Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 13, 2020, RW Holdings NNN REIT, Inc. (the “Registrant”), RW Holdings NNN REIT Operating Partnership, LP (“NNN REIT OP”) and certain other subsidiaries of the Registrant amended their Loan and Security Agreement with Pacific Mercantile Bank dated December 19, 2019 (the “Loan Agreement”) to extend the maturity date of $6,940,000 in loans from March 31, 2020 to July 31, 2020, and to extend the maturity date of $3,060,000 in loans from May 4, 2020 to August 31, 2020. As a result of the amendment, a temporary moratorium on new borrowings under the Loan Agreement is in place until October 1, 2020.  In addition, the entering into of the amendment is deemed a “trigger event” under the Loan Agreement and, accordingly, the guaranty, payment and indemnification obligations under the Loan Agreement are now effective; however, if the two loans referenced herein are paid in full in accordance with the amendment, then the trigger event will be deemed cured.

The material terms of the amendments to the Loan Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

3.          Temporary Moratorium on New Purchase Contract Loans and Other Loans.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 1 of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement, no additional Purchase Contract Loans or Other Loans shall be available to Borrower until October 1, 2020.

4.          Triggered Guaranties Are Effective. The entering into of this Amendment by Borrower and Lender is hereby deemed a “Trigger Event” as defined in Section 8(d) of the Schedule to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment Trigger Event”), and the guaranty, payment and indemnification obligations set forth in the Triggered Guaranties are hereby deemed effective; provided that if the October 2019 Purchase Contract Loan and the February 2020 Other Loan are paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Amendment, then the First Amendment Trigger Event shall be deemed cured.

5.          Fee; Expenses. In consideration for Lender entering into this Amendment, Borrower shall concurrently pay Lender a fee in the amount of $20,000, which shall be non-refundable and in addition to all interest and other fees payable to Lender under the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the terms of the Loan Agreement, Borrower agrees to pay all of Lender’s expenses in connection with this Amendment.  Lender is authorized to charge said fee and expenses to Borrower’s loan account or any of Borrower’s deposit accounts with Lender.

6.          Representations True. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that all representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, are true and correct.

7.          General Release. In consideration for Lender entering into this Amendment, Borrower and each of the Guarantors (together with Borrower, individually and collectively, the “Obligor”) hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges Lender, and its successors, assigns, agents, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, affiliates, participants, and each of them (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, costs, expenses, actions and causes of action, of every nature and description, known and unknown, which Obligor now has or at any time may hold, by reason of any matter, cause or thing occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done prior to the date of this Amendment (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Obligor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of any and all statutes and rules of law to the extent the same provide in substance that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of exe-cuting the release, and, without limiting the foregoing, Obligor irrevocably waives any benefits it may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 which provides:  “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”  Obligor represents and warrants that it has not assigned to any other Person any Released Claim, and agrees to indemnify Lender against any and all actions, demands, obligations, causes of action, decrees, awards, claims, liabilities, losses and costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees of counsel of Lender’s choice and costs, which Lender may sustain or incur as a result of a breach or purported breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.  (This Section may be referred to as the “Release Section”.)

The terms and provisions of Sections 9.20 (titled “Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue”) and 9.21 (titled “Dispute Resolution”) of the Loan Agreement shall apply to this Amendment, and the same are incorporated herein by this reference.  This Amendment may be executed and delivered by exchanging original signed counterparts, or signed counterparts by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means, or a combination of the foregoing, and this Amendment shall be fully effective if so executed and delivered.

10.          Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial.  LENDER AND BORROWER EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED.  EACH OF THE PARTIES, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT, WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), ACTION OR INACTION OF ANY OF THEM.  THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY LENDER OR BORROWER, EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY EACH OF THEM.  IF FOR ANY REASON THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE VOID, INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THE SAME SHALL NOT AFFECT ANY OTHER TERM OR PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL OTHER TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE UNAFFECTED BY THE SAME AND CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
