Item 2.03.

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

On June 30, 2020, Riverbend Orlando Holdings III, LLC (“Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc. (“Griffin” or “Registrant”), entered into a $5.1 million nonrecourse mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) on the approximately 108,000 square foot fully-leased industrial/warehouse building (the “Building”) in Orlando, Florida that the Borrower acquired in February 2020 (such acquired property, the “Property”). The Mortgage Loan, evidenced by a Promissory Note issued by the Borrower to Webster Bank, National Association (“Webster Bank”), has a ten-year term with principal payments based on a twenty-five-year amortization schedule and a variable interest rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.56%. Upon closing the Mortgage Loan, the Borrower entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Webster Bank that effectively fixes the interest rate on the Mortgage Loan at 3.50% for the entire loan term. $4.1 million of the proceeds from the Mortgage Loan were used to repay Webster Bank for the borrowing under Griffin’s line of credit for acquisitions that was used to finance a portion of the Property’s purchase price.

Under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Borrower must maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio (the “DSCR”), calculated by dividing the trailing twelve months net operating income of the Building by the debt service on the Mortgage Loan for the DSCR test period, as further described under the terms of the Mortgage Loan, equal to or greater than 1.25 times, and the Loan to Value Ratio (as defined and further described under the Mortgage Loan) may not exceed 65%. The terms of the Mortgage Loan require that commencing on January 1, 2024, an annual amount equal to a total of $1.00 per square foot shall be deposited by the Borrower into an escrow account with Webster Bank until such escrow account balance reaches $300,000. Subject to certain terms and conditions under the Mortgage Loan, (i) the funds in the escrow account may be released by Webster Bank upon extension of the Building’s existing lease, or entry into any other Approved Lease (as defined and further described under the Mortgage Loan) on terms and conditions acceptable to Mortgagee, in each case for a term that runs for a minimum of one year beyond the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) a portion of the funds in the escrow account may be released by Webster Bank for tenant improvements and lease commissions related to Approved Leases.

On June 30, 2020, Griffin and Webster Bank entered into a letter agreement (the “Side Note”) amending the $19.5 million Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2013 (as amended prior to such date, the “Line of Credit”) between Griffin and Webster Bank. Under the terms of the Side Note, an amount equal to one year’s debt service on the Mortgage Loan will be carved out and not available to be borrowed (the “Holdback”) under the Line of Credit. If the debt service is not paid on the Mortgage Loan, Webster Bank would be able to advance funds from the Line of Credit as needed to make monthly payments of debt service under the Mortgage Loan. The provisions regarding the Holdback will expire on September 30, 2021, being the maturity date of the Line of Credit; provided, that, any extension to the maturity date of the Line of Credit would not apply to the Holdback.

The foregoing descriptions of the Mortgage Loan, Promissory Note and Side Note are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Mortgage Loan, Promissory Note and Side Note, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, each incorporated herein by reference.

3.2.bSecured Party may, without notice except as hereinafter provided, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale (with or without appraisal or having the Collateral at the place of sale) for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Secured Party may reasonably deem best, and Secured Party may be the purchaser of any and all of the Collateral so sold and may apply upon the purchase price therefor any of the Debt and thereafter hold the same absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind other than Permitted Encumbrances. Upon any such sale, Secured Party shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale and any purchaser at foreclosure shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which Debtor has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted other than Permitted Encumbrances. To the extent notice is required by applicable law, Secured Party shall give Debtor written notice at the address set forth herein (which shall satisfy any requirement of notice or reasonable notice in any applicable statute) of Secured Party's intention to make any such public or private sale. Such notice (if any is required by applicable law) shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, as required by law and in any event at least ten (10) calendar days before the date fixed for a public sale, or at least (10) calendar days before the date after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the Collateral is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value. Such notice (if any is required by applicable law), in case of public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale or, in case of private sale or other disposition other than a public sale, the time after which the private sale or other such disposition is to be made. Any public sale shall be held at such time or times, within the ordinary business hours and at such place or places, as Secured Party may fix in the

10


notice of such sale. At any sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels as Secured Party may determine. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such notice. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at any time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Secured Party shall incur no liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold, and in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Each and every method of disposition described in this Section shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Obligor, to the extent applicable, shall remain liable for any deficiency.

3.2.cSecured Party shall have all the rights of a secured party after default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC otherwise applies to the affected Collateral) and in conjunction with, in addition to or in substitution for those rights and remedies:

(i)Secured Party may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available at a place Secured Party designates which is mutually convenient to allow Secured Party to take possession or dispose of the Collateral; and

(ii)it shall not be necessary that Secured Party take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof before the time that any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Article is conducted and it shall not be necessary that the Collateral or any part thereof be present at the location of such sale; and

(iii)before application of proceeds of disposition of the Collateral to the Debt, such proceeds shall be applied to the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling, leasing and the like and the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by Secured Party, each Obligor, to the extent applicable, to remain liable for any deficiency; and

(iv)the sale by Secured Party of less than the whole of the Collateral shall not exhaust the rights of Secured Party hereunder, and Secured Party is specifically empowered to make successive sale or sales hereunder until the whole of the Collateral shall be sold; and, if the proceeds of such sale of less than the whole of the Collateral shall be less than the aggregate of the indebtedness secured hereby, this Mortgage and the security interest created hereby shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral just as though no sale had been made; and

(v)in the event any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Secured Party, such sale shall not exhaust the rights of Secured Party hereunder and Secured Party shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made hereunder; and

11


(vi)any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale hereunder as to nonpayment of any indebtedness or as to the occurrence of any default, or as to Secured Party having declared all of such indebtedness to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and the Collateral to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Secured Party, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited; and

(vii) Secured Party may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Secured Party, including the sending of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Secured Party; and

(viii) demand of performance, advertisement and presence of property at sale are hereby WAIVED and Secured Party is hereby authorized to sell hereunder any evidence of debt it may hold as security for the secured indebtedness. All demands and presentments of any kind or nature are expressly WAIVED by Debtor. Debtor WAIVES the right to require Secured Party to pursue any other remedy for the benefit of Debtor and agrees that Secured Party may proceed against any Obligor for the amount of the Debt owed to Secured Party or such liability of such Obligor if less than the Debt without taking any action against any other Obligor or any other person or entity and without selling or otherwise proceeding against or applying any of the Collateral in Secured Party's possession.

Section 3.3UCC Rights Are Not Exclusive. It is the express understanding and intent of the parties that as to any personal property interests subject to Chapter 9 of the UCC of Florida, Secured Party, during the continuance of an Event of Default, may proceed under such UCC of Florida or may proceed as to both real and personal property interests in accordance with the provisions of this Mortgage and its rights and remedies in respect to real property, as permitted under Florida law, and treat both real and personal property interests as one parcel or package of security. Should Secured Party elect to exercise its rights under the UCC as to part of the personal property or fixtures described in this Mortgage, such election shall not preclude Secured Party from exercising any or all of the rights and remedies granted by other applicable law or the other Articles of this Mortgage as to the remaining personal property or fixtures.

Section 3.4No Other Financing Statements on the Collateral. So long as any amount remains unpaid on the Debt, Debtor will not execute and there will not be filed in any public office any financing statements affecting the Collateral other than financing statements in favor of Secured Party under this Mortgage, unless prior written specific consent and approval of Secured Party shall have been first obtained.

Section 3.5Secured Party May File Financing and Continuation Statements. Secured Party is authorized to file this Mortgage as a financing statement, a separate financing statement or financing statements without the signature of Debtor and one or

12


more continuation statements in any jurisdiction where Secured Party reasonably deems it necessary, and Debtor will pay the costs of filing or recording them, in all such public offices at any time and from time to time whenever filing or recording of this Mortgage, any financing statement or any continuation statement is reasonably deemed by Secured Party or its counsel to be necessary or desirable.

Section 3.6Fixtures. Certain of the Collateral is, or will become, "fixtures" (as that term is defined in the UCC) related to the Real Property, and when this Mortgage is filed for record in the real estate records of the county where such fixtures are situated, it shall also automatically operate as a financing statement and fixture filing upon such of the Collateral which is, or may become, fixtures related to the Real Property. Pursuant to the UCC, the following information is set forth for the purpose of constituting this Mortgage a financing statement to be filed as a fixture filing:

Section 3.7Assignment of Non-UCC Personal Property. To the extent that any of the Collateral is not subject to the UCC of the state or states where it is situated or the Debtor deemed located under the UCC, to the extent the same is assignable by Debtor, Debtor hereby assigns to Secured Party all of Debtor's right, title and interest in the Collateral to secure the Debt. Release of the lien of this Mortgage on all of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, shall automatically terminate this assignment as to the Collateral or as to the portion so released.

Section 3.8Debtor's Warranties Concerning Collateral. Debtor warrants and represents to Secured Party that Debtor is the legal and equitable owner and, to

13


Mortgagor's knowledge, holder of the Collateral free of any adverse claim and free of any security interest or encumbrance except only for the security interest granted hereby in the Collateral and those other security interests (if any) expressly referred to or described in this Mortgage. Debtor agrees to defend the Collateral and its proceeds against all claims and demands of any person at any time claiming the Collateral, its proceeds or any interest in either other than Permitted Encumbrances. Debtor also warrants and represents that Debtor has not heretofore signed or authorized the filing of any financing statement directly or indirectly affecting the Collateral or any part of it which has not been completely terminated of record, and no such financing statement is now on file in any public office, except in each case, only those statements (if any) true and correct copies of which Debtor has actually delivered to Secured Party.

Section 3.9Certain Powers of Secured Party. Without limiting any other provision of any of the Loan Documents, Debtor hereby authorizes and directs each account debtor and each other person or entity obligated to make payment in respect of any of the Collateral (each a "Collateral Obligor") to pay over to Secured Party, its officers, agents or assigns, upon demand by Secured Party given after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any part of the Collateral without making any inquiries as to the status or balance of the Debt and without any notice to or further consent of Debtor. Debtor hereby releases each Collateral Obligor from all liability to Debtor related to or arising out of any payment it makes to Secured Party pursuant to this paragraph. To facilitate the rights of Secured Party hereunder, Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party, its officers, employees, agents or assigns, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:

3.9.ato notify Collateral Obligors of Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral and to collect all or any part of the Collateral without further notice to or further consent by Debtor, and Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party the true and lawful attorney of Debtor (such agency being coupled with an interest), irrevocably, with power of substitution, in the name of Debtor or in its own name or otherwise, to take any of the actions described in the following clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f);

3.9.bto ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any and all amounts which may be or become due or payable under the Collateral and to settle and/or adjust all disputes and/or claims in good faith directly with any Collateral Obligor and to compromise, extend the time for payment, arrange for payment in installments, otherwise modify the terms of, or release, any of the Collateral, on such terms and conditions as Secured Party may reasonably determine (without thereby incurring responsibility to or discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of Debtor to Secured Party under this Mortgage or otherwise);

3.9.cto direct delivery of, receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Debtor and to execute, sign, endorse, transfer and deliver (in the name of Debtor or in its own name or otherwise) any and all receipts or other orders for the payment of money drawn on the Collateral and all notes, acceptances, commercial

14


paper, drafts, checks, money orders and other instruments given in payment or in part payment thereof and all invoices, freight and express bills and bills of lading, storage receipts, warehouse receipts and other instruments and documents in respect of any of the Collateral and any other documents necessary to evidence, perfect and realize upon the security interests and obligations of this Mortgage;

3.9.din its reasonable discretion to file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in good faith which Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the rights, titles and interests of Secured Party hereunder;

3.9.eto sign the name of Debtor to drafts against Collateral Obligors, assignments or verifications of any of the Collateral and notices to Collateral Obligors; and

3.9.fto station one or more representatives of Secured Party on Debtor's premises for the purpose of exercising any rights, benefits or privileges available to Secured Party hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, including receiving collections and taking possession of books and records relating to the Collateral.

The powers conferred on Secured Party pursuant to this Section are conferred solely to protect Secured Party's interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty or obligation on Secured Party to perform any of the powers herein conferred. No exercise of any of the rights provided for in this Section shall constitute a retention of collateral in satisfaction of the indebtedness as provided for in the UCC.

By its acceptance of this Mortgage, Secured Party agrees that in the event Secured Party sends any notice to a Collateral Obligor to make payments to Secured Party after the occurrence of an Event of Default, as provided above, promptly after any such Event of Default is cured, Secured Party will send written notice to such Collateral Obligor to resume such making payments to Debtor instead of Secured Party.

Section 3.10Standard of Care. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as Debtor requests in writing, but failure of Secured Party to comply with such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of Secured Party to take any action not so requested by Debtor shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of any such Collateral.

Section 3.11Change Terms, Release Collateral. Secured Party may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, otherwise modify the terms of, or release, any of the Collateral, without thereby incurring responsibility to Debtor or discharging or otherwise affecting any liability of Debtor. Secured Party shall not be

15


required to take steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.

Section 3.12Security Agreement. This Mortgage constitutes, and shall be deemed to be, a "security agreement" for all purposes of the UCC and Mortgagee shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of a "secured party" under the UCC.

ARTICLE 4.

MORTGAGOR'S COVENANTS

Section 4.1Covenants for the Benefit of Mortgagee. To better secure the Debt, Mortgagor covenants and agrees with the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, with the intent that the Mortgagee may enforce these covenants, that:

4.1.aLiens, etc. and Remedies Cumulative. No lien, assignment, security interest, guaranty, right or remedy in favor of Mortgagee granted in, secured by or ancillary to this Mortgage shall be considered as exclusive, but each shall be cumulative of all others which Mortgagee may now or hereafter have.

4.1.bMortgagor Waives Marshalling of Assets and Sale in Inverse Order of Alienation Rights. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably waives all rights of marshalling of assets so as to require the separate sales of any portion of the Mortgaged Property or a specific portion thereof or sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property or any other security and Mortgagor consents and authorizes the sale of the Mortgaged Property as a single unit or parcel or as separate parcels. Notwithstanding the existence of interests in the Mortgaged Property other than that created by this Mortgage, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Mortgage, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right, in Mortgagee’s sole discretion, to determine the order in which the Mortgaged Property shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Mortgage and to determine the order in which all or any part of the Debt secured by this Mortgage is satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage or provided in any of the other Loan Documents. Mortgagor and any person who now has or hereafter acquires any interest in the Mortgaged Property with actual or constructive notice of this Mortgage waives any and all right to require a marshalling of assets or sale in inverse order of alienation in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies provided in this Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents or as otherwise provided by applicable law.

4.1.cMortgagor Will Correct Title Defects. If at any future time any defect (other than the Permitted Encumbrances or any other liens and security interests which are either granted or expressly permitted by this Mortgage or by any of the other Loan Documents) should be found to exist in the title to any of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor agrees to promptly commence and thereafter diligently proceed to cure the defect and to defend the title. If any lien or encumbrance (other than the Permitted

16


Encumbrances or other liens and security interests which are either granted or expressly permitted by this Mortgage or by any of the other Loan Documents) junior, equal or superior in rank or priority to the lien of this Mortgage should be discovered or arise at any time in the future then, unless Mortgagee is the only holder of it, or Mortgagee has given specific prior written consent to it, Mortgagor agrees to promptly discharge and remove it from the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee in writing within five (5) days of the time that Mortgagor has actual knowledge of the filing of any mortgage, lien, security interest, financing statement or other security device whatsoever against the Mortgaged Property.

4.1.dInsurance Requirements. The Mortgagor shall keep the Mortgaged Property insured for the benefit of the Mortgagee against loss or damage by fire and available extended coverage risks, as may be reasonably required by the Mortgagee from time to time, and provided coverage of not less than the coverage en­compassed by Fire, Extended Coverage, and Vandalism and Malicious Mischief perils broadened to include the so-called "All Risk of Physical Loss", all in a format approved by the Mortgagee and in sufficient amounts to prevent the application of any insurance policy co-insurance contribution on any loss and shall in no event be less than the full face amount of the Note. Policies shall be written on a Builder's Risk, Completed Value, non-reporting form which shall include coverage therein for "completion and/or Mortgaged Property occupancy" only if improvements being made to the Mortgaged Property are so substantial as to require such coverage in addition to Mortgagor’s extended coverage policy. All insurance herein provided for shall be obtained by the Mortgagor (notwith­standing the procurement of other insurance policies by other persons or parties and relating to the Mortgaged Property) and carried in companies approved by the Mortgagee, and all policies, including additional and renewal policies, marked “premiums paid” and containing an agreement by the insurer that the policy shall not be canceled or materially changed without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Mortgagee (ten (10) days for cancellation due to failure to pay premiums), the policy, or any duplicate original policy, shall be delivered to the Mortgagee, and all renewal policies, including additional and renewals, modifications and extensions thereof, shall be deposited with the Mortgagee throughout the life of the loan and shall be payable, in case of loss or damage, to the Mortgagee as the first mort­gagee, and shall contain the standard non-contributing mortgagee clause entitling the Mortgagee to collect all proceeds payable under all such insurance, as well as stand­ard waiver of subrogation endorsement, and waiver of other endorsements, as the Mortgagee may require, all to be in form acceptable to the Mortgagee. In the event of any loss, the Mortgagor will give immediate notice to the Mortgagee. The Mortgagor hereby authorizes the Mortgagee, at its option, to collect, adjust and compromise any losses under any of the insurance policies, to endorse the Mortgagor's name on any document or instrument in payment of any insured loss and, after deducting the costs of collection, to apply the proceeds, at the Mortgagee's sole option, as follows: (i) as a credit upon the indebtedness secured hereby, whether or not the same shall be then due and payable, in which event, the lien of this Mortgage shall be affected only by a reduction thereof in any amount equal to the amount so applied as a credit, or (ii) to repairing or restoring the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, in which event, the Mortgagee

17


shall not be obligated to see to the proper application thereof, nor shall the amount so released or used be deemed a payment on any indebtedness secured hereby. The Mortgagor shall obtain, carry and maintain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance covering the Mortgaged Property in an amount of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) bodily injury and/or property damage, per occurrence, and Demolition Insurance in the event that all buildings on the Mortgaged Property cannot always be automatically rebuilt to the same specifications, and in the same location in the case of all types of destruction, regardless of magnitude. Insurance shall be with companies approved by the Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall provide Mortgagee with a Certificate of Insurance containing a provision designating the Mortgagee as an additional insured party and providing for not less than thirty (30) days written notice (ten (10) days for cancellation due to failure to pay premiums) to the Mortgagee prior to any material change or cancellation of Liability Insurance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default is then existing, and further provided that Mortgagee is satisfied (in its commercially reasonable judgment) that there is no legal impediment to the building and improvements being rebuilt or repaired and that there are sufficient insurance proceeds or other funds available from Mortgagor for reconstruction, Mortgagee shall receive all insurance proceeds to be held to pay for the cost of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property in installments as the work progresses, the time and amount of each advance and upon such other terms relating to such reconstruction as are satisfactory to the Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion.

If the Real Property is located in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234) as being in a "special flood hazard area" or as having specific flood hazards, whether now or at any time hereafter, Mortgagor shall also furnish Mortgagee with flood insurance policies which conform to the requirements of said Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as either may be amended from time to time.  The amounts of any such insurance coverages shall be in an amount equal to the full insurable value and shall be maintained thereafter at all times in an amount such that Mortgagor will not be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws, regulations, policies or practices.  Renewals of such policies shall be so delivered before any such insurance shall expire in accordance with the Loan Documents.  If Mortgagor shall fail to provide any such insurance, or shall fail to replace any of the same within ten (10) days after being notified that the insuring company is no longer approved by Mortgagee, or if any such insurance is cancelled or lapses without replacement, Mortgagee may, at its option, procure the same in such amounts as Mortgagee may reasonably determine and the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the lesser of the Default Rate or the maximum interest rate allowed under Florida law, provided for in the Note per annum from the date of expenditure by Mortgagee to the date of repayment by Mortgagor to Mortgagee shall be repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand and shall be part of the Debt secured hereby.

4.1.hMortgagee May Elect to Insure Only its Own Interests. If Mortgagee elects at any time or for any reason to purchase insurance relating to the Mortgaged Property, it shall have no obligation to cause Mortgagor or anyone else to be named as an insured, to cause Mortgagor's or anyone else's interests to be insured or protected or to inform Mortgagor or anyone else that its interests are uninsured or underinsured.

4.1.iMortgagor Will Correct Defects, Provide Further Assurances and Papers. Upon Mortgagee's written request, Mortgagor will promptly correct any defect which hereafter may be discovered in the text (as is reasonably agreed to by Mortgagor and Mortgagee) or the execution or acknowledgment of the Note, this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or in the description of any of the Mortgaged Property, and will deliver such further assurances and execute such additional papers as in the opinion of Mortgagee or its legal counsel shall be reasonably necessary, proper or appropriate (1) to better convey and assign to the Mortgagee all the Mortgaged Property intended or promised to be conveyed or assigned or (2) to properly evidence or give notice of the Debt or its intended or promised security, provided that such requested further assurances and additional papers do not adversely alter the rights and obligations of Mortgagor that were intended to be provided under this Mortgage.

At Mortgagor's own cost and expense, Mortgagor agrees to pay and discharge all taxes, assessments, other governmental charges, water and sewer charges, maintenance charges, permit fees, impact fees, development fees, capital recovery charges, utility reservation and standby fees and all other similar and dissimilar impositions of every kind and character ("Impositions") charged, levied, assessed or imposed by any governmental agency or authority against any interest in any of the Mortgaged Property before they become delinquent. Upon request from Mortgagee, Mortgagor agrees to furnish due proof of such payment to Mortgagee promptly after payment and before delinquency.

Mortgagor shall have the right, without such consent, to remove and dispose of, free from the lien, assignments and security interests of this Mortgage, such Fixtures and Equipment as from time to time become worn out or obsolete or surplus, provided that simultaneously with, or promptly after such removal any such equipment shall be replaced, if needed, with other equipment of a value at least equal to that of the replaced equipment and free from any title retention or security agreement or other encumbrance and from any reservation of title, and by such removal and replacement Mortgagor shall be deemed to have subjected such equipment to the lien, assignments and security interests of this Mortgage.

Mortgagor shall certify compliance with a 1.25 to 1.00 In-Place DSCR commencing with the date the Borrower acquired the Real Property through December 31, 2020 and annually as of December 31 of each year thereafter. “In-Place DSCR” following Closing means the ratio of (X) the trailing actual 12-month net operating income of the Property, to (Y) actual debt service, including interest and principal payable during the DSCR test period.

Mortgagee may, with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Mortgage for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Mortgage for the balance of the Debt not then due.

Section 6.12Right to Enter. During the existence of an Event of Default or at any time after the acceleration of the Debt or at any time after commencement of any legal proceeding under this Mortgage during the existence of an Event of Default, and subject to applicable state law, Mortgagee shall have the right forthwith, at its election, and without further notice or demand (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents) and without the commencement of any action to foreclose this Mortgage, to enter immediately upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, without further consent or assignment by Mortgagor, and to do, execute and perform any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever that ought to be done, executed and performed in and about or with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the leasing, management, or operation thereof as fully as Mortgagor might do, including, without limitation, the right to institute summary proceedings against any lessee who shall fail to comply with the provisions of the applicable lease, with the right to lease the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and to collect and receive all of the rents, issues and profits, and all other amounts past due or to become due to Mortgagor by reason of its ownership of the Mortgaged Property and to apply the same, after the payment of all necessary charges and expenses in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, any managing agent’s commission, at the option of Mortgagee), on account of the Debt. If Mortgagor or any other person claiming by, through or under it (other than any lessee whose tenancy Mortgagee has agreed not to disturb or whose tenancy Mortgagee, in its

27


sole and uncontrolled discretion, is willing not to disturb), are occupying all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, it is hereby agreed that Mortgagor and such other persons shall either immediately surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee and vacate the premises so occupied or pay a reasonable rental for the use thereof, monthly in advance, to Mortgagee.

Section 6.13Right to Receiver. During the existence of an Event of Default or at any time after the acceleration of the Debt or at any time after commencement of any legal proceedings under this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, at Mortgagee's election, make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, as a matter of strict right, without notice to Mortgagor except as required by applicable law and without regard to the adequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Debt, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such an appointment. Any receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to possess, rent, maintain, repair and operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as may be approved by the court, and shall apply the rents realized in the same manner and order as foreclosure proceeds in accordance with Section 6.5 above.

Section 6.14Tenants at Will. Mortgagor agrees for itself and its successors and assigns, that if any of them shall hold possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof subsequent to foreclosure hereunder, Mortgagor, or the parties so holding possession, shall become and be considered as tenants at will of the purchaser or purchasers at such foreclosure sale; and any such tenant failing or refusing to surrender possession upon demand shall be guilty of forcible detainer and shall be liable to such purchaser or purchasers for rental on said premises, and shall be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law, all damages which may be sustained by any such tenant as a result thereof being hereby expressly waived.

Section 6.15Payment of Rents. Upon receipt of notice from Mortgagee and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall pay all rents, income and profits of any kind arising from Mortgagor's interest in the Leases and any renewals or extensions thereof for the use and occupation of all or any portion of the Real Property or the Improvements (including, without limitation, any amounts that are payable as a result of the early termination or surrender of any Leases) (collectively, the "Rents") thereafter received by Mortgagor from the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee and to the extent not paid shall hold such amounts as trust funds for the benefit of Mortgagee and such Rents shall be deemed "cash collateral" of Mortgagee under Title 11 of the United States Code.

Section 6.16WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOW OR HEREAFTER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING BY MORTGAGEE TO OBTAIN JUDGMENT FOR THE PRINCIPAL OF, OR INTEREST ON, THE NOTE AND OTHER SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID BY MORTGAGOR PURSUANT TO ANY

28


PROVISIONS OF THE NOTE OR THIS MORTGAGE, OR OF ANY OTHER NATURE IN AID OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE NOTE, OR OF THIS MORTGAGE, MORTGAGOR AND MORTGAGEE (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) EACH WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY AND WILL ENTER ITS VOLUNTARY APPEARANCE IN SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING.

Section 6.17Non-exclusive Remedies. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee herein is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given thereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of Mortgagee to exercise any right or power occurring upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Mortgage to Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. Nothing in this Mortgage or in the Note shall affect the obligation of Mortgagor to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Note in the manner and at the time and place therein respectively expressed.

Section 6.18Treatment of Leases. Mortgagee may, at its option exercisable at any time, unilaterally subordinate (or cause to be subordinated) the lien of this Mortgage to the leasehold estate under any Lease. Except to the extent that the leasehold estate under a Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage and is terminated by its foreclosure, upon the issuance of any deed or deeds pursuant to a foreclosure of this Mortgage, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the Lease shall, by virtue of this instrument and such deed or deeds, thereupon vest in and become the absolute property of the grantee or grantees in such deed or deeds without any further act or assignment by Mortgagor. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as its agent and attorney-in-fact (which power of attorney is with full power of substitution and delegation and is coupled with an interest) to execute, acknowledge and deliver all instruments of assignment for further assurance in favor of such grantee or grantees in such deed or deeds as may be necessary or desirable for such purpose.

Section 6.19Assignment of Leases. The assignment of leases and rents contained in this Mortgage is intended to, and does, constitute an assignment of rents contemplated in Florida Statutes, Section 697.07. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee shall be entitled to the remedies provided in said Florida Statutes, Section 697.07, in addition to all other rights and remedies, whether procedural or substantive, in effect at the time of execution or enforcement of this Mortgage.

ARTICLE 7.

MORTGAGEE'S RIGHT TO PERFORM MORTGAGOR'S OBLIGATIONS

29


Section 7.1Mortgagee May Elect to Perform Defaulted Obligations. During the continuation of any Event of Default, Mortgagee (in Mortgagor's name or in Mortgagee's own name) may perform the agreements, covenants or obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage, or cause them to be performed for Mortgagor's account and at Mortgagor's expense, but shall have no obligation to perform any of them or cause them to be performed. Any and all expenses thus incurred or paid by Mortgagee shall be Mortgagor's obligations to Mortgagee due and payable within ten (10) days after demand, and each shall bear interest from the date of demand until the date Mortgagor repays it to Mortgagee, at the lesser of (a) the maximum interest rate allowed under Florida law , or (b) the Default Rate. Upon making any such payment or incurring any such expense, Mortgagee shall be fully and automatically subrogated to all of the rights of the person, corporation or body politic receiving such payment. Any amounts owing by Mortgagor to Mortgagee pursuant to this or any other provision of this Mortgage shall automatically and without notice be and become a part of the Debt and shall be secured by this and all other instruments securing the Debt. The amount and nature of any such expense and the time when it was paid shall be fully established by the affidavit of Mortgagee or any of Mortgagee's officers or agents or by the affidavit of any original, substitute or successor Mortgagee acting under this Mortgage. Without notice to Mortgagor or any other person or entity, the Default Rate shall automatically fluctuate upward and downward as and in any amount by which the rate of interest permitted by such applicable law and the rate of interest as provided for in the Note for interest on past due principal fluctuates.

Section 7.2Exercise of Rights is Not Waiver or Cure of Default. The exercise of the privileges granted to Mortgagee in this Article shall in no event be considered or constitute a cure of the default or a waiver of Mortgagee's right at any time after an Event of Default to declare the Debt to be at once due and payable, but is cumulative of such right and of all other rights given by this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents and of all rights given Mortgagee by law.

ARTICLE 8.

TAX AND INSURANCE DEPOSITS

Upon occurrence of any Event of Default, or if such proof is requested in writing by Mortgagee, Mortgagor fails to provide Mortgagee with proof of payment within thirty (30) days after the due date of any such taxes, Mortgagor agrees to deposit with Mortgagee in a Tax Escrow Account each month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the aggregate of (i) the next succeeding premiums (or payments in respect of them, if premiums are financed) on all insurance policies which Mortgagor is required by or pursuant to this Mortgage to maintain on the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the amount of the next succeeding annual tax payments, assessment installments, maintenance charges and other Impositions to become due and payable with respect to the Mortgaged Property, as reasonably estimated by Mortgagee, plus, with the first of such monthly deposits, an additional month's share (a twelfth) of such premiums, taxes and other Impositions for each month less than twelve remaining before the next payment

30


thereof falls due. At least fifteen (15) days before the date on which any such insurance premium (or payment in respect of it, if premiums are financed) or any of the Impositions must be paid to avoid delinquency, Mortgagor agrees to deliver to Mortgagee (promptly after Mortgagee's request) a statement or statements showing the amount of the premium (or payment in respect of it, if premiums are financed) or Impositions required to be paid and the name and mailing address of the concern or authority to which it is payable and, at the same time, Mortgagor agrees to deposit with Mortgagee such amounts as will, when added to the amount of such deposits previously made and then remaining available for the purpose, be sufficient to pay when due such insurance obligations or Impositions. Mortgagee shall have the right to and will, if, as and when requested by Mortgagor to do so, apply all funds in the Tax Escrow Account in payment of such insurance obligations and Impositions. Once Mortgagee applies such funds in the Tax Escrow Account in payment of insurance obligations and Impositions, in the event that there are excess funds remaining in the Tax Escrow Account and provided there exists no Default at the time in question, such excess funds shall be applied to (and thus shall reduce) the payments required under this Article 8 during the following calendar year.

ARTICLE 9.

GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 9.1Debt May be Changed without Affecting this Mortgage. Any of the Debt may be extended, rearranged, renewed, increased or otherwise changed in any way, and any part of the security described in this Mortgage or any other security for any part of the Debt may be waived or released without in any way altering or diminishing the force, effect or lien of this Mortgage, and the lien, assignment and security interest granted by this Mortgage shall continue as a prior lien, assignment and security interest on all of the Mortgaged Property not expressly so released, until the final termination and discharge of this Mortgage.

Section 9.2Security is Cumulative. No other security now existing or hereafter taken to secure any part of the Debt or the performance of any obligation or liability whatever shall in any manner affect or impair the security given by this Mortgage. All security for any part of the Debt and the performance of any obligation or liability shall be taken, considered and held as cumulative.

Section 9.3Usury Law. The Note and this Mortgage are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Mortgagor be obligated or required to pay interest or the principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could subject the Mortgagee to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Mortgagor is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of the Note or this Agreement, Mortgagor is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous

31


payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.

Section 9.4Mortgagor Waives All Stay, Extension, Appraisal and Redemption Rights. Mortgagor agrees that it will not at any time insist upon or plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force in any locality where the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof may or shall be situated, nor will Mortgagor claim, take or insist on any benefit or advantage from any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof before any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, or to decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, nor after any such sale or sales made pursuant to any provision of this Mortgage, or to decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, nor after any such sale or sales will Mortgagor claim or exercise any right conferred by any law now or at any time hereafter in force to redeem the property so sold or any part of it, and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, Mortgagor hereby WAIVES all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws and WAIVES the appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or any part of it and covenants that Mortgagor will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power in this Mortgage granted and delegated to the Mortgagee, but that Mortgagor will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.

Section 9.5Intentionally Omitted.

Section 9.6 Due on Sale. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 10.3 hereof, it shall be an Event of Default if (a) any part of the Mortgaged Property or any interest either in the Mortgaged Property or in the beneficial equity ownership of the Mortgagor should be directly or indirectly transferred, conveyed or mortgaged, voluntarily or involuntarily, absolutely or as security.

Section 9.7Condemnation. If before final termination of this Mortgage, all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property is taken for public or quasi-public purposes, either through eminent domain or condemnation proceedings, by voluntary conveyance under threat of condemnation with Mortgagee's express written consent and joinder or otherwise, Mortgagor hereby agrees that any and all sums of money awarded or allowed as damages, payments in lieu of condemnation awards or otherwise to or for the account of the owner of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of it on account of such taking shall be paid and delivered to Mortgagee, and they are hereby assigned to Mortgagee, and shall be paid directly to Mortgagee. All proceeds of condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu of condemnation with respect to the Mortgaged Property and all judgments, decrees and awards for injury or damage to the Mortgaged Property shall be applied, first, to reimburse Mortgagee for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with collection of such proceeds and, second, the remainder of said proceeds shall be applied, as provided in the Loan Documents. Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assignments of all such proceeds, judgments, decrees and awards as Mortgagee may request.

32


Mortgagee is hereby authorized, in the name of Mortgagor, to execute and deliver valid acquittances for, and to appeal from, any such judgment, decree or award. Mortgagee shall not be, in any event or circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of, any such proceeds, judgments, decrees or awards.

Section 9.8Mortgagee's Right to Obtain Appraisals. Mortgagee (by its officers, employees, directors or agents) may, at any time and from time to time, contract for the services of an appraiser approved by Mortgagee in its sole discretion to perform a written appraisal of the Mortgaged Property (or such parts of it as are designated in Mortgagee's request). Any such appraisal may be performed at any time or times upon reasonable prior notice to Mortgagor, as long as it does not unreasonably interfere with Mortgagor's or the tenants' use of the Mortgaged Property. Specifically, any such appraiser is authorized to enter upon, and Mortgagor shall allow such appraiser access to, the Mortgaged Property as may be necessary in the opinion of such appraiser to perform its professional services, subject to the rights of the tenants under their leases. Mortgagor will also furnish such appraiser such historical and operational information regarding the Mortgaged Property as may be reasonably requested by such appraiser to facilitate preparation of an appraisal and will make available for meetings on reasonable prior notice with such appraiser appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee and its agents, independent contractors, representatives, employees and officers at all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to go upon, examine, inspect and remain on the Mortgaged Property for any lawful purpose and will furnish to Mortgagee on request all pertinent information in regard to the development, operation, use and status of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall only be responsible for the payment of the cost of such appraisals to the extent provided in the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE 10

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 10.1Intentionally omitted.

Section 10.2Exculpation of National Safe Harbor Exchanges, Inc. National Safe Harbor Exchanges, Inc., a California corporation (“NSHE”), is acting as an exchange accommodation titleholder in connection with like-kind exchanges under IRC §1031 and Revenue Procedure 2000-37 for the benefit of Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc. (“the “Exchanger”) with respect to Mortgagor and its interest in the Mortgaged Property. NSHE is the sole member of Mortgagor. The general credit of NSHE is not obligated or available for the payment of the indebtedness created or secured by the Note, this Mortgage, any environmental indemnitees and any other Loan Documents executed by NSHE or Mortgagor in connection with the Loan. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Loan Documents to the contrary, except in the event of fraud or willful misconduct by NSHE, Mortgagee will not look to NSHE or its directors, officers, employees or shareholders (collectively, the “NSHE Parties”) with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents or any covenant, stipulation, promise, indemnity, agreement or obligation contained therein. In enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder and/or any of the other Loan Documents, the Mortgagee will look solely to any and all of the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor, the Exchanger and Guarantor for the payment of the indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents and for the performance of the provisions thereof. The Mortgagee will not seek a deficiency or other money judgment against NSHE or NSHE Parties and will not institute any separate action against NSHE or NSHE Parties by reason of any default that may occur in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents between Mortgagor and Mortgagee. This agreement on the part of Mortgagee shall not be construed in any way so as (1) to affect or impair the lien of this Mortgage or any other Loan Document or Mortgagee’s right to foreclose as provided by law, or (2) to limit or restrict any of the rights or remedies of Mortgagee in any foreclosure proceedings or other action to enforce payment of the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage.

40


Section 10.3Permitted Transfer. Mortgagee shall allow NSHE to transfer the Mortgaged Property to Exchanger pursuant to the Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement between said parties. These transfer shall not constitute an event that would permit Mortgagee to declare the Loan immediately due and payable, nor shall such transfer subject NSHE to payment of any Mortgagee transfer fee. Upon such permitted transfer, NSHE shall be released from any and all liability. Mortgagee consents to the transfer of the Mortgaged Property either by (1) deed from the Mortgagor to the Exchanger or (2) NSHE’s assignment to the Exchanger of the sole membership interests in the Mortgagor. Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee as to the timing of such transfer, which shall occur no later than the six (6) month deadline for conclusion of Mortgagor’s tax deferred exchange and shall provide copies of all documents to Mortgagee. If title is to be transferred by deed to any parties other than Mortgagor, Mortgagor will cause the parties taking title to assume all obligations under the Loan. Mortgagor shall also provide updated W-9 forms, beneficial ownership forms and any other documents reasonably required by Mortgagee documenting the revised ownership of Mortgagor at the time of any such transfer.

Borrower agrees that, in the absence of manifest error, the books and records of the Bank shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount owing to the Bank pursuant to this Note.

(e)Balloon Payment.  Borrower acknowledges that said monthly payments of principal shall be insufficient to fully amortize the principal amount of this Note prior to the Maturity Date and, therefore, Borrower shall be obligated to make a so-called balloon payment on the Maturity Date in order to pay this Note in full.

(a)Late Charges.If any amount payable under this Note (except the amount due at the Maturity Date) is not paid within ten (10) days after its due date, Borrower shall pay to the Bank on demand an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid amount which Borrower acknowledges to be a reasonable late charge to compensate the Bank for the administrative costs of dealing with such late payment and for its loss of use of such funds.  Borrower also acknowledges that such late charge is a material inducement to the Bank to make the Loan evidenced by this Note, the Bank would not have made the Loan in the absence of the agreement of Borrower to pay such late charge and such late charge is not a penalty and represents a reasonable estimate of compensation to the Bank for losses resulting from Borrower’s default that are difficult to ascertain.

(b)Expenses.  Borrower further promises to pay to the Bank, as incurred, and as an additional part of the unpaid principal balance, all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred (i) in the preparation, protection, modification, collection, defense or enforcement of all or part of this Note or any guaranty hereof, or (ii) in the foreclosure or enforcement of any mortgage or security interest which may now or hereafter secure either the debt hereunder or any guaranty thereof, or (iii) with respect to any action reasonably taken to protect, defend, modify or sustain the lien of any such mortgage or security agreement, or (iv) with respect to any litigation or controversy arising from or connected with the enforcement of any provisions of this Note or any mortgage or security agreement or collateral which may now or hereafter secure this Note, or (v) with respect to any act reasonably taken to protect, defend, modify, enforce or release any of its rights or remedies with regard to, or otherwise effect collection of, any collateral which may now or in the future secure this Note, or with regard to or against Borrower or any endorser, guarantor or surety of this Note.

(c)Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum otherwise payable hereunder, plus five percent

4


(5.0%) per annum (the “Default Rate”) until payment in full (whether before or after judgment has been rendered with respect hereto) which amounts shall each become an additional part of the unpaid balance.

(d)LIBOR Termination Provisions.  If the Bank, in its sole discretion, determines that (a) (i) the LIBOR Rate cannot be readily determined or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining the Loan or (ii) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund the Loan are not available to the Bank, and such circumstances are likely to be permanent, (b) ICE Benchmark Administration (or any Person that takes over the administration of such rate) ceases its administration and publication of interest settlement rates for deposits in U.S. dollars, or (c) the supervisor for the administrator of the publication of such rates or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Bank has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such interest settlement rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Bank shall determine an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate taking into account then prevailing standards in the market for determining interest rates for comparable commercial loans made by financial institutions in the United States at such time.  The Bank and the Borrower hereby agree to enter into an amendment to this Note and/or the Loan Documents, if necessary, to incorporate such alternate interest rate (the “Alternative Rate”) and other accompanying changes to this Note and/or the Loan Documents that are reasonably determined to be applicable thereto.

(e)Additional Payments. If Bank shall deem applicable to this Note, any requirement of any law of the United States of America, any regulation, order, interpretation, ruling, official directive or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other board or governmental or administrative agency of the United States of America which shall impose, increase, modify or make applicable thereto or cause to be included in, any reserve, special deposit, calculation used in the computation of regulatory capital standards, assessment or other requirement which imposes on Bank any cost that is attributable to the maintenance hereof, then, and in each such event, Bank shall notify the Borrower thereof and the Borrower shall pay the Bank, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice, such amount as will compensate Bank for any such cost, which determination may be based upon the Bank's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such costs resulting from such events and shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the Bank’s practices for similar loans and similar borrowers.  In the event any such cost is a continuing cost, a fee payable to Bank may be imposed upon the Borrower periodically for so long as any such cost is deemed applicable to the Bank, in an amount determined by Bank to be necessary to compensate Bank for any such cost.  The determination by any Bank of the existence and amount of any such cost shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or mitigate any costs attributable to the maintenance of the Loan. If Bank is unable to eliminate such costs, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in full, but not in part, without prepayment charges.

6.Prepayment.

5


(a)Borrower may prepay the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in full but not in part, upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice of the projected date of prepayment and upon concurrent payment to Bank of any and all Breakage Costs or damages incurred by the Bank in connection with such prepayment.

(b)In the event that Borrower elects to prepay the Note in accordance with the terms set forth above, Borrower shall give Bank not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to prepay the Note.  Any amounts specified in the aforesaid prepayment notice shall, upon the giving of said notice, become due and payable at the time provided for prepayment in said notice. Any prepayments permitted hereunder shall be applied to interest and other charges accrued under this Note to the day prepayment shall have been received by Bank, and then to principal, in the inverse order of the installments of principal payable under this Note.

(c)If the maturity of this Note shall be accelerated for any reason, then a tender of payment by Borrower, or by anyone on behalf of Borrower, of the amount necessary to satisfy all sums due under this Note shall constitute an evasion of the payment terms of this Note and shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment under this Note, and any such prepayment, to the extent permitted by law, shall require the concurrent payment to Bank of the Breakage Costs.

7.Events of Default.  An Event of Default shall be those events set forth in Section 6.2 of the Mortgage.

8.Acceleration.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, at the option of the Bank all principal outstanding hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon and charges incurred with respect thereto, shall become immediately due and payable, all without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower. No remedy herein conferred upon the Bank or the holder of this Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

9.Set-off.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, the Bank is hereby authorized at any time from time to time, without notice to Borrower to set-off and apply any and all deposits of Borrower (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), credits, collateral and property, but expressly excluding tenant security deposits, at any time held by, in transit to or in the safekeeping, custody or control of, the Bank or any entity under the control of or under common control with the Bank (and shall include any other obligation at any time owing by the Bank or any entity under the control of or under common control with the Bank to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) against any and all of the obligations of Borrower to the Bank now or hereafter existing hereunder, irrespective of whether or not the Bank shall have made any demand hereunder and even though such obligations may be contingent and unmatured. Upon making any such set-off, appropriation or application, the Bank agrees to notify Borrower thereof in writing, provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set

6


off or appropriation or application.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SET-OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.  

10.Collateral.  This Note and the indebtedness evidenced hereby are secured, inter alia, by that certain Mortgage Deed, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of even date herewith, between Borrower, as mortgagor, and the Bank, as mortgagee (the “Mortgage”).  The Mortgage constitutes a first priority lien on certain real and personal property, more particularly described therein located at , 3220 Maggie Boulevard, Orlando, Orange County, Florida (the “Mortgaged Property”).

(the “Bank”) to Riverbend Orlando Holdings III, LLC which is secured by property known as 3320 Maggie Boulevard, Orlando, Orange County, Florida (the “Mortgaged Premises”).

As a result of concerns relating to the tenant of the Mortgaged Premises, in order to induce the Bank to make the Maggie Boulevard Loan, Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc. (“Griffin”) and the Bank have agreed that an amount equal to one year’s debt service on the Maggie Boulevard Loan, will be carved out and not available for advance from that certain $19,500,000 line of credit facility entered into between the Bank and Griffin, pursuant to a loan dated April 24, 2013, as amended to date (collectively, the “Line of Credit”), until the maturity date of the Line of Credit on September 30, 2021 (such non-availability herein, the “Holdback”) It is understood and agreed that no unused line fee will be applicable to the amount of the Holdback. It is also understood and agreed that the Holdback shall not apply during any extension of the Line of Credit exercised by Griffin as provided therein.

In the event that debt service is not paid on the Maggie Boulevard Loan, by acceptance of this letter, Griffin hereby authorizes the Bank to advance funds from the Line of Credit, as needed to make monthly payments of debt service on the Maggie Boulevard Loan, without the need for any further documentation or authorization.

This letter agreement shall amend the Loan Agreement entered into between Bank and Griffin for the Line of Credit. Please sign below to confirm your agreement to the terms and conditions contained in this letter.

Very Truly Yours,

GRIFFIN ANNOUNCES CLOSING ON MORTGAGE LOAN

NEW YORK, NEW YORK (July 6, 2020) Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRIF) (“Griffin”) announced that Riverbend Orlando Holdings III, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffin, entered into a $5.1 million nonrecourse mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) on the approximately 108,000 square foot fully-leased industrial/warehouse building in Orlando, Florida that the Borrower acquired in February 2020 (such acquired property, the “Property”). The Mortgage Loan, evidenced by a Promissory Note issued by the Borrower to Webster Bank, National Association (“Webster Bank”), has a ten-year term with principal payments based on a twenty-five-year amortization schedule and a variable interest rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.56%. Upon closing the Mortgage Loan, the Borrower entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Webster Bank that effectively fixes the interest rate on the Mortgage Loan at 3.50% for the entire loan term. $4.1 million of the proceeds from the Mortgage Loan were used to repay Webster Bank for the borrowing under Griffin’s line of credit for acquisitions that was used to finance a portion of the Property’s purchase price.
