Borrower may contest in good faith any such law, ordinance, or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s sole opinion, Lender’s interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender’s interest.
Inspection. Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower’s other properties and to examine or audit Borrower’s books, accounts, and records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower’s books, accounts, and records.

LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Borrower’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity.

Agreements. Enter into any agreement containing any provisions which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or in connection herewith.
CESSATION OF ADVANCES.

BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT | ||
(Continued) | Page 6 |
STATUTORY LIEN. Borrower agrees that all loan advances under this Agreement are secured by all shares and deposits in all joint and individual accounts Borrower has with Lender now and in the future. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to apply the balance in these accounts to pay any amounts due under this Agreement when Borrower is in default under this Agreement. Shares and deposits in an Individual Retirement Account and any other account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security are not subject to the security interest Borrower has given in Borrower’s shares and deposits.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Loan.
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower’s or any Grantor’s property or Borrower’s or any Grantor’s ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
Death or Insolvency. The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of whether election to continue is made), any member withdraws from Borrower, or any other termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business or the death of any member, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Loan is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender’s option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in the “Insolvency” subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

Arbitration. Borrower and Lender agree that all disputes, claims and controversies between them whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising from this Agreement or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time the claim is filed, upon request of either party.

This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims, or controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or exercise of any right, concerning any Collateral, including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the Collateral, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.

Costs and expenses include Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services.

Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Agreement.
Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender’s sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower’s obligation under the Loan irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan. Borrower further agrees that the purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce its interests irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have against Lender.
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Agreement has been accepted by Lender in the State of North Carolina.
Choice of Venue. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Mecklenburg County, State of North Carolina.
No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Borrower’s or any Grantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable.

Exhibit 10.13
PROMISSORY NOTE
Borrower: | Red Fox MHP LLC | Lender: | Charlotte Metro Federal Credit Union 718 Central Avenue |
136 Main Street | Charlotte, NC 28204 | ||
Pineville, NC 28134 |
Principal Amount: $2,250,000.00 | Date of Note: July 29, 2022 |
PROMISE TO PAY. Red Fox MHP LLC (“Borrower”) promises to pay to Charlotte Metro Federal Credit Union (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($2,250,000.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from July 29, 2022, until paid in full.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule, which calculates interest on the unpaid principal balances as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using the interest rates described in this paragraph: 24 monthly consecutive interest payments, beginning September 1, 2022, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.250% per annum; 95 monthly consecutive principal and interest payments of $13,483.07 each, beginning September 1, 2024, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.250% per annum; and one principal and interest payment of $1,831,129.31 on August 1, 2032, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate of 5.250% per annum. This estimated final payment is based on the assumption that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled; the actual final payment will be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any other unpaid amounts under this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any late charges; then to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; and then to any unpaid collection costs. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
INTEREST RATE. The interest rate of 5.25% is an initial rate that shall remain fixed for five years from the date of the loan. On July 29, 2027, the interest rate may be adjusted one time for an additional five years. The adjusted rate will be based on the borrower’s financial condition, market conditions, and interest rates at that time. Notwithstanding the payment terms set forth herein above, Borrower is aware and fully understands that the monthly payments and the last estimated payment may change due to the potential interest rate change that may occur on July 29, 2027 as set forth herein.
INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over the number of days in a year (365 for all years, including leap years), multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower’s making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Charlotte Metro Federal Credit Union, 718 Central Avenue Charlotte, NC 28269.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 8.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $25.00, whichever is greater.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, at Lender’s option, and if permitted by applicable law, Lender may add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased rate). Upon default, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding an additional 2.000 percentage point margin (“Default Rate Margin”). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default. After maturity, or after this Note would have matured had there been no default, the Default Rate Margin will continue to apply to the final interest rate described in this Note. If judgment is entered in connection with this Note, interest will continue to accrue after the date of judgment at the rate in effect at the time judgment is entered. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.
PROMISSORY NOTE | ||
Loan No: 865137-01 | (Continued) | Page 2 |

Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower’s property or Borrower’s ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower’s obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.
GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of North Carolina.
CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Mecklenburg County, State of North Carolina.
DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $33.00 if Borrower makes a payment on Borrower’s loan and the check or preauthorized charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.
STATUTORY LIEN. Borrower agrees that all loan advances under this Note are secured by all shares and deposits in all joint and individual accounts Borrower has with Lender now and in the future. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to apply the balance in these accounts to pay any amounts due under this Note when Borrower is in default under this Note. Shares and deposits in an Individual Retirement Account and any other account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security are not subject to the security interest Borrower has given in Borrower’s shares and deposits.

DEED OF TRUST | ||
Loan No: 865137-01 | (Continued) | Page 4 |
Right to Contest. Grantor may withhold payment of any tax, assessment, or claim in connection with a good faith dispute over the obligation to pay, so long as Lender’s interest in the Property is not jeopardized. If a lien arises or is filed as a result of nonpayment, Grantor shall within fifteen (15) days after the lien arises or, if a lien is filed, within fifteen (15) days after Grantor has notice of the filing, secure the discharge of the lien, or if requested by Lender, deposit with Lender cash or a sufficient corporate surety bond or other security satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the lien plus any costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, or other charges that could accrue as a result of a foreclosure or sale under the lien. In any contest, Grantor shall defend itself and Lender and shall satisfy any adverse judgment before enforcement against the Property. Grantor shall name Lender as an additional obligee under any surety bond furnished in the contest proceedings.
Evidence of Payment. Grantor shall upon demand furnish to Lender satisfactory evidence of payment of the taxes or assessments and shall authorize the appropriate governmental official to deliver to Lender at any time a written statement of the taxes and assessments against the Property.
Notice of Construction. Grantor shall notify Lender at least fifteen (15) days before any work is commenced, any services are furnished, or any materials are supplied to the Property, if any mechanic’s lien, materialmen’s lien, or other lien could be asserted on account of the work, services, or materials. Grantor will upon request of Lender furnish to Lender advance assurances satisfactory to Lender that Grantor can and will pay the cost of such improvements.
PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE. The following provisions relating to insuring the Property are a part of this Deed of Trust.
Maintenance of Insurance. Grantor shall procure and maintain policies of fire insurance with standard extended coverage endorsements on a replacement basis for the full insurable value covering all Improvements on the Real Property in an amount sufficient to avoid application of any coinsurance clause, and with a standard mortgagee clause in favor of Lender. Grantor shall also procure and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance in such coverage amounts as Lender may request with Trustee and Lender being named as additional insureds in such liability insurance policies. Additionally, Grantor shall maintain such other insurance, including but not limited to hazard, business interruption, and boiler insurance, as Lender may reasonably require. Policies shall be written in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Granter, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. Should the Real Property be located in an area designated by the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, Grantor agrees to obtain and maintain flood insurance, if available, for the full unpaid principal balance of the loan and any prior liens on the property securing the loan, up to the maximum policy limits set under the National Flood Insurance Program, or as otherwise required by Lender, and to maintain such insurance for the term of the loan. Flood insurance may be purchased under the National Flood Insurance Program, from private insurers providing “private flood insurance” as defined by applicable federal flood insurance statutes and regulations, or from another flood insurance provider that is both acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and permitted by applicable federal flood insurance statutes and regulations.

Loan No: 865137-01 | (Continued) | Page 5 |
Application of Proceeds. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Property. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. Whether or not Lender’s security is impaired, Lender may, at Lender’s election, receive and retain the proceeds of any insurance and apply the proceeds to the reduction of the Indebtedness, payment of any lien affecting the Property, or the restoration and repair of the Property. If Lender elects to apply the proceeds to restoration and repair, Grantor shall repair or replace the damaged or destroyed Improvements in a manner satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of such expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration if Grantor is not in default under this Deed of Trust. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within 180 days after their receipt and which Lender has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Property shall be used first to pay any amount owing to Lender under this Deed of Trust, then to pay accrued interest, and the remainder, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the Indebtedness. If Lender holds any proceeds after payment in full of the Indebtedness, such proceeds shall be paid to Grantor as Grantor’s interests may appear.
Grantor’s Report on Insurance. Upon request of Lender, however not more than once a year, Grantor shall furnish to Lender a report on each existing policy of insurance showing: (1) the name of the insurer; (2) the risks insured; (3) the amount of the policy; (4) the property insured, the then current replacement value of such property, and the manner of determining that value; and (5) the expiration date of the policy.

Express Power of Sale Provision. Upon the application or request of Lender, it shall be lawful for and the duty of the Trustee, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, to expose to sale and to sell the Property at public auction for cash, after having first complied with all applicable requirements of North Carolina law with respect to the exercise of powers of sale contained in deeds of trust or such other sales appropriate under the circumstances; and upon any such sale, the Trustee shall convey title to the purchaser in fee simple. In the event of any sale under this Deed of Trust by virtue of the exercise of the powers granted in this Deed of Trust, or pursuant to any order and any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its sole discretion may elect. Trustee shall be authorized to hold a sale pursuant to North Carolina General Statute Chapter 45. If Trustee so elects, Trustee may sell the Property covered by this Deed of Trust at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by applicable North Carolina law, and any exercise of the powers granted in this Deed of Trust shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire Property is sold or the Indebtedness is paid in full. If such Indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security instruments, Lender may at its option exercise the remedies granted under any of the security agreements either concurrently or independently and in such order as Lender may determine.
Foreclosure. With respect to all or any part of the Real Property, the Trustee shall have the right to foreclose by notice and sale, and Lender shall have the right to foreclose by judicial foreclosure, in either case in accordance with and to the full extent provided by applicable law.

In furtherance of this right, Lender may require any tenant or other user of the Property to make payments of rent or use fees directly to Lender. If the Rents are collected by Lender, then Granter irrevocably designates Lender as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received in payment thereof in the name of Granter and to negotiate the same and collect the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender’s demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed. Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either in person, by agent, or through a receiver.
Appoint Receiver.

The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Lender’s right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.

Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses. If Lender institutes any suit or action to enforce any of the terms of this Deed of Trust, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys’ fees at trial and upon any appeal.

A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Deed of Trust shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Deed of Trust.

Loan No: 865137-01 | (Continued) | Page 3 |
FULL PERFORMANCE. If Grantor pays all of the Indebtedness when due and otherwise performs all the obligations imposed upon Grantor under this Assignment, the Note, and the Related Documents, Lender shall execute and deliver to Granter a suitable satisfaction of this Assignment and suitable statements of termination of any financing statement on file evidencing Lender’s security interest in the Rents and the Property. Any termination fee required by law shall be paid by Grantor, if permitted by applicable law.
LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s interest in the Property or if Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this Assignment or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor’s failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Assignment or any Related Documents, Lender on Grantor’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Rents or the Property and paying all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Property. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s maturity. The Assignment also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.
DEFAULT. Each of the following, at Lender’s option, shall constitute an Event of Default under this Assignment:
Payment Default. Granter fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness.
Other Defaults. Granter fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Assignment or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Granter.
Default on Other Payments. Failure of Granter within the time required by this Assignment to make any payment for taxes or insurance, or any other payment necessary to prevent filing of or to effect discharge of any lien.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Any guarantor or Granter defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of any guarantor’s or Grantor’s property or ability to perform their respective obligations under this Assignment or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Granter or on Grantor’s behalf under this Assignment or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Assignment or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time and for any reason.
Death or Insolvency.

Loan No: 865137-01 | (Continued) | Page 4 |
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Granter or by any governmental agency against the Rents or any property securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.
Property Damage or Loss. The Property is lost, stolen, substantially damaged, sold, or borrowed against.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Grantor’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law:
Accelerate Indebtedness. Lender shall have the right at its option without notice to Grantor to declare the entire Indebtedness immediately due and payable, including any prepayment penalty that Grantor would be required to pay.
Collect Rents. Lender shall have the right, without notice to Grantor, to take possession of the Property and collect the Rents, including amounts past due and unpaid, and apply the net proceeds, over and above Lender’s costs, against the Indebtedness. In furtherance of this right, Lender shall have all the rights provided for in the Lender’s Right to Receive and Collect Rents Section, above. If the Rents are collected by Lender, then Grantor irrevocably designates Lender as Grantor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse instruments received in payment thereof in the name of Grantor and to negotiate the same and collect the proceeds. Payments by tenants or other users to Lender in response to Lender’s demand shall satisfy the obligations for which the payments are made, whether or not any proper grounds for the demand existed. Lender may exercise its rights under this subparagraph either in person, by agent, or through a receiver.
Appoint Receiver. Lender shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to take possession of all or any part of the Property, with the power to protect and preserve the Property, to operate the Property preceding foreclosure or sale, and to collect the Rents from the Property and apply the proceeds, over and above the cost of the receivership, against the Indebtedness. The receiver may serve without bond if permitted by law. Lender’s right to the appointment of a receiver shall exist whether or not the apparent value of the Property exceeds the Indebtedness by a substantial amount. Employment by Lender shall not disqualify a person from serving as a receiver.
Other Remedies. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies provided in this Assignment or the Note or by law.
Election of Remedies. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Assignment, after Grantor’s failure to perform, shall not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.
Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses. If Lender institutes any suit or action to enforce any of the terms of this Assignment, Lender shall be entitled to recover such sum as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorneys’ fees at trial and upon any appeal. Whether or not any court action is involved, and to the extent not prohibited by law, all reasonable expenses Lender incurs that in Lender’s opinion are necessary at any time for the protection of its interest or the enforcement of its rights shall become a part of the Indebtedness payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of the expenditure until repaid. Expenses covered by this paragraph include, without limitation, however subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services, the cost of searching records, obtaining title reports (including foreclosure reports), surveyors’ reports, and appraisal fees, title insurance, and fees for the Trustee, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Grantor also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

Loan No: 865137-01 |
Page 2 | |
(Continued) |
CONTINUING GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. For good and valuable consideration, Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees full and punctual payment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and the performance and discharge of all Borrower’s obligations under the Note and the Related Documents. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, so Lender can enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even when Lender has not exhausted Lender’s remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Indebtedness, this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Indebtedness. Guarantor will make any payments to Lender or its order, on demand, in legal tender of the United States of America, in same-day funds, without set-off or deduction or counterclaim, and will otherwise perform Borrower’s obligations under the Note and Related Documents. Under this Guaranty, Guarantor’s liability is unlimited and Guarantor’s obligations are continuing.
INDEBTEDNESS. The word “Indebtedness” as used in this Guaranty means all of the principal amount outstanding from time to time and at any one or more times, accrued unpaid interest thereon and all collection costs and legal expenses related thereto permitted by law, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from any and all debts, liabilities and obligations of every nature or form, now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, that Borrower individually or collectively or interchangeably with others, owes or will owe Lender. “Indebtedness” includes, without limitation, loans, advances, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credit card indebtedness, lease obligations, liabilities and obligations under any interest rate protection agreements or foreign currency exchange agreements or commodity price protection agreements, other obligations, and liabilities of Borrower, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, future advances, loans or transactions that renew, extend, modify, refinance, consolidate or substitute these debts, liabilities and obligations whether: voluntarily or involuntarily incurred; due or to become due by their terms or acceleration; absolute or contingent; liquidated or unliquidated; determined or undetermined; direct or indirect; primary or secondary in nature or arising from a guaranty or surety; secured or unsecured; joint or several or joint and several; evidenced by a negotiable or non-negotiable instrument or writing; originated by Lender or another or others; barred or unenforceable against Borrower for any reason whatsoever; for any transactions that may be voidable for any reason (such as infancy, insanity, ultra vires or otherwise); and originated then reduced or extinguished and then afterwards increased or reinstated.
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives additional guaranties from Guarantor, Lender’s rights under all guaranties shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall not (unless specifically provided below to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other guaranties. Guarantor’s liability will be Guarantor’s aggregate liability under the terms of this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.
CONTINUING GUARANTY. THIS IS A “CONTINUING GUARANTY” UNDER WHICH GUARANTOR AGREES TO GUARANTEE THE FULL AND PUNCTUAL PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OF BORROWER TO LENDER, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING OR ACQUIRED, ON AN OPEN AND CONTINUING BASIS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY PAYMENTS MADE ON THE INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY FOR ANY REMAINING AND SUCCEEDING INDEBTEDNESS EVEN WHEN ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS MAY BE A ZERO BALANCE FROM TIME TO TIME.
COMMERCIAL GUARANTY
Loan No: 865137-01 |
Page 3 | |
(Continued) |
DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all the Indebtedness incurred or contracted before receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all of Guarantor’s other obligations under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor’s written notice of revocation must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Lender’s address listed above or such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Written revocation of this Guaranty will apply only to new Indebtedness created after actual receipt by Lender of Guarantor’s written revocation. For this purpose and without limitation, the term “new Indebtedness” does not include the Indebtedness which at the time of notice of revocation is contingent, unliquidated, undetermined or not due and which later becomes absolute, liquidated, determined or due. For this purpose and without limitation, “new Indebtedness” does not include all or part of the Indebtedness that is: incurred by Borrower prior to revocation; incurred under a commitment that became binding before revocation; any renewals, extensions, substitutions, and modifications of the Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall bind Guarantor’s estate as to the Indebtedness created both before and after Guarantor’s death or incapacity, regardless of Lender’s actual notice of Guarantor’s death. Subject to the foregoing, Guarantor’s executor or administrator or other legal representative may terminate this Guaranty in the same manner in which Guarantor might have terminated it and with the same effect. Release of any other guarantor or termination of any other guaranty of the Indebtedness shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from any one or more Guarantors shall not affect the liability of any remaining Guarantors under this Guaranty. It is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that reductions in the amount of the Indebtedness, even to zero dollars ($0.00), shall not constitute a termination of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor’s heirs, successors and assigns so long as any of the Indebtedness remains unpaid and even though the Indebtedness may from time to time be zero dollars ($0.00).
GUARANTOR’S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER.

Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral including, but not limited to, any rights or defenses arising by reason of (A) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law or any other law which may prevent Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Guarantor, before or after Lender’s commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (B) any election of remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise adversely affects Guarantor’s subrogation rights or Guarantor’s rights to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the Indebtedness; (C) any disability or other defense of Borrower, of any other guarantor, or of any other person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrower’s liability from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full in legal tender, of the Indebtedness; (D) any right to claim discharge of the Indebtedness on the basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for the Indebtedness; (E) any statute of limitations, if at any time any action or suit brought by Lender against Guarantor is commenced, there is outstanding Indebtedness which is not barred by any applicable statute of limitations; or (F) any defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Indebtedness.

GUARANTOR’S UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS. Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor’s full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy.
SUBORDINATION OF BORROWER’S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR. Guarantor agrees that the Indebtedness, whether now existing or hereafter created, shall be superior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may have against Borrower, upon any account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may now or hereafter have against Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent liquidation of the assets of Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the payment of the claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to the Indebtedness. Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which it may have or acquire against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in bankruptcy of Borrower; provided however, that such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose of assuring to Lender full payment in legal tender of the Indebtedness. If Lender so requests, any notes or credit agreements now or hereafter evidencing any debts or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender. Guarantor agrees, and Lender is hereby authorized, in the name of Guarantor, from time to time to file financing statements and continuation statements and to execute documents and to take such other actions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its rights under this Guaranty.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Guaranty:
Amendments. This Guaranty, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Guaranty. No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.
Arbitration. Borrower and Guarantor and Lender agree that all disputes, claims and controversies between them whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising from this Guaranty or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time the claim is filed, upon request of either party. No act to take or dispose of any Collateral shall constitute a waiver of this arbitration agreement or be prohibited by this arbitration agreement. This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Any disputes, claims, or controversies concerning the lawfulness or reasonableness of any act, or exercise of any right, concerning any Collateral, including any claim to rescind, reform, or otherwise modify any agreement relating to the Collateral, shall also be arbitrated, provided however that no arbitrator shall have the right or the power to enjoin or restrain any act of any party. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing in this Guaranty shall preclude any party from seeking equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. The statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, and similar doctrines which would otherwise be applicable in an action brought by a party shall be applicable in any arbitration proceeding, and the commencement of an arbitration proceeding shall be deemed the commencement of an action for these purposes. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

Attorneys’ Fees; Expenses. Guarantor agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help enforce this Guaranty, and Guarantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Guarantor also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court.
Caption Headings. Caption headings in this Guaranty are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Guaranty.
Governing Law. This Guaranty will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of North Carolina without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
Choice of Venue. If there is a lawsuit, Guarantor agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Mecklenburg County, State of North Carolina.
Integration. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor has read and fully understands the terms of this Guaranty; Guarantor has had the opportunity to be advised by Guarantor’s attorney with respect to this Guaranty; the Guaranty fully reflects Guarantor’s intentions and parol evidence is not required to interpret the terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from all losses, claims, damages, and costs (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of any breach by Guarantor of the warranties, representations and agreements of this paragraph.
Interpretation. In all cases where there is more than one Borrower or Guarantor, then all words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall be deemed to have been used in the plural where the context and construction so require; and where there is more than one Borrower named in this Guaranty or when this Guaranty is executed by more than one Guarantor, the words “Borrower” and “Guarantor” respectively shall mean all and any one or more of them. The words “Guarantor,” “Borrower,” and “Lender” include the heirs, successors, assigns, and transferees of each of them. If a court finds that any provision of this Guaranty is not valid or should not be enforced, that fact by itself will not mean that the rest of this Guaranty will not be valid or enforced. Therefore, a court will enforce the rest of the provisions of this Guaranty even if a provision of this Guaranty may be found to be invalid or unenforceable. If any one or more of Borrower or Guarantor are corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, or similar entities, it is not necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or Guarantor or of the officers, directors, partners, managers, or other agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed under this Guaranty.
Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Guaranty shall be given in writing, and, except for revocation notices by Guarantor, shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Guaranty. All revocation notices by Guarantor shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery to Lender as provided in the section of this Guaranty entitled “DURATION OF GUARANTY.” Any party may change its address for notices under this Guaranty by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party’s address. For notice purposes, Guarantor agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Guarantor’s current address. Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one Guarantor, any notice given by Lender to any Guarantor is deemed to be notice given to all Guarantors.

No Waiver by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Guaranty unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Guaranty shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Guaranty. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Guarantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any of Guarantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Guaranty, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
Successors and Assigns. Subject to any limitations stated in this Guaranty on transfer of Guarantor’s interest, this Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.

2. | The title exceptions appearing in Buyer’s title commitment for the Property (as last revised by the Title Company) for which Buyer does not make or waives any Title Objection (as defined below) or any Additional Title Objection (as defined below) in accordance with this Agreement. |
For the avoidance of doubt, the Permitted Exceptions shall exclude the following matters (regardless of whether Buyer makes any Title Objection or Additional Title Objection with respect to such matters) (collectively, the “Mandatory Cure Items”): (i) any existing deeds of trust, mortgages, liens or other monetary encumbrances affecting the Property; (ii) delinquent taxes or assessments; (iii) unrecorded leases or possessory rights, except as set forth in the current rent roll for the Property; and (iv) liens or potential lien rights for any contractors, materialmen or brokers.
B. | Title Objections. |
1. | Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer may obtain a title insurance commitment and a current survey of the Property, and Buyer may notify Seller of any objections to title or survey matters affecting the Property (“Title Objections”). Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer, to remove or cure any such Title Objection at or prior to Closing (a “Cure Item”). If Seller does not agree in writing to remove or cure any Title Objection within five (5) days after Buyer’s delivery of such Title Objection, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such Title Objection, and any time thereafter Buyer may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Holder shall promptly refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or (ii) waive such Title Objection and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, Seller shall be required to satisfy or cure any Mandatory Cure Items at or prior to Closing, regardless of whether Buyer objects to the same, and any such Mandatory Cure Items shall be deemed Cure Items. |
2. | Buyer shall have the right to update the title commitment and survey for the Property after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing. If any such title commitment update or survey update reveals any additional title or survey matters affecting the Property which were not previously disclosed in Buyer’s title commitment or survey, then Buyer may notify Seller of any objections to any such additional title or survey matters (“Additional Title Objections”) notwithstanding the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer, to remove or cure any such Additional Title Objection at or prior to Closing (an “Additional Cure Item”). If Seller does not agree in writing to remove or cure any Additional Title Objection within five (5) days after Buyer’s delivery of such Additional Title Objection, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such Additional Title Objection, and any time thereafter Buyer may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Holder shall promptly refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or (ii) waive such Additional Title Objection and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, Seller shall be required to remove or cure any Additional Title Objection relating to any title or survey matter that first affects the Property or that first appears in the public record after the Effective Date, and any such title or survey matter shall be deemed an Additional Cure Item. |
Buyer(s) Initials: /s/ AM | Seller(s) Initials:/s/ BK |
3. | Seller shall have until the Closing to cure or satisfy all Cure Items and Additional Cure Items, as applicable. If Seller fails to cure any Cure Item or Additional Cure Item, as applicable, at or prior to Closing (and fails to provide Buyer with evidence of Seller’s cure satisfactory to Buyer and to the Title Company), then Buyer may elect in its sole discretion by delivering written notice to Seller: (1) to exercise Buyer’s remedies under Section 17.B with respect to such failure by Seller, which shall be deemed a default by Seller under this Agreement; (2) to waive such failure and proceed to Closing; or (3) to extend the Closing Date up to thirty (30) days as determined by Buyer to allow Seller further time to cure such Cure Item or Additional Cure Item, as applicable. |
12. | Casualty Prior to Closing. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, Seller shall give Buyer prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include Seller’s reasonable estimate of: (1) the cost to restore and repair the damage; (2) the amount of insurance proceeds, if any, available for the same; and (3) whether the damage can be repaired prior to Closing. Within ten (10) days after receiving any such notice from Seller, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller of such termination. In such event, Holder shall promptly refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) day period, Seller shall promptly make any agreed-upon repairs and replacements in a good and workmanlike manner prior to Closing, and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted Property with the damage (subject to any such agreed-upon repairs by Seller) and shall receive at Closing: (1) a credit against the Purchase Price for any insurance proceeds which have been paid to Seller but have not been spent on any agreed-upon repairs; (2) an assignment of Seller’s claim for all unpaid insurance proceeds; and (3) a credit against the Purchase Price for any unpaid deductible that may be required in connection with any such unpaid insurance proceeds. |
13. | Representations and Warranties. |
A. | Seller’s Representations and Warranties: Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows: |
1. | Seller has full authority to sign this Agreement and all documents to be executed by Seller as contemplated by this Agreement.

To Seller’s knowledge, each Lease is in full force and effect and there are no defaults or events that with notice or lapse of time or both which constitute a default by Seller or the tenant under such Leases.

C. | Survival Period. Seller and Buyer agree to promptly notify the other party if, prior to Closing, Seller or Buyer learns that any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement is no longer true or correct in any material respect. Seller’s and Buyer’s representations and warranties in this Section 13 shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date, and shall be deemed true and correct as of the Closing Date as if remade by separate certification at that time, and shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”). If Buyer or Seller provides written notice to the other party asserting a breach of any such representation or warranty on or before termination of the Survival Period, then such representation or warranty shall not terminate with respect to the matters described in such written notice until such matters are fully and finally resolved by negotiation, settlement, litigation or other appropriate proceedings. |
14. | Brokerage. Buyer and Seller represent and warrant to each other that there are no brokers involved in this transaction except for the Buyer’s Broker (if any) and the Seller’s Broker (if any) listed in Section 1 of this Agreement. Buyer shall defend, indemnify, and hold Seller harmless from any and all claims asserted by any other broker or sales agent as a result of Buyer’s actions in connection with this Agreement. Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer harmless from and against any and all claims asserted by any other broker or sales agent as a result of Seller’s actions in connection with this Agreement. These indemnities shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. |
15. | Assignment. Buyer may transfer or assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement at any time. |
16. | Notices. |
A. | All Notices Must Be in Writing. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement, including but not limited to amendments, demands, notices of termination and other notices, shall be in writing. A party’s legal counsel may deliver any notice on behalf of such party. |
B. | Method of Delivery of Notice. Subject to limitations and conditions set forth herein, notices may only be delivered: (1) in person; (2) by an overnight delivery service; (3) by e-mail; or (4) by registered or certified U.S. mail, prepaid, return receipt requested. |

17. | Default. |
A. | Seller’s Pre-Closing Remedy for Buyer Default. If Buyer defaults in its obligation to close and pay the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages, in which event the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein with respect to any obligations which are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement). Buyer and Seller agree that, due to the nature of this transaction, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages Seller would sustain should Buyer default in its obligation to purchase the Property. Buyer and Seller agree that liquidated damages are appropriate for this transaction and agree that the Earnest Money represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Seller would sustain by virtue of Buyer’s failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Property. |
B. | Buyer’s Pre-Closing Remedies for Seller Default. If Seller breaches any representation or warranty under this Agreement or fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy prior to Closing, either (a) to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer an amount equal to the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, which reimbursement obligation of Seller shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of any intentional or willful default by Seller, the remedy of specific performance is not available to Buyer, then Buyer shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity with respect to such intentional or willful default by Seller. |
C. | Post-Closing Remedies for Default. If, after the Closing, Seller or Buyer fails to perform any of its obligations which expressly survive the Closing, or if either party discovers a breach of a representation or warranty during the Survival Period, then Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, may exercise any remedies available to it at law or in equity, including specific performance or an action for damages. |
D. | Notice and Cure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no breach, failure or default by Buyer or Seller (as applicable, the “Defaulting Party”) shall result in the exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to such breach, failure or default, unless and until the Defaulting Party shall be notified in writing by a document from the other party entitled “Notice of Default” (including reasonable specifics about the breach, failure or default), and the Defaulting Party shall have failed to cure the specified breach, failure or default within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice. |
18. | Other Provisions. |
A. | Entire Agreement and Modification: This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto, supersedes all of their prior written and verbal agreements and shall be binding upon the parties and their successors, heirs and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except upon the written agreement of Buyer and Seller. |
B. | Governing Law and Interpretation: This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original. No provision herein, by virtue of the party who drafted it, shall be interpreted less favorably against one party than another. All references to time shall mean Eastern Time. The governing law shall be those of the state in which the Property is located. |
Buyer(s) Initials: /s/ AM | Seller(s) Initials:/s/ BK |
C. | Time of Essence: Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement. |
D. | Determination of Time Periods. In calculating any period of time provided for in this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the number of days shall refer to calendar days and not business days. If any day scheduled for performance of any obligation or the last day of any other period of time falls on a weekend or holiday observed by national banks or banks in the state where the Property is located, the day for performance shall be extended to the next business day. |
E. | Terminology: As the context may require in this Agreement: (1) the singular shall mean the plural and vice versa; and (2) all pronouns shall mean and include the person, entity, firm, or corporation to which they relate. |
F. | Duty to Cooperate: Seller and Buyer agree to do all things reasonably necessary and in good faith before and after Closing (including executing and delivering such additional documents as required by law or as reasonably requested by the other party) to fulfill the terms of this Agreement and carry out the intent and purpose of the parties as set forth in this Agreement. |
G. | Electronic Signatures: For all purposes herein, an electronic or facsimile signature shall be deemed the same as an original signature; provided, however, that each party agrees to promptly re-execute a conformed copy of this Agreement with original signatures if requested to do so by the other party. |
H. | Tax Deferred Exchange. Upon the request of either party, the parties agree to execute and deliver all documents and perform such acts as are reasonably necessary to enable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to qualify as a like kind exchange of real property under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (an “Exchange”). The requesting party shall bear all additional expenses incurred by the non-exchanging party arising out of the Exchange which would not otherwise have been attendant to this transaction, and the non-exchanging party shall not be required to incur any additional cost or liability in connection with such Exchange. Closing shall not be delayed as a result of any such Exchange. If the requesting party is unsuccessful in its efforts to structure this transaction as an Exchange, such occurrence shall not be deemed or construed as the failure of a condition precedent to that party’s obligations under this Agreement and Closing shall proceed without the intended Exchange. |
I. | Attorneys’ Fees. In the event suit is brought to enforce or interpret all or any part of this Agreement, or if suit is brought for any other relief permitted hereunder, the prevailing party in such suit shall be entitled to recover reasonably attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such suit to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. |
J. | Memorandum of Purchase Agreement. Upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly execute and deliver (including any notary acknowledgments and witnesses, as applicable) a Memorandum of Purchase Agreement in such form as reasonably requested by Buyer (the “Memorandum”). The Memorandum shall be in recordable form and shall contain, without limitation, (i) the names of the parties to this Agreement; (ii) a reference to this Agreement and the Effective Date; and (iii) a description of the Property. Buyer shall be authorized to execute the Memorandum and record the Memorandum in the public records where the Property is located. |
Buyer(s) Initials: /s/ AM | Seller(s) Initials:/s/ BK |
19. | Title to Park-Owned Homes. Seller will use best efforts to obtain certificates of title to all Park-Owned Homes prior to Closing. Seller will convey ownership to Buyer of all Park-Owned Homes by delivery of the certificates of title or a bill of sale or both, together with any DMV forms, powers of attorney or other documentation that may be reasonably necessary to transfer title to such Park-Owned Homes. For each Park-Owned Home for which Seller is unable to provide a certificate of title at Closing, a portion of Seller’s proceeds at Closing equal to the amount of $5,000 (each, a “Park-Owned Home Offset”) shall be retained by Holder and shall not be disbursed to Seller at Closing. Each Park-Owned Home Offset shall be held by Holder until the earlier of (a) sixty (60) days after the Closing Date or (b) the date on which Seller provides evidence satisfactory to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion, that title to the applicable Park-Owned Home has been transferred to Buyer (each, a “Park-Owned Home Contingency”). If a Park-Owned Home Contingency is satisfied by the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the related Park-Owned Home Offset shall be delivered by Holder to Seller. If a Park-Owned Home Contingency is not satisfied by the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the related Park-Owned Home Offset shall be delivered by Holder to Buyer. |

1. | The lien of ad valorem taxes that are not yet due and payable; and |
2. | The title exceptions appearing in Buyer’s title commitment for the Property (as last revised by the Title Company) for which Buyer does not make or waives any Title Objection (as defined below) or any Additional Title Objection (as defined below) in accordance with this Agreement. |
For the avoidance of doubt, the Permitted Exceptions shall exclude the following matters (regardless of whether Buyer makes any Title Objection or Additional Title Objection with respect to such matters) (collectively, the “Mandatory Cure Items”): (i) any existing deeds of trust, mortgages, liens or other monetary encumbrances affecting the Property; (ii) delinquent taxes or assessments; (iii) unrecorded leases or possessory rights, except as set forth in the current rent roll for the Property; and (iv) liens or potential lien rights for any contractors, materialmen or brokers.

Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer, to remove or cure any such Title Objection at or prior to Closing (a “Cure Item”). If Seller does not agree in writing to remove or cure any Title Objection within five (5) days after Buyer’s delivery of such Title Objection, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such Title Objection, and any time thereafter Buyer may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Holder shall promptly refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or (ii) waive such Title Objection and proceed to Closing.

Buyer(s) Initials: /s/ AM | Seller(s) Initials:/s/ BK |
2. | Buyer shall have the right to update the title commitment and survey for the Property after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to Closing. If any such title commitment update or survey update reveals any additional title or survey matters affecting the Property which were not previously disclosed in Buyer’s title commitment or survey, then Buyer may notify Seller of any objections to any such additional title or survey matters (“Additional Title Objections”) notwithstanding the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer, to remove or cure any such Additional Title Objection at or prior to Closing (an “Additional Cure Item”). If Seller does not agree in writing to remove or cure any Additional Title Objection within five (5) days after Buyer’s delivery of such Additional Title Objection, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove or cure such Additional Title Objection, and any time thereafter Buyer may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Holder shall promptly refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement or (ii) waive such Additional Title Objection and proceed to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, Seller shall be required to remove or cure any Additional Title Objection relating to any title or survey matter that first affects the Property or that first appears in the public record after the Effective Date, and any such title or survey matter shall be deemed an Additional Cure Item. |
3. | Seller shall have until the Closing to cure or satisfy all Cure Items and Additional Cure Items, as applicable. If Seller fails to cure any Cure Item or Additional Cure Item, as applicable, at or prior to Closing (and fails to provide Buyer with evidence of Seller’s cure satisfactory to Buyer and to the Title Company), then Buyer may elect in its sole discretion by delivering written notice to Seller: (1) to exercise Buyer’s remedies under Section 17.B with respect to such failure by Seller, which shall be deemed a default by Seller under this Agreement; (2) to waive such failure and proceed to Closing; or (3) to extend the Closing Date up to thirty (30) days as determined by Buyer to allow Seller further time to cure such Cure Item or Additional Cure Item, as applicable. |
12. | Casualty Prior to Closing. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, Seller shall give Buyer prompt notice thereof, which notice shall include Seller’s reasonable estimate of: (1) the cost to restore and repair the damage; (2) the amount of insurance proceeds, if any, available for the same; and (3) whether the damage can be repaired prior to Closing. Within ten (10) days after receiving any such notice from Seller, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller of such termination. In such event, Holder shall promptly refund the Earnest Money to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further obligations or liability under this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) day period, Seller shall promptly make any agreed-upon repairs and replacements in a good and workmanlike manner prior to Closing, and Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted Property with the damage (subject to any such agreed-upon repairs by Seller) and shall receive at Closing: (1) a credit against the Purchase Price for any insurance proceeds which have been paid to Seller but have not been spent on any agreed-upon repairs; (2) an assignment of Seller’s claim for all unpaid insurance proceeds; and (3) a credit against the Purchase Price for any unpaid deductible that may be required in connection with any such unpaid insurance proceeds. |
13. | Representations and Warranties. |
A. | Seller’s Representations and Warranties: Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows: |
1. | Seller has full authority to sign this Agreement and all documents to be executed by Seller as contemplated by this Agreement.

Buyer and Seller agree that, due to the nature of this transaction, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages Seller would sustain should Buyer default in its obligation to purchase the Property. Buyer and Seller agree that liquidated damages are appropriate for this transaction and agree that the Earnest Money represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Seller would sustain by virtue of Buyer’s failure to perform its obligation to purchase the Property. |
B. | Buyer’s Pre-Closing Remedies for Seller Default. If Seller breaches any representation or warranty under this Agreement or fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy prior to Closing, either (a) to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money Deposit, and Seller shall reimburse Buyer an amount equal to the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, which reimbursement obligation of Seller shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as a result of any intentional or willful default by Seller, the remedy of specific performance is not available to Buyer, then Buyer shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity with respect to such intentional or willful default by Seller. |
C. | Post-Closing Remedies for Default. If, after the Closing, Seller or Buyer fails to perform any of its obligations which expressly survive the Closing, or if either party discovers a breach of a representation or warranty during the Survival Period, then Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, may exercise any remedies available to it at law or in equity, including specific performance or an action for damages. |
D. | Notice and Cure. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no breach, failure or default by Buyer or Seller (as applicable, the “Defaulting Party”) shall result in the exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to such breach, failure or default, unless and until the Defaulting Party shall be notified in writing by a document from the other party entitled “Notice of Default” (including reasonable specifics about the breach, failure or default), and the Defaulting Party shall have failed to cure the specified breach, failure or default within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice. |
18. | Other Provisions. |
A. | Entire Agreement and Modification: This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto, supersedes all of their prior written and verbal agreements and shall be binding upon the parties and their successors, heirs and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except upon the written agreement of Buyer and Seller. |
B. | Governing Law and Interpretation: This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original. No provision herein, by virtue of the party who drafted it, shall be interpreted less favorably against one party than another. All references to time shall mean Eastern Time. The governing law shall be those of the state in which the Property is located. |
C. | Time of Essence: Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement. |
D. | Determination of Time Periods. In calculating any period of time provided for in this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the number of days shall refer to calendar days and not business days. If any day scheduled for performance of any obligation or the last day of any other period of time falls on a weekend or holiday observed by national banks or banks in the state where the Property is located, the day for performance shall be extended to the next business day. |
E. | Terminology: As the context may require in this Agreement: (1) the singular shall mean the plural and vice versa; and (2) all pronouns shall mean and include the person, entity, firm, or corporation to which they relate. |
F. | Duty to Cooperate: Seller and Buyer agree to do all things reasonably necessary and in good faith before and after Closing (including executing and delivering such additional documents as required by law or as reasonably requested by the other party) to fulfill the terms of this Agreement and carry out the intent and purpose of the parties as set forth in this Agreement. |
G. | Electronic Signatures: For all purposes herein, an electronic or facsimile signature shall be deemed the same as an original signature; provided, however, that each party agrees to promptly re-execute a conformed copy of this Agreement with original signatures if requested to do so by the other party. |

H. | Tax Deferred Exchange. Upon the request of either party, the parties agree to execute and deliver all documents and perform such acts as are reasonably necessary to enable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to qualify as a like kind exchange of real property under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (an “Exchange”). The requesting party shall bear all additional expenses incurred by the non-exchanging party arising out of the Exchange which would not otherwise have been attendant to this transaction, and the non-exchanging party shall not be required to incur any additional cost or liability in connection with such Exchange. Closing shall not be delayed as a result of any such Exchange. If the requesting party is unsuccessful in its efforts to structure this transaction as an Exchange, such occurrence shall not be deemed or construed as the failure of a condition precedent to that party’s obligations under this Agreement and Closing shall proceed without the intended Exchange. |
I. | Attorneys’ Fees. In the event suit is brought to enforce or interpret all or any part of this Agreement, or if suit is brought for any other relief permitted hereunder, the prevailing party in such suit shall be entitled to recover reasonably attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such suit to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. |
J. | Memorandum of Purchase Agreement. Upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall promptly execute and deliver (including any notary acknowledgments and witnesses, as applicable) a Memorandum of Purchase Agreement in such form as reasonably requested by Buyer (the “Memorandum”). The Memorandum shall be in recordable form and shall contain, without limitation, (i) the names of the parties to this Agreement; (ii) a reference to this Agreement and the Effective Date; and (iii) a description of the Property. Buyer shall be authorized to execute the Memorandum and record the Memorandum in the public records where the Property is located. |
19. | Title to Park-Owned Homes. Seller will use best efforts to obtain certificates of title to all Park-Owned Homes prior to Closing. Seller will convey ownership to Buyer of all Park-Owned Homes by delivery of the certificates of title or a bill of sale or both, together with any DMV forms, powers of attorney or other documentation that may be reasonably necessary to transfer title to such Park-Owned Homes. For each Park-Owned Home for which Seller is unable to provide a certificate of title at Closing, a portion of Seller’s proceeds at Closing equal to the amount of $5,000 (each, a “Park-Owned Home Offset”) shall be retained by Holder and shall not be disbursed to Seller at Closing. Each Park-Owned Home Offset shall be held by Holder until the earlier of (a) sixty (60) days after the Closing Date or (b) the date on which Seller provides evidence satisfactory to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion, that title to the applicable Park-Owned Home has been transferred to Buyer (each, a “Park-Owned Home Contingency”). If a Park-Owned Home Contingency is satisfied by the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the related Park-Owned Home Offset shall be delivered by Holder to Seller. If a Park-Owned Home Contingency is not satisfied by the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the related Park-Owned Home Offset shall be delivered by Holder to Buyer. |

BORROWER INFORMATION

NOTE. This Commercial Promissory Note will be referred to in this document as the “Note.”
LENDER. “Lender” means United Bank whose address is 125 Trade Ct Suite E, Mooresville, North Carolina 28117, its successors and assigns.
BORROWER “Borrower” means each person or legal entity who signs this Note.
PROMISE TO PAY. For value received, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, on or before the Maturity Date, the Borrower promises to pay the principal amount of One Million One Hundred Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,125,000.00) or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced by Lender, from time to time, to or on behalf of Borrower under the terms of this Note, and all interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other charges, including service charges, to the order of Lender at its office at the address noted above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. The Borrower will make all payments in lawful money of the United States of America.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE. This Note will be paid according to the following schedule: 12 consecutive payments of interest only beginning on July 30, 2022 and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter. This will be followed by 107 consecutive payments of principal and interest in the amount of $7,470.39 beginning on July 30, 2023 and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter. This amount may change on July 30, 2027 and every 5 years thereafter. One final balloon payment shall be due on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the then unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest. All payments received by the Lender from the Borrower for application to this Note may be applied to the Borrower’s obligations under this Note in such order as determined by the Lender.
INTEREST RATE AND SCHEDULED PAYMENT CHANGES. Interest will begin to accrue on June 30, 2022. The initial variable interest rate on this Note will be 5.000% per annum. This interest rate may change on June 30, 2027, and every 5 years thereafter. Each date on which the interest rate may change is called the “Change Date.” Prior to each Change Date, Lender will calculate the new interest rate based on the following index: the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 70% of the 10 largest U.S. banks known as the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate in effect on the Change Date (the “Index”) plus 1.000 percentage points (the “Margin”). The interest rate will never be less than 5.000%.
If the Index is not available at the time of the Change Date, Lender will choose a new Index which is based on comparable information. The Index is used solely to establish a base from which the actual rate of interest payable under the Note will be calculated, and is not a reference to any actual rate of interest charged by any lender to any particular borrower.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as to require the Borrower to pay interest at a greater rate than the maximum allowed by law. If, however, from any circumstances, Borrower pays interest at a greater rate than the maximum allowed by law, the obligation to be fulfilled will be reduced to an amount computed at the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law and if, for any reason whatsoever, Lender ever receives interest in an amount which would be deemed unlawful under applicable law, such interest shall be automatically applied to amounts owed, in Lender’s sole discretion, or as otherwise allowed by applicable law. An increase in the interest rate will result in a higher payment amount. Interest on this Note is calculated on an Actual/360 day basis. This calculation method results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric interest rate stated in this Note.
LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any required payment is more than 15 days late, then at Lender’s option, Lender will assess a late payment charge of 4.000% of the am01.mt past due.
PREPAYMENT PENALTY. This Note is subject to a prepayment penalty. Payment of all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other fees then outstanding prior to the Maturity Date will result in a penalty that shall be equal to: The Borrower shall have the privilege to pay the principal amount of the loan in full (or in part) in the 1st year subject to a five percent (5%) prepayment premium, in the 2nd year to a four percent (4%) prepayment premium, in the 3rd year to a three percent (3%) prepayment premium, in the 4th year to a two percent (2%) prepayment premium, in the 5th year to a one percent (1%) prepayment premium with no prepayment premium being in effect after the 5th year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prepayment premium shall be waived on that portion of the loan which is prepaid from net operating income of the business operations of the Borrower/Guarantor.

Subject to the terms of this Note and all of the related agreements, advances under this Note are obligatory. Regardless of the obligatory nature of this Note, principal advances will not be made to the Borrower if any of the following conditions exist:
● | The maximum amount on this Note has been reached or is outstanding. |
● | Borrower has breached any of the terms, provisions, representations, requirements or promises contained in this Note or any other agreement. |
● | Borrower makes a request for an advance after the Maturity Date. |
● | The Note or any other agreement relating to the extension of credit is in default. |
● | The Lender has deemed itself insecure or there has been a material adverse change of conditions. |
● | The Lender is precluded by law from making the advance. |
Advances under this Note may be requested orally or in writing by the Borrower or by an authorized person.
The total of any advance requested and unpaid principal cannot exceed the available principal amount. The available principal amount refeJN to the principal amount minus the aggregate amount of outstanding advances.
All advances will be charged to a loan account in Borrower’s name on Lender’s books, and the Lender shall debit in such account the amount of each advance made to, and credit to such account the amount of each repayment made by Borrower. The Lender shall provide to Borrower a monthly statement of Borrower’s loan account, which shall be deemed to be correct, accepted by, and binding upon Borrower unless Lender receives a written statement of exception from Borrower within 10 days after such statement is furnished.

Such right of set-off may be exercised by Lender against Borrower or against any assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against Borrower or such assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off has not been exercised by Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance or service upon Lender of, or of notice of, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena or order or warrant. Lender will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because Lender set-off a debt against Borrower’s account.
