Neither Obligor knows of any basis for any other tax or assessment that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii)The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

No lender on any Existing Indebtedness has (1) issued an uncured letter of default, (2) accelerated any Indebtedness or (3) filed any foreclosure action or similar legal proceeding or otherwise exercised remedies (provided that the triggering of any springing obligations

4.1Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the net proceeds of the sale of the Notes hereunder in any manner it deems appropriate to support the continued operation of the business conducted by the Company, the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries, provided that Company will not distribute the proceeds of the sale of the Notes hereunder to its investors or shareholders, and provided, further, that the Company will deposit the Interest Reserve with Collateral Agent as more particularly set forth in Section 4.3. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any Securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute more than 5% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 5% of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.

(a)On the First Closing Date, the Obligors shall pay to the Collateral Agent, for distribution to the First Closing Investors for reimbursement, as applicable, an amount equal to (i) the total reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Collateral Agent, the Investors and their Affiliates in connection with the First Closing, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal and due diligence costs, up to a maximum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (“Expense Cap”), less (ii) One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) paid by the Company to the Collateral Agent, for distribution to the First Closing Investors for reimbursement, as applicable, upon the execution of the Summary of Terms on October 21, 2020 by such parties (“Expense Deposit”) (which, if any, shall be referred to as the “First Closing Excess Expenses”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and for the avoidance of doubt, the Expense Deposit paid by the Company to the Collateral Agent in clause (ii) above is non-refundable (and neither the Collateral Agent nor any Investors shall have any obligation to return any of the $100,000 to either Obligor) regardless of whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or any sale of Notes occurs pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)On the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate principal amount of all Second Closing Notes actually issued and sold by the Company to the Investors pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and (ii) the Trading Day after the Subsequent Closing Deadline, the Obligors shall pay to the Collateral Agent, for distribution to the Second Closing Investors in proportion to the principal amount set forth across from such Second Closing Investor’s name under the heading “Principal Amount of Second Closing Note” on the Schedule of Investors, an amount equal to (x) the total reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent, the Investors and their Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal and due diligence costs, up to the Expense Cap, less (y) the Expense Deposit, and less (z) any First Closing Excess Expenses paid by the Company to the Collateral Agent at the First Closing pursuant Section 4.2(a) above (which, if any, shall be referred to as the “Second Closing Excess Expenses”).

4.3Interest Reserve. On the First Closing Date, the Company shall pay and deliver to the Collateral Agent (or offset in the Flow of Funds), and thereafter shall maintain at all times until all amounts due and payable under the Notes have been paid in full, the sum sufficient to fully escrow all Interest (as defined in the Notes) that will accrue (excluding any of the same following any payment thereof in accordance with the terms of the Notes) pursuant to the terms of the Notes, including all Interest that will accrue during the period commencing on the First Closing Date and ending on the Maturity Date and, if the Maturity Date is extended in accordance with Section 3 of the Notes, the period commencing on the date

immediately succeeding the Initial Maturity Date and ending on the Extended Maturity Date, all as reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent on the First Closing Date (with respect to the payments of Interest due through the Initial Maturity Date) or Second Closing Date (with respect to the payments of Interest due from the Initial Maturity Date through the Extended Maturity Date, if applicable) (the “Interest Reserve”). If the Collateral Agent reasonably determines that the Interest Reserve is at any time in excess of the amount required to fully fund the Interest Reserve, whether as the result of any prepayment of the Notes or otherwise, any such excess will be disbursed from the Interest Reserve and applied in accordance with the terms of the Notes, provided that the Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with the Company to apply any projected excess in connection with any prepayment in accordance with the terms of the Notes. (By way of example only, if the Company coordinates with the Collateral Agent for a $1,000,000.00 prepayment on the first anniversary of the First Closing Date, and if such prepayment would entitle the Company to a $120,000.00 reduction in the Interest Reserve, the Company would be permitted to tender the net amount of $880,000.00, which the Collateral Agent would combine with the disbursement of the $120,000.00 reduction to the Interest Reserve for a total prepayment of $1,000,000.00.) The Collateral Agent shall escrow the Interest Reserve pending application in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall make disbursements from the Interest Reserve to make quarterly payments of accrued interest in accordance with the terms of the Notes. The Company hereby pledges, assigns and grants a security interest to the Collateral Agent, as security for payment and the performance of all Obligations, in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Interest Reserve and in and to any deposit account in which the same is deposited, which security interest is prior to all other Liens. Other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the Company has not sold or otherwise conveyed the Interest Reserve or any interest therein. The funds contained in the Interest Reserves shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent.

The Collateral Agent or a designated representative of the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Interest Reserve and any such deposit account in accordance with the terms hereof and the Notes. Promptly following any request of the Collateral Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver any deposit account control agreement or take any other actions, which the Company hereby authorizes and directs (including, without limitation, the filing of a financing statement and the payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith at the Company’s expense) that the Collateral Agent reasonably requires in order to perfect its security interest in the Interest Reserve and any such deposit account.

4.4Blue Sky. The Company, on or before each Applicable Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Notes for sale to the Investors at such Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification). The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Notes required under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Applicable Closing Date and shall provide copies to any Investor who so requests.

4.5Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Guarantor and the Company shall, on or before 9:30 a.m. (New York time), on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, issue a press release (the “Press Release”), the contents of which shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval of the Investors, disclosing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. On or before 9:30 a.m., New York time, on the fourth (4^th) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, the Guarantor and the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the Exchange Act and attaching all the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the form of Notes). Without the prior written consent of an Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Guarantor and the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of such Investor, or include the name of such Investor in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market; provided, however, that without such Investor’s consent, the Guarantor and the Company may publicly disclose the name of such Investor, or include the name of such Investor in any filing with the SEC or any

regulatory agency or Trading Market (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with any registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Investors with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

4.6Non-Public Information. Except with respect to (i) the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) information provided to the Observer or any member of the Board appointed by KW, each Obligor covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on their behalf will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that the Obligors believe constitutes material non-public information from and after the filing of the Press Release, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have entered into a written agreement with the Obligors regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting any transactions in Securities of the Guarantor.

4.7Amendment or Modification to Existing Indebtedness. Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied, in full, in accordance with their terms, the Company and the Guarantor shall not, nor shall they permit any of their Subsidiaries to, amend or modify any loan documentation evidencing any of the Existing Indebtedness secured by the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets of the Subsidiaries without the Collateral Agent’s prior written approval in its sole discretion.

4.8Reporting. On the twentieth (20th) day of each month beginning in April 2021, or at such other times as reasonably requested by Collateral Agent upon reasonable notice, the Company shall provide confirmation to the Collateral Agent of compliance with all requirements set forth herein and in the Notes (including without limitation that no Liquidity Event (as defined in the Notes), if applicable, has occurred) along with information reasonably requested by Collateral Agent to confirm such compliance; provided, however, that any requested financial information shall only be required to the extent such reporting is accordance with GAAP and is capable of being provided in the ordinary course of Company’s business and without undue burden.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise.

The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Company shall default under the terms of a Note or this Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given Event of Default, the Guaranty contained in this Article VI shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent Event of Default.

If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Guarantor in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to the holders of the Notes in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Guarantor to the holders of the Notes, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

6.9Marshalling. No holder of a Note shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Company under or in respect of the Notes and this Agreement or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

6.10Transfer of Notes. All rights of any holder of a Note under this Article VI shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of any Note held

9.10Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 9.1(a) or all indebtedness and other obligations under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents have been paid and performed in full, the representations and warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive indefinitely and shall not be merged in the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

9.11Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall

not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

9.12Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Documents. The decision of each Investor to purchase Notes pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Obligors which may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.

9.13Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Collateral Agent, the Investors and the Obligors will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

9.14Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed or caused this Note Purchase Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized signatories as of the date first indicated above.

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Sotherly Hotels LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to [______________________] or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) in cash the product of the amount set out above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption or otherwise, the “Principal”) and the applicable Repayment Factor (the “Repayment Principal Amount”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate from the date set out above as the Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date, the Maturity Date, acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Secured Note (including all Senior Secured Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of a series of Senior Secured Notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date and referred to in the Note Purchase Agreement as the First Closing Notes (collectively, the “Notes”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 27.

1.Payments of Principal; Conditional Prepayment. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the Repayment Principal Amount, plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges on such Repayment Principal Amount and Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any repayment or redemption hereunder, as applicable, the Company shall repay or redeem, as applicable, (i) first, all accrued and unpaid Interest hereunder and under any other Notes held by such Holder, (ii) second, all accrued and unpaid Late Charges on any Repayment Principal Amount and Interest hereunder and under any other Notes held by such Holder, (iii) third, all other amounts (other than the Original Principal) outstanding under any other Notes held by such Holder, and (v) fourth, all of the Repayment Principal Amount outstanding hereunder and under any other Notes held by such Holder, in each case, allocated pro rata among this Note and such other Notes held by such Holder. The indebtedness and other obligations evidenced hereby may be prepaid in part or in full at any time without penalty so long as the Company shall have offered to simultaneously prepay a pro rata portion of all other Notes and Second Closing Notes held by each of the holders thereof on the same terms and conditions. Any and all partial prepayments shall be applied to the reduction of the indebtedness and other obligations evidenced hereby in inverse order of its maturity and shall not abridge or postpone the obligation to make the regular payments as herein provided until the indebtedness and other obligations evidenced hereby have been paid in full.

and shall be payable in arrears for each Calendar Quarter on the first (1^st) Business Day of each Calendar Quarter after the Issuance Date (each, an “Interest Date”). Interest shall be payable on each Interest Date, to the record holder of this Note on the applicable Interest Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder in writing to the Company; provided funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve shall be released to Holder on each Interest Date in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents. Prior to the payment of Interest on an Interest Date, Interest on this Note shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest on each Redemption Date and/or in connection with any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default.

3.Maturity Date. All obligations hereunder shall be due and payable by the Company on December 30, 2023 (the “Initial Maturity Date”). The Company shall have the one-time option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Maturity Date under all Notes and Second Closing Notes to December 30, 2024 (the “Extended Maturity Date”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3. Any exercise of the Extension Option will be subject to and conditioned upon (i) the Company’s giving Holder written notice of the exercise of the Extension Option as to all Notes and Second Closing Notes at least sixty (60) days, but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days, prior to the Initial Maturity Date, (ii) both at the time of such exercise (or attempted exercise) and on the Initial Maturity Date, there existing no Event of Default or any uncured default under the terms and conditions of any Transaction Document which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, (iii) the representations and warranties of the Company remaining true and correct in all material respects (or, as to any representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, true and correct in all respects), (iv) the Company’s certifying, to Holder’s reasonable satisfaction (including such evidence thereof as Holder reasonably may request), both at the time of such exercise (or attempted exercise) and on the Initial Maturity Date that, for the period of twelve (12) calendar months ending with the most recently completed calendar month preceding each such certification, FFO is equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00, (v) concurrently with the exercise (or attempted exercise) of the Extension Option, the Company’s payment to Holder of an extension fee in the amount of one percent (1.00%) of the Principal under this Note that shall remain outstanding as of the Initial Maturity Date, and (vi) on the Initial Maturity Date, replenishing the Interest Reserve, as more particularly set forth in Section 4.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement, for the period commencing on the date immediately succeeding the Initial Maturity Date and ending on the Extended Maturity Date.

4.1Event of Default. Unless waived in writing by the Holder, each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” and (i) each of the events in clauses (d), (e) and (f) below shall constitute a “Bankruptcy Event of Default” and (ii) the events in clause (b) below shall constitute a “Monetary Event of Default”:

(b)the Company’s or the Guarantor’s (x) failure to pay to the Holder the Repayment Principal Amount or any other amount of Principal within three (3) Business Days after such amounts were as due under this Note, or (y) failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Interest, Late Charges or other amounts (other than Principal which is covered by clause (x) above), or to pay to or deposit with the Collateral Agent any deposits to the Interest Reserve or other amounts, within five (5) Business Days after such amounts were as due under this Note or the other Transaction Documents, provided, however, that such grace periods shall not be duplicative of any other grace or notice and cure period or other requirement for payment or deposit within any period expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents relating to any such payments or deposits;

(c)the occurrence of (i) any default under or redemption of any Indebtedness with regards to any Core Property where the Lender accelerates the debt or otherwise demands payment in full or such Indebtedness is not paid in full at maturity or (ii) any default under, redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity of, any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, other than with respect to any Notes or Second Closing Notes, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(d)bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company, the Guarantor, any direct owner of a Core Property, any of the Pledgors pursuant to the Security Agreement or any successor thereof, any Subsidiary if, as the result thereof, the Company or Guarantor incurs liability in respect of such Subsidiary in excess of the Company’s or Guarantor’s contingent liability therefor as of the date hereof, or more than three other Subsidiaries and, if instituted against any of the foregoing by a third party, shall not be dismissed within ninety (90) days of their initiation;

(f)the entry by a court of (i) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document in respect of the Company, the Guarantor, any direct owner of a Core Property, any of the Pledgors pursuant to the Security Agreement or any successor thereof, any Subsidiary if, as the result thereof, the Company or Guarantor incurs liability in respect of such Subsidiary in excess of the Company’s or Guarantor’s contingent liability therefor as of the date hereof, or more than three other Subsidiaries, of a voluntary or involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document adjudging such entities as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate under any applicable federal, state or foreign law or (iii) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document

appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of such entities or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree, order, judgment or other similar document or any such other decree, order, judgment or other similar document unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days;

(g)a final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $500,000 is rendered against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates and which judgment is not, within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged, settled or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included above so long as the Company provides the Holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the Company or such Subsidiary or other Affiliate (as the case may be) will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within sixty (60) days of the final resolution of such judgment;

(h)any default by the Company or the Guarantor in the due performance and observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained in Section 10; provided, that such defaults under Section 10.10 shall not be deemed an Event of Default if such default is cured prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date the Company or the Guarantor becomes aware of the factual circumstances giving rise to the default;

(i)Any express representation or warranty of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate set forth in any Transaction Document or any express written certification provided by the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate pursuant to any Transaction Document is incorrect or misleading in any material respect when given or, as to any representation, warranty or other written statement that is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, incorrect or misleading in any respect);

(j)other than as specifically set forth in another clause of this Section 4.1, any material default by the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate in the due performance and observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Transaction Document, except, in the case of a breach of a covenant that is curable, only if such breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days; provided that, if such breach is not able to be cured within such thirty (30) day period despite the Company’s diligent efforts, such cure period shall be extended as necessary to effectuate such cure, up to an additional sixty (60) day period, provided, however, that such grace periods shall not be duplicative of any other grace or notice and cure period or other requirement for performance within any period expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents relating to any such obligations;

(k)a false or inaccurate certification by the Company or the Guarantor of which the Company or the Guarantor has actual knowledge of its falsity or inaccuracy when given;

or the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Transaction Document (including the Guaranty pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement and any other Security Document) or the Guarantor repudiates, revokes or attempts to revoke its Guaranty pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement or any joinder thereto;

(m)the Security Agreement or any other Security Document shall for any reason fail or cease to create a valid and perfected and, except to the extent permitted by the terms hereof or thereof, first priority Lien on the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holder or any material provision of any Security Document shall at any time for any reason cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any party thereto, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Company, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof;

(n)any Event of Default (as defined in the other Notes or Second Closing Notes) occurs with respect to any other Notes or Second Closing Notes; or

(o)any failure to comply with any of the timelines set forth in Section 6.1 within five (5) Business Days following the expiration thereof.

4.2Notice of an Event of Default: Event of Default Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days of Company having actual knowledge of such Event of Default deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default and ending (such ending date, the “Event of Default Right Expiration Date”) on the twentieth (20^th) Trading Day after the later of (x) the date such Event of Default is cured and (y) the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice that includes (I) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (II) a certification as to whether, in the opinion of the Company, such Event of Default is capable of being cured and, if applicable, a reasonable description of any existing plans of the Company to cure such Event of Default and (III) a certification as to the date the Event of Default occurred and, if cured on or prior to the date of such Event of Default Notice, the applicable Event of Default Right Expiration Date, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured on or prior to the Event of Default Right Expiration Date) all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the Redemption Amount to be redeemed as of the date of the Event of Default (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 4.2 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 8. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4.2 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 4.2, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Any redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an election of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and remedies of the Holder shall be preserved.

4.3Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall promptly pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Repayment Principal Amount, accrued and unpaid Interest, and accrued and unpaid Late Charges on such Repayment Principal Amount and Interest as of the date of the Bankruptcy Event of Default, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other person or entity; provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

(a)Restrictions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless: either (i) the Company is the surviving Person; or (ii) the Successor Entity (if other than the Company) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents as provided in Section 5.1(b).

(b)Assumption. To satisfy clause (ii) of Section 5.1(a), (i) the Successor Entity shall assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company (or the Successor Entity, as applicable), including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and the interest rates of the Notes, respectively, held by such holder, having similar ranking and security to the Notes, and reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company (or the Successor Entity, as applicable) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(c)Waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 5.1 to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note.

(d)Applicability. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions.

5.2Notice of a Change of Control; Redemption Right. No sooner than twenty (20) Trading Days nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of

Control (the “Change of Control Date”), but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or the Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on the later of ten (10) Trading Days after (A) consummation of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Redemption Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”) equal to the Redemption Amount being redeemed. Redemptions required by this Section 5.2 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5.2 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 5.2, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.

6.Additional Remedies. The rights and remedies set forth below are in addition to all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and/or Holder set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents, all of which are cumulative, non-exclusive and expressly reserved.

(a)No later than ten (10) days after the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Liquidity Event, and subject to the final sentence of this Section 6.1(a), the Company, by written notice to the Collateral Agent, shall select one or more of the hotel properties owned by the Company’s Subsidiaries for consideration for Disposition or Refinancing of any Indebtedness secured thereby that is reasonably likely to generate sufficient Net Cash Proceeds as the result of such Disposition(s) and/or Refinancing(s) to eliminate the Liquidity Event or cure the Event of Default, as applicable, which shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.1(d) below. Each of the properties so selected shall be submitted by the Company to a commercial broker or MAI appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent with at least five (5) years’ commercial real estate brokerage or appraisal experience either nationally or in the metropolitan area of such property and specializing in hotel and hospitality assets. Within twenty (20) days following the selection of the properties, each of the brokers or appraisers shall provide a written opinion of the market value of each of the selected properties, including the anticipated period for marketing for Disposition, in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Within five (5) Business Days of Company’s receipt of such opinion(s) of value, the Company shall identify one or more hotel properties, based on the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds to be realized from such Disposition or Refinancing, the anticipated length of time for marketing, negotiation and closing of any such Disposition or Refinancing, additional information regarding the credit markets for assets of such location, type and condition, and such other factors as the Company shall determine in the exercise of its good faith business judgment, for Disposition (each, a “Disposition Property”) or Refinancing of any Indebtedness secured thereby (each, a “Refinancing Property”, and any and all Disposition Properties collectively with any and all Refinancing Properties, the “Identified Properties”), each of

which selection(s) shall be subject to Collateral Agent’s reasonable approval and all of which selection(s) shall be sufficient, as determined by such opinion(s) of value, to generate Net Cash Proceeds as the result of the Disposition or Refinancing thereof to eliminate the Liquidity Event or cure the Event of Default, as applicable, which shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.1(d) below; provided that Collateral Agent will be deemed to have acted reasonably in denying the selection of any of the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets as an Identified Property prior to the selection of other properties identified hereinabove, unless the disposition or refinance of such assets, individually or as part of a group of Identified Properties, is reasonably anticipated to result in sufficient Net Cash Proceeds to satisfy all obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Note and all of the other Transaction Documents, and, provided, further, that the Disposition(s) of any of the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets shall not occur prior to the Disposition(s) or Refinancing(s) of any other Identified Properties without the Collateral Agent’s approval in its sole discretion. Within five (5) Business Days following the Company’s selection of each Identified Property as a Disposition Property or a Refinancing Property, as applicable, the Company and the Guarantor shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary owning an Identified Property to, (x) engage a commercial broker and/or mortgage broker, as applicable, that is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, to list the Disposition Property for sale or to pursue loan commitments for the Refinancing Property, as applicable, (y) use best efforts to pursue the Disposition and/or Refinancing, as applicable, of such Identified Properties and (z) keep the Collateral Agent apprised of the status thereof. All costs incurred in connection with the determination of the market value of the properties, listing and marketing for Disposition, commissions and any and all other costs and expenses payable to commercial and mortgage brokers or otherwise incurred in connection with any of the foregoing shall be paid by the Company no later than the Disposition or Refinancing of such property, and the Collateral Agent shall have the right to secure opinions of value and to take the other actions set forth above, at the Company’s expense, following any failure of the Company to secure and provide or perform the same within the time periods set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall propose one or more Dispositions and/or Refinancings which collectively provide for reasonably anticipated Net Cash Proceeds sufficient to satisfy all obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Note and all of the other Transaction Documents, the final selection of the Identified Properties shall not require the Collateral Agent’s reasonable approval, provided, however, that the Disposition(s) of any of the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets shall not occur prior to the Disposition(s) or Refinancing(s) of the other Identified Properties without the Collateral Agent’s approval in its sole discretion.

(b)If (i) as to a Refinancing Property, the process described in Section 6.1(a) does not result in a signed commitment letter from a Qualified Lender for such refinance within thirty (30) days of the engaging of a mortgage broker for the purpose thereof, (ii) as to any Disposition Property, the process described in Section 6.1(a) does not result in a signed letter of intent from a Qualified Buyer for such Disposition within sixty (60) days of the engaging of a commercial broker for the purpose thereof, (iii) if the applicable Refinance has not been completed within ninety (90) days from the engaging of the applicable mortgage broker or (iv) if the applicable Disposition or Refinance has not been completed within one hundred fifty (150) days from the engaging of the applicable commercial broker, then, in each case, (x) Company shall repeat the process set forth in Section 6.1(a) for the selection of one or more additional properties for Disposition or Refinancing, and (y) the Collateral Agent, in sole discretion, shall have the right to secure and provide or perform any of the actions set forth in Section 6.1(a) and/or Section 6.1(b), at the Company’s expense.

(c)The Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall be unreasonable for it to reject any letter of intent from a Qualified Buyer – and it shall cause its Subsidiaries owning any Disposition Property to accept any such letter of intent and to promptly close the Disposition of such Disposition Property – so long as such offer is for a purchase price that is no less than ninety percent (90.0%) of the market value thereof as set forth in the opinion of value for such Disposition Property obtained pursuant to Section 6.1(a) above.

(d)Substantially concurrently with the closing of any Disposition or Refinancing of an Identified Property (i) in the event such Disposition or Refinance has occurred due to a Liquidity Event, the Company shall retain Net Cash Proceeds sufficient to cause the Company’s unencumbered and unrestricted liquid assets of cash to be equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the minimum set forth in the definition of Liquidity Event, with the remainder being applied toward prepayment of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents (such prepayments to be applied in accordance with Section 1) or (ii) in the event such Disposition or Refinance has occurred due to any Event of Default, the Company shall prepay the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in the full amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition or Refinancing (such prepayments to be applied in accordance with Section 1); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require application of Net Cash Proceeds in an amount greater than the actual outstanding obligations of the Company pursuant to this Note and the other Transaction Documents.

6.2Cash Management. From and after the occurrence of a Monetary Event of Default, and subject to the provisions of the documents governing the Existing Indebtedness, the Company, the Guarantor and their Subsidiaries will comply with the terms and conditions of Exhibit 6.2, Cash Management Provisions, attached hereto and made a part of this Note.

6.3Security Agreement. In the event that Collateral Agent exercises remedies pursuant to the Security Agreement following a Monetary Event of Default, the proceeds resulting from the resulting UCC sale or similar disposition of the applicable Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement shall be treated as a prepayment in the full amount of such proceeds (such prepayment to be applied in accordance with Section 1). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies pursuant to the Security Agreement does not result in a UCC sale or similar disposition of the applicable Collateral, or if any Affiliate of (i) KW, (ii) Collateral Agent, (iii) any Holder or (iv) or any direct or indirect owner of KW, Collateral Agent or any Holder is the ultimate purchaser at such UCC sale or similar disposition, the exercise of such remedies shall be treated as a prepayment and applied pro rata to each of the Notes and Second Closing Notes, or as otherwise determined by the holders thereof, in the amount of ninety percent (90.0%) of the Appraised Value on the date such Appraised Value is determined.

7.Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that neither the Company nor the Guarantor will, by amendment of its certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other governing document or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and that it will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note.

(a)If the Holder has submitted an Event of Default Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 4.2, the Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice (each, an “Event of Default Redemption Date”).

(b)If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5.2, the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise (each, a “Change of Control Redemption Date”).

(c)In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Redemption Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14.4) representing the outstanding portion of the Redemption Amount which has not been redeemed.

(d)In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Redemption Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Redemption Amount, and (y) the Company shall promptly return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 14.4), to the Holder; provided, that, notwithstanding the applicable Redemption Notice being deemed null and void and such return or issuance of this Note or a new Note in accordance with the foregoing, a continual Event of Default shall thereafter be deemed to have occurred and be continuing until the subsequent repayment of the Redemption Price. Furthermore, the Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Redemption Amount subject to such notice.

8.2Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the other Notes or Second Closing Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 4 or Section 5.2 (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than five (5) Business Days after its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile or electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company

shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) and the Second Closing Notes based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

9.Voting Rights. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note.

10.Covenants. Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied, in full, in accordance with their terms:

10.1Rank. All payments due under this Note (a) shall rank pari passu with all other Notes and any Senior Secured Notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement following the Issuance Date that are referred to in the Note Purchase Agreement as the Second Closing Notes and (b) shall be senior to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (other than the Existing Indebtedness).

10.2Incurrence of Indebtedness. The Company and the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (other than (i) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note, the other Notes and any Senior Secured Notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement following the Issuance Date that are referred to in the Note Purchase Agreement as the Second Closing Notes. (ii) other Permitted Indebtedness, and (iii) unsecured Indebtedness so long as the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are applied to payment or prepayment of the outstanding Notes in accordance with the Transaction Documents); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no additional secured Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness, shall be permitted without Holder’s prior written consent in its sole discretion and, without limiting the foregoing, any such consent shall require the application of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof to payment or prepayment of the outstanding Notes in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

10.3Existence of Liens. The Company and the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any Liens which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates other than Permitted Liens and any Liens which have been bonded over or are being contested in a commercially reasonable manner.

10.4Redemption, Dividends and Distributions. The Company and the Guarantor shall not, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, redeem, repurchase or declare, make or pay any dividend or distribution on any Equity Interests (any of the foregoing, a “Restricted Payment”), other than (i) Restricted Payments made by any Subsidiary or other Affiliate to the Company or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company and (ii) any dividend payments or other distributions by the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate payable solely in Equity Interests of such Person; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Guarantor may proceed with any capital markets transactions that do not result in a Restricted Payment, provided that the Net Cash Proceeds of such capital markets transactions are applied to payment or prepayment of the outstanding Notes in accordance with the Transaction Documents.

the Net Cash Proceeds of such Dispositions will be applied to payment or prepayment of the outstanding Notes in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, (ii) sales of inventory and product in the ordinary course of business, (iii) sales or other transfers of assets from the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary (other than the Issuers and Pledgors pursuant to the Security Agreement or any successor Subsidiary owning any of the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets or any interest in any Subsidiary owning any of the same) to the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary or (iv) any capital markets transaction, provided the Net Cash Proceeds of such capital markets transaction will be applied to the payment or prepayment of the outstanding Notes in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.

10.6Acquisitions. Without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, the Company and the Guarantor shall not, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, acquire all or substantially all of the assets or Equity Interests of any Person or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any operating division of any Person that is not a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Acquisition”), provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, change (x) the Company’s and the Guarantor’s Control, and the Company’s direct or indirect ownership, of all Subsidiaries thereof that own hotel properties and (y) the Pledgors’ ownership of the Issuers under the Security Agreement (excluding any exercise of remedies thereunder by the Collateral Agent).

10.7Change in Nature of Business. The Company and the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business conducted by or publicly contemplated to be conducted by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates on the First Closing Date or any business substantially related or incidental thereto. The Company and the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, modify its or their corporate or other organizational structure or purpose in any material respect.

10.8Transactions with Affiliates. The Company and the Guarantor shall not, nor shall they permit any of their Subsidiaries to, (i) enter into any new transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease, transfer or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of any kind) with any affiliate, except (i) transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business in a manner and to an extent consistent with past practice and necessary or desirable for the prudent operation of its business, and (ii) transactions entered into for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to them or their Subsidiaries than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an affiliate thereof, or (ii) amend or otherwise modify the terms of any transaction or series of related transactions with any affiliate in a manner that is inconsistent with the foregoing.

10.9Maintenance of Existence; Compliance Laws, Etc. The Company and the Guarantor shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, preserve and maintain its legal existence, comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including the payment (before the same become delinquent), of all taxes, imposed upon it or upon its property except to the extent being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on the books of the Company or its Subsidiary or other Affiliate, as applicable.

10.10Insurance. The Company and the Guarantor shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, maintain:

(a)insurance on its property with financially sound and reputable insurance companies against business interruption, liability, loss and damage in at least the amounts

(and with only those deductibles) customarily maintained, and against such risks as are typically insured against in the same general area, by Persons of comparable size engaged in the same or similar business as the Company and its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates; provided that Holder agrees that any insurance reviewed by it on or prior to the date hereof has been judged to satisfy the foregoing requirements; and

(b)all worker’s compensation, employer’s liability insurance or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which it may be engaged in business.

10.11Subsidiary Matters. None of the Company, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall establish, form, create or acquire any new direct or indirect Subsidiary unless (i) such Subsidiary shall be a Domestic Subsidiary, is directly or indirectly wholly owned by the Company, and is being used to effectuate the refinance of any Existing Indebtedness permitted by the Transaction Documents and (ii) the same does not result in any change in the Pledgors’ ownership of the Issuers under the Security Agreement (excluding any exercise of remedies thereunder by the Collateral Agent).

10.12Maintenance of Authorizations, Intellectual Property, Etc. The Company and the Guarantor shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain in full force and effect all Regulatory Authorizations, authorizations or other rights necessary and material for the operations of its business, and comply with the terms and conditions applicable to the foregoing, excluding the maintenance of any Regulatory Authorizations that are not commercially reasonably necessary or material for the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates; (ii) operate their business and facilities in material compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including any newly introduced or revised applicable laws, rules and regulations as they may become introduced, altered or otherwise evolve over time; (iii) [intentionally omitted]; (iv) maintain in full force and effect all Intellectual Property owned, developed or controlled (or jointly owned, developed or controlled) by the Company and its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates; (v) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and maintain in full force and effect legal protection for all Intellectual Property developed or controlled (or jointly owned, developed or controlled) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates; and (vi) not permit the activities and business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to knowingly violate, infringe, misappropriate or misuse any Intellectual Property of any other Person.

10.14General and Administrative Expenses. The Company and the Guarantor shall not, nor shall they permit any of their Subsidiaries to, pay, give, distribute or otherwise render any compensation – whether in the form of salary, wages, bonuses, distributions, retirement or other benefits or any other valuable consideration for services rendered – in an aggregate amount that exceeds the aggregate amount paid during the 2019 calendar year (the “G&A Cap”), provided, however, and so long as the G&A Cap is not exceeded, the foregoing shall not restrict the Company, the Guarantor or their Subsidiaries from rehiring staff and resuming contributions to employee retirement programs as they shall determine in their commercially reasonable, good faith business judgment.

Issuance Date and expiring on the Maturity Date, provided, however, that non-recurring Capital Expenditures expressly required in a written franchise agreement as a franchisor’s condition of renewal shall be permitted and shall not be included in the aggregate amount subject to the CapEx Limit.

If the Company, the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries Disposes of any property, Refinances any Existing Indebtedness or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder, receives any Extraordinary Receipt or executes on any capital markets transaction, any of which results in the realization by such Person of Net Cash Proceeds, the Company shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents equal to one hundred percent (100.0%) of such Net Cash Proceeds substantially concurrently with closing (such prepayments to be applied in accordance with Section 1).

10.17Restricted Dispositions and Refinancing. The Company, the Guarantor and their Subsidiaries shall be permitted to conduct a Disposition or Refinance any Existing Indebtedness prior to the Maturity Date without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, provided that the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Disposition or Refinance shall be applied to payment or prepayment of the outstanding Notes in accordance with the Transaction Documents, provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantor shall not, nor shall they permit any of their Subsidiaries to, (i) Refinance any of the Existing Indebtedness secured by the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets of the Subsidiaries without such Refinancing lender’s consent to the pledge of the ownership interests in the Subsidiary property owners as set forth in the Security Agreement, in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent or (ii) Dispose of any interest in any Issuer pursuant to the Security Agreement (or any successor Subsidiary owning any of the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets) or in any of the property owned by any such Issuers or successor Subsidiaries.

10.18Default Notices. Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, following the earlier of (x) receipt by the Company, the Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries of any notice of (i) default or exercise of remedies by any lender under the Existing Indebtedness (or any Refinancing thereof) or (ii) any litigation relating to the non-payment of any other Indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000 or more, and irrespective of any grace or notice and cure period relating to any of the foregoing, or (y) the Company’s having actual knowledge of any such default or exercise of remedies or initiation of any such litigation, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.

10.19Accounts Payable. The Company shall not, beginning on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof and (ii) sixty (60) days after the Second Closing Date, until the indebtedness and other obligations evidenced hereby have been paid in full, permit the aggregate accounts payable of the Company, the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (computed in accordance with GAAP) to exceed more than $5,000,000.00 at any time. In the event that aggregate accounts payable as set forth above exceed $5,000,000.00 upon the date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof, and provided that the Second Closing Date has not yet occurred, the Company shall be required to proceed with the Second Closing and, within sixty (60) days thereof, reduce the aggregate accounts payable of the Company, the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (computed in accordance with GAAP) to no more than $5,000,000.00.

Any change, amendment or waiver by the Company and the Required Holders in accordance with this Section 11.1 shall be binding on the Holder of this Note and all holders of the other Notes and the Second Closing Notes.

11.2Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1 above, the Holder may elect to waive any provision of this Note (other than any provision of Section 10 or this Section 11) solely as to the Holder and this Note specifically in a written instrument executed by the Holder; provided that any such waiver under this Section 11.2 shall not bind or otherwise affect the terms of any Other Note or any holder thereof.

12.Collateral. This Note, the other Notes and the Second Closing Notes are secured to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents).

13.Transfer. This Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the Holder upon notice to, but without the consent of, the Company.

14.1Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred in accordance with the terms of this Note, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14.4), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 14.4) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred.

14.2Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14.4) representing the outstanding Principal; provided that Holder shall be responsible for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Company in connection with the delivery of such new Note.

This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 14.4) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

14.4Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 14.1 or Section 14.3, the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest and Late Charges on the Repayment Principal Amount and Interest of this Note, from the Issuance Date.

15.Remedies, Characterizations, other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, redemption and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

16.Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) an Event of Default has occurred and this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

17.Construction; Headings. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the initial Holder and shall not be construed against any such Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Note. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Note instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to

sections of this Note. Terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the First Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.

18.Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

19.1Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Note, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefore. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (i) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, (ii) with respect to any grant, issuances, or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to all or substantially all of the holders of the Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates or (iii) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

19.2Currency. All dollar amounts referred to in this Note are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Note shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Note, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation (it being understood and agreed that where an amount is calculated with reference to, or over, a period of time, the date of calculation shall be the final date of such period of time).

19.3Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Note, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by a check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to such Person at such address as previously provided to the Company in writing (which address, in the case of each of the Purchasers, shall initially be as set forth on the Schedule of Investors attached to the Note Purchase Agreement); provided, that the Holder may elect to receive a payment of cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written notice setting out such request and the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. Any amount of Principal or other amounts due under the Transaction Documents which is not paid within three (3) Business Days after such amounts were due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Company in an amount equal to interest on such amount at the rate of fourteen percent (14.0%) per annum from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full (“Late Charge”); provided, however, that no Late Charge shall be charged as the result of Collateral Agent’s failure to apply funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve to the applicable payments of Interest.

20.Cancellation. After all Repayment Principal Amount, accrued Interest, Late Charges and other amounts at any time owed on this Note have been satisfied in full, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

21.Waiver of Notice. To the extent permitted by law and except as expressly set forth herein, the Company hereby irrevocably waives demand, notice, presentment, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note and the Note Purchase Agreement.

24.Severability. If any provision of this Note is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

25.Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, the Company so shall indicate to such Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates.

26.Usury. This Note is subject to the express condition that at no time shall the Company be obligated or required to pay interest hereunder at a rate or in an amount which could subject the Holder to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate or amount which the Company is permitted by applicable law to contract or agree to pay. If by the terms of this Note, the Company is at any time required or obligated to pay interest hereunder at a rate or in an amount in excess of such maximum rate or amount, the rate or amount of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate or amount and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate or be in such maximum amount and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum

To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5.2 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments.

Within five (5) Business Days of Company’s receipt of such opinion(s) of value, the Company shall identify one or more hotel properties, based on the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds to be realized from such Disposition or Refinancing, the anticipated length of time for marketing, negotiation and closing of any such Disposition or Refinancing, additional information regarding the credit markets for assets of such location, type and condition, and such other factors as the Company shall determine in the exercise of its good faith business judgment, for Disposition (each, a “Disposition Property”) or Refinancing of any Indebtedness secured thereby (each, a “Refinancing Property”, and any and all Disposition Properties collectively with any and all Refinancing Properties, the “Identified Properties”), each of which selection(s) shall be subject to Collateral Agent’s reasonable approval and all of which selection(s) shall be sufficient, as determined by such opinion(s) of value, to generate Net Cash Proceeds as the result of the Disposition or Refinancing thereof to eliminate the Liquidity Event or cure the Event of Default, as applicable, which shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.1(d) below; provided that Collateral Agent will be deemed to have acted reasonably in denying the selection of any of the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets as an Identified Property prior to the selection of other properties identified hereinabove, unless the disposition or refinance of such assets, individually or as part of a group of Identified Properties, is reasonably anticipated to result in sufficient Net Cash Proceeds to satisfy all obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Note and all of the other Transaction Documents, and, provided, further, that the Disposition(s) of any of the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets shall not occur prior to the Disposition(s) or Refinancing(s) of any other Identified Properties without the Collateral Agent’s approval in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall propose one or more Dispositions and/or Refinancings which collectively provide for reasonably anticipated Net Cash Proceeds sufficient to satisfy all obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Note and all of the other Transaction Documents, the final selection of the Identified Properties shall not require the Collateral Agent’s reasonable approval, provided, however, that the Disposition(s) of any

of the Philadelphia, Wilmington or Savannah hotel assets shall not occur prior to the Disposition(s) or Refinancing(s) of the other Identified Properties without the Collateral Agent’s approval in its sole discretion.

Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Equity Interests upon the liquidation or dissolution of Issuer shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Equity Interests or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Equity Interests pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it, subject to the terms hereof, as additional security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Equity Interests shall be received by Pledgor, Pledgor shall deliver the same to the Collateral Agent and, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of Pledgor, as additional security for the Obligations.

(b)Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, Pledgor shall not, directly or indirectly (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, Issuer to issue any additional limited liability company or partnership interests or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any membership or partnership interests, as applicable, in Issuer, or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Collateral, or (iii) create, incur, authorize or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral, or any interest therein, except for the Lien provided for by this Agreement. Pledgor shall defend the right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent in, to and under the Pledged Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

(c)At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of Pledgor, Pledgor shall promptly and duly give, execute, deliver file and/or record such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining, creating, perfecting, validating or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted including filing UCC financing or continuation statements, provided that the amount of the Obligations shall not be increased thereby; provided that no amendment or modification of the Issuer organizational documents shall at any time be

required. Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any such financing statement or continuation statement without the signature of Pledgor to the extent permitted by law.

Section 4.2Cash Dividends; Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all limited liability company or partnership interest distributions or cash dividends paid in the normal course of business of Issuer and to exercise all voting and limited liability company or partnership interests or other rights with respect to the Equity Interests, provided that no vote shall be cast or right exercised or other action taken which could reasonably be expected to impair the Pledged Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Transaction Documents.

Section 4.3Registration and Exercise of Rights. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) at the request of the Collateral Agent, Pledgor will permit any registrable Pledged Collateral owned by Pledgor to be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee and (b) Pledgor will permit the Collateral Agent or its nominee, without notice, to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral owned by Pledgor or any part thereof, and to receive all dividends and interest in respect of such Pledged Collateral.

(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)Those rights and remedies provided in any Transaction Document, provided that this clause (i) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent prior to an Event of Default.

(ii)Those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC or under any other applicable law when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.

(iii)Upon written notice to Pledgor, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

(iv)Upon written notice to Pledgor, transfer, exchange and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral (if any) for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof.

(b)The Collateral Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Pledged Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral.

(c)The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption Pledgor hereby expressly releases.

(d)Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Pledged Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Pledged Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Pledged Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Company, any other obligor, guarantor, Pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment and performance of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Pledged Collateral therefor, any other collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Pledged Collateral, any such other collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Pledged Collateral, any such other pledged collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral.

(a)Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all Equity Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit Pledgor to register such Pledged Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor would agree to do so.

(b)Pledgor further shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Equity Interests pursuant to this Section 5.2 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable Legal Requirements. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.2 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.2 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Note Purchase Agreement.

(c)The UCC states that the Collateral Agent is able to purchase the Equity Interests only if it is sold at a public sale. The Collateral Agent has advised Pledgor that SEC staff personnel have issued various No-Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Article 9 of the UCC, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The UCC permits Pledgor to agree on the standards for determining whether the Collateral Agent has complied with its obligations under Article 9. Pursuant to the UCC, Pledgor specifically agrees (i) that it shall not raise any objection to the Collateral Agent’s or any Investor’s purchase of the Equity Interests (through bidding on the Obligations or otherwise) and (ii) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in such No-Action Letters (A) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the UCC; (B) will be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent and the Investors have not registered or sought to register the Equity Interests under applicable securities laws, even if Pledgor agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (C) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent or any Investor(s) purchase the Pledged Collateral at such a sale.

(d)Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged Collateral sold by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may, among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. The Collateral Agent may determine to offer the Pledged Collateral only to Persons who are engaged in the same business as Issuer and who have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the Pledged Collateral in one sale. Without in any way limiting the Collateral Agent’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any commercially reasonable manner, Pledgor hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered commercially reasonable:

(i)Not more than thirty (30) days before, and not less than ten (10) days in advance of the sale, the Collateral Agent notifies Pledgor in writing at the address described in Section 6.13 of the time and place of such sale,

(ii)The sale is conducted by a nationally or regionally recognized real estate brokerage or auction firm, and

(iii)Such real estate brokerage or auction firm shall solicit bids for the offered Pledged Collateral from no less than three prospective purchasers who have sufficient financial resources to purchase the offered Pledged Collateral and are provided with at least fourteen (14) days to conduct due diligence on the offered Pledged Collateral and the Properties owned by the Issuer.

Section 5.3Pledgor’s Obligations Upon an Event of Default. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Pledgor will: (a) furnish to the Collateral Agent, or cause Issuer to furnish to the Collateral Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require and (b) take, or cause Issuer to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral.

Section 5.4Notice of Disposition of Pledged Collateral; Condition of Pledged Collateral. Collateral Agent shall provide notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition may be made and any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to Pledgor, addressed as set forth in Section 6.13, at least ten (10) days (but no more than thirty

(30) days) prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Pledged Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent. To the extent it may lawfully do so, Pledgor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Pledged Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Pledgor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Pledged Collateral.

Section 5.5Limitation on the Collateral Agent’s Duty with Respect to the Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to prepare the Pledged Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Pledged Collateral in its possession or under its control and in substantially the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent to (a) not incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Pledged Collateral for disposition, (b) not obtain third party consents for access to Pledged Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) advertise dispositions of Pledged Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Pledged Collateral is of a specialized nature, (d) contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Pledgor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Pledged Collateral, (e) hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Pledged Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) dispose of Pledged Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Pledged Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (g) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (h) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (i) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent and the Investors against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent and/or the Investors a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral, or (j) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral. Pledgor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 5.5 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Pledged Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 5.5. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall be construed to grant any rights to Pledgor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6Collateral Agent Performance of Pledgor’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may perform or pay any obligation which Pledgor has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and Pledgor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any reasonable amounts paid by the Collateral Agent

pursuant to this Section 5.6. Pledgor’s obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be an Obligation payable on demand.

Section 5.7Authorization for Collateral Agent to Take Certain Action. Pledgor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney in fact, coupled with an interest, (a) to execute on behalf of Pledgor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral, (b) to indorse and collect any cash Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral, (c) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Pledged Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral, (d) to apply the Proceeds of any Pledged Collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the Obligations and (e) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Pledged Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Transaction Document), and Pledgor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, provided that this authorization shall not relieve Pledgor of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees not to exercise the power of attorney granted under clauses (b), (d) and (e) of this Section 5.7 except after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 6.1Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any bankruptcy occur with respect to Pledgor, the Company and/or the Guarantor and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Section 6.2Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement), except that Pledgor shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the obligations under this Agreement or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder and any attempted assignment without consent will be null and void. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement in connection with any assignment of the Notes and the Transaction Documents, and any assignee or transferee shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

Section 6.3Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Pledgor under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the agreements and obligations of Pledgor contained in Sections 6.1, 6.4 and 6.12, and the representations and warranties of Pledgor contained in this

Agreement shall (a) survive until the Obligations have been paid in full and (b) be deemed to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Collateral Agent or on its behalf.

Section 6.4Taxes. Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by a federal or state authority in respect of this Agreement shall be paid by Pledgor, together with interest and penalties, if any.

In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 6.6, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to Pledgor, at Pledgor’s expense, all documents that Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release and shall perform such other actions reasonably requested by Pledgor to effect such release, including delivery of certificates, securities and instruments. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

Section 6.7Entire Agreement. This Agreement embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent relating to the Pledged Collateral and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent relating to the Pledged Collateral.

(a)THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

(b)EACH PLEDGOR IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN MEMPHIS, SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE, OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PLEDGOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c)EACH PLEDGOR AGREES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF THE NATURE REFERRED TO IN SECTION 6.8(B) BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND BINDING UPON IT SUBJECT TO RIGHTS OF APPEAL, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE STATE OF TENNESSEE (OR ANY OTHER COURTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF WHICH IT OR ANY OF ITS ASSETS IS OR MAY BE SUBJECT) BY A SUIT UPON SUCH JUDGMENT.

(d)EACH PLEDGOR CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF THE NATURE REFERRED TO IN SECTION 6.8(B) BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED, CERTIFIED, PRIORITY OR EXPRESS MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, RETURN RECEIPT OR DELIVERY CONFIRMATION REQUESTED, TO IT AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 6.13 OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE COLLATERAL AGENT SHALL THEN HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT TO SAID SECTION. EACH PLEDGOR AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE UPON RECEIPT (1) SHALL BE DEEMED IN EVERY RESPECT EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND (2) SHALL, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BE TAKEN AND HELD TO BE VALID PERSONAL SERVICE UPON AND PERSONAL DELIVERY TO IT. NOTICES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED RECEIVED AS EVIDENCED BY A DELIVERY RECEIPT FURNISHED BY THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE OR ANY REPUTABLE COMMERCIAL DELIVERY SERVICE.

(e)NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 6.8 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR LIMIT ANY RIGHT THAT THE COLLATERAL AGENT MAY HAVE TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST A PLEDGOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION OR TO ENFORCE IN ANY LAWFUL MANNER A JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN ONE JURISDICTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(f)THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY THE PARTIES HERETO AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. THE PARTIES HERETO ARE EACH HEREBY INDIVIDUALLY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.

Section 6.9Modifications. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by Pledgor or the Collateral Agent therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party or parties against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on, Pledgor shall entitle Pledgor to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy

or privilege hereunder, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to waive or reduce any time periods that the Collateral Agent is entitled to under this Agreement in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 6.10Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid pursuant to all Legal Requirements, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid pursuant to Legal Requirements, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.11Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of originals, including copies delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means, shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.

(a)Pledgor shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and auditors’ and accountants’ fees) paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Pledged Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Pledged Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by Pledgor in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by Pledgor.

(b)EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (OTHER THAN INTEREST, FEES AND OTHER AMOUNTS DUE AND PAYABLE UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ARISING OUT OF CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

This Board Observer Agreement, dated effective as of December 31, 2020 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Sotherly Hotels Inc., a Maryland corporation operating as a real estate investment trust (the “REIT”), and KWHP SOHO, LLC (the “Investor”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement (defined below).

WHEREAS, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Note Purchase Agreement by and among Sotherly Hotels LP, a Delaware limited partnership and the operating partnership of the REIT (the “Operating Partnership”), the REIT, the Investor, the other investors party thereto, and KWHP SOHO, LLC, as collateral agent, dated as of December 31, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Operating Partnership has agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor has agreed to purchase from the Operating Partnership, certain promissory notes (the “Notes”), and the REIT has agreed to guarantee all obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and other Transaction Documents, all as more particularly described in the respective Transaction Documents; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement and purchase the Notes, the REIT desires to provide the Investor with certain observation rights regarding the REIT’s board of directors (the “Board”) and committees thereof (“Committees”), as further described, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth, herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

(a)Beginning on the First Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and ending on the date on which all principal, interest and all other sums payable under the Notes held by the Investor and any of its Affiliates are paid and satisfied in full (the “Board Rights Termination Date” and such period from the date of this Agreement to the Board Rights Termination Date, the “Observation Period”), the REIT grants to the Investor the option and right, exercisable at any time during the Observation Period by delivering a written notice of such appointment to the REIT, to appoint a single representative (the “Observer”) to attend all meetings (including telephonic or videoconference meetings and meetings held in executive session) of the Board and all Committees during the Observation Period in a non-voting, observer capacity; provided, that (x) for the avoidance of doubt, Investor may designate more than one representative of Investor as an Observer but only one such representative shall be entitled to attend any particular meeting of the Board or Committee, and (y) any such representative shall have executed and delivered to the REIT a copy of the Acknowledgement and Agreement to be Bound in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Acknowledgement”). The Observer may participate fully in discussions of all matters brought to the Board or Committee, as the case may be, for consideration, but in no event shall the Observer (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board or any Committee; (ii) except for (and without limitation of) the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Acknowledgement, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the REIT or its stockholders; or (iii) have the right to propose or offer any motions or resolutions to the Board or Committees. Upon request, the REIT shall allow the Observer to attend Board or Committee meetings by

telephone or electronic communication. The presence of the Observer shall not be required for purposes of establishing a quorum.

(b)The REIT shall provide to the Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to Board members (collectively, “Board Materials”), including any draft versions, proposed written consents, and exhibits and annexes to any such materials, at the same time and in the same manner as such information is delivered to the Board members.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the REIT may exclude the Observer from access to any Board Materials, meeting or portion thereof if the Board concludes, acting in good faith, that (i) such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client or work product privilege between the REIT or its Affiliates and its counsel (provided, however, that any such exclusion shall only apply to such portion of such material or meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege); or (ii) such Board Materials or discussion relates to an existing or potential contractual relationship or transaction between the REIT or any of its Affiliates and the Investor or its Affiliates.

(d)From and after the Board Rights Termination Date, any rights of Investor and the Observer provided in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) shall cease.

(a)To the extent that any information obtained by the Observer from the REIT (or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof) is Confidential Information (as defined below), the Investor shall, and shall cause the Observer to, treat any such Confidential Information as confidential in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Section 2.

(b)As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all information or data concerning the REIT or its Affiliates, whether in verbal, visual, written, electronic or other form, which is disclosed to the Observer by the REIT or any director, officer, employee or agent of the REIT (including all Board Material that is non-public information), together with all information discerned from, based on or relating to any of the foregoing which may be prepared or created by the Observer, the Investor or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors (each, a “Representative”); provided, however, that “Confidential Information” shall not include information that:

(i)is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure of such information by the Investor, any of its Affiliates, any of their Representatives, or the Observer;

(ii)is independently developed by the Investor, any of its Affiliates, any of their Representatives, or the Observer without use of Confidential Information provided by the REIT or by any director, officer, employee or agent thereof;

(iii)becomes available to the recipient of such information at any time on a non-confidential basis from a third party that is not, to the recipient's knowledge, prohibited from disclosing such information to the Investor or any of its Affiliates, any of their respective Representatives, or the Observer by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the REIT; or

(iv)was known by the Investor, any of its Affiliates, or the Observer prior to receipt from the REIT or from any director, officer, employee or agent thereof.

(c)The Investor shall, and shall cause the Observer to, (i) retain all Confidential Information in strict confidence; (ii) not release or disclose Confidential Information in any manner to any other person (other than disclosures to the Investor, its Affiliates or to any of its or their Representatives who (A) have a need to know such information; and (B) are informed of its confidential nature); and (iii) use the Confidential Information solely in connection with the Investor’s and Observer’s rights hereunder and not for any other purpose; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent the Investor, its Affiliates, any of its or their Representatives or the Observer is compelled to disclose Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process, pursuant to the advice of its outside counsel, or by requirements of law; provided, further, however, that, if legally permissible, prior written notice of such disclosure shall be given to the REIT so that the REIT may take action, at its expense, to prevent such disclosure and any such disclosure is limited only to that portion of the Confidential Information which such person is compelled to disclose.

(d)The Investor, on behalf of itself and the Observer, acknowledges that the Confidential Information is proprietary to the REIT and may include trade secrets or other business information the disclosure of which could harm the REIT. None of the Investor, any of its Affiliates, their Representatives or the Observer shall, by virtue of the REIT's disclosure of, or such person's use of any Confidential Information, acquire any rights with respect thereto, all of which rights (including intellectual property rights) shall remain exclusively with the REIT. The Investor shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 2 by the Observer, any of its Affiliates, or its or their Representatives.

(e)The Investor agrees that, upon the request of the REIT following the Board Rights Termination Date, it will (and will cause the Observer, its Affiliates and its and their Representatives to) promptly (i) return or destroy all physical materials containing or consisting of Confidential Information and all hard copies thereof in their possession or control; and (ii) destroy all electronically stored Confidential Information in their possession or control; provided, however, that each of the Investor, its Affiliates, and its and their Representatives may retain any electronic or written copies of Confidential Information as may be (A) stored on its electronic records or storage system resulting from automated back-up systems; (B) required by law, other regulatory requirements, or internal document retention policies; or (C) contained in board presentations or minutes of board meetings of the Investor or its Affiliates; provided, further, however, that any such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to this Section 2.

3.Expenses. The REIT agrees to reimburse the Investor for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Observer’s attendance at Board and Committee meetings; provided, that all reimbursements payable by the REIT pursuant to this Section 3 shall be payable in accordance with and subject to the REIT’s policies and practices with respect to director expense reimbursement then in effect.

(a)Notices. All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given as provided in Section 9.4 of the Purchase Agreement.

(b)Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties regarding the matters set out in this Agreement.

(c)Modification. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived, except in a writing signed by the parties hereto.

(d)Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but will not be assignable or delegable by any party without the prior written consent of the other party.

(e)Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision, and if any restriction in this Agreement is found by a court to be unreasonable or unenforceable, then such court may amend or modify the restriction so it can be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f)Headings. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

(g)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by electronic signature in any number of counterparts, each of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(h)No Waiver. Any waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist on strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive such party of the right to thereafter insist on strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

(i)Remedies. The REIT, on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand, each acknowledge and agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by it and that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach hereof, (i) the non-breaching party shall have the right to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without proof of actual damages; (ii) the breaching party will not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; and (iii) the breaching party agrees to waive any applicable right or requirement that a bond be posted by the non-breaching party. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies that may be available to the non-breaching party at law or in equity.

(j)Applicable Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and the agreements, instruments, and documents contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any applicable principles of conflicts of law that might require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the actions contemplated hereby, each party: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in accordance with the preceding clause (i), (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (iv) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party, and (v) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if such process is given as a notice in accordance with Section 4(a) of this Agreement. The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

(k)Survival. The provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4(i) and 4(j) will survive termination of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Board Observer Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first indicated above.
