2. MATURITY DATE.
The entire principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, and any and all other
amounts payable by Maker under this Note, shall be fully and immediately due and payable by Maker within ten (10) business days
after the date that Maker or its parent corporation, American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust, Inc., has raised common equity
in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than One Hundred Fifty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000,000.00) (such date, the

Trigger Date) and (ii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of this Note (the earlier of such two dates, the “Maturity
Date”).


 


3. INTEREST RATE.
Commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the Maturity Date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance
of this Note at a rate of interest equal to 6.8% (the “Interest Rate”), compounded annually.


 


4. INTEREST AND
FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/365). Interest and fees, if any, shall be computed, payable and allocated on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.


 


5. MONTHLY PAYMENTS.
Subject to the remainder of this Section 5, interest shall be paid by Maker to BCC monthly, in arrears, beginning on April

6. PREPAYMENT TERMS.
Maker may pay the principal amount outstanding under this Note, in whole or in part, together with any accrued and unpaid interest

7. METHOD AND APPLICATION

BCC from any source for application toward payment of the Obligations shall be applied first, to cost of enforcement (as set forth
in Section 11 of this Note), second, to accrued interest, and third, to principal. If any payment received by BCC under
this Note is rescinded, avoided, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or for any reason returned
by BCC (or repaid by BCC) because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned or repaid payment shall remain payable
as an Obligation under this Note as though such payment had not been made. Remittances shall be made without offset, demand, counterclaim,
deduction, or recoupment (each of which is hereby waived) and shall be accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft
may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by BCC of any payment
in an amount less than the amount then due pursuant to this Note shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, notwithstanding
any notation on or accompanying such partial payment to the contrary, and shall not in any way (a) waive, impair or extinguish
any right or remedy available to BCC hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement, or (b) waive the requirement of punctual payment
and performance or constitute a novation in any respect. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. EDT shall be deemed to be received on,
and shall be posted as of, the following business day. Whenever any payment under this Note falls due on a day which is not a business
day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding business day.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
Each of the following shall constitute an event of default by Maker under this Note (each, an “Event of Default”)


 


  a. Failure to make any Monthly Payment
or other payment due hereunder within two (2) days after written notice from BCC that such failure has occurred; and


 


  b. Failure to comply
with any covenant or obligation set forth in this Note, not otherwise provided for in Section 8(a) within ten (10) days
after written notice from BCC that such failure has occurred.


 


9. REMEDIES;
DEFAULT INTEREST RATE. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, BCC may take such action at law or equity, without
notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights hereunder, including, but not limited to, declaring
the entire principal then outstanding, together with any accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable. Without
limiting the foregoing, if, and for so long as, any Monthly Payment or other payment due under this Note (subject to
Maker’s right to defer Monthly Payments during the Defer Period) remains past due for five (5) days or more, interest
under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum (the
“Default Interest Rate”), compounded monthly, beginning on the date such payment was due until such time
as Maker pays to BCC such past due amounts together with any amounts that become due during such time.


 


10. DEFINITIONS.
Obligations. The term “Obligations”, as used in this Note refers to any and all indebtedness and other obligations
under this Note of Maker to BCC.


 


11. COST OF ENFORCEMENT;
ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COSTS. Maker shall pay all of BCC’s reasonable expenses incurred to (1) enforce its right
under this Note, and (2) to enforce or collect any of the Obligations, including, without limitation, as a result of an Event of
Default by Maker, in each case, including, without limitation, reasonable arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and
experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred without the commencement of a suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative
proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.


 


12. USURY. If
at any time the effective interest rate under this Note (including the Default Interest Rate) would, but for this paragraph, exceed
the maximum lawful rate, the effective interest rate under this Note shall be the maximum lawful rate, and any amount received
by BCC in excess of such rate shall be applied to principal and then to fees and expenses, or, if no such amounts are owing, returned
to Maker.


 


13. WAIVERS AND
AMENDMENTS. No waivers, amendments or modifications of this Note shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an officer
of BCC. No waiver by BCC of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same default on a future occasion.
Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of BCC in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Note or the Purchase
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Except to the extent otherwise provided by the Purchase Agreement
or prohibited by law, Maker waives presentment, protest, notice of
