THE LOANS
Section 2.1 Term Loans .
(a) Closing Date Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make a Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000 (the “Closing Date Term Loan”) and in the respective amounts set forth on Annex A.
(b) Incremental Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if all Incremental Term Loan Conditions have been satisfied, from time to time after the Closing Date, each Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make term loans available to Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000 (collectively, the “Incremental Term Loan”). This Section 2.1(b) shall not be construed to create any obligation on the Lenders to extend or to commit to extend any Incremental Term Loan to Borrower, and any Incremental Term Loan will only be funded upon the approval of the Lenders, which such approval may be given or withheld in such Lender’s sole discretion.
Section 2.2 Evidence of Debt. The Loans shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by each Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the reasonable written request of any Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, which shall evidence such Loans made by such Lender in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Note and payments with respect thereto.
Section 2.3 Repayment of Loans. Borrower shall repay the unpaid Principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other outstanding Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been asserted).
Section 2.4 Interest.
(a) Interest Payments. The Principal shall accrue interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the applicable Settlement Date until the Loans have been Paid in Full at a rate per annum equal to 14.0% (the “Accrual Rate”). From the applicable Settlement Date and thereafter until the Loans have been Paid in Full, interest shall be paid currently in cash on a monthly basis in arrears on each Interest Payment Date at the fixed rate of 12.0% per annum (the “Cash Pay Rate”). On each Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall: (A) make an additional cash payment to the Lenders of interest accruing on the Loans since the last Interest Payment Date at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum of the Principal outstanding under the Loans (the “Additional Cash Amount”); (B) increase the then outstanding Principal of the Loans by an amount (the “PIK Amount”) equal to the difference between (i) interest accruing at the applicable Accrual Rate during the preceding month and (ii) interest accruing at the applicable Cash Pay Rate during the preceding month; or (C) pay a portion of the Additional Cash Amount to the Lenders and compound to the Principal a portion of the PIK Amount such that the combined amount of such portion of the Additional Cash Amount and such portion of the PIK Amount is equal to interest accruing since the last Interest Payment Date at a rate of 2.0% per annum of the Principal outstanding under the Loans (collectively, the Additional Cash Amount, the PIK Amount or any combination thereof, the “Additional Interest Amount”); provided that, if the Borrower shall make an election to satisfy a portion of its interest payment obligations under this Section 2.4(a) on an Interest Payment Date by compounding any of the Additional Interest Amount to Principal, it shall do so by compounding any such amount of the Additional Interest Amount to all Lenders on an equal and ratable basis. Accrued and unpaid interest shall also be due and payable on the date on which any Principal is due, including on the Maturity Date.
(b) Default Rate; Payment of Default Interest. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (it being understood and agreed that, with respect to an Event of Default related to non-compliance with any of the financial covenants contained herein, the date of occurrence shall be the applicable test date), the Principal, as well as any overdue Obligations, shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate, beginning on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, except to the extent the Required Lenders have otherwise agreed in writing not to charge such Default Rate. All such interest shall be paid as an increase to the Cash Pay Rate in a manner consistent with Section 2.4(a) hereof on a monthly basis (or, at the option of the Required Lenders, on demand) until the Payment in Full of the Obligations hereunder or such Event of Default has ceased to be continuing (whether as a result of a written waiver by the Required Lenders or otherwise).
(c) Savings Clause. No provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Documents shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event any Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the Principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes; and, if the principal of the Notes has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.
Section 2.5 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Loans shall be used to (i) finance a portion of the consideration payable in connection with Property Acquisitions, (ii) refinance in full the Existing Indebtedness, (iii) general working capital requirements of Borrower and for other legitimate corporate purposes approved by Xxxx in its reasonable discretion, and (iv) in each case, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith or herewith.
Section 2.6 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents under all circumstances, including (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, (b) the existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights which Borrower, any Obligated Party or any other Person may have at any time against any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any unrelated transaction, (c) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any Loan Document or (d) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

This clause (d) shall not apply to dispositions involving (a) the sale, lease, license, transfer or other disposition of inventory in the ordinary course of business; (b) the sale, lease, license, transfer or other disposition in the ordinary course of business of surplus, obsolete or worn out property no longer used or useful in the conduct of business of any Credit Party; (c) any sale, lease, license, transfer or other disposition of property to any Credit Party; (d) the sale or discount of accounts in the ordinary course of business and (e) termination of a lease of real or personal property that is not necessary in the ordinary course of business and that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The making of any mandatory prepayment under this Section 4.3 shall not excuse any action that would otherwise constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

Section 13.1 Appointment.
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably designates and appoints HCM Agency, LLC (and its permitted successors and assigns) as the Collateral Agent of such Lender (or the Lenders represented by it) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the term hereof (and HCM Agency, LLC hereby accepts such appointment) and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Any reference to the Collateral Agent in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Collateral Agent solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent and not in its capacity, if any, as a Lender.
Section 13.2 Delegation of Duties.
The Collateral Agent may execute any of its respective duties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to Lenders for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Collateral Agent with reasonable care.
Section 13.3 Exculpatory Provisions.
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be (i) liable to Lenders for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for actions occasioned by its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
Section 13.4 Reliance by Collateral Agent.
The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless the Collateral Agent shall have actual notice of any transferee. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected from Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future Lenders.
Section 13.5 Notices of Default.
The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders solely with respect to any Collateral; provided that unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders, except to the extent that other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents expressly require that any such action be taken or not be taken only with the consent and authorization or the request of the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable.
Section 13.6 Non-Reliance on the Collateral Agent and Other Lenders.
Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders represents that it has made and will continue to make, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Credit Parties which may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
Section 13.7 Indemnification.
Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Loans, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent they result from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 13.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 13.8 The Collateral Agent in Its Individual Capacity.
The Collateral Agent and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Credit Parties as though the Collateral Agent were not a Collateral Agent hereunder. With respect to any Loan made by it, the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Collateral Agent, and the term “Lenders” shall include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 13.9 Resignation of the Collateral Agent; Successor Collateral Agent.
The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days advance notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower and, thereafter, the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval of Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, been approved (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) by Borrower or have accepted such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the Collateral Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Collateral Agent reasonably acceptable to Borrower (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), on behalf of the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 13.9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent. If no successor has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
Section 13.10 Release of Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its reasonable discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon Payment in Full; (b) constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement; or (c) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall promptly, upon the written request of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Credit Parties such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon Payment in Full, (b) which constitutes property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (c) which constitutes property in which a Credit Party owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter or (d) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or all the Lenders, as the case may be.
Section 13.11 Reimbursement by Lenders.
To the extent that Borrower for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 12.1 or 12.2 to be paid by it to the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any officer, director, employee, attorney or agent (each a “Related Party”) of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s applicable percentage thereof (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. For the purposes of this Section 13.11, the “applicable percentage” of a Lender shall be the percentage of the total aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender at such time.
