 2.1 Loan. Borrower has requested and Lender has agreed
to provide to Borrower a revolving line of credit in the maximum amount of Seven Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($7.200,000.00). From time to time during the term of the Loan, at such times as Borrower is not in default hereunder
or under the Note or Trust Deed, Lender shall make Advances to Borrower for any purpose, in the form of deposits to Borrower’s account or such other account as selected by Borrower, but in no event shall the sum of all cash Advances outstanding
at any time exceed the lesser of. (a) the “Borrowing Base” (as defined hereinafter); or (b) Seven Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($7,200,000.00). 
  
 2.2 Advances. The date and amount of each Advance made by Lender and of each repayment of principal thereon received by

or accruing thereon. 
  

 2 








 2.3 Borrowing; Base. The Trust Deed shall encumber in a first lien position the following parcels of
property having the noted appraised values as of the date hereof (“Appraised Value”) (said parcels, less any parcels released from the Trust Deed from time to time, are collectively called the Collateral Pool): 
  

				
	 LOCATION

	  	APPRAISED
VALUE


	 1. 674 Brier Drive,
 San Bernardino, California (“IRC Property”)
	  	$	6,200,00.00
		
	 2. 390 East Hospitality Way
 San Bernardino, California (“TGI Property”)
	  	$	1,850,000.00
		
	 3. 555 East Hospitality Way
 San Bernardino, California (“CC Property”)
	  	$	5,400,000.00
		
	 TOTAL:
	  	$	13,450,000.00

  
 2.3.1 The maximum
outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall not exceed at any time the lesser of fifty-four percent (54%) of the appraised value of the Collateral Pool (“Borrowing Base”) or Seven Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars
($7,200,000.00). Accordingly, the Borrowing Base as of the date hereof is Seven Million Two Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($7,200,000.00.00). 
  
 2.3.2 Provided Borrower is not in default under the Loan, Borrower may remove parcels from the Collateral Pool and thereby revise the Borrowing Base
downward, as follows: 
  
 (a) Release. Provided Borrower is not
in default hereunder, Borrower shall be entitled to request that Lender release the lien of the Trust Deed from one or more parcels of the Collateral Pool upon either payment of a cash release price and/or a reduction in the Borrowing Base in an
amount equal to the portion of the then Borrowing Base allocable to said parcel or parcels to be released which is required to be paid in order to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the new, reduced Borrowing Base required
amount, thereby decreasing the Borrowing Base in either case. The allocable portion of the Borrowing Base shall be $2,915,000.00 for the CC Property, $1,000,000.00 for the TGI Property and $3,350,000.00 for the IRC Property. At the time of the
release of the IRC Property, the real property described as Parcel IV in the Trust Deed shall be released for no consideration. 
  
 (b) Example 1: At the time of the release, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan is $7,200,000.00 and the property to be released is the CC
Property. The Borrowing Base is reduced to fifty-four percent (54%) of the Appraised Value of the remaining Collateral (TGI Property and the IRC Property) ($8,050,000.00), being the amount of $4,347,000.00, resulting in a required cash release price
payment of $2,853,000.00 to be applied to the principal balance of the Loan. 
  

 3 








 Example 2: Same facts as in Example 1, except that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the
time of the release is $4,000,000.00. No cash release price is due since the Loan balance is less than the new Borrowing Base of $4,347,000.00. 
  
 2.4 Written and Telephone Notice Authorizations. Unless and until Borrower delivers to Lender written notice to the contrary, Borrower shall request
Advances either in writing or by facsimile (510-351-8828) or by telephone (510-346-7338). If requested by Lender, within three (3) days after a telephonic or facsimile authorization, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written confirmation of such
telephonic authorization. Borrower understands that it shall be fully responsible for any and all Advances outstanding under the Note which are made in reliance on telephone calls, and that Borrower’s failure to send a written confirmation will
not negate the previous telephonic request. 
  
 2.5 Loan. Lender
and Borrower agree that Lender shall make the Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall accept the Loan upon the terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties contained herein. All Advances disbursed hereunder shall be evidenced by the Note
and all Advances shall bear interest from the date of the Advance until paid at the rate of Borrower’s Interest or Default Interest, as the case may be, and shall be secured by the Trust Deed. 
  
 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER. Borrower represents and
warrants, which representations and warranties shall survive any investigations, inspections or inquiries made by Lender or any of its representatives or the disbursement of Loan proceeds hereunder, that: 
  
 3.1 Financial Statements. The financial statements heretofore delivered to
Lender are true and correct in all respects, fairly present the respective financial conditions of the subjects thereof as of their respective dates; no materially adverse change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein since their
respective dates and no additional borrowings have been made by Borrower since the date thereof other than the borrowing contemplated hereby or approved by Lender. 
  
 3.2 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or
affecting it, or the Property, or involving the validity or enforceability of the Trust Deed or the priority of the lien thereof, at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority. 
  
 3.3 No Breach. The consummation of the transaction hereby contemplated and
performance of this Agreement, the Note and Trust Deed will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under any mortgage, deed of trust, lease, bank loan or security agreement, corporate charter, by laws or other instrument to which the
Borrower is a party or by which it may be bound or affected. 
  
 3.4 Other Liens. Borrower has made no contract or arrangement of any kind, the performance of which by the other party thereto would give rise to a lien on the Property or any portion thereof. 
  

 4 








 3.5 No Default. There is no default on the part of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note or the Trust
Deed, and no event has occurred and is continuing which with notice or the passage of time or either would constitute a default under any term or provision thereof.

by dividing (i) the Net Operating Income, as hereinafter defined, generated by rents from tenants in occupancy under leases of the parcels constituting the Property paying rent for a specified period of time, taking into account any vacancy factor
