Reserve at the time when due, no late charge or Default Interest shall accrue by reason of the failure to pay when due.

 2.4 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest and fees shall be calculated on
the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed, unless use of a three hundred sixty (360) day year would result in collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, in which case interest shall
be calculated based on and strictly limited to the Maximum Rate. 
 2.5 Manner and Treatment of Payments. Each payment hereunder or
under the Note or under any other Loan Document shall be made to Lender at the place and time(s) provided herein or in the Note. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for the Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 2.7 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by Lender not to require payment of any interest (including, without limitation, Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan
Document on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of Lender’s right to require full payment of any other interest (including, without limitation, Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document on

 35 

 
and a construction progress schedule reflecting, among other things, the anticipated dates of completion of and the timing of disbursements of incremental
amounts of various subcategories of the construction budget, all in such form and containing such detail as Lender shall reasonably require. Borrower shall not amend or modify the Construction Schedule, except in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 5.2. 
 (b) Lender Approval. The Construction Schedule includes appropriate allowance for the
Lender’s review and approval where and as required by the Loan Documents, including without limitation approval of all additional agreements with Designers, Prime Contractors, or Design Builders required for the completion of the Plans and
Specifications and/or completion of the Construction, all of which agreements are described in either Part II of Schedule 1.1(C) hereto, Part II of Schedule 1.1(D) hereto, or Part II of Schedule 1.1(D)
hereto. Borrower acknowledges and accepts (a) the obligation, pursuant to the Loan Documents (including without limitation Sections 5.4(f) 5.5(f), and Section 5.6(f) hereof, as applicable) to employ only properly
qualified, certified, registered and/or licensed designers and contractors in relation to the Construction, and (b) Lender’s rights, pursuant to the Loan Documents (including without limitation Sections 5.4(e), 5.5(e),
5.6(e), 5.8(b), and 6.18 hereof, as applicable) to prior approval of any new agreement or modification to any existing agreement with any Designer, Prime Contractor, or Design-Builder. 
 (c) Amendment to Construction Schedule. The Construction Schedule shall provide that the Construction contemplated by the Contract
Documents will be Substantially Complete on or before the Substantial Completion Date. It shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, and Lender shall no longer be obligated to make disbursements hereunder, in the event that
(i) Construction is not proceeding in accordance with and is behind the Construction Schedule, subject to subparagraph (d) below, and Borrower fails to cause the Construction to conform to the Construction Schedule within thirty
(30) days of Lender’s notice to Borrower of such delay, or (ii) Lender determines in its commercially reasonable discretion that Borrower will not likely achieve Substantial Completion on or prior to the Substantial Completion Date or
Final Completion by the Final Completion Date, subject to subparagraph (d) below. 
 (d) Force Majeure. If the

specify in sufficient detail the events causing the Force Majeure, Borrower’s best estimate of the delay in construction to be caused by the Force Majeure and how Borrower intends to respond to the event of Force Majeure. So long as (i) no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) such Force Majeure shall not cause or result in a default violation by Borrower under any Management Agreement, any Prime Contract or any of the Licenses, Permits and Approvals, Lender
shall extend the Substantial Completion Date, by a period of time equal to the period of the Force Majeure if and only if Borrower deposits into the Interest Reserve any amount determined necessary by Lender to cause the balance in the Interest
Reserve to be sufficient to pay debt service under the Loan during the period of delay (but in no event shall said relief exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate). Any such extension, however, shall not affect the time for performance of, or

(10) days behind the Construction Schedule and Borrower reasonably anticipates that Borrower will achieve Substantial Completion by the Substantial Completion Date, Borrower shall have no obligation to inform Lender or the Construction
Consultant or to revise the Construction Schedule. If the Construction is ten (10) Business Days or more behind the Construction Schedule, Borrower shall inform Lender and the Construction Consultant and shall prepare for Lender’s
approval, by delivery to Lender and Construction Consultant within three (3) days after Borrower recognizes, or should have recognized the delay, a revised Construction Schedule, which shall identify with specificity Borrower’s requested
changes and shall be accompanied by Borrower’s written statement of the reason for each change. Lender shall approve or disapprove the revised Construction Schedule within five (5) Business Days of receipt of Borrower’s complete
submission in accordance with the preceding sentence. If Lender’s approval of the revised Construction Schedule is required pursuant to this Section, Lender need make no further disbursements of the Loan or the Reserves unless and until Lender
approves the revised Construction Schedule; provided that, if Lender approves a change order, and such change order contemplates a modification to the Construction Schedule, such modification to the Construction Schedule shall be deemed approved
upon Lender’s approval of the change order.

Builder not yet under contract which Borrower, Construction Manager, or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any Designer, Prime Contractor, or Design Builder currently under contract expects to employ in association with the completion of the
Plans and Specifications or the performance of the remaining work of Construction, all of which are disclosed by either Part II of Schedule 1.1(C) hereto, Part II of Schedule 1.1(D) hereto, or Part II of

payable to and no portion of the proceeds of the Loan shall be paid to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower except as set forth on Schedule 4.20 hereto. 
 (d) Contingency Line Items. Subject to the prior written approval of Lender, Borrower may revise the Construction Budget from time
to time to move (i) amounts available under any line item for Hard Costs that are designated as “Contingency” to other line items for Hard Costs in the Construction Budget, and/or (ii) amounts available under any line item for
Soft Costs that are designated as “Contingency” to other line items for Soft Costs in a Construction Budget provided that Lender may require that Borrower maintain a minimum contingency at all times until Substantial Completion of not less
than five percent (5%) of remaining Hard Costs and four percent (4%) of the remaining Soft Costs or such lesser amount that Lender may approve in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 (e) Cost Savings. If there is a Cost Saving in a particular line item of a Construction Budget, and if such Cost Saving is
substantiated by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender and verified by the Construction Consultant, then Borrower shall have the right, upon prior written approval of Lender, to reallocate such Cost Saving to another line item with respect to
which additional costs have been or may be incurred in the Construction Budget or to a “Contingency” line item in that Construction Budget; provided, however, that Borrower shall in no event or under any circumstances have
the right to: 
 (1) reallocate any portion of the line items for interest, fees and other expenses payable hereunder prior to
Final Completion; 
 (2) reallocate any savings in any line item for Hard Costs to a line item other than another Hard Costs
line item, without in each instance obtaining the prior approval of Lender and verification by the Construction Consultant, which approval may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender; or 
 (3) cause a reallocation to occur that in the opinion of Lender, its counsel or Title Company will be in contravention of applicable Law
with respect to Liens, or that in the opinion of Lender, its counsel or Title Company will adversely affect or impair in any manner whatsoever the lien or the priority of lien of the applicable Deed of Trust. 
 (f) Determination of Cost Savings. For the purposes hereof, “Cost Saving” shall be defined and determined as
follows: 
 (1) if the component of the Construction (other than interest on the Loan payable hereunder) which is the subject
of a line item shall be determined by Lender and verified by the Construction Consultant to have been completed without the expenditure of the entire amount allocated in the Construction Budget to such line item, and all Prime Contractors,
Design-Builders, subcontractors and other Persons have been paid in full for work performed and materials provided with respect to the component of the Construction which is the subject of such line item other than applicable retainage, the
difference between the amount of such line item in the Construction Budget and the 

  

 38 

 
amount so expended for such line item (including applicable retainage) shall be deemed to be a Cost Saving. 
 (2) if prior to the completion of the component of the Construction which is the subject of a line item with respect to the Property
(other than the line item for interest payable hereunder or any line item designated as “Contingency”), Borrower shall demonstrate to Lender’s and the Construction Consultant’s satisfaction that upon completion of such component,
a Cost Saving will be realized pursuant to clause a. above with respect to such component, the amount of such Cost Saving which is demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction shall be deemed to be a Cost Saving. 
 (3) Borrower shall not be permitted to create any new line items without Lender’s prior written consent and, if created with
Lender’s consent, the line item designated ‘Contingency’ may not be reallocated to any such new line item, without Lender’s prior written consent. To the extent not paid for by reallocating the line item designated as
“Contingency” or Cost Savings, any new line items shall be paid for by Borrower from sources other than Loan proceeds.

accordance therewith, shall be ready for the intended use thereof and shall comply with the requirements of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) Changes; Lender Consent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower shall not make any changes in the Plans and Specifications without Lender’s prior written consent if such change: (i) constitutes a
change in the building material or equipment specifications, or in the architectural or structural design, value or quality of any of the Improvements; (ii) would result in an increase of construction costs in excess of $50,000 for any single
change or in excess of $250,000 for all such changes with respect to the Property; (iii) would affect the structural integrity, quality of building materials or equipment, or overall

necessary for Lender to make an informed decision on such request. Borrower shall not implement any change order that requires Lender’s consent hereunder unless Lender consents to such change order. Borrower shall not implement any change order
which affects the Plans and Specifications without delivering to Lender updated Plans and Specifications reflecting such change order, regardless of whether Lender’s consent to such change order is required. Requests for any change which
requires consent shall be accompanied by working drawings to the extent appropriate to the nature of the requested change order and a written description of the proposed change, submitted on a change order form acceptable to Lender, signed by
Borrower and by the Architect and the Construction Manager. At its option, Lender may require Borrower to provide: (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the cost and time necessary to complete the proposed change; (ii) a deposit in the

 (d) Consent Process. Any delay in Lender’s review and approval beyond the date required under subparagraph (b) above when
Lender has received all information required in connection with Borrower’s request may extend the Substantial Completion Date but only to the extent that such delay actually causes a delay in the progress of the Construction and so long as the
Substantial Completion Date is not, was not or would not have been delayed by any other cause for which Borrower is not entitled to an extension of time hereunder. 
 (e) Limitation on Person Preparing Plans and Specifications. No part of the Plans and Specifications, including without limitation
those documents to be prepared or completed after Closing listed in Part II of Schedule 1.1(B) hereto, shall at any time incorporate any plan, specification, rendering, data or work product of any Person other than: (i) those
prepared by Architect, (ii) those prepared by a Designer, or (iii) those prepared by a Design-Builder, in each case in accordance with all relevant provisions of this Loan Agreement.

Design-Build Prime Contracts, disapprove any Designer, consultant, contractor, subcontractor or material supplier which, in Lender’s determination, is deemed financially or otherwise unqualified or which is inadequately insured or bonded;
provided, however, that the absence of any such disapproval shall not constitute a warranty or representation of qualification by Lender. Lender may contact any such Prime Contractor, Design-Builder, Designer, subcontractor or material supplier with
Architect or Borrower’s construction representative to discuss the course of construction. 
 5.9 Prohibited Contracts. Without
Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not contract for the purchase or leasing of any materials, furnishings, equipment, fixtures or other parts or components of the Improvements, if any third party shall retain any ownership interest
(other than lien rights created by operation of law) in such items after their delivery to the Property and Improvements. Borrower shall have five (5) days to effect the removal of any such retained interest. In the event Lender approves any

preliminary 20-day notices (California Civil Code Section 3097) received by Borrower.

5.13 Inspections. Lender shall have the right to enter upon the Property and the Separate Property at all reasonable times to
inspect the Improvements and any construction work to verify information disclosed or required pursuant to this Agreement provided that Lender shall not unreasonably interfere with such work or Construction. Any inspection or review of the
Improvements by Lender is solely to determine whether Borrower and the Separate Property Owner are properly discharging their obligations to Lender and may not be relied upon by Borrower, the Separate Property Owner, or any third party as a
representation or warranty of compliance with this Agreement or any other agreement. Lender owes no duty of care to Borrower, the Separate Property Owner, or any third party to protect against, or to inform Borrower, the Separate Property Owner, or
any third party of, any negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or repair, remodeling, renovation or construction of the Improvements as determined by Lender. 
 5.14 Surveys. Upon Lender’s written request, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender and Construction Consultant, with
respect to the Property: (a) upon completion of the foundations of the Improvements, a survey showing the location of the Improvements on Property and confirming that the Improvements are located entirely within the Property and do not encroach
upon any easement, or breach or violate any governmental requirement; and (b) upon Final Completion, an as-built survey acceptable to a title insurer for purposes of issuing an ALTA policy of title insurance. All such surveys shall be performed
and certified by a licensed engineer or surveyor acceptable to the Title Company.

(“Set Aside Letter”) to any governmental agency (“Obligee”) or bonding company (“Surety”) whereby Lender agrees to allocate Loan proceeds for the construction of off-site, common area, or other
improvements required by any governmental agency or for which bonds or letters of credit may be required (“Bonded Work”) in connection with the development of the Property, Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as
follows: 
 (a) The sum which Borrower requests Lender to allocate for the Bonded Work shall be sufficient to pay for the construction and
completion cost of the Bonded Work in accordance with any agreement between Borrower and Obligee and a copy of such agreement shall be furnished to Lender by Borrower prior to and as a condition precedent to the issuance by Lender of any Set Aside
Letter. 
 (b) Lender is irrevocably and unconditionally authorized to disburse to the Obligee or Surety all or any portion of said allocated
Loan proceeds upon a demand of such Surety or Obligee made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Set Aside Letter. 
 (c) Any
disbursements or payments which Lender makes or may be obligated to make under any Set Aside Letter, whether made directly to the Surety, Obligee, or to others for completion of all or part of the Bonded Work, shall be deemed a disbursement under
this Agreement to or for the benefit or account of Borrower.

hereof. Lender’s estimates of the amounts necessary to pay the foregoing amounts shall be binding and conclusive provided it is made in good faith and absent manifest error.

respect to any matter pertaining to the Construction or Substantial Completion or Final Completion. Borrower acknowledges that (i) Construction Consultant has been retained by Lender, to act as a consultant and only as a consultant to Lender,
in connection with the Construction and has no duty to Borrower, (ii) the Construction Consultant shall in no event or under any circumstance have any power or authority to make any decision or to give any approval or consent or to do any other

change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Management Agreement without such prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect. 
 (e) If Borrower or the Separate Property Owner shall default in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of any Management Agreement on the part of Borrower or the Separate Property Owner to be
performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality or the other provisions of this Loan Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower or the Separate Property Owner from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right,
but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act, or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of such Management Agreement on the part of Borrower or the Separate Property
Owner to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower or the Separate Property Owner to end that the rights of Borrower or the Separate Property Owner, as applicable, in, to and under such Management Agreement
shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. In such event, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted the right to enter upon the Property or the Separate Property, as applicable, at any time and from time to
time while such default remains uncured for the purpose of taking any such action. If a Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower or the Separate Property Owner of a default under any Management Agreement, such notice
shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. 
 (f) Borrower and the Separate Property Owner shall, from time to time obtain from the Manager under any Management Agreement to which any of them is a party such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower or the

protection only and Lender shall not be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower or any third party as a result of any such action. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nor any event or circumstance exists, which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default exists, Lender shall endeavor to give Borrower prior written or oral notice of such inspection at a site other than the Property, but Lender’s failure to give
such notice shall not be a default by Lender or a limitation on Lender’s right to inspect.

wherever located, and the Separate Property Owner shall cooperate with Lender in enabling Lender to accomplish such inspection and permit Lender to make such copies as Lender may request; provided, however, Lender’s inspection shall not

or forfeiture of all or any part of the Property and the Separate Property for non-payment of such Lien, if Lender reasonably believes that such sale or forfeiture is threatened. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Lien for which a
deposit was made shall be promptly repaid to Borrower or the Separate Property Owner, as applicable, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the Obligations.

satisfied by a Mezzanine Loan, (i) the Mezzanine Loan Documents shall be acceptable to Lender; (ii) the Mezzanine Loan Documents shall not encumber the Property or the Separate Property or any other collateral of Lender, but may encumber

under Borrower’s tax identification number and shall remain in the Construction Reserve as collateral for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 (d) In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Construction Reserve if an Event of Default exists under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Borrower’s failure to pay in full any fees, costs and expenses then due and payable under this Agreement) or under any of the other Loan Documents, or if an act, event or condition shall have occurred

any disbursement from the Construction Draw Account if an Event of Default exists under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Borrower’s failure to pay in full any fees, costs and expenses then due and payable under this Agreement) or
under any of the other Loan Documents, or if an act, event or condition shall have occurred and then be existing that with notice and/or the lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

the Loan, separate quarterly balance sheets and profit and loss statements for the preceding calendar quarter for the Property and for the Separate Property. Such quarterly financial statements shall set forth in comparative form the corresponding
figures for the same month and year-to-date period for the preceding calendar year, and in comparison with the then current Approved Budgets, as applicable and such other reports in respect of the financial condition and operation of the Property
and the Separate Property as Lender may reasonably request. Each financial statement provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be certified by an officer of Borrower or the Separate Property Owner, as applicable, as fairly presenting the financial
condition, results of operations and changes in financial position of the Property or the Separate Property, as applicable, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, consistently applied, as at such date and for such periods,
subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments. 
  

 75 

 (c) As soon as practicable and, in any event, within ninety (90) days after the
close of each Fiscal Year of Borrower and the Separate Property Owner, separate annual financial statements for the Property and for the Separate Property. Such financial statements shall include at least the following: (i) a balance sheet and
profit and loss statement, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures as at the end of the preceding Fiscal Year; (ii) a comparison of the actual cash flow activity for the previous year to the Approved Budgets together with a
written explanation for material variances, as reasonably determined by Lender; and (iii) such other reports in respect of the financial condition of the Property and the Separate Property as Lender may reasonably request. Each financial
statement provided pursuant to this paragraph shall be certified by an officer of Borrower or the Separate Property Owner, as applicable, as fairly presenting the financial condition, results of operations and changes in financial position of the
Property or the Separate Property, as applicable, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, consistently applied, as at such date and for such periods. 
 (d) As soon as practicable and, in any event, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each Fiscal Year of Borrower,
(i) an audited balance sheet of Borrower as at the end of such Fiscal Year, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures as at the end of the preceding Fiscal Year; (ii) an audited profit and loss statement of Borrower,
setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the previous Fiscal Year; (iii) an audited statement of Pledgor’s equity, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the previous Fiscal Year; and
(iv) an audited statement of cash flows of Borrower, all in reasonable detail. An opinion rendered by the independent accounting firm to the effect that the auditor concludes that Borrower’s financial statements do not present
Borrower’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under this Agreement. Borrower’s independent auditing firm shall be approved by Lender. 
 (e) As soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days prior to the end of each calendar year in which the Loan remains
outstanding, a projection of gross revenues, operating expenses, capital expenditures, and debt service for the Property and the Separate Property and Borrower and the Separate Property Owner on a month by month basis for the next succeeding
calendar year, together with all supporting schedules certified by officers of Borrower and the Separate Property Owner, as applicable, to be true, correct and complete. This projection shall be in substantially the same form as the Approved Budgets
and shall be subject to Lender’s approval. Such statements shall contain all information reasonably required by Lender. 
 (f) Promptly after request by Lender, copies of any detailed third party reports submitted to Borrower in connection with the accounts or books of Borrower or the Separate Property Owner or any audit of any of them, if any. 
 (g) Within one (1) Business Day of becoming aware of the existence of any condition or event which constitutes an Event of Default, a
written notice specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action is being taken with respect thereto. 
  

 76 

 (h) Within five (5) days of receipt, Borrower or the Separate Property Owner shall
provide to Lender copies of all reports and notices delivered to Borrower or the Separate Property Owner by the Manager or to Manager by Borrower of the Separate Property Owner. 
 (i) Within five (5) days after the commencement of each calendar month, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written narrative report
in form, detail and scope acceptable to Lender describing the status and recent developments concerning: (i) Borrower’s efforts to procure the Mezzanine Loan and any additional equity required under Section 6.28 hereof;
(ii) Borrower’s marketing and advertising plans and activities; (iii) Borrower’s leasing and/or condominium sales activities; (iv) Borrower’s actions, if any, to sell the Property (or any part thereof) or the Separate
Property Owner’s actions, if any, to sell the Separate Property (or any part thereof) and (v) the refinancing of the Loan at maturity or earlier. Borrower shall inform Lender in writing of any material developments concerning any of the
foregoing matters within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence of such development and shall provide to Lender copies of all letters of intent, term sheets, applications, offers or commitments or any other material correspondence received
or delivered by Borrower with respect to thereto and all marketing and advertising plans and brochures or other marketing and advertising materials within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s receipt or delivery thereof, as applicable.

and is susceptible to cure, Borrower fails to cure such breach of representation or warranty within ten (10) days after notice from Lender; or 
 (g) Any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than the agreement of Lender or satisfaction in full of all the Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect or is

revoke, terminate or rescind same; or 
 (h) A final judgment against Borrower is entered for the payment of money in excess
of $100,000 and such judgment remains unsatisfied without procurement of a stay of execution within thirty (30) days of the rendering of such judgment; or

 (j) Except as otherwise expressly
permitted by any Loan Document or agreed to by Lender, at any time after the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and for any reason other than satisfaction in full of all Obligations, the Lien intended to be created by said Loan Document
ceases or fails to constitute a valid, perfected and subsisting Lien on the Collateral purported to be covered thereby with a Lien priority as set forth in such Loan Document; or 
 (k) Borrower, the Separate Property Owner, or Guarantor shall fail to deliver to Lender any of the financial statements and information or

Lender a plan to cure such deviation or defect which is reasonably acceptable to Lender and Borrower commences action to cure such deviation or defect within twenty (20) days following Lender’s initial written demand so long as Borrower is
actively and diligently pursuing such cure to completion, provided that such cure period shall in no event extend beyond sixty (60) days following Lender’s initial written demand; (ii) there is a cessation of the Construction prior to

 80 

 (d) enter upon the Property and into possession of the Property and any other property
(and exclude Borrower and any other persons therefrom) and cause Final Completion of the Improvements substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, with such changes therein as Lender or Lender’s representative may from time to
time deem appropriate, all at the sole risk, cost and expense of Borrower. Lender or Lender’s representative shall have the right, at any and all times, in its sole discretion to discontinue any work commenced by Lender or Lender’s
representative with respect to the Construction or to change any course of action undertaken by it and shall not be bound by any limitations or requirements of time whether set forth herein or otherwise. Upon acceleration of the Loan, Lender or
Lender’s representative shall have the right and power (but shall not be obligated) to assume all or any portion of the obligations of Borrower under any or all Prime Contracts as Lender or Lender’s representative may elect and to take
over and use all or any part or parts of the labor, materials, supplies and equipment contracted for by or on behalf of Borrower, whether or not previously incorporated into the Property. In connection with any portion of the Construction undertaken
by Lender or Lender’s representative pursuant to the provisions of this Section, Lender or Lender’s representative may do any or all of the following in its sole discretion or, at the direction of the Lender, may elect to: 
 (i) engage builders, general contractors, general and trade contractors, suppliers, architects, engineers, inspectors and others for the
purpose of furnishing labor, materials, equipment and fixtures in connection with the Construction; 
 (ii) amend, modify or
terminate any then existing contracts between Borrower and any of the persons described in the preceding clause (i);

the title of the Property; and 
 (iv) take such other action (including the employment of watchmen and the taking of other
measures to protect the Property) or refrain from acting under this Agreement as Lender or Lender’s representative may in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time determine without any limitation whatsoever. 
 (v) For these purposes, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest. As
attorney-in-fact, Lender may, in Borrower’s name, take or omit to take any action Lender may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, exercising Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents and all contracts concerning the Property
and/or Improvements thereon. 
 (e) Enter upon the Separate Property or any portion thereof and into possession of the
Separate Property and any other property thereon (and exclude the Separate Property Owner and any other persons therefrom). Pursuant to the provisions of this Section, Lender or Lender’s representative may do any or all of the following in its
sole discretion or, at the direction of the Lender, may elect to: 
  

 81 

 (i) pay, settle or compromise all bills or claims which become Liens against the Separate
Property, or which have been or may be incurred in any manner in connection with any improvement, repair, maintenance, or operation thereof or for the discharge of liens, encumbrances or defects in the title of the Property; and 
 (ii) take such other action (including the employment of watchmen and the taking of other measures to protect the Separate Property) or
refrain from acting under this Agreement as Lender or Lender’s representative may in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time determine without any limitation whatsoever. 
 (iii) For these purposes, Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest. As
attorney-in-fact, Lender may, in Borrower’s name, take or omit to take any action Lender may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, exercising Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents and all contracts concerning the Separate
Property and/or Improvements thereon. 
 10.3 Lender’s Cessation of Construction. If Lender reasonably determines at any time
that the Improvements are not being constructed in accordance with the Contract Documents and all governmental requirements, Lender may immediately cause all construction to cease on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of
nonconformance. Borrower shall thereafter not allow any construction work, other than corrective work, to be performed on any of the Improvements affected by the condition of nonconformance until such time as Lender notifies Borrower in writing that
the nonconforming condition has been corrected. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of
Lender provided herein or in the Note or the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power,
privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.
The terms and conditions of Article 3 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of Lender and Lender may waive them in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, without prejudicing Lender’s rights to assert them in whole or
in part at any future time.

Agreement actually close, Borrower shall pay on demand the actual costs and expenses of Lender and its participants in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and of Lender and its participants in
connection with the amendment, waiver, refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto, including, without limitation,
filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, travel expenses, and other out-of-pocket expenses and the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel, independent public accountants and other outside experts

Borrower. Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes (other than income or gross receipts taxes applicable to Lender or its participants) and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection
with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify Lender from

any Borrower Party to perform any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to Lender or its participants under this Section 11.3 shall bear interest from the sixth (6th) day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate until such amount is repaid in full. 
 11.4 Nature of Lender’s Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by Lender pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make Lender a partner of a partnership, an
associate of an association, or a joint venturer of a joint venture or other entity, either with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower and, at all times, the relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be that of a lender and a borrower,
respectively.

 11.7
Participations and Securitization. 
 (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender may elect from time to time in its sole
discretion, on or after the date of this Agreement, to sell, assign or grant participations in the Loan and/or interests in the Loan to one or more Persons at the expense of Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may distribute to such Persons
all documents and information (including, but not limited to, financial information), which has been or is hereafter provided or known to Lender with respect to the Property and its operation and any party connected with the Loan. In the event of
any such sale, assignment or participation, Lender and any such Persons shall share in the rights and obligations of Lender as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent that they agree among themselves. In connection with any such
sale, assignment or participation, Borrower further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligation of Borrower to each purchaser, assignee or participant and, upon written request by Lender, Borrower, at no expense to
Borrower shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be required by Lender in order to evidence any such sale, assignment or participation so long as such amendments or modifications do not increase the liabilities
or obligations of any Borrower Party under the Loan Documents and shall be completed at no expense to any Borrower Party. The indemnity obligations of Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan Documents shall also apply with respect to any purchaser,
assignee or participant. 
 (b) Borrower hereby acknowledges and makes each Note a registered obligation for United States
withholding tax purposes. Borrower shall be the registrar for the Note (the “Registrar”) with full power of substitution. In the event the Registrar becomes unable or unwilling to act as registrar under this Agreement, Borrower shall
reasonably designate a successor Registrar. Any party which acquires a beneficial interest in the Loan (a “Holder”) who is a foreign person, by its acceptance of the Note, hereby agrees to provide Borrower with a completed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 (Certificate of Foreign Status) or a substantially similar form for such Holder, participants or other affiliates who are holders of beneficial interests in the Note. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein
or any of the other Loan Documents, neither the Note nor any interests therein may be sold, transferred, hypothecated, participated or assigned to any Person except upon satisfaction of the conditions specified herein. Each Holder, by its acceptance
of the Note, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this section and to indemnify and hold harmless the Registrar against any and all loss or liability arising from the disposition by such Holder of the Note or any interest therein in violation of
this section. The Registrar shall keep at its principal executive office (or an office or agency designated by it by notice to the last registered Holder) a ledger, in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, but at its
expense (except as specified below), it shall 

  

 85 

 
provide for the registration and transfer of the Note. No sale, transfer, hypothecation, participation or assignment of the Note or the interest therein
shall be effective for any purpose until it shall be registered on the books of the Registrar to be maintained for such purpose. In the event of a sale, transfer, hypothecation, participation or assignment of the Note or any interest therein, each
Holder, prior to such sale, transfer, hypothecation, participation or assignment of the Note or any interest therein shall provide the Registrar with notice of such transaction at the time of such transaction. The Registrar shall record the transfer
of the Note on the books maintained for this purpose upon receipt by the Registrar at the office or agency designated by the Registrar of (i) a written assignment of the Note being assigned (or the applicable interest therein), (ii) funds
sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer as well as the cost of reviewing the documents presented to the Registrar, and (iii) such evidence of due execution as the Registrar shall reasonably require. The
Registrar shall record the transfer of the Note on the books maintained for such purpose at the cost and expense of the assignee. 
 11.8
Counterparts. This Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and
all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument. 
 11.9 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and Borrower may not assign its rights
hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be given or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. 
 11.10 Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Lender and its participants, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees and their respective successors and
assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (other than Lender or a participant) if the claim,
demand, action or cause of action directly or indirectly relates to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person has or asserts against Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any officer, director or principal of Borrower and arises
out of or relates to the relationship between Borrower and Lender under any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; (b) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and

enforcing its rights hereunder and in defending against any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 11.10. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.10 shall be
and hereby is covered and secured by the Loan Documents and the Collateral, and shall survive the expiration or 

  

 86 

 
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loan and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to Lender. 
 11.11 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any
arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in

 (b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed,
performed, fulfilled or given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including any certificate, financial statement, insurance policy or other document, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality,
effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Lender; and 
 (c) The relationship between Borrower and Lender is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of a borrower and lender; Lender shall not
under any circumstance be construed to be a partner or joint venturer of Borrower or its Affiliates; Lender shall not under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or its
Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates; Lender does not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its
Affiliates of any matter in connection with the Property, the Separate Property, any Collateral held by Lender or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to
such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of Lender and neither Borrower nor any other Person is
entitled to rely thereon.

 11.14 Further
Assurances. Borrower shall, at its expense and without expense to Lender do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as Lender from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto Lender of the rights hereby
created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention of facilitating the performance of the

 11.15 Integration. This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, together with the other Loan Documents, comprise the complete and
integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof or thereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict
with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 

11.16 Governing Law. Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in

this Agreement and to the parties involved. 
 11.17 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be
inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of
that provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all the Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

Outstanding Principal Balance and Interest shall be payable as follows: 
  

 5 

 2.1.1 Commencing on the first Payment Date following the Interest Commencement Date, and
continuing on each and every Payment Date thereafter until the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in arrears, the Interest. 
 2.1.2 The Outstanding Principal Balance together with all unpaid Interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Loan may become due. 
 2.1.3 All payments under this Note shall be made in immediately available funds on or before the date when due. 
 2.2 Prepayment. From and after the Disbursement Date of the first Tranche, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to

Date”). On the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) the entire Outstanding Principal Balance; (b) all unpaid Interest thereon; (c) the Prepayment Fee, if any; and (d) all other amounts due under this Note
and the other Loan Documents as of the Prepayment Date provided, however, that Borrower shall not be in default hereunder for failure to prepay the Loan on the Prepayment Date with respect to the first two (2) Prepayment Notices given by
Borrower. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately if Borrower determines that it will not prepay the Loan on any Prepayment Date for any reason. It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to fully repay the Loan on the Prepayment Date with
respect to the third Prepayment Notice given. In addition, in the event Lender agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept a prepayment on a date less than thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by Lender of the Prepayment Notice,
then Borrower shall also pay an amount (the “Prepayment Notice Fee”) equal to the interest at the Interest Rate under this Note on the principal amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance being prepaid for a period equal to the
period of time by which the date between receipt of the Prepayment Notice is less than thirty (30) days prior to the Prepayment Date (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such interest for any portion of such period
prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Disbursement Date (for which Borrower shall pay the Prepayment Fee)). In the event Borrower fails to make the prepayment described in the Prepayment Notice on the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall
have no further right to make a prepayment unless and until Borrower provides a new Prepayment Notice to Lender. Except as set forth herein, no full or partial prepayments of the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be allowed. Borrower acknowledges
that it possesses no right to prepay this Note, except as expressly provided herein. By initialing below, Borrower expressly acknowledges and understands that notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, pursuant to the terms of this Note, it
has agreed that it has no right to prepay this Note without the payment of the Prepayment Fee and the Prepayment Notice Fee, as applicable, including, without limitation, any prepayment resulting from an acceleration of this Note by reason of an
Event of Default, and that except as otherwise provided in this Note and that it shall be liable for 

  

 6 

 
the payment of the Prepayment Fee and the Prepayment Notice Fee, as applicable, for prepayment of this Note on acceleration of this Note in accordance with
its terms. Furthermore, by initialing below, Borrower waives any rights it may have under Section 2954.10 of the California Civil Code, or any successor statute, and expressly acknowledges and understands that Lender has made the Loan in
reliance on these waivers and agreements of Borrower and that Lender would not have made the Loan without such waivers and agreements of Borrower and that Borrower has received separate consideration for the agreements set forth herein. 

Borrower’s initials:             
 2.3 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, any failure to pay
any payment of principal, Interest, Prepayment Fee, Prepayment Notice Fee or Additional Sums when due and such failure continues after any applicable notice or grace period (including the failure to pay all amounts outstanding hereunder on the
Maturity Date or such earlier date upon acceleration of this Note in accordance with its terms), then such principal, Interest, Prepayment Fee, Prepayment Notice Fee or Additional Sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date due
(without regard to grace periods) through and including the date such amount is received by Lender. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Outstanding Principal
Balance shall bear interest at the Default Rate. All interest payable at the Default Rate hereunder is referred to herein as the “Default Interest”. Default Interest shall be payable, from time to time, immediately upon demand.
Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Default Interest provisions are reasonable under the circumstances existing on the date of this Note, that it would be extremely difficult and impractical to fix Lender’s actual damages
arising out of any late payment by Borrower, and that the Default Interest (together with the late charge described in Section 2.8 of this Note, as applicable) shall be conclusively presumed to be the actual amount of such damages
incurred by Lender. 
 2.4 Payments at Maturity; Extension of Maturity. 
 2.4.1 The entire Outstanding Principal Balance, unpaid Interest, the Prepayment Fee (if applicable), the Prepayment Notice Fee (if
applicable), and any and all Additional Sums which are due and payable pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Loan may become due or is
otherwise paid in full. 
 2.4.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have an option (the “First Extension
Option”) to extend the maturity of this Note for a period of six (6) calendar months commencing on the Initial Maturity Date and ending on the First Extended Maturity Date (the “First Extension Period”), upon the terms
and conditions set forth in this Note and upon satisfaction of all the following conditions: 
 (a) No Event of Default or
event which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists upon the date on which the First Extension Option is exercised or on or prior to the commencement date of the First Extension Period;

  

 7 

 (b) Borrower delivers to Lender written notice of its intent to exercise the First
Extension Option not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the then scheduled Maturity Date, which notice shall include payment of the Extension Fee, which Extension Fee is non-refundable to Borrower and shall be deemed fully earned by Lender
upon receipt; 
 (c) The funding of the second Tranche and the satisfaction of all conditions to such funding (as set forth in
the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents) on or prior to the date six (6) months following the date of this Note; 
 (d) Any Mezzanine Loan intended to satisfy the Capitalization Deficiency in whole or part under Section 6.28 of the Loan Agreement shall have been fully funded with (i) all proceeds of the Mezzanine Loan deposited into the
Additional Equity Reserve, (ii) all Mezzanine Loan Documents approved by Lender, and (iii) a subordination and intercreditor agreement executed by the Mezzanine Lender in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. 
 (e) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall obtain the issuance of any endorsements to the Title Policy requested by Lender in connection
with the First Extension Option; 
 (f) Borrower shall have paid to Lender all costs and expenses including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs and documentation charges, incurred in connection with Borrower’s exercise or request to exercise the First Extension Option; and 
 (g) Borrower shall have deposited into the Reserves, including, without limitation, the Tax and Insurance Reserve, the Interest Reserve
and the Construction Reserve, such amounts determined by Lender to be sufficient, when added to the funds then remaining in the Reserves, to pay the amounts likely to be paid from the Reserves during the First Extension Period. 
 Upon satisfaction of the terms above, the “Maturity Date” shall be deemed to be the First Extended Maturity Date. 
 2.4.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower has successfully exercised its First Extension Option, Borrower shall have an
option (the “Second Extension Option”) to extend the maturity of this Note for a period of six (6) calendar months commencing on the First Extended Maturity Date and ending on the Second Extended Maturity Date (the
“Second Extension Period”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Note and upon satisfaction of all the following conditions: 
 (a) No Event of Default or event which, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists upon the date on which the Second Extension Option is exercised or on or
prior to the commencement date of the Second Extension Period; 
 (b) Borrower delivers to Lender written notice of its intent

 2.5 Calculation of Interest. All interest on this Note shall be compounded monthly and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed, unless use of a three hundred sixty (360) day year would result in collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, if any, in which case interest shall be calculated based on the
Maximum Rate. 
 2.6 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2 of this Note regarding
prepayments, prior to, during and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all monies paid by Borrower to Lender, including, without limitation, all fees, charges and Default Interest, shall be applied to the following in such order as Lender
may elect in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) the Additional Sums; (ii) the Prepayment Fee; (iii) the Prepayment Notice Fee; (iv) the late charge as provided in Section 2.8 below; (v) the unpaid Interest;
(vi) Default Interest; (vii) the Outstanding Principal Balance; or (viii) any combination thereof. 
 2.7 Place of Payment;
Business Days. All payments in respect of this Note shall be paid by Borrower to Lender in accordance with Section 2.11 of this Note. If any payment in respect of this Note becomes due and payable on any date which is not a Business
Day, such payment shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day. 
  

 11 

 2.8 Late Charge. If any installment of interest or principal is not paid by the fifth
(5th) day of each month, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount so overdue in order to defray part of the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment or payments. Such late charge shall
be immediately due and payable without notice or demand by Lender. Such late charge shall be in addition to and separate from any increase in interest due hereunder as a result of calculation of Default Interest. Acceptance by Lender of any late
charge or Default Interest shall not be deemed a waiver of any of Lender’s rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to such late payment. Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing late charge
provisions are reasonable under the circumstances existing on the date of this Note, that it would be extremely difficult and impractical to fix Lender’s actual damages arising out of any late payment, and that the foregoing late charge (and
the Default Interest) shall be presumed to be the actual amount of such damages incurred by Lender. 
 2.9 Use of Loan Proceeds.
Borrower certifies to Lender that the Loan evidenced by this Note is obtained for business or commercial purposes and that the proceeds thereof will not be used for personal, family household or agricultural purposes. 
 2.10 Acceleration. If there is an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, declare any or all of the indebtedness due hereunder to be
immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind. 
 2.11 Wire Transfer. All payments in
respect of this Note shall be made by Borrower to Lender by wire transfer of good funds as follows: 
  

					
	Wire to:	  	Bank:	  	City National Bank, Los Angeles, CA
		  	ABA No.:	  	122 016 066
		  	Account Name:	  	Canpartners Realty Holding Company IV LLC
		  	Account No.:	  	210 036 881

 Lender shall have the right to change the foregoing account and other information from time to time in
Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, provided such change will not be effective as to Borrower until Borrower receives notice of such change in accordance with the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.

hereof; (v) agrees that the liability of Borrower shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other person or entity for the payment hereof, and shall not in any manner be affected by any indulgence or forbearance granted
or consented to by Lender to any of them with respect hereto; (vi) consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions hereof, and to the
release of any security at any time given for the payment hereof, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and to the release of any person or entity liable for the payment hereof; (vii) consents to the addition of any and all other
makers, endorsers, guarantors, and other obligors for the payment hereof, and to the acceptance of any and all other security for the payment hereof, and agrees that the addition of any such obligors or security or the taking of any of the other
acts described above shall not affect the liability of Borrower for the payment hereof; and (viii) waives all rights to plead or assert at any time any statute of limitations as a defense or bar to any action or proceeding brought to enforce
this Note or any obligations secured hereby. 
 3.6 Additional Sums as Interest. All fees, charges or other sums payable by Borrower
to Lender pursuant to this Note or otherwise with respect to the Loan, the Obligations, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Additional Sums”), which under the laws of the State of California may be
considered to be interest, shall, for the purpose of any law of the State of California limiting the maximum rate of interest to be charged with respect to the Loan or indebtedness, be payable by Borrower as, and shall be considered to be,
additional interest, and for such purposes only, the agreed upon and contracted Interest Rate as calculated herein shall be considered increased to reflect the payment of such Additional Sums as interest, which increased Interest Rate Borrower
hereby agrees to pay.

hereto and thereto, and Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein.

The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Lender provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power,
privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.

  

 13 

 3.9 Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver
of any provision of this Note, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Borrower or any other party therefrom may, in any event, be effective unless in writing signed by Lender and Borrower, and then only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose given. 
 3.10 Nature of Lender’s Obligations. Nothing contained in this Note and no action
taken by Lender pursuant hereto may, or may be deemed to, make Lender a partner of a partnership, an associate of an association, or a joint venturer of a joint venture, or other entity, either with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower and, at all
times, the relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be that of a lender and a borrower, respectively.

 (a) JURY WAIVER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN CONSIDERATION OF LENDER’S AGREEMENT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY LENDER OR BORROWER IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN AND/OR THIS NOTE, ANY

connection with any such sale, assignment or participation, Borrower further agrees that the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligation of Borrower to each purchaser, assignee or participant and, upon written request by Lender,
Borrower shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment or participation, all at Lender’s sole cost and expense. The indemnity obligations of

prescribe, but at its expense (except as specified below), it shall provide for the registration and transfer of this Note. No sale, transfer, hypothecation, participation or assignment of this Note or the interest therein shall be effective for any
purpose until it shall be registered on the books of the Registrar to be maintained for such purpose. In the event of a sale, transfer, hypothecation, participation or assignment of this Note or any interest herein, each Holder, prior to such sale,
