2.3 Payment Priority and Details. All payments under this Note shall be first
applied to interest, costs, expenses, fees, prepayment charges or fees (if applicable), delinquencies
or any other fees due under this Note or any Loan Document, and then to principal. Early payments
will not relieve Borrower of any other obligations under this Note or the Loan Documents, as they
are defined in Section 5 below. If Borrower makes a payment on the Loan which is later
dishonored, a fee in the amount of $250.00 or such greater amount incurred by Lender will be
charged, in addition to any other fees, costs and expenses due under the Loan Documents. All
payments shall be made by Borrower according to the following wire instructions:

Bank Acct #: 762509682
Reference Loan #: 2423901, 2423902, 2423903
2.4 Interest Calculation. Interest on this Note is calculated on a 360-day year
basis. With respect to any applicable period, Interest on the outstanding principal balance shall be
calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the
calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate (or the Default Rate, as
applicable) and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the then outstanding principal balance
of the Loan.
3. Prepayment. Borrower agrees that all Commitment Fees, Loan fees and all other
pre-paid finance charges or fees are fully earned as of the Disbursement Date. Borrower may
repay this Note in full prior to the Maturity Date without penalty, which prepayment shall include
all principal, interest, fees, charges, expenses and other payments that are due under this Note or
any of the Loan Documents.
4. Late Payments; Default Rate. If the Borrower fails to make any payment of
principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of this Note within three
(3) days from the date when due and payable (other than the principal amount of this Note that is
due on the Maturity Date), the Borrower also shall pay to the Lender a late charge equal to ten
percent (10.0%) of the amount of such payment (the “Late Charge”). Upon maturity, whether by
acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Lender’s option upon the occurrence of any Event
of Default (as hereinafter defined), this Note shall bear interest at a rate that shall be twenty-five
percentage points (25.0%) per annum, but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law (the
“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered
on this Note. Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for
the purpose of defraying the Lender’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments,
but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Lender’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder,
under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents

or attorneys which the Lender may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased
credit risk to the Lender of carrying a loan that is in default. The Borrower agrees that the Late
Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just compensation for anticipated and actual
harm incurred by the Lender, and that the actual harm incurred by the Lender cannot be estimated
with certainty and without difficulty.
5. Loan Documents; Security. The Loan proceeds are for the payment of interest on
a loan from Lender to Borrower made on April 22, 2021 for the acquisition of certain real property,
which is located at 14 Vesey Street, New York, New York 10007 (the “Property”) and certain
other costs of Lender in connection with the Loan and the Property, as more particularly described
in the Loan Agreement. This Note is secured, among other documents, by the following
documents of even date herewith:

Filing from Borrower encumbering the Property (the “Mortgage”);
(b) Loan Agreement;
(c) Guaranty of Loan Documents, executed by Jack Terzi (“Guarantor”) (the
“Guaranty”); and
(d) Any other documents or instruments Lender or the title company deems
necessary in its sole discretion, including certain assignments, relating to the
Loan.
This Note, the Mortgage, the Loan Agreement, the Guaranty, and all other
instruments and documents related to the Loan are collectively referred to herein as the “Loan
Documents.” The “Collateral” to secure this Note shall include, without limitation: (1) Borrower’s
interests in the Property, and all of the rights to rents, cash proceeds, revenues and profits
associated therewith and driving therefrom, as stated in the Mortgage and in any other Loan
Documents; and (2) all assets of the Guarantor as stated in the Guaranty, if any. All such security
documents are subject to all of the terms hereof to the extent necessary to enforce this Note. If
there is a conflict among any of the Loan Documents, the most favorable construction for Lender
shall be applied.
6. Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of
the following events (whether it shall be involuntary or be pursuant to or affected by operation of
law). If no cure period is stated, there is no cure or notice right for Borrower.
6.1 Failure to Make Payment. Borrower’s failure to make any payment of
principal or interest or any other payment precisely when due hereunder.
6.2 Event of Default under Loan Documents. The occurrence of any event
of default under any other of the Loan Documents, or any other agreement, pledge, security
agreement, indemnity, financing statement or other document executed in connection with this
Note or the Loan evidenced hereby, or the occurrence of any event of default, after the expiration
of all applicable notice and cure periods, under any other agreements between Borrower and

available at law or in equity or under any Loan Document, without notice, demand or presentment.
In the event of any Event of Default, (a) the entire principal balance hereof and all accrued interest
shall, at the sole option of Lender, without notice, bear interest at the interest rate set forth in
Section 4 of this Note (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law if that is less) from the
date of the Event of Default until the default is cured, (b) the entire principal balance hereof and
all accrued interest shall immediately become due and payable at the sole option of Lender, without
notice, and (c) Lender’s obligations, if any, to make any advances under this Note, will, at Lender’s
option, immediately terminate. Lender’s failure to exercise any option hereunder shall not
constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any subsequent Event of
Default.
7.2 If any amounts are due to Borrower or any Guarantor (or any of their
affiliates) from Lender for any reason, Lender may set off such amounts in order to satisfy a default
or any amounts due from Borrower under this Note.
8. Collection Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all
reasonable legal fees and other costs, disbursements and expenses incurred in collecting,
investigating or enforcing this Note and the other Loan Documents, and protecting or realizing on
any collateral whatsoever. Such fees, costs and expenses shall include those incurred with or
without suit, those incurred at or in preparation for any trial, appeal and any proceedings under
any present or future federal bankruptcy act or state receivership law, or any post-judgment
collection proceedings, including any expert, consulting or investigative fees.
9. Waivers. Except as provided above or as expressly stated in any of the other Loan
Documents, Borrower waives all notices otherwise required by law, including without limitation
presentment, protest, demand for payment, acceleration, intent to accelerate, notice of protest,
notice of demand, dishonor, non-payment of this Note, and any other notice and defense due to
extensions of time or other indulgence of or by Lender or to any substitution or release of collateral.
10. Credit Review. Lender may, from time to time and at any time, with reasonable
prior notice to Borrower, review Borrower’s and Guarantors’ creditworthiness and the basis for
Lender’s credit accommodations to Borrower. Borrower and its principals and affiliates will
execute the necessary authorization and other documents to complete this process. In connection
with any such review, Borrower will furnish and will cause Guarantors to furnish Lender with any
information regarding Borrower’s or Guarantors’ financial condition and business operations that
Lender reasonably requests. This may include without limitation financial statements, tax returns,
lists of assets and liabilities, agings of accounts receivable and payable, rent rolls, equipment lists,
budgets, and forecasts. If Lender reasonably determines that there has been a material adverse
change in the financial condition of Borrower, the Property, or Guarantor, or if any other Event of
