ITEM 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Contribution Agreement

On November 7, 2025, MDRR XXV Depositor 1, LLC (the “Depositor”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medalist Diversified REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with MDRR XXV DST 1, a Delaware statutory trust (the “DST”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Depositor agreed to contribute its ownership interest (the “Contribution”) in a Tesla sales, service and delivery facility consisting of a 45,461 square foot, single story building on 3.498 acres of land located at 312 E. 9 Mile Road, Pensacola, Florida (the “Tesla Property”) to the DST in exchange for total consideration of $14,554,504, as described in more detail below, which was based on the price paid by the Company to acquire the Property on July 18, 2025.  The Contribution Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations customary for transactions of this nature.  On November 7, 2025, the Depositor completed the Contribution.  Upon closing of the Contribution, the Company received cash of $6,932,061 and beneficial interests in the DST having an approximate aggregate net value of $7,622,443.

The DST was formed by MDR XXV Sponsor, TRS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to hold title to the Tesla Property and expects to offer beneficial interests in the DST to accredited investors in a private placement under Regulation D. The DST intends to offer beneficial interests to third-party investors in a private placement, the proceeds of which will be used to redeem the Depositor’s beneficial interests for cash. Upon completion of such offering, the Company expects to no longer retain an ownership interest in the DST but will continue to control the Tesla Property’s operations as the Trust Manager of the DST under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated November 7, 2025 (the “Trust Agreement”).The Company expects to continue consolidating the DST in its financial statements under applicable accounting guidance until it has sold greater than 50% of the beneficial interests in the DST, at which time the Company will account for its ownership of any remaining beneficial interests in the DST under the equity method of accounting.

Under the terms of the Contribution Agreement and related trust documents:

The Company will serve as trust manager for the DST under the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement.
The Company’s receipt of beneficial interests in the DST is subject to transfer restrictions customary for private placements.

The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Contribution Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

Guaranty

On November 7, 2025, in connection with the completion of the Contribution, the DST entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Pinnacle Bank (the “Lender”), for a loan in the amount of $7,710,000.00 (the “Loan”).  

In connection with the Loan Agreement, Medalist Diversified Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), has agreed to provide a limited guaranty (the “Guaranty”) with respect to certain potential costs, expenses, losses, damages and other sums for which the DST is directly liable under the Loan Agreement, including losses or damages that may result from certain intentional actions committed by the DST in violation of the Loan Agreement. The Operating Partnership is also providing a guaranty of the principal balance and any interest or other sums outstanding under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in the event of certain bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving the DST.

The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement and the Guaranty is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement and the Guaranty, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

(a)Provided no Event of Default exists, the Loan may be prepaid, in whole, but not in part, upon: (i) not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender specifying the Business Day on which prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be irrevocable once given (the “Prepayment Notice”); (ii) payment of the Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Amount of the Loan to and including the day immediately prior to the Prepayment Date; and (iii) payment of all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Loan unless it is accompanied by all sums due in connection therewith.
(b)Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender would not make the Loan without full and complete assurance by Borrower of its agreement to pay the monthly payments as hereinabove provided, and Borrower’s further agreement not to prepay all or any part of the Principal Amount prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, except on the terms expressly set forth in this Agreement.  In consideration of the foregoing, if, as a result of an Event of Default hereunder or under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall declare the Loan due and payable, in whole or in part, in accordance with Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date of such acceleration, all other amounts due Lender.  
(c)Upon any payment or prepayment of the Loan on any day that is not the last day of the Accrual Period applicable thereto (regardless of whether such payment or prepayment is being made as a result of acceleration of the Loan, voluntary prepayment of all or a portion of the Loan in connection with a refinancing, or otherwise), Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the amount of all losses, expenses and liabilities that Lender may sustain as a result of (i) such payment; and (ii) early termination, adjustment, or settlement of, the Swap Transactions.  For purposes of calculating amounts payable to Lender under this paragraph, Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded any relevant loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at an amount equal to the amount of that loan and having a maturity and repricing characteristics comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, that Lender may fund any Loan in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. In amplification of the foregoing, any prepayment of the Loan prior to the Maturity Date may require termination of all or a portion of the related Swap Transaction. The termination of such Swap Transaction may result in a payment due from or to Borrower and will be subject to the applicable termination fees as provided for under the Swap Agreement.
(d)The following definitions shall apply to this Section 2.6 and as elsewhere used in the Loan Documents.

Page 26


(i)“Swap Agreement” means any agreement, document, or instrument, including, without limitation, any Master Agreement or related confirmation, entered into by any party(ies) in connection with a Swap Transaction.

(iii)“Swap Obligation” means any obligation, liability, or Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender arising in connection with a Swap Transaction, including, without limitation, any fee, charge, or netting of liabilities in connection with the early termination, adjustment, or settlement of any Swap Transaction.
(iv)“Swap Transaction” means any of the following entered into between Lender and Borrower or between any counterparty and Lender for, or on behalf of, Borrower: (i) interest rate swap transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, forward commodity contract, commodity option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond or bond price or bond index swap or option, forward bond index transaction, interest rate option or swaption, foreign exchange transaction, interest rate cap transaction, interest rate floor transaction, interest rate collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate swap transaction, currency option, spot contract, any similar transaction, or any other arrangement designed to alter the risks arising from fluctuation in currency values or interest rates, or any combination of any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any option to enter into any of the foregoing), whether or not any such transaction is governed by or subject to any Master Agreement; and (ii)  any transaction of any kind, or any related confirmation, which is subject to, or governed by, any Master Agreement.

Section 2.8Interest Rate.  

Page 27


(a)Interest Computation.  All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination.  The Benchmark shall be determined by the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b)Term SOFR Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.
(c)Benchmark Replacement.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to replace the then-current Benchmark with the Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Lender notifies the Borrower of such Benchmark Replacement; provided, however, that no replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(ii)No swap agreement shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.8.

The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.8(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.8.

In addition, if required by Lender during the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period, Borrower shall also deposit with the Depository a sum of money which, together with the aforesaid monthly installments, will be sufficient to make each of said payments of Impositions and Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days before such payments are due. All such funds shall be held in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. Any interest earned on the funds held by the Depository, less Depository’s customary administrative charges, shall be credited to, and remain in an account with the Depository, but the amount thereof shall be credited against future deposit obligations under this Section 5.1. Lender shall bear no liability for the failure to achieve any particular rate of return or yield on funds held by the Depository. If the amount of any such payments is not ascertainable at the time any such deposit is required to be made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of Lender’s reasonable estimate thereof, and, when such amount is fixed for the then-current year, Borrower shall promptly deposit any deficiency with the Depository. Lender acknowledges and agrees that Borrower is not currently required to make the deposits pursuant to this Section 5.1, provided, however, that (i) in connection with deposits for Impositions, Lender retains the right to require Borrower to make the deposits specified herein in the future during the continuance of a Trigger Period, and (ii) in connection with deposits for Insurance Premiums, Lender shall not require Borrower to make such deposits provided that (A) no Trigger Period shall exist and remain uncured, (B) Borrower is maintaining the required insurance hereunder pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy approved by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, and (C) Borrower has provided Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment in advance of the annual Insurance Premiums.

(c)Conditional Suspension of Deposits.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.1 to the contrary, and without limiting Borrower’s obligations to pay (or cause to be paid) all Impositions and Insurance Premiums as set forth herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to make the monthly deposits of Impositions or Insurance Premiums into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account so long as all of the following conditions remain satisfied:  
(i)in connection with deposits for Impositions: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the Sole Tenant is responsible, pursuant to the terms of the Sole Tenant Lease, for the direct payment of such Impositions to the applicable taxing authority and is, in fact, timely making all such required payments pursuant thereto, and no default has occurred under the Sole Tenant Lease with respect thereto; and (iii) Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that all Impositions have been timely paid no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date such Impositions are delinquent.

Upon the failure of any of the foregoing conditions, the requirement for Borrower to make the required monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account will be reinstated, as applicable, and Borrower will be required to make such monthly deposits commencing on the next Monthly Payment Date to occur.  Nothing contained herein shall diminish Lender’s rights (all of which are expressly reserved) arising under Section 5.1.1(f) hereof

The insurance required under subsections (i) through (v), inclusive, of Section 6.1(a) shall name Lender, its successors and/or assigns, as mortgagee/loss payee under a Standard Mortgage Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement or an equivalent standard form attached to, or otherwise made a part of such policy in favor of Lender.  The insurance maintained under subsections (vi) through (x), inclusive, of Section 6.1(a) shall name Lender, its successors and/or assigns, as an additional insured.  It is agreed that, and each property policy shall expressly state that, losses shall be payable jointly to Lender and Borrower notwithstanding (1) any act or negligence of Borrower or its agents or employees which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or part of such insurance payment, (2) the occupation or use of the Property or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Agreement, or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Property or any part thereof.  No Policy shall be canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender, which may be reduced to ten (10) days’ written notice for non-payment of premium.  The issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew prior to its expiration.  Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

In addition, upon expiration of the Policies which Borrower is now or hereafter required to maintain hereunder, Borrower shall deliver to Lender complete copies of new or renewal Policies (also marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the Insurance Premiums due thereunder annually in advance), together with certificates of insurance therefor, setting forth, among other things, the amounts of insurance maintained, the risks covered by such insurance and the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance; provided, however, that in the case of renewal policies, Borrower shall furnish Lender with binders and Acord Form 28 and 25 Certificates therefor to be followed by the original policies when issued. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted to finance the payment of any portion of the Insurance Premiums.
(f)Failure to Deliver Policies.  If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and payable by Borrower to Lender immediately upon Lender’s demand.
(g)Transfer of Title.  In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other transfer of title or assignment of the Property, by reason of a default hereunder, in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance required under this Section 6.1 or otherwise then in force with respect to the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder and unearned premiums thereon shall immediately vest in the purchaser or other transferee of the Property.
Section 6.2Casualty and Condemnation.
(a)Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.

The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(e)All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender in consultation with Borrower (the “Casualty Consultant”).  Lender and Borrower shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender, Borrower and the Casualty Consultant.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.3, be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

Page 65


(g)Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than twice every calendar month.
(h)If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents under the Loan Documents.
(i)The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be (x) if a Trigger Period shall be continuing, at Lender’s option, deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or (y) provided no Trigger Period shall be continuing, promptly disbursed to Borrower.

Page 66


(j)All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration or returned to Borrower pursuant to subsection (i) above shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.  If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.
(k)In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Clearing Account shall be paid by Borrower.

Page 79


(g)Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Losses arising from or in any way connected with the Clearing Account and/or the Clearing Account Agreement or the performance of the obligations for which the Clearing Account was established, unless caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
Section 11.2Cash Management Account.
(a)Upon the first occurrence of a Trigger Period, Lender, on Borrower’s behalf, shall establish and maintain a segregated account (the “Cash Management Account”) of (i) receiving and holding all Rents and Profits from the Property and other related income and (ii) disbursing sums on deposit therein in accordance with this Agreement.

(i)If invested, sums on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be invested at the direction of Lender.
(j)Borrower hereby agrees that Lender may maintain sub-accounts within the Cash Management Account in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, which sub-accounts may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts.  All reasonable costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining such sub-accounts shall be paid by Borrower.
(k)Borrower hereby agrees that the Cash Management Account may be maintained as either a “securities account” (as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC or a “deposit account” (as such term is defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC)).  Borrower and Lender agree that the Cash Management Account shall be maintained in such a manner that Lender shall have control of the Cash Management Account that is a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(2) of the UCC) and control of the Cash Management Account that is a “deposit account” (within the meaning of Section 9-104(a) of the UCC).
(l)The Cash Management Account and all sub-accounts within the Cash Management Account shall be deemed to be located in the State of Tennessee for all purposes hereunder and under the UCC.  The jurisdiction of the Cash Management Bank shall be deemed to be the State of Tennessee for all purposes hereunder and the UCC.

Section 11.4Payments Received Under Cash Management.  The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, and such obligation shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain outstanding, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Accounts, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

Section 13.7Headings.  The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of any provisions of this Agreement
Section 13.8Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement should be held unenforceable or void, then that provision shall be separated from the remaining provisions and shall not affect the validity of this Agreement except that if the unenforceable or void provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then, Lender may, at its option, declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
Section 13.9Preferences.  Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.  To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 13.10Usury Savings Clause. It is the intention of Borrower and Lender to conform strictly to all applicable usury laws now or hereinafter in force. All agreements in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement or acceleration of maturity of the Obligations, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid hereunder or thereunder for the use, forbearance or detention of money, to the extent that any sums secured by the Security Instrument or by the other Loan Documents shall not be exempt from such laws, exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable usury laws as now or hereinafter construed by the court having jurisdiction over such matters. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of the Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the receipt of such excess shall, at the option of Lender, be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be rebated to Borrower or, held in trust by Lender for the benefit of Borrower and shall be credited against the principal amount of the Obligations to which the same may lawfully be credited, and any portion of such excess not capable of being so credited shall be rebated to Borrower. The aggregate of all interest (whether designated as interest, service charges, points or otherwise) contracted for, chargeable, or receivable under the Note, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document shall under no circumstances exceed the Maximum Legal Rate upon the unpaid principal balance of the Note remaining from time to time.

Page 87


In the event such interest does exceed the Maximum Legal Rate, it shall be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid, rebated to Borrower or credited on the principal amount of the Note, or if the Note has been repaid, then such excess shall be rebated to Borrower.

Section 13.11Right to Deal.  In the event that ownership of the Property becomes vested in a Person other than Borrower, Lender may, without notice to Borrower, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Agreement or the Obligations in the same manner as with Borrower, without in any way vitiating or discharging Borrower’s liability hereunder or for the payment of the Obligations or being deemed a consent to such vesting.  It being agreed that Lender’s dealing with any such successor or successors as aforesaid shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations or liabilities hereunder or under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Obligations), all of which shall remain the primary obligations and liabilities of Borrower as a principal hereunder and thereunder, and not as merely a guarantor or by way of stand-by liability.
Section 13.12Waiver of Notice.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 13.13Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 13.14Expenses; Cost of Enforcement.

To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and to extend credit to Borrower, Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender on and as of the date hereof as follows:

Section 3.1Benefit.  Guarantor is an affiliate of Borrower, is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 3.2Familiarity and Reliance.  Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of the Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.
Section 3.3No Representation by Lender.  Neither Lender nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.
Section 3.4Guarantor’s Financial Condition. As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor is and intends to remain solvent and has and intends to have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and has and intends to have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities, including the Guaranteed Obligations. The most recent financial statements of Guarantor, copies of which statements have been furnished to Lender, fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of such dates in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, and since the date of each of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in such condition or operations.

Page 11


Section 3.5Legality.  The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not and will not, in any material respect, contravene or conflict with any applicable law, statute or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Guarantor (except for such violations that would not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Guarantor, Borrower or the Property) or constitute a material default under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, Security Instrument, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor (except for such violations that would not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Guarantor, Borrower, Guarantor’s and Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and/or the Property).  This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other rights and to general equity principles. All authorizations, consents and approvals of governmental bodies or agencies required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, or in connection with the performance of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, if any, have been obtained as required hereunder or by law.
Section 3.6No Lawsuits. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened against or affecting the Guarantor or the properties of Guarantor before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if determined adversely to Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties or operations of Guarantor.
Section 3.7No 3rd Party Agreements. Guarantor is not a party to any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or other agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other restriction that would have a material adverse effect on the ability of Guarantor to carry out Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.
Section 3.8Survival.  All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof for so long as any amount remains owing to Lender under the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 4 SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Section 4.1Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the party or parties in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor.

Page 12


The Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. So long as any portion of the Indebtedness or the Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.2Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as a debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims.  Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender.  Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then, upon payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.3Payments Held in Trust.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that any Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.
Section 4.4Liens Subordinate.  Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.  Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against Borrower, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, Security Instrument, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.  The foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against Borrower or Guarantor transferring any of its assets to any Person other than Lender.

ARTICLE 5 MISCELLANEOUS
Section 5.1Waiver.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The rights of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor any consent to any departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved.  No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

Any party may change the address to which any such Notice is to be delivered by furnishing ten (10) days’ written notice of such change to the other parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.2.  Notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date set forth above, even if there is an inability to actually deliver any Notice because of a changed address of which no Notice was given or there is a rejection or refusal to accept any Notice offered for delivery.  Notice for any party may be given by its respective counsel.  Additionally, Notice from Lender may also be given by its servicer of the Loan.

Section 5.10Rights and Remedies.  If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender, by endorsement or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may ever have against Guarantor.  The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.
