Exhibit 10.17

LOAN AGREEMENT
 
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the 18th day of June, 2020,
by and between SeD HOME & REITS INC., a Delaware corporation, (the "Borrower")
and MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY, a New York banking corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, the "Lender").
 
WITNESSETH:
 
A.           
The Borrower has requested that the Lender establish for the benefit of the
Borrower a non-revolving credit facility in an original principal amount not to
exceed the sum of $2,990,000 (such credit facility, as the same may from time to
time be extended, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, being
hereinafter referred to as the "Loan").
 
B.           
It is a condition precedent, among others, to the agreement of the Lender to
establish the Loan that the Borrower executes and delivers this Agreement in
order to evidence certain understandings between the parties with respect
thereto.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH, that in consideration of the premises
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as
follows:
 
1.           
The Loan. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement,
the Lender agrees to make available to the Borrower the Loan in a principal
amount not to exceed the sum of Two Million Nine Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars
($2,990,000). The proceeds of the Loan shall be evidenced by, shall be advanced
pursuant to, and shall be repaid, with interest, in accordance with, the terms
and conditions set forth in a Promissory Note dated of even date herewith
executed by the Borrower, as maker, in favor of the Lender, as payee, in the
original principal amount of $2,990,000 (such Promissory Note, as the same may
from time to time be extended, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified, being hereinafter referred to as the "Note"). Interest shall accrue
and be payable as provided in the Note only on such portion of the Loan as may
from time to time be advanced and remain outstanding. The Loan is not a
revolving credit. Thus, amounts advanced to or for the account of the Borrower
under the Loan and repaid may not be readvanced.
 
2.           
Purpose of the Loan. The proceeds of the Loan shall be advanced to the Borrower
by the Lender to finance the working capital needs of the Borrower in connection
with its real estate projects. As hereinafter more particularly set forth, at
the time of each request by the Borrower for an advance of a portion of the
proceeds of the Loan, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender a signed draw
request certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and
made a part hereof (a "Draw Request"), accompanied by such information regarding
the project and purposes for which funds are being requested as the Lender may
reasonably request, including without limitation, the proposed budget for such
project and any and all executed instruments, agreements, memoranda of
understandings or other writings relating to such project and such other
information as the Lender may reasonably require. All of such information shall
be subject to the Lender's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
 
3.           
Guaranties and Security. The prompt payment and performance of the obligations
of the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan shall be jointly and severally
guaranteed by SeD MARYLAND DEVELOPMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, (the "Owner") and SeD INTELLIGENT HOME INC., a Nevada corporation, (the
"Additional Guarantor"; the Owner and the Additional Guarantor being hereinafter
sometimes referred to individually as a "Guarantor" and collectively as the
"Guarantors") pursuant to the terms of a Guaranty Agreement dated of even date
herewith executed by the Guarantors in favor of the Lender (such Guaranty
Agreement, as the same may from time to time be extended, amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified, being hereinafter referred to as the
"Guaranty"). The Owner's obligations to the Lender under the Loan and the
Guaranty shall be secured by, among other things, the lien of an Indemnity Deed
of Trust, Assignment and Security Agreement of even date herewith executed by
the Owner, as grantor, in favor of Steven McGuire, Timothy J. Reynolds and
Danielle Frederick, as trustees, for the benefit of the Lender (such Indemnity
Deed of Trust, Assignment and Security Agreement, as the same may from time to
time be extended, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, being
hereinafter referred to as the "Deed of Trust"), covering, among other things,
the Owner's fee simple interest in a residential subdivision located in
Frederick County, Maryland known as "Ballenger Run" (the "Project") containing
single-family and multi-family building lots (individually, a "Lot" and
collectively, the "Lots") and other building parcels (individually, a "Parcel"
and collectively, the "Parcels"), all as more particularly described in the Deed
of Trust (all of such Lots and Parcels, together will all improvements now or
hereafter erected thereon and all other real and personal property at any time
covered by the lien of the Deed of Trust being hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Property"). The lien of the Deed of Trust on the Property
shall be subject only to a prior lien of the Lender arising out of a land
development loan in an original principal amount not to exceed at any one time
outstanding the sum of $8,000,000 and a letter of credit facility in the
aggregate stated amount of $900,000 made by the Lender to the Owner on April 17,
2019 (such land development loan and letter of credit facility, as the same may
be modified, amended, extended or renewed from time to time, being hereinafter
sometimes referred to both individually and collectively as the "Development
Loan"), the proceeds of which are being utilized by the Lender to finance the
development of the Property in accordance with the terms of a Development Loan
Agreement dated April 17, 2019 executed by and between the Owner and the Lender
(such Development Loan Agreement, as the same may from time to time be extended,
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, being hereinafter
referred to as the "Development Loan Agreement").
 
 

 
 
4.           
Cash Collateral Account. In addition to the lien in favor of the Lender on the
Property, the prompt payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower
and the Guarantors to the Lender under the Loan shall be secured by a pledge of
all rights of the Borrower and the Guarantors in and to the cash collateral
account maintained at the Lender designated as Account No. 15004230063014, and
styled "Ballenger Run Collateral Account" (such collateral account, together
with all sums now or hereafter deposited therein, and all interest earned
thereon, being hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Cash Collateral
Account"), which Cash Collateral Account was established, and is required to be
maintained, by the Owner pursuant to the terms of the Development Loan
Agreement. In order to perfect such pledge and assignment, the Borrower and the
Guarantors shall execute and deliver, in favor of the Lender, contemporaneously
herewith, an Assignment and Pledge of Collateral Account pursuant to which the
Borrower and the Guarantors shall assign, pledge and grant a security interest
to the Lender in all of their respective right, title and interest, whether held
jointly or severally, together or with others, in and to the Cash Collateral
Account, together with all funds now or at any time hereafter on deposit therein
and all interest earned thereon (such Assignment and Pledge of Collateral
Account, as the same may from time to time be extended, amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified, being hereinafter referred to as the "Pledge
Agreement"; this Agreement, the Note, the Guaranty, the Deed of Trust, the
Pledge Agreement and all other documents now or hereafter executed and delivered
to evidence, secure, guarantee or otherwise provide for the Loan being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Loan Documents").

or fulfilled by the Borrower or to be given to the Lender pursuant to this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any document, instrument, certificate,
or other materials or information, the Lender shall not be deemed to have

21.           
Permitted Successors and Assigns; Disclosure of Information.
 
(a)           
Each and every one of the covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this

discretion. Any such transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation made or
attempted by the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Lender shall
be void and of no effect. No consent by the Lender to an assignment shall be
deemed to be a waiver of the requirement of prior written consent by the Lender

to the effectiveness of such assignment.
 
(c)           
The Lender may sell or offer to sell the Loan or interests therein to one or
more assignees or participants; and no such assignment or participation shall
modify the liabilities or obligations of the Borrower or either of the
Guarantors under the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver any and all instruments reasonably requested by the Lender in connection
therewith, and to the extent, if any, specified in any such assignment or
participation, such assignee(s) or participant(s) shall have the same rights and
benefits with respect to the Loan Documents as such Person(s) would have if such
Person(s) were the Lender hereunder. The Borrower, on its own behalf and on
behalf of the other Borrower Parties (as hereinafter defined), hereby (i)
acknowledges and agrees that the Lender is entitled, at any time and from time
to time, without notice to or further consent by the Borrower or any other
Borrower Party, to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise convey, and to attempt to
sell, transfer, assign or otherwise convey, the Loan and the Loan Documents, or
any interest herein or therein or rights with respect hereto or thereto
(including, but not limited to, participation interests, syndication interests,
servicing rights and beneficial interests issued in connection with
mortgage-backed or similar certificates or securities) to any Person, and (ii)
irrevocably authorizes the Lender, and any Person acting on behalf of the
Lender, to deliver and disclose to any Person any and all information and
materials related to the Loan, the Loan Documents and/or the Borrower Parties
now or hereafter in the Lender's possession (collectively, the "Information").
The Information may include, but shall not be limited to, original and/or copies
of financial statements, financial projections, appraisals, studies, reports,
business plans, permits, licenses, approvals, organizational documents,
resolutions, consents, documents (including, but not limited to, the Loan
Documents), plans, drawings, specifications, contracts, bonds, credit reports,
payment histories, account statements and applications (including, but not
limited to, the application for the Loan). As used herein, the term "Borrower
Parties" means, collectively, the Borrower, each of the Guarantors and all other
obligors of all or any obligations of the Borrower and/or any other Person to
the Lender in connection with the Loan; all subsidiaries and affiliates of the
Borrower, the Guarantors and/or any such other obligor; the members, partners,
managers, stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors and
representatives of the Borrower, either of the Guarantors or any such other
obligor and/or any such subsidiary or affiliate; and any other Person now or
hereafter owning a direct or indirect interest in the Borrower, either of the
Guarantors, any such obligor and/or any such subsidiary or affiliate.
 
22.           
Liability of the Lender; Indemnification. The Lender shall not be liable for any
act or omission by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement in the
absence of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Lender shall incur
no liability to the Borrower, or any other party in connection with the acts or
omissions of the Lender in reliance upon any certificate or other paper believed
by the Lender to be genuine or with respect to any other thing which the Lender
may do or refrain from doing, unless such act or omission amounts to fraud,
gross negligence or willful misconduct. In connection with the performance of
its duties pursuant to this Agreement, the Lender may consult with counsel of
its own selection, and anything which the Lender may do or refrain from doing,
in good faith, in reliance upon the opinion of such counsel shall be full
justification and protection to the Lender, absent fraud, gross negligence or
willful misconduct by the Lender. In addition, the Borrower covenants and agrees
to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against any liability for
hazardous materials discovered on or emanating from any parcel of real property
acquired or developed with the proceeds of the Loan.
 
 

 
 
23.           
Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement (or any part of any
provision) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the affected
provision) of this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision (or any part thereof) had not been
contained in this Agreement, but only to the extent it is invalid, illegal or
unenforceable.
 
24.           
Third Parties; Benefit. All conditions to the obligation of the Lender to make
advances hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the
Lender and its assigns and no other Persons shall have standing to require
satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to
assume that the Lender will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict
compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any
circumstances, be deemed to be the beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of
which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Lender at any time in the
sole and absolute exercise of its discretion. The terms and provisions of this
Agreement are for the benefit of the parties hereto and, except as herein
specifically provided, no other Person shall have any right or cause of action
on account thereof.
 
23.

FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY

ACTION WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING OR ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR
HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED;
 
(e)           
AGREES THAT THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A
COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING OR ACTION AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS

Forum. The Borrower hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for
itself and in respect of its property to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any
state court or any United States federal court sitting in the State specified in
the governing law section of this Agreement. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Borrower
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court and any claim
that any such court is an inconvenient forum. The Borrower hereby agrees and
consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for
under applicable law, all service of process in any such suit, action or
proceeding in any state court or any United States federal court sitting in the
State specified in the governing law section of this Agreement or in which any
of the collateral is located may be made by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, directed to the Borrower at its address for notice set forth
in this Agreement, or at a subsequent address of which the Lender received
actual notice from the Borrower in accordance with the notice section of this
Agreement, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same
shall have been so mailed. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Lender
to serve process in any manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Lender
to bring proceedings against the Borrower in any other court or jurisdiction.
 
 

 
 
27.           
Defined Terms. In all cases where more than one party executes this Agreement as
a Borrower, then the term "Borrower" as used in this Agreement shall refer to
all such Persons jointly and severally, and to each of them, and all promises,
agreements, covenants, waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other
provisions in this Agreement are made by and shall be binding upon each and
every such undersigned Person, jointly and severally, and the Lender may pursue
any Borrower hereunder without being required to pursue any other Borrower.
Whenever the context of any provisions hereof shall require it, words in the
singular shall include the plural, words in the plural shall include the
singular, and pronouns of any gender shall include the other genders. Captions
and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof. The terms "herein", "hereof" "hereto" "hereunder" and
similar terms refer to this Agreement and not to any particular Section or
subsection of this Agreement. The terms "include" and "including" shall be
interpreted as if followed by the words "without limitation". For purposes of
this Agreement, "Person" or "Persons" shall include firms, associations,
partnerships (including limited partnerships), joint ventures, trusts,
corporations, limited liability companies, and other legal entities, including
governmental bodies, agencies, or instrumentalities, as well as natural persons.
 
28.           
Patriot Act Notice. The Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the "Patriot Act") and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the
"Beneficial Ownership Regulations"), the Lender is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes
the name and address of the Borrower, a Beneficial Ownership Certification, and
other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrower in
accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulations. The
Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Lender, provide all
documentation and other information that the Lender requests in order to comply
with its internal policies and its ongoing obligations under "know your
customer" and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without
limitation, the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulations.
 
29.           
Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be changed,
waived, modified, discharged or terminated except by instrument in writing
executed by the party or parties against whom enforcement of the change, waiver,
modification, discharge or termination is asserted. None of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been abrogated or waived by
reason of any failure or failures to enforce the same.
 
30.           
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed, interpreted
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland.
 
31.           
Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original for all
purposes; provided, however, that all such counterparts shall together
constitute one and the same instrument. In addition, the parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that, for all purposes, any Loan Document, or any other
instrument or agreement (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted
electronically shall be treated as an original document. The signature of any
party thereon is to be considered as an original signature, and the document
transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original
signature on an original document.
 
32.           
Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and
agreement between the Borrower and the Lender with respect to the transactions
arising in connection with the Loan, and supersede all prior written or oral
understandings and agreements between the Borrower and the Lender with respect
to the matters addressed in the Loan Documents. In particular, and without
limitation, the terms of any commitment by the Lender to establish the Loan are
merged into the Loan Documents. Except as incorporated in writing into the Loan
Documents, there are no representations, understandings, stipulations,
agreements or promises, oral or written, with respect to the matters addressed
in the Loan Documents. If there is any conflict between the terms, conditions
and provisions of this Agreement and those of any other instrument or agreement,

a Delaware corporation, (herein called the "Borrower"), hereby requests
disbursement of a portion of the proceeds of the Loan as hereinafter set forth
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement dated April ___, 2020 (the "Loan

As of the date hereof, the Borrower is in compliance with, and has satisfied,

EXHIBIT B
 
PARTIAL RELEASE PROVISIONS
 
1.           Partial Releases Generally. The Lender hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the Owner has subdivided and intends to subdivide portions of the
Property into separate residential building Lots and other Parcels of land and
to convey such Lots and Parcels to third-parties (including NVR). Thus,
notwithstanding anything contained in the Deed of Trust or in any of the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, but except as otherwise expressly provided in
Section 2 below of this Exhibit B, upon the achievement of each of the Release
Conditions (as hereinafter defined), as determined by the Lender in its sole,
but reasonable discretion, the Owner shall have the right to obtain a release of
individual Lots and Parcels from the lien of the Deed of Trust in connection
with a conveyance of the same to NVR pursuant to the terms of the NVR Purchase
Contracts or to another third-party purchaser under a contract of sale approved
by the Lender. The satisfaction of each and every one of the following
conditions (hereinafter referred to as the "Release Conditions") shall be a
condition precedent to the right of the Owner to obtain a release of a Lot or
Parcel from the lien and effect of the Deed of Trust:
 
(a)           
The Lender shall have previously received and approved, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a legal and valid subdivision plat covering
that portion of the Property in which the Lot or Parcel proposed to be released
shall be located, approved (to the extent necessary) by all required
governmental authorities, which shall confirm (i) that the Lot or Parcel which
is proposed to be released is a separate and distinct lot or parcel of property,
and (ii) that the balance of the Property remaining subject to the lien of the
Deed of Trust conforms in all respects with all required zoning and building
codes, rules and regulations, with adequate means of ingress and egress from a
public roadway, together with such cross easement agreements as may be deemed
reasonably necessary by the Lender;
 
(b)           
Unless such Lot or Parcel is being conveyed pursuant to the terms of the NVR
Purchase Contracts, the Lender shall have previously received and approved,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, a fully executed
contract of sale covering the Lot or Parcel proposed to be released, which shall
provide for a purchase price acceptable to the Lender in all respects and which
shall provide sufficient sums for the payment of the Release Fee required
pursuant to the terms hereof;
 
(c)           
At the time of the request by the Owner for a release of such Lot or Parcel from
the lien of the Deed of Trust, there shall not exist any Event of Default
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, nor any condition or state
of facts which after notice and/or lapse of time would constitute an Event of
Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents;
 
(d)           
At the time of the release of such Lot or Parcel from the lien of the Deed of
Trust, the Owner shall have paid to the Lender a release fee (a "Release Fee")
in an amount equal to the amount required for the release of such Lot or Parcel
pursuant to the terms of the Development Loan Agreement, and such Release Fee
shall have been applied to the sums then outstanding under the Development Loan
in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that in the event that
at the time of the sale of such Lot or Parcel, no Release Fee is payable by the
Owner under the terms of the Development Loan Agreement as a result of the fact
that the Development Loan has been repaid in full and all outstanding Letters of
Credit, if any, issued by the Lender under the Development Loan have been
returned to the Lender or shall otherwise be fully cash collateralized, or for
any other reason, then the Lender shall have the right to require that the Owner
pay to the Lender an amount equal to the Release Fee that would have been
payable for the release of such Lot or Parcel under the terms of the Development
Loan Agreement and either apply such sum to the payment of amounts outstanding
under the Loan, in such order or manner as the Lender may require, or deposit
such sum into a deposit account maintained by the Lender and pledged to the
Lender as additional collateral for the Loan pursuant to the terms of an
assignment and pledge of deposit account in form and substance satisfactory to
the Lender in all respects;
 
(e)           
At the time of the release of such Lot or Parcel from the lien of the Deed of
Trust, there shall be not less than $2,600,000 on deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account; and
 
(f)           
The Owner shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Lender in connection with such release, including, without
limitation, legal fees and all recording costs.
 
2.            Release of Roadways, Public Parks, School Site and Other Common
Areas. In addition, provided that no Event of Default shall then exist hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Lender agrees to release from the
lien of the Deed of Trust any areas within the Property designated for use as
public roadways, public parks, a school or as "common areas" for no additional
consideration at the time that such areas are properly conveyed to the
appropriate governmental authority or to the appropriate owners association
established for such purpose, so long as the Lender shall have theretofore
reviewed and approved (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) (a) the final recorded subdivision plat or plats approved by all
appropriate governmental authorities pursuant to which such public roadways or
other areas shall have been formally established, as may be required, (b) if
applicable, all documents and agreements establishing the owners' association to
which such areas shall be conveyed, and (c) the deed and all other documents
pursuant to which such areas shall be conveyed; all of which must be reasonably
acceptable in all respects to the Lender.
 
3. Release of Lien on Front Foot Assessments. Furthermore, provided that no
Event of Default shall then exist hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, at the time of the release by the Lender of any Lot or Parcel within
the Property in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit B, the Lender agrees
to also release from the effect of its lien and security interest under the Deed
of Trust and the other Loan Documents any interest that the Lender may have in
and to the front benefit charges and assessments covering such released Lot or
Parcel.
 
4.            Effect of Partial Releases. Any release by the Lender of any part
of the Property from the lien of the Deed of Trust shall not, in any manner,
affect or impair the lien or priority of the Deed of Trust as to the remainder
of the Property.
 
5.            Payment of Additional Charges. In addition to any other charges
payable by the Owner pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Deed of Trust or of
any of the other Loan Documents, the Owner agrees, to the extent not prohibited
by Law, to pay all governmental charges, and all of the Lender's fees and
expenses, for any full or partial release of the Deed of Trust and any other
security interests and liens securing the Loan, which charges, fees and expenses
shall be payable at the time of such release.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
EXHIBIT C
 
FINANCIAL COVENANTS
 
The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to comply, and to cause each of the
Guarantors to comply, with each and every one of the financial covenants
hereinafter set forth, at the times and in the manner specified:
 
Required Net Worth. The Guarantors shall maintain at all times during the term
of the Loan a combined minimum Net Worth in an aggregate amount equal to not
less than $20,000,000, which shall be tested semi-annually as of June 30 and
December 31 of each year. For the purposes hereof, the term "Net Worth" shall
mean, at the time of determination, the excess of the tangible assets of the
Guarantors over the Guarantors' liabilities, as reasonably determined by the
Lender.
