Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

This Note amends, restates and renews that certain Promissory Note dated October 12, 2016 in the face amount of $17,062,500.00 (the “Original Note”), given by Borrower and payable to Bank, as modified by that certain Loan Modification Agreement dated August 30, 2019.

1. Covenant to Pay

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, without grace, except as expressly provided for herein and in the Loan Agreement, Borrower does hereby covenant and promise to pay to the order of Bank, at Bank’s office at 7815 N.W. 148th Street, Miami Lakes, Florida 33016, or at such other place as Bank may designate to Borrower in writing from time to time, in legal tender of the United States, the principal amount of $14,490,820.43 or so much thereof as shall be outstanding from time to time (the “Principal Balance”), together with interest on the unpaid portion of said Principal Balance at the Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined), from the date of this Note until the Principal Balance and all interest accrued thereon shall be fully paid. The period from the date hereof through and including the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) is hereinafter referred to as the “Term.”


2. Interest Rate

The unpaid Principal Balance of this Note from day to day outstanding which is not past due, shall bear interest on a variable rate basis, at the rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate (as defined in the Interest Rate addendum attached to this Note), as may be adjusted from time to time, one or more times, with interest being assessed on the unpaid Principal outstanding from time to time.

3. Calculation of Interest

Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding with no adjustment to period end dates.

4. Payment of Indebtedness

From and after the date hereof, interest on the Principal Balance shall accrue at the Interest Rate (as defined in the Addendum attached to this Note) and be payable as hereinafter provided:

a. On the first Interest Payment Date and each Interest Payment Date thereafter to but excluding the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank accrued interest on the Principal Balance. In addition to the monthly payments of interest required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date and on each


Interest Payment Date thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank principal in the amount set forth in Schedule 1 attached to this Note. “Interest Payment Date” means September 15, 2023 and each date that is on the 15th day in each calendar month thereafter until and including July 15, 2028; provided that, if any such date would be a day other than a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day would fall after the Maturity Date, in which event such date shall be the Maturity Date.

b. The entire unpaid Principal Balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other Debt (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be due and payable on August 16, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”). If any Debt is repaid on any date other than on an Interest Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay interest to and excluding the date of repayment.

5. Prepayment

(a) Provided no Event of Default then exists, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Principal Balance, in whole, or in part without penalty or cost, upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) to Bank specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”) and the amount of any such prepayment (the “Prepayment Amount”). On the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay (i) the Prepayment Amount, (ii) interest accrued and unpaid on the Prepayment Amount to and including the last day of the month in which the Prepayment Date occurs, (iii) in the event the Prepayment Amount equals the entire outstanding Principal Balance, all other unpaid.

(b) If any Prepayment Notice is given, the entire Prepayment Amount specified therein (together with the applicable Prepayment Premium and all other sums referred to above) shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date set forth therein; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to rescind any Prepayment Notice by written notice to Bank delivered at any time on or prior to the Prepayment Date, in which event Borrower shall no obligation to make any prepayment or any other obligation or liability with respect to such rescinded Prepayment Notice, other than for the reimbursement of the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses paid or incurred by Bank in connection with the anticipated prepayment described in such Prepayment Notice, which amounts shall be reimbursed to Bank promptly following demand therefor.


(c) Any partial prepayment made hereunder shall be applied first against any unpaid interest accrued or accruing at the Involuntary Rate, then to unpaid interest accrued or accruing at the Interest Rate, then to any amounts (other than principal) due and owing by Borrower to the Bank pursuant to the Loan Documents, and then against the Principal Balance in inverse order of maturity (i.e., so as to reduce the final payments of principal due and owing hereunder and not result in any reduction in or deferment of the monthly payments of principal due and owing hereunder).

(d) Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all fees, costs and expenses incurred as a result of the termination of any Secured Swap Agreement or any portion thereof prior to maturity.

6. Waivers

Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally, unconditionally and irrevocably (i) waives presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, (ii) agrees to pay all reasonable out of pocket costs of collection when incurred by Bank, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (which costs may be added to the amount due under this Note and be receivable therewith) and (iii) agrees to perform and comply, with each of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents on the part of Borrower to be observed or performed.


7. No Release

No (a) release by Bank of any portion of the Premises (as defined in the Mortgage) or any other collateral being held as security for the payment by Borrower of the Debt, (b) granting by Bank of an extension of time for payment of this Note, or any installment thereof, or (c) alteration, amendment or waiver of any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Note or any Loan Document shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the liability of Borrower under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, except, with respect to (c) above, as expressly provided in such amendment to this Note or other Loan Document. The right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demand on this Note, or any guaranty hereof, or any agreement to pay the same, or any demand secured by the Mortgage, or any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or in connection with this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, is expressly waived by Borrower, and any endorsers and/or guarantors of this Note, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. Writings

This Note may not be waived, changed, modified or discharged orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

9. Event of Default

It is hereby expressly agreed that the entire Debt shall, without notice (except as may be provided herein, in the Loan Agreement or in the Mortgage), become immediately due and payable at the option of Bank exercised upon any Event of Default and, in such event, the Mortgage may be foreclosed in accordance the terms thereof. All of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents which are to be kept and performed by Borrower are


hereby made part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth in this Note. Failure to exercise such option or any other rights Bank may, in the event of any such Event of Default, be entitled to, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such option or any other rights in the event of any subsequent Event of Default, whether of the same or different nature.

10. Late Charge

If any sum payable under this Note (but excluding, however, the final installment of the outstanding Principal Balance due on the Maturity Date) is not paid within 10 days of its due date, Borrower shall pay upon demand a late payment charge (“Late Charge”) in the amount of 5.00% of such unpaid sum to defray the expenses incurred by Bank in handling and processing such delinquent payment, and such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of the due date on which such sums are due and payable.

11. Involuntary Rate

In addition to any Late Charge which may be due under this Note, if the Debt is declared immediately due and payable by Bank pursuant to the provisions of this Note or any of the Loan Documents, or if any installment of principal or interest is not paid when due, or if the Debt is not paid in full on the Maturity Date, or if any other Event of Default shall have occurred, Borrower shall thereafter pay interest on the past due amount of principal or interest, or with respect to the acceleration of the Debt or an Event of Default, the outstanding Principal Balance, from the date of any of such events, as the case may be, until the date the installment of interest or principal is paid, the Debt is paid in full, or until such Event of Default is cured, at a per annum rate (the “Involuntary Rate”) equal to the lesser of (x) the then applicable Interest Rate plus 5.00% or (y) the Maximum Rate, as defined below.


12. Maximum Rate

In the event the interest provisions or any exactions provided for herein or in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents shall result, because of the monthly reduction of principal or for any other reason, at any time during the Term in an effective rate of interest which, for any month, transcends the limit of the usury or any other law applicable to the Loan (the “Maximum Rate”), all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or notice between or by any party hereto, be applied in reduction of the Principal Balance immediately upon receipt of such moneys by Bank with the same force and effect as though Borrower had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to reduction of the Principal Balance and Bank had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. In no event shall any agreed to or actual exaction as consideration for the Loan transcend the limits imposed or provided by the law applicable to this transaction or Borrower.

13. Application of Payments

If at any time Bank receives from Borrower a payment or a mandatory prepayment in an amount that is less than all amounts then due, Bank may apply that payment or prepayment (i) first, to interest accruing at the Involuntary Rate, (ii) then to interest accruing at the Interest Rate, (iii) then to any amounts (other than principal) then due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (iv) then to the outstanding Principal Balance. Borrower agrees that neither Bank’s acceptance of a payment or prepayment from Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts then due, nor Bank’s application of such payment or a mandatory prepayment in the manner authorized in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be deemed to constitute either a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.


14. Notices

All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications which are required or permitted to be given under this Note shall be sufficiently given when given as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

15. Applicable Law

This Note shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without reference to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower hereby agrees to submit to personal jurisdiction in all state and federal courts located in the State Florida and County of Pinellas in any action or proceeding relating to this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents.

16. Waiver of Trial By Jury

Borrower, and by acceptance hereof, Bank, each hereby knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents.

The rights of Bank and its respective Affiliates under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Bank or its respective Affiliates may have.
