3.1        Modifications to Loan Documents

(a)        Loan Agreement.

(i)                     Notwithstanding any provision in any Loan Document, the following transfers shall constitute permitted transfers (subject only to any conditions set forth below) and shall not require Lender’s consent:

(1)                     the issuance sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition (each, a “REIT Share Transfer”) of any shares of common stock (the “REIT Shares”) in the REIT so long as (A) at the time of the REIT Share Transfer, the REIT Shares are registered with and subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and either (i) sold through brokerdealers, financial advisors or registered investment advisers who are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or (ii) otherwise sold in a private placement offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and (B) the REIT Share Transfer does not result in or cause a Change of Control;

(2)                     the issuance, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition (each an “OP Transfer”), of any limited partnership interests (the “OP Interests “) in the Operating Partnership so long as (A) at the time of the OP Transfer, the REIT Shares are registered with and subject to the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, and either (i) sold through brokerdealers, financial advisors or registered investment advisers who are registered with the SEC or FINRA or (ii) otherwise sold in a private placement offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and (B) the OP Transfer does not result in or cause a Change of Control;

longer owns, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the REIT Advisor, (vii) Shields no longer owns, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the REIT Advisor, or (viii) if the REIT enters into a merger, consolidation or other business combination, or a sale of all or substantially all of the REIT’s assets and/or ownership interests which results in the REIT or the OP not being the surviving entity or Borrower otherwise no longer being controlled by the REIT.

In addition to the occurrence of any of the foregoing events causing a “Change of Control,” the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, without first obtaining Lender’s written consent, shall also constitute a prohibited transfer resulting in (i) an Event of Default under Section 9.1(d) of the Security Instrument, (ii) an event for which Borrower shall become liable for the entire Debt under Section 10(a)(i)(B) of the Note, and (iii) an event for which New Indemnitor shall become liable for the entire Debt under clause (v) of the paragraph following Section 1.2(A)(g) of the Guaranty.

The successor advisor shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender. New Borrower shall submit or shall cause the REIT to submit a request to Lender for approval of the successor advisor on or before the effective date of the termination of REIT Advisor or any previously approved successor advisor to REIT Advisor. Lender shall grant or deny such request within sixty (60) days of its receipt of the request and all information Lender requires to evaluate and process the consent for the successor advisor. If Lender fails to respond within such sixty (60) day period, such failure shall be deemed the consent and approval of Lender of the successor advisor if (A) if New Borrower has delivered to Lender the applicable information with the notation “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL REQUEST WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER’S APPROVAL,” prominently displayed in bold, all caps in fourteen point font or larger in the transmittal letter requesting approval, and (B) Lender does not approve or reject the request within sixty (60) days from the date Lender receives the request and the required information.
