THE LOANS
 
Section 2.1 Term Loans .
 
(a) Closing Date Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make a Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000 (the “Closing Date Term Loan”) and in the respective amounts set forth on Annex A.
 
(b) Incremental Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) following the Closing Date and on or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, certain Lenders have made additional Loans in the original principal amount of $10,300,000 and (ii) subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, from time to time after the Second Amendment Effective Date if all Incremental Term Loan Conditions have been satisfied, each Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees to make additional term loans available to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of up to $3,200,000 (collectively, the “Incremental Term Loan”). This Section 2.1(b) shall not be construed to create any obligation on the Lenders to extend or to commit to extend any Incremental Term Loan to Borrower, and any Incremental Term Loan will only be funded upon the approval of the Lenders (or new lenders) funding such Incremental Term Loan, which such approval may be given or withheld in such Lender’s (or new lender’s) sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of the aggregate Loans (inclusive of any and all accrued interest thereon assuming that all such interest has been capitalized into principal) may not at any time exceed $24,000,000.
 
Section 2.2 Evidence of Indebtedness . The Loans shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by each Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the reasonable written request of any Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, which shall evidence such Loans made by such Lender in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Note and payments with respect thereto.
 
 
 
18
 
 
 
Section 2.3 Repayment of Loans . Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, Borrower shall repay the unpaid Principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other outstanding Obligations (other than contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been asserted).
 
Section 2.4 Interest.
 
(a) Interest Payments. The Principal shall accrue interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the applicable Settlement Date until the Loans have been Paid in Full at a rate per annum equal to 14.0% (the “Accrual Rate”). From the applicable Settlement Date and thereafter until the Loans have been Paid in Full, interest shall be paid currently in cash on a monthly basis in arrears on each Interest Payment Date at the fixed rate of 12.0% per annum (the “Cash Pay Rate”). Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, on each Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall: (A) make an additional cash payment to the Lenders of interest accruing on the Loans since the last Interest Payment Date at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum of the Principal outstanding under the Loans (the “Additional Cash Amount”); (B) increase the then outstanding Principal of the Loans by an amount (the “PIK Amount”) equal to the difference between (i) interest accruing at the applicable Accrual Rate during the preceding month and (ii) interest accruing at the applicable Cash Pay Rate during the preceding month; or (C) pay a portion of the Additional Cash Amount to the Lenders and compound to the Principal a portion of the PIK Amount such that the combined amount of such portion of the Additional Cash Amount and such portion of the PIK Amount is equal to interest accruing since the last Interest Payment Date at a rate of 2.0% per annum of the Principal outstanding under the Loans (collectively, the Additional Cash Amount, the PIK Amount or any combination thereof, the “Additional Interest Amount”); provided that, if the Borrower shall make an election to satisfy a portion of its interest payment obligations under this Section 2.4(a) on an Interest Payment Date by compounding any of the Additional Interest Amount to Principal, it shall do so by compounding any such amount of the Additional Interest Amount to all Lenders on an equal and ratable basis. Accrued and unpaid interest shall also be due and payable on the date on which any Principal is due, including on the Maturity Date.
 
(b) Default Rate; Payment of Default Interest. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (it being understood and agreed that, with respect to an Event of Default related to non-compliance with any of the financial covenants contained herein, the date of occurrence shall be the applicable test date), at the request of the Required Lenders and subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the Principal, as well as any overdue Obligations, shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate, beginning on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, except to the extent the Required Lenders have otherwise agreed in writing not to charge such Default Rate. All such interest shall be payable on demand by the Required Lenders.
 
 
 
19
 
 
 
(c) Savings Clause. No provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Documents shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event any Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the Principal of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes; and, if the principal of the Notes has been Paid in Full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.
 
Section 2.5 Use of Proceeds . The proceeds of Loans shall be used to (i) finance a portion of the consideration payable in connection with Property Acquisitions, (ii) refinance in full the Existing Indebtedness, (iii) general working capital requirements of Borrower and for other legitimate corporate purposes approved by Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion, and (iv) in each case, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith or herewith.
 
Section 2.6 Obligations Absolute . The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents under all circumstances, including (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, (b) the existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights which Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person may have at any time against any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any unrelated transaction, (c) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any Loan Document or (d) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

In the event of an optional prepayment made under this Section 4.2, Borrower shall give the Lenders written notice of such prepayment at least ten (10) days (but not more than sixty (60) days) prior to the prepayment date, specifying (i) such prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the Principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid on such date, (iii) the accrued interest and Make Whole Amount, if any, applicable to the Loans to be prepaid and (iv) that such prepayment is to be made pursuant to this Section 4.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all payments of Principal and interest due from Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lenders on an equal and ratable basis. All Loans which have been prepaid may not be reborrowed. Any prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 4.2 shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest thereon, together with the Make Whole Amount. Any voluntary prepayments shall be allocated first to the Incremental Term Loans, if any, in inverse order of funding thereof, and last to the Closing Date Term Loan. Subject to the preceding sentence, any prepayments shall be allocated ratably to each of the Lenders in accordance with their pro rata share of the Loans.
 
Section 4.3 Mandatory Prepayment .

The making of any mandatory prepayment under this Section 4.3 shall not excuse any action that would otherwise constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Any mandatory prepayments shall be allocated first to the Incremental Term Loans, if any, in inverse order of funding thereof, and last to the Closing Date Term Loan.
 
Section 4.4 Computation of Interest . Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Each determination by a Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
Section 4.5 Sharing of Payments by Lenders
 
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Loans owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under Borrower at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (x) notify other the Lenders of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:
 
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
 
 
 
22

Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may, following written notice to Borrower of the existence of such participation, exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

[FORM OF] PROMISSORY NOTE
 
 
$[_____________]  [_________], 20[__]
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, HC GOVERNMENT REALTY HOLDINGS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [_________________] (“Lender”) or its registered assigns, at its designated office, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of [_________________] ($[__________]), together with interest thereon, on the dates and in the amounts as provided in the Loan Agreement (hereinafter defined). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used as defined in the Loan Agreement.
 
The outstanding Principal balance hereof shall bear interest at the rates provided in the Loan Agreement. Such interest shall be payable at the terms provided in the Loan Agreement. Interest on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be computed as provided in the Loan Agreement.
 
As used in this Note, the term “Loan Agreement” means that certain Loan Agreement dated as of March 19, 2019, among Borrower, Lender, and the other lenders party thereto from time to time, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time.
 
This Note (a) is a Note as provided for in the Loan Agreement and (b) is secured as provided in the Loan Agreement. Borrower may prepay the principal of this Note upon the terms and conditions specified in the Loan Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Note shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is herein provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in this Note or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and prevail, and neither Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest, or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. If for any reason interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed charged, required or permitted by any court of competent jurisdiction, any such excess shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of indebtedness evidenced by this Note; and, if the principal amount hereof has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note so that the interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder hereof may, at its option, (a) declare the entire unpaid principal of and accrued interest on this Note immediately due and payable without notice, demand or presentment, all of which are hereby waived, and upon such declaration, the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, (b) offset against this Note any sum or sums owed by the holder hereof to Borrower, and (c) take any and all other actions available to Lender under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise. Failure of the holder hereof to exercise any of the foregoing options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same upon the occurrence of a subsequent Event of Default.
 
If the holder hereof expends any effort in any attempt to enforce payment of all or any part or installment of any sum due the holder hereunder, or if this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceedings, Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and fees incurred by the holder, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, as provided in the Loan Agreement.
 
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
 
Borrower and each surety, guarantor, endorser, and other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note jointly and severally waive notice, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, diligence in collecting, grace, and all other formalities of any kind, and consent to all extensions without notice for any period or periods of time and partial payments, before or after maturity, and any impairment of any collateral securing this Note, all without prejudice to the holder. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in any way, at any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without notice to any other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of time for payment of any of said indebtedness, or to release or substitute part or all of the collateral securing this Note, or to grant any other indulgences or forbearances whatsoever, without notice to any other party and without in any way affecting the personal liability of any party hereunder.
