amount, whichever is greater, with extended coverage endorsement covering all assets located on the Properties, as approved by Lender;
notify Lender of any change in the status of any such insurance within 15 days of Borrower’s receipt of notice of any such change;
and name Lender as mortgagee and loss-payee with respect to all proceeds of property insurance (including both the all-risk property insurance
and business income insurance) pursuant to a mortgagee clause and lender loss payable clause satisfactory to Lender and name Lender as
additional insured with respect to all liability policies. Borrower shall also maintain or cause to be maintained and provide Lender with
evidence of workers’ compensation insurance satisfactory to Lender in such amount as is required by applicable law and including
employer’s liability insurance, if required by Lender. The proceeds of any such insurance upon the Properties and Improvements business
personal property shall be applied toward the repair or restoration of the Properties and Improvements or to the payment of the Loan Obligations,
at Lender’s option and in such order as Lender may elect, whether or not such Loan Obligations are then due and without affecting
Lender’s interest in the Collateral. Upon an Event of Default, Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to
cause the issuance of or an endorsement of any policy to bring Borrower into compliance herewith and to make any claim for, receive payment
for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage under any such insurance
policy;


 


(b)  If
applicable, a flood insurance policy on the Improvements and Borrower’s owned contents, if any, in form and amount acceptable to

to time be in effect; and


 


(c)  Such
other insurance as may be required from time to time by Lender in order to comply with any regulatory requirements imposed on Lender by
an applicable governing body or regulatory body.


 






    11


     


    

 


All policies must be issued
by companies licensed to do business in North Carolina reasonably satisfactory to Lender on policy forms reasonably satisfactory to Lender
and containing a standard clause designating the Lender as loss payee and additional insured. Such policies shall provide that such policy
shall not be canceled or modified without at least 30 days prior written notice to Lender and shall provide that any loss otherwise payable
thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture
of all or a part of such insurance payment. Borrower shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than 30
days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver to Lender acceptable evidence of insurance, such as a renewal
policy or policies marked “premium paid” or other evidence satisfactory to Lender reflecting that all required insurance is
current and in force. Borrower will immediately give notice to Lender of any cancellation of, or change in, any insurance policy. Lender
shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving, or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (a) the existence, nonexistence,
form, or legal sufficiency thereof, (b) the solvency of any insurer, or (c) the payment of losses.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender agrees that Lender shall make the net proceeds of insurance (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses) available to Borrower
for Borrower’s repair, restoration, and replacement of the Properties and Improvements on the following terms and subject to Borrower’s
satisfaction of the following conditions:


 


(a)  At
the time of such loss or damage and at all times thereafter while Lender is holding any portion of such proceeds, there shall exist no
Event of Default;


 


(b)  The
applicable Property and Improvements for which loss or damage has resulted shall be capable of being restored to its pre-existing condition
and utility in all material respects with a value equal to or greater than prior to such loss or damage and shall be capable of being
completed prior to the maturity of the Loan;


 


(c)  Within
30 days from the date of such loss or damage Borrower shall have given Lender a written notice electing to have the proceeds applied for
such purpose;


 


(d)  The
tenants affected by such damage shall have confirmed in writing that they will not cancel their Leases as a result of such damage; and


 


(e)  Within
60 days following the date of notice under the preceding subparagraph (c) and prior to any proceeds being disbursed to Borrower, Borrower
shall have provided to Lender all of the following:


 


(i)  complete
plans and specifications for restoration, repair and replacement of the appliable Property and Improvements damaged to the condition,
utility and value required by (b) above,


 


(ii)  if
loss or damage exceeds $100,000, then fixed-price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contracts for completion of the repair and restoration
work in accordance with such plans and specifications,


 


(iii)  builder’s
risk insurance for the full cost of construction with Lender named under a standard mortgagee loss-payable clause,


 


(iv)  such
additional funds as in Lender’s reasonable opinion are necessary to complete the repair, restoration, and replacement, and


 


(v)  copies
of all permits and licenses necessary to complete the work in accordance with the plans and specifications;


 






    12


     


    

 


(f)  Lender
will, at Borrower’s expense, retain an independent inspector to review and approve plans and specifications and completed construction
and to approve all requests for disbursement, which approvals shall be conditions precedent to release of proceeds as work progresses;


 


(g)  No
portion of such proceeds shall be made available by Lender for architectural reviews or for any other purposes which are not directly
attributable to the cost of repairing, restoring, or replacing the Property and Improvements for which a loss or damage has occurred unless
the same are covered by such insurance;


 


(h)  Borrower
shall commence such work within 120 days of such loss or damage and shall diligently pursue such work to completion;


 


(i)  Lender
shall have a first lien and security interest in all building materials and completed repair and restoration work and in all fixtures
and equipment acquired with such proceeds, and Borrower shall execute and deliver such deed of trust, mortgage, security agreements, financing
statements and other instruments as Lender shall request to create, evidence, or perfect such lien and security interest; and


 


(j)  In
the event and to the extent such proceeds are not required or used for the repair, restoration and replacement of the applicable Property
and Improvements, for which a loss or damage has occurred, or in the event Borrower fails to timely make such election or having made
such election fails to timely comply with the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall be entitled without notice to or consent
from Borrower to apply such proceeds, or the balance thereof, at Lender’s option either (i) to the full or partial payment or prepayment
of the Loan Obligations in the manner aforesaid, (ii) to the repair, restoration and/or replacement of all or any part of the applicable
Property and Improvements for which a loss or damage has occurred, or (iii) Lender may release the balance of such net proceeds to Borrower.


 


Upon an Event of Default,
Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to cause the issuance of or an endorsement of any policy to bring Borrower into
compliance herewith and, at Lender’s sole option, to make any claim for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks
or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage covered under any such insurance policy; however, in no event will Lender be
liable for failure to collect any amounts payable under any insurance policy. Lender shall not take any actions as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact
unless an Event of Default exists under this Loan Agreement.

in perfecting the lien status or priority of the Collateral and all other out-of-pocket expenses of Lender directly related to the Loan
or the protection and preservation of the Properties and Improvements or the enforcement of any provision of this Loan Agreement, including,
without limitation, recording fees and taxes, tax, title and lien search charges, title insurance charges, consultants’, engineers’
and reasonable attorneys’ fees based on actual time expended and not on any statutory presumption (including reasonable attorneys’
fees at trial and on any appeal by either Borrower or Lender), real property taxes and insurance premiums; and to indemnify against, and
hold Lender and any Representatives harmless from, any loss, or liability on account of any claim by any party arising out of the Loan
or Lender’s or any Representative interest in or lien upon any of the Properties.

(b)  To
incur no other indebtedness in any manner secured in whole or in part by the Properties, Improvements, or any income to be derived therefrom,
without the prior written consent of Lender, except for business expenses, trade accounts payable or accrued in the ordinary course of
business (provided that the same shall be paid substantially when due in accordance with customary trade terms unless contested by appropriate
proceedings), and other obligations and liabilities other than for borrowed money incurred in the ordinary course of business.


 


(c)  All
indebtedness owing by Borrower to any of its shareholders and/or affiliate and related entities shall be fully subordinated to the prior
payment of all of the indebtedness owing from time to time by Borrower to Lender on terms, and in a form, acceptable to Lender.

which are binding upon it;

has been no material adverse change in the financial or other condition for the Properties and Improvements or the financial condition

(iv)  The

5.11  Debt
Service Coverage Ratio Requirement. Borrower will maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio (the “DSCR”)
of not less than 1.25 to 1.00, measured on an annual basis, for the Properties and Improvements securing the loan. DSCR shall mean the
Net Operating Income for the Properties Improvements divided by Annual Debt Service for the Properties and Improvements. The DSCR will

Operating Income” is defined as the sum of gross rents plus CAM charges, minus cash operating expenses excluding interest expense.

actual rate on all indebtedness secured by the Property.


 


If, as of each DSCR test date,
it is determined in Lender’s sole discretion that the required minimum DSCR of 1.25 to 1.00 has not been met, Lender shall, at its
option, require Borrower to either (a), immediately make a mandatory principal payment on the Loan in an amount that will be sufficient
to reduce the principal balance of the Loan to an amount satisfactory to Lender so that the required minimum DSCR of 1.25 to 1.00 is met,
or (b) deposit with Lender a reserve amount equal to 12 months of debt service payments under the Loan to be held at Lender as additional
collateral for said Loan. The failure to satisfy either (a) or (b) above shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents.
Should Borrower be required to deposit the required funds into a reserve account, Borrower agrees that it will promptly enter into the
appropriate account documentation as reasonably required by Lender.


 


5.12  Maintain
Existence. To maintain its existence as a limited liability company and to permit no changes in the membership interests of Borrower
without the prior written approval of Lender.


 


5.13  Comply
with Other Loan Documents. To perform all its Loan Obligations under the Note, Deeds of Trust, Mortgage, Assignments of Leases
and Rents, and all other Loan Documents.

Appraisals. To provide to Lender, at Lender’s request, reappraisals of the Properties and any Improvements in a form and
by an appraiser selected by Lender, and to pay all costs associated with such reappraisals at any time while the Loan remains outstanding,
if an Event of Default exists under this Loan Agreement or if required by federal regulation; provided, however, Borrower shall not be
responsible for the costs of more than one such appraisal in a 12- month period.


 


5.19  Assignment
or Conveyance. To permit no conveyance, lease, mortgage, or any other alienation or encumbrance of the Properties or Improvements,
unless Lender’s prior written approval is first obtained which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Lender’s
prior written approval shall not be required for utility easements and other encumbrances that are necessary for the operation of the
business in the Improvements provided such utilities do not adversely affect the business (each a “Necessary Encumbrance”),
and upon request, Lender will execute a subordination of its lien to such Necessary Encumbrance in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Lender.


 


5.20  Supervision
and Inspection. Upon reasonable advance written notice from Lender, and during normal business hours, grant Lender and its Representatives
full and complete access to all Collateral and to the records, correspondence and other papers relating to the Collateral, and the right
to inspect, examine, verify, and make abstracts from and copies of the Collateral and the records, correspondence and papers, and to investigate
such other activities and business of Borrower as Lender and its Representatives may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate at the time,
provided that (i) such Lender access shall not unduly or unreasonably burden, hinder or delay Borrower or tenant’s use, possession
or occupation of the Properties, and (ii) unless an Event of Default is then in existence, any such Lender access (and related activities)
granted more than one time per calendar year shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense, and Borrower shall not have any responsibility
to reimburse Lender for any costs related to the same.


 


5.21  Name
Change; Jurisdictional Change. Notify Lender at least 30 days prior to the effective date of any change of its name or the jurisdiction
of its organization (whether by merger or otherwise), and prior to such effective date Borrower shall have executed any required amended
or new UCC financing statements and other documents necessary to maintain and continue the perfected security interests of Lender in all
of the Collateral and shall have taken such other actions and executed such documents as Lender shall reasonably require.

Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, against any or all of the Loan Obligations of Borrower under this Loan Agreement
or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter existing, whether or not such Loan Obligations have matured. Lender agrees promptly to notify

of such set off and application.

To accelerate maturity of the Note and any other indebtedness of Borrower to Lender arising under this Loan Agreement, the Deeds of Trust,
the Mortgage, or any other instrument or document related to the Loan, and demand payment of the principal sum due thereunder, with interest,

agreement between Borrower and Lender or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure
to take action on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender or their
agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

All representations and warranties made herein and in documents delivered in support of the Loan shall be deemed to have been material
and relied on by Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Note, the Deeds of Trust, the Mortgage and the disbursements
and advances of funds made pursuant to this Loan Agreement.


 


9.6  Heading.
All descriptive headings of articles and sections in this Loan Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the construction

Inapplicability or unenforceability of any provisions of this Loan Agreement shall not limit or impair the operation or validity of any
other provision of this Loan Agreement.


 


9.8  Counterparts.
This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but
such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.


 


9.9  Assignability.
Neither this Loan Agreement, nor any rights or Loan Obligations hereunder, nor any advance to be made hereunder, is assignable by Borrower.
Borrower will not convey, except as provided in Article VII, or encumber any of the Properties or Improvements by mortgage or other
lien without the prior written consent of Lender. Upon at least ten days prior written notice to Borrower, the rights of Lender under
this Loan Agreement are assignable in part or wholly and any assignee of Lender shall succeed to and be possessed of the rights of Lender
hereunder to the extent of the assignment made, including the right to make advances to Borrower or any approved assignee of Borrower
in accordance with this Loan Agreement.


 


9.10  No

between Lender and any materialmen, subcontractors, craftsmen, laborers, or any other person supplying any work, labor or materials on
the Properties.


 


9.11  Waiver.
No course of dealing and no delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or with respect to any indebtedness
of Borrower to Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Lender may remedy any default by Borrower
to Lender or any other person, firm or corporation in any reasonable manner without waiving the default remedied and without waiving any
other prior or subsequent default by Borrower and shall be reimbursed for any and all of its expenses in so remedying such default. All
rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative.


 


9.12  Collateral
Assignment. Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all Borrower’s right, title, and interest in:


 


(a)  Borrower’s
books and records relating to the Properties and Improvements, and

(b)  All
contracts now or hereafter made by Borrower relating to the Property and Improvements or the equipping, marketing, management, sale or
lease of all or any part of the Properties and Improvements.


 


Borrower agrees that upon
any Event of Default under this Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the absolute right to make such use of the Collateral as Lender shall
desire, and, as to any such property which is also the subject of a security agreement or financing statement in favor of Lender, that
Lender will not be limited to remedies available under the UCC, but may at its option avail itself of the rights granted herein in addition
to or in substitution for its UCC remedies.


 


9.13  Attorney’s
Fees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, or the language of N.C.G.S. Sec. 6-212, “legal
fees,” “legal expenses,” “attorneys’ fees,” “reasonable attorney fees” and similar expressions
used in the Loan Documents shall mean the amount actually charged by the attorneys (based on time actually spent and customary hourly
rates) retained by Lender in exercising its rights under the Loan Documents.


 


9.14  Controlling

IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT OR IMPAIR LENDER’S RIGHT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR LENDER’S RIGHT TO BRING
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR BORROWER’S PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
