D.The Borrower Parties have requested, and Lender has agreed, to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and/or applicable law with respect to the prospective defaults, prospective Event of Default and Events of Defaults set forth on Annex I (all of the foregoing, including any cross-defaults resulting therefrom, collectively, the “Forbearance Defaults”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

E.Reference is hereby also made to the term sheets attached as Exhibits A and B (the “Term Sheets”) which describe, in summary form, transactions (collectively, the “Strategic Transaction”) that the Borrower Parties and their affiliates are willing to consummate.

NOW THEREFOR, in consideration of the promises set forth above and the covenants and agreements hereafter set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by all parties, it is agreed as follows:

1.Incorporation of Recitals. The Parties hereby represent and acknowledge that the foregoing recitals are true and accurate, and said foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated herein as part of this Agreement as though set forth at length herein.

2.Forbearance. Notwithstanding the Forbearance Defaults, and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lender agrees that, until the expiration or earlier termination of the Forbearance Period (as defined below), Lender will forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and/or applicable law solely with respect to the Forbearance Defaults; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect the exercise of Lender’s rights under this Agreement; and provided, further, that no such forbearance shall constitute a waiver with respect to the Forbearance Defaults (other than as set forth in the following sentence) and during the Forbearance Period, Lender shall be entitled (but not obligated, except to the extent that Borrower requests such protective advances and Lender approves the same (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) to make one or more protective advances under the Project Loan Agreement in the amount of $368,011.25 for the amounts listed on Exhibit D, and marketing expenses, operating expenses and Impositions to be paid for by Borrower that are not funded from collections of common charges, each approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion (the “Protective Advances”), which Protective Advances shall, notwithstanding the Contract Rate under the Loan Agreement, accrue interest at a per annum rate of Term SOFR plus eleven percent (11%) calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days in the applicable period for which interest is being calculated.  Borrower hereby requests that Lender make on the date hereof a Protective Advance to reimburse Lender for the costs and expenses shown on Exhibit D attached hereto and Lender agrees to make such Protective Advance. This Agreement to forbear from exercise of such remedies shall expire automatically without any further action by Lender and be completely null and void upon the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or against any Borrower Party or upon the occurrence of any Forbearance Agreement Default (as defined below).  Upon the occurrence of any such bankruptcy or Forbearance Agreement Default, Lender may immediately exercise and pursue any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it at law or in equity.  During the Forbearance Period, Lender shall be entitled to exercise all non-default rights under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, this Agreement shall only constitute an agreement by Lender to forbear from enforcing its respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents solely with respect to the

Forbearance Defaults.  As used in this Agreement, “Forbearance Agreement Default” shall mean: (1) any breach or default by any Borrower Party under this Agreement; or (2) any Event of Default occurs or has occurred under the Loan Documents, other than the Forbearance Defaults.  During the Forbearance Period, Lender shall continue to make Loan Advances subject to and upon the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (other than the condition that Forbearance Defaults shall not exist, which Forbearance Defaults shall be deemed waived solely for purposes of the conditions to such Loan Advances).

3.Forbearance Period. The “Forbearance Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Forbearance Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (a) a Termination Event and (b) November 15, 2023.  In no event shall the Forbearance Period be extended except in writing by Lender, which Lender is under no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Forbearance Period shall immediately terminate upon (i) November 15, 2023, (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Forbearance Defaults, (iii) the failure of Borrower to satisfy the conditions to forbearance as set forth in this Agreement, time being of the essence with respect to such satisfaction, including the conditions set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, (iv) the failure of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower Parties in Section 7 of this Agreement to be true and correct in all material respects, (v) termination of the Forbearance Period (as defined in that certain Forbearance Agreement, by and among Mezzanine Borrower, Additional Pledgor, Indemnitor, Mezzanine Lender and Mezzanine Administrative Agent) (the “Mezzanine Loan Forbearance Agreement”), (vi) the commencement of any enforcement action, including a UCC public auction or UCC strict foreclosure by the Mezzanine Lender or a comparable exercise of remedy under the Mezzanine Loan Agreement or other Loan Document (as defined in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement) which would cause the transfer of the Collateral (as defined in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement), (vii) Conversant Capital LLC (“Conversant”) states in writing that it is no longer pursuing a transaction with Indemnitor on substantially similar terms (with such revisions as are reasonably acceptable to Lender) to those outlined in the executed term sheet dated August 24, 2023, and is not replaced by a third party that is pursuing a substantially similar transaction (with such revisions as are reasonably acceptable to Lender) within thirty (30) days after such termination or (viii) TPHS Lender LLC and TPHS Lender II LLC (collectively, “DKCM”) states in writing that it is no longer pursuing a transaction with Indemnitor on substantially similar terms (with such revisions as are reasonably acceptable to Lender) to those outlined in the executed term sheet dated August 24, 2023, and is not replaced by a third party that is pursuing a substantially similar transaction (with such revisions as are reasonably acceptable to Lender) within thirty (30) days after such termination  (each referred to herein individually and collectively as a “Termination Event”). Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Forbearance Period as a result of the occurrence of a Termination Event, Lender may pursue and/or commence any legal or other action to enforce and collect any or all of the Borrower Parties’ obligations under the Loan Documents, which shall include, without limitation, the right to collect interest at the Default Rate on a retroactive basis from and including the date any Forbearance Default occurred.
