JOINTLY
REFERRED TO AS THE “PARTIES”

BACKGROUND
AND OBJECTIVE

	(i)		The State decided on 18 November
2011 to acquire responsibility for Norwegian CIRR-qualifying export financing.

	(ii)		In an agreement of 21 December
2011, the State and Eksportfinans established a provisional arrangement for a temporary export financing offer until a permanent
government export finance arrangement has been established.

	(iii)		This agreement regulates the
parties’ rights and obligations associated with the transfer of employees from Eksportfinans to the permanent government
export financing arrangement at the end of the provisional arrangement.

1      The transfer of employees

The parties shall cooperate in the transfer of employee
arrangements for a group of employees who are currently employed with Eksportfinans who the State wishes to have transferred to
its new export financing operation. This agreement regulates the parties’ rights ands obligations in connection with this.
The agreement established no right for those other than the Parties unless this is explicitly stated in the agreement.

2      The selection of employees who shall be transferred

The State shall prioritise the establishment of an interim
board for the permanent government export financing arrangement which shall commence talks with Eksportfinans with the intention
of, by 15 February 2012, ensuring there is a selection of Eksportfinans employees who shall be transferred to the State in accordance
with this agreement.

In the selection, Eksportfinans shall use the same assessments
that would follow from chapter 16 of the Working Environment Act for the transfer of an undertaking and under which one accepts
that the State will continue the part of Ekportfinans’ activities that relates to the CIRR arrangement (both CIRR loans with
fixed interest and CIRR-qualifying loans with market interest) and activities with a natural connection to this. In the assessment
of the people who will be transferred to the State, sufficient consideration must be paid to the fact that Eksportfinans will continue
its activities in administering existing CIRR-qualifying loans which are not acquired by the State as well as other activities
outside the CIRR-arrangement.

    	1

    	 

    
Immediately after Eksportfinans has identified employees
who shall be transferred to the State, Eksportfinans shall send the State an overview with the following information about the
people Eksportfinans believes, based on their current work tasks and expertise, should be transferred to work in the new governmental
arrangement: Name, date of birth, date of employment at Eksportfinans, position and existing placement in Eksportfinans’
organisation, annual salary and other financial conditions. After this overview has been sent, the State shall be consulted before
Eksportfinans potentially assesses major changes in the financial conditions for one or more of the selected employees.

As soon as possible after the establishment of the interim
board and no later than 10 February 2012, the interim board and Eksportfinans shall meet for talks about the employees who shall
be transferred to the new government arrangement. Prior to this, and no later than 31 January 2012, Eksportfinans must have sent
the State a provisional overview as mentioned above as the basis for such talks.

Upon the entering into of this agreement and based on
the Parties’ joint review of Eksportfinans’ organisation together with the rules concerning the transfer of undertakings
in chapter 16 of the Working Environment Act, the Parties agree that approximately 32-45 of Eksportfinans’ employees can
have the right to be transferred to the State. Eksportfinans will select a minimum of 32 employees for transfer under this agreement
unless Eksportfinans’ employees’ own resignations in the period between the entering into of the agreement and 15 February
2012 should entail that Eksportfinans no longer has a sufficient number of employees to transfer 32 employees to the State.

Employees at Eksportfinans who are transferred under
this clause 2 are referred to in the following as the "Selected Employees”.

3      legal framework for the transfer

The Parties agree that the Selected Employees shall be
transferred from Eksportfinans to the State in accordance with the rules in chapter 16 of the Working Environment Act. The parties
agree that this entails that the Selected Employees must have the rights that follow from chapter 16 of the Working Environment
Act in connection with the transfer. The Parties further agree that all other rules which apply for employees who are transferred
pursuant to the rules in chapter 16 of the Working Environment Act including, however not limited to the relevant provisions in
the Holidays Act, Company Pension Act and Contribution Pension Act, shall apply for the Selected Employees.

The Parties agree that the Selected Employees can assert
claims against each and all of the Parties as a consequence of this clause 3. The Parties agree that this agreement does not establish
special obligations for the Selected Employees.

4      the implementation of the transfer

If Eksportfinans receives notice that individual employees
among the Selected Employees have guarded against being transferred pursuant to section 16-3 of the Working Environment Act or
oppose the transfer with reference to other rules, Eksportfinans must immediately inform the State of this. The same applies if
individual employees among the Selected Employees resign from their positions before the transfer takes place. Individual employees
among the Selected Employees who have guarded against transfer in accordance with section 16-3 of the Working Environment Act,
or who oppose the transfer with reference to other rules, must not be transferred and will no longer be considered as being among
the Selected Employees under this agreement.

    	2

    	 

    
The Selected Employees’ employment arrangements
shall be transferred from Eksportfinans to the State with effect from and including 1 July 2012 (the “Transfer Date”).
Through the agreement the Parties can agree to a gradual transfer of employees to the government arrangement before this date.
It is noted that by signing this agreement it is not clarified as to whether the State will establish the permanent CIRR-qualifying,
export financing arrangement under its own direction or via another legal entity (for example a “special law company”).

On the Transfer Date, Eksportfinans shall transfer an
amount equal to all the Selected Employees’ outstanding claims for holiday pay as of 30 June 2012 to the State. The amount
shall be adjusted – reduced – for the Selected Employees’ outstanding holidays as of the Transfer Date. Upon
the transfer of this amount, the State shall take over the obligation to settle the Selected Employees’ outstanding claims
to holiday pay and the State shall indemnify Eksportfinans for any claims from the Selected Employees for payment of holiday pay
pursuant to section 16-2 (1), second sentence of the Working Environment Act. The parties can deviate from the above-mentioned
arrangement in a subsequent agreement.

On the Transfer Date, Eksportfinans shall supply all
information available about the Selected Employees in Eksportfinans’ personal archives to the State as the new employer.
Eksportfinans can retain copies of relevant data/documents as long as there is the need to process any subsequent claims and information
requirements.

5      transfer of this agreement

The State’s is obligated to transfer the State’s
rights and obligations under this agreement to a new legal entity for the permanent government export financing arrangement if
the State chooses to establish such a new legal entity.

In connection with the loans described on the Loan Schedule (each, a “Loan”), Borrower has entered into one or more loan agreements with Lender (each such loan agreement, as previously amended, restated, supplemented, extended or renewed, a “Loan Agreement”).  The Loan Agreements, the promissory notes evidencing each Loan, and the other documents and instruments currently evidencing and securing each Loan (all as previously amended, restated, supplemented, extended or renewed) are referred to collectively as the “Current Loan Documents.”  The Current Loan Documents, as modified by this Modification, are referred to as the “Loan Documents.”  Except as otherwise specifically stated in this Modification, (1) references in the Current Loan Documents and this Modification to the “Loan Documents,” or any of them, shall be deemed to be a reference to such Loan Documents, as modified by this Modification; (2) references in this Modification to “Loan” are to each such Loan; and (3) references to “Loan Agreement” are to each such Loan Agreement.

 

B. Borrower has requested that Lender modify the Current Loan Documents as provided in this Modification and Lender is willing to do so, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Modification.

AGREEMENT

 

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Borrower also acknowledges and agrees that the information set forth on the Loan Schedule is complete and correct.

 

2. Definitions.  As used in this Modification, the following terms are defined as follows:

 

“Adjusted Principal Payments” means with respect to each Release Loan, a calculated regular monthly payment of principal and interest determined by Lender based upon (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Release Loan as of the date of the determination; (b) the interest rate applicable to the Release Loan as of the date of determination and (c) the remainder of the original amortization period applicable to the Release Loan.  For avoidance of doubt, (i) any such calculated reamortization shall be made consistent with the original amortization schedule of the applicable Release Loan and shall not require that such calculation be based on the full amortization of such Loan over the remaining term and (ii) the foregoing calculation of the Adjusted Principal Payments is solely for the purpose of calculating the regular payments of principal and interest due on Release Loans in connection with the fixed charge coverage ratios pursuant to Sections 4(d) and 4(e) in order to reflect the effect of prepayments that would not otherwise result in a reamortization and shall not result in a change or reamortization of any payments actually due with respect to any Loan.

 

“Annualized Basis” means the determination of projected Operating Lease Expense, Adjusted Principal Payments, other scheduled principal payments, interest expense, and Capital Lease expense for an upcoming 12 month period, by (a) taking the current scheduled Operating Lease payment, Adjusted Principal Payments (in the case of Release Loans), other principal and interest payments (in the case of Loans that are not Release Loans and other Indebtedness included in such computation), and Capital Lease payments in each case as in effect for the first month of such 12 month period and multiplying each such amount by 12, and (b) in the case of non-amortizing Indebtedness (including for example, revolving credit facilities) taking the current principal balance thereof as of the date of determination multiplied by the current annual interest rate applicable to such Indebtedness; provided, however, (i) in the case of revolving credit facilities so long as Borrower provides Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender regarding the interest actually paid on such revolving indebtedness for the prior 12 month period, such actual interest expense will be used to calculate the applicable fixed charge coverage ratio; and (ii) in the case of a new hotel property that as of the date of determination of annualized principal and interest payments has been open for operation for less than 12 consecutive months, in lieu of clause (b) above, annualized principal payments on Indebtedness that finances the acquisition or development of such hotel property shall be determined by taking the current scheduled principal and interest payment on such loan and multiplying such current payment by the number of months that such new hotel site has actually been owned, opened and operating (as determined by Lender).

 

“Capital Lease” means any lease or similar arrangement that is classified as a capital lease pursuant to GAAP.

 

“Collateral” means all real and personal property, tangible and intangible, as to which Lender is granted a Lien pursuant to any of the Loan Documents and any other property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now existing or hereafter acquired, that may at any time be or become subject to a Lien in favor of Lender, with references to the Collateral to include all or any portion of or interest in any of the Collateral.

“Pre-Compensation FCCR (GE Collateral Pool)” means the ratio, calculated as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter of Borrower, determined in accordance with GAAP and calculated in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for Hotels, of (i) with respect to the 12-month period of time immediately preceding the applicable Fiscal Quarter end, the sum (without duplication) of (A) net income of the Sites, plus (B) the following amounts with respect to the Sites: interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, Operating Lease Expenses (including ground lease rent expense), and Capital Lease expense, less (C) non-recurring miscellaneous income, plus (D) non-recurring miscellaneous expense (as allowed by Lender), and minus (E) 4% of total room revenues with respect to each Site as an assumed reserve for replacement and 4% of total room revenues for each Site as an assumed management fee (or actual management fee, if greater) to (ii) the sum (without duplication) of the following amounts determined by Lender on an Annualized Basis with respect to the Sites: (A) Operating Lease Expenses (including ground lease rent expense), (B) scheduled Adjusted Principal Payments (with respect to Release Loans) and scheduled principal and interest payments on all other Loans and Indebtedness secured in whole or in part by a lien on the Site, (C) Capital Lease expense, and (D) interest expense (excluding non-cash interest expense and amortization of non-cash financing expenses).

 

(ii) Cure Right.  In lieu of any other provision of the Loan Documents that grants to any Credit Party the right to cure a Default arising from the violation of the Pre-Compensation FCCR (GE Collateral Pool) through the addition or substitution of Collateral or the payment of money (all of which provisions shall no longer be applicable), if there is a breach of the Pre-Compensation FCCR (GE Collateral Pool), an Event of Default shall not occur as a result of such breach if within 30 days after the earlier of notice from Lender or the occurrence of such breach, Borrower makes a prepayment of the Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of one or more of the Loan(s) (as selected by Lender as provided below) to an amount (and taking into account an adjustment of monthly payment amounts as a result of reamortization of the reduced Loan amount in equal monthly payments over the remaining term of the applicable Loan(s)) that would result in compliance with the Pre-Compensation FCCR (GE Collateral Pool) for the period in question.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such reamortization shall be made consistent with the original amortization schedule of the Loan(s) and shall not require that the Loan(s) be fully amortized over the remaining term.  Lender’s determination of the amount of any such prepayment and the amount of any reamortized monthly payments shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. Lender may determine in its sole discretion which Loan(s) such prepayment will be applied to and which Loans will be subject to reamortization.  Any such prepayment will be subject to all applicable prepayment fees and premiums.  Within five days after request from Lender, Borrower and the other Credit Parties will execute and deliver to Lender such modifications of the Loan Documents as Lender may request to evidence the amount and application of such prepayment and any reamortized monthly payments.

 

(iii) Loan-to-Value.  As of the end of each fiscal quarter set forth below, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the Appraised Value of the Sites shall not be greater than the following:

“Consolidated Post-Compensation FCCR” means the ratio, calculated as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter of Parent and its consolidated Affiliates and determined in accordance with GAAP, of:  (i) with respect to the 12-month period of time immediately preceding the applicable Fiscal Quarter end, the sum (without duplication) of (A) net income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and Operating Lease Expenses (including ground lease rent expense), and Capital Lease expense, but less (B) 4% of total room revenues with respect to each hotel property owned, operated or leased by Parent or any such Affiliate as an assumed reserve for replacement, and less (C) non-recurring miscellaneous income, and plus (D) non-recurring miscellaneous expense (as allowed by Lender) minus (E) increases in officer or shareholder loan receivables and minus (F) dividends or distributions not otherwise expensed on the applicable income statement(s); to (ii) the sum (without duplication) of the following amounts determined by Lender on an Annualized Basis, (A) Operating Lease Expense (including ground lease rent expense) and (B) scheduled Adjusted Principal Payments (with respect to Release Loans), scheduled principal and interest payments on long term debt (other than Release Loans), Capital Lease expense, income taxes (excluding noncash income taxes), and interest expense (excluding non-cash interest expense and amortization of non-cash financing expenses).

 

(iii) Cure Right.  In lieu of any other provision of the Loan Documents that grants to any Credit Party the right to cure a Default arising from the violation of the Consolidated Pre-Compensation FCCR or the Consolidated Post-Compensation FCCR through the addition or substitution of Collateral or the payment of money (all of which provisions shall no longer be applicable), if there is a breach of the Consolidated Pre-Compensation FCCR or Consolidated Post-Compensation FCCR, an Event of Default shall not occur as a result of such breach if within the earlier of 30 days after notice from Lender or the occurrence of such breach, Borrower makes a prepayment of the Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of one or more of the Loan(s) (as selected by Lender as provided below) to an amount (and taking into account an adjustment of monthly payment amounts as a result of reamortization of the reduced Loan amount in equal monthly payments over the remaining term of the applicable Loan(s)) that would result in compliance with the Consolidated Pre-Compensation FCCR or Consolidated Post-Compensation FCCR, as applicable, for the period in question.  For the avoidance of doubt, any such reamortization shall be made consistent with the original amortization schedule of the Loan(s) and shall not require that the Loan(s) be fully amortized over the remaining term.  Lender’s determination of the amount of any such prepayment and the amount of any reamortized monthly payments shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error. Lender may determine in its sole discretion which Loan(s) such prepayment will be applied to and which Loans will be subject to reamortization.  Any such prepayment will be subject to all applicable prepayment fees and premiums.  Within five days after request from Lender, Borrower and the other Credit Parties will execute and deliver to Lender such modifications of the Loan Documents as Lender may request to evidence the amount and application of such prepayment and any reamortized monthly payments.

 

(f) Excess Cash Flow and Other Provisions.  For avoidance of doubt, (i) all provisions of the Loan Documents requiring any Credit Party to pay excess cash flow to Lender shall remain in full force and effect, (ii) the increases in interest rates described in that certain Loan Modification Agreement, dated March 25, 2010 between Lender, Borrower and Guarantor shall remain in effect, and (iii) as a result of the replacement of existing financial covenants with the financial covenants in this Modification, any provisions in the Current Loan Documents that provide for a reduction in interest rates or fees; release, reduction or termination of guaranties or recourse or other benefits or concessions to any Credit Party as the result of achieving a particular fixed charge coverage ratio or other financial performance, shall no longer be applicable.

(ii) Financial Statement Requirements. All Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP from period to period (except quarterly Financial Statements shall not require footnotes or year-end adjustments).

(iii) Budgets and Projections.  Annually, at least 30 days prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, (A) Borrower will deliver to Lender consolidated budgets and projections for the operation of each Site for the upcoming Fiscal Year, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Lender and (B) Parent will deliver to Lender consolidated budgets and projections for all hotel properties owned, lease or operated by Parent or its consolidated Affiliates, in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

 

(h) Collateral Release.  In lieu of all other provisions of the Loan Documents with respect to the release or substitution of Collateral (which provisions shall no longer be applicable), Lender agrees to release its lien on the Sites identified on Exhibit D (the “Release Collateral”), upon payment to Lender (the “Release Price”) of the following amount with respect to each Property:

 

(i) Release Price Amount.

 

(A) With respect to Release Collateral operated as a Masters Inn and released prior to January 1, 2013, the Release Price shall equal the greater of:

 

(1) The greater of (x) all Net Sales Proceeds and (y) 95% of the gross contract sale price, less a fee (not to exceed $25,000, regardless of whether the actual amount thereof is greater) payable to HLC Hotels, Inc. (Masters Inns Sites) and Strand Development Company, LLC (Savannah Suites Sites) for termination of the management agreement for the Release Collateral; and

 

(2) A minimum Release Price as determined by Lender and set forth on Exhibit D.

 

(B) With respect to (x) Release Collateral operated as a Masters Inn and released on or after January 1, 2013 and (y) Release Collateral operated as a Savannah Suites (regardless of when the release occurs), the Release Prices shall equal the greatest of:

 

(1) The greater of (x) all Net Sales Proceeds and (y) 95% of the gross contract sale price, less a fee (not to exceed $25,000, regardless of whether the actual amount thereof is greater) payable to HLC Hotels, Inc. (Masters Inns Sites) and Strand Development Company, LLC (Savannah Suites Sites) for termination of the management agreement for the Release Collateral;

 

(2) 95% of the Appraised Value of the Release Collateral being sold as determined by Lender less the fee (not to exceed $25,000) actually paid for the termination of the management contract for the Release Collateral; and

 

(3) A minimum Release Price as determined by Lender and set forth on Exhibit D.

 

(ii) Additional Conditions to Releases.  In addition to payment of the Release Price for each Site described above, Lender’s obligation to release its lien on any of the Release Collateral shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

 

(A) No Default.  No Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing both before and after giving effect to the requested Release.

 

(B) Release Notice.  At least 30 days in advance of the proposed Release, Borrower shall have delivered a written notice to Lender (the “Release Notice”) describing, by address and contract number, the Release Collateral to be released.  The Release Collateral must include all real property owned or leased by Borrower at the Site, together with all of Borrower’s tangible and intangible personal property located at or used exclusively in connection with such Site.  The Release Notice must be accompanied by a computation in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender reflecting that after giving effect to the Requested Release and the removal of both the Appraised Value of the Release Collateral and the income and expenses of the Release Collateral Borrower will continue to be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Sections 4(d) and 4(e) as of the most recent Fiscal Quarter end.

 

(C) Title Policy Endorsement.  If the Release includes a release of a Lien on real property, Lender shall have the option to receive an endorsement to Lender’s title insurance policy ensuring that the Release does not affect coverage under the title insurance policy with respect to any real property that remains subject to Lender’s Lien.  The cost of any such endorsement shall be paid by Borrower.

 

(D) No Release with Respect to Other Loans.  If any portion of the Release Collateral is subject to lien securing a loan or other credit arrangement other than the Loan from Lender or one of its Affiliates made with respect to such Release Collateral (the “Other Loan”), the Release hereunder does not release such Release Collateral from the lien securing the Other Loan, and such Release Collateral will continue to be encumbered by such lien until such lien is released in accordance with the loan documents relating to the Other Loan.

 

(E) Disclosure.  At least 30 days before the requested release, Borrower shall have disclosed to Lender all brokerage and other agreements pursuant to which the Release Collateral is being marketed or sold, together with such other information as Lender may reasonably request.

 

(iii) Release Price Payment.  Any prepayment fees or other fees and costs of Lender shall be due and payable in addition to the Release Price and payments of such fees and costs shall be a further condition precedent to Lender’s obligation to release any Release Collateral.  The Release Price payment shall be applied to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Loan in the inverse order of maturity and will not result in a reamortization of any Loan.

 

(iv) Documents.  The parties agree to execute, deliver and record or file (as appropriate) partial releases, amendments or termination statements, as appropriate, to reflect the release of the Release Collateral.

 

(v) Other Properties.  With respect to Collateral that is not otherwise subject to release pursuant to this Section 4(h), Lender will consider release of such Collateral (other than upon payment in full of the Obligations) only on such terms and conditions as Lender may require in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

(i) Deferral of Certain Prepayment Fees.  Notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Modification, Borrower, Lender and Guarantor acknowledge and agree that the extension of the time to pay certain deferred charges and deferred fees as set forth in that certain Modification Agreement dated as of December 29, 2011 shall remain in effect.

 

(j) Modification of Certain Prepayment Fees.  With respect to the Loans for Masters Inns (Contract No. 000432169) and Savannah Suites (Contract Nos. 000432039 and 000431562) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with respect to prepayment premiums that first become payable after the effective date of this Modification (and without changing the amount or terms of any prepayment premiums incurred before such date), such premiums will be changed to the following:

 

(i) Loan No. 000432169 (Masters Inn).  With respect to Loan No. 000432169 (Masters Inn):  (A) 2.50% of the amount prepaid in 2012, (B) 3.75% of the amount prepaid from and after January 1, 2013 and on or before March 31, 2013 and (C) 10% of the amount prepaid after March 31, 2013.

 

(ii) Loan No. 000432039 (Savannah Suites Atlanta Pine Street).  With respect to Loan No. 000432039 (Savannah Suites Atlanta Pine Street):  (A) 2.50% of the amount prepaid in 2012, (B) 3.75% of the amount prepaid from and after January 1, 2013 and on or before June 30, 2013 and (C) 10% of the amount prepaid after June 30, 2013.

 

(iii) Loan No. 000431562 (6 Savannah Suites).  With respect to Loan No. 000431562 (6 Savannah Suites): (A) 2.50% of the amount prepaid in 2012, (B) 3.75% of the amount prepaid in 2013 and (C) 10% of the amount prepaid from and after January 1, 2014.

 

(k) Compliance Certificate.  From and after the date that this Modification becomes effective and continuing until all Obligations under the Loan Documents are fully paid and performed, anything in the Current Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, together with each delivery of any quarterly or annual financial statement and in connection with each request for the release of Collateral pursuant to Section 2(h), Borrower will deliver to Lender a compliance certificate (a “Compliance Certificate”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E or such other form as Lender may prescribe from time to time, duly executed by the treasurer, chief financial officer, or other appropriate officer of Borrower, in the case of financial statements for Borrower, and by the treasurer, chief financial officer, or other appropriate officer of each other Credit Party, in the case of financial statements for each other Credit Party, that, among other things (i) demonstrates compliance with each of the financial covenants contained in the Loan Documents; (ii) discloses and demonstrates compliance with all other financial covenants contained in any Material Debt (hereinafter defined), and (iii) states that no Default is continuing as of the date of delivery of such Compliance Certificate or, if a Default is continuing, states the nature thereof and the action that Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

(l) Cross Default/Financial Covenants.  In addition to all other Events of Default set forth in the Current Loan Documents, an Event of Default shall occur if a default occurs in the payment or performance when due (after giving effect to any applicable notice and grace periods), of any Indebtedness of any Credit Party or any of their Affiliates with an outstanding principal amount exceeding $10,000,000 (“Material Debt”) which would permit the lender thereof to accelerate such Indebtedness, including, without limitation, any of the loan and credit facilities listed on Exhibit B hereto.  Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that the Indebtedness listed on Exhibit B constitutes all Material Debt as of the date of this Agreement.  All financial covenants and related definitions in the loan documents evidencing the Material Debt (including those identified on Exhibit B) whether now existing or hereafter included in Material Debt (but without giving effect to any waivers of compliance with such financial covenants not agreed to by Lender in its sole discretion and without limiting any financial or other covenants contained in the Loan Documents) (the “Incorporated Covenants”) are hereby incorporated in the Loan Documents as if fully set forth therein; provided, however, so long as Borrower has achieved the Required Performance and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than an Event of Default that results solely from a breach of the Incorporated Covenants), if the lender holding Material Debt that includes an Incorporated Covenant has waived compliance with such Incorporated Covenant or amended such Incorporated Covenant, Lender agrees to also consent to such waiver or amendment.

 

(m) Periodic Appraisals.  Lender may require an appraisal for a particular Site, or an update to a previously provided Site appraisal, indicating the present appraised “as-is” value of such Site:  (i) annually as permitted pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii), (ii) if Lender determines in good faith that an appraisal of a particular Site is required as a result of (A) any law, regulation or guideline or any change or interpretation thereof; or (B) any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other Government Authority having jurisdiction over Lender or its activities requesting, directing or imposing a condition upon Lender (whether or not such request, direction or condition shall have the force of law); (iii) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; or (iv) at any other time that Lender, in its reasonable discretion deems it appropriate.  Appraisals and updates pursuant to subsections (i) and (iii) shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.  In addition, Borrower shall pay for one “desktop update” of each Appraisal ordered pursuant to subsection (i) in each calendar year.  Other Appraisals and updates shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense.  Lender shall not order any appraisals of any Masters Inn properties before January 1, 2013 so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(n) Waiver.  Upon the effectiveness of this Modification and the satisfaction of all conditions precedent in Section 10, Lender shall be deemed to have waived the Existing Defaults.

 

5. Additional Borrower Covenants.  Any other provisions of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding and, unless otherwise specifically stated, until such time as all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents have been fully paid and performed:

 

(a) Restrictions on the Prepayment of Indebtedness.  Borrower shall not prepay, redeem, purchase, defease or otherwise satisfy prior to the scheduled maturity thereof any Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness in favor of Lender and Lender’s affiliates; set apart any property for such purpose, whether directly or indirectly and whether to a sinking fund, a similar fund or otherwise, or make any payment in violation of any subordination terms of any Indebtedness; provided, however, that Borrower may, to the extent otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, (i) prepay the Obligations; (ii) make regularly scheduled or otherwise required repayments or redemptions of Indebtedness, but in the case of subordinated debt, only to the extent permitted by the subordination provisions thereof; (iii) make prepayments in connection with the payment of property release prices payable to lenders upon the sale of properties securing the applicable Indebtedness to persons other than Borrower and its Affiliates; and (iv) with respect to other Indebtedness, make (A) regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest, (B) mandatory prepayments of principal required pursuant to the terms of such other Indebtedness, (C) payments and prepayments with respect to revolving credit facilities, and (D) other voluntary prepayments of such Indebtedness provided such payments and prepayments pursuant to this clause (D) are either (I) in connection with a refinancing thereof that occurs within 90 days before the maturity of such Indebtedness or (II) if the Required Performance is met and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(b) Restrictions on Affiliate Transactions.  Borrower shall not enter into any transactions between or among Borrower and any of the other Credit Parties or any affiliate of Borrower or such other Credit Parties unless the same are on terms substantially as advantageous to Borrower as those which could be obtained by Borrower in a comparable arm’s length transaction with an independent third party.

 

(c) No Name or Other Organizational Changes.  No entity Credit Party shall (a) amend, restate, supplement, or terminate its organizational documents in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (b) change any of the following from what it is as of the date hereof:  (i) its name; (ii) its place of business or, if there is more than one principal place of business, its chief executive office; (iii) its mailing address; (iv) the location of its books and records; (v) the type of legal entity that it is; (vi) the organization identification number issued by its state of incorporation or organization, if it has one; however if such Credit Party does not have such a number and later obtains one, such Credit Party will immediately notify Lender of such number; or (vii) its state of incorporation or organization, without, in each instance, giving Lender at least 45 days’ prior written notice thereof and taking all actions deemed necessary or appropriate by Lender to continuously protect and perfect Lender’s Liens in the Collateral.

 

(d) Accounting Changes.

11. Descriptions Not Limiting.  The description of the Loan Documents contained in this Modification is for informational and convenience purposes only and shall not be deemed to limit, imply or modify the terms or otherwise affect the Loan Documents.  The description in this Modification of the specific rights of Lender shall not be deemed to limit or exclude any other rights to which Lender may now be or may hereafter become entitled to under the Loan Documents at law, in equity or otherwise.

 

12. Release.  Each of the Credit Parties fully, finally and forever release and discharges each of the Lender Parties from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, debts, demands, liabilities, obligations and suits, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity, that any of the Credit Parties has or in the future may have, whether known or unknown, against any of the Lender Parties:  (a) in respect of the Loan, this Modification, the other Loan Documents or the actions or omissions of Lender or any of the other Lender Parties in respect of the Loan or the Loan Documents; and arising from events occurring prior to the date of this Modification; or (b) relating to the making, validity, or enforceability of the Loan Documents, including this Modification.  FURTHER, RELEASING PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY PROVISION OF STATUTORY OR DECISIONAL LAW TO THE EFFECT THAT A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN SUCH PARTY’S FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY SUCH PARTY, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED SUCH PARTY’S SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEASED PARTIES, INCLUDING PROVISIONS SIMILAR TO SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, WHICH PROVIDES:  “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

13. Bankruptcy.

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Modification and for other good and valuable consideration, each Credit Party agrees that if such Credit Party is the subject of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceedings, whether federal or state, voluntary or involuntary, under any present or future law or act:

 

(a) Relief from Stay.  Lender shall be entitled to the immediate and absolute lifting of any automatic stay as to the enforcement of its remedies under this Modification and the Loan Documents.  Each Credit Party consents to the immediate lifting of any such automatic stay, and will not contest or object to any motion filed by Lender to lift such stay.

Each Credit Party agrees that no injunctive relief against Lender shall be sought under Section 105 or any other provision of Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended.

15. Receivers.  Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, Lender may seek and obtain the appointment of a court-appointed receiver, regardless of the adequacy of Lender’s security, and each Credit Party irrevocably consents to the appointment of such receiver.  Any action or proceeding to obtain the appointment of a receiver may be brought any state or federal court having jurisdiction over such Credit Party or the Collateral, and each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.  Each Credit Party hereby agrees that (a) the receiver may enter upon and take possession and control of the Collateral and shall perform all acts necessary and appropriate to implement the order appointing such receiver; (b) the receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of such Credit Party’s business or the Collateral; and (c) Lender shall not be liable to any Credit Party, or anyone claiming under or through any Credit Party by reason of the appointment of a receiver or receiver’s actions or failure to act.

17. Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages.  In no event shall Lender or any other Lender Party be liable to Borrower or any other Credit Party on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  BORROWER AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE AND AGREE NOT TO SUE UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

 

18. Governing Law.  THE LAWS OF THE STATE IDENTIFIED IN THE CURRENT LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS IT RELATES TO ANY LOAN AND AS LIMITED THEREIN) SHALL GOVERN ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS MODIFICATION, INCLUDING ITS VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT.

 

19. Jurisdiction and Service of Process.  Any legal action or proceeding with respect to any Loan Document shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of Arizona located in Maricopa County or of the United States for the District of Arizona, sitting in Phoenix, Arizona, and Borrower and each other Credit Party unconditionally accepts, for itself and in respect of its property, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of Lender to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts located in the state in which the Site is located to the extent Lender deems such proceeding necessary or advisable to exercise remedies available under any Loan Document.  Lender, Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.  Each of Borrower and the other Credit Parties (a) irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents of any kind; (b) consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States by any means permitted by Applicable Law, including by the mailing thereof to the address of Borrower specified on the signature page hereto; and (c) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. 

 

21. Authorization to Disclose.  Each Credit Party authorizes its banks, creditors (including trade creditors, suppliers, and vendors but with respect to such trade creditors, suppliers, and vendors only with the consent of Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, or after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default), and franchisors to disclose and release to the Lender Parties any and all information they may request from time to time regarding (a) any depository, loan or other credit account of such Credit Party; (b) the status of each franchise agreement; (c) the affairs and financial condition of such Credit Party; and (d) such Credit Party’s business operations.

28. Certain Accounting Terms and Principles.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the Loan Documents, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used in the Loan Documents shall be construed, all financial statements delivered pursuant to any of the Loan Documents shall be prepared, and all computations of financial covenants, including amounts and ratios, provided for in this Modification or any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Borrower or any other Credit Party or any affiliate of any such party at “fair value,” as defined therein.

 

29. Document Execution; Counterparts; Electronic Transmissions.  Anything in the Current Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding:

Lender and the Credit Parties may (but are not required to) transmit or otherwise make or communicate any Loan Document as an Electronic Transmission, other than the following, each of which shall require a live pen and ink original:  (i) any Loan Document to be filed or recorded with a governmental authority; and (ii) any other Loan Document that Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion and in its instructions to Borrower or any other Credit Party, specifies must be a live pen and ink original, which instructions may also provide that Lender will accept signature pages as an Electronic Transmission in order to close the Loan, provided that live pen and ink signature pages are delivered to Lender within the time period specified by Lender in the instructions, with Lender being entitled, upon written notice to Borrower or such other Credit Party, to treat such Credit Party’s failure to deliver the required live pen and ink signature pages within the specified time period as an Event of Default for which Borrower shall have a five-day cure period.  “Electronic Transmission” means each document, instruction, authorization, file, information and any other communication transmitted, posted or otherwise made or communicated by e-mail or any system used to receive or transmit faxes electronically.

 

(c) Effectiveness of Electronic Transmissions.  Subject to the provisions of subsection (b), Lender and the Credit Parties agree: (i) that a Loan Document that is the subject of an Electronic Transmission, including a party’s signature on such Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing,” “authentication,” or “signature” pursuant to any provision of any of the Loan Documents or applicable law; (ii) each such Electronic Transmission shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same legal effect as a signed paper original; and (iii) not to contest the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document that is the subject of an Electronic Transmission under the provisions of any applicable law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection shall limit a party’s right to contest whether any Loan Document that is the subject of an Electronic Transmission has been altered after transmission or that the Electronic Transmission was delivered to an appropriate representative of Lender.  Lender and each Credit Party acknowledge and agree that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and assume and accept such risks.

 

30. Entire Agreement; Change; Discharge; Termination or Waiver.  The Current Loan Documents, as modified by this Modification, contain the entire understanding and agreement of Borrower and Lender in respect of the Loan and supersede all prior representations, warranties, agreements and understandings.  No provision of the Loan Documents may be changed, discharged, supplemented, terminated or waived except in a writing signed by Lender and Borrower.
