“(e)Intentionally Omitted.”

(e)Section 2.7 of the Original Loan Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following as a new clause (f):

Borrower shall have caused, during the immediately preceding Sales Hurdle Period, the sale of Residential Units or the Retail Unit (i.e., fee title to such Condominium Units shall have been conveyed to the applicable Residential Unit Purchasers or the purchaser of the Retail Unit) in accordance with this Agreement such that proceeds applied pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.7 result in an amount of at least $7,500,000.00 (the “Sales Hurdle Threshold Amount”) to be applied towards the repayment of the Loan (the “Quarterly Sales Hurdle”).

“Section 2.10   Reserve Account.  The Carry Cost Reserve Account and PIK Interest Reserve Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender.  All interest earned on the Carry Cost Reserve Account and PIK Interest Reserve Account shall be allocated to Borrower for income tax purposes, but it shall be added to and disbursed as a part of the Carry Cost Reserve or PIK Interest Reserve Account, as applicable.  Borrower hereby assigns and grants Lender a security interest in (x) the Carry Cost Reserve funds in the Carry Cost Reserve Account and (y) the PIK Interest Reserve Funds in the PIK Interest Reserve Account, as security for payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.  All (x) Carry Cost Reserve funds in the Carry Cost Reserve Account and (y) PIK Interest Reserve Funds in the PIK Interest Reserve Account, shall be additional security for the Loan, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be authorized to apply such funds to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents in such order and priority as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.”

​

(g)The Original Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Section 2.13 therein:

“Section 2.13 PIK Interest Reserve.

(b)Disbursements from PIK Interest Reserve Account. Subject to Section 2.3(b), provided no Event of Default is continuing, commencing on the Payment Date occurring on December 1, 2022 and on any Payment Date thereafter, Lender shall, if requested by Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to a Payment Date (which request may be made by email without the need to provide the request via another delivery method), disburse PIK Interest Reserve Funds in an amount (except as otherwise set forth below) not to exceed Three Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($335,000.00) (the “Monthly PIK Interest Reserve Funds Maximum Amount”), solely to the extent, and in the amount, that the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid PIK Interest (but not Additional Contingency Unused Fee) during the Interest Period immediately preceding such Payment Date exceeds the PIK Balance Trigger (a “PIK Interest Balance Trigger Shortfall”) and Borrower would otherwise be required to make a cash payment of such PIK Interest Balance Trigger Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.3(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to carry-over to any future Payment Date in which a PIK Interest Balance Trigger Shortfall exists, the aggregate amount of any PIK Interest Reserve Funds that were not disbursed on a Payment Date (“Excess PIK Interest Reserve Funds”), and Borrower shall be permitted to request Excess PIK Interest Reserve Funds to cover one or more PIK Balance Trigger Shortfalls.

(c)For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount drawn from the PIK Interest Reserve Account at any given time exceed the product of (i) the Monthly PIK Interest Reserve Funds Maximum Amount and (ii) the number of months elapsed from the Amendment Execution Date. A schedule of the permitted aggregate drawdowns is depicted on Exhibit B attached hereto.

(d)Borrower agrees and acknowledges that neither the insufficiency of the amount of, nor the unavailability of, the PIK Interest Reserve Funds is intended to, and shall therefore not, constitute a limitation on the obligation of Borrower to pay the monthly installments of interest and/or PIK Interest as and when required under this Agreement.  Upon full payment of the Indebtedness in

​

accordance with the Loan Documents, the balance of the PIK Interest Reserve Funds then in Lender’s possession, if any, shall be paid over to Borrower.”

“Section 3.11 Balancing; Loan Reserve.   If at any time during the term of the Loan, Lender reasonably determines that the Loan is Out of Balance (taking into account any Interest Rate Protection Agreements in place, amounts remaining in the Contingency Line Item  available for the Project on a percentage complete basis and Available Cost Savings), Borrower shall, prior to any further Disbursements to Borrower being made by Lender, make an additional Equity Deposit in an amount sufficient to bring the Loan “in balance” for deposit into the Loan Reserve within twenty (20) Business Days following demand from Lender.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) it is expressly understood and agreed that Borrower shall cause the Loan to be “in balance” at all times, and (ii) Lender shall not be obligated to make any Disbursements to Borrower if the Loan is Out of Balance.  The Loan shall be deemed “Out of Balance” if the ratio, expressed as a percent, of (a) the sum (without duplication) of (i) the remaining costs to achieve Final Completion of the Construction Work (other than such SCA Additional Construction Items and SCA Pre- and Post-Turnover Work that Borrower is not required to complete as a result of a default of the SCA pursuant to the terms of the School Unit Purchase Agreement) and SCA Fit-Out Impacted Work in accordance with the School Unit Purchase Agreement, (ii) estimated cash interest under the Loan at the Contract Rate and the Additional Contingency Unused Fee required to be paid through the earlier of the date Lender reasonably projects that the Loan will be repaid (taking into account available PIK Interest and accrual of the Additional Contingency Unused Fee up to the PIK Balance Trigger in accordance with this Agreement at the time of calculation), (iii) pending and/or disputed Change Orders, each as reasonably determined by Lender (provided that Lender shall not determine that the Loan is Out of Balance solely based on the voided and disputed Change Orders set forth on Sections III and IV, respectively, of Schedule C attached hereto as of the date hereof, unless it receives new information from and after the Closing Date that would reasonably be expected to alter the amount or status of any such disputed Change Orders, including final resolution with respect thereto), (iv) estimated Carry Costs required to be paid through the date Lender reasonably projects all Residential Units will be sold, (v) amounts required to be escrowed under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the sale of Residential Units in order to obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy with respect to the Project (to the extent such amounts are not reasonably expected to be funded using Purchase Agreement Deposits), and (vi) estimated costs and expenses for the payment of leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances and tenant improvement work with respect to the Retail Unit, to (b) the sum (without duplication) of (i) the unfunded portion of the Building Loan and the Project Loan, (ii) the Equity Deposits, if any, then held by Lender, (iii) the Carry Cost

The unfunded portions of the Building Loan and the Project Loan will include the required Contingency, as reasonably determined by Lender based upon the then current percent of completion, and Available Cost Savings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.4(e) or this Section 3.11, the Loan shall not be deemed to be Out of Balance due to the fact that a default by SCA under the School Unit Purchase Agreement shall have occurred which continues after the giving of any applicable notice and expiration of the applicable cure period, SCA shall have failed to fund any School Cost Payments when required under the terms of the School Unit Purchase Agreement or Lender has reasonably determined under Section 3.4(e)(y) that certain School Cost Payments will not be funded by SCA, in any such case, so long as Borrower or SCA thereafter funds each School Cost Payment on or prior to the later to occur of (x) the date upon which such School Cost Payment would have been payable by SCA under the School Unit Purchase Agreement if not for such default by SCA, failure to fund by SCA or determination by Lender or (y) the date upon which Borrower is required to make such payment pursuant Section 3.4(e)(y).

(a)Effective on the execution of this Amendment, Borrower and Guarantor, on their own behalf and on behalf of each of their respective past, present and future predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, parent entities, assigns, shareholders, partners, members, owners, other principals, affiliates, managers, and, with respect to Borrower and Guarantor and each of the other foregoing entities and individuals, each of their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, and past and present shareholders, partners, members, owners, other principals, affiliates, managers, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, agents, other representatives, insurers and any other individuals and entities claiming or acting by, through, under or in concert with Borrower or Guarantor (collectively, the “Borrower Party Releasors”), hereby fully and forever release, relinquish, discharge and acquit Lender and its respective past, present, and future predecessors, successors, subsidiaries, parent entities, assigns, participants, shareholders, partners, members, owners, other principals, affiliates, managers, and, with respect to each of the foregoing entities and individuals, each of their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, participants and past and present shareholders, partners, members, owners, other principals, affiliates, managers, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, agents, other representatives, insurers and any other individuals and/or entities claiming or acting by, through, under or in concert with each such entity or individual (collectively, the “Lender Party Releasees”), of and from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, duties, liabilities, damages (including, without limitation, special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages), expenses, claims of offset, indebtedness, debts, breaches of contract, duty or relationship, acts, omissions, misfeasance, malfeasance, causes of action, sums of money, accounts, compensation, contracts, controversies, promises, damages, costs, losses and remedies therefor, choses in action, rights of indemnity or liability of any type, kind, nature, description or character whatsoever, arising, directly or indirectly, in any manner from and/or out of (i) the Loan, the Loan Documents and/or the Premises, (ii) Lender’s acts, statements, conduct, representations and omissions made in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the disbursement of funds or any election of Lender to refrain from any such disbursements, and the negotiation of this Amendment, and (iii) any fact, matter, transaction or event relating thereto, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, whether now existing or hereafter arising, which could, might or may be claimed to exist, whether liquidated or unliquidated, each though fully set forth herein at length; provided, however, that the foregoing release, relinquishment, discharge and acquittal shall not apply to any future breach of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of any of the Lender Party Releasees that are expressly set forth in this Amendment or to any other matters first arising after the Amendment Execution Date.

(b)With respect to the claims released pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, Borrower Party Releasors hereby waive the provisions of any applicable laws restricting the release of claims which the releasing parties do not know or suspect to exist at the time of release, which, if known, would have materially affected the decision to agree to these releases.  In this connection, Borrower Party Releasors hereby agree, represent and warrant to Lender that

​

they realize and acknowledge that factual matters now unknown may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and Borrower Party Releasors further agree, represent and warrant that the releases provided herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that, to the extent set forth in Section 11(a) hereof, Borrower Party Releasors nevertheless hereby intend to release, discharge and acquit the parties set forth hereinabove from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are in any manner set forth in or related to the Loan and all dealings in connection therewith.

(c)Borrower Party Releasors hereby acknowledge that they have not relied upon any representation of any kind made by Lender or any Affiliate of Lender in making the foregoing release.

(d)Borrower Party Releasors represent and warrant to Lender that they have not heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or to transfer, to any person or entity any matter released by such party hereunder or any portion thereof or interest therein, and each Borrower Party Releasor agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold each of the Lender Party Releasees harmless from and against any and all claims based on or arising out of any such assignment or transfer or purported assignment or transfer by such party.

12.Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is to be deemed original for all purposes, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

13.Exculpation.  Section 13.1 of the Original Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated in this Amendment by reference.

14.Incorporation by Reference.  To the extent that any provisions or defined terms contained in any other Loan Document are used herein or incorporated herein by reference, and such other Loan Document is terminated or otherwise satisfied prior to the termination of this Agreement, then, for the avoidance of doubt, such provisions and/or defined terms shall survive until the payment in full of all of the Obligations under each Loan Document without regard to the fact that the Loan Document originally containing the same has been otherwise terminated or satisfied.

15.Miscellaneous.  The headings used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in interpreting the substantive provisions of this Amendment.  Time is of the essence of each term of the Loan Documents, including this Amendment. If any provision of this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed from this Amendment and the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable portion had never been a part thereof.  The Loan Documents (as modified by this Amendment), including this Amendment, contain or expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters contemplated therein and supersede all prior negotiations or agreements, written or oral.  The Loan Documents (as modified by this Amendment) shall not be modified except by written instrument executed by all

​

parties. Any future reference to the Loan Documents shall include any amendments, renewals or extensions now or hereafter approved by Lender in writing.

16.GOVERNING LAW.  Section 14.19 of the Original Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated in this Amendment by reference.

17.TRIAL BY JURY.  Section 14.18 of the Original Loan is hereby incorporated in this Amendment by reference.
