NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of (i) the facts set forth hereinabove (which are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement), (ii) the agreements by Lender to modify the Loan Documents, as provided herein, (iii) the covenants and agreements contained herein, and (iv) for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Note. Section 2.4(b) of the Note is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(b) On April 1, 2013 and on the first day of each month thereafter, principal payments of $4,560 each shall be due and payable until the principal balance of the Loan is $2,230,000 or less; thereafter, there shall be no monthly principal payments hereunder.”


2. Loan Agreement.

2.1 The definition of “Guaranty” in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Guaranty” shall mean (i) that certain Guaranty of Recourse Obligations dated December 27, 2012 from Guarantor for the benefit of Lender, (ii) that certain Guaranty of Payment dated December 27, 2012 from the REIT and Managing Member for the benefit of Lender, and (iii) that certain Guaranty of Payment, dated March 20,2013 from Douglas D.

2.2 Section 4.1.17 of the Loan Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“4.1.17 REIT Accounts. Borrower shall cause the REIT and the Managing Member to establish and maintain deposit accounts with Lender and cause all capital contributions due the REIT and the Managing Member or received by the REIT and the Managing Member to be deposited therein (the “Capital Accounts”). Unless or until the principal balance of the Loan is reduced to $2,230,000 or less (and no Default or Event of Default shall then exist), neither the Managing Member nor the REIT shall have any further access to the Capital Accounts or any funds on deposit therein without Lender’s prior written consent, and following an Event of Default Lender may setoff all funds on deposit therein. On each June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31, until the principal balance of the Loan is reduced to $2,230,000 or less, all funds on deposit in the Capital Accounts shall be applied by Lender to reduce the principal balance of the Loan. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in any Loan Document, from and after the time that the principal balance of the Loan is reduced to $2,230,000 or less (provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Lender shall have no further rights with respect to the Capital Accounts, including without limitation setoff rights or otherwise, and the Capital Account shall thereafter expressly not constitute an “Account” under Section 6.1 of this Loan Agreement, under Section 1.1(o) of the Deed of Trust, or under any other provision of any Loan Document which may grant a security interest therein.”

2.3 Sections 6.3 and 6.5 of the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted.

2.4 Section 6.7.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“6.7.1 Order of Priority of Funds in Deposit Account. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, on each Monthly Payment Date during the Term, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all funds on deposit in the Deposit Account shall be applied on such Monthly Payment Date in the following order of priority: (i) First, to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment; (ii) Second, to pay management fees then due

 

2


under the Management Agreement; and (iii) Lastly, provided no Sweep Event has occurred and is continuing, payments to Borrower of any excess amounts. In addition, on each June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31, during the term of a Sweep Event under Section 6.8(c), all remaining cash on deposit in the Deposit Account in excess of $3,000 shall be applied on account of the principal balance of the Loan. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply funds in the Deposit Account from time to time on account of the obligations in such order as it may determine.”

2.5 Section 6.8 of the Loan Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Section 6.8 Sweep Event

Each of the following shall constitute a “Sweep Event”:

(a) the occurrence of an Event of Default;

(b) if the Imputed Debt Service Coverage Ratio in Section 4.1.16 is not satisfied and Borrower has failed to make the required deposit into the Deposit Account or delivered a letter of credit to Lender as described therein; and

(c) a Sweep Event shall be deemed to exist as of the date of this Agreement.

The Sweep Event described in clause (a) shall terminate only upon the payment in full of the Obligations. The Sweep Event described in clause (b) shall terminate, as applicable, once the Imputed Debt Service Coverage Ratio has been satisfied for a fiscal quarter without taking into account such deposit or Letter of Credit, provided no other Defaults or Events of Default then exist. The Sweep Event described in clause (c) shall terminate once the principal balance of the Loan is $2,230,000 or less, provided no other Default or Event of Default shall then exist.”

3. Representations and Warranties of Borrower. Borrower and each Guarantor hereby represent, covenant and warrant to Lender as follows:

(a) The representations and warranties in the Note, the Mortgage, the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof.

(b) After giving effect to this Agreement there shall be no Event of Default under the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents and there is no event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or passing of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Note, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.

(c) The Loan Documents are in full force and effect and, following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, they continue to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and such Guarantor enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to limitations imposed by general principles of equity.

(d) There has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower or such Guarantor since the date of the most recent financial statement received by Lender.

(e) Neither Borrower nor such Guarantor has any claims, counterclaims, defenses, or set-offs with respect to the Loan or the Loan Documents as modified herein.

Each of the parties to this Agreement represents that it has been advised by its respective counsel of the legal and practical effect of this Agreement, and recognizes that it is executing and delivering this Agreement, intending thereby to be legally bound by the terms and provisions thereof, of its own free will, without promises or threats or the exertion of duress upon it. The signatories hereto state that they have read and understand this Agreement, that they intend to be legally bound by it and that they expressly warrant and represent that they are duly authorized and empowered to execute it.

The paragraph and section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not limit the substantive provisions hereof. All words herein which are expressed in the neuter gender shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine and neuter genders.

affiliates have any claim or cause of action against Lender (or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) and (b) Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of their obligations to Borrower and each Guarantor under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender wishes (and Borrower and each Guarantor agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Lender’s rights, interests, security and/or remedies under the Loan Documents. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, Borrower and each Guarantor (for themselves and their affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge Lender and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has now or heretofore had, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done on or prior to the date hereof arising out of, connected with or related in any way to the Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of Borrower, or the making of the Loan or other advance, or the management of the Loan or advance or any security for the Loan.
