(i)Generally. Each Advance shall be subject to the terms of Exhibits B and C as well as the terms of this Section 2.02(c). Borrower shall be entitled to request (and Lender shall be obligated to make) no more than one (1) Advance in any calendar month; provided, however, Lender may make an additional Advance each calendar month to pay interest as provided in Section 2.02(f).

(ii)Minimum Advance Amounts. Except for Advances to pay interest, any Advance other than the final Advance, if applicable, shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $100,000, unless otherwise approved by Lender.

(iii)Requests for Advances. To request an Advance, Borrower shall notify Lender of such request by electronic communication as provided in Section 7.01, not later than 11:00 a.m. Dallas, Texas time, ten (10) Business Days before the proposed Borrowing Date of such Advance. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be in a form approved by Lender and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02(c)(i) and (ii): (A) the aggregate amount of the requested Advance, and (B) the requested Borrowing Date of such Advance, which shall be a Business Day.

(d)Loan Disbursements/Equity Draws.

(i)Loan Disbursements. Unless a Default or Unmatured Default exists, Advances shall be disbursed by Lender directly to Borrower. Any Advance made by Lender when a Default or Unmatured Default exists shall be disbursed, at Lender’s option: (a) directly to Borrower, (b) directly to Contractor, (c) jointly to Borrower and Contractor or any other contractor or subcontractor, (d) directly to Persons supplying labor, materials and services in connection with the Improvements, (e) jointly to Borrower and said Persons, or (f) any combination of the foregoing.

​

(ii)Borrower’s Equity Requirement. Borrower shall submit a Draw Package for each disbursement of Borrower’s Equity Requirement to Lender at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of such disbursement as if such disbursement constituted an Advance.

(e)Balancing.

(i)“In Balance” Determination. Advances shall only be made at such times as the Loan is “in balance”. The Loan shall be deemed to be “in balance” only at such times as Lender determines that (A) amounts available for disbursement under the Loan Documents for Project Costs together with (B) available undisbursed Balancing Deposits, will be sufficient to complete and operate the Improvements in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and pay all Project Costs as and when expected to be incurred through the date then currently projected for the commencement of Amazon Tenant’s obligation to pay Lease rent under the Amazon Lease.

(ii)Balancing Deposits; Security Interest. Within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender that the Loan is not “in balance,” and prior to any subsequent Advance, Borrower shall deposit sufficient funds with Lender to bring the Loan “in balance” (in each case, a “Balancing Deposit”). Any amounts so deposited will be held by Lender in an interest bearing account (the “Borrower’s Funds Account”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority security interest in and lien on the Borrower’s Funds Account and all amounts from time to time on deposit, and any proceeds, as security for the Obligations. Any amounts so deposited shall be disbursed for the payment of Project Costs before any additional Advances are made and shall be subject to the same conditions as would be applicable to an Advance. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of a Default, Lender may apply all or any portion of any Balancing Deposit (including accrued interest) to the payment of the Obligations or any Project Costs.

(f)Advances to Pay Interest. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make Advances to pay interest when due on the Loan from the portion of the Commitment allocated in the Budget for interest to pay interest (the “Interest Reserve”) when due on the Loan. Lender may make such Advances notwithstanding that a Default or Unmatured Default may have occurred. If funds are not available from the Interest Reserve to pay interest when due on the Loan, Borrower shall pay such interest from its own funds. Cash flow from the Project (after payment of Property Operating Expenses) must be used to pay interest on the Loan before any Advances are made to pay interest.

(g)Budget.

(i)Any changes to the Budget shall require Lender’s consent.

(ii)Line Item Cost Savings from any Budget line item other than for interest on the Loan, shall be reallocated to the contingency line item and shall be available for costs in any other Budget line item.

(iii)Funds allocated to the contingency line item in the Budget shall be available for Project Costs in the same proportion as the percent of completion of the Project.

(h) Stored Materials. Borrower shall be entitled to receive Advances for Stored Materials so long as: (A) the amount to be advanced on account thereof does not include the cost of incorporating such materials into the Improvements; (B) the materials are suitably stored on-site (or off-site, as applicable) and insured for the full value against theft, destruction or other casualty under insurance policies designating Lender as loss payee and

​

additional insured as evidenced by insurance binders or endorsements satisfactory to Lender in its commercially reasonable judgment; (C) immediately upon disbursement of the Advance, Borrower will have absolute title to the Stored Materials as evidenced by appropriate bills of sale and payment receipts; (D) to the extent required by Lender, the Inspecting Professional shall have verified that the materials to be paid for comply with the Plans and Specifications and are of suitable quality for ultimate incorporation into the Improvements and are free from any apparent defect; (E) to the extent required by Lender, any off-site Stored Materials and components shall be physically segregated from the other assets of the vendor or placed in a bonded warehouse or similarly secured facility, and (F) Lender shall have a perfected security interest in the Stored Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Advances for off-site Stored Materials exceed an aggregate of Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) at any one time of which up to One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) may be for deposits for materials to be incorporated into the Project

(i) Hard Costs; Soft Costs; Leasing Costs.

(i)Advances for Hard Costs and Soft Costs shall be made in accordance with the Budget and the provisions in the Construction Contract for the withholding and payment of retainage. Lender shall not be required to disburse more than the amount shown in the Budget for any Project Cost. The line item in the Budget identified as “Developer’s Fee” shall be available for disbursement to Borrower at any time in the same proportion as the then current percentage completion of the Improvements.

(ii)Advances for Tenant Improvement Costs/Tenant Allowance Payments shall be limited to the amount set forth in the Budget and Advances for Leasing Commissions shall be limited to $1,000,000 with respect to the Amazon Lease, or such other amounts in each case as Lender may approve in writing in connection with Lender’s specific approval of any other Lease.

(j)Final Construction Advance; Release of Retainage. Advances for the payment of final construction costs and release of retainage to the Contractor shall not be made until Lender has received and approved, in its commercially reasonable judgment, all of the following:

(i)evidence that Substantial Completion has occurred;

(ii)such title insurance endorsements as Lender may reasonably require including, without limitation, endorsements to the Title Policy insuring the Security Instrument as a first lien upon the Property, excepting only such items as shall be permitted under the Loan Documents, and insuring over all mechanics’ and material suppliers’ liens arising (or which may arise) from the completion of the Improvements;

(iii)if requested by Lender, an ALTA as-built survey or other satisfactory evidence (which includes an appropriate professional seal) showing that (A) the Shell Improvements do not encroach on any easement or public or private right of way, (B) the Shell Improvements have been constructed within the boundaries of the Property, (C) the Shell Improvements have been constructed within the setback lines as required by applicable zoning ordinances and do not encroach upon any other lot or property;

(iv)if requested by Lender, “as-built” Plans and Specifications of the Shell Improvements, showing the final specifications of all Improvements and that in all material respects the Improvements have been built substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications;

​

(v)if requested by Lender, executed AIA Form G704 (Certificate of Substantial Completion), executed AIA Form G706 (Contractor’s Affidavit of Payments of Debts and claims), AIA Form G706A (Contractor’s Affidavit of Release of liens) and if Contractor has a payment and performance bond, AIA Form G707 (Consent of Surety of Final payment);

(vi)if requested by Lender, a warranty book, together with all guaranties and maintenance agreements on all Improvements; and

(vii)if requested by Lender and if the same is customary in connection with the completion of construction where the Property is located, a notice of completion duly recorded in the official records of the county where the Property is located.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a particular subcontractor completes its scope of work prior to Substantial Completion, the retainage held with respect to such subcontractor will be advanced to Borrower at Borrower’s request, subject to (i) satisfaction of each of the conditions for Advances (other than Advances for retainage) and (ii) receipt by Lender of a conditional lien waiver, followed by delivery to Lender of a final unconditional lien waiver, from the applicable subcontractor within sixty (60) days.

To the extent permitted under applicable law, upon the occurrence of a Default, and after maturity, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan will bear interest, before and after judgment, at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or, at the option of Lender, five percent (5%) plus the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as applicable, “Default Rate”).

(c)Payment of Accrued Interest. Accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan is payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for the immediately preceding calendar month; provided (i)

Borrower will pay the late fee upon demand by Lender.

2.06Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If (i) Lender determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate for any day (including because the LIBOR Rate or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate is not available or published on a current basis), or (ii) Lender determines that the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate for any day will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Loan, then Lender shall give notice to Borrower by electronic communication as provided in Section 7.01 as promptly as practicable and, until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Loan shall bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

​

(b) If at any time Lender determines that (i) the circumstances in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Lender has made a public statement that the LIBOR Rate or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate, as applicable, (x) has ceased, or will cease, to be provided permanently or indefinitely (provided that there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the LIBOR Rate or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate), or (y) is no longer representative, then Lender and Borrower may amend this Agreement to (1) establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBOR Rate or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate, which alternate rate may include a mathematical adjustment that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention or to recommendation by a relevant Governmental Authority (as determined by Lender) for determining a spread adjustment for the replacement of the LIBOR Rate or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate, (2) reflect any technical, administrative or operational changes that Lender requires in its reasonable discretion to implement and administer such alternate rate of interest and (3) make any other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.06(b), only to the extent the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period or the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate, as applicable, is not available or published at such time on a current basis), the Loan shall bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin. In the event that any alternate rate of interest established pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be less than zero percent (0%), such rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0%) for the purposes of this Agreement.

​

(c)Exculpation. It is expressly understood and agreed that Lender is under no duty to supervise or to inspect the work of construction. Any inspections of the Improvements made by or on behalf of Lender are for the sole benefit of Lender and neither Borrower nor any other Person will have any right to rely thereon. Failure to inspect the work or any part thereof shall not constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights. Inspection not followed by notice of Default shall not constitute a waiver of any Default then existing; nor shall it constitute an acknowledgment that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans and Specifications or applicable Legal Requirements or that the construction is free from defective materials or workmanship. It is further understood and agreed that any consents or approvals of Lender are for the sole purpose of protecting the interests of Lender under the Loan Documents and neither Borrower nor any other Person shall have any right to receive and/or rely on such approvals for any purposes.

3.16Right to Post Signs; Publicity. On Lender’s request, Borrower will allow Lender to share signage on the Property for the purpose of identifying Lender as the bank for the construction financing for the Improvements. The form of such signage shall be subject to all Legal Requirements and subject to the prior approval of Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall permit Lender to publicize its involvement in the construction financing for the Property or the Project with Borrower’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

3.18No Amendments of Construction Agreements. Borrower shall not alter, amend or change in any material respect, or terminate or cancel, the Construction Contract, the Engineer’s Contract, the Architect’s Contract, or the Development Agreement without obtaining Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

If the base rent payable under the Amazon Lease is reduced in connection with Amazon’s audit rights with respect to construction costs related to the Project under the Amazon Lease, and after giving effect to such base rent reduction, the Project fails to generate a Debt Yield of at least nine percent (9.0%) (the “Minimum Debt Yield”), then within ten (10) days of Lender’s demand, Borrower shall prepay principal of the Loan by the amount necessary to satisfy the Minimum Debt Yield. Any such prepayment will permanently reduce the Commitment.

During any construction period, such policy will be written in the so-called “Builder’s Risk Completed Value Non-Reporting Form” with no coinsurance requirement and must contain a provision granting the insured permission to occupy prior to completion. Such policy may not contain an exclusion for terrorist losses.

(e)Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with the applicable laws of the state in which the work is to be performed or of the state in which Borrower is obligated to pay compensation to employees engaged in the performance of the work.

(g)Reserved.

(h)Rent loss or business interruption insurance against loss of income (including, but not limited to, rent, cost reimbursements and all other amounts payable by tenants under Leases or otherwise derived by Borrower from the operation of the Property) arising out of damage to or destruction of the Property by fire or other peril (including earthquake if required) insured against under each policy. The amount of the policy must be in the amount equal to twelve (12) months’ projected rentals or gross revenue.

Lender, at its option and upon notice to Borrower, may retain at Borrower’s expense, an insurance consultant to review the insurance for the Property to confirm that it complies with the terms and conditions herein.

5.03Evidence of Insurance; Payment of Premiums. Borrower will deliver to Lender, at least five (5) days before the expiration of an existing policy, evidence acceptable to Lender of the continuation of the coverage of the expiring policy. Nothing contained in this Section will require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder, and inaction by Lender will never be considered a waiver of any right accruing to Lender on account on this Section. Borrower agrees to pay all premiums on such insurance as they become due, and will not permit any condition to exist on or with respect to the Project or the Property which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance thereon.

5.04Collateral Protection. Unless Borrower provides Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Lender’s interest in the Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest in the Property. The coverages that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property. Borrower or Lender (as appropriate) may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after Lender receives satisfactory evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Lender purchases insurance for the Property, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including any charges imposed by Lender in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of such insurance. Any amounts so disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section will be repaid by Borrower within 10 days after written demand. The costs of the insurance may, at Lender’s discretion, be added to Borrower’s total principal obligation owing to Lender, and in any event will be secured by the liens on the Property created by the Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that (i) the costs of insurance obtained by Lender may be more than the costs of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own, and (ii) in the case of flood insurance, the amount of coverage may be more than required by the Flood Laws.

5.05No Liability; Assignment. Lender will not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any such insurance, incur any liability for the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurers, or payment of losses, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, thereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any unearned premiums paid on policies and any claims thereunder and Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to assign any then existing claims under the same to any purchaser of the Property at any foreclosure sale; provided, however, that so long as no Default exists and is continuing hereunder, Borrower will have the right under a license granted hereby, and Lender hereby grants to Borrower a license, to exercise rights under said policies and in and to said premiums subject to the provisions of this Agreement. In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other

​

transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loan, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the insurance policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder will thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

5.06No Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not carry any separate insurance on the Property concurrent in kind or form with any insurance required hereunder or contributing in the event of loss without Lender’s prior written consent, and any such policy must have attached a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, with loss payable to Lender, and must otherwise meet all other requirements herein.

(u)Other Loan Document. Any default occurs under any other Loan Document and the same continues beyond any applicable notice and grace period;

(v)Cessation of Construction. Cessation of the work of construction prior to the completion of the Improvements for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more except as a result of Force Majeure Causes, or the obtaining by any Person of any order or decree in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining the construction of the Improvements which order or decree is not vacated within thirty (30) days after the granting of such order or decree;

(w)Change in Contractor. The occurrence of any change in the Contractor without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delated;

(x)Failure to Satisfy Construction Obligations. Borrower’s failure to cause the Improvements to be Substantially Completed as and when required by Section 3.12(b); or

(y)Failure to Perform Covenants. The failure of Borrower to fully perform any and all covenants and agreements under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, and, with respect to covenants and agreements other than those specifically referenced in this Section 6.01, or for which another cure period is

​

provided, such failure (“other default”) is not cured by Borrower within thirty (30) days after Lender gives notice to Borrower, unless (i) such other default, by its nature, is not capable of being cured within such period, and (ii) within such period, Borrower commences to cure such other default and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure, and (iii) Borrower causes such other default to be cured no later than ninety (90) days after the date of such notice from Lender.

6.02Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 6.01(b) or (c) occurs with respect to Borrower, the obligation of Lender to lend or disburse any principal of the Loan will automatically terminate and the Obligations will immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of Lender. During the continuance of any other Default, Lender may terminate or suspend the obligation of Lender to lend or disburse any principal of the Loan, or may declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives.

6.03Additional Lender Rights. During the continuance of a Default, without waiving the Default or any right of acceleration or foreclosure under the Loan Documents which Lender may have by reason of such Default or any other right Lender may have against Borrower because of said Default, Lender will have the right (but not the obligation) to take such actions and make such payments as shall be necessary to cure such Default, including the making of any Advance. Borrower will reimburse Lender upon demand for all amounts so expended, and such obligation will constitute an Obligation of Borrower.

6.04Application of Insufficient Funds. Lender will have the right to apply repayments and proceeds of collateral to the Obligations in any order, in its sole discretion.

6.05Right of Setoff. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender and its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Lender or its Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any or all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be unmatured. The rights of Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Lender may have.

6.06Right to Complete Construction. Without limitation of any other right or remedy available to Lender under the Loan Documents or applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Lender shall have the right in person or by agent to take possession of the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Improvements and protect the Property from injury. All reasonable sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been paid to Borrower and constitute Obligations. Effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to complete the Improvements in the name of Borrower. Borrower hereby empowers said attorney to: (a) use any funds of Borrower, including any funds which may remain undisbursed under this Agreement for the purpose of completing the Improvements; (b) make such additions, changes and corrections in the Plans and Specifications as Lender reasonably deems appropriate; (c) employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; (d) pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for such completion of the Improvements or for clearance of title; (e) execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (f) prosecute and defend all actions or

​

proceedings in connection with the Property or the construction of the Improvements and take such action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any bond or guaranty of completion; and (g) do any and every act which Borrower might do on its own behalf. It is further understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.

No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power under this Agreement will operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Lender under this

​

Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom will in any event be effective unless the same will be permitted by Section 7.02(b), and then such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of any Advance will not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Unmatured Default, regardless of whether Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Unmatured Default at the time.

(b)Waivers and Amendments. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Lender.

7.03Expenses; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity.

(a)Expenses. Borrower will pay (i) all reasonable out -of -pocket expenses incurred by Lender and its Affiliates, including Appraisal fees, inspection fees, Inspecting Professional charges, title and escrow charges, cost of any third party insurance consultant report and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Lender, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any approval or consent requested by Borrower or Guarantor, or any extensions, amendments, modifications or waivers of such provisions, and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loan, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan.

(b) Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) Borrower shall not assert, and Borrower hereby waives any claim against Lender and any Related Party of Lender (“Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii) no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each such party waives, any Liabilities against any other party to this Agreement, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document (other than the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) or any related agreement or document, the Transactions, the Loan or the use of the proceeds of the Loan; provided that, nothing in this Section 7.03(b) shall relieve Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 7.03(c), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(c)Indemnity. Borrower will indemnify Lender and each Related Party of Lender (each an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, taxes, judgments, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee and all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor (whether or not the Indemnitee is a party) (collectively, “Liabilities”), incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnitee, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or document, the performance by the parties of their respective obligations under such agreements and documents or the inaccuracy of any of Borrower’s representations, warranties or covenants therein, (ii) the Loan or the use

​

of the proceeds of the Loan, (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, defense, settlement or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including, if applicable, in connection with obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in Lender’s judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties in Sections 4.01(i) and (j) or a breach of the provisions set forth in Section 3.09); provided that such indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. The indemnity in this Section 7.03(b) shall not apply to any Liabilities, which are the subject of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, it being the intention of the parties hereto that Borrower’s liability for environmental matters be governed exclusively by the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and not by this Agreement. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 7.03(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

(d) Payment. All amounts due under this Section 7.03 will be payable promptly after written demand.

7.04Successors and Assigns.

(a)Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted under this Agreement. Except as permitted under this Agreement, Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, will be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, participants of Lender and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignment by Lender.

(i)Subject to the conditions in Section 7.04(b)(ii), Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loan at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of Borrower; provided no consent of Borrower will be required for an assignment to an Affiliate of Lender or an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee.

(ii)Subject to Lender’s notification to Borrower of an assignment, assignee will be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and Lender will, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender will cease to be a party but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03). Borrower agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent to act on behalf of such lenders and other Loan Syndications and Trading Association market standard provisions acceptable to Borrower and Lender.

(c)Pledges by Lender. Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section will not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a

​

security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest will release Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party.

7.05Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be considered to have been relied upon by Lender and will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and will continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any portion of the Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding. The provisions of Section 7.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Loan, the repayment of the Loan, the expiration or termination of the Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

7.06Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a)This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which will constitute an original, but all of which when taken together will constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(b)Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 7.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require Lender to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent Lender has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, Lender shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among Lender, Borrower and Guarantor, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that

​

reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) Lender, may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), and (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of the Agreement, such other Loan Documents and Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto, and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

7.07Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

7.08Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of New York, except preempted by federal laws applicable to national banks.

(b)Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby (i) submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or State court sitting in New York, New York or Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and any appellate court in such jurisdiction, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against Lender or any of its Related Parties may only) be heard and determined in such State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court, and (iii) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect any right that Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Borrower or Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)Waiver of Objection to Venue. Each of the parties to this Agreement waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 7.08(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

​

(d)Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

7.09WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

7.10Confidentiality. Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Obligations or the enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 7.10, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of Borrower, (h) to holders of equity interests in Borrower, or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section will be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Lender acknowledges that information (as defined in this Section) furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non-public information concerning Borrower, Guarantor, and their Related Parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws.

7.11Interest Rate Limitation. If any amount contracted for, charged or received with respect to the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in the computation or earning of any interest in excess of that permitted by

​

law, then (i) such excess sum received by Lender will be credited as a payment of principal unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing that Borrower elects to have such excess returned to Borrower, and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will immediately be deemed reformed to comply with applicable law and to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise provided by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  All amounts treated as interest on the Loan under applicable law will be spread throughout the full term of the Loan until paid in full, so that the rate or amount of interest applicable to the Loan does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect.

7.12Replacement Documentation. Promptly upon request by Lender, Borrower will, at Borrower’s sole expense, (i) promptly correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation thereof, and (ii) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as Lender may reasonably require from time to time in order to (A) carry out more effectively the purposes of the Loan Documents, (B) perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Loan Documents and any of the Liens intended to be created thereunder, (C) provide such certificates, documents, reports, information, affidavits and other instruments and do such further acts deemed necessary, desirable or proper by Lender to comply with the requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Lender. Upon any failure by Borrower to do so, Lender may make, execute and record any and all such instruments, certificates and other documents for and in the name of Borrower, all at the sole expense of Borrower, and Borrower hereby appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to do so, this appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable.

7.13Statements. Lender may from time to time provide Borrower with account statements or invoices with respect to any of the Obligations (the “Statements”). Lender is under no duty or obligation to provide Statements, which if provided, will be solely for Borrower’s convenience. Statements may contain estimates of the amounts owed during the relevant billing period, whether of principal, interest, fees or other Obligations. If Borrower pays the full amount indicated on a Statement on or before the due date indicated on such Statement, Borrower will not be in default of payment with respect to the billing period indicated on such Statement; provided, that acceptance by Lender of any payment that is less than the total amount actually due at that time (including, but not limited to, any past due amounts) will not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to receive payment in full as provided by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.14LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on the Loan is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR"). LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. LIBOR is currently the subject of regulatory reform and regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published, and Borrower and Guarantor should

​

consult their own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. In the event LIBOR is no longer available (or in certain other circumstances), Section 2.06 of this Agreement provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. Lender will inform Borrower of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate of the Loan is based. However, Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to LIBOR or any other rates in the definition of LIBOR Rate or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement reference rates, including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rates will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR and/or the LIBOR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

7.15Release of Roadway. Lender acknowledges that in accordance with the plans for the Improvements which have been approved by all applicable Governmental Authorities, Borrower is obligated to construct, and upon completion thereof, dedicate to the applicable Governmental Authority, a roadway along the southern boundary of the Property (as shown on the Plans and Specifications) which is to be a public road. Lender agrees that, upon request of Borrower once such roadway has been completed in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications, Lender, at no expense to Lender, shall cooperate with Borrower in its dedication of such roadway to the applicable Governmental Authority and shall execute and deliver, and cause the Trustee to execute and deliver, any release or other documentation which is reasonably required to release such roadway from the lien of the Security Instrument; provided, however, that Lender’s obligation to release such roadway from the lien of the Security Instrument is expressly conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(a)Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender that: (i) the portion of the Property to be released and the portion of the Property which shall remain encumbered by the Security Instrument are all legal parcels lawfully created in compliance with all subdivision laws and ordinances and, at Borrower’s sole cost, Lender shall have received any title insurance endorsements to that effect reasonably requested by Lender; and (ii) the portion of the Property which shall remain encumbered by the Security Instrument has the benefit of all utilities, easements, public and/or private streets, covenants, conditions and restrictions as may be necessary, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, for the anticipated development, improvement and use thereof in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, the Development Agreement and the Lease; and

(b)not more than ten (10) days after such partial release of the Security Instrument, such roadway shall be dedicated and/or conveyed by Borrower to such Governmental Authority.

7.16Restrictions on Easements, Covenants and Restrictions. Borrower will not create or suffer to be created or to exist any easement, right of way, restriction, covenant, condition, license, cross easement, reciprocal parking agreement, or other right in favor of any Person or entity which affects or might affect title to the Property or the use and occupancy of the Property or any part thereof without (i) submitting to Lender the proposed instrument creating such easement, right of way, covenant, condition, license or other right, accompanied by a survey in recordable form showing the exact location thereof and such other information as Lender may reasonably request and (ii) obtaining the prior written approval of Lender. With respect to utility easements which are required in connection with the completion of construction and/or operation of the Improvements, Lender agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent and agrees to provide, and cause the Trustee under the Security Instrument to provide, any subordination agreement

​
