Item 9. Other Events
Second Amended and Restated Promissory Grid Note
On April 30, 2017, we entered into a Second Amended and restated Promissory Grid Note (the “Second Amended and Restated Promissory Grid Note”), as borrower, with Rise Companies Corp. (“Lender”) as the lender thereto. Lender is the parent company and sole member of our Manager. Accordingly, prior to entering into the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Grid Note, Manager’s independent representative reviewed and approved of the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Grid Note. The Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note replaces the earlier Amended and Restated Promissory Grid Note by and between Lender and the Company, dated as of January 31, 2017.

The aggregate amount of the loans made under the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Grid Note, together with the aggregate amount of any other loans made under any other promissory grid notes that the Lender may enter into with other real estate investment trusts it has sponsored, shall at no time exceed $10 million. As of April 30, 2017, there were four (4) other similar promissory grid notes outstanding.
Collateral
The Second Amended and Restated Promissory Grid Note is an unsecured line of credit.
Interest
Any principal drawn down under the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Grid Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to 3.0% per annum, calculated on a 30-day month / 360-day year basis.
