section. Borrower hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, and expense of whatever kind or description in connection with any and all actions taken by Borrower and its agents and attorneys in the exercise and enforcement of Borrower’s rights, remedies, and obligations under this Agreement or as a result of any failure by Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, all related expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender as a result thereof. Any and all payments, proceeds, and recoveries received and/or recovered by Borrower with respect to any and all such claims, actions and proceedings shall be paid first to Lender to the extent of the unpaid principal balance of any Collateral Loan Note which is the subject of any such matter; provided, however, Borrower shall not settle or compromise the amount of any claim, settlement, payment, or award without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval Lender will not unreasonably withhold.

5.9.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that any Collateral Loan that is an Eligible Receivable becomes an Ineligible Receivable, then (i) Lender’s approval of such Collateral Loan as an Eligible Receivable shall automatically terminate, (ii) such Collateral Loan shall automatically cease to be an Eligible Receivable and

shall be removed from the Borrowing Base, and (iii) Borrower shall make such repayment of the Loan as may be required pursuant to Sections 4.1.1.(a) or 4.6.3.

5.9.3 Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a waiver by Lender of any obligation or duty of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Borrower’s duty to enforce all Collateral Loan Documents in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

5.10. CONTINUOUS AND REPLACEMENT SECURITY. In the event Borrower commences a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure action or proceeding against a Collateral Loan Obligor pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.8 above, and intends to proceed to sell or otherwise dispose, or to cause a sale or other disposition to be made, of any Underlying Collateral pursuant to any such action or proceedings in liquidation of the indebtedness under a Collateral Loan, then Borrower shall sell or cause a sale of the Underlying Collateral in accordance with applicable Law and standards of commercial reasonableness. If Borrower acquires title to the Underlying Collateral in such a sale or through the acceptance of a deed in lieu (“DIL Transaction”), then Lender’s security interest under the Loan Documents shall attach to, and continue in, all such property purchased by Borrower, and all such Underlying Collateral purchased by Borrower shall automatically become and be deemed to constitute Collateral for any and all unpaid indebtedness and other obligations owing by Borrower to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, having a first lien priority and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein contained, and without limiting the validity and effectiveness of the foregoing provisions, Borrower shall notify Lender of each such proposed sale or DIL Transaction concerning Underlying Collateral in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of sale or DIL Transaction, and shall execute and deliver to Lender prior to such sale all such security instruments, in recordable form, as Lender shall reasonably require in order to create, continue, and perfect Lender’s lien upon and security interest in such Underlying Collateral, to be effective and perfected as of the time Borrower acquires title thereto as herein provided, including, without limitation, a deed of trust and assignment of rents (or mortgage, as applicable) in form and content reasonably required by Lender, encumbering any and all interests in real property which may then be the subject of such sale or DIL Transaction (“Lender Deed of Trust”). Lender may, in its sole discretion, cause such security agreements, financing statements or Lender Deeds of Trust to be duly filed or recorded prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to, the completion of such sale or DIL Transaction and, in the case of any sale or DIL Transaction concerning Underlying Collateral constituting interests in real property, may condition such sale or DIL Transaction and acquisition by Borrower upon the issuance of a title insurance policy to Lender, as the sole insured with respect to each Lender Deed of Trust, following Borrower’s acquisition of title to said property and at Borrower’s sole expense, in the amount of the then unpaid principal balance of the Note secured thereby and in form and content otherwise substantially identical to the title insurance policy issued to Borrower in connection with the original Collateral Loan, as updated.

5.11. INSURANCE. Borrower shall obtain and at all times maintain hazard and liability insurance with respect to any and all tangible Loan Collateral which may have been repossessed or otherwise acquired by Borrower in the exercise and enforcement of its rights

under the Collateral Loan Documents, in amounts reasonably necessary to protect the interests of Borrower and Lender, as their interests may appear, and issued by companies acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion. Upon Lender’s request, a certificate of insurance acceptable to Lender shall be delivered to Lender together with evidence of payment of premium thereon and an agreement to give Lender at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior notice of any material changes, termination, or expiration of the policies.

5.12. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Lender and Lender’s employees or agents shall have the right at all times to enter upon any and all real property collateral repossessed or acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure for whatever purpose Lender deems appropriate, including, without limitation, inspection of the premises and the posting of such notices and other written or printed material thereon as Lender may deem appropriate or desirable.

5.13. ENFORCEMENT UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. Unless and until all obligations to Lender have been fully and finally satisfied and discharged (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claims have been asserted at the time the Loan is paid in full and the commitment of Lender to make any further Advances has been terminated (herein referred to as “Surviving Indemnity Requirements”)), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and only during the continuance thereof, Lender shall have the sole right to receive any and all payments, proceeds and recoveries under or in connection with the Collateral Loan, and Lender shall have the right to notify Collateral Loan Obligor to make all payments under the Loan to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, so long as there exists no uncured Event of Default, Borrower shall have the sole and exclusive right to xxxx and collect all payments due under and pursuant to all Collateral Loans and otherwise to communicate in any manner or for any purpose with any Collateral Loan Obligor or guarantors under the Collateral Loans. Borrower shall observe reasonable loan servicing practices with respect to collection of such obligations in the ordinary course of its business. Borrower shall at all times diligently monitor and verify compliance by the Collateral Loan Obligor with all obligations under the Collateral Loan in accordance with reasonable loan servicing policies, practices, and procedures.

5.13.1 Lender shall have the right to take any and all other actions as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate in order to establish and perfect its rights and interests in and to the Collateral Loan Documents and in all payments, proceeds, and recoveries thereon; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement or applicable law to the contrary, no assignments of Collateral Deeds of Trust delivered by Borrower hereunder shall be recorded in the Official Records of any county unless and until there occurs an Event of Default that has not already been cured prior to such recordation.

5.13.2 In addition to any other power of attorney provided in the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney in fact, with full power of substitution, to endorse and otherwise negotiate payment in any form made by Collateral Loan Obligor under the Collateral Loan to or for the account of Lender, subject to the provisions of

this Agreement; provided, however, Lender shall only be entitled to exercise the appointment from and after an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof. Collateral Loan Obligor may conclusively rely upon all instructions, notices, requests for payment, and receipts given by Lender in connection with collection of the Collateral Loan.

In addition to any other indemnity herein provided, Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Lender from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and related costs, suffered or incurred by Lender (except if such arises as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a result of any action or proceeding taken by Lender in the collection and enforcement of the provisions of the Collateral Loan Documents as provided in the Loan Documents.

In addition to anything else herein stated:

6.1. LENDER MAY EXAMINE BOOKS AND RECORDS. Lender shall have the right, at any time, acting by and through its employees or agents, reasonably to examine the books, records, and accounting data of Borrower, and to make extracts therefrom or copies thereof; provided, however (except to the extent specified in Section 5.2), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such examinations conducted by Lender shall be at Lender’s expense. Borrower shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the request) make such books, records, and accounting data available to Lender, as stated above, upon written request, and upon like request shall promptly advise Lender, in writing, of the location of such books, records, and accounting data. Borrower shall at all times permit Lender to review, audit and examine all such books and records, either directly or through one or more auditors designated by Lender, including independent contractors, , provided that such audit shall be at Lender’s expense except to the extent specified in Section 5.2.

6.2. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER DEBT. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, and discharge, or cause to be discharged, (a) before delinquency all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, upon its income or profits, or upon any property belonging to it (including, without limitation, the Collateral); (b) when due all lawful claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials, and supplies), which, if unpaid, might become a lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its assets or property (including, without limitation, the Collateral); and (c) all its other obligations and indebtedness when due; provided, however, that Borrower may contest any of the foregoing in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted by Borrower as long as Borrower has adequate reserves to pay any adverse determination or has otherwise provided Lender evidence of a surety or bond to pay any adverse determination.

6.3. COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS. Borrower shall comply with all applicable Laws, including without limitation, all health and environmental Laws, and all other directions, orders and notices of violations issued by any Governmental Agency relating to or affecting Borrower or the Collateral.

6.6. DISTRIBUTIONS. Borrower shall not make, declare or permit any distribution to any officer, member, manager, partner or other direct or indirect beneficial owner of Borrower at any time that an Event of Default (or an event that with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing or if any such distribution would cause or contribute to an Event of Default (or an event that with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default), except to the extent required to permit Guarantor to comply with the legal requirements applicable to its status as a REIT.

6.67. TERRORISM AND ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING. Borrower warrants and agrees as follows:

6.7.1 As of the date hereof and throughout the term of the Loan: (i) Borrower; (ii) any Person controlled by Borrower; (iii) any Person for whom Borrower is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this transaction, is not an OFAC Prohibited Person.

6.7.2 To comply with applicable U.S. Anti-Money Laundering Laws and regulations, all payments by Borrower to Lender or from Lender to Borrower will only be made in Borrower’s name and to and from a bank account of a bank based or incorporated in or formed under the laws of the United States or a bank that is not a “foreign shell bank “ within the meaning of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. § 5311 et seq.), as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as such regulations may be amended from time to time.

6.7.3 To provide Lender at any time and from time to time during the term of the Loan with such information as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering Laws and regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, or to respond to requests for information concerning the identity of Borrower, or any Person controlled by Borrower, from any governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or financial institution in connection with its anti-money laundering compliance procedures, or to update such information.

Borrower agrees promptly to notify Lender in writing should Borrower become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations.

6.8. CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT; CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP OF GENERAL PARTNER.

6.8.1 There shall be no change in the management of Borrower; provided, however, if Borrower continues to be managed by Terra Capital Partner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or any other Affiliate of Guarantor, no change of management will be deemed to have occurred.

6.8.2 Borrower shall continue to be wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by Guarantor.

6.9. COOPERATION. Borrower shall take any and all action reasonably requested by Lender to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

6.10. SITE VISITS, OBSERVATIONS AND TESTING. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Loan Documents, Lender and its agents and representatives will have the right at any reasonable time, after giving reasonable notice to Borrower, to enter and visit any locations where the Collateral or Underlying Collateral is located for the purposes of observing the Collateral or Underlying Collateral, provided, however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such visitations conducted by Lender shall be at Lender’s expense except to the extent otherwise specified in Section 5.2. Lender will make reasonable efforts during any site visit, observation or testing conducted pursuant to this Section to avoid interfering with Borrower’s use of the Collateral. Lender is under no duty to observe the Collateral or Underlying Collateral or to conduct tests, and any such acts by Lender will be solely for the purposes of protecting Lender’s security and preserving Lender’s rights under this Agreement. No site visit, observation or testing, or any report or findings made as a result thereof, will (a) result in a waiver of any default of Borrower; (b) impose any liability on Lender; or (c) be a representation or warranty of any kind regarding the Collateral or Underlying Collateral (including its condition or value or compliance with any Laws) or any environmental report (including its accuracy or completeness).

6.11. NO TRANSFER OR FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender:

6.11.1 Create, incur, assume, permit or suffer to exist, any mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, hypothecation, charge (fixed or floating), security interest or other encumbrance whatsoever on any Assets of Borrower, including, without limitation, the Collateral Loans or any interest therein, except as permitted pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies

on property of Borrower, or in respect of a judgment or award against Borrower, if (i) such taxes, assessments or governmental charges are not delinquent at the time or thereafter can be paid without penalty, (ii) if Borrower shall have set aside adequate reserves therefor as determined or approved by its certified independent accounting firm, or (iii) if in the case of a judgments or award, execution on the same shall have been effectively stayed pending appeal or review or insured or bonded to the extent of Borrower’s liability in respect thereof, and in the case of all of the foregoing, the same are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.

6.11.2 Transfer the Collateral, or any interest therein, except as expressly permitted under the Agreement; or

6.11.3 Change the use of the Collateral.

6.12. NAME, FISCAL YEAR AND ACCOUNTING METHOD. Borrower will not change its name, fiscal year, or method of accounting.

6.13. LOANS. Borrower will not directly or indirectly (a) make any loan or advance to any other Person other than advances made in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business; (b) purchase or otherwise acquire any capital stock or any securities of any other Person, any limited liability company interest or partnership interest in any other Person, or any warrants or other options or rights to acquire any capital stock or securities of any other Person or any limited liability company interest or partnership interest in any other Person; (c) make any capital contribution to any other Person; (d) otherwise invest in or acquire any interest in any other Person or establish any subsidiaries, (e) guarantee or otherwise become obligated in respect of any indebtedness of any other Person, or (f) subordinate any claim against or obligation of any other Person to Borrower to any other indebtedness of such Person.

Except under the Collateral Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, or as otherwise approved, in writing, by Lender, Borrower shall not assume, create, incur, or permit to exist any contingent liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent reimbursement obligations under letters of credit.

6.15. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Borrower will not enter into, or cause, suffer or permit to exist, any arrangement or contract with any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, any management contract, unless such transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to Borrower than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction on an arms’ length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate.

6.16. OPERATING ACCOUNT.

6.16.3 In addition to being Borrower’s depository account(s) for any and all Net Operating Income of Borrower, the funds on deposit in the Operating Account shall be utilized, on a monthly basis, to pay any and all principal and/or interest payments due under the Note. Accordingly, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender on a monthly basis to disburse from the Operating Account the amount of principal and/or interest due under the Note, without further authorization on the part of Borrower. Such disbursements by Lender may be made by such means (including, without limitation, by automatic debit) as shall be satisfactory to Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the existence of the Operating Account, Borrower shall be responsible to pay interest and principal due under the terms of the Note from sources other than the Operating Account if necessary to comply with Section 6.16.4, regardless of whether the Operating Account has been disbursed in its entirety or an Event of Default has occurred.

6.16.4 Unless and until there occurs an Event of Default, the funds in the Operating Account shall be accessible to Borrower, and Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any and all sums on deposit in the Operating Account; provided, however, that there must remain on deposit in the Operating Account a sum sufficient to pay the installments of principal and/or interest due under the Note on the Payment Date immediately following the date of Borrower’s intended withdraw or utilization of funds in the Operating Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary stated in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any and all rights of Borrower to withdraw or otherwise utilize any or all of the funds in the Operating Account shall terminate without notice to Borrower, and, thereafter (for so long as such Event of Default continues), Borrower shall have no right to withdraw or otherwise utilize funds from the Operating Account or to reduce the balance in the Operating Account in any manner or for any purpose.

6.16.5 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may continue to withdraw funds from the Operating Account to pay any amounts of principal and/or interest due and unpaid under the Note, in Lender’s sole and absolute opinion and judgment, without further authorization on the part of Borrower.

6.16.6 If, with respect to the Operating Account, an automatic debit is entered to pay amounts of principal and/or interest due under the terms of the Note, but there are

insufficient funds in the Operating Account to pay such amounts of principal and/or interest in full on the date such debit is entered, then Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reverse such debit.

6.16.7 Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made no representation or warranty concerning the adequacy or sufficiency of the funds that may, at any time, be maintained in the Operating Account for payment of interest and/or principal on the Loan or any portion thereof.

6.17. ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY. Borrower does and shall at all times indemnify and hold harmless Lender against and from any and all claims, liability, suits, actions, debts, damages, costs, losses, obligations, judgments, charges, and expenses, of every and any nature whatsoever suffered or incurred by Lender in connection with the discharge of hazardous materials or hazardous waste, the presence of any hazardous materials or hazardous waste, or any violation of applicable Laws concerning hazardous materials or hazardous waste regarding or concerning any underlying real property serving as security for any Collateral Loan.

6.18. FINANCIAL COVENANTS. Borrower shall at all times remain in compliance with the financial and performance-related covenants set forth on Schedule 6.18, as calculated based on information and documentation actually provided to Lender by Borrower. Although Lender will formally measure compliance with each covenant at the intervals stated on Schedule 6.18, Borrower must remain in compliance with such covenants at all times they are applicable, and Lender reserves the right to declare a default under any such covenant at any time based on information otherwise available to Lender.

6.19. NO OTHER BUSINESS. Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any business other than as permitted to be performed under this Agreement.

6.20. NO OTHER ASSETS. Borrower shall not own any property other than Borrower Loans.

SECTION 7.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

There shall be an “Event of Default” under this Agreement if:

7.1. DEFAULT UNDER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall fail to pay any principal or interest, as applicable, when due under the terms of the Note (provided, however, in the case of interest, prior to the due date, Lender shall have either provided Borrower access to the information necessary for it to determine the amount of interest required to be paid on the due date or the actual amount of interest required to be paid on the due date); or Borrower shall fail to pay any other amount owing under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender as to such default; or Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, which failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days from the date Lender provides written notice of such failure to Borrower (provided, that if the nature

of the failure is such that an additional period is reasonably needed to effect such cure, such longer cure period shall be permitted, not to exceed sixty (60) days from the date of Lender’s notice to Borrower).

7.2. BREACH OF WARRANTY. Any warranties or representations made or agreed to be made in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents are breached in any material respect or shall prove to be false or misleading in any material respect when made, unless, as to any such breach that is not intentionally false or misleading, Borrower cures such breach within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender.

7.3. LITIGATION AGAINST BORROWER. Any suit is filed against Borrower, which has a reasonable likelihood of an adverse determination and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to substantially impair the ability of Borrower to perform any or all of its material obligations under and by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

7.4. ACCELERATION OR MATURITY OF OTHER DEBTS. Borrower does, or omits to do, any act, or any event occurs, as a result of which any material payment obligation of Borrower, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of any breach or default by Borrower under the terms of any other agreement between Lender and Borrower, whether or not arising hereunder and/or relating to Borrower’s ability to perform hereunder, may be declared immediately due and payable by the holder thereof prior to its stated maturity or has otherwise been declared due and payable at its stated maturity date; provided, that this Section will not apply unless (i) the beneficiary of such payment obligation accelerates such obligation prior to its stated maturity as a consequence thereof, and (ii) the principal amount of such obligation exceeds $500,000.00.

7.5. BANKRUPTCY. Borrower fails to pay its debts as they become due, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admits, in writing, its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or files a petition under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, now or hereafter existing, or becomes “insolvent” as that term is generally defined under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or shall in any involuntary bankruptcy case commenced against it file an answer admitting insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due, or fails to obtain a dismissal of such case within sixty (60) calendar days after its commencement or convert the case from one chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code to another chapter, or be the subject of an order for relief in such bankruptcy case, or be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or has a custodian, trustee, or receiver appointed for, or has any court take jurisdiction of, its properties, or any part thereof, in any voluntary or involuntary proceeding, including those for the purpose of reorganization, arrangement, dissolution, or liquidation, and such custodian, trustee, or receiver shall not be discharged, or such jurisdiction shall not be relinquished, vacated, or stayed within sixty (60) days after the appointment.

7.6. BORROWER STATUS. Borrower is liquidated, dissolved, or fails to maintain its status as a going concern.

7.7. EXECUTION LEVY. Execution by a creditor of Borrower or Guarantor is levied against any of the Loan Collateral or any lien creditor of Borrower or Guarantor shall commence suit to enforce a judgment lien against the Loan Collateral, and such action or suit shall not have been bonded or shall continue unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days or more.

7.8. ATTACHMENT. Any proceeding is brought to make any part of the Lender’s commitment to make the Advances subject or liable to attachment or levy by any creditor of Borrower and such proceeding shall not have been bonded or shall continue unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days or more.

7.9. [Reserved.]

7.10. JUDGMENTS. A judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of $500,000.00, in the aggregate shall be rendered against Borrower or Guarantor by one or more courts, administrative tribunals or other bodies having jurisdiction and the same shall not be satisfied, discharged (or provision shall not be made for such discharge) or bonded, or a stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof, and Borrower shall not, within said period of sixty (60) days, or such longer period during which execution of the same shall have been stayed or bonded, appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be stayed during such appeal, unless Borrower provides Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that adequate funds have been reserved or set aside for the payment thereof.

7.11. MISREPRESENTATION AND/OR NON-DISCLOSURE. Borrower has made certain statements and disclosures in order to induce Lender to make the Loan and enter into this Agreement, and, if Borrower has made material misrepresentations or failed to disclose any material fact, Lender may treat such misrepresentation or omission as a breach of this Agreement, provided that Borrower will have thirty (30) days to cure such breach after notice from Lender, unless such misrepresentation or omission was intentionally false or misleading.

7.12. [Reserved.]

7.13. LOANS. Other than Borrower Loans, Borrower directly or indirectly makes a loan or advance to any other Person, including, without limitation, officers, shareholders, employees, Affiliates and subsidiaries of Borrower.

7.14. CROSS DEFAULT; OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Borrower or Guarantor commits a breach or default in the payment or performance of any other obligation of Borrower or Guarantor, or breaches any warranty or representation of Borrower or Guarantor, in each case under the provisions of any other instrument, agreement, guaranty, or document evidencing, supporting, or securing any other loan or credit extended by Lender, or by any Affiliate of Lender, to Borrower, Guarantor, or to any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, including, but not limited to, any and all term loans, revolving credits, or lines of credit extended from time to time to Borrower or Guarantor (or any Person signing this Agreement on behalf of Borrower), or any other Person with which Borrower or Guarantor is affiliated; provided, that this Section will not apply unless (i) Lender or such Affiliate of Lender accelerates such loan or credit prior to its

stated maturity as a consequence thereof, and (ii) the principal amount of such loan or credit exceeds $500,000.00.

7.15. GUARANTOR. Guarantor revokes or attempts to revoke the Guaranty, or an Event of Default occurs under (and as defined in) the Guaranty.

SECTION 8.

REMEDIES

Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default Lender shall have the following remedies:

8.1 CEASE PAYMENT AND/OR ACCELERATE. Upon, or at any time after, the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have no obligation to make any further Advances, all sums disbursed or advanced by Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable, and Lender shall be released from any and all obligations to advance funds to Borrower under the terms of this Agreement.

8.2 COLLATERAL. Upon, or at any time after, the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, without notice to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or without regard to the adequacy of the Collateral for the payment of the Loan, appoint one or more receivers of the Collateral, and Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment, with such receivers having all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to maintain, sell, dispose and otherwise operate the Collateral upon such terms that may be approved by a court of competent jurisdiction.

8.3 ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS. Upon, or at any time after, the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may enforce any and all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and all other documents delivered in connection therewith and against any or all Collateral and may pursue all rights and remedies available at Law or in equity. In addition to all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, Lender shall have the right, at any time and without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Borrower or any other person (all and each of which demand, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by law), to proceed immediately to collect, redeem, receive, appropriate, sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more lots at public or private sale or sales at Lender’s offices or elsewhere at such prices and on such terms as Lender may reasonably determine. The foregoing disposition(s) must be for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk by Lender, with Lender having the right to purchase all or any part of said Collateral so sold at any such sale or sales, public or private, free of any right or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived or released by Borrower. The proceeds of any such collection, redemption, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization, sale or other disposition, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind

incurred relative thereto or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any and all Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Lender hereunder (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, including, without limitation, a reasonable estimate of the allocated cost of Lender’s in house counsel and legal staff) shall be applied first to the satisfaction of the Obligations (in such order as Lender may elect and whether or not due) and then to the payment of any amounts required by applicable law, including Section 9610 of the UCC. Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the payment on demand of all such costs and expenses, together with interest at the default rate set forth in the Note, together with any reasonable attorneys’ fees if placed with an attorney for collection or enforcement. Borrower agrees that thirty (30) days’ prior notice by Lender of the date after which a private sale may take place or a public auction may be held is reasonable notification of such matters and shall be deemed commercially reasonable under the UCC.

8.4 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES NON-EXCLUSIVE. In addition to the specific rights and remedies hereinabove mentioned, Lender shall have the right to avail itself of any other rights or remedies to which it may be entitled, at Law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the right to have a receiver appointed over Borrower and/or its assets, the right to realize upon any or all of its security, and to do so in any order. Furthermore, the rights and remedies set forth above are not exclusive, and Lender may avail itself of any individual right or remedy set forth in this Agreement, or available at Law or in equity, without utilizing any other right or remedy.

SECTION 9.

9.5. USA Patriot Act Notice. Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or obtains

a loan. Lender will ask for Borrower’s legal name, address, tax ID number or social security number and other identifying information. Lender may also ask for additional information or documentation or take other actions reasonably necessary to verify the identity of Borrower, Guarantor or other related persons.

9.6. INDEMNITY BY BORROWER. Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Lender and its directors, officers, agents, attorneys, and employees (individually and collectively, the “Indemnitee(s)”) harmless from and against:

9.6.1 Any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Collateral Loan Obligor if the claim, demand, action, or cause of action, directly or indirectly, relates to a claim, demand, action, or cause of action that the Person has or asserts against Borrower;

9.6.2 Any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are incurred by an Indemnitee as a result of a breach of Section 3.9 of this Agreement; and

9.6.3 Any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action specified in this Section 9.6.

9.7. CHANGE IN LAWS. In the event of the enactment, after the date of this Agreement, of any Laws: (a) deducting from the value of property for the purpose of taxation any lien or security interest thereon; (b) imposing upon Lender the payment of the whole or any part of the taxes or assessments or charges or liens herein required to be paid by Borrower; (c) changing in any way the Laws relating to the taxation of deeds of trust or mortgages or security agreements, or debts secured by deeds of trust or mortgages or security agreements, or the interest of the mortgagee or secured party in the property covered thereby (not including income taxes); or (d) changing the manner of collection of such taxes; then, to the extent any of the foregoing may affect the Collateral or the indebtedness secured thereby or Lender, then, and in any such event, Borrower, upon demand by Lender, shall pay such taxes, assessments, charges, or liens, or reimburse Lender therefor. If Borrower shall be prohibited from paying such tax or from reimbursing Lender for the amount thereof, Borrower shall execute a modification to the Loan Documents and the Note, which modification shall increase the interest rate payable pursuant to the Note so as to permit Lender to maintain its yield as if such tax had not been imposed. If Borrower shall be prohibited from executing the above-referenced modifications, Lender may, in Lender’s sole discretion, declare the principal of all amounts disbursed and owing under the Note, this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents (including all obligations secured by the Loan Documents) and all other indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, together with interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable, regardless of any other specified maturity or due date.

9.8. NONRESPONSIBILITY. Lender shall in no way be liable for any acts or omissions of Borrower or Borrower’s agents or employees.

9.9. BINDING EFFECTS; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender shall have the right, without the written consent of Borrower, to assign its rights under this Agreement and to grant participations in the Loan to others, but all waivers or abridgements of Borrower’s obligations that may be granted from time to time by Lender shall be binding upon such assignees or participants, but any such waivers or agreements, to be effective, must be in writing and signed by Lender; provided, however, that Lender shall not assign any rights under this agreement or grant any participations in the Loan to any other lender without the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (a) Borrower will not have a right of consent to any lender receiving an assignment or participation (except as to a Specified Lender) if an Event of Default is existing at the time Lender enters into an agreement to assign or participate an interest in the Loan, and (b) Borrower will be deemed to be reasonable for purposes hereof if Borrower withholds consent to any Specified Lender. In that regard, Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose to each prospective and actual transferee or participant any and all documents relating to the Loan and Borrower. Borrower shall, promptly upon demand, provide Lender or any such purchaser or participant (other than a Specified Lender), on a confidential basis, one or more written statements confirming Borrower’s indebtedness to Lender and all obligations in connection with the Loan, including the existence of any default thereunder.

9.10. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and any other Loan Documents, except the Note, may be executed in any number of counterparts, and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which, when executed and delivered, will be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party or parties hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement in a Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement, any addendum or amendment hereto or any other document necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be accepted, executed or agreed to through the use of an electronic signature in accordance with the E-Sign, UETA and any applicable state law, but only, if “wet” signatures are provided within ten (10) Business Days thereof. Any document accepted, executed or agreed to in conformity with such laws will be binding on all parties hereto to the same extent as if it were physically executed and each party hereby consents to the use of any secure third party electronic signature capture service providers with appropriate document access tracking, electronic signature tracking and document retention as may be approved by Lender in its sole discretion.

9.11. INTEGRATION; AMENDMENTS; CONSENTS. This Agreement, together with the documents referred to herein constitutes the entire agreement of the parties touching upon the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior negotiations or agreements on such subject matter. No amendment, modification, or supplement of any provision of this

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective unless in writing, signed by Lender and Borrower; and no waiver of any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall be effective unless in writing, signed by Lender, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

9.12. NEUTRAL INTERPRETATION. This Agreement is the product of the negotiations between the parties, and in the interpretation and/or enforcement hereof is not to be interpreted more strongly in favor of one party or the other.

9.13. COSTS, EXPENSES, AND TAXES. In addition to other amounts expressly for Borrower’s account pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement (but without duplication), Borrower shall pay to Lender, on demand:

9.13.11 All reasonable attorneys’ fees and outofpocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other Loan Document;

9.13.12 All out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and any matter related thereto, including the outofpocket expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees of any legal counsel, independent public accountants, and other outside experts reasonably retained by Lender and including all costs and expenses of enforcing any judgment or prosecuting any appeal of any judgment, order or award arising out of or in any way related to the Loan, this Agreement, or the Loan Documents (except to the extent due to the willful misconduct, whether by act or omission, of Lender or its Affiliates); and

9.13.13 All out-of-pocket costs, expenses, fees, premiums, and other charges required to perfect Lender’s Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents or reconvey such Collateral to Borrower, including, but not limited to, recording fees, filing fees, release or reconveyance fees.

All sums paid or expended by Lender under the terms of this Agreement shall be considered to be, and shall be, a part of the Loan. All such sums, together with all amounts to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, shall bear interest from the date of expenditure at the rate provided in the Note, shall be secured by the Loan Documents, and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower upon demand.

9.14. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein or in any and all other Loan Documents shall survive the making of the Loan and the execution and delivery of the Note, and are material and have been or will be relied upon by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by Lender or on behalf of Lender. For the purpose of this Agreement, all statements contained in any certificate, agreement, financial statement, appraisal or other writing delivered by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant hereto or to any other Loan Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to be

representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein or in the other Loan Documents, as the case may be.

9.15. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall, at its sole expense and without expense to Lender, do, execute, and deliver such further acts and documents as Lender from time to time may reasonably require for the purpose of assuring and confirming unto Lender the rights hereby created or intended, now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document, or for assuring the validity of any security interest.

9.16. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION.

9.16.1 The Loan shall be deemed to have been made in Arizona, and the Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Arizona. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Collateral for the Loan is located shall apply to the creation and perfection of security interests therein and to the exercise of remedies by Lender that pertain or concern such Collateral, including, without limitation, the foreclosure of the security interests and liens granted in such Collateral.

9.16.2 Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Lender or any affiliate of the Lender in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of Arizona sitting in Maricopa County, and of the United States District Court of the District of Arizona, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Arizona State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

9.17. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid shall be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

9.18. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. If this Agreement is executed by more than one Person as Borrower, the obligations of each of such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several obligations.

9.19. JURY WAIVER. BORROWER WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH BORROWER AND LENDER MAY BE PARTIES, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. IT IS AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER, AND BORROWER HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. BORROWER FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER TO PROVIDE THE FINANCING DESCRIBED HEREIN OR IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Borrower has initialed this Section 9.19 to further indicate its awareness and acceptance of each and every provision hereof.

(b) Any Collateral Loan which has incomplete loan documentation, or for which any loan documentation is not fully executed, in any material respect, unless such deficiency is corrected within five (5) Business Days after notice from Lender;

(c) Any Collateral Loan for which the Collateral Loan Documents do not provide for the creation of a perfected first priority lien upon and/or security interest in all Underlying Collateral (subject to the exception to the representations and warranty contained in Section 5.3.10); provided that any lien or encumbrance first noticed to Borrower after a Collateral Loan is accepted as an Eligible Receivable by Lender shall not render such Collateral Loan an Ineligible Receivable under this paragraph if, within 60 days after such lien or encumbrance is so noticed to Borrower (i) such lien or claim has been bonded over to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender, or (ii) in the event the State which the Underlying Collateral is located does not provide for the bonding of such lien or claim, a cash escrow or other deposit or arrangement in respect of such liens or encumbrances has been established to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction;

(d) All conditions to the funding of the portion of any Collateral Loan required to be funded at the closing of such Collateral Loan shall have been satisfied in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Loan Documents and either (i) the Collateral Loan shall be fully funded at such closing, or (ii) the Loan Proceeds shall be used to fund the Collateral Loan, to the extent required at such Collateral Loan’s closing (for avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply to advances under Collateral Loans pursuant to which Borrower is obligated to make advances after such closing).

(e) Any Collateral Loan for which any levy has been made by a creditor of Borrower or Guarantor on any Underlying Collateral therefor if such levy has not been released or bonded or (if bonding is not available in the applicable State) otherwise addressed to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender within sixty (60) days of its creation;

4085694.5 | 100775-0196 Schedule 2-1

(g) Any Collateral Loan as to which any payment of principal or interest at the non-default rate or any other material monetary payment is more than sixty (60) days past due; provided, that if Borrower or any Collateral Loan Obligor applies amounts in any reserve or escrow account to pay any such principal or interest within such 60-day period, then such Collateral Loan shall not be an Ineligible Receivable (unless some other payment of principal or interest at the non-default rate is more than sixty (60) days past due and is not similarly paid from a reserve or escrow account)(for avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this paragraph there shall be disregarded obligations that, pursuant to the definition of Minor Modifications, are deemed to constitute nonmaterial monetary obligations) ;

(h) Any Collateral Loan that is in default, subject to a forbearance, or is otherwise non-performing (unless the default, forbearance or non-performance is a required payment default of less than sixty (60) days) for any reason); provided that this paragraph will cease to apply to a Collateral Loan once such Collateral Loan is accepted by Lender as an Eligible Receivable (it being the intent of the parties that in such case paragraph (g) of this Schedule 2 will apply);

(i) Any Collateral Loan with a maturity date greater than five (5) years from the date of its origination;

(j) Any Collateral Loan, or with respect to the Collateral Mortgage securing such Collateral Loan, where judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings have been commenced; or

(k) Any Collateral Loan which is deemed ineligible by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that this paragraph will cease to apply to a Collateral Loan once such Collateral Loan is accepted by Lender as an Eligible Receivable (for avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties that Section 4.6.3 will apply to Collateral Loans once accepted by Lender as Eligible Receivables).
