	Lipner, David B. (Assoc-PHIL-RE) From: Sent: To: Cc: Robins, Jon S. (Shld-PHIL-RE) Sunday, October 3, 2021 7:00 PM John Faris; Lipner, David B. (Assoc-PHIL-RE); Bruce Lowrey; Justin Perry; Nicholas Meli; Lipner, David B.

(Shld-PHIL-RE); Linzey Erickson; David Durell; 'Norman Leslie' Northbrook - Offering Document Review Period Subject: Good Sunday Evening John and Linzey, The Offering Review Period under Section 2.14.2 of the Contribution Agreement expires tomorrow. There are a handful of points under the LPA that Contributor would like to see addressed to move forward. Some of these will not be new as we raised at least the concepts during our earlier negotiations of the contribution agreement and a lot of these are simply to conform LPA to our deal. We would like to sign up a side letter to the LPA addressing the following: 1. Confirm that no sales commission applies to the issuance of Common Limited Units or the Series T Limited Units being issued to Contributor or shall apply to the conversion of any of the Series T Limited Units. 2. Agree that some or all of the Contributor’s interest may be transferred to HDDA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is an affiliate of the Contributor without GP consent. This would be an additional permitted transfer under section 10.1.3 of the LPA. 3. Agree that the Series T value will be determined based on Exhibit D to the contribution agreement which shall control over the definition in the LPA. 4. Agree that the right of Contributor to extent the Series T conversion timeline by 12 months under Exhibit D to the Contribution Agreement shall control over Section 4.13.3 of the LPA. 5. Agree that the provisions of the Contribution Agreement, including Exhibit D, shall govern distributions and control over inconsistent provisions of the LPA (e.g., Section 6.4). We would also like an additional 10 days to complete our tax review of the LPA. Our thought is to effectively extend the Offering Review Period by 10 days to negotiate a side letter documenting 1 – 5 and to address any tax matters, if any, raised during that period. We would also like to schedule a weekly status call for this transaction. Formerly those calls were on Wednesday afternoons. That is a good time for GT. Let us know times that work for Lodging Fund and we do need to confirm with Access Point. The foregoing remains subject to Access Points review. Regards, 1
