is the current holder of all of Original Lender’s interest in the Loan.


 


C.           As

are required to deposit with Lender a sum sufficient for the payment and performance of certain Approved Future PIP Expenses and
PIP Work (each term as defined in the Loan Agreement) to be incurred by Borrowers in the 24-month period immediately following
the date hereof for the properties identified on the Future PIP Budget (as defined below) (the aggregate deposits made for such

Deposit”).


 


D.           As

has agreed to guarantee an amount equal to the difference of (i) the Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit less (ii) an amount equal
to the sum of (x) the Initial Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and
(y) to the extent actually received by Lender, any Additional Future PIP Reserve Account Deposits (the “Guaranteed
Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit”).

an amount equal to any Available FF&E Credit (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to be used for costs identified on the Future

is an owner of a direct or indirect interest in the Borrowers, and Guarantor will directly benefit from Lender’s consent
to the Assumption of the Loan by Borrowers.


 


AGREEMENT


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, to induce Lender to consent to the Assumption of the Loan by Borrowers and in consideration of the foregoing premises
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby
covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lender, as follows:


 


1.           Nature and Scope of Guaranteed Obligations.


 


(a)          Guarantor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below) as and
when the same shall be due and payable. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable
for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.


 


(b)          As
used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means the payment of all amounts constituting the Guaranteed
Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit from time to time. The Guaranteed Obligations shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Available
FF&E Credit to be used for costs identified on the Future PIP Budget.


 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit
as of the date hereof is anticipated to be equal to approximately $102,496,000.00, and that such amount may increase or decrease
as Approved Future PIP Expenses are finalized and PIP Work is completed for the properties identified on the Future PIP Budget.
Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranteed Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit shall be adjusted to account
for any increase or decrease in the Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit for the properties identified on the Future PIP Budget,
and changes resulting from the finalization of Approved Future PIP Expenses and PIP Work anticipated with respect to the property
located at 250 Johnny Dodds Boulevard, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464, commonly known as the Holiday Inn Charleston Mt. Pleasant
(the “Holiday Inn Charleston PIP”), which expenses and costs shall be finalized within ninety (90)
days of the date hereof. Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that Guarantor shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered,
to Lender a revised budget reflecting any changes in the Approved Future PIP Expenses and PIP Work for which the Future PIP Reserve
Account Deposit is required, including, but not limited to, a revised budget to account for the Holiday Inn Charleston PIP. Guarantor
hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s consent to the delivery of this Agreement as security for a portion of the
Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit shall not be deemed to be Lender’s consent or agreement to accept a payment guaranty
for any other Reserve Funds (as defined in the Loan Agreement) required to be deposited on or after the date hereof by Borrowers,
or any other party, with Lender or Deposit Bank (as defined in the Loan Agreement) under the terms of the Loan Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents.

(c)          This
Agreement is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment not a guaranty of collection. This Agreement may not be
revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any
attempted revocation by Guarantor.


 


(d)          Upon
the earlier of (x) the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, (y) Borrowers’ failure to make Additional Future
PIP Reserve Account Deposits as set forth on Schedule II, or (z) Borrower’s failure to pay, or cause to be
paid, any Approved Future PIP Expenses or costs for any PIP Work identified on the Future PIP Budget, Guarantor shall, immediately
upon demand by Lender, pay the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein
or as otherwise instructed by Lender.


 


(e)          Lender
shall not be required (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder, first (i) to institute suit or otherwise exhaust its remedies against Borrowers or any other Persons (as defined in
the Loan Agreement) liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, or against any other Person, (ii) to enforce Lender’s
rights against any collateral given to secure the Loan, (iii) to enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of
the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, (iv) to join any of the Borrowers or any other Persons liable on the Guaranteed Obligations,
if any, in any action seeking to enforce this Agreement, (v) to exhaust any available remedies against any collateral given to
secure the Loan, or (vi) to resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.


 


2.          Release
of Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor shall be released from the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations under
this Agreement upon the earlier to occur of the following: (i) Borrower has deposited or caused to be deposited into the Future
PIP Reserve Account, including, without limitation, through the Initial Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit and any Additional
Future PIP Reserve Account Deposits, amounts equal to the full amount of the Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit, acknowledging
that the aggregate amount of such funds may not then be held in the Future PIP Reserve Account as the result of (a) such portions
of the Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit and any Additional Future PIP Reserve Account Deposits that may have been deposited
into the Future PIP Reserve Account and have been disbursed from such account in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in Section 6.6 of the Loan Agreement, and (b) the application of any Available FF&E Credit towards the cost of the PIP
Work and Approved Future PIP Expenses for which the Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit is required, (ii) Borrower has completed
all PIP Work and paid all Approved Future PIP Expenses for which the Future PIP Reserve Account Deposit is required in accordance
with the Loan Documents and the applicable Franchise Agreements, or (iii) the payment of the Loan in full. Upon the satisfaction
of any condition above, upon the receipt by Lender of a request from Borrower, Lender shall confirm in writing the release of
Guarantor from the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations under this Agreement.


 


3.          Indemnity.
Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all actual loss, cost, liability or expense in any way suffered,
incurred or paid by Lender as a result of, or in any way arising from, Borrowers’ failure to perform the Guaranteed Obligations,

including
all actual out of pocket costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred
by Lender to enforce this Agreement.


 


4.          Reinstatement
of Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by Guarantor or received by Lender from Guarantor under
or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to,
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Guarantor or any of the Borrowers), then the obligations of Guarantor hereunder
shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous
payment made by Guarantor, or receipt of payment by Lender, and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by Guarantor which was rescinded
or returned had never been made.


 


5.          Waivers
by Guarantor. To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of:


 


(a)          Any
right to require Lender to proceed against Borrowers or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by
Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power or under any other agreement before proceeding against
Guarantor hereunder;


 


(b)          Any
defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the

other person or persons;


 


(c)          Demand,
presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and all other notices of any kind, or the lack of any
thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new
or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrowers, Lender, any endorser or creditor
of any of the Borrowers or of Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection
with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Lender;


 


(d)          Any
defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender;


 


(e)          Any
right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Guarantor;


 


(f)          Any
principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement;


 


(g)          Any
duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Guarantor any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrowers or the Properties,
regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor
intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate
such facts to Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of

of the condition of the Properties and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by any
Guarantor hereunder;


 


(h)          Any

(i)          Any

any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed or indemnified
against;


 


(l)          An

proceeding of any of the Borrowers) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law,
case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate
or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether
now or hereafter required, which Lender may have against Guarantor or the collateral for the Loan;

(b)          Unsecured

the unsecured personal liability undertaken by Guarantor herein.
Guarantor further hereby acknowledges that the obligations of Guarantor
under this Agreement are not secured by the lien of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents,
it being the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Guarantor hereunder which
can be enforced against Guarantor without regard to the existence of the Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein.

days after request by Lender, such other financial information with respect to Guarantor as Lender may reasonably request.

any one or more of the Loan Documents; or (ix) with respect to Lender the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever.
