Without prejudice to mandatory provisions of law, theBank has the right to terminate theFacility in whole or in part in case anEvent of Default occurs ("aus wichtigem Grund"), i.e. an important reason that makes the continuation of theFacility unacceptable to the Bank,taking theBorrower’sjustified interests into account. Particularly the following circumstances constitute anEvent of Default:
| (i) | (Payment Default) Any failure of theBorrower to make any payment due under thisAgreement, where such failure (i) exceeds more than a quarter of theBorrower’s payment obligations owed to the Bank in one year and (ii) continues at least 10 (ten)Business Days after the delivery of a written notice by theBank of the failure to make such payment and referencing to the right of termination. |
Loan Agreement between ARC RMNUSGER01 LLC and Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG | Page 30 of 50 |

| (iii) | (Impairment of Economic Circumstances) A material impairment occurs in theBorrower’seconomic circumstances or threatens to occur and thus the repayment of theFacilityor the satisfaction of any other liability towards theBankis jeopardized – even when applying any existing collateral. |
| (iv) | (Change of Control) Any change in theControl of the Borrower (or any part thereof) occurs without theBank’s prior consent, subject to the Planned IPO as agreed in section 19.5(ii). The parties hereby agree that the continued exercise ofControl over theBorrower for the term of theFacility is an inherent basis for theBank’sdecision and therefore, in case of a change inControl – without prior consent – the continuation of theFacilityis unacceptable to theBank, taking theBorrower’slegitimate interests into account. |
| (v) | (Insolvency) If theBorrower becomes insolvent, i.e. is unable to meet its payment obligations or is over-indebted, or if an application for insolvency proceedings over theBorroweris filed, provided such application is not revoked or refused within 20 (twenty)Business Days after its submission. |
| (vi) | (Enforcement Measures) The Borrowerbecomes subject to enforcement measures (“Zwangsvollstreckung”) exceeding an amount of EUR 50,000 (fifty thousand Euros). |
| (vii) | (Exposure of Collateral) Any collateral stipulated in thisAgreement and not waived by the Bank is not established or its validity is or becomes doubtful and such collateral has not been validly established within 20 (twenty)Business Days after the delivery of a written notice by theBank drawing attention to this fact, or the realisation of any collateral is hindered or jeopardized and at the time no replacement collateral of an equivalent value is provided within the aforementioned time period. |
| (viii) | (Impairment of Collateral) The value of any collateral granted to theBank decreases materially and such decrease jeopardizes the repayment of theFacility or the fulfilment of any other payment obligation vis-à-vis the Bank, without theBorrower having offered to theBank other adequate additional security within 20 (twenty)Business Days after the delivery of a written notice by theBank drawing attention to the right of termination. |
| (ix) | (Change of Business) TheBorrower extends its business operations contrary to thisAgreement (see Section 19.3 (Borrower’s Company Purpose)) beyond the ownership, development, refurbishment, management and operation of theCollateral Asset and activities ancillary thereto or terminates its business operations. |
| (x) | (Incorrect Information) Any of theRepresentations or any of the information pursuant to Section 17 (Information) or any other significant information that theBorroweror aGroup Company has provided in order to obtain theFacilityor to prove observance of its obligations arising from thisAgreement is proven to be incorrect or incomplete and therefore misleading. |
| (xi) | (Information acc. to Section 4 Money Launderung Act) Any of the information according to Section 32 („Information Required pursuant to Sect. 4 Money Laundering Act“) is proven to be incorrect or incomplete or theBorrowerhas failed to update such information without undue delay upon any change; |
| (xii) | (Breach of Legal Provisions and/or Administrative Orders) TheBank in maintaining theFacilitybreaches legal provisions or official orders that are enacted after the conclusion |
Loan Agreement between ARC RMNUSGER01 LLC and Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG | Page 31 of 50 |
of thisAgreement.
| (xiii) | (Insurance Policies) TheBorrower fails to keep in effect the insurance policies that have to be maintained in accordance with Section 19.1 (Insurance) or the insurance coverage is terminated or reduced otherwise or theBorrower fails to pay the insurance premiums. |
| (xiv) | (Limitation of Interest Exposure) TheBorrower fails to satisfy its obligation to enter into aHedging Agreement according to Section 9.5 (Limitation of Interest Exposure) or aHedging Agreement entered into in accordance with the agreement under Section 9.5 (Limitation of Interest Exposure) expires. |
| (xv) | (Material Breach of Contract) The non-fulfilment and continued non-fulfilment of any other obligation set forth in anyFinance Document which – given the importance and duration of such violation – has to be regarded as being substantial, if such non-fulfilment is not cured within a period of 20 (twenty)Business Days after the delivery of a written notice by theBank referencing to the right of termination. |
As long as a cure period applicable to the circumstances listed above has not fully elapsed or a formal written notice of anEvent of Default by theBank has not been delivered and therefore anEvent of Default has not occurred so far, but the respective circumstance or event has occurred and is continuing after a notice was given to the Borrower, such situation shall constitute aPotential Event of Default.
| 21.3. | Acceleration / Damages |
Following termination, theOutstanding Amountshall become due and payable, including all receivables arising in connection thereof. TheBank may demand immediate repayment of theOutstanding Amounttogether with any additional payments falling due under thisAgreement(including - if applicable-Default Interest and prepayment costs according to Section 22(Indemnification, Prepayment Costs and Prepayment Fee) or any fee letters).
Additionally, at the discretion of theBank, anyHedging Agreement concluded with theBank, if any, may be terminated by theBank.
Any acceleration of theFacility shall in no way affect the validity of thisAgreement or the validity of the collateral provided for theFacility. Any delay in exercising the right of termination shall not be regarded as a waiver thereof.

theBorrower must pay to theBank prepayment costs in the amount of the difference between (i) the interest payments (inclusiveMargin), which theBank should have received until the nextInterest Payment Date and (ii) the amount which theBank would be able to obtain by placing the prepaid amount on deposit at EONIA-Rate (theEONIA Ratemeans Euro Over Night Index Average which is fixed by the European Central Bank -"EZB"-) over the relevant period, pursuant to Reuters page “EONIA”. The amount of the prepayment costs shall be discounted to present value using the EONIA-Rate over the relevant period.
As prepayment costs will not accrue for a period exceeding a duration of maximum 3 (three) months minus 1 (one) day, the calculation of the prepayment costs shall not include any spared administration costs or any spared costs for risk.
TheBank has to provide theBorrower with the basis of its calculation of the prepayment costs. TheBorrower may prove that the damage to theBank is actually lower.
| 23.1. | Account Relationship |
