THE TERM LOAN
2.1 Term Loan.
(a)Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make a loan (the “Term Loan”) to Borrower. The Term Loan shall be in the amount of TWELVE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($12,850,000.00), fully advanced to Borrower on the Closing Date.
(b)Lender agrees, upon Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Loan Opening, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred with respect to Borrower, any Guarantor, or the Property and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, to Open the Loan to reimburse Borrower for the costs incurred by Borrower in connection with the refinance of existing indebtedness on the Property.
(c)To the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in noncompliance with any requirements precedent to the Opening of the Loan or precedent to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds,
- 12 -
such acquiescence shall not constitute a waiver by Lender, and Lender may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrower to comply with all such requirements
(d)If Lender consists of more than one party, the obligations of each such party with respect to the amount it has agreed to loan to Borrower shall be several (and not joint and several) and shall be limited to its proportionate share of the Loan and of each advance.
2.2 The Note.
The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, duly executed and delivered on behalf of Borrower. Upon Lender’s furnishing to Borrower (i) an affidavit to such effect and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by Borrower to hold Borrower harmless, Borrower shall, if the Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, deliver to Lender, in substitution therefor, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as the Note. In the case of a mutilated or defaced Note, the mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered to Borrower upon delivery to Lender of the new Note.
2.3 Maturity Date.
All principal, interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
2.4 Payments on the Term Loan.
(a) Commencing on October 1, 2018, until and including the Maturity Date, on the first day of each month (each a “Payment Date”), Borrower shall make payments of (i) principal in the amount of $107,083.33 and (ii) interest in arrears to be calculated by Lender each month, and such calculation shall be binding absent manifest error. The outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrower’s account only if received by 2:00 p.m. Dallas time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever a payment to be made hereunder shall fall due and payable on any day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any scheduled payments of principal and interest (excluding the payment due on the Maturity Date), Borrower will be entitled to a grace period of five (5) days from such date before interest at the Default Rate or a late payment charge is imposed by reason of such late payment.
(b) It is the intent of Borrower and Lender to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment, default, demand for payment, or acceleration of the maturity of any obligation), shall the rate of interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents exceed the highest lawful interest rate permitted under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”). If Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest under applicable law and which would apart from this provision be in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Loan in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term (including
- 13 -
any renewal or extension) of the Loan so that the amount of interest on account of such obligation does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate. As used in this Section, the term “applicable law” shall mean the laws of the State of
Texas or the federal laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.
2.5 Prepayment of the Term Loan.
Borrower may prepay the Term Loan in whole but not in part together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other documents due and payable under the Note, this Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, at any time, but only after advance written notice to Lender of at least thirty (30) days, upon payment of the Exit Fee, and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Lender’s acceptance of any prepayment under this Section 2.5 shall not waive any of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents arising pursuant to an Event of Default.
2.6 Late Charge.
If any sum payable under the Note or hereunder is not paid on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay, upon demand, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum as a late payment charge, which payment shall be in addition to all of Lender’s other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed a cure period for the purpose of determining the occurrence of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to regular monthly payments of principal and/or interest, Borrower will be entitled to a grace period of five (5) days from the date due before a late charge is imposed by reason of such late payment.
2.7 Funds; Manner of Payment.
Each payment of principal and interest on the Note shall be made in immediately available federal funds without set-off or counterclaim to Lender. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due, or whenever any Payment Date would otherwise occur on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.
2.8 Default Rate.
If an Event of Default exists (including Borrower’s failure to pay the outstanding Obligations in full on the Maturity Date), in addition to the late payment charge set forth at Section 2.6 hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender, at Lender’s election in writing, interest at the Default Rate on the entire unpaid principal sum and any other amounts due at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Default Rate will be computed from the date the Event of Default occurs until the earlier of the date the Event of Default is cured or the actual receipt and collection of the Obligations. This charge will be added to the Obligations, and will be deemed secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
2.9 Use of the Term Loan Proceeds.
The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used by Borrower to refinance the Property and for transaction costs and fees.
2.10 Fees.
- 14 -
(a) Origination Fee. On or prior to the Closing Date, Lender shall have received the Origination Fee from Borrower.
(b) Exit Fee. On the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) such earlier time that the Loan is paid in full or accelerated, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Exit Fee.
(a) Special Servicing Fee. If there is an Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan is transferred to a special workout person (“Special Servicer”) for workout, including, without limitation, advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing, administering, or amending Loan documents in any form or fashion, the Special Servicer is entitled to collect a fee for their services equal to one percent (1.0%) per annum based on the unpaid principal loan balance at the time the Loan is transferred. Said fee will be due and payable monthly on each Payment Date and will be in addition to any other Loan payment requirements contained in the Loan Documents.
(b) Servicing Fee. On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on a monthly basis, along with interest then due, a servicing fee equal to 0.0041667% of the unpaid principal loan balance at the time of such payment. Said fee will be due and payable on each Payment Date, and will be in addition to any other Loan payment requirements contained in the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE IX
LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
9.1 Rights and Remedies.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender (at its election but without notice of its election and without demand) may do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower:
(a) Declare all or any portion of the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower;
(b) Without notice to or demand upon any Loan Party, make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in Borrower Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble Borrower Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make Borrower Collateral available to Lender at a place that Lender may designate which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Borrower authorizes Lender to enter the premises where Borrower Collateral is located, subject to the rights of tenants other than Affiliates of the Borrower, to take and maintain possession of Borrower Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien that in Lender’s sole determination, appears to conflict with the priority of Lender’s Liens in and to Borrower Collateral and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith and to charge to the balance of the Loan. With respect to any of Borrower’s owned or leased premises, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, subject to the rights of tenants other than Affiliates of the Borrower, in order to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(c) Without notice to Borrower (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting an acceptance of any collateral in full or partial satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Lender, or (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Lender;
(d) Terminate any commitment to lend hereunder;
(e) Require Borrower to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate; and
(f) Lender shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document.
The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. In the event of an Event of Default which is not cured within any applicable cure period, Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender to assemble and to liquidate Borrower Collateral.

10.2 Survival of Agreement; Successors and Assigns.
(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Note is outstanding and unpaid or such longer period if expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party.

No other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall not have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Lender may in its sole discretion assign, pledge, hypothecate, transfer or participate all or any portion or interest it has in the Loan, this Agreement or the Loan Documents without Borrower’s consent. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender’s efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith which do not materially adversely affect Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents.

(c) NEITHER LENDER, BORROWER, NOR GUARANTOR SHALL BE LIABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES.
(d) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.3 SHALL REMAIN OPERATIVE AND IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT REGARDLESS OF THE EXPIRATION OF THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN, THE INVALIDITY OR

Texas, without regard to conflict of law provisions thereof.
10.5 No Waiver of Rights by Lender; Waiver of Jury Trial, etc.
(a) Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as prohibited by law, each party hereto hereby waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Each party hereto (i) certifies that neither any representative, agent or attorney of Lender has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Lender would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (ii) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this Agreement or the Loan Documents, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications herein.
(b) BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM OR ACTION IN ANY WAY, INVOLVING OR ARISING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.
10.6 Acknowledgments.
Borrower acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents;
(b) Lender does not have any fiduciary relationship with Borrower and the relationship between Lender, on one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c) no joint venture exists between Borrower and Lender.
10.7 Marshalling of Assets; Jurisdiction.
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY LENDER. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
- 38 -
(EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), BORROWER IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF DALLAS, COUNTY OF DALLAS AND STATE OF
TEXAS, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BORROWER FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY
TEXAS STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF DALLAS AND COUNTY OF DALLAS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED IN SECTION 10.1, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
10.8 Modification of Agreement.
No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no email correspondence of Lender shall in any event be interpreted as a modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
10.9 Prohibition on Transfers in Violation of ERISA.
In addition to the prohibitions set forth above, Borrower shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of its interest or rights in this Agreement or in the Property, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, nor shall any party owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower assign, sell, pledge, mortgage, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or interest (direct or indirect) in Borrower, attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, if such action would cause the Loan, or the exercise of any of Lender’s rights in connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise result in Lender being deemed in violation of any applicable provision of ERISA. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender free and harmless from and against all losses, costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), taxes, damages (including consequential damages) and expenses Lender may suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary or desirable in Lender’s sole judgment or by reason of a breach of the foregoing prohibitions. The foregoing indemnification shall be a recourse obligation of Borrower and shall survive repayment of the Note, notwithstanding any limitations on recourse contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents.
- 39 -
10.10 Reinstatement; Certain Payments.
If a claim is ever made upon Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Lender in payment or on account of any of the obligations under this Agreement, Lender shall give prompt notice of such claim to Borrower, and if Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Lender or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Lender with any such claimant, entered into after consultation with Borrower, then and in such event Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Borrower notwithstanding the cancellation of the Note or other instrument evidencing the obligations under this Agreement or the termination of this Agreement, and Borrower shall be and remain liable to Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Lender.
10.11 Right of Setoff.
In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by law, Lender is hereby authorized, following an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any monies held by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now and hereafter existing under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents held by Lender, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents and although such obligations may be in any currency, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured. Lender agrees to promptly notify Borrower after any such setoff and application made by Lender, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies which Lender may have.
10.12 Lender’s Consent.
Wherever in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents there is a requirement for Lender’s consent or a document to be provided or an action taken “to the satisfaction of Lender”, it is understood by such phrase that, except as expressly modified herein, Lender shall exercise its consent, right or judgment in its sole and absolute discretion.
10.13 Time of the Essence.
Borrower agrees that time is of the essence under this Agreement.
10.14 Severability.
In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in the Note should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
10.15 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument.
10.16 Entire Agreement; Cumulative Remedies.
- 40 -
(a) This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto as to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any previous agreement, oral or written, as to such subject matter.
(b) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
10.17 Captions and Headings.
The captions and headings of various Articles, Sections, and subsections of this Agreement and Exhibits and Schedules pertaining hereto are for convenience only and are not to be considered as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.
10.18 Recitals, Exhibits, and Schedules.
The Preambles and all other Recitals set forth herein are made a part hereof by this reference. Exhibits A through C and Schedules 3.13, 5.3(a), and 5.3(b) shall constitute an integral part of this Agreement.
10.19 Definitions Include Amendments.
Definitions contained in this Agreement which identify documents, including, but not limited to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of Lender. Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to this Agreement.
10.20 Waiver of Damages.
In no event shall Lender be liable to Borrower for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower for itself and all Loan Parties waives all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.
10.21 Claims Against Lender.
Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within one (1) month after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set‑off or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender’s ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrower with regard to the Loan. No Guarantor is intended to have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 10.21.
10.22 Cross Default and Cross Collateral.
- 41 -
In furtherance of prior provisions hereof, Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the occurrence of an Event of Default under the terms of this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Note, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents and under the documents evidencing any other loan now existing or hereafter made by Lender to Borrower or any of its Affiliates whether or not such loan is secured by all or any portion of the Property. The security interests, liens and other rights and interests in and relative to any of Borrower Collateral now or hereafter granted to Lender by Borrower or its Affiliates by or in any instrument or agreement, including but not limited to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall serve as security for any and all liabilities of Borrower and/or its Affiliates to Lender, including but not limited to the liabilities described in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents and, for the repayment thereof, Lender may resort to any security held by it in such order and manner as it may elect.
10.23 Joint and Several.
The promises and agreements herein shall be construed to be and are hereby declared to be the joint and several promises and agreements of each and every Borrower and shall be fully binding upon and enforceable against each and every Borrower. Lender may at its option enforce this Loan Agreement against one or all of Borrowers. Lender shall not be required to resort to enforcement against all Borrowers and the failure to proceed against or join any Borrower shall not affect the liability of the other Borrowers or their joint and several liability if enforcement is sought against more than one Borrower.
10.24 NO ORAL AGREEMENTS.
THIS WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
