NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and conditions set forth below and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Recitals; Representations; Reaffirmation of Loan. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference. As of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 6 below), each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders that, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and to Borrower's knowledge, no condition has occurred and is continuing that, with notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default. Each Borrower hereby reaffirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents and relating to any Swap Contracts, and acknowledges that it has no claims, offsets or defenses with respect to the payment of sums due under the Loan Agreement, the Notes or under any Swap Contracts. Without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower reaffirms Agent's right, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to apply any and all payments made by Borrower or otherwise received by Agent or the Lenders with respect to the Loan and any Swap Contracts between a Borrower and any one or more Lenders, including without limitation all proceeds received from the sale or liquidation of any collateral, to the obligations owing by Borrower under the Loan Documents and Swap Contracts in such order and manner deemed appropriate by Agent in Agent's sole discretion (subject to any consent rights of the Lenders set forth in Section 1.14 of the Loan Agreement), and each Borrower acknowledges that it shall have no right to direct Agent as to such application or designate the portion of the obligation to be satisfied.
2.    Amendment to Loan Documents. In addition to any other amendments provided for herein, the Loan Documents are hereby modified, as follows (which modifications shall be effective as of the Effective Date, as defined below):

3



First Modification: Shall mean that First Modification Agreement (Long Form) dated as of June 19, 2015 by and between Borrowers, Agent and Lenders.
LIBOR Rate: An annual rate of interest equal to the Applicable Margin plus the greater of (i) LIBOR and (ii) zero percent (0%). Agent's internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error.
Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate: Shall mean an annual rate of interest equal to the Applicable Margin plus the greater of (i) zero percent (0%) and (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate quoted by Agent from Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or any successor thereto, which shall be that one-month LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to the beginning of each calendar month, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation, such rate to be reset at the beginning of each succeeding month. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if on any date for determining the one-month LIBOR rate, Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) that (a) because of circumstances affecting the Money Markets, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the one-month LIBOR rate, or (b) it is unlawful to maintain any advance of the Loan at a rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, Agent shall promptly give to Borrower telephonic notice (confirmed as soon as practicable in writing) of the nature and effect of such circumstances and/or illegality. After receipt of such notice and during the existence of such circumstances and/or illegality, the interest rate shall be determined based upon an alternate index selected by Agent, in its sole discretion, reasonably comparable to that of one-month LIBOR, intended to generate a return substantially the same as that generated by the one-month LIBOR rate, and all references in the Loan Documents to the one-month LIBOR rate shall be deemed to be references to such alternate rate while such rate is in effect."

Borrowing Base Loan Constant: Shall mean the greater of (i) a loan constant of 0.0778 (which is based on an interest rate of six and three-

5



quarters percent (6.75%) per annum and principal amortization based on a 30-year amortization schedule), and (ii) a loan constant, expressed as a decimal, based on an interest rate of two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) per annum in excess of the Treasury Note Rate as of the date of calculation, and principal amortization based on a 30-year amortization schedule, as reasonably determined by Agent.

(e)Required Minimum Funded Amount. Section 5.28 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"5.28    Required Minimum Funded Amount. The outstanding Principal Balance shall at all times be at least equal to fifty percent (50%) of the then Committed Amount. However, should at any time the Principal Balance be less than fifty percent (50%) of the then applicable Committed Amount, Borrowers may, at Borrower's option, within thirty (30) days of written demand by Agent, either (i) permanently cancel any unfunded portions of the Committed Amount or (ii) make a draw under the Loan (to the extent Borrowers have satisfied the requirements hereunder for such draw), in order to satisfy this requirement; provided further, however, the Borrowers shall be required, within ten (10) days of written demand by Agent, to pay down the outstanding Principal Balance to the extent that it

As used herein, the term "including" means "including, but not limited to," and the term "include(s)" means "include(s), without limitation." This Agreement has been drafted by all the parties hereto collectively. Therefore, each party to this Agreement agrees that any statute or rule of construction providing that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

This Agreement, the rights of the parties hereunder and the interpretation hereof shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California in all respects.

(c)    Agent acknowledges that Borrower has advised Agent that:
(1)
although Borrower is acquiring the Property subject to the terms and conditions of the Development Agreements, in connection with Borrower’s acquisition of the Property Borrower will not currently be receiving  an assignment of, nor will Borrower be assuming, any of the rights and/or obligations under, the Development Agreements, including without limitation, the right to receive payment of any amounts that may now, or may hereafter, be payable under the Development Agreements, and
(2)
following the acquisition of the Property by Borrower, Borrower and the party (the “Seller”)  from whom Borrower purchased the Property will be working together to amend and modify, and/or entirely replace (the “TDD Modifications”), the terms of the Development Agreements to allow Borrower to be entitled to certain payments under the TDD Development Agreement and to allow the Seller to be entitled to certain payments under the Transient Guest Tax Development Agreement.
Agent agrees that Borrower shall have the right from time to time to enter into the TDD Modifications, subject to Agent’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided it can be conditioned upon receipt of a collateral assignment (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower and which shall expressly provide (A) that Borrower is not assigning to Agent the approximate $300,000 of the “pay-as-you-go” payments remaining to be paid under the terms of the TDD Development Agreement, which “pay-as-you-go” payments are to be remitted to the Seller, (B) such rights are being assigned only to the extent the same are assignable and without any representations or warranties that such rights are assignable, and (C) the failure of any such assignment to be enforceable shall not constitute a default under the Loan Documents) of any rights that Borrower may have under the TDD Development Agreement and the TDD Modification relating to the TDD Development Agreement), provided, that such collateral assignment shall only be made to the extent not a breach of Borrower’s contractual obligations under the TDD Development Agreement), and that, upon ten (10) days prior written request from Borrower to Agent, subject to receipt of the assignment required by Agent and reasonably approved by Borrower, Agent shall execute and join in (to the extent necessary or advisable to effectuate any such amendment, modification or termination) on any amendment and/or modification to the Development Agreements, any

15



termination of the Development Agreements and/or any execution of new replacement Development Agreements, and other documentation relating to the TDD Modifications from time to time, in order to, among other things, memorialize Seller’s rights under the Development Agreements and to memorialize Borrower’s rights under the Development Agreements, provided that no such TDD Modifications shall impair Agent’s rights under the Loan documents or the collateral secured by the Loan documents in any material and adverse respect. To the extent Borrower (i) has or obtains at any time any rights under the Transient Guest Tax Development Agreement that are intended to be retained by Borrower (and not to be transferred to Seller), and (ii) Borrower reasonably determines there is material value to such rights, Borrower shall give written notice of same to Agent, and at Agent’s request, shall provide a collateral assignment of such Transient Guest Tax Development Agreement on the same terms and conditions as set forth above for the TDD Development Agreement.
9.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in one or more separate counterparts, and counterpart original signature pages may be assembled into one original document.
10.    Integration. The Loan Documents, including this Agreement; (a) integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned in or incidental to the Loan Documents; (b) supersede all oral negotiations and prior and other writings with respect to their subject matter; and (c) are intended by the parties as the final expression of the agreement with respect to the terms and conditions set forth in those documents and as the complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by the parties.
