referred to in the preceding subitem (Y). 
  
 (ii) Lessee consents
to Lessor and Lender providing the Disclosures, as well as any other information which Lessor and Lender may now have or hereafter acquire with respect to the Property or the financial condition of the Lessee Parties to each purchaser, transferee,

 9. Taxes and Assessments. Lessee shall pay, prior to the earlier of delinquency or the accrual of interest on the unpaid balance, all taxes

connection with the transfer of the Property to Lessee or the termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Lease). 
  
 All taxing authorities shall be instructed to send all tax and assessment invoices to Lessee and Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor and Lender with
copies of all tax and assessment invoices received by Lessee. Upon request, Lessee shall also provide Lessor and Lender with evidence that such invoices were paid in a timely fashion. Lessee may, at its own expense, contest or cause to be contested,
by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any item specified in this Section or lien therefor, provided that (i) Lessee shall provide written
notice to Lessor of any contest involving more than $10,000.00, (ii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection thereof from the Property or any interest therein, (iii) neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of being

hereof are satisfied): 
  
 A. Insurance against loss, damage or
destruction by fire and other casualty, including theft, vandalism and malicious mischief, flood (for the Property which is in a location designated by the Federal Emergency Management Administration as a Special Flood Hazard Area), earthquake (for
the Property which is in an area subject to destructive earthquakes within recorded history), boiler explosion (for the Property with a boiler), plate glass breakage, sprinkler damage (for the Property which has a sprinkler system), all matters

and property damage insurance, including a products liability clause, covering Lessor and Lessee against bodily injury liability, property damage liability and automobile bodily injury and property damage liability, including without limitation any
liability arising out of the ownership, maintenance, repair, condition or operation of the Property or adjoining ways, streets or sidewalks and, if applicable, insurance covering Lessor and Lessee against liability arising from the sale of liquor,
beer or wine on the Property. Such insurance policy or policies shall contain a broad form contractual liability endorsement under which the insurer agrees to insure Lessee’s obligations under Section 19 hereof to the extent insurable, and a
“severability of interest” clause or endorsement which precludes the insurer from denying the claim of Lessee or Lessor because of the negligence or other acts of the other, shall be in amounts of not less than $1,000,000.00 per injury and
occurrence with respect to any insured liability, whether for personal injury or property damage, or such higher limits as Lessor may reasonably require from time to time, and shall be of form and substance satisfactory to Lessor.

 - 12 - 

 D. State Worker’s compensation insurance in the statutorily mandated limits, employer’s
liability insurance with limits not less than $500,000 or such greater amount as Lessor may from time to time require and such other insurance as may be necessary to comply with applicable laws. 
  
 E. Such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by
Lessor or Lender in order to protect their respective interests with respect to the Property. 
  
 All insurance policies shall: 
  
 (i) Provide for a waiver of subrogation by the insurer as to claims against Lessor, Lender and their respective employees and agents and provide that such insurance cannot be unreasonably cancelled, invalidated or suspended on account of
the conduct of Lessee, its officers, directors, employees or agents; 
  
 (ii) Provide that any “no other insurance” clause in the insurance policy shall exclude any policies of insurance maintained by Lessor or Lender and that the insurance policy shall not be brought into contribution with insurance
maintained by Lessor or Lender; 
  
 (iii) Contain a standard
without contribution mortgage clause endorsement in favor of Lender and its successors and assigns as their interests may appear and any other party designated by Lessor; 
  
 (iv) Provide that the policy of insurance shall not be terminated, cancelled or substantially modified without at least
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessor, Lender and to any other party covered by any standard mortgage clause endorsement; 
  
 (v) Provide that the insurer shall not have the option to restore the Property if Lessor or Lessee elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with the
terms hereof; 
  
 (vi) Be issued by insurance companies licensed
to do business in the states in which the Property is located and which are rated A:VI or better by Best’s Insurance Guide or are otherwise approved by Lessor; and 
  
 (vii) Provide that the insurer shall not deny a claim because of the negligence of Lessee, anyone acting for Lessee or any
tenant or other occupant of the Property. 
  
 It is expressly
understood and agreed that the foregoing minimum limits of insurance coverage shall not limit the liability of Lessee for its acts or omissions as provided in this Lease. All liability insurance policies (with the exception of worker’s
compensation insurance to the extent not available under statutory law), shall designate Lessor and Lender and their respective successors and assigns as additional insureds as their interests may appear and shall be payable as set forth in Section
21 hereof. All such policies shall be written as primary policies, with deductibles not to exceed 10% of the amount of coverage. Any other policies, including any policy now or hereafter carried by Lessor or Lender, shall serve as excess coverage.
Lessee shall procure policies for all insurance for periods of not less than one year and shall provide to Lessor and Lender certificates of insurance or, upon the request of Lessor or Lender, duplicate originals of insurance policies evidencing
that insurance satisfying the requirements of this Lease is in effect at all times. In the event of any transfer by Lessor of Lessor’s interest in the Property or any financing or refinancing of Lessor’s interest in the Property, Lessee
shall, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice, deliver to Lessor or any Lender providing such financing or refinancing, as the case may be, certificates of all insurance required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder naming such
transferee or such Lender, as the case may be, as an additional named insured to the extent required herein effective as of the date of such transfer, financing or refinancing. 
  

 - 13 - 

 12. Tax and Insurance Impound. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor may
require Lessee to pay to Lessor sums which will provide an impound account (which shall not be deemed a trust fund) for paying up to the next one year of taxes, assessments and/or insurance premiums for the Property. Upon such requirement, Lessor
will estimate the amounts needed for such purposes and will notify Lessee to pay the same to Lessor in equal monthly installments, as nearly as practicable, in addition to all other sums due under this Lease. Should additional funds be required at
any time, Lessee shall pay the same to Lessor on demand. Lessee shall advise Lessor of all taxes and insurance bills which are due and shall cooperate fully with Lessor in assuring that the same are paid. Lessor may deposit all impounded funds in
accounts insured by any federal or state agency and may commingle such funds with other funds and accounts of Lessor. Interest or other gains from such funds, if any, shall be the sole property of Lessor. If an Event of Default shall occur
subsequent to Lessor requiring the establishment of an impound account pursuant to this Section, Lessor may apply all impounded funds against any sums due from Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall give to Lessee an annual accounting showing all credits
and debits to and from such impounded funds received from Lessee. 
  
 13. Payment of Rental and Other Sums. All rental and other sums which Lessee is required to pay hereunder shall be the unconditional obligation of Lessee and shall be payable in full when due without any setoff, abatement,
deferment, deduction or counterclaim whatsoever Any delinquent payment (that is, any payment not made within five calendar days after the date when due) shall, in addition to any other remedy of Lessor, incur a late charge of 5% (which late charge
is intended to compensate Lessor for the cost of handling and processing such delinquent payment and should not be considered interest) and bear interest at the Default Rate, such interest to be computed from and including the date such payment was
due through and including the date of the payment; provided, however, in no event shall Lessee be obligated to pay a sum of late charge and interest higher than the maximum legal rate then in effect. 
  
 14. Use. Except as set forth below, the Property shall be used
solely for the operation of a Permitted Concept and for no other purpose. Lessee shall occupy the Property commencing on the Effective Date and, except as set forth below and except during periods when the Property is untenantable by reason of fire
or other casualty or condemnation (provided, however, during all such periods while the Property is untenantable, Lessee shall strictly comply with the terms and conditions of Section 21 of this Lease), Lessee shall at all times during the Lease
Term occupy the Property and diligently operate its business on the Property. Lessee may cease diligent operation of business at the Property for a period not to exceed 90 days and may do so only once with respect to the Property within any
five-year period during the Lease Term. If Lessee does discontinue operation as permitted by this Section, Lessee shall (i) give written notice to Lessor within 10 days after Lessee elects to cease operation, (ii) provide adequate protection and
maintenance of the Property during any period of vacancy, (iii) comply with all Applicable Regulations and otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease other than the continuous use covenant set forth in this Section, and (iv) pay
all costs necessary to restore the Property to its condition on the day operation of the business ceased at such time as the Property is reopened for Lessee’s business operations or other substituted use approved by Lessor as contemplated
below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lessee shall pay the Base Monthly Rental on the first day of each month during any period in which Lessee discontinues operation. 
  
 Lessee shall not, by itself or through any assignment, sublease or other type of transfer, convert the Property to an
alternative use during the Lease Term without Lessor’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lessor may consider any or all of the following in determining whether to grant its consent, without being deemed to be
unreasonable: (i) whether the rental paid to Lessor would be equal to or greater than the anticipated rental assuming continued existing use, (ii) whether the proposed rental to be paid to Lessor is reasonable considering the converted use of the
Property and the customary rental prevailing in the community for such use, (iii) whether the converted use will be consistent with the highest and best use of the Property, and (iv) whether the converted use will increase Lessor’s risks or
decrease the value of the Property. 
  
 15. Compliance with
Laws Generally. A. Lessee’s use and occupation of the Property, and the condition thereof, shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, comply with all Applicable Regulations

in any way to the Property;

reasonably requested by Lessor (including but not limited to sampling, testing and analysis of soil, water, air, building materials and other materials and substances whether solid, liquid or gas), and share with Lessor and Environmental Insurer the
reports and other results thereof, and Lessor and other Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on such reports and other results thereof; and 
  
 (b) have the Property inspected as may be required by any Environmental Laws for seepage, spillage and other environmental concerns. If
any USTs are located at the Property, Lessee shall maintain and monitor such USTs in accordance with all Environmental Laws. Lessee shall provide Lessor with written certified results of all inspections performed on the Property. All costs and
expenses associated with the inspection, preparation and certification of results, as well as those associated with any corrective action, shall be paid by Lessee. All inspections and tests performed on the Property shall be conducted in compliance
with all Environmental Laws.

Securitization, Participation or Transfer or in connection with a proposed sale or conveyance of the Property or a proposed financing or refinancing secured by the Property or in connection with the exercise of any remedies set forth in this Lease,
the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, as applicable) to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of the Property and its use, including but not limited to conducting any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which

certificate of occupancy (if the alterations are of such a nature as would require the issuance of a certificate of occupancy), and (iv) any other documents or information reasonably requested by Lessor. Any addition to or alteration of the Property
shall automatically be deemed a part of the Property and belong to Lessor, and Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lessor such instruments as Lessor may require to evidence the ownership by Lessor of such addition or alteration. Lessee shall execute
and file or record, as appropriate, a “Notice of Non-Responsibility,” or any equivalent notice permitted under applicable law in the state where the Property is located. 
  
 19. Indemnification. A. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and
hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties for, from and against any and all Losses (excluding Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that
the term “gross negligence” shall not include gross negligence imputed as a matter of law to any of the Indemnified Parties solely by reason of the Lessor’s interest in the Property or Lessor’s failure to act in respect of
matters which are or were the obligation of Lessee under this Lease) caused by, incurred or resulting from Lessee’s operations of or relating in any manner to the Property, whether relating to their original design or construction, latent

defects, alteration, maintenance, use by Lessee or any person thereon, supervision or otherwise, or from any breach of, default under, or failure to perform,
any term or provision of this Lease by Lessee, its officers, employees, agents or other persons, or to which any Indemnified Party is subject because of Lessor’s interest in the Property, including, without limitation, Losses arising from (1)
any accident, injury to or death of any person or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or portion thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways, (2) any use, non-use or condition in, on

any and all Losses (excluding Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party directly arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the term “gross negligence” shall not include gross
negligence imputed as a matter of law to any of the Indemnified Parties solely by reason of the Lessor’s interest in the Property or Lessor’s failure to act in respect of matters which are or were the obligation of Lessee under this Lease)
and costs of Remediation (whether or not performed voluntarily), engineers’ fees, environmental consultants’ fees, and costs of investigation (including but not limited to sampling, testing, and analysis of soil, water, air, building

Release, generation, production, manufacturing, processing, refining, control, management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer or transportation to or from the Property of any Hazardous Materials or USTs at any time located in, under, on or above

 (12) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or
material breach or failure to perform any covenants or other obligations pursuant to this Lease. 
  
 C. It is expressly understood and agreed that Lessee’s obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease for any reason. 
  
 20. Quiet Enjoyment. So
long as Lessee shall pay the rental and other sums herein provided and shall keep and perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions on its part herein contained, Lessee shall have, subject and subordinate to Lessor’s rights herein, the
right to the peaceful and quiet occupancy of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall Lessee be entitled to bring any action against Lessor to enforce its rights hereunder if an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing. 
  
 21. Condemnation or Destruction.
A. In the event of a taking of all or any part of the Property for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement between Lessor, Lessee and those
authorized to exercise such right (“Taking”) or the commencement of any proceedings or negotiations which might result in a Taking or any material damage to or destruction of the Property or any part thereof (“Casualty”), Lessee
will promptly give written notice thereof to Lessor, generally describing the nature and extent of such Taking, proceedings, negotiations or Casualty and including copies of any documents or notices received in connection therewith. Thereafter,
Lessee shall promptly send Lessor copies of all correspondence and pleadings relating to any such Taking, proceedings, negotiations or Casualty. During all periods of time following a Casualty, Lessee shall ensure that the subject Property is secure
and does not pose any risk of harm to adjoining property owners or occupants or third-parties. 
  
 B. In case of a Taking of the whole of the Property, other than for temporary use (“Total Taking”), this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such Total Taking and all rentals, sums of money and other
charges provided to be paid by Lessee shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such Total 

  

 - 19 - 

 
Taking; provided, however, in the event of a Total Taking, if the net award or payment, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses incident to the
collection thereof (the “Net Amount”), for such Total Taking is less than the sum of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due under the Note and all other sums payable by Lessor to Lender under the other Loan Documents
(collectively, the “Obligations”), Lessee shall pay to Lender within 10 days of Lessor’s receipt of the Net Amount an amount equal to the difference between the Obligations and the Net Amount, if any. Total Taking shall include a
taking of substantially all the Property if, in the sole determination of Lessor, the remainder of the Property is not useable and cannot be made useable for the purposes provided herein. Lessor shall be entitled to receive the entire award or
payment in connection with any taking of the Property without deduction for any estate vested in Lessee by this Lease. Lessee hereby expressly assigns to Lessor all of its right, title and interest in and to every such award or payment and agrees
that Lessee shall not be entitled to any award or payment for the value of Lessee’s leasehold interest in the Lease. Lessee shall be entitled to claim and receive any award or payment from the condemning authority expressly granted for the
taking of Lessee’s Personalty, the interruption of its business and moving expenses, but only if such claim or award does not adversely affect or interfere with the prosecution of Lessor’s claim for the Taking. Lessee shall promptly send
Lessor copies of all correspondence and pleadings relating to any such claim. 
  
 C. In case of a temporary use of all or any part of the Property by a Taking (“Temporary Taking”), this Lease shall remain in full force and effect without any reduction of Base Annual Rental, Additional
Rental or any other sum payable hereunder. Except as provided below, Lessee shall be entitled to the entire award for a Temporary Taking, whether paid by damages, rent or otherwise, unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning
authorities shall extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease, in which case the award made for such Taking shall be apportioned between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of such expiration. At the termination of any such Temporary Taking,
Lessee will, at its own cost and expense and pursuant to the terms of Section 17 above, promptly commence and complete the restoration of the Property; provided, however, Lessee shall not be required to restore the Property if the Lease Term shall
expire prior to, or within one year after, the date of termination of the Temporary Taking, and in such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover all damages and awards arising out of the failure of the condemning authority to repair and restore the
Property at the expiration of such Temporary Taking. 
  
 D. In the
event of a Taking of less than all of the Property for other than a temporary use (“Partial Taking”) or of damage or destruction to all or any part of the Property, all awards, compensation or damages shall be paid to Lessor, and Lessor
shall have the option to (i) terminate this Lease, provided that Lessor shall have obtained Lender’s prior written consent, by notifying Lessee within 60 days after Lessee gives Lessor notice of such damage or destruction or that title has
vested in the taking authority or (ii) continue this Lease in effect, which election may be evidenced by either a notice from Lessor to Lessee or Lessor’s failure to notify Lessee that Lessor has elected to terminate this Lease within such
60-day period. Lessee shall have a period of 60 days after Lessor’s notice that it has elected to terminate this Lease during which to elect to continue this Lease on the terms herein provided. If Lessee does not elect to continue this Lease or
shall fail during such 60-day period to notify Lessor of Lessee’s intent to continue this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate as of the last day of the month during which such period expired. Lessee shall then immediately vacate and
surrender the Property, all obligations of either party hereunder shall cease as of the date of termination (provided, however, Lessee’s obligations to Lessor under Section 18 and Lessee’s obligations to pay Base Annual Rental, Additional
Rental and all other sums (whether payable to Lessor or a third-party) accruing under this Lease prior to the date of termination shall survive such termination) and Lessor may retain all such awards, compensation or damages. If Lessor elects not to
terminate this Lease, or if Lessor elects to terminate this Lease but Lessee elects to continue this Lease, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect on the following terms: (i) all Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental and other sums
and obligations due under this Lease shall continue unabated, and (ii) Lessee shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute restoration of the Property to the same condition, as nearly as practicable, as prior to such partial condemnation, damage
or destruction as approved by Lessor. Lessor shall promptly make available in installments as restoration progresses an amount up to but not exceeding the amount of any award, compensation or damages received by Lessor, upon request of Lessee
accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that such amount has been paid or is due and payable and is properly a 

  

 - 20 - 

 
part of such costs and that Lessee has complied with the terms of Section 18 above in connection with the restoration. Lessor shall be entitled to keep any
portion of such award, compensation or damages which may be in excess of the cost of restoration, and Lessee shall bear all additional costs, fees and expenses of such restoration in excess of the amount of any such award, compensation or damages.

  
 E. Any loss under any property damage insurance required to be
maintained by Lessee shall be adjusted by Lessor and Lessee. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage, any award relating to a Total Taking or a Partial Taking shall be adjusted by Lessor or, at Lessor’s election, Lessee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Section to the contrary but subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage, if at the time of any Taking or any Casualty or at any time thereafter an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing under this Lease, Lessor is hereby authorized and empowered but shall not be obligated, in the name and on behalf of Lessee and otherwise, to file and prosecute Lessee’s claim, if any, for an award on account of such
Taking or for insurance proceeds on account of such Casualty and to collect such award or proceeds and apply the same, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses incident to the collection thereof, to the curing of such default and any other then
existing default under this Lease and/or to the payment of any amounts owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, in such order, priority and proportions as Lessor in its discretion shall deem proper. 
  
 F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 21 shall be
construed as limiting or otherwise adversely affecting the representations, warranties, covenants and characterizations set forth in Lease, including, without limitation, those provisions set forth in Section 3 of this Lease. 
  
 22. Inspection. Lessor and its authorized representatives shall
have the right during normal business hours (or at any time in the event of an emergency) to enter the Property or any part thereof at reasonable times in order to inspect the same and make photographic or other evidence concerning Lessee’s
compliance with the terms of this Lease or in order to show the Property to prospective purchasers and lenders. Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Lessee’s business, any loss of
occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Property and any other loss occasioned by such entry so long as Lessor shall have used reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interrupt Lessee’s normal business operations. Lessee shall keep and maintain at
the Property or Lessee’s corporate headquarters full, complete and appropriate books of account and records of Lessee’s business relating to the Property in accordance with GAAP. Lessee’s books and records shall at all times be open
for inspection by Lessor, Lender and their respective auditors or other authorized representatives and shall show such information as is reasonably necessary to determine compliance with Lessor’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

  
 23. Trademark. A. Lessee is the owner of the
Trademark and agrees to use the Trademark in connection with the operation of the Facilities. 
  
 B. Lessee shall challenge all unauthorized uses or infringements of the Trademark, and Lessee shall prosecute any person or firm who unlawfully uses or attempts to use the Trademark in connection with the operation of
motel properties, or other facilities which may be competitive with the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or would otherwise materially affect the value or results of operations of the Leased Property or the prospects or goodwill of the
Lessor. Lessee shall also seek to cancel registrations or applications for registration of trademarks that infringe or reasonably appear to infringe on the trademark. The costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by Lessee in
connection with any such actions shall be reimbursed to it in full by Lessor provided that the Trademark is then being used by Lessee only in connection with the Leased Property. 
  
 C. Lessee agrees that it will indemnify and hold Lessor and Jameson Inns, Inc. harmless from all fines, suits, proceedings,
claims, demands, or actions of any kind or nature, from anyone whomsoever, arising or growing out of or otherwise connected with the use of the Trademark in connection with Lessee’s operation of the Property. 
  

 - 21 - 

 24. Default, Remedies and Measure of Damages. A. Each of the following shall be an event of
default under this Lease (each, an “Event of Default”): 
  
 (i) If any representation or warranty of Lessee set forth in this Lease is false in any material respect, or if Lessee renders any statement or account which is false in any material respect; 
  
 (ii) If any rent or other monetary sum due under this Lease is not paid
within five days after the date when due; provided, however, notwithstanding the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lessor shall not be entitled to exercise its remedies set forth below unless and until Lessor shall have given Lessee notice
thereof and a period of five days from the delivery of such notice shall have elapsed without such Event of Default being cured; 
  
 (iii) Subject to the provisions of Section 9, if Lessee fails to pay, prior to delinquency, any taxes, assessments or other charges the failure of which
to pay will result in the imposition of a lien against the Property pursuant to Applicable Regulations; 
  
 (iv) If any of the Lessee Parties becomes insolvent within the meaning of the Code, files or notifies Lessor that it intends to file a petition under the
Code, initiates a proceeding under any similar law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding up or adjustment of debts (collectively, an “Action”), becomes the subject of either a petition under the Code or an
Action, or is not generally paying its debts as the same become due; 
  
 (v) If Lessee vacates or abandons the Property other than in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of this Lease; 
  
 (vi) If Lessee shall fail to maintain insurance in accordance with the requirements of Section 11 of this Lease; 
  
 (vii) If Lessee fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants,
conditions, or obligations of this Lease; provided, however, if any such failure does not involve the payment of any monetary sum, is not willful or intentional, does not place any rights or property of Lessor in immediate jeopardy, and is within
the reasonable power of Lessee to promptly cure after receipt of notice thereof, all as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless otherwise expressly provided
herein, unless and until Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of 30 days shall have elapsed, during which period Lessee may correct or cure such failure, upon failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have
occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required. If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, and Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of
such failure, then Lessee shall have a reasonable period to cure such failure beyond such 30-day period, which shall in no event exceed 90 days after receiving notice of such failure from Lessor. If Lessee shall fail to correct or cure such failure
within such 90-day period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required; 
  
 (viii) If there is an “Event of Default” or a breach or default, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, under any
of the Other Agreements; or 
  
 (ix) If a final, nonappealable
judgment is rendered by a court against any of the Lessee Parties which (i) has a material adverse effect on the operation of the Property as a Permitted Concept, or (ii) is in an amount greater than $100,000.00 and not covered by insurance, and, in
either case, is not discharged or provision made for such discharge within 60 days from the date of entry of such judgment. 
  
 B. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except the notice prior to default required under certain circumstances
by subsection A. above or such other notice as may be required by statute and cannot be waived by Lessee (all other notices being hereby waived), Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, concurrently, successively, or in any combination,
all remedies available at law or in equity, including without limitation, any one or more of the following as well as any other remedies allowable under applicable law: 
  
 (i) To terminate this Lease, whereupon Lessee’s right to possession of the Property shall cease and this Lease, except
as to Lessee’s liability, shall be terminated. 
  

 - 22 - 

 (ii) To reenter and take possession of any or all of the Property, any or all Personal Property located
on or at any or all of the Property in which Lessor shall have a landlord’s lien and/or security interest, and, to the extent permissible, all franchises, licenses, area development agreements, permits and other rights or privileges of Lessee
pertaining to the use and operation of any or all of the Property and to expel Lessee and those claiming under or through Lessee, without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom,
without resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or action. No notice from Lessor hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar law shall constitute an election by Lessor to terminate this Lease unless such notice
specifically so states. If Lessee shall, after default, voluntarily give up possession of the Property to Lessor, deliver to Lessor or its agents the keys to the Property, or both, such actions shall be deemed to be in compliance with Lessor’s
rights and the acceptance thereof by Lessor or its agents shall not be deemed to constitute a termination of this Lease. Lessor reserves the right following any reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee
written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice. 
  
 (iii) To seize all Personal Property located on or at any or all of the Property, in which Lessor shall have a landlord’s lien and/or security interest, and to dispose thereof in accordance with the laws
prevailing at the time and place of such seizure or to remove all or any portion of such property and cause the same to be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at Lessee’s sole expense, without becoming liable for any loss or damage
resulting therefrom and without resorting to legal or judicial process, procedure or action. 
  
 (iv) To bring an action against Lessee for any damages sustained by Lessor or any equitable relief available to Lessor. 
  
 (v) To relet any or all of the Property or any part thereof for such term or terms (including a term which extends beyond the original Lease Term), at
such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, with all proceeds received from such reletting being applied to the rental and other sums due from Lessee in such order as Lessor may, in it sole discretion,
determine, which other sums include, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses, employee expenses, alteration, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparing for such reletting.
Except to the extent required by applicable law, Lessor shall have no obligation to relet the Property or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Property or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such
reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Lessee of any liability under this Lease or otherwise to affect any such liability. Lessor reserves the right
following any reentry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice. 
  
 (vi) (x) To recover from Lessee all rent and other monetary sums then due and
owing under this Lease and (y) to accelerate and recover from Lessee all rent and other monetary sums scheduled to become due and owing under this Lease after the date of such breach for the entire original scheduled Lease Term. 
  
 (vii) To recover from Lessee all costs and expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees, costs of tests and analyses, travel and accommodation expenses, deposition and trial transcripts, copies and other similar costs and fees, paid or incurred by Lessor as a result of such breach,
regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced. 
  

 - 23 - 

 (viii) To immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, at Lessor’s sole option
but without any obligation to do so, correct such breach or default and charge Lessee all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor therein. Any sum or sums so paid by Lessor, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional
Rental hereunder and shall be immediately due from Lessee to Lessor. Any such acts by Lessor in correcting Lessee’s breaches or defaults hereunder shall not be deemed to cure said breaches or defaults or constitute any waiver of Lessor’s
right to exercise any or all remedies set forth herein. 
  
 (ix)
To immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, except as required herein, set off any money of Lessee held by Lessor under this Lease against any sum owing by Lessee hereunder. 
  
 (x) To seek any equitable relief available to Lessor, including, without
limitation, the right of specific performance. 
  
 All powers and
remedies given by this Section to Lessor, subject to applicable law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another or of any other right or remedy or of any other powers and remedies available to Lessor under this Lease, by judicial
proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements of Lessee contained in this Lease, and no delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default shall impair any other or subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto. Every power and remedy given by this Section or by law to Lessor may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by Lessor, subject at all times to Lessor’s right in its sole judgment to discontinue any work commenced by Lessor or change any course of action undertaken by Lessor. 
  
 If Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any of its obligations under this Lease or in the event of an emergency, then,
without waiving any Event of Default which may result from such failure or emergency, Lessor may, but without any obligation to do so, take all actions, including, without limitation, entry upon any or all of the Property to perform Lessee’s
obligations, immediately and without notice in the case of an emergency and upon five days written notice to Lessee in all other cases. All expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with performing such obligations, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date any such expenses were incurred by Lessor until the date of payment by Lessee, shall constitute Additional Rental and shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor upon demand. 
  
 25. Liens; Mortgage, Subordination
and Attornment. Lessor’s interest in this Lease and/or the Property shall not be subordinate to any liens or encumbrances placed upon the Property by or resulting from any act of Lessee, and nothing herein contained shall be construed
to require such subordination by Lessor. Lessee shall keep the Property free from any liens for work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Lessee (except pursuant to the loan from Lender). NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT, UNLESS
LESSOR’S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT IS OBTAINED, LESSEE IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE OR ALLOW TO BE PLACED ANY LIEN, MORTGAGE, DEED OF TRUST, DEED TO SECURE DEBT, SECURITY INTEREST OR ENCUMBRANCE OF ANY KIND UPON ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY, THE
PERSONAL PROPERTY OR LESSEE’S LEASEHOLD INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY, AND ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE VOID. FURTHERMORE, ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE DEEMED A TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH LESSOR’S RELATIONSHIP WITH LESSEE
AND LESSOR’S OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY. 
  
 This Lease at all
times shall automatically be subordinate to the Mortgage and to the lien of any and all ground leases, mortgages, deeds to secure debt and trust deeds now or hereafter placed upon the Property by Lessor, and Lessee covenants and agrees to execute
and deliver, upon demand, such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of the Mortgage and any or all such ground leases, mortgages, deeds to secure debt or trust deeds as shall be desired by Lessor, or any present or proposed
mortgagees or lenders under deeds to secure debt or trust deeds. 
  

 - 24 - 

 If any landlord, mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other secured party validly exercises its right to elect
to have this Lease and the interest of Lessee hereunder be superior to the Mortgage or any such ground lease, mortgage, deed to secure debt or trust deed and evidences such election by written notice given to Lessee, then this Lease and the interest
of Lessee hereunder shall be deemed superior to any such Mortgage, ground lease, mortgage, deed to secure debt or trust deed, whether this Lease was executed before or after such Mortgage, ground lease, mortgage, deed to secure debt or trust deed
and in that event such landlord, mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other secured party shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as if it had been executed and delivered prior to the execution and delivery of such Mortgage, ground lease,
mortgage, deed to secure debt or trust deed and had been assigned to such landlord, mortgagee, receiver, Lender or other secured party. 
  
 Although the foregoing provisions shall be self-operative and no future instrument of subordination shall be required, upon request by Lessor, Lessee
shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required for such purposes, and in the event Lessee fails so to do within 10 days after demand, Lessee does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor as its agent and
attorney-in-fact and in its name, place and stead so to do, which appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest. 
  
 In the event any purchaser or assignee of Lender at a foreclosure sale acquires title to the Property, or in the event Lender or any assignee otherwise
succeeds to the rights of Lessor as landlord under this Lease, Lessee shall attorn to Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be (a “Successor Lessor”), and recognize the Successor Lessor as lessor under this Lease, and, if
the Successor Lessor in its sole discretion elects to recognize Lessee’s tenancy under this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Lessor and Lessee, provided that the Successor Lessor
shall only be liable for any obligations of the lessor under this Lease which accrue after the date that such Successor Lessor acquires title. The foregoing provision shall be self operative and effective without the execution of any further
instruments. 
  
 Lessee shall give written notice to any lender of
Lessor having a recorded lien upon the Property or any part thereof of which Lessee has been notified of any breach or default by Lessor of any of its obligations under this Lease simultaneously with the giving of such notice to Lessor, and Lessee
shall give such lender at least 60 days beyond any notice period to which Lessor might be entitled to cure such default before Lessee may exercise any remedy with respect thereto. Upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall also provide Lessee’s most
recent audited financial statements to Lessor or any such lender and certify the continuing accuracy of such financial statements in such manner as Lessor or such lender may request. 
  
 26. Estoppel Certificate. A. At any time, and from time to time, Lessee shall, promptly and in no event later
than 15 days after a request from Lessor or Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor or Lender a certificate in the form supplied by Lessor, Lender or any present or proposed mortgagee or purchaser designated by Lessor, certifying: (i)
that Lessee has accepted the Property (or, if Lessee has not done so, that Lessee has not accepted the Property, and specifying the reasons therefor); (ii) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if modified,
setting forth all modifications), or, if this Lease is not in full force and effect, the certificate shall so specify the reasons therefor; (iii) the commencement and expiration dates of the Lease Term, including the terms of any extension options
of Lessee; (iv) the date to which the rentals have been paid under this Lease and the amount thereof then payable; (v) whether there are then any existing defaults by Lessor in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, and, if there are
any such defaults, specifying the nature and extent thereof; (vi) that no notice has been received by Lessee of any default under this Lease which has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in the certificate; (vii) the capacity of the
person executing such certificate, and that such person is duly authorized to execute the same on behalf of Lessee; (viii) that neither Lessor nor Lender has actual involvement in the management or control of decision making related to the
operational aspects or the day-to-day operations of the Property; and (ix) any other information reasonably requested by Lessor, Lender or such present or proposed mortgagee or purchaser. 
  

 - 25 - 

 B. If Lessee shall fail or refuse to sign a certificate in accordance with the provisions of this Section
within 15 days following a request by Lessor, Lessee irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver the certificate to any such third party, it being stipulated that such power of attorney is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable and binding; provided, however, that Lessor’s execution and delivery of such certificate on behalf of Lessee shall not cure any default arising by reason of Lessee’s failure to execute and deliver such
certificate. 
  
 27. Assignment. A. If Lender shall
succeed to the rights of Lessor as landlord under this Lease, whether through foreclosure of the liens of the Mortgage, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, Lender, as lessor, shall have the right to sell or convey all, but not less than all,
of the Property or to assign its right, title and interest as Lessor under this Lease in whole, but not in part. In the event of any such sale or assignment other than a security assignment, Lessee shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee and
Lessor shall be relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale
(provided, however, nothing in this Section 27 shall impose liability on Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as lessor, for the obligations of Lessor accruing under this Lease prior to the time Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as the case may
be, succeeds to Lessor’s rights as lessor under this Lease). Otherwise, and except as permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lessor shall not have the right to sell or convey the Property or to assign its right, title and interest as lessor
under this Lease in whole or in part. 
  
 B. Lessee acknowledges
that Lessor has relied both on the business experience and creditworthiness of Lessee and upon the particular purposes for which Lessee intends to use the Property in entering into this Lease. Without the prior written consent of Lessor: (i) Lessee
shall not assign, transfer, convey, pledge or mortgage this Lease or any interest therein, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) no Change of Control shall occur; (iii) no interest in any of the Lessee Parties shall be pledged, encumbered,
hypothecated or assigned as collateral for any obligation of any of the Lessee Parties, and (iv) Lessee shall not sublet all or any part of the Property (each of items (i) through (iv) are hereinafter referred to as a “Prohibited
Transaction”). In addition, no interest in any of the Lessee Parties, or in any individual or person owning directly or indirectly any interest in any of the Lessee Parties, shall be transferred, assigned or conveyed to any individual or person
whose property or interests are subject to being blocked under any of the Terrorism Laws and/or who is in violation of any of the Terrorism Laws, and any such transfer, assignment or conveyance shall not be effective until the transferee has
provided written certification to Lessor that (A) the transferee or any person who owns directly or indirectly any interest in transferee, is not an individual or entity whose property or interests are subject to being blocked under any of the
Terrorism Laws or is otherwise in violation of the Terrorism Laws, and (B) the transferee has taken reasonable measures to assure than any individual or entity who owns directly or indirectly any interest in transferee, is not an individual or
entity whose property or interests are subject to being blocked under any of the Terrorism Laws or is otherwise in violation of the Terrorism Laws. 
  
 Lessor’s consent to a Prohibited Transaction shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as Lessor shall determine in its sole
discretion, including, without limitation, (i) Lessor having obtained the consent of Lender to the Prohibited Transaction, (ii) Lessee having executed and delivered such modifications to the terms of this Lease as Lessor shall request, (iii) the
Prohibited Transaction having been approved by each of the rating agencies which have issued ratings in connection with any Securitization as well as any other rating agency selected by Lender, (iv) the proposed transferee, as applicable, having
assumed this Lease (as modified pursuant to clause (ii) above), (v) payment to Lessor of any rentals owing under a sublease which are in excess of any rentals owing under this Lease, and (vi) the proposed transferee having satisfactory
creditworthiness and satisfactory experience operating a Permitted Concept. In addition, any such consent shall be conditioned upon the payment by Lessee to Lessor of (x) a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding principal balance of
the Note and (y) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with such consent, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. The provisions of this Section shall apply to every Prohibited Transaction
regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lessor has consented to any previous Prohibited Transaction. No assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Property shall 

  

 - 26 - 

 
relieve Lessee of its obligations under this Lease or any guarantor of this Lease of any of its obligations under its guaranty. Any Prohibited Transaction in
violation of this Section shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor. 
  
 28. This Section Has Been Left Blank Intentionally. 
  
 29. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals or other instruments required or permitted to be given by either party pursuant to this Lease

 30. Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of the
Property after the expiration of the term hereof, Lessee, at Lessor’s option and within Lessor’s sole discretion, may be deemed a tenant on a month-to-month basis and shall continue to pay rentals and other sums in the amounts herein
provided, except that the Base Monthly Rental shall be automatically doubled, and comply with all the terms of this Lease; provided that nothing herein nor the acceptance of rent by Lessor shall be deemed a consent to such holding over. Lessee shall
defend, indemnify, protect and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from Lessee’s failure to surrender possession upon the expiration of the Lease Term, including, without limitation, any claims
made by any succeeding lessee. 
  

 - 27 - 

 31. Landlord’s Lien/Security Interest. Lessee agrees that Lessor shall have a
landlord’s lien, and additionally hereby separately grants to Lessor a security interest, in, on and against all Personal Property, which lien and security interest shall secure the payment of all rental and other charges payable by Lessee to
Lessor under the terms hereof and all other obligations of Lessee to Lessor under this Lease and which lien shall be subordinate to the lien of Lender. Lessee shall maintain title to the Personal Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
charges and security interests of any nature whatsoever, except for liens pursuant to the loan from Lender. Lessee authorizes Lessor to file financing statements with respect to the Personal Property, continuation statements with respect thereto,
and any amendments to such financing statements which may be necessitated by reason of any of the changes described in the last sentence of this Section. Furthermore, at any time, and from time to time, Lessee shall, promptly and in no event later
than 15 days after a request from Lessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor such financing statements and other documents as Lessor may then deem appropriate or necessary to perfect and maintain said lien and security interest. Lessee
expressly acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies of Lessor whether hereunder or at law or in equity, in the event of any default of Lessee hereunder, Lessor shall have any and all rights and remedies
granted a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the state of Arizona (the “UCC”). Lessee represents that its exact legal name and state of incorporation is as set forth in the first paragraph of this Lease.
Lessee shall preserve its current form of organization and shall not change its legal name, its state of formation, nor, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, merge with or into, or consolidate with, any other entity without
providing, in each case, Lessor with 30 days’ prior written notice and obtaining Lessor’s prior written consent (to the extent such consent is required under Section 27 of this Lease). Lessee agrees that, notwithstanding any provision in
the UCC to the contrary, Lessee shall not file a termination statement of any financing statement filed by Lessor in connection with any security interest granted under this Lease if Lessor reasonably objects to the filing of such termination
statement. 
  
 32. Removal of Personal Property. At
the expiration of the Lease Term, and if Lessee is not then in breach hereof, Lessee may remove all Personal Property from the Property. Lessee shall repair any damage caused by such removal and shall leave the Property broom clean and in good and
working condition and repair inside and out. Any property of Lessee left on the Property on the tenth day following the expiration of the Lease Term shall, at Lessor’s option, automatically and immediately become the property of Lessor.

  
 33. Financial Statements. Within 45 days after
the end of each fiscal quarter and within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Lessee, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor and Lender (i) complete financial statements of the Lessee Parties including a balance sheet, profit and loss statement,
statement of cash flows and all other related schedules for the fiscal period then ended; and (ii) income statements for the business at the Property. All such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP from period to period, and
shall be certified to be accurate and complete by Lessee (or the Treasurer or other appropriate officer of Lessee). Lessee understands that Lessor and Lender will rely upon such financial statements and Lessee represents that such reliance is
reasonable. In the event the property and business at the Property is ordinarily consolidated with other business for financial statement purposes, such financial statements shall be prepared on a consolidated basis showing separately the sales,
profits and losses, assets and liabilities pertaining to the Property with the basis for allocation of overhead of other charges being clearly set forth. The financial statements delivered to Lessor and Lender need not be audited, but Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor and Lender copies of any audited financial statements of Lessee which may be prepared, as soon as they are available. 
  
 34. Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil
commotion, fire or other casualty beyond the control of the party obligated to perform shall excuse the performance by such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage, except the obligations imposed with regard to rental and
other monies to be paid by Lessee pursuant to this Lease and any indemnification obligations imposed upon Lessee under this Lease. 
  

 - 28 - 

 35. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every provision
of this Lease in which time is a factor. 
  
 36.
Lessor’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Lease, it is specifically understood and agreed, such agreement being a primary consideration for the execution of this Lease by Lessor, that (i) there
shall be absolutely no personal liability on the part of Lessor, its successors or assigns and the trustees, members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents of Lessor and its successors or assigns, to Lessee with respect
to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, (ii) Lessee waives all claims, demands and causes of action against the trustees, members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents of Lessor and its successors or
assigns in the event of any breach by Lessor of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Lessor, and (iii) Lessee shall look solely to the Property for the satisfaction of each and every remedy of Lessee in the
event of any breach by Lessor of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Lessor, or any other matter in connection with this Lease or the Property, such exculpation of liability to be absolute and without any
exception whatsoever. 
  
 37. Consent of Lessor. (a)
Unless specified otherwise herein, Lessor’s consent to any request of Lessee may be conditioned or withheld in Lessor’s sole discretion. Lessor shall have no liability for damages resulting from Lessor’s failure to give any consent,
approval or instruction reserved to Lessor, Lessee’s sole remedy in any such event being an action for injunctive relief. 
  
 (b) It is understood and agreed that to the extent Lessor is required to obtain the consent, approval, agreement or waiver of Lender with respect to a
matter for which Lessor’s approval has been requested under this Lease, Lessor shall in no event be deemed to have unreasonably withheld Lessor’s consent, approval, agreement or waiver thereof if Lender shall not have given its approval if
required. 
  
 38. Waiver and Amendment. No provision
of this Lease shall be deemed waived or amended except by a written instrument unambiguously setting forth the matter waived or amended and signed by the party against which enforcement of such waiver or amendment is sought. Waiver of any matter
shall not be deemed a waiver of the same or any other matter on any future occasion. No acceptance by Lessor of an amount less than the monthly rent and other payments stipulated to be due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a payment
on account of the earliest such rent or other payments then due or in arrears nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any such payment be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s right to collect any unpaid amounts or an
accord and satisfaction. 
  
 39. Successors Bound.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of each of the parties
hereto. 
  
 40. No Merger. The voluntary or other
surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not result in a merger of Lessor’s and Lessee’s estates, and shall, at the option of Lessor, either terminate any or all existing subleases or subtenancies, or
operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or all of such subleases or subtenancies. 
  
 41. Captions. Captions are used throughout this Lease for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in any manner in the construction or interpretation hereof. 
  
 42. Severability. The provisions of this Lease shall be deemed
severable. If any part of this Lease shall be held unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect, and such unenforceable provision shall be reformed by such court so as to give maximum
legal effect to the intention of the parties as expressed therein. 
  

 - 29 - 

 43. Characterization. A. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the business
relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is solely that of a long-term commercial lease between landlord and tenant and has been entered into by both parties in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains contained herein. None
of the agreements contained herein, is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Lessor and Lessee, to make them joint venturers, to make Lessee an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or
employee of Lessor, nor to make Lessor in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Lessee. 
  
 B. This Lease shall be interpreted and construed in a fair and impartial manner without regard to such factors as the party which prepared the instrument,
the relative bargaining powers of the parties or the domicile of any party. Whenever in this Lease any words of obligation or duty are used, such words or expressions shall have the same force and effect as though made in the form of a covenant.

  
 44. Easements. During the Lease Term Lessor
shall have the right to grant utility easements on, over, under and above the Property without the prior consent of Lessee, provided that such easements will not materially interfere with Lessee’s long-term use of the Property. 
  
 45. Bankruptcy. A. As a material inducement to Lessor executing
this Lease, Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor is relying upon (i) the financial condition and specific operating experience of Lessee and Lessee’s obligation to use the Property specifically in accordance with system-wide requirements
imposed from time to time on Permitted Concepts, (ii) Lessee’s timely performance of all of its obligations under this Lease as to the Property notwithstanding the entry of an order for relief under the Code for Lessee and (iii) all defaults
under this Lease as to the Property being cured promptly and this Lease being assumed within 60 days of any order for relief entered under the Code for Lessee, or this Lease being rejected within such 60 day period and the Property surrendered to
Lessor. 
  
 Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained in this Lease and for other good and valuable consideration, Lessee hereby agrees that: 
  
 (i) All obligations that accrue or become due under this Lease (including the obligation to pay rent), from and after the date that an Action is commenced
shall be timely performed exactly as provided in this Lease and any failure to so perform shall be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor; 
  
 (ii) Any and all obligations under this Lease that accrue or become due from and after the date that an Action is commenced and that are not paid as
required by this Lease shall, in the amount of such rents, constitute administrative expense claims allowable under the Code with priority of payment at least equal to that of any other actual and necessary expenses incurred after the commencement
of the Action; 
  
 (iii) Any extension of the time period within
which Lessee may assume or reject this Lease without an obligation to cause all obligations accruing or coming due under this Lease from and after the date that an Action is commenced to be performed as and when required under this Lease shall be
harmful and prejudicial to Lessor; 
  
 (iv) Any time period
designated as the period within which Lessee must cure all defaults and compensate Lessor for all pecuniary losses which extends beyond the date of assumption of this Lease shall be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor; 
  
 (v) Any assignment of this Lease must result in all terms and conditions of
this Lease being assumed by the assignee without alteration or amendment, and any assignment which results in an amendment or alteration of the terms and conditions of this Lease without the express written consent of Lessor shall be harmful and
prejudicial to Lessor; 
  

 - 30 - 

 (vi) Any proposed assignment of this Lease to an assignee: (a) that will not use the Property
specifically as a Permitted Concept or (b) that does not possess financial condition, operating performance and experience characteristics equal to or better than the financial condition, operating performance and experience of the Lessee Parties as
of the Effective Date, shall be harmful and prejudicial to Lessor; 
  
 (vii) The rejection (or deemed rejection) of this Lease for any reason whatsoever shall constitute cause for immediate relief from the automatic stay provisions of the Code, and Lessee stipulates that such automatic stay shall be lifted
immediately and possession of the Property will be delivered to Lessor immediately without the necessity of any further action by Lessor; and 
  
 (viii) This Lease shall at all times be treated as consistent with the specific characterizations set forth in Section 3 of this Lease, and assumption or
rejection of this Lease shall be (a) in its entirety, (b) for the Property, and (c) in strict accordance with the specific terms and conditions of this Lease. 
  

B. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s rights or remedies under the Code or applicable law to oppose any assumption
and/or assignment of this Lease, to require timely performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, or to regain possession of the Property as a result of the failure of Lessee to comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease or the
Code. 
  
 C. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
contrary, all amounts payable by Lessee to or on behalf of Lessor under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as such, shall constitute “rent” for the purposes of the Code. 
  
 D. For purposes of this Section addressing the rights and obligations of
Lessor and Lessee in the event that an Action is commenced, the term “Lessee” shall include Lessee’s successor in bankruptcy, whether a trustee, Lessee as debtor in possession or other responsible person. 
  
 46. No Offer. No contractual or other rights shall exist
between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the Property until both have executed and delivered this Lease, notwithstanding that deposits may have been received by Lessor and notwithstanding that Lessor may have delivered to Lessee an unexecuted copy
of this Lease. The submission of this Lease to Lessee shall be for examination purposes only, and does not and shall not constitute a reservation of or an option for Lessee to lease or otherwise create any interest on the part of Lessee in the
Property. 
  
 47. Other Documents. Each of the
parties agrees to do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, documents and assurances as may be reasonably required or deemed advisable to carry into effect the purposes of
this Lease, to perfect any lien or security interest granted in this Lease and for the better assuring and confirming of all of Lessor’s rights, powers and remedies under this Lease. 
  
 48. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any judicial or other adversarial proceeding between the parties
concerning this Lease, to the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. In addition, Lessor
shall, upon demand, be entitled to all attorneys’ fees and all other costs incurred in the preparation and service of any notice or demand hereunder, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced. 
  
 49. Entire Agreement. This Lease and any other instruments or
agreements referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no other representations, warranties or agreements except as herein provided. Without limiting the foregoing,
Lessee specifically acknowledges that neither Lessor nor any agent, officer, employee or 

  

 - 31 - 

 
representative of Lessor has made any representation or warranty regarding the projected profitability of the business to be conducted on the Property.
Furthermore, Lessee acknowledges that Lessor did not prepare or assist in the preparation of any of the projected figures used by Lessee in analyzing the economic viability and feasibility of the business to be conducted by Lessee at the Property.

  
 50. Forum Selection; Jurisdiction; Venue; Choice of
Law. Lessee acknowledges that this Lease was substantially negotiated in the State of Georgia, the executed Lease was delivered in the State of Georgia, all payments under this Lease will be delivered in the State of Georgia (unless
otherwise directed by Lessor or its successors) and there are substantial contacts between the parties and the transactions contemplated herein and the State of Georgia. For purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of this Lease, the parties
hereto expressly submit to the jurisdiction of all federal and state courts located in the State of Georgia. Lessee and Lessor consent that they may be served with any process or paper by registered mail or by personal service within or without the
State of Georgia in accordance with applicable law. Furthermore, Lessee and Lessor waive and agree not to assert in any such action, suit or proceeding that they are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the action, suit or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper. The creation of this Lease and the rights and remedies of Lessor with respect to the Property, as provided herein and by the laws of the
states in which the Property is located, as applicable, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the states in which the Property is located, as applicable, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. With
respect to other provisions of this Lease, this Lease shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or restrict the right of Lessor
or Lessee to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts located in the states in which the Property is located to the extent Lessor or Lessee deems such proceeding necessary or advisable to exercise remedies available under this Lease.

  
 51. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. 
  
 52. Memorandum of Lease. Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Lessor and Lessee are executing the Memorandum to be recorded in the applicable real property records with respect to the Property. Further, upon
Lessor’s request, Lessee agrees to execute and acknowledge a termination of lease and/or quit claim deed in recordable form with respect to the Property to be held by Lessor until the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.

  
 53. No Brokerage. Lessor and Lessee represent
and warrant to each other that they have had no conversation or negotiations with any broker concerning the leasing of the Property. Each of Lessor and Lessee agrees to protect, indemnify, save and keep harmless the other, against and from all
liabilities, claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of, resulting from or in connection with their breach of the foregoing warranty and representation. 
  
 54. Waiver of Jury Trial and Punitive, Consequential, Special and
Indirect Damages. LESSOR AND LESSEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ISSUES PRESENTED IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY
EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER OR ITS SUCCESSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LESSOR AND LESSEE, LESSEE’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PROPERTY, AND/OR ANY CLAIM FOR
INJURY OR DAMAGE, OR ANY EMERGENCY OR STATUTORY REMEDY. THIS WAIVER BY THE PARTIES HERETO OF ANY RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THEIR BARGAIN. FURTHERMORE, LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER MAY HAVE TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND INDIRECT DAMAGES FROM THE OTHER AND ANY OF THE OTHER’S AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES OR ANY OF THEIR SUCCESSORS
WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ISSUES PRESENTED IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER 

  

 - 32 - 

 
PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER OR ANY OF THE OTHER’S AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS OR EMPLOYEES OR ANY OF THEIR SUCCESSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING
OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR ANY DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR RELATED HERETO. THE WAIVER BY LESSEE AND LESSOR OF ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND INDIRECT DAMAGES HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BY THE
PARTIES HERETO AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THEIR BARGAIN. 
  
 55. Intentionally Omitted.. 
  
 56. Lender’s
Rights. A. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that (i) Lessor has collaterally assigned all of its right, title and interest under this Lease to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents and (ii) upon the exercise of Lender’s remedies set forth
in such Loan Documents, all of the rights, powers and privileges of Lessor shall be deemed the rights, powers and privileges of Lender and Lender shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights and remedies of “Lessor” under this Lease.
Lessee hereby consents to, and no further consent by Lessee shall be required for, any further assignment of rights of Lessor hereunder or in connection with any transfer by Lender. All notices, certificates, reports or other information required to
be delivered to Lessor under this Lease shall be delivered simultaneously to Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 29. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the collateral assignment of this Lease to Lender shall not be
deemed to create any obligation of or liability for Lender. 
  
 B.
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lender may rely on all of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Lease, that Lender is an intended third-party beneficiary of such representations, warranties and covenants and that Lender
shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity as a result of a breach of such representations, warranties and covenants, including to the extent applicable, the right of subrogation. 
  
 C. Lessee agrees that any consent, approval, agreement or waiver provided by
Lessor pursuant to this Lease shall not be valid unless consented to in writing by Lender. 
  
 57. Document Review. In the event Lessee makes any request upon Lessor requiring Lessor or the attorneys of Lessor to review and/or prepare (or cause to be reviewed and/or prepared) any documents, plans,
specifications or other submissions in connection with or arising out of this Lease, then Lessee shall (x) reimburse Lessor upon demand therefor for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with such review and/or
preparation, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and (y) pay Lessor a reasonable processing and review fee. 
  
 58. Terrorism Law Policies. Lessee shall require, and shall take reasonable measures to comply with the requirement, that no individual or
entity owning directly or indirectly any interest in any of the Lessee Parties is an individual or entity whose property or interests are subject to being blocked under any of the Terrorism Laws or is otherwise in violation of any of the Terrorism
Laws. Lessee shall adopt and maintain adequate policies, procedures and controls to ensure that the Lessee Parties are in compliance with all Terrorism Laws (“Lessee Terrorism Laws Policies”), which Lessee Terrorism Laws Policies shall be
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor in writing if any individual or entity owning directly or indirectly any interest in any of the Lessee Parties or any director, officer, member, manager or
partner of any of such holders is an individual or entity whose property or interests are subject to being blocked under any of the Terrorism Laws or is otherwise in violation of any of the Terrorism Laws, or is under investigation by any
Governmental Authority for, or has been charge with or convicted of, drug trafficking, terrorist-related activities or any violation Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has been assessed civil penalties under these or related laws, or has had funds seized
or forfeited in an action under these or related laws. Lessee further agrees to make the Lessee Terrorism Laws Policies, together with the information collected thereby concerning the Lessee Parties or any individual or entity owning directly or
indirectly any interest in any of the Lessee Parties, available to Lessor upon request.
