No more than four (4) Subsequent Disbursements, excluding the First Disbursement, shall be permitted in any calendar year.

(12) Lender, at its option, and in its sole discretion, may reject the request for any Subsequent Disbursement should it be determined by Lender, at its sole discretion, that the Borrower, through its combination of water sources, does not possess or reasonably anticipate obtaining adequate supplies of irrigation water to sufficiently irrigate and maintain the agricultural operations to be conducted on the Collateral.

6.1 Financial Statements and Reports. From and after the date hereof and so long as Lender (or a nominee designated by Lender) shall hold the Notes, Borrower shall deliver to Lender:

(a) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, the annual certified financial statements and related consolidated statements of earnings, equity and cash flows of Borrower and Subsidiaries conducting business in the agricultural industry, and the Guarantor as of the end of and for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the corresponding figures of the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail, prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of previous years (except as otherwise stated therein or in the notes thereto) certified by Borrower, stating that such financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of Borrower and related entities and the Guarantor in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except for changes with which such accountants concur); with all such financial statements and related reports audited by an independent third party certified public accountant;

(b) immediately upon a responsible manager, partner or officer of any Borrower becoming aware of the existence of a condition, event or act which constitutes an Event of Default or an event of default under any other evidence of Indebtedness of any Borrower including, without limitation, an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such an Event of Default or event of default, a written notice specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action such Borrower, as the case may be, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; and

(c) such other information as to the business and properties of Borrower, including consolidating financial statements of Borrower, Property Owners and the Guarantor, and financial statements and other reports filed with any governmental department, bureau, commission or agency, as Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

6.2 Inspection. From and after the date hereof and so long as Lender (or a nominee designated by Lender) shall hold the Notes, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower, Lender shall have the right (i) to visit and inspect, at Lender’s expense, any of the properties, all at such reasonable times and as often as Lender may reasonably request, of Property Owners or

Borrower (including any property not owned by Borrower but upon which any security for the Loan may be located), to examine its books of account and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Obligors with its and their members, officers and managers and independent public accountants, and (ii) to contact such third parties doing business with Borrower, and to engage in other auditing procedures as Lender deem reasonable to ensure the validity of Lender’s security interests or the accuracy of Obligors’ representations, warranties and certifications. In connection with such inspections, Lender and Lender’s engineers, contractors and other representatives shall have the right to perform such environmental audits and other environmental examinations of the Real Property as Lender deems necessary or advisable from time to time after reasonable prior notice to Borrower.

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

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

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

7.2 Maintenance of Borrower Office. Borrower will maintain an office at 1521 Westbranch Drive, First Floor, McLean, Virginia 22102 (or such other place in the United States of America as Borrower may designate in writing to the holder of the Notes).

7.3 To Keep Books. Obligors will keep proper books of record and account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

7.4 Payment of Taxes; Corporate Existence; Maintenance of Properties. Obligors shall:

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

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

(c) maintain and keep all its properties used or useful in the conduct of its business in good condition, repair and working order, reasonable and ordinary wear and tear excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and make all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be conducted at all times in a reasonable and lawful manner.

7.5 To Insure. Obligors shall (in addition to the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the Security Instruments):

(a) keep all of its insurable properties owned by it insured against all risks usually insured against by persons operating like properties in the same geographical areas where the properties are located, all in amounts sufficient to prevent Obligor from becoming a coinsurer within the terms of the policies in question, but in any event as to any improvements located thereon in amounts not less than eighty percent (80%) of the then full replacement value thereof;

(b) maintain public liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others upon or in or about any premises occupied by it or occurring as a result of its maintenance or operation of any airplanes, automobiles, trucks or other vehicles or other facilities (including, but not limited to, any machinery used therein or thereon) or as the result of the use of products sold by it or services rendered by it;

(c) maintain such other types of insurance with respect to its business as is usually carried by persons of comparable size engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated; and

(d) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any State or jurisdiction in which it may be engaged in business.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(a) unless and to the extent otherwise released by the Lender in writing, the Collateral pledged by the Property Owners will secure the entire amount of the Loan under the Notes and the other Loan Documents;

(b) an Event of Default by any or all of the Property Owners under the Security Instruments or any of the Collateral Documents or other loan documents evidencing or securing any portion of the Loan will also constitute an Event of Default under the entire Loan and all other Notes and other Loan Documents executed or delivered to evidence or secure the Loan or any portion thereof;

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

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

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

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

(a) to refinance certain term financing referenced as Loan nos. 195530 and 194552; and

(b) to provide working capital and acquisition financing relating to the purchase of additional Real Property by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

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

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

8.5 None of the Borrower, the Property Owners, or the Guarantor is insolvent as of the date of this Agreement. Neither the Borrower, the Property Owners nor the Guarantor will become insolvent as a result of the obligations incurred and transfers made in connection with the Loan. Neither the Borrower, the Property Owners nor Guarantor is, or is about to be, engaged in a business or transaction for which such Borrower, Property Owner or Guarantor will have an unreasonably small amount of capital after the closing of the Loan. Neither the Borrower, any

Property Owner nor the Guarantor has incurred, or contemplates incurring, debts beyond such Borrower’s, Property Owner’s or Guarantor’s ability to pay as such debts become due. This Section 8.5 is subject to the Contribution and Indemnity Agreement among the Obligors dated as of even date herewith.

8.6 The transfers made and obligations incurred by Obligors in connection with the Loan are not made with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any person to which any Obligor was, is, or hereinafter will become, indebted.

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

9.1 Maximum Leverage. As of the end of each calendar quarter, the Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Asset Value must be equal to or less than sixty-five percent (65%).

9.2 Consolidated Net Worth. Borrower and Guarantor shall maintain a Consolidated Net Worth at all times in excess of $50,000,000, measured at the end of each calendar quarter.

9.3 Total Debt. Consolidated Total Debt divided by the product of two (2) times Consolidated Net Worth must be equal to or less than 0.65, measured as of the end of each calendar quarter.

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

(a) Obligors will not, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payments or incur any liability to make any Restricted Payments, or make advances or loans to any member, unless immediately after giving effect to such action, there shall not exist any Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default; provided, that this shall not apply to or otherwise restrict Obligors’ ability to make any Restricted Payments that are legally required to maintain Guarantor’s status as a REIT. All dividends, distributions, purchases, redemptions, retirements, acquisitions and payments made pursuant to this Section 9.5 in property other than cash shall be included for purposes of calculations pursuant to this Section 9.5 at the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the general partner or manager of the applicable Obligor) at the time of declaration of such dividend or at the time of making such distribution, purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition or payment.

(b) Borrower’s and each Property Owner’s outstanding membership, partnership or other equity interests shall remain free and clear of any and all Liens at all times.

9.6 Merger or Consolidation. No Obligor will consolidate with or merge into any Person, or permit any Person to merge into it, nor will any Obligor transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets except as permitted hereby.

9.7 Transactions with Affiliates. Obligors will not engage in any transaction with an Affiliate on terms more favorable to the Affiliate than would have been obtainable in arm’s length dealing in the ordinary course of business with a Person not an Affiliate; provided that none of the following shall be deemed to be a transaction with an Affiliate: (i) any investment advisory agreement between the Guarantor and Gladstone Management Corporation; (ii) any administration agreement between the Guarantor and Gladstone Administration, LLC; and (iii) any agreement for the provisions of mortgage services between the Guarantor and Gladstone Securities, LLC.

9.8 Subordinate Debt. Borrower hereby agrees that all Subordinate Debt or any inter-Obligor loans involving any one or more Obligor shall be subordinate in all respects to the Loan and no payment of any amounts owing in connection therewith at a time when an Event of Default exists may be made until the earlier of Lender’s waiver of such Event of Default or the repayment in full of all amounts owing to Lender in connection with the Loan. To the extent any amounts are received in any manner whatsoever in connection with such inter-Obligor loans by an obligee thereof during the period described in the immediately preceding sentence, such amounts shall be held in trust for and paid over to Lender until Lender are in receipt of all amounts owing to Lender in connection with the Loan. Upon the request of Lender, Obligors shall enter into a debt subordination agreement agreeable to Lender with respect to any Subordinated Debt.

9.9 Maintain Organizational Existence. Obligors shall at all times maintain their respective existence as a limited partnership, corporation or limited liability company as applicable, in the state of its formation and any other jurisdiction where it transacts business (or cure any failure to maintain such existence within a reasonable time after learning of such failure, not to exceed 30 days). Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender, no Obligor will change its name or jurisdiction of organization.

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

(a) Transfers of up to 50% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in the Borrower shall be permitted so long as the balance of the partnership interests are owned, directly or indirectly by the Guarantor which continues to control the Borrower as the sole member of Gladstone Land Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Gladstone Partners”), and so long as (a) such transfers shall comply with the governing documents of Borrower, all applicable state and federal laws and not result in the breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in the Loan Documents; (b) Gladstone Partners remains the general partner of the Borrower; (c) Lender shall be provided with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such transfer if affecting more than 25% of the total partnership interests in the Borrower, together with copies of the related documents sufficient to demonstrate compliance with Sections 4.20 and 4.21 above; (d) following the completion of such transfer, and at all times during the term of the Loan, (i) each Property Owner shall remain wholly owned and controlled by Borrower, and (ii) the Adviser, or a sub-adviser thereof, shall continue to manage, control and act as the investment adviser to the Guarantor, and indirectly to Gladstone Partners, Borrower and the Property Owners, and (iii) one or more Key Principals shall remain an executive officer or director of the Guarantor, and (iv) there shall have been no material change in the investment strategy of the Guarantor. Borrower shall provide Beneficiary with all documentation or other assurances reasonably requested by Beneficiary to demonstrate compliance with the foregoing;

(b) Transfers or issuances of publicly-traded stock in the Guarantor, provided that if more than 25% of the outstanding stock is acquired by one or more Persons, acting as a group, following the date of this Agreement, written notice of such transfer(s) shall be provided to Lender accompanied by information sufficient for Lender to confirm the continued accuracy of the representations set forth in Sections 4.20 and 4.21 above, and further provided that Borrower shall provide to Lender at its request from time to time during the term of the Loan a complete list of all current shareholders in the Guarantor; and

(c) Lender will consent to transfers of Collateral between one or more Property Owners to one or more other Property Owners so long as: (i) no Event of Default has occurred or then exists; (ii) Lender is provided with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such transfer accompanied by copies of the documentation used to effect such a transfer and information sufficient for the Lender to confirm the current accuracy of the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents including those in Section 4 hereof; (iii) Lender shall be provided, at Borrower’s cost, with an endorsement to its title insurance policy insuring the continued first priority lien of its Security Instrument upon and following such transfer; (iv) Obligors shall execute and provide such additional documents as Lender may require to confirm the current status of the Loan and the authority of the parties to the transaction, their respective obligations arising under the Loan and the Lender’s first priority liens under the Security

Instruments; and (v) Borrower reimburses Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such consent including without limitation title and recording charges and reasonable expenses of outside legal counsel as well as Lender’s customary servicing fee.

9.11 Change in Control. The Adviser or a sub-adviser thereof shall continue to be the investment adviser to the Guarantor and, indirectly, to Gladstone Partners, the Borrower and the Property Owners at all times during the term of the Loan.

9.12 Unsecured Debt. Guarantor and Borrower shall not permit or cause any Property Owner to incur any additional Indebtedness or incur any liability to unsecured creditors.

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

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

(b) The restructured entities shall be owned by the same beneficial owners as in effect with respect to the Property Owners as of the date of this Agreement, subject to any permitted transfers set forth in Section 9.10;

(c) No Event of Default shall exist, nor shall any circumstance exist which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default;

(d) Lender shall be provided, at Borrower’s cost, with an endorsement or endorsements to its ALTA loan policy of title insurance insuring Lender as to the continued first lien priority of all affected Security Instruments upon the completion of the California Entity Restructuring and as to the vested title of the affected Real Property;

(e) Borrower, Guarantors, applicable Property Owners and any newly organized entities as part of the California Entity Restructuring shall execute for the benefit of Lender such amendment and assumption documents, collateral documents and certifications as Lender may require to confirm the continuing effect, enforceability and validity of its Loan Documents upon and following such California Entity Restructuring, which shall in no event release or prejudice any rights or remedies of Lender thereunder;

(f) Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s outside counsel fees and other costs, including title and escrow costs in processing and documenting the California Entity Restructuring and the adjustment of the Loan Documents (including any necessary amendments to the Loan Documents and title endorsement premiums), but Lender shall not charge a separate servicing fee in connection with the California Entity Restructuring; and

(g) Borrower shall provide to Lender an opinion of legal counsel in substantially the form accepted by Lender with respect to the existing Property Owners on the Closing Date.

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

(a) Request. Borrowers shall submit a formal written request for the Partial Release (the “Request”) not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the date upon which Borrower desires to close the transfer of the parcel subject to the Partial Release (the “Release Parcel”). No more than two (2) Requests shall be made per calendar year. The Request shall be sufficiently detailed and include all necessary documentation so as to allow Lender adequate time to process the Partial Release, including without limitation an updated title report covering the Real Property and, at Lender’s request, a boundary survey of the applicable portion of the Real Property prepared by a licensed surveyor, and if such information is not included in the request, the processing of the Request will be delayed accordingly.

(b) No Default. No Event of Default shall exist under any of the Loan Documents, either at the time of the Request or at the closing of the Partial Release (unless the Partial Release will cure any then existing Event of Default), and the Partial Release will not cause an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents. No material adverse change has occurred with respect to the financial condition of any of the Borrowers or the Guarantors. In no event shall any Partial Release result in one or more of the Borrowers transferring all of the Collateral it has pledged in support of the Loan without revising the debt allocation executed among the Obligors, and all Obligors must consent to the transfer.

(c) Title Endorsement. If less than an entire property pledged by a Property Owner is the subject of the Request, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s sole expense, a title

insurance endorsement which insures the continued first priority lien of the Security Instrument(s) on the Real Property remaining after the Partial Release (the “Remaining Property”), and which insures that the Remaining Property is comprised of separate legal lot or lots, has legally enforceable access rights and is comprised of contiguous parcels.

(d) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s outside counsel fees and other costs, including title, escrow or appraisal costs, if any, in processing and documenting the Partial Release (including any necessary amendments to the Loan Documents and title endorsement premiums), and Lender’s customary service fee not to exceed Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00).

(e) Written Consent. The written consent to the Partial Release of all guarantors of the Loan and, if required by Lender, the holders of any permitted junior liens, encumbrances or lessees shall be obtained prior to the Partial Release.

(f) Legal Compliance. Borrower shall create any easements, covenants or restrictions required by Lender in order to ensure the continued compliance of the Remaining Property with legal or lease requirements.

(g) Independence of Remaining Property. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide updated boundary surveys showing any new easements created for the benefit of the Remaining Property (with the parcel to be released and the Remaining Property consisting of separate and independent tax parcels approved by the responsible taxing authority), and such other information or reports as Lender may require to document that there has been no other impairment to the use and operation of the Remaining Property,

(h) Functionality. The Remaining Property must have legal, insurable access for ingress, egress, water conveyance and functionality and meet all applicable legal requirements following the Partial Release. The release of the Release Parcel shall not otherwise impair the use, functionality or value of the Remaining Property (i.e. it shall not include improvements, wells, pumps, motors, irrigation equipment, water rights or other items necessary for the continued operation of the Remaining Property nor render the farming or other use of the Remaining Property inefficient or more costly). The Partial Release shall not otherwise adversely impact the farming or orchard operations or water supply, as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion, or cause the overall loan to value ratio to fall below 58% (absent a principal paydown pursuant to Section 10.1(j) below), as determined by Lender using the Appraised Value.

(i) Proceeds of Release. Lender may require, as a condition to any Partial Release, a payment reflecting the reduction in collateral value of the remaining Collateral for application to the Loan or the pledge of additional Collateral, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion in order to maintain the requisite loan-to-value ratio of the Loan to the remaining

Collateral. At Lender’s request updated appraisals of the remaining Collateral shall be obtained at Borrowers’ cost to support the related analysis. Any applicable prepayment premium under the terms of the Notes shall also be paid to Lender. Borrower shall also have the right to require updated appraisals of the remaining Collateral to support the necessary valuation, at Borrower’s cost.

(j) Application of Prepayment Proceeds. The Partial Release payment referred to in Section 10.1(i) above shall be applied first to the applicable prepayment premium calculated in accordance with the Notes, if any, with respect to the principal reduction of the Loan and then to the principal balance of the Loan. No Partial Release or prepayment shall affect the regularly scheduled installments of principal and interest then due under the Notes. Lender shall not be obligated to make any additional disbursements under this Loan Agreement while any Request for Partial Release is pending.

10.2 Release/Removal of Plantings. Borrower has advised Lender that from time to time tenants on the Property request permission to plant patented varieties or to remove existing permanent plantings, whether bushes, trees, vines or other plantings for purposes of replacing them with patented varieties. Lender will consent to such removal and replacement under the following conditions:

(a) Borrower provides Lender with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the proposed removal and replacement;

(c) The value of the removed plantings (if the related valuation of such plantings was previously included in the Appraised Value) is paid to Lender as a prepayment of principal under the Loan (the “Patent Payment”), which shall first be applied to any applicable prepayment premium required by the Notes and then to principal. Borrower may escrow the Patent Payment in an escrow account approved by Lender so that it may be applied on the next applicable Interest Payment Date so that Borrower may avoid or minimize any applicable Prepayment Premium. The value of the replacement or initially planted patented plants shall not be included in the Appraised Value of the Property; and

(d) Borrower shall require its tenant, as a condition to the planting or the removal and replacement, either to remove or to afford the applicable Property Owner (and any successor) the ability to remove, without cost or liability, the patented plantings and terminate any applicable royalty or payment therefor upon termination of the related lease.

11.1 Events of Default; Acceleration. The occurrence of one or more of the following events (herein an “Event of Default”) shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement (and whether such occurrence shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a) default in the payment of any interest upon any of the Notes when such interest becomes due and payable; or

(b) default in the payment of principal of (or prepayment premium, if any, on) any of the Notes or in the payment of any other amount evidenced by any of the Notes or payable under this Agreement when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for payment or prepayment, or by acceleration or otherwise; or

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

(d) any Event of Default under any of the Security Instruments or any Default or Event of Default under any Collateral Document or under any of the Indemnity Agreements, any default under any guaranty or under any other Loan Document (following the expiration of any applicable cure period) shall occur; or

(e) Borrower shall not pay when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, any evidence of indebtedness of Borrower (other than the Notes), or any condition or default shall exist under any such evidence of indebtedness or under any agreement under which the same may have been issued permitting such evidence of indebtedness to become or be declared due prior to the stated maturity thereof, and the expiration of any applicable cure period; or

(f) any Obligor shall file a petition seeking relief for itself under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or an answer consenting to,

admitting the material allegations of or otherwise not controverting, or shall fail to timely controvert, a petition filed against any Obligor seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended; or any Obligor shall file such a petition or answer with respect to relief under the provisions of any other now existing or future bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law of the United States of America or any State thereof or of any other country or jurisdiction providing for the reorganization, winding-up or liquidation of corporations or an arrangement, composition, extension or adjustment with creditors; or

(g) a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order for relief which is not stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof against any Obligor under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended; or there shall be entered an order, judgment or decree by operation of law or by a court having jurisdiction in the premises which is not stayed within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof adjudging any Obligor as bankrupt or insolvent, or ordering relief against any Obligor, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking relief against any Obligor, under the provisions of any other now existing or future bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law of the United States of America or any State thereof or of any other country or jurisdiction providing for the reorganization, winding-up or liquidation of corporations or an arrangement, composition, extension or adjustment with creditors, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, sequestrator, trustee, custodian or similar official of any Obligor or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the reorganization, winding-up or liquidation of its affairs; or any involuntary petition against any Obligor seeking any of the relief specified in this clause shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing; or

(h) any Obligor shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or any Obligor shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, sequestrator, trustee, custodian or similar official of such Obligor or of all or any substantial part of its property; or any Obligor shall have admitted in writing to its insolvency or inability to pay, or shall have failed to pay, its debts generally as such debts become due; or any Obligor or its trustees, directors or members shall take any action to dissolve or liquidate such Obligor; or

(i) any Obligor shall (1) engage in any non-exempted “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Sections 406 and 408 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (2) incur any “accumulated funding deficiency,” as defined in Section 302 of ERISA, in an amount in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), whether or not waived, or (3) terminate or permit the termination of an “employee pension benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3 of ERISA, in a manner which could result in the imposition of a Lien on any property of such Obligor pursuant to Section 4068 of ERISA securing an amount in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00); or

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

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

(l) the dissolution or death of any Obligor, whether by operation of law or otherwise other than inadvertent administrative dissolution which is not cured within 30 days after Obligor has knowledge of such fact and which has no Material Adverse Effect; or

(m) the default beyond any applicable cure or grace period by any Obligor under any Indebtedness owed to any Person other than Lender, other than a default (i) with respect to Indebtedness that is not secured by any of the Collateral, and (ii) that does not result in a breach of any of the obligations set forth in this Agreement including without limitation the covenants set forth in Sections 9.1 - 9.5 above.

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

BORROWER EXPRESSLY (A) WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2954.10 TO PREPAY THE NOTES, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT FEE OR PENALTY, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE NOTES, AND (B) AGREES THAT IF, FOR ANY REASON, A PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES IS MADE, UPON OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE OF THE NOTES BY THE HOLDER THEREOF ON ACCOUNT OF ANY DEFAULT BY BORROWER UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY TRANSFER, FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE OR DISPOSITION WHICH IS PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY THE

SECURITY INSTRUMENTS, THEN BORROWER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY CONCURRENTLY THE PREPAYMENT FEE SPECIFIED IN THE NOTES (IF APPLICABLE). BY INITIALING THIS PROVISION IN THE SPACE PROVIDED BELOW, BORROWER AGREES THAT LENDER’S AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN AT INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERM SET FORTH IN THE NOTES AND THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.

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

(a) Declare the Notes to be, and the Notes shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding; or

(b) Enter upon and take possession of the Real Property and all material, equipment and supplies thereon and water rights available thereto and to fulfill the obligations of Borrower hereunder and to sell, manage, repair, and protect the Real Property. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, (i) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens or security interests against the Real Property or any fixtures or equipment thereon, or as may be necessary or desirable for the clearance of title or otherwise, and (ii) to use any funds of any Borrower, including any Loan balance which might not have been disbursed.

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

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

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

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

of the insurance, to otherwise pay all costs and expenses relating thereto and to this Loan (including the payment of interest and other carrying costs) or if such proceeds are not sufficient as above provided, provided that Borrower deposit with Lender, the amount of such deficiency, as determined by Lender within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor and further provided that the Borrower shall not claim that, notwithstanding such payment to Lender, it had no liability to pay any or some portion of such proceeds to Lender, then the balance of the proceeds, plus any amounts deposited by Borrower, will be held and disbursed by Lender, from time to time, for the purpose of the repair, restoration, building or rebuilding of the Real Property in accordance with Lender’s customary disbursement procedures as may be then in effect.

12.2 Assignment by Lender. Lender may assign, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate all or any portion of this Agreement or grant participations herein, or in any of its rights and security hereunder, including, without limitation, the Notes and the Loan Documents and, in the case of such assignment, Borrower will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all rights and remedies of Lender in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrower by such assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such assignment provided that in connection with any such assignment Lender shall give Borrower at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of such assignment and such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof.

Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign any of its rights under this Agreement, either voluntarily or by operation of law.

12.4 No Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant, or agreement herein contained shall be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing. No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law. No notice or demand on any Obligor in any case shall, in itself, entitle Obligor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

12.5 No Joint Venture. Nothing herein, in the Notes, the Loan Documents, or in any other Loan Document contained, and no action or inaction whatsoever on the part of Lender, shall be deemed to make Lender a partner or joint venturer with Borrower and Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all claims, loss, cost,

expense (including attorneys’ fees) and damages arising from the relationship between Lender and Borrower being construed or alleged to be as anything other than that of secured lender and borrower; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender against Lender’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

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

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

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

12.9 No Documents to be Recorded. Obligors covenant that they will not cause or permit any document or instrument to be placed of record with respect to the Land or the Real Property without Lender’s prior written consent.

12.10 Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Notes. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any of the Notes, and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Notes, the Borrower will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Notes, a new Note(s) of like tenor and unpaid principal amount and dated the date of, or, if later, the date to which interest has been paid on, the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Notes.

12.11 Expenses. In addition to the loan fee previously paid to Lender Borrower shall pay all costs of closing the Loan and all of Lender’s expenses with respect thereto, including but not limited to, reasonable outside legal fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender (including reasonable outside legal fees incurred by Lender subsequent to the closing of the Loan in connection with the administration, collection or transfer of the Loan); all recording fees and

charges; title insurance premiums and costs, escrow and funding charges; surveys; intangible taxes; environmental assessments; expenses of foreclosure (including trustee’s and attorney’s fees); and similar items. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 12.11 shall survive the payment or prepayment of the Notes.

12.12 Stamp Taxes, Recording Fees, etc. Borrower shall pay, and save Lender and any subsequent holder of the Notes harmless against, any and all liability (including any interest or penalty for non-payment or delay in payment) with respect to stamp and other taxes (other than any such stamp or other taxes incurred upon a transfer of the Notes or loan participations by Lender), if any, and all recording and filing fees which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance and delivery of the Notes, the execution, delivery, filing and recording of the Loan Documents and financing statements related thereto, or any modification, amendment or alteration thereof. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 12.12 shall survive the payment or prepayment of the Notes.

12.13 Successors and Assigns. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Loan Documents and in the Notes or in certificates delivered in connection herewith by or on behalf of Borrower shall survive the issuance and delivery of the Notes to Lender, the making of the Loan by Lender, and shall bind the successors and assigns of Borrower, whether so expressed or not, and all such covenants, agreements, representations and warranties shall inure to the benefit of Lender’s successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any of the Notes.

12.14 Notices. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective when either delivered in person or, if mailed, shall be deemed effective on the third (3rd) day after deposited as registered or certified mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed to the parties at the following addresses:

Any party may change its address for notices by written notice to the other. Notices may be given by facsimile transmission if a hard copy is also delivered the next business day thereafter, with such notice to be effective when received during business hours or the next business day following facsimile receipt if received outside of business hours.

12.15 Law Governing; Modification. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by laws of the State of California. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, changed or modified, or the discharge thereof acknowledged, orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

12.16 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute part of this Agreement.

12.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

12.18 FINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE THE FINAL EXPRESSION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF ANY PRIOR OR CONTEMPORANEOUS ORAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AFFIRM THAT THERE IS NO UNWRITTEN ORAL CREDIT AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS WRITTEN CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ANY RELATED LOAN DOCUMENTS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Guarantor have executed this Loan Agreement, or have caused this Loan Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized representative(s) as of the day and year first written above.
