Agreement

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows.

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A. The preliminary statements above are hereby acknowledged and agreed to by the Parties and incorporated into this Note.

2. Due on Demand.

2.1 Payment upon Demand. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Lender or its assignees, the principal sum of four hundred eighty five thousand U.S. dollars ($485,000), or such larger or smaller amount from time to time outstanding hereunder, together with all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due hereunder (the “Loan”), ON DEMAND, as provided in this Note; provided, that unless a Default has occurred, Lender shall voluntarily refrain from making such demand prior to the date of the Resolution Funding (the “Resolution Funding Date”); provided, further, that Lender’s so voluntarily refraining shall not be construed to qualify, define, or otherwise limit Lender’s right, power, or ability, at any time and for any reason, under applicable Law, to require full payment of the Loan, all Additional Principal Amounts, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under this Note ON DEMAND.

2.2 Additional Principal Amounts. From and after the Effective Date, (a) if Borrower fails to make payment of any Retainer Payment when due, in addition to all other rights of Lender hereunder and under applicable Law, the amount of each such unpaid Retainer Payment shall automatically be added to the principal amount of the Loan hereof and (b) if Borrower has not paid the Loan and all then-outstanding Additional Principal Amounts in whole as of the Resolution Funding Date, an amount equal to (x) ten percent (10%) of the sum of (i) the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note, including the Loan and all then-outstanding Additional Principal Amounts and (ii) all accrued interest thereon plus (y) Lender’s five percent (5%) portion of the total aggregate Resolution Funding Payment shall automatically be added to the principal balance hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, as an example and to provide clarity with respect to this sub-clause (y), if Borrower receives $100,000,000 in Resolution Funding Payment, the principal balance of this Note shall automatically and without any further action on the part of any party be increased by $5,000,000 (i.e., Lender’s 5% portion of the total aggregate Resolution Funding Payment). Each amount added to the principal of the Note pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be referred to as an “Additional Principal Amount.”

2.3 Optional Prepayment; Best Efforts; Lender’s Rights to Demand Payment. Notwithstanding any terms in this Note to the contrary:

(a) Borrower may prepay the Loan and/or all Additional Principal Amounts, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time without penalty or premium, prior to receipt of demand from the Lender, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon (subject to the provisions of Section 4.6) to the date of prepayment (each such payment a “Voluntary Payment”);

(b) Borrower shall use best efforts to pay all amounts due under this Note, during the period between the Resolution Progress Funding Date and the Resolution Funding Date; and

(c) the enumeration in this Note of specific obligations of Borrower to Lender and/or conditions to the repayment of funds under this Note shall not be construed to qualify, define, or otherwise limit Lender’s right, power, or ability, at any time and for any reason, under applicable Law, to require full payment of the Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under this Note, including but not limited to, Additional Principal Amount, ON DEMAND.

2.4 Effective Date Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall make mandatory prepayments of the Loan in the following amounts and at the following times:

Amount	Date of Mandatory Prepayment(each, a “Prepayment Trigger”)
$1,000.00 (one thousand dollars)	Effective Date
$50,000.00 (fifty thousand dollars)	The date on which the judge presiding over the Lawsuit issues a ruling or decision in which the Lawsuit survives a motion to dismiss
$50,000 (fifty thousand dollars)	The date on which discovery closes with respect to the Lawsuit
$100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars)	The date on which the judge presiding over the Lawsuit issues a ruling or decision in which the Lawsuit survives a motion for summary judgment on the claims

Each such payment shall be due on the date of each applicable Prepayment Trigger and shall be paid to Lender on or within five (5) Business Days of the applicable Prepayment Trigger and all such payments shall be made in accordance with Section 3. These good faith payments represent evidence by Borrower that it is Borrower’s intention to pay down the balance of this Note in an expedite manner.

3. Payments. Payments made under this Note shall be in accordance with the following:

3.1 Manner of Payments. All payments of interest, principal, and all other amounts shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Lender’s account at a bank specified by Lender in writing to Borrower from time to time.

3.2 Application of Payments. All payments made hereunder, including insufficient payments, shall be credited, regardless of their designation by Borrower, first to collection expenses due hereunder, then to outstanding late charges, then to interest due and payable but not yet paid, then to any outstanding principal that is an Additional Principal Amount, and the remainder, if any, to outstanding principal that is the Loan.

3.3 Business Day Convention. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension will be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note.

3.4 Evidence of Debt. Lender is authorized to record on the grid attached hereto as Exhibit B the Loan, each Additional Principal Amount, and each payment or prepayment thereof. The entries made by Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to record such payments or prepayments, or any inaccuracy therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the entirety of the principal amount hereunder (including the Loan and any Additional Principal Amounts) and all other amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Note.

4. Interest. Interest under this Note shall be as follows:

4.1 Interest Rate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the unpaid principal amount of this Note (including the Loan and all Additional Principal Amounts) outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate from the Effective Date (and, in the case of each Additional Principal Amount, the date such Additional Principal Amount is added to the principal) until the date on which the principal balance of this Note is paid in full, whether on demand, by prepayment, or otherwise.

4.2 Default Interest. If any amount payable hereunder is not paid promptly upon, and in any event within one (1) Business Day following, demand (without regard to any applicable grace periods), such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full.

4.3 Interest Payable. Interest, at the Applicable Rate or the Default Rate, as applicable, shall be payable ON DEMAND. Borrower may make whole or partial interest payments at any time prior to demand, without penalty and without affecting any other provisions of this Note.

4.4 Computation of Interest. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on the Loan from the Effective Date, and on each Additional Principal Amount from the date such Additional Principal Amount is added pursuant to Section 2.2, and shall not accrue on the Loan or any Additional Principal Amount for the day on which it is paid.

4.5 Interest Rate Limitation. If, at any time and for any reason whatsoever, the interest rate payable on the Loan or any Additional Principal Amount shall exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by Lender to Borrower under applicable Law, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable Law shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal.

4.6 Forgiveness of Interest upon Voluntary Payments. To further incentivize Borrower to make Voluntary Payments of principal amounts under this Note, the Parties agree that (a) any amounts received by Lender in respect of each Voluntary Payment shall be applied in full to the principal balance of this Note, first to any Additional Principal Amount and then to the Loan and (b) the amount of interest accrued on this Note pursuant to Section 4.1 in respect of the principal amounts repaid by each such Voluntary Payment shall be forgiven in full and the amount thereof deemed paid in full on the date of receipt of such Voluntary Payment.

5. Security Agreement; Seniority. The Borrower’s performance of its obligations hereunder is secured by a security interest in the collateral specified in the Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Lender’s rights hereunder are pari passu with the rights of GSRN 1612-512 LLC (“GSRN”) pursuant to that (i) Prepaid Forward Purchase Agreement dated as of December __, 2017 by and between GSRN and Borrower and (ii) Security Agreement dated as of December __, 2017 by and between GSRN and Borrower (the “GSRN Security Agreement”), as memorialized in that certain Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the Effective Date by and among the Lender, GSRN, and Borrower.
