As soon as practical, but in any case no later than three (3) days of the execution of this Agreement by both parties, FPI will provide, to the extent that such documentation is in FPI’ s or a Seller’s possession or within their reasonable control, true, correct, and

For the Property Loans Buyer wishes to assume, FPI shall cooperate, or require Sellers to cooperate, at Buyer’s expense, in the assignment and assumption of each applicable Property Loan to be effective upon the applicable Closing, and the then outstanding balance of any Property Loan so assumed as of the Closing Date shall be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price for that applicable Property.

This Note is one of a series of Notes issued pursuant to that certain Master Real Estate Purchase Agreement between the Company and Holder or its Affiliate, dated January [--], 2021. This Note is convertible into Membership Interests that are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Amended & Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement dated December 29, 2020 (the Operating Agreement), and capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Operating Agreement.

1.Payment. All payments will be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office of the Company, or at such other place as the Holder may from time to time designate in writing to the Company. Payment will be credited first to accrued interest due and payable, with any remainder applied to principal. Prepayment of principal, together with accrued interest, may be paid upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Holder, provided that Holder does not convert during such time period.

2.Security. This Note is a general unsecured obligation of the Company.

3.Priority. This Note is subordinated in right of payment to all current and future indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money (whether or not such indebtedness is secured) to banks, commercial finance lenders or other institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money (the “Senior Debt). The Company hereby agrees, and by accepting this Note, the Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees, that so long as any Senior Debt is outstanding, upon notice from the holders of such Senior Debt (the Senior Creditors) to the Company that an event of default, or any event which the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an event of default, has occurred under the terms of the Senior Debt (a Default Notice), the Company will not make, and the Holder will not receive or retain, any payment under this Note. Nothing in this paragraph will preclude or prohibit the Holder from receiving and retaining any payment hereunder unless and until the Holder has received a Default Notice (which will


be effective until waived in writing by the Senior Creditors) or from converting this Note or any amounts due hereunder into Membership Interests.

4.Conversion of the Notes. This Note and any amounts due hereunder may be converted into Membership Interests at the option of the Holder at any time on or before December 31, 2021, by providing written notice to the Company of such election. All amounts converted under this Note shall be treated as Additional Capital Contributions under Section 3.02 of the Operating Agreement, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement.

5.Note Holder Rights. For so long as this Note remains outstanding, the Holder shall have any and all rights given to the Minority Member under the Operating Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Company actions that are set forth on Exhibit A.

6.Amendments and Waivers; Resolutions of Dispute; Notice. The amendment or waiver of any term of this Note, the resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Note and the provision of notice among the Company and the Holder will be governed by the terms of the Operating Agreement.

7.Successors and Assigns. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Company may not assign its obligations under this Note without the written consent of the Company. Any transfer of this Note may be effected only pursuant to the Operating Agreement and by surrender of this Note to the Company and reissuance of a new note to the transferee. The Holder and any subsequent holder of this Note receives this Note subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, and agrees to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions for the benefit of the Company.

8.Choice of Law. This Note, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Note, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.
