General Loan Term

  1. SUBJECT
    1. These general loan terms (“General Loan Terms”) apply to each loan granted via the Website and form, with the principal loan terms agreed in respect of the relevant loan, an integral loan contract in respect of that loan (“Loan Contract”), where the Borrower is the SPV in the meaning of the Website’s Terms. Different general loan terms apply to the loan agreements concluded between the User and the Project Owner and the User and the SPV.
  2. TRANSFER OF THE LOAN AMOUNT
    1. The loan amount is transferred to the SPV provided that all the following conditions have been satisfied:
      1. The Users have given acceptances in respect of a Loan Request in an aggregate principal amount of at least the amount that corresponds to the minimum amount of the funding target specified by the SPV in the loan request;
      2. the SPV has validly established collaterals of the type and in the scope specified in the principal loan terms in favour of the Collateral Agent, within 14 days after receipt of relevant notice by the Operator;
      3. no event or circumstance described in Section 12.4 of these General Loan Terms exists.
    2. The Operator determines the satisfaction or non-satisfaction of the conditions described above at its own reasonable discretion.
    3. The security shall be established in form and substance satisfactory to the Operator and, among other things be established in favour of the Collateral Agent to secure obligations arising from all Loan Contracts entered into for the funding of the project in relation to which the loan is being granted (including to secure the performance of the parallel obligation described in Section 13).
    4. Any fees and other costs payable or reimbursable by the SPV shall be paid from the loan amount, in which case the loan amount is transferred to the SPV only in an amount it exceeds the relevant fees and costs.
  3. PURPOSE OF THE LOAN
    1. The SPV must use the loan only for the purpose specified in the principal loan terms of the relevant loan and for the funding of the payment of fees and reimbursement of costs relating to that loan specified in the Terms. Using loan for any other purpose is a material breach of obligation of the Loan Contract.
    2. The SPV confirms that it shall use the loan only for funding its project to acquire and develop real estate.
  4. REPAYMENT OF LOAN
    1. The SPV shall repay the principal loan amount to the Users at the end of the loan period from the funds received from selling the real estate which was acquired and/or developed with the loan amount (“Realisation”).
    2. The SPV has the right to decrease the repayable loan amount if upon the Realisation the proceeds from the Realisation minus all applicable costs and fees is less than the aggregate principal loan amount lent to the SPV. In such case the principal loan amount being repaid to each User shall be decreased pro rata to their investment amount.
      For example: the SPV received in aggregate EUR 100,000 as a loan from the Users and acquired a real estate valued at EUR 95,000 in 2018. Upon the Realisation, the SPV sells the real estate for EUR 90,000 because the property values have decreased by the end of the loan period. The applicable fees and costs in connection with the Realisation amount to EUR 5,000, which means that the SPV shall have EUR 90,000 for loan repayment. The User has provided EUR 1,000 as a loan to the SPV, which constitutes 1% of the aggregate principal loan amount. The SPV decreases the repayable loan amount to EUR 90,000 and the repayment to the User shall be decreased pro rata. Thus, the User shall receive EUR 900, which constitutes a 1% of the decreased principal loan amount, as a repayment of the principal loan amount.
    3. The User understands that the SPV shall have the unilateral right to decrease the principal loan amount to the extent as decreased based on the Section 4.2 and explicitly agrees to waive its right to claim repayment of the principal loan amount in full upon negative Realisation of the real estate, which shall constitute as termination of obligation by agreement in the meaning of Section 207(1) of the Estonian Law of Obligations Act. The User confirms that it understands the consequences related to the termination of obligation by agreement upon negative Realisation. The SPV shall make all underlying information and data available to the Users upon which the calculations are based on.
    4. In case the object of the project is being sold for more than the principal loan amount, the User has the right to receive additional Loan Return in accordance with the Section 6.6 of the General Loan Terms.
    5. The SPV must repay the loan amount to the User as follows:
      1. If according to the principal loan terms the loan is repayable in full at end of the loan period, the SPV must repay the loan amount within 30 days after the last day of the loan period specified in the principal loan terms;
      2. If according to the principal loan terms the loan is repayable in instalments, the loan shall be returned in instalments in the frequency stipulated in the principal loan terms, and in any case the loan amount shall be repaid in full no later than within 60 days upon the termination of the loan period.
  5. PREPAYMENT OF LOAN
    1. The SPV can prepay the loan earlier by the procedure provided for in the Terms only in full (but not in part) by giving a prior notice of at least three working days. Prepayment of the loan upon which the real estate is being sold for less than the aggregated principal loan amount is allowed only if the sale of the real estate at the end of the loan period would further damage the interests of the User.
  6. LOAN RETURN
    1. The SPV shall pay the Loan Return to the Users with the frequency specified in the principal loan terms.
    2. The Loan Return is the benefit received by the SPV by means of disposal of the object of the loan (the property) through lease, rent and other contracts for use (kasutuslepingud) throughout the duration of the Loan Documents.
    3. The SPV must pay the Loan Return with the frequency specified in the principal loan terms as follows:
      1. if according to the principal loan terms the Loan Return is payable in full at the end of the loan period, the SPV shall pay Loan Return, in the amount calculated in accordance with these general loan terms, for the whole loan period no later than on the day of the repayment of the loan amount after the realisation of the object of loan;
      2. if according to the principal loan terms the Loan Return is payable periodically in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments, the SPV shall pay Loan Return by periodical payments such that on each return payment date the SPV shall pay return in the amount calculated in accordance with these general loan terms;
    4. The amount of Loan Return shall be equal to the amount of the benefits received by the SPV within the loan period from which all the costs and expenses have been deduced (Net Benefit). Net Benefit shall be calculated as follows:
    5. Gross Benefit – Costs and Expenses = Net Benefit
    6. Upon the realisation of the object of the loan at the end of the loan period agreed in the principal loan terms, the User has the right to receive additional Loan Return based on the benefits gained by the SPV from the realisation of the object of loan from which all the costs and expenses have been deduced. The realisation benefit shall be calculated as follows:
      Sale Price – Buying Price – related Costs and Expenses = Realisation Benefit
    7. In case of prepayment of the loan in accordance with the procedure provided for in Section 5 of these general loan terms, the SPV shall pay to the User unpaid Loan Return accrued until the date of repayment of the loan together with the repayment of the principal loan amount and the profit obtained from the realisation of the object of the loan.
    8. The Operator undertakes to provide Users with periodic statements at least once in every 6 months containing the review of the activities of the SPV with respect to the use of the object of the loan and the benefits accrued (activity report), providing detailed calculation of the Net Benefit. The SPV undertakes to provide to the Operator all the data necessary for drafting of activity reports.
  7. DEFAULT INTEREST
    1. In case of delay in the performance of a financial obligation, the SPV shall pay default interest. Default interest is calculated from the moment the financial obligation becomes due until its due performance, unless it is otherwise stated in the Terms or these general loan terms.
    2. The rate of default interest amounts to 8% of the amount due per annum.
  8. OTHER PAYMENTS AND FEES
    1. The SPV shall, in a timely and otherwise due manner, pay all fees and compensate all losses, fees, costs and duties the payment and/or compensation of which is the SPV’s obligation according to the Terms (including fees, duties, costs and losses payable and/or reimbursable to the Operator and Collateral Agent).
    2. In case of a secured loan the cost of the conclusion of a notarised collateral agreement (first of all, the notary fees) shall be borne by the SPV.
  9. SPV’S OBLIGATIONS
    1. The SPV shall refrain from transactions and acts in its activities that are beyond the scope of everyday economic activities of the SPV or as the result of which the SPV’s ability to timely and duly perform the obligations arising from the Loan Documents relating to the loan granted within the project may materially reduce. Among other things, the SPV may not:
      1. encumber its assets (including the real property the subject of the project to which the loan relates) with a restricted real right or other right of a third person (including with securities);
      2. dispose of the real property the subject of the project to which the loan relates, or any other material assets;

    2. The SPV must refrain from transactions and acts that may materially reduce the value or scope of security or otherwise prejudice the enforcement of security (object of Loan).

The SPV undertakes to keep its assets (including the real property provided as a security) and activities insured against the risks and to the extent as is usual for persons carrying on similar activities or for similar projects, and deliver to the User copies of the relevant insurance policies at the User’s request.
    4. The SPV must adhere to the business plan, activity plan and budget made available to the User for the User’s inspection within the project to which the loan relates except in case deviation from it does not, in the opinion of the User, prejudice the interests of the User.
    5. All payments related to any Loan Document shall be made in full in accordance with the procedure provided for in the Terms, with the SPV not being entitled to set off any amounts owing by it or make any other deductions or withholdings from such amounts.
    6. The SPV undertakes to duly follow and comply with the provisions of the Terms and any laws and other regulations applicable to it.

      3. promptly upon becoming aware of the same, of any other circumstances or events concerning the SPV, SPV’s assets, the assets subject to loan security, the provider of loan security or its assets, with regard to which the User would have, having regard to the purpose of the Loan Documents, a reasonably recognisable interest (including any relevant circumstances and events concerning the project to which the loan relates and circumstances and events concerning the real property the subject of that project (including of events described in Section 12.4.5 or 10.1.2 of these general loan terms)).

      1. default interest is calculated on the relevant obligation pursuant to the procedure provided for in Section 7 of these General Loan Terms;
      2. actions and steps described in Section 12 of the Terms may be taken with respect to the SPV in respect of that obligation; and
      3. in cases provided for in Section 12.4 of these general loan terms, the User may extraordinarily cancel the Loan Contract in accordance with the procedure provided for in the Terms.
    2. The provisions of Sections 11.1.2 and 11.1.3 of these general loan terms apply also in circumstances where the SPV breaches any non-financial obligation arising from the Loan Documents related to the loan or other grounds subsist for extraordinary cancellation of the Loan Contract.
