priority lien in the Future Property subject only to such encumbrances as Lender may approve in its sole and absolute discretion. The amount of the title insurance insuring the existing Security Instruments and the new liens to be established in

to Lender in writing by or on behalf of Obligors in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or

 6.2 Inspection. From and after the date hereof and so long as Lender (or a nominee
designated by Lender) shall hold the Notes, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower, Lender shall have the right (i) to visit and inspect, at Lender’s expense, any of the properties, all at such reasonable times and as often as Lender may
reasonably request, of Property Owners or Borrower (including any property not owned by Borrower but upon which any security for the Loan may be located), to examine its books of account and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Obligors
with its and their members, officers and managers and independent public accountants, and (ii) to contact such third parties doing business with Borrower, and to engage in other auditing procedures as Lender deem reasonable to ensure the
validity of Lender’s security interests or the accuracy of Obligors’ representations, warranties and certifications. In connection with such inspections, Lender and Lender’s engineers, contractors and other representatives shall have
the right to perform such environmental audits and other environmental examinations of the Real Property as Lender deems necessary or advisable from time to time after reasonable prior notice to Borrower. 

6.3 Water Adequacy. Within thirty (30) days of Lender’s request (but not more than once a year unless an Event of Default
exists), Borrower shall deliver to Lender such information as may be requested by Lender to demonstrate the sources and amount of water supply available to each parcel of the Land during the coming crop year, including the number of irrigated acres,
the confirmed supply available and the per acre foot cost of such supply. 
  

	SECTION 7.	 AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 



Borrower covenants and agrees that so long as any of the Notes shall be outstanding: 

7.1 To Pay Indebtedness. Borrower will punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal and interest (and prepayment premium, if any) to
become due in respect of the Notes according to the terms thereof and hereof (inclusive of any other permitted payments of which Borrower has notified Lender). 

7.2 Maintenance of Borrower Office. Borrower will maintain an office at 1521 Westbranch Drive, Suite 100, McLean, Virginia 22102 (or
such other place in the United States of America as Borrower may designate in writing to the holder of the Notes). 
 7.3 To Keep
Books. Obligors will keep proper books of record and account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 
 7.4

 (a) pay and discharge promptly all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, its income or profits or its property before the same shall become in default, as well as all lawful claims and liabilities of any kind (including claims and liabilities for labor,
materials and supplies) which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon its property, subject to the right to contest certain claims as provided in the Security Instruments;

 (b) do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises (or cure any noncompliance within a reasonable period after learning of the same, not to exceed 30 days); and 

(c) maintain and keep all its properties used or useful in the conduct of its business in good condition, repair and working order, reasonable
and ordinary wear and tear excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and make all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be conducted at all times in a reasonable and lawful manner. 
 7.5 To Insure. Obligors shall (in addition to the
insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the Security Instruments): 
 (a) keep all of its insurable properties owned by it insured
against all risks usually insured against by persons operating like properties in the same geographical areas where the properties are located, all in amounts sufficient to prevent Obligor from becoming a coinsurer within the terms of the policies
in question, but in any event as to any improvements located thereon in amounts not less than eighty percent (80%) of the then full replacement value thereof; 

(b) maintain public liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others upon or in or about any
premises occupied by it or occurring as a result of its maintenance or operation of any airplanes, automobiles, trucks or other vehicles or other facilities (including, but not limited to, any machinery used therein or thereon) or as the result of
the use of products sold by it or services rendered by it; 
 (c) maintain such other types of insurance with respect to its business as is
usually carried by persons of comparable size engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated; and 
 (d) maintain all such
worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any State or jurisdiction in which it may be engaged in business. 

All insurance for which provision has been made in Section 7.5 shall be maintained in at least such amounts as such
insurance is usually carried by persons of comparable size engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated; and all insurance herein provided for shall be effected under a valid and enforceable policy or policies issued by insurers
of recognized responsibility, except that Obligor may effect worker’s compensation or other similar insurance in respect of operations in any State or other jurisdiction either through an insurance fund operated by such State or other
jurisdiction or by causing to be maintained a system or systems of self-insurance which are in accord with applicable laws.

 7.6 Continued Operations. Property Owners or their tenants, as applicable, shall
continue, in at least substantially the same manner and degree as present (subject to customary crop rotations and changes in customary practice in the geographic area of the applicable Property), and subject to the addition of Future Properties,
their agricultural operations on the Property. Obligors acknowledge that such continued operations constitute a significant inducement to Lender to make the Loan. 

7.7 Notice of Change of Status. Borrower agrees that it shall promptly notify Lender of the following: 

(a) if any assets of any Obligor are surrendered in satisfaction of a debt or obligation pursuant to the enforcement thereof; 

(b) if any Obligor is dissolved or any trust comprising Obligor is revoked or amended; 

(c) if the lease for any land currently leased by any Obligor expires or is terminated; or 

(d) upon the commencement of any litigation, including any arbitration or mediation, and of any proceedings before any governmental agency
which could materially and adversely affect the Real Property, Borrower, Guarantor or Lender. 
  

	SECTION 8.	 SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS; CONSEQUENCES OF LOAN STRUCTURE. 



8.1 Borrower and Guarantor understand and agree that: 

(a) unless and to the extent otherwise released by Lender in writing, the Collateral pledged by the Property Owners will secure the entire
amount of the Loan under the Notes and the other Loan Documents; 
 (b) an Event of Default by any or all of the Property Owners under the
Security Instruments or any of the Collateral Documents or other loan documents evidencing or securing any portion of the Loan will also constitute an Event of Default under the entire Loan and all other Notes and other Loan Documents executed or
delivered to evidence or secure the Loan or any portion thereof;

 Gladstone 2020 Facility 

Loan Nos. 196915, 198677 & 200539 
 105131550 0053564-00437














 (c) except as otherwise stated in Section 10, Obligors will not be
entitled to the release of Lender’s security interest in any portion of the Collateral until the entire Loan has been paid in full; 

(d) a result of the structure of the Loan is that all of the Collateral, regardless of the form by which it is encumbered or the ownership,
shall now be security for the repayment of all of the Notes, and shall be available to satisfy the obligations incurred in connection with the entire Loan and each Note; and 

(e) a default by any Obligor under any Note or the Loan Documents could result in the judicial or nonjudicial sale of some or all the
Collateral for the Loan, and the application of the proceeds from such sale to complete or only partial satisfaction of the joint and several obligations of the Obligors under any of the Notes or Loan Documents. 

8.2 Due to the business relationships among the Obligors there is a community of interests among the Obligors such that the benefits of the
Loan and each of the Notes evidencing the Loan flowing to one Obligor also benefits the other Obligors. The benefit of the Loan to each of the Obligors constitutes the reasonably equivalent value of the aggregate transfers made and the aggregate
obligations incurred by each of the Obligors in connection with the Loan. 
 8.3 The proceeds of the Loan will be used: 

(a) to finance the Collateral; and 

(b) to provide working capital and financing or refinancing funds relating to the purchase or refinance of additional Real Property by Borrower
or its Subsidiaries. 
 8.4 After diligent inquiry, Borrower has determined: 

(a) the interest rate and repayment terms of the Loan are more favorable than those any could have obtained without the pledge of
Obligors’ ownership interests in the Real Property as collateral for the Loan and the joint and several liability of the Obligors; 

(b) the relationship of the business operations conducted on the combined property encumbered by the Security Instruments is such that the
property in the aggregate is more valuable than the sum of each portion thereof owned by Obligor, and separate financing of the parcels of Real Property owned by any Obligor would be uneconomical and inefficient; and 

(c) the Loan and collateral structure are beneficial to Guarantor’s and other Obligors’ collective interests.

 8.5 None of Borrower, the Property Owners, or Guarantor is insolvent as of the date of this
Agreement. Neither Borrower, the Property Owners nor Guarantor will become insolvent as a result of the obligations incurred and transfers made in connection with the Loan. Neither Borrower, the Property Owners nor Guarantor is, or is about to be,
engaged in a business or transaction for which such Borrower, Property Owner or Guarantor will have an unreasonably small amount of capital after the closing of the Loan. Neither Borrower, any Property Owner nor Guarantor has incurred, or
contemplates incurring, debts beyond such Borrower’s, Property Owner’s or Guarantor’s ability to pay as such debts become due. This Section 8.5 is subject to the Contribution and Indemnity Agreement among the
Obligors dated as of even date herewith (the “Contribution and Indemnity Agreement”). 
 8.6 The transfers made and
obligations incurred by Obligors in connection with the Loan are not made with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any person to which any Obligor was, is, or hereinafter will become, indebted. 

 

	SECTION 9.	 RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. 



Borrower and Guarantor covenant and agree that so long as any of the Notes shall be outstanding: 

9.1 Maximum Leverage. As of the end of each calendar quarter, the Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Asset Value must be
equal to or less than sixty-five percent (65%). 
 9.2 Consolidated Net Worth. Borrower and Guarantor shall maintain a Consolidated
Net Worth at all times in excess of $50,000,000, measured at the end of each calendar quarter. 
 9.3 Intentionally deleted. 

9.4 Debt Yield Ratio. Consolidated Rental Revenue divided by Consolidated Total Debt must be equal to or greater than five percent
(5.0%), measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. 
 9.5 Restricted Payments. 

(a) Obligors will not, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payments or incur any liability to make any Restricted Payments, or make
advances or loans to any member, unless immediately after giving effect to such action, there shall not exist any Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default; provided, that this shall not
apply to or otherwise restrict Obligors’ ability to make any Restricted Payments that are legally required to maintain Guarantor’s status as a REIT. All dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions, retirements, acquisitions and
payments made pursuant to 

  
 29 

Loan Agreement 
 Gladstone 2020 Facility 

Loan Nos. 196915, 198677 & 200539 
 105131550 0053564-00437














 
this Section 9.5 in property other than cash shall be included for purposes of calculations pursuant to this Section 9.5 at the fair market
value thereof (as determined in good faith by the general partner or manager of the applicable Obligor) at the time of declaration of such dividend or at the time of making such distribution, purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition or payment.

 (b) Borrower’s and each Property Owner’s outstanding membership, partnership or other equity interests shall remain free and
clear of any and all Liens at all times. 
 9.6 Merger or Consolidation. No Obligor will consolidate with or merge into any Person, or
permit any Person to merge into it, nor will any Obligor transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets except as permitted hereby. 

9.7 Transactions with Affiliates. Obligors will not engage in any transaction with an Affiliate on terms more favorable to the Affiliate
than would have been obtainable in arm’s length dealing in the ordinary course of business with a Person not an Affiliate; provided that none of the following shall be deemed to be a transaction with an Affiliate: (i) any investment
advisory agreement between Guarantor and Gladstone Management Corporation; (ii) any administration agreement between Guarantor and Gladstone Administration, LLC; (iii) any agreement for the provisions of mortgage services between Guarantor
and Gladstone Securities, LLC; and (iv) any transaction or indebtedness originated or entered into by Gladstone Lending Company, LLC and any Affiliate in connection with the Bond Purchase Agreement (defined on Exhibit F) or similarly structured
future financing arrangements with Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation and/or the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. 
 9.8
Subordinate Debt. Borrower hereby agrees that all Subordinate Debt or any inter-Obligor loans involving any one or more Obligor shall be subordinate in all respects to the Loan and no payment of any
amounts owing in connection therewith at a time when an Event of Default exists may be made until the earlier of Lender’s waiver of such Event of Default or the repayment in full of all amounts owing to Lender in connection with the Loan. To
the extent any amounts are received in any manner whatsoever in connection with such inter-Obligor loans by an obligee thereof during the period described in the immediately preceding sentence, such amounts
shall be held in trust for and paid over to Lender until Lender are in receipt of all amounts owing to Lender in connection with the Loan. Upon the request of Lender, Obligors shall enter into a debt subordination agreement agreeable to Lender with
respect to any Subordinated Debt. 
 9.9 Maintain Organizational Existence. Obligors shall at all times maintain their respective
existence as a limited partnership, corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, in the state of its formation and any other jurisdiction where it transacts business (or cure any failure to maintain such existence within a reasonable
time after learning of such failure, not to exceed 30 days). Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender, no Obligor will change its name or jurisdiction of organization.

 9.10 Transfers and Encumbrances. Obligors shall not assign, transfer, convey,
encumber or hypothecate any of its direct or indirect interest in any of the Collateral or of any interest in any Obligor absent Lender’s prior written consent which may be withheld or conditioned in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion,
except as expressly permitted in the Security Instruments or in Section 9.13 or Section 10 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following transfers shall be permitted: 

(a) Transfers of up to 50% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in Borrower shall be permitted so long as the balance of the
partnership interests are owned, directly or indirectly by Guarantor which continues to control Borrower as the sole member of General Partner, and so long as (a) such transfers shall comply with the governing documents of Borrower, all
applicable state and federal laws and not result in the breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in the Loan Documents; (b) General Partner remains the general partner of Borrower; (c) Lender shall be provided with
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such transfer if affecting more than 25% of the total partnership interests in Borrower, together with copies of the related documents sufficient to demonstrate compliance with Sections 4.20
and 4.21 above; (d) following the completion of such transfer, and at all times during the term of the Loan, (i) each Property Owner shall remain wholly owned and controlled by Borrower, (ii) the Adviser, or a sub-adviser thereof, shall continue to manage, control and act as the investment adviser to Guarantor, and indirectly to General Partner, Borrower and the Property Owners, (iii) one or more Key Principals shall
remain an executive officer or director of Guarantor, and (iv) there shall have been no material change in the investment strategy of Guarantor. Borrower shall provide Beneficiary with all documentation or other assurances reasonably requested
by Beneficiary to demonstrate compliance with the foregoing; 
 (b) Transfers or issuances of publicly-traded stock in Guarantor, provided
that if more than 25% of the outstanding stock is acquired by one or more Persons, acting as a group, following the date of this Agreement, written notice of such transfer(s) shall be provided to Lender accompanied by information sufficient for
Lender to confirm the continued accuracy of the representations set forth in Sections 4.20 and 4.21 above, and further provided that Borrower shall provide to Lender at its request from time to time during the term of the Loan a
complete list of all current shareholders in Guarantor; and 
 (c) Lender will consent to transfers of Collateral between one or more
Property Owners to one or more other Property Owners so long as: (i) no Event of Default has occurred or then exists; (ii) Lender is provided with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such transfer accompanied by copies of
the documentation used to effect such a transfer and information sufficient for Lender to confirm the current accuracy of the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents including those in Section 4 hereof;
(iii) Lender shall be

provided, at Borrower’s cost, with an endorsement to its title insurance policy insuring the continued first priority lien of its Security Instrument upon and following such transfer;
(iv) Obligors shall execute and provide such additional documents as Lender may require to confirm the current status of the Loan and the authority of the parties to the transaction, their respective obligations arising under the Loan and
Lender’s first priority liens under the Security Instruments; and (v) Borrower reimburses Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such consent including without limitation title and recording charges and reasonable
expenses of outside legal counsel as well as Lender’s customary servicing fee. 
 9.11 Change in Control. The Adviser or a sub-adviser thereof shall continue to be the investment adviser to Guarantor and, indirectly, to General Partner, Borrower and the Property Owners at all times during the term of the Loan. 

9.12 Unsecured Debt. Guarantor and Borrower shall not permit or cause any Property Owner to incur any additional Indebtedness or incur
any liability to unsecured creditors (specifically excluding trade payables in the ordinary course of business); provided, however, that Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent in connection with purchase money financing for equipment or
infrastructure (including without limitation pivots and other irrigation equipment for use on the Real Property), and shall reasonably cooperate with Property Owners with respect to requests for intercreditor agreements from the lenders of purchase
money financing; further provided, however, that Borrower shall reimburse Lender for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the same, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. 

9.13 Restructuring of Certain California Property Owners. Borrower may elect to restructure certain of the Property Owners that own
Collateral situated in the State of California as more particularly described on Exhibit G attached hereto (the “California Entity Restructuring”). Borrower shall give Lender at least sixty (60) days prior written notice
of its intention to implement the California Entity Restructuring, and Lender agrees to consent to the California Entity Restructuring subject to the following conditions, all of which must be satisfied as determined by Lender: 

(a) Borrower’s notice of intent to implement shall be accompanied by copies of all proposed entity conversion or
reorganization documents, entity documents for the restructured entities, documents of conveyance and an organizational chart reflecting the proposed changes; 

(b) The restructured entities shall be owned by the same beneficial owners as in effect with respect to the Property Owners as

 (c) No Event of Default shall exist, nor shall any circumstance exist which
with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default; 
 (d) Lender shall be
provided, at Borrower’s cost, with an endorsement or endorsements to its ALTA loan policy of title insurance insuring Lender as to the continued first lien priority of all affected Security Instruments upon the completion of the California
Entity Restructuring and as to the vested title of the affected Real Property; 
 (e) Borrower, Guarantors, applicable
Property Owners and any newly organized entities as part of the California Entity Restructuring shall execute for the benefit of Lender such amendment and assumption documents, collateral documents and certifications as Lender may require to confirm
the continuing effect, enforceability and validity of its Loan Documents upon and following such California Entity Restructuring, which shall in no event release or prejudice any rights or remedies of Lender thereunder; 

(f) Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s outside counsel fees and other costs, including title and escrow costs in
processing and documenting the California Entity Restructuring and the adjustment of the Loan Documents (including any necessary amendments to the Loan Documents and title endorsement premiums), but Lender shall not charge a separate servicing fee
in connection with the California Entity Restructuring; and 
 (g) Borrower shall provide to Lender an opinion of legal
counsel in substantially the form accepted by Lender with respect to the existing Property Owners on the Closing Date. 
  

	SECTION 10.	 PARTIAL RELEASE. 



10.1 Partial Release. Borrower may request Lender to release one or more parcels of Land, from time to time, from the lien of the
Security Instruments (the “Partial Release”) and Lender agrees to not unreasonably withhold its consent to the Partial Release, subject to the prior satisfaction of the following terms and conditions: 

(a) Request. Borrowers shall submit a formal written request for the Partial Release (the “Request”) not less than
thirty (30) days prior to the date upon which Borrower desires to close the transfer of the parcel subject to the Partial Release (the “Release Parcel”). No more than six (6) Requests shall be made per calendar year. The
Request shall be sufficiently detailed and include all necessary documentation so as to allow Lender adequate time to process the Partial Release, including without limitation an updated title report covering the Real Property and, at Lender’s
request, a boundary survey of the applicable portion of the Real Property prepared by a licensed surveyor, and if such information is not included in the request, the processing of the Request will be delayed accordingly.

Loan Nos. 196915, 198677 & 200539 
 105131550 0053564-00437














 (b) No Default. No Event of Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents,
either at the time of the Request or at the closing of the Partial Release (unless the Partial Release will cure any then-existing Event of Default), and the Partial Release will not cause an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents. No
material adverse change has occurred with respect to the financial condition of any of Borrowers or Guarantors. In no event shall any Partial Release result in one or more of Borrowers transferring all of the Collateral it has pledged in support of
the Loan without revising the debt allocation executed among the Obligors, and all Obligors must consent to the transfer. 
 (c) Title
Endorsement. If less than an entire property pledged by a Property Owner is the subject of the Request, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s sole expense, a title insurance endorsement which insures the continued first priority lien of the
Security Instrument(s) on the Real Property remaining after the Partial Release (the “Remaining Property”), and which insures that the Remaining Property is comprised of separate legal lot or lots, has legally enforceable access
rights and is comprised of contiguous parcels. 
 (d) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s outside counsel fees
and other costs, including title, escrow or appraisal costs, if any, in processing and documenting the Partial Release (including any necessary amendments to the Loan Documents and title endorsement premiums), and Lender’s customary service fee
not to exceed Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00). 
 (e) Written Consent. At Lender’s request, the written consent to
the Partial Release of all guarantors of the Loan and, if required by Lender, the holders of any permitted junior liens, encumbrances or lessees shall be obtained prior to the Partial Release. 

(f) Legal Compliance. Borrower shall create any easements, covenants or restrictions required by Lender in order to ensure the continued
compliance of the Remaining Property with legal or lease requirements. 
 (g) Independence of Remaining Property. At Lender’s
request, Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide updated boundary surveys showing any new easements created for the benefit of the Remaining Property (with the parcel to be released and the Remaining Property consisting of separate and
independent tax parcels approved by the responsible taxing authority), and such other information or reports as Lender may require to document that there has been no other impairment to the use and operation of the Remaining Property,

Loan Nos. 196915, 198677 & 200539 
 105131550 0053564-00437














 (h) Functionality. The Remaining Property must have legal, insurable access for
ingress, egress, water conveyance and functionality and meet all applicable legal requirements following the Partial Release. The release of the Release Parcel shall not otherwise impair the use, functionality or value of the Remaining Property
(i.e. it shall not include improvements, wells, pumps, motors, irrigation equipment, water rights or other items necessary for the continued operation of the Remaining Property nor render the farming or other use of the Remaining Property
inefficient or more costly). The Partial Release shall not otherwise adversely impact the farming or orchard operations or water supply, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, or cause the overall loan to value ratio to fall below 60%
(absent a principal paydown pursuant to Section 10.1(j) below), as determined by Lender using the Appraised Value. 

(i) Proceeds of Release. Lender may require, as a condition to any Partial Release, a payment reflecting the reduction in collateral
value of the remaining Collateral for application to the Loan or the pledge of additional Collateral, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion in order to maintain the requisite
loan-to-value ratio of the Loan to the remaining Collateral. At Lender’s request updated appraisals of the remaining Collateral shall be obtained at Borrowers’
cost to support the related analysis. Any applicable prepayment premium under the terms of the Notes shall also be paid to Lender. Borrower shall also have the right to require updated appraisals of the remaining Collateral to support the necessary
valuation, at Borrower’s cost. 
 (j) Application of Prepayment Proceeds. The Partial Release payment referred to in
Section 10.1(i) above shall be applied first to the applicable prepayment premium calculated in accordance with the Notes, if any, with respect to the principal reduction of the Loan and then to the principal balance of the
Loan. No Partial Release or prepayment shall affect the regularly scheduled installments of principal and interest then due under the Notes. Lender shall not be obligated to make any additional disbursements under this Loan Agreement while any
Request for Partial Release is pending. 
 10.2 Release/Removal of Plantings. Borrower has advised Lender that from time to time
tenants on the Property request permission to plant patented varieties or to remove existing permanent plantings, whether bushes, trees, vines or other plantings for purposes of replacing them with patented varieties. Lender will consent to such
removal and replacement under the following conditions: 
 (a) Borrower provides Lender with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice
of the proposed removal and replacement; 
 (b) No Event of Default is then outstanding;

Loan Nos. 196915, 198677 & 200539 
 105131550 0053564-00437














 (c) The value of the removed plantings (if the related valuation of such plantings was
previously included in the Appraised Value) is paid to Lender as a prepayment of principal under the Loan (the “Patent Payment”), which shall first be applied to any applicable prepayment premium required by the Notes and then to
principal. Borrower may escrow the Patent Payment in an escrow account approved by Lender so that it may be applied on the next applicable Interest Payment Date so that Borrower may avoid or minimize any applicable Prepayment Premium. The value of
the replacement or initially planted patented plants shall not be included in the Appraised Value of the Property; and 
 (d) Borrower shall
require its tenant, as a condition to the planting or the removal and replacement, either to remove or to afford the applicable Property Owner (and any successor) the ability to remove, without cost or liability, the patented plantings and terminate
any applicable royalty or payment therefor upon termination of the related lease. 
  

	SECTION 11.	 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. 



11.1 Events of Default; Acceleration. The occurrence of one or more of the following events (herein an “Event of
Default”) shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement (and whether such occurrence shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order,
rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): 
 (a) default in the payment of any interest upon any of the Notes when such
interest becomes due and payable; or 
 (b) default in the payment of principal of (or prepayment premium, if any, on) any of the Notes or in
the payment of any other amount evidenced by any of the Notes or payable under this Agreement when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for payment or prepayment, or by acceleration or otherwise; or

 (c) default in the performance or observance of any other non-monetary covenant, agreement or
condition contained in this Agreement or in either of the Notes or the other Loan Documents (other than those matters otherwise identified in this Section 11.1) that is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt
by Borrower of written notice from Lender specifying the nature of the default, provided however, if such default is a non-monetary default and cannot be cured within the
30-day period, then so long as Borrower have commenced and diligently pursues the cure of the related default, within ninety (90) days following receipt of written notice, no Event of Default shall result
and further provided that no notice of default or opportunity for cure shall be required if during the prior twelve (12) months, Lender has already sent a written notice to Borrower identifying Borrower’s default in performance of the same
obligation and further provided that any cure periods set forth in this Section 11.1(c) shall run concurrently with any cure periods afforded under any other Loan Documents; or

 (d) any Event of Default under any of the Security Instruments or any Default or Event of

non-exempted “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Sections 406 and 408 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (2) incur any “accumulated funding
deficiency,” as defined in Section 302 of ERISA, in an amount in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), whether or not waived, or (3) terminate or permit the termination of an “employee pension benefit plan,” as defined
in Section 3 of ERISA, in a manner which could result in the imposition of a Lien on any property of such Obligor pursuant to Section 4068 of ERISA securing an amount in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00); or 

(j) any representation or warranty made by Borrower in Section 4 hereof or in any Collateral Document or in any
certificate or instrument furnished in connection therewith shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the date made, provided that Borrower shall have thirty (30) days following the written identification by
Lender of the related misrepresentation or breach of warranty to cure the related misrepresentation if unintentional and if Lender is thereby placed in the same risk position as if the misrepresentation had not been made; or 

(k) the Collateral or any portion thereof is sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned or disposed of, or the Real Property is rezoned, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, or an agreement for any of the foregoing is entered into, other than transfers permitted under the Loan Documents; or 

(l) the dissolution or death of any Obligor, whether by operation of law or otherwise other than inadvertent administrative dissolution which
is not cured within 30 days after Obligor has knowledge of such fact and which has no Material Adverse Effect; or 
 (m) the default beyond
any applicable cure or grace period by any Obligor under any Indebtedness owed to any Person other than Lender, other than a default (i) with respect to Indebtedness that is not secured by any of the Collateral, and (ii) that does not
result in a breach of any of the obligations set forth in this Agreement including without limitation the covenants set forth in Sections 9.1 – 9.5 above. 

Upon an Event of Default, at Lender’s option, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued interest thereon at the Default
Interest Rate, shall immediately become due and payable without notice or demand. In the event that a tender of the foregoing sum is received at a time when a prepayment premium would otherwise apply or prepayment would be prohibited under the
Notes, such tender shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment under the Notes, and in addition to principal and interest due as aforesaid, Borrower agrees to pay the prepayment price, computed as provided in the Notes (except that, for purposes of
such computation, the prepayment date shall be deemed to be the date upon which the holder of the Notes shall have declared the Notes to be due and payable).

 11.2 Remedies Upon Default. In case an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the holder of the Notes may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant contained in the Notes or in this Agreement or
in any Loan Document or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in the Notes or in this Agreement or in any Loan Document or may proceed to enforce the payment of the Notes or to enforce any other legal or equitable right of the holder of the
Notes including without limitation, taking of the following actions, concurrently or successively, without notice to any Obligor. Borrower agrees that its obligations under the Notes are of the essence, and upon application to any court of equity
having jurisdiction, Lender shall be entitled to pursue a judgment against Borrower requiring specific performance of such obligations. 

(a) Declare the Notes to be, and the Notes shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding; or 
 (b)
Enter upon and take possession of the Real Property and all material, equipment and supplies thereon and water rights available thereto and to fulfill the obligations of Borrower hereunder and to sell, manage, repair, and protect the Real Property.
Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full
power of substitution, (i) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens or security interests against the Real Property or any fixtures or equipment thereon, or as may be necessary or desirable for the clearance
of title or otherwise, and (ii) to use any funds of any Borrower, including any Loan balance which might not have been disbursed. 

11.3 Remedies Not Waived. No course of dealing between the holder of the Notes and Borrower or any delay or failure on the part of the
holder in exercising any rights under the Notes, any Loan Document or hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of such holder. 

11.4 Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein or in the Notes or in any Loan Document conferred upon the holder of the Notes is intended to
be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Notes or under any Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

 11.5 Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay to the holder of the Notes, to the extent
permitted under applicable law, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such holder as shall be sufficient to cover the cost and expense of enforcing such
holder’s rights under the Notes and any Loan Document or the collecting and foreclosing upon, or otherwise dealing with, the Collateral, or participating in any litigation or bankruptcy proceeding for the protection or enforcement of the
holder’s collateral or claim against any Obligor of the Notes or otherwise incurred in connection with the occurrence of an Event of Default, said expenses to include reasonable compensation to the outside attorneys and counsel of such holder
for any services rendered in that connection, upon the Notes held by such holder. 
  

	SECTION 12.	 MISCELLANEOUS. 



12.1 Loss or Damage. In case of loss or damage by fire or otherwise to the Real Property or any part thereof, Borrower will forthwith
notify Lender of same and Lender may make proof of such loss if the same is not promptly made by Borrower or if Lender deem it desirable to do so. Lender is authorized to adjust, collect, and compromise, in its reasonable discretion, all claims
under insurance policies covering the loss in question. All such insurance proceeds otherwise payable to Borrower shall be paid directly and solely to Lender and each insurance company is authorized and directed to make such payment directly and
solely to Lender, and the insurance policies shall so stipulate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, provided no Event of Default has occurred, Borrower shall be entitled to compromise and settle, and retain the insurance proceeds from,
any casualty loss of $100,000.00 or less as to an insured casualty loss for any given parcel of the Real Property but not to exceed an aggregate of $500,000.00 for the entire Property so long as Borrower provides written notice to Lender and uses
any proceeds and any additional funds as may be required to fully restore the portion of the Property at issue. All insurance proceeds may, subject to the sentence immediately below, be applied either to the reduction of the indebtedness under this
Agreement and the Notes, without prepayment premium or penalty of any kind, or to the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding of the portion of the Real Property so damaged in such manner as Lender may determine, and any application thereof
to the indebtedness shall not release or relieve any Borrower from making the payments or performing the other agreements and obligations herein required until the indebtedness is paid in full. If and only so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing hereunder and provided that the insurance proceeds, when combined with the portion of this Loan not yet disbursed, are sufficient in Lender’s judgment, after first deducting and paying the expenses, if any, incurred by Lender
in the collection of the proceeds of the insurance, to otherwise pay all costs and expenses relating thereto and to this Loan (including the payment of interest and other carrying costs) or if such proceeds are not sufficient as above provided,
provided that Borrower deposit with Lender, the amount of such deficiency, as determined by Lender within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor and further provided that Borrower shall not claim that, notwithstanding such payment to Lender,
it had no liability to pay any or some portion of such proceeds to Lender, then the balance of the proceeds, plus any amounts deposited by Borrower, will be held and disbursed by Lender, from time to time, for the purpose of the repair, restoration,
building or rebuilding of the Real Property in accordance with Lender’s customary disbursement procedures as may be then in effect.

 12.2 Assignment by Lender. Lender may assign, negotiate, pledge or otherwise
hypothecate all or any portion of this Agreement or grant participations herein, or in any of its rights and security hereunder, including, without limitation, the Notes and the Loan Documents and, in the case of such assignment, Borrower will
accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of Lender in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrower by such assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same
would have been enforceable by Lender but for such assignment provided that in connection with any such assignment Lender shall give Borrower at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of such assignment and such assignee agrees to be bound
by the terms and provisions hereof. 
 Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign any of its rights under this Agreement, either
voluntarily or by operation of law. 
 12.3 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. 

12.4 No Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant, or agreement herein contained shall be effective unless set forth
in a writing signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing. No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement
are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law. No notice or demand on any Obligor in any case shall, in itself, entitle Obligor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 
 12.5 No Joint Venture.
Nothing herein, in the Notes, the Loan Documents, or in any other Loan Document contained, and no action or inaction whatsoever on the part of Lender, shall be deemed to make Lender a partner or joint venturer with Borrower and Borrower shall
protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all claims, loss, cost, expense (including attorneys’ fees) and damages arising from the relationship between Lender and Borrower being construed or alleged to be as anything
other than that of secured lender and borrower; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender against Lender’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by supplemental written agreement executed by the parties hereto. 

12.7 Severability; Consistency. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or situation shall, to any
extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but
shall continue valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Loan Documents are intended to be consistent with each other and should be interpreted to such effect. 

12.8 Agreement Not to Benefit Third Parties. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other person
shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent for any purpose whatsoever, nor have any right of action of any kind hereon nor be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary hereunder. 

12.9 No Documents to be Recorded. Obligors covenant that they will not cause or permit any document or instrument to be placed of record
with respect to the Land or the Real Property without Lender’s prior written consent. 
 12.10 Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation
of Notes. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any of the Notes, and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond of indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Notes, Borrower will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Notes, a new Note(s) of like tenor and unpaid principal amount
and dated the date of, or, if later, the date to which interest has been paid on, the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Notes. 
 12.11

disbursements of counsel for Lender (including reasonable outside legal fees incurred by Lender subsequent to the closing of the Loan in connection with the administration, collection or transfer of the Loan); all recording fees and charges; title
insurance premiums and costs, escrow and funding charges; surveys; intangible taxes; environmental assessments; expenses of foreclosure (including trustee’s and attorney’s fees); and similar items. Borrower’s obligations under this

subsequent holder of the Notes harmless against, any and all liability (including any interest or penalty for non-payment or delay in payment) with respect to stamp and other taxes (other than any such stamp
or other taxes incurred upon a transfer of the Notes or loan participations by Lender), if any, and all recording and filing fees which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
