Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 31, 2023, LV Peninsula Holding LLC (“LV Peninsula”), a Texas limited liability company and wholly owned affiliate of Safe and Green Development Corporation (“DevCorp.”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Safe & Green Holdings Corp.(the “Company”), pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated March 30, 2023 (the “Loan Agreement”), issued a promissory note, in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “LV Note”), secured by a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement, dated March 30, 2023 (the “Deed of Trust”) on DevCorp.’s Lake Travis project site in Lago Vista, Texas, a related Assignment of Contract Rights, dated March 30, 2023 (“Assignment of Rights”), on DevCorp.’s Lake Travis project site in Lago Vista, Texas and McLean site in Durant, Oklahoma and a Mortgage, dated March 30, 2023 (“Mortgage”), on DevCorp.’s McLean site in Durant, Oklahoma .

 

The proceeds of the LV Note were used to pay off SG DevCorp.’s outstanding Real Estate Lien Note, dated July 14, 2021, in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Short-Term Note”), on the Lake Travis project site in Lago Vista, Texas and its Second Lien Note, dated September 8, 2022, in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “Second Short-Term Note”), on the Lake Travis project site in Lago Vista, Texas. The LV Note requires monthly installments of interest only and is due on April 1, 2024 and bears interest at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (currently 8.0%) plus five and 50/100 percent (5.50%), currently equaling 13.5%; provided that in no event will the interest rate be less than a floor rate of 13.5%. The LV Peninsula obligations under the LV Note have been guaranteed by SG DevCorp. pursuant to a Guaranty, dated March 30, 2023 (the “Guaranty”), and may be prepaid by LV Peninsula at any time without interest or penalty.

 

The net loan proceeds were approximately $1,337,000, after loan commission fees of $250,000, broker fees of $125,000, the escrow of a 12-month $675,000 interest reserve, other closing fees and the repayment of the Short-Term Note and Second Short-Term Note.

  10119 Lake Creek Parkway, Ste 202
  Austin, Texas 78729
   
Principal Amount: $5,000,000.00
   
Annual Interest Rate: WSJ Prime (currently 8.00%) plus Five and 50/100 percent
  (5.50%) per annum, currently equaling Thirteen and 50/100 percent (13.50%)
   
Floor Rate: The interest rate will never be below Thirteen and 50/100 percent (13.50%) regardless of the Prime Interest Rate falling below 8.00%.
   
Maturity Date: April 1, 2024

 

Annual Interest Rate on Matured, Unpaid Amounts:

 

Matured or accelerated unpaid, and past due, principal and interest shall bear interest from date of maturity or acceleration until paid at the highest non- usurious rate allowed by state or federal law, or if no such rate is established, at a rate per annum equal to eighteen percent (18.00%) per annum

 

Terms of Payment (principal and interest):

 

Interest only shall be due and payable in monthly installments based on principal advanced, or more, plus tax escrow in the amount of $7,843.59, commencing on May 1, 2023 and continuing regularly thereafter on the same date of each month until April 1, 2024, when the entire amount hereof, principal and interest then remaining unpaid, shall be due and payable. Payments will be applied first to accrued interest and the remainder to reduction of the Principal Amount.

 

Borrower may prepay this note in any amount at any time before the Maturity Date without penalty or premium. Any installment becomes overdue for more than 10 days, at Lender’s option a late payment charge of 5% may be charged in order to defray the expense of handling the delinquent payment.

The interest rate on this Note shall be adjusted monthly (“the Interest Adjustment Date”) provided the maturity of this Note has not been accelerated. The Interest Rate Adjustment shall be on the 1st day of each month until this Note is fully paid.

 

Index:

 

The Prime Interest Rate means the annual rate of interest identified as the “U.S. prime rate” in the “Money Rates” column published in the Wall Street Journal. If the published prime rate is expressed on the applicable date as a range, the prime rate for purposes of this note will be the average between the high and low of that range. If the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a prime rate, Lender may refer to another similar source to identify the prime rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks and apply that rate.

 

Adjustment of Monthly Installments:

 

The Lender shall adjust the amount of the monthly installment payments on the next payment date following the Interest Rate Adjustment Date on which a change in the interest is made.

 

Notice of Rate Adjustment and Adjustment in Monthly Installments:

 

The Lender is not required to send a separate written notice of an interest rate change other than changing the interest rate on the monthly payment statements sent to the Borrower.

4. maintain all insurance coverages with respect to the Property, revenues generated by the Property, and operations on the Property that Lender reasonably requires (“Required Insurance Coverages”), issued by insurers and written on policy forms acceptable to Lender, and as to property loss, that are payable to Lender under policies containing standard mortgagee clauses, and deliver evidence of the Required Insurance Coverages in a form acceptable to Lender at least ten days before the expiration of the Required Insurance Coverages;

B.Lender’s Rights

 

1. Lender or Lender’s mortgage servicer may appoint in writing one or more substitute trustees, succeeding to all rights and responsibilities of Trustee. Such written appointments need not be filed in the Official Public Records of the county where the property is located or in any other public or governmental records in order to be effective. All rights, remedies and duties of Trustee under this Deed of Trust may be exercised or performed by one or more trustees acting alone or together.

 

a.Lender, at its option and with or without cause, may from time to time, by power of attorney or otherwise, remove or substitute any trustee, add one or more trustees, or appoint a successor trustee to any Trustee without the necessity of any formality other than a designation by Lender in writing. Without any further act or conveyance of the Property the substitute, additional or successor trustee shall become vested with the title, rights, remedies, powers and duties conferred upon Trustee herein and by Applicable Law.

 

b.Neither the Trustee named herein nor any Trustee who may act hereunder shall in any way be disqualified from acting as such Trustee for the reason that he may now be, may become or at any applicable time may be a manager, director, an officer, an employee, a shareholder, an agent, or an attorney of Lender or may be otherwise related to Lender.

 

Page 3 of 13

 

 

c.Trustee shall not be liable if acting upon any notice, request, consent, demand, statement or other document believed by Trustee to be correct. Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission unless such act or omission is willful.

 

2. If the proceeds of the Obligation are used to pay any debt secured by prior liens, Lender is subrogated to all the rights and liens of the holders of any debt so paid.

 

3. Lender may apply any proceeds received under the property insurance policies covering the Property either to reduce the Obligation or to repair or replace damaged or destroyed improvements covered by the policy. If the Property is Grantor’s primary residence and Lender reasonably determines that repairs to the improvements are economically feasible, Lender will make the property insurance proceeds available to Grantor for repairs.

 

4. Notwithstanding the terms of the Note to the contrary, and unless applicable law prohibits, all payments received by Lender from Grantor with respect to the Obligation or this deed of trust may, at Lender’s discretion, be applied first to amounts payable under this deed of trust and then to amounts due and payable to Lender with respect to the Obligation, to be applied to late charges, principal, or interest in the order Lender in its discretion determines.

 

5. If Grantor fails to perform any of Grantor’s obligations, Lender may perform those obligations and be reimbursed by Grantor on demand for any amounts so paid, including attorney’s fees, plus interest on those amounts from the dates of payment at the rate stated in the Note for matured, unpaid amounts. The amount to be reimbursed will be secured by this deed of trust.

 

6. COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE NOTICE

 

In accordance with the provisions of section 307.052(a) of the Texas Finance Code, the Lender hereby notifies the Grantor as follows:

 

(A) the Grantor is required to:

 

(i)keep the collateral insured against damage in the amount the Lender specifies;

 

(ii)purchase the insurance from an insurer that is authorized to do business in the state of Texas or an eligible surplus lines insurer; and

 

(iii)name the Lender as the person to be paid under the policy in the event of a loss;

 

(B) the Grantor must, if required by the Lender, deliver to the Lender a copy of the policy and proof of the payment of premiums; and

 

(C) if the Grantor fails to meet any requirement listed in Paragraph (A) or (B), the Lender may obtain collateral protection insurance on behalf of the Grantor at the Grantor’s expense.

 

Page 4 of 13

 

 

7. If there is a default on the Obligation or if Grantor fails to perform any of Grantor’s obligations and the default continues after any required notice of the default and the time allowed to cure, Lender may—

 

a.declare the unpaid principal balance and earned interest on the Obligation immediately due;

 

b.exercise Lender’s rights with respect to rent under the Texas Property Code as then in effect;

 

c.direct Trustee to foreclose this lien, in which case Lender or Lender’s agent will cause notice of the foreclosure sale to be given as provided by the Texas Property Code as then in effect; and

 

d.purchase the Property at any foreclosure sale by offering the highest bid and then have the bid credited on the Obligation.

 

8. Lender may remedy any default without waiving it and may waive any default without waiving any prior or subsequent default.

 

9. Protection of Lender’s Interest in the Property and Rights Under this Security Instrument. If (a) Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Security Instrument, (b) there is a legal proceeding that might significantly affect Lender’s interest in the Property and/or rights under this Security Instrument (such as a proceeding in bankruptcy, probate, for condemnation or forfeiture, for enforcement of a lien which may attain priority over this Security Instrument or to enforce laws or regulations), or (c) Borrower has abandoned the Property, then Lender may do and pay for whatever is reasonable or appropriate to protect Lender’s interest in the Property and rights under this Security Instrument, including protecting and/or assessing the value of the Property, and securing and/or repairing the Property. Lender’s actions can include, but are not limited to: (a) paying any sums secured by a lien which has priority over this Security Instrument; (b) appearing in court; and (c) paying reasonable attorneys’ fees to protect its interest in the Property and/or rights under this Security Instrument, including its secured position in a bankruptcy proceeding. Securing the Property includes, but is not limited to, entering the Property to make repairs, change locks, replace or board up doors and windows, drain water from pipes, eliminate building or other code violations or dangerous conditions, and have utilities turned on or off. Although Lender may take action under this Section 9, Lender does not have to do so and is not under any duty or obligation to do so. It is agreed that Lender incurs no liability for not taking any or all actions authorized under this Section 9.

 

Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 9 shall become additional debt of Borrower secured by this Security Instrument. These amounts shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of disbursement and shall be payable, with such interest, upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment.

4. be indemnified, held harmless, and defended by Lender against all costs, expenses, and liabilities incurred by Trustee for acting in the execution or enforcement of the trust created by this deed of trust, which includes all court and other costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Trustee in defense of any action or proceeding taken against Trustee in that capacity.

 

D.General Provisions

 

1. If any of the Property is sold under this deed of trust, Grantor must immediately surrender possession to the purchaser. If Grantor fails to do so, Grantor will become a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, subject to an action for forcible detainer.

 

2. Recitals in any trustee’s deed conveying the Property will be presumed to be true.

 

3. Proceeding under this deed of trust, filing suit for foreclosure, or pursuing any other remedy will not constitute an election of remedies.

 

4. This lien will remain superior to liens later created even if the time of payment of all or part of the Obligation is extended or part of the Property is released.

 

5. If any portion of the Obligation cannot be lawfully secured by this deed of trust, payments will be applied first to discharge that portion.

6. Grantor assigns to Lender all amounts payable to or received by Grantor from condemnation of all or part of the Property, from private sale in lieu of condemnation, and from damages caused by public works or construction on or near the Property. After deducting any expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees and court and other costs, Lender will either release any remaining amounts to Grantor or apply such amounts to reduce the Obligation. Lender will not be liable for failure to collect or to exercise diligence in collecting any such amounts. Grantor will immediately give Lender notice of any actual or threatened proceedings for condemnation of all or part of the Property.

 

7. Grantor collaterally assigns to Lender all present and future rent from the Property and its proceeds. Grantor warrants the validity and enforceability of the assignment. Grantor will apply all rent to payment of the Obligation and performance of this deed of trust, but if the rent exceeds the amount due with respect to the Obligation and the deed of trust, Grantor may retain the excess. If a default exists in payment of the Obligation or performance of this deed of trust, Lender may exercise Lender’s rights with respect to rent under the Texas Property Code as then in effect. Lender neither has nor assumes any obligations as lessor or landlord with respect to any occupant of the Property. Lender may exercise Lender’s rights and remedies under this paragraph without taking possession of the Property. Lender will apply all rent collected under this paragraph as required by the Texas Property Code as then in effect. Lender is not required to act under this paragraph, and acting under this paragraph does not waive any of Lender’s other rights or remedies.

 

8. Interest on the debt secured by this deed of trust will not exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received under law. Any interest in excess of that maximum amount will be credited on the principal of the debt or, if that has been paid, refunded. On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any such excess will be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or, if already paid, credited on the principal of the debt or, if the principal of the debt has been paid, refunded. This provision overrides any conflicting provisions in this and all other instruments concerning the debt.

 

9. In no event may this deed of trust secure payment of any debt that may not lawfully be secured by a lien on real estate or create a lien otherwise prohibited by law.

 

10. Grantor may not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any Property, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lender. If granted, consent may be conditioned upon (a) the grantee’s integrity, reputation, character, creditworthiness, and management ability being satisfactory to Lender; and (b) the grantee’s executing, before such sale, transfer, or other disposition, a written assumption agreement containing any terms Lender may require, such as a principal pay down on the Obligation, an increase in the rate of interest payable with respect to the Obligation, a transfer fee, or any other modification of the Note, this deed of trust, or any other instruments evidencing or securing the Obligation.

 

Grantor may not cause or permit any Property to be encumbered by any liens, security interests, or encumbrances other than the liens securing the Obligation and the liens securing ad valorem taxes not yet due and payable without the prior written consent of Lender. If granted, consent may be conditioned upon Grantor’s executing, before granting such lien, a written modification agreement containing any terms Lender may require, such as a principal pay down on the Obligation, an increase in the rate of interest payable with respect to the Obligation, an approval fee, or any other modification of the Note, this deed of trust, or any other instruments evidencing or securing the Obligation.

Grantor may not grant any lien, security interest, or other encumbrance (a “Subordinate Instrument”) covering the Property that is subordinate to the liens created by this deed of trust without the prior written consent of Lender. If granted, consent may be conditioned upon the Subordinate Instrument’s containing express covenants to the effect that—

 

a.the Subordinate Instrument is unconditionally subordinate to this deed of trust;

 

b.if any action is instituted to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Instrument, no action may be taken that would terminate any occupancy or tenancy without the prior written consent of Lender, and that consent, if granted, may be conditioned in any manner Lender determines;

 

c.rents, if collected by or for the holder of the Subordinate Instrument, will be applied first to the payment of the Obligation then due and to expenses incurred in the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Property in any order Lender may determine, before being applied to any indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Instrument;

 

d.written notice of default under the Subordinate Instrument and written notice of the commencement of any action to foreclose or otherwise enforce the Subordinate Instrument must be given to Lender concurrently with or immediately after the occurrence of any such default or commencement; and

 

e.in the event of the bankruptcy of Grantor, all amounts due on or with respect to the Obligation and this deed of trust will be payable in full before any payments on the indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Instrument.

 

Grantor may not cause or permit any of the following events to occur without the prior written consent of Lender: if Grantor is (a) a corporation, the dissolution of the corporation or the sale, pledge, encumbrance, or assignment of any shares of its stock; (b) a limited liability company, the dissolution of the company or the sale, pledge, encumbrance, or assignment of any of its membership interests; (c) a general partnership or joint venture, the dissolution of the partnership or venture or the sale, pledge, encumbrance, or assignment of any of its partnership or joint venture interests, or the withdrawal from or admission into it of any general partner or joint venturer; or (d) a limited partnership, (i) the dissolution of the partnership, (ii) the sale, pledge, encumbrance, or assignment of any of its general partnership interests, or the withdrawal from or admission into it of any general partner, (iii) the sale, pledge, encumbrance, or assignment of a controlling portion of its limited partnership interests, or (iv) the withdrawal from or admission into it of any controlling limited partner or partners. If granted, consent may be conditioned upon (a) the integrity, reputation, character, creditworthiness, and management ability of the person succeeding to the ownership interest in Grantor (or security interest in such ownership) being satisfactory to Lender; and (b) the execution, before such event, by the person succeeding to the interest of Grantor in the Property or ownership interest in Grantor (or security interest in such ownership) of a written modification or assumption agreement containing such terms as Lender may require, such as a principal pay down on the Obligation, an increase in the rate of interest payable with respect to the Obligation, a transfer fee, or any other modification of the Note, this deed of trust, or any other instruments evidencing or securing the Obligation.

13. This deed of trust binds, benefits, and may be enforced by the successors in interest of all parties.

19. Grantor represents that this deed of trust and the Note are given for the following purposes:

 

The Note renews and extends the balance that Grantor owes on a prior note in the original principal amount of TWO MILLION DOLLARS and 00/100 ($2,000,000.00), which is dated July 14, 2021, executed by SGB DEVELOPMENT CORP., a Delaware corporation, and payable to WEINRITTER REALTY, LP, a Texas limited partnership. Prior note is more fully described in and secured by a deed of trust on the Property, which is dated of even date, and recorded under Document Number 2021157556 of the Real Property Records of Travis County, Texas. Additionally, this Note renews and extends the balance that Grantor owes on a second lien note in the original principal amount of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND and 00/100 Dollars, which is dated September 8, 2022, executed by SGB DEVELOPMENT CORP, a Delaware limited liability company, and payable to WEINRITTER REALTY, LP, a Texas limited partnership. Prior second lien is more fully described in and secured by a deed of trust on the Property, which is dated of even date, and recorded under Document Number 2022152151, Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas. The balance of the indebtedness is for closing costs, interest carry, and cash out of the Property.

 

Page 9 of 13

 

 

Grantor warrants to Lender and agrees that the proceeds of the Note will be used primarily for business or commercial purposes and not primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

 

Grantor warrants to Lender that the Property will not be used as the Grantor’s residence during the term of the Obligation.

 

20. This conveyance is also made in trust to secure payment of all other present and future debts that Grantor may owe to Lender, regardless of how any other such debt is incurred or evidenced. Payment on all present and future debts of Grantor to Lender will be made and the debts will bear interest as provided in notes or other evidences of debt that Grantor will give to Lender. This conveyance is also made to secure payment of any renewal or extension of any present or future debt that Grantor owes to Lender, including any loans and advancements from Lender to Grantor under the provisions of this deed of trust. When Grantor repays all debts owed to Lender, this deed-of-trust lien will terminate only if Lender releases this deed of trust at the request of Grantor. Until Lender releases it, this deed of trust will remain fully in effect to secure other present and future advances and debts, regardless of any additional security given for any debt and regardless of any modification.

 

21. Grantor agrees to make an initial deposit in a reasonable amount to be determined by Lender and then make monthly payments to a fund for taxes on the Property. Monthly payments will be made on the payment dates specified in the Note, and each payment will be one-twelfth of the amount that Lender estimates will be required annually for payment of taxes. The fund will accrue no interest, and Lender will hold it without bond in escrow and use it to pay the taxes. If Grantor has complied with the requirements of this paragraph, Lender must pay taxes before the end of the calendar year. Grantor agrees to make additional deposits on demand if the fund is ever insufficient for its purpose. If an excess accumulates in the fund, Lender may either credit it to future monthly deposits until the excess is exhausted or refund it to Grantor. When Grantor makes the final payment on the Note, Lender will credit to that payment the whole amount then in the fund or, at Lender’s option, refund it after the Note is paid. If this deed of trust is foreclosed, any balance in the fund over that needed to pay taxes, including taxes accruing but not yet payable, and to pay insurance premiums will be paid under part C, “Trustee’s Rights and Duties.” Deposits to the fund described in this paragraph are in addition to the monthly payments provided for in the Note.

 

22. Grantor hereby grants Lender a right of first refusal with respect to Grantor’s power to authorize any third party (other than Lender pursuant to its rights as set forth in this instrument) to pay ad valorem taxes on the Property and authorize a taxing entity to transfer its tax lien on the Property to that third party. Grantor’s authorization to any third party (other than Lender) to pay the ad valorem taxes and receive transfer of a taxing entity’s lien for ad valorem taxes shall be null and void and of no force and effect unless Lender, within ten days after receiving written notice from Grantor, fails to pay the ad valorem taxes pursuant to Lender’s rights as set forth in this instrument.

22.23.

Grantor shall not cause or permit the presence, use, disposal, storage, or release of any Hazardous Substances, or threaten to release any Hazardous Substances, on or in the Property. Grantor shall not do, nor allow anyone else to do, anything affecting the Property (a) that is in violation of any Environmental Law, (b) which creates an Environmental Condition, or (c) which, due to the presence, use, or release of a Hazardous Substance, creates a condition that adversely affects the value of the Property. The preceding two sentences shall not apply to the presence, use, or storage on the Property of small quantities of Hazardous Substances that are generally recognized to be appropriate to normal residential uses and to maintenance of the Property (including, but not limited to, hazardous substances in consumer products).

 

Grantor shall promptly give Lender written notice of (a) any investigation, claim, demand, lawsuit or other action by any governmental or regulatory agency or private party involving the Property and any Hazardous Substance or Environmental Law of which Grantor has actual knowledge, (b) any Environmental Condition, including but not limited to, any spilling, leaking, discharge, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substance, and (c) any condition caused by the presence, use or release of a Hazardous Substance which adversely affects the value of the Property. If Grantor learns, or is notified by any governmental or regulatory authority, or any private party, that any removal or other remediation of any Hazardous Substance affecting the Property is necessary, Grantor shall promptly take all necessary remedial actions in accordance with Environmental Law. Nothing herein shall create any obligation on Lender for an Environmental Cleanup.

 

24. Grantor agrees to deliver to Lender, at Lender’s request from time to time, financial statements of Grantor and each guarantor of the Note prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, in detail reasonably satisfactory to Lender and certified to be true and correct by Grantor.

GRANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS (i) UNDER THIS DEED OF TRUST OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR (ii) ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. GRANTOR AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS DEED OF TRUST ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

 

26. Venue. Debtor agrees that this Loan shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Texas at Lender’s mailing address indicated at the beginning of this Deed of Trust and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas and is performable in Williamson County, Texas. In any litigation in connection with or to enforce this Deed of Trust, the Note, or any Loan Documents, Grantors, and any guarantors irrevocably consent to and confer personal jurisdiction on the courts of the State of Texas or the United States courts located within the State of Texas. Nothing contained herein shall, however, prevent Lender from bringing any action or exercising any rights within any other state or jurisdiction or from obtaining personal jurisdiction by any other means available under applicable law.

27. Cross-Collateral; Cross Default. Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions of this Deed of Trust, and for clarification, Grantor agrees that this Deed of Trust is pledged as security for any and all other sums, indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of any and every kind now or hereafter existing owing and to become due, from any or all of Grantor or any of its successors, assigns, members, managers, guarantors, or affiliates (collectively, the “Grantor Parties”) to Lender or to assignees thereof, howsoever created, whether under this Deed of Trust, the Loan Documents or any other instrument, obligation, contract, guarantee or agreement of any and every kind among any of the Grantor Parties and Lender, and whether direct, indirect, primary or secondary, fixed or contingent and any renewals, modifications or extensions of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or therein neither any Guaranty nor any Environmental Indemnity referenced in the Loan Documents nor any other similar agreement between Grantor or any of its Affiliates and Lender or any of its Affiliates are secured by this Deed of Trust and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, all obligations arising under any such documents bare unsecured obligations. A default, not cured within any applicable curative period by any of the Grantor Parties, as applicable, in any such other instrument, obligation, contract, guarantee or agreement of any kind now or hereafter existing among any of the Grantor Parties and Lender, shall constitute a default hereunder and, in like manner, a default hereunder not cured within any applicable curative period shall constitute a default under the terms of such other instrument, obligation, contract, guarantee or agreement. All property of any of the Grantor Parties which stands as security for any of the loans made by Lender to any of the Grantor Parties, whether currently existing or hereafter advanced, shall stand as cross collateral security for all such loans.

 

28. The lien created by this deed of trust will be cross collateralized with the lien securing payment of ONE MILLION and 00/100 out of the Promissory Note in the original principal amount of FIVE MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00), which is dated of even date, executed by LV PENINSULA HOLDING, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, payable to the order of AUSTERRA STABLE GROWTH FUND, LP, and more fully described in and securing said loan with a mortgage with power of sale, of even date, against the following described property, to-wit;

In the event any such taxes shall be or remain unpaid for a period of thirty (30) days after payment thereof is due, the Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such taxes or assessments, and all interest and penalties then due thereon, and collect the same from the Mortgagor, with interest accruing thereto at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

D. Insurance.

 

(1) Required Coverage. The Mortgagor further covenants and agrees to, at all times during the term of this Mortgage, continuously maintain casualty, public liability and other insurance coverage on the Property described in the Loan Agreement.

All certificates of required insurance shall be reviewed and approved by the Mortgagee, which review shall include, without limitation, the insurance companies, the amounts, contents and form of certificates and expiration dates, and the issuance of a mortgagee’s loss payable endorsement in favor of the Mortgagee. The Mortgagee shall also be named as an additional insured upon request. Premiums on acceptable policies of insurance must be fully paid in advance, and evidence of payment shall be delivered to the Mortgagee prior to the execution hereof. Such policy or policies of insurance shall contain a clause that the insurer will not cancel or change the insurance without first giving the Mortgagee at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice. A copy of such policies of insurance shall be delivered to the Mortgagee prior to the execution hereof.

Such insurance proceeds or any part thereof received by the Mortgagee may, at the Mortgagee’s option, be applied upon the indebtedness secured hereby in such manner as the Mortgagee may elect, or be applied in restoring, rebuilding or repairing the property damaged, or be released to the Mortgagor. In the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage or upon transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment of the indebtedness secured hereby, all right, title and interest of the Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies then in force will pass to the purchaser or grantee. This Mortgage further secures the obligation of the Mortgagor pursuant to such covenants and agreements.

 

E. Title and Priority of Mortgage. The Mortgagor further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees with the Mortgagee that this Mortgage is prior and superior to all other liens and encumbrances of every nature and kind whatsoever except taxes and assessments not yet due and easements and rights of way of record as of the date hereof. The Mortgagor will defend the title to the Property and the priority and validity of the lien of this Mortgage against all claims or demands whatsoever and will promptly pay and discharge any and all claims or liens which may subsequently be asserted against any portion of the Property which is then subject to the lien of this Mortgage. This Mortgage further secures such covenant and warranty of title and priority of this Mortgage.

1.Guarantor agrees to pay, when due or declared due, the Guaranteed Indebtedness to Lender at Lender’s Mailing Address.

 

2.Guarantor waives (a) diligence in preserving liability of any person on the Guaranteed Indebtedness and in collecting or bringing suit to collect the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (b) all rights of Guarantor under chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code and rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code; (c) protest; (d) notice of extensions, increases, renewals, or rearrangements of the Guaranteed Indebtedness; and (e) notice of acceptance of this guaranty, of creation of the Guaranteed Indebtedness, of failure to pay the Guaranteed Indebtedness as it matures, of any other default, of adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition, of release or substitution of collateral, of intent to accelerate, of acceleration, and of subordination of Lender’s rights in any collateral, and every other notice of every kind. Guarantor’s obligations under this guaranty will not be altered nor will Lender be liable to Guarantor because of any action or inaction of Lender in regard to a matter waived or of which notice is waived by Guarantor in the preceding sentence.

 

 

 

 

3.Guarantor agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and other collection costs if this guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection. If any party retains an attorney to enforce this guaranty, the party prevailing in litigation is entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and court and other costs.

 

4.This guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.

 

5.Lender need not resort to Borrower or any other person or proceed against collateral before pursuing its rights against Guarantor or any other guarantor. Lender’s action or inaction with respect to any right of Lender under the law or any agreement will not alter the obligation of Guarantor hereunder. Lender may pursue any remedy against Borrower or any collateral or under any other guaranty without altering the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and without liability to Guarantor, even though Lender’s pursuit of such remedy may result in Guarantor’s loss of rights of subrogation or to proceed against others for reimbursement of contribution or any other right.

 

6.Guarantor will remain liable for the Guaranteed Indebtedness even though the Guaranteed Indebtedness may be unenforceable against or uncollectible from Borrower or any other person because of incapacity, lack of power or authority, discharge, or any other reason.

 

7.Guarantor consents and acknowledges that Guarantor’s obligations will not be released by (a) the renewal, extension, or modification of the Guaranteed Indebtedness or any of the Loan Documents; (b) the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, or dissolution of Borrower or any other obligor; (c) the failure of Lender to properly obtain, perfect, or preserve any security interest or lien in any collateral for the Guaranteed Indebtedness; (d) the release, substitution, or addition of any collateral for the Guaranteed Indebtedness; or (e) the failure of Lender to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness, or reasonable care in the preservation, enforcement, or sale of any of the collateral.

 

8.Lender need not notify Guarantor that Lender has sued Borrower, but if Lender gives written notice to Guarantor that it has sued Borrower, Guarantor will be bound by any judgment or decree, to the extent permitted by law.

 

9.Lender may sue any guarantor without impairing Lender’s rights against any other guarantor, with or without making Borrower a party. Lender may settle with Borrower or any other guarantor for such amounts as it may elect or may release Borrower or any guarantor or any collateral securing the Guaranteed Indebtedness without impairing Lender’s right to collect the Guaranteed Indebtedness from Guarantor.

 

10.This guaranty binds Guarantor and Guarantor’s heirs, successors, and assigns, and it benefits and may be enforced by Lender and Lender’s successors in interest. When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural. This guaranty will be construed under the laws of the state of Texas, without regard to choice-of-law rules of any jurisdiction. The provisions of this guaranty are severable. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that any provision of this guaranty is unenforceable, then the remaining provisions will remain in effect without the unenforceable parts.

 

11.FINAL AGREEMENT: THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

(NASDAQ: SGBX) (“Safe & Green Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular structures, today announced that the Company has executed an agreement to refinance its Lago Vista site, located on Lake Travis in the greater Austin, Texas area, via Stallion Funding, a private real estate finance company based in the area.

 

Paul Galvin, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Safe & Green Holdings Corp. commented, “Since its initial purchase for approximately $3.5 million, the Lago Vista site’s value has experienced significant appreciation due to the tremendous growth experienced in the Austin, Texas area. As a result, we were able to refinance and increase our loan on the site at a similar interest rate, providing us with approximately $2.0 million in net proceeds, further strengthening the Company’s cash position. The new note is secured by the Lago Vista property and our mixed-use McLean site in Durant, Oklahoma.”

 

“We believe this transaction demonstrates the value of our real estate assets, and our ability to secure non-dilutive debt financing. Moreover, we are progressing with the planned sale of the Lago Vista site, which would further strengthen our balance sheet. Overall, we have built a highly scalable business model and remain firmly committed to minimizing dilution by leveraging our growing asset base.”

 

The loan transaction is expected to close on March 31, 2023. The Company will provide further updates on the site in the near future, as able.
