WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller
wish to amend and/or supplement certain terms and conditions of the Contract as hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Contract, it is agreed as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and
correct and are incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Contract
unless otherwise defined herein.
2. Condition to
Closing. Closing on the Property shall be conditioned upon the simultaneous closing under those certain purchase and sale agreements
as follows:
(i) Restaurant Asset Purchase Agreement
by and between Ocean Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation, as “Seller” and Ark Shuckers, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, as “Buyer” for the “business”, “restaurant” as described therein (the “Restaurant

liability company, as Buyer, for those assets describe therein (the “Island Beach Agreement”).
The Restaurant Agreement and the Island

Accordingly, should
closing fail to occur for any reason, or no reason, under the Other Agreements, the Contract shall be deemed terminated and the
Deposit paid under the Contract and the Other Agreements shall be returned to the Buyer named under the Other Agreements, unless
it is determined that a buyer (listed in the above “Other Agreements”) is in default under the Other Agreements, and
Seller is not in default under this Contract or the Other Agreements, then, in such case, Seller shall be entitled to retain the
Deposit as set forth in the Contract and the Other Agreements.
3. Buyer’s Intended Use. Units C-1, C-2,

representatives reasonable access to the Location and Acquired Assets from the date hereof and through the Closing Date provided
that Restaurant Asset Buyer gives Restaurant Asset Seller reasonable prior notice and Restaurant Asset Buyer is accompanied by
Restaurant Asset Seller or an agent thereof and shall promptly furnish to Restaurant Asset Buyer and its representatives such information
and records relative to the Business and the Acquired Assets as they shall, at any time and from time to time, reasonably request
in Restaurant Asset Seller’s possession,
including but not limited
to, financial reports of operations and reports and other information as to the status of Restaurant Asset Seller’s liabilities
to its vendors.
7.8 Exclusivity
while the parties are under contract. Restaurant Asset Seller acknowledges that Restaurant Asset Buyer has devoted and will
devote substantial time and has incurred and will incur out of pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses)
in connection with conducting business, financial, and legal due diligence investigations of Restaurant Asset Seller and the Business,
drafting and negotiating this Agreement and all related agreements and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
In the event that Restaurant Asset Seller violates any provision of this Agreement, Restaurant Asset Buyer shall have such remedies
as are set forth herein. To induce Restaurant Asset Buyer to take the actions contemplated under this Agreement, the Buyer under
the Hotel Asset Agreement and the Real Property Buyer under the Real Property Contract to incur such expenses, from the date of
this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement Restaurant Asset Seller will not directly or
indirectly: (a) enter into any written or oral agreement or understanding with any person or entity (other than Restaurant Asset
Buyer) regarding a sale (directly or indirectly including by way of merger or consolidation) of all or any part of the Business
or the Acquired Assets or the use of the Location; or (b) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposals or offer
from any person or entity (other than Restaurant Asset Buyer) regarding the possibility of any such sale or such use or participate
in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate
in any other manner any effort or attempt by any person to do or seek any of the foregoing.
7.9 Pre-Closing
Obligations. Restaurant Asset Seller shall promptly pay, perform and discharge in full and in accordance with their respective
terms, all liabilities and obligations relating to the Acquired Assets and/or the Business which accrue prior to the Closing (regardless
of when they actually arise), and all other Excluded Liabilities, and Restaurant Asset Buyer shall have no responsibility therefor.
7.10 Further Actions.
From the date hereof to the Closing or termination of this Agreement, the Restaurant Asset Seller will provide prompt notice to
Restaurant Asset Buyer of any fact, condition, event or occurrence that will or is reasonably likely to result in the failure of
any of the conditions contained in this Agreement to be satisfied or the breach of any representation or warranty set forth herein.
7.11 Liquor License.
The parties acknowledge that, subject to those requirements and conditions established from time to time by the applicable
governmental and quasi-governmental authorities (i.e., State of Florida and St. Lucie County), the liquor license is not freely
assignable, and that Restaurant Asset Buyer and the principals of the Restaurant Asset Buyer shall be obligated to apply for a
liquor license in its name. The Restaurant Asset Seller will reasonably cooperate and assist the Restaurant Asset Buyer in all
matters relating to the transfer and assignment of its liquor license to the Restaurant Asset Buyer including, without limitation,
the execution and delivery of all documentation required by the governmental authorities with
reference thereto, but at no cost or expense to the Restaurant Asset Seller. Without in any manner limiting to the foregoing, Restaurant
Asset Seller will, within a reasonable time of Restaurant Asset Buyer’s request execute the Division of Alcoholic Beverages
and Tobacco applications in duplicate and have its signatures notarized. Restaurant Asset Seller will also execute the required
surcharge form for transfer of licenses. Restaurant Asset Buyer
shall use the applications
to determine Restaurant Asset Seller’s status at the Department of Revenue with regard to the sales tax and at the Division
of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco with regard to surcharges. Restaurant Asset Seller and Restaurant Asset Buyer agree to use their
best efforts to immediately cure any deficiencies caused by Restaurant Asset Seller or Restaurant Asset Buyer, as the case may
be, that may affect Restaurant Asset Buyer’s ability to obtain a transfer of or the issuance of a temporary the liquor license.
Restaurant Asset Buyer will apply for a temporary liquor license to be issued on or before the Closing Date. Restaurant
Asset Seller shall provide Restaurant Asset Buyer with any and all prior reports issued by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants

8. Indemnification.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Closing Escrow Agreement the Restaurant Asset
Seller agrees to and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Restaurant Asset Buyer and its managers, members, employees, agents,
representatives (collectively, the “Restaurant Asset Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any
and all losses, damages, actions, lawsuits, demands, proceedings, judgments, deficiencies, costs, expenses (including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and governmental actions of every kind, nature or description (collectively, “Losses”)
which arise out of or relate to any of the following: (a) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Restaurant
Asset Seller in the Acquisition Agreements; (b) any failure by the Restaurant Asset Seller to perform, comply with or observe any
one of more of its covenants, agreement or obligations contained in the Acquisition Agreements; If there is any indemnification
claim hereunder, Restaurant Asset Buyer shall promptly cause notice of the claim to be delivered to the Restaurant Asset Seller.
The Restaurant Asset Seller shall defend such claim at its sole cost and expense with legal counsel selected by the Restaurant
Asset Seller. In the event Seller is not pursuing the payment, settlement or defense of the claim in a commercially reasonable
manner to the detriment of the Restaurant Asset Buyer, the Restaurant Asset Buyer and its counsel shall have the
right to participate in the defense of any such claim and/or compromise or settle the claim and any such expense shall be paid
out of and limited to any and all monies in the Escrow Fund being held by Restaurant Asset Seller’s attorney pursuant to
that certain Escrow Agreement executed by Restaurant Asset Seller and Restaurant Asset Buyer of even date herewith. Similarly,
if notice is given and the Restaurant Asset Seller fails to promptly (for purposes herein, “promptly” shall be deemed
to be within 30 days) assume or assert the defense of the claim in good faith, the claim may be defended, comprised or settled
by the Restaurant Asset Buyer without the Restaurant Asset Seller’s consent and any expense incurred in defending the claim
or any compromise or settlement made shall be paid out of the Escrow Fund up to the amount of the Escrow Fund then in the possession
of the Escrow Agent. It is understood and agreed that the Restaurant Asset Seller’s obligations hereunder and
under the Escrow Agreement as to any expenses, costs or otherwise and in connection with an indemnification claim shall be limited
to the amount of the Escrow Fund. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 8 to the contrary, Restaurant Asset Buyer may retain
control over the defense (at the cost of the Restaurant Asset Seller) of any claim hereunder if such claim is for injunctive or
other equitable relief with the expense of such defense being paid out of and limited to any and all monies in the Escrow Fund.
Restaurant Asset Seller cannot settle a matter other than for dollar damages without the consent of Restaurant Asset Buyer. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the terms and conditions of said escrow and the Escrow Fund shall be subject to the
terms of the Escrow Agreement.
9. Post-Closing
Covenants. In addition to other obligations contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto shall perform their respective
obligations under the following covenants after the Closing:
9.1. Taxes.
Restaurant Asset Buyer shall pay any and all sales, use, transfer or other taxes due or owing in connection with the transfer and
conveyance of the Assets hereunder, and Restaurant Asset Seller shall have no liability therefor.
9.2. Restaurant
Asset Seller’s Employees. Restaurant Asset Seller acknowledges that on or after the Closing Date, Restaurant Asset Buyer
may hire one or more persons previously employed by Restaurant Asset Seller, that any such persons shall be treated as new hires
by Restaurant Asset Buyer and that Restaurant Asset Buyer’s employment of such persons shall in no way limit Restaurant Asset
Seller’s obligations to pay any amounts or provide any benefits to such persons (owed to such person as a result of their
employment prior to Closing) in connection with their employment by Restaurant Asset Seller or the termination thereof. Nothing
herein shall obligate Restaurant Asset Buyer to employ such employees or to employ them for any specific time period or to provide
them with any specific benefits or pay rate.
9.3. Restrictive
Covenants. The Restaurant Asset Seller acknowledges and agrees that Restaurant Asset Buyer would not have entered into this
Agreement to purchase the Acquired Assets but for the following restrictive covenants, that the provisions of this Section
9.3 are supported by good and sufficient consideration, that the Restaurant Asset Seller (including, but not limited to, officers,
shareholders (and their spouses, if any), employees and agents thereof) possesses information and expertise relating to the Business
and the Acquired Assets that will enable them to injure Restaurant Asset Buyer and diminish the value of the investment by Restaurant
Asset Buyer in the Business and the Acquired Assets if the Restaurant Asset Seller should engage in any business that is competitive
with the Business conducted by Restaurant Asset Buyer. The Restaurant Asset Seller hereby represents and warrants that the Restaurant
Asset Seller (including, but not limited to the officers and shareholders (and their spouses, if any) thereof,) do not own a restaurant
that operates within the restricted area (hereinafter defined) and they hereby covenant and agree to deliver to Restaurant Asset
Buyer during the Due Diligence Period, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements, in a form acceptable to Restaurant Asset
Buyer and Restaurant Asset Seller, executed by all Key Personnel (i.e., shareholders of Restaurant Asset Seller), as identified
by Restaurant Asset Seller and provided as a list to be adopted as Schedule 9.3 during the Due Diligence Period. This separate
non-competition agreement shall provide (a) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date (the “Restriction Period”)
Key Personnel shall not: within twenty-five (25) miles of the Location, directly or as an owner, officer, employee, agent, or
otherwise, operate a restaurant, bar, catering hall or banquet facility either with the name “Shuckers” or
any similar name and/or menu, design, or style of service similar that of the Restaurant Business; (b) for a period of two (2)
years after the Closing Date directly or indirectly, as an owner, officer, employee, agent, or otherwise solicit for employment
or employ any employees of the Business. If any provision of this Section 9.3 is violated, in whole or in part, Restaurant
Asset Buyer shall be entitled in addition to damages upon application to any court of proper jurisdiction, to seek a temporary
restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, to restrain and enjoin such violation without prejudice as
to any other remedies Restaurant Asset Buyer may have at law or in equity and Restaurant Asset Seller hereby consents to the issuance
thereof by any court of
competent
jurisdiction. The Restaurant Asset Seller agrees that the restrictions in this Section 9.3 are reasonable and necessary
for the protection of Restaurant Asset Buyer’s business and goodwill and that Restaurant Asset Buyer will suffer irreparable
injury, for which monetary damages alone may be inadequate, if Restaurant Asset Seller engages in the prohibited conduct. If Restaurant
Asset Buyer seeks a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, Restaurant Asset Buyer shall not
be required to post any bond with respect thereto, or, if a bond is required, it may be posted without surety thereon and Restaurant
Asset Seller waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. If any provision of
this Section 9.3 is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or unreasonable, as to time, geographic
area or business limitation, the parties agree that such provisions shall be and are hereby reformed to the maximum time, geographic
area or business limitation permitted by applicable law and the court in each case shall reduce the necessary terms to a permissible
duration, burden or scope. The parties further agree that, in such event, the remaining restrictions contained herein shall be
severable and shall remain in effect and shall be enforceable independently of each other.
10. Consultation.
Anthony P. Carpentier (“Anthony”) agrees to provide Restaurant Asset Buyer, at no cost to Restaurant Asset Buyer, with
consulting services relating to the operation of the Business on a full time basis (i.e., up to thirty (30) hours per week) for
two (2) weeks prior to Closing and for two (2) weeks after Closing, provided, however, it is understood and agreed that Anthony’s
consulting services shall be subject to Anthony’s availability as set forth in a schedule to be provided by Anthony to Restaurant
Asset Buyer prior to Closing. Thereafter, for the following ninety (90) days, Anthony shall be reasonably available during regular
business hours, as needed, but no more than ten (10) hours total per week. Such assistance may be by telephone or in person at
the discretion of the Restaurant Asset Seller. During the Due Diligence Period and subject to being accompanied by Anthony (or
such representative as appointed by Anthony), Restaurant Asset Buyer or his designated agent shall be permitted to visit the Business
to observe the operation of the Business.

shall also reasonably cooperate with Property Management Buyer following execution of this Agreement to obtain the transfer of
any licenses in favor of Property Management Buyer necessary to run the Business.
2. Purchase

Management Seller (the “Closing Escrow Agreement”) to secure the indemnification obligations of both the Restaurant
Asset Seller and the Property Management Seller under this Agreement for a period of one (1) year after Closing. The Escrow Cash
will be released only in accordance with the terms of the Closing Escrow Agreement. The Property Management Seller acknowledges
and agrees that Property Management Buyer’s remedies under the Closing Escrow Agreement are the Property Management Buyer’s

Management Seller shall pay any and all sales, use, transfer or other taxes due or owing in connection with the transfer and conveyance
of the Assets hereunder, and Property Management Buyer shall have no liability therefor.
·
9.2. Property Management
Seller’s Employees. Property Management Seller acknowledges that on or after the Closing Date, Property Management Buyer
may hire one or more persons previously employed by Property Management Seller, that any such persons shall be treated as new
hires by Property Management Buyer and that Property Management Buyer’s employment of such persons shall in no way limit
Property Management Seller’s obligations to pay any amounts or provide any benefits to such persons in connection with their
employment by Property Management Seller or the termination thereof. Nothing herein shall obligate Property Management Buyer to
employ such employees or to employ them for any specific time period or to provide them with any specific benefits or pay rate.
9.3. Restrictive
Covenants. The Property Management Seller acknowledges and agrees that Property Management Buyer would not have entered
into this Agreement to purchase the Acquired Assets but for the following restrictive covenants, that the provisions of this Section
9.3 are supported by good and sufficient consideration, that the Property Management Seller (including, but not limited
to, officers, shareholders (and their spouses, if any), employees and agents thereof) possesses information and expertise
relating to the Business and the Acquired Assets that will enable them to injure Property Management Buyer and diminish the
value of the investment by Property Management Buyer in the Business and the Acquired Assets if the Property Management
Seller should engage in any business that is competitive with the Business conducted by Property Management Buyer. The
Property Management Seller hereby represents and warrants that the Property Management Seller (including, but not limited to
the officers and shareholders thereof, and their spouses) do not own a management company that operates within the restricted
area (hereinafter defined) and they covenant hereby covenants and agrees to deliver to Property Management Buyer during the
Due Diligence Period, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements, in a form acceptable to Property Management Buyer,
executed by the Shareholders of Property Management Seller. This separate non-competition agreement shall provide (a) for a
period of two (2) years after the Closing Date (the “Restriction Period”) Key Personnel shall not: within
twenty-five (25) miles of the Location, directly or as an owner, officer, employee, agent, or otherwise, operate a
management company either with the name “Island Beach Resort” or any similar name and/or design, or style of
service similar that of the Business; (b) for a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date directly or indirectly, as an
owner, officer,
employee, agent, or otherwise solicit for
employment or employ any employees of the Business. If any provision of this Section 9.3 or Section 7. 1 is violated, in
whole or in part, Property Management Buyer shall be entitled in addition to damages upon application to any court of proper jurisdiction,
to seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, to restrain and enjoin such violation without
prejudice as to any other remedies Property Management Buyer may have at law or in equity and Property Management Seller hereby
consents to the issuance thereof by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Property Management Seller agrees that the restrictions
in this Section 9.3 or Section 7.1 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Property Management Buyer’s
business and goodwill and that Property Management Buyer will suffer irreparable injury, for which monetary damages alone may
be inadequate, if Property Management Seller engages in the prohibited conduct. If Property Management Buyer seeks a temporary
restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction, Property Management Buyer shall not be required to post any
bond with respect thereto, or, if a bond is required, it may be posted without surety thereon and Property Management Seller waives
any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. If any provision of this Section 9.3
is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or unreasonable, as to time, geographic area or business
limitation, the parties agree that such provisions shall be and are hereby reformed to the maximum time, geographic area or business
limitation permitted by applicable law and the court in each case shall reduce the necessary terms to a permissible duration,
burden or scope. The parties further agree that, in such event, the remaining restrictions contained herein shall be severable
and shall remain in effect and shall be enforceable independently of each other. Upon any breach of the covenants contained in
this Section 9.3 whether or not there is litigation, the restrictions as to duration contained therein shall be deemed automatically
extended for a period at least equal to the total period of such breach or breaches.
10. Consultation.

with consulting services relating to the operation of the Business for two (2) weeks prior to Closing on a reasonable basis (i.e.,
20 hours per week) and for two (2) weeks after Closing provided, however, Anthony shall provide, prior to Closing, a schedule

total per week. Such assistance may be by telephone or in person at the discretion of the Property Management Buyer. During the
Due Diligence Period, Property Management Buyer or his designated agent shall be permitted to visit the Business to observe the
operation of the Business.

§2. COMMITMENT;
PURPOSE; AND AVAILABILITY.
§2.1 Commitment
for Advance. Bank agrees, upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make the Advance.
§2.2 Use
of Advance. The Advance shall be deposited in the Borrower Account. Borrower shall then use the funds thus deposited to pay

be advanced directly to Ark Real Estate, Ark Shuckers and Ark Island to facilitate the closing on the purchase of the Real Estate
Assets, the Restaurant Assets and the Property Management Assets. Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that notwithstanding

Ark Shuckers and/or Ark Island and that such portion of the proceeds of the Advance shall be evidenced by and shall constitute
outstanding principal under the Note for all purposes of the Note and this Agreement.
§3. PAYMENT
TERMS.
§3.1 Interest
Rates and Payments. (a) Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Advance, during each Interest Period,
at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (a) the Margin plus (b) the LIBOR Rate for that Interest Period. Borrower shall pay
accrued interest on the
Advance on the last day of each Interest Period, and at Maturity (and, in the case of interest accruing after Maturity, on demand).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after Maturity and, if Bank elects, while an Event of Default exists prior to Maturity, interest
shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Advance at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate.
(b) If any present
or future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, directive or similar requirement (whether or not having the force
of law) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any capital adequacy, capital maintenance or similar requirement which affects
the manner in which Bank allocates capital resources to its commitments (including any commitments hereunder), and as a result
thereof, in the reasonable opinion of Bank, the rate of return on Bank’s capital with regard to the Advance is reduced to
a level below that which Bank could have achieved but for such circumstances, then in such case and upon notice from Bank to Borrower,
from time to time, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate Bank for such reduction in
Bank’s rate of return. Such notice shall contain the statement of Bank with regard to any such amount or amounts, which
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding upon Borrower. In determining such amount, Bank may use any reasonable method
of averaging and attribution that it deems applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions shall apply to all
requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Dodd−Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy
promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or
any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, regardless of the date adopted, issued,
promulgated or implemented.
(c) If at any time
Bank, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, determines that for any period (i) Dollar deposits for the applicable Interest
Period are not available to Bank in the London interbank market, (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not reflect the cost to Bank of maintaining
the Advance, (iii) any change in financial, political or economic conditions or the currency exchange rates makes it impractical
for Bank to accrue interest on the Advance at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate, or (iv) any change in Applicable Law makes it
unlawful for Bank to accrue interest on the Advance at a rate based upon LIBOR Rate, and so notifies Borrower, thereafter the
outstanding principal amount of the Advance shall, prior to its maturity, bear interest during that period at a per annum rate
equal to 0.50 percent above the Prime Rate, with the rate changing simultaneously with each change in the Prime Rate.
(d) If the adoption
of or any change in any applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Bank with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority made subsequent
to the date hereof, shall (a) subject Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Advance, or change the basis
of taxation of payments in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank), (b) impose,
modify, or hold applicable, any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits
or other liabilities in, or for the account of, advances, loans, or other extension of credit (including participations therein)
by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Bank which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR
Rate hereunder, or (c) shall impose on Bank any other condition, in each case to the extent imposed on lenders generally; and
the result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to Bank of making or maintaining the Advance, or to reduce
any amount receivable hereunder,
then, in any such case,
Borrower shall promptly pay to Bank, upon its demand (a copy of which demand shall also be delivered to Bank), any additional
amounts necessary to compensate Bank for such additional costs or reduced amount receivable which Bank reasonably deems to be
material as determined by Bank. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph submitted by Bank
to Borrower shall be presumptive evidence of such amounts owing (absent manifest error).
§3.2 Principal
and Other Payments.
(a) Regular Installments.
Borrower shall repay the principal of the Advance as follows: on the last day of each Interest Period, Borrower shall make to
Bank a principal payment in an amount equal to $83,333.00; provided that on Maturity, Borrower shall repay to Bank the entire
then unpaid principal of the Advance. Principal of the Advance that is repaid may not be re-borrowed.
(b) Prepayments.
Borrower may on any Business Day prepay the principal amount of the Advance in whole or in part provided, however, that (a) Borrower
gives Bank at least 2 Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment specifying the date of prepayment and the principal
amount to be prepaid, (b) each such partial prepayment shall be in an integral amount of $100,000.00, and (c) in no event shall
any such prepayment be made on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period unless Borrower pays to Bank with the prepayment
all amounts due and owing under §3.2(d) with respect to the prepayment. No prepayment of the Advance shall result in a deferral
or reduction of scheduled principal payments with respect to the Advance unless and until the Advance is repaid in full.
(c) Breakage Costs.
Concurrently with any prepayment of the Advance made on other than the last day of an Interest Period, Borrower shall pay to Bank
the following amount: the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount prepaid during
the period from the date of such prepayment to the last day of that Interest Period at the applicable interest rate provided for
herein over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Bank) which would have accrued to the holder of a Treasury
Obligation selected by Bank in the amount (or as close to such amount as feasible) of the amount prepaid and having a maturity
date on (or as soon after as feasible) the last day of that Interest Period, would earn if the Treasury Obligation were purchased
in the secondary market on the date the prepayment is made to Bank and were held to maturity. Borrower agrees that the aforedescribed
amount shall be based on amounts which a holder of a Treasury Obligation would receive under the foregoing circumstances, whether
or not Bank actually invests the amount prepaid in any Treasury Obligation. Borrower acknowledges that determining the actual
amount of costs and expenses resulting from a prepayment on other than the last day of an Interest Period may be difficult or
impossible to determine in an specific instance and that, accordingly, the amount set forth above is a reasonable estimate of
such costs and expense.
§3.3 Facility
Fee. On or before the Agreement Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $5,000.00.
§3.4 Late
Charges. Without limiting or waiving any rights or remedies of Bank contained herein or under Applicable Law, and without
implying that Bank has the obligation to declare or to notify Borrower of the occurrence of any Event of Default, if Bank has
neither declared nor notified Borrower of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and if any amount of any required payment of
principal, interest or fees hereunder or under the Note is not paid in full
within 10 days after
the same is due, then, in addition to all other interest and other amounts due hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Bank on demand
a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent payment. Each such late charge is intended to compensate Bank for administrative
and other costs associated with not receiving a payment when due and is neither a penalty nor interest.
§3.5 Payments
and Computations.
(a) Borrower shall
make each payment hereunder by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America
and immediately available funds without setoff or deduction of any kind, to Bank at the Payment Address.
(b) All computations
of interest, commissions and fees hereunder shall be made by Bank on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of
days (including the first day but excluding the last day) for the period for which such interest, commission or fee is payable.
Each payment under this Agreement or the Note shall be applied in such order and manner as Bank determines.
(c) Whenever any
payment to be made under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (or, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next
calendar month, on the immediately preceding Business Day), and such extension of time shall in such case be reflected in the
computation of interest, commissions or fees, as the case may be.
(d) Bank is irrevocably
authorized (but not required) to charge against any deposit account in Borrower’s name with Bank any amount that is due
under this Agreement or other Credit Document, even if doing so creates an overdraft.
(e) Bank’s
computation of interest and other amounts owing hereunder shall, in the absence manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower.
§3.6 Evidence
of Indebtedness; Impaired Note. The Advance and Borrower’s obligations to repay it, with interest in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, shall be evidenced by this Agreement, the records of Bank, and the Note. The records of Bank shall
be prima facie evidence (absent fraud or manifest error) of the Advance and the other indebtedness of Borrower under this Agreement,
of accrued interest thereon, of accrued fees, and of all payments made in respect of any thereof. Upon Borrower’s receipt
from Bank of (a) reasonably satisfactory evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note (an “Impaired
Note”) and (b) (i) in the case of mutilation, such Impaired Note for cancellation and (ii) in all cases, indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to Borrower and reimbursement of Borrower’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incidental thereto, Borrower
shall make and deliver to Bank a new replacement Note of like tenor, date and principal amount in lieu of the Impaired Note.
§4. COLLATERAL.

with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, (i) any Contract to which such Obligor is a party or by which its
or any of its properties may be bound, (ii) any Applicable Law, unless in any such case the violation would not have a Material

whereupon the Note, the Advance, all such interest and all such other
amounts shall become
and be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly
waived by Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in §10.1(g), such obligation

Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the party
against whom enforcement is sought and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given.
§11.2 Costs,
Expenses and Taxes. Borrower shall pay (or, if already paid, reimburse Bank for) on demand: (a) all reasonable costs and expenses
in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, recording and administration of the Credit Documents, including
the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for Bank, with respect thereto, with respect to any modifications thereof,
with respect to reviewing and evaluating any Collateral and with respect to advising Bank as to its rights and responsibilities
under the Credit Documents after an Event of Default or Default, (b) all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees
and expenses, including those incurred at the appellate level and in any insolvency proceedings) in connection with the enforcement
of the Credit Documents, and (c) without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, all surveying costs, all appraisal fees,
all environmental review costs, all title insurance premiums, all search costs, all filing fees, and all Collateral inspection
expenses. Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized (but not required) to deduct any of the foregoing items from any account of Borrower
with Bank; provided, that Bank shall provide to Borrower a statement of such items before any such deduction. In addition, Borrower
shall pay on demand any and all documentary stamp, intangibles and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in

deposit accounts (whether now existing or hereafter established) of Borrower with Bank or any affiliate thereof and all other
property of Borrower that is now or hereafter owed by or in the possession or control of any branch or affiliate of Bank. At any
time after an Event of Default, Bank may set off and apply any such
deposit accounts against
any and all obligations of Borrower under the Credit Documents, provided Bank shall have made demand on Borrower under a Credit
Document. Bank shall endeavor to promptly notify Borrower after any such setoff has been made but shall not be liable to Borrower
for failing to do so.
§11.4 No
Joint Venture. Nothing contained in any Credit Document shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third
person to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or joint venture or of any association between Bank

any obvious error (including any omission) in any of the Credit Documents.
§11.7 Sovereign
Immunity; Government Interference. To the extent that Borrower or a Subsidiary has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from
jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment in aid of execution, attachment
prior to judgment, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity
in respect of its obligations hereunder or any other Credit Documents. In addition, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, as a defense
to any action arising out of or relating hereto, the interference of any administrative or governmental authority of the jurisdiction(s)

the law or regulations, of such jurisdiction(s).

This Agreement may not be assigned by Borrower without Bank’s prior written consent and any such assignment or attempted
assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void. Bank, without Borrower’s consent, but with prior notice,
may assign, in whole or in part, this Agreement, any other Credit Documents and the Advance and, in connection therewith, may
make whatever disclosures regarding Borrower, any Subsidiaries or any of the Collateral it considers desirable. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower’s and Bank’s respective successors and assigns. With
respect to Borrower’s successors and assigns, such successors and assigns shall include any receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession

§11.10 Taxes.
All payments provided for herein or in any other Credit Documents shall be made free and clear of any deductions for any present
or future Taxes. If any Taxes are imposed or required to be withheld from any payment, then, to the extent such Taxes are generally
paid by other borrowers of Bank, Borrower shall (a) increase the amount of such payment so that Bank will receive a net amount
(after deduction of all Taxes) equal to the amount due hereunder and (b) promptly pay all Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority
for the account of Bank and, as promptly as possible thereafter, send Bank an original receipt showing payment thereof, together
with such additional documentary evidence as Bank may from time to time reasonably require. Borrower shall indemnify Bank from
and against any and all Taxes (irrespective of when imposed) and any related interest and penalties that may become payable by
Bank as a consequence of Borrower’s failure to perform any of its obligations under the preceding sentence.
§11.11 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents supersede all prior negotiations, communications and agreements (written

or discrepancy between the provisions of this Agreement and any other documentation evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to
Bank shall be resolved in the manner most favorable to Bank.

Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall
be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of any executed

that any member or beneficial owner of Borrower or a Subsidiary or any constituent entity thereof is or becomes a Prohibited Person
or (i) is indicted on or (ii) arraigned and held over on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering.

or executive orders, including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. §§1956, 1957 and 1960, prohibiting money laundering and
terrorist financing (collectively, “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”) and will ensure no Subsidiary does so. Borrower shall
(A) not use or knowingly permit the use of any proceeds of the Credit Extensions in any way that will violate either the OFAC
Rules or Anti-Money Laundering Laws and will ensure no Subsidiary does so, (B) comply and cause all of the Subsidiaries to comply
with applicable OFAC Rules and Anti-Money Laundering Laws, (C) provide information as Bank may require from time to time to permit

any of the foregoing, and ensure that no Subsidiary does so.
§11.14 Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement and each other Credit Document are severable and if any provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable

Borrower and the benefit of Bank, as applicable, and may not be relied upon or enforced by any other person.

acknowledges that Bank is acting pursuant to a contractual relationship on an arm’s-length basis, and the parties hereto
do not intend that Bank act or be responsible as a fiduciary to Borrower, Borrower’s management, stockholders, creditors
or any other person. Borrower and Bank hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary relationship and agree each party is responsible
for making its own independent judgments with respect to any transactions entered into between the parties. Borrower also hereby
acknowledges that Bank has not advised and is not advising Borrower as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and
that Borrower is consulting its own advisors concerning such matters to the extent Borrower deems it appropriate.
§11.16 Further
Assurances; Corrections of Defects. Borrower intending to be legally bound hereby, agrees to promptly correct any defect,
error or omission, upon the request of Bank, which may be discovered in the contents of any of the Credit Documents, or in the
execution or acknowledgement hereof, and Borrower shall execute, or re-execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments

obligations evidenced by the Credit Documents, and shall cause each Subsidiary to do so.

or amount permitted by Applicable Law. Should any interest or other charges paid or payable hereunder result in the computation
or earning of interest in excess of the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted by Applicable Law, such excess interest and
charges shall be (and the same hereby are) waived by Bank, and the amount of such excess paid shall be automatically credited
against, and be deemed to have been payments in reduction of, the principal then due hereunder, and any portion of such excess
paid which exceeds the principal then due hereunder shall be paid by Bank to Borrower.

sitting in or for such county. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits, in any such action or proceeding, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of each such court and irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum with respect to any such action or proceeding.

of the Advance or the manufacture, storage, transportation, release or disposal of any Hazardous Material on, from, over or affecting
any of the Collateral or any of the assets, properties or operations of Borrower, any Subsidiary or any predecessor in interest,
directly or indirectly, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense results from such Indemnified
Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or willful breach of this Agreement. In the case of an investigation, litigation
or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this §11.21 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party
or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated. Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Bank, any of its affiliates, or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents and advisers, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Credit Documents, any of the transactions contemplated
herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advance. To the extent that any of the indemnities required
from Borrower under this §11.21 are unenforceable because they violate any Applicable Law or public policy, Borrower shall
pay the maximum amount which it is permitted to pay under Applicable Law.

§2.3

the funds thus deposited to the Project Subsidiary that owns or leases the Restaurant that is the subject of that
Project. Borrower shall ensure that the funds thus contributed are used to pay the Project Costs for that Project in
accordance with the related Approved Project Budget. No more than five Advances shall be made for any one Project, the

Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any of the Collateral.
§2.4
Requesting Advances. Each Advance shall be requested only by Borrower and by its submitting to Bank a completed, signed
Borrowing Notice in the form of Exhibit A hereto (with whatever modifications Bank requires from time to time). Bank
reserves the right to require any Borrowing Notice to be submitted at least two Business Days before the date the Advance is
requested to be made. Each Borrowing Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower.

Limits. At no time may the Overall Facility Exposure exceed the Overall Facility Limit, and at no time may the SBLC

§3. PAYMENT
TERMS.
§3.1
Interest Rates and Payments. (a) Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of each Advance from the date
made, during each Interest Period for such Advance, at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (a) the Margin plus (b) the LIBOR
Rate for that Interest Period. Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Advance on the last day of each Interest Period
for such Advance during the Interest-Only Period applicable to such Advance, on the last day of the Interest-Only Period
applicable to such Advance, on the last day of each Interest Period for such Advance during the Term-Out Period applicable to
such Advance, and at such Advance’s maturity (and, in the case of interest accruing after such maturity, on demand).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the maturity of an Advance and, if Bank elects, while an Event of Default exists prior
to such maturity, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of such Advance at a per annum rate equal to the
Default Rate.
(b) If any present
or future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, directive or similar requirement (whether or not having the force
of law) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any capital adequacy, capital maintenance or similar requirement which affects the
manner in which Bank allocates capital resources to its commitments (including any commitments hereunder), and as a result thereof,
in the reasonable opinion of Bank, the rate of return on Bank’s capital with regard to the Advances is reduced to a level
below that which Bank could have achieved but for such circumstances, then in such case and upon prior written notice from Bank
to Borrower, from time to time, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate Bank for such
reduction in Bank’s rate of return. Such notice shall contain the statement of Bank with regard to any such amount or amounts,
which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding upon Borrower. In determining such amount, Bank may use any reasonable
method of averaging and attribution that it deems applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions shall apply
to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Dodd−Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy
promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or
any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, regardless of the date adopted, issued,
promulgated or implemented.
(c) If at any time
Bank, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, determines that for any period (i) Dollar deposits for the applicable Interest
Period are not available to Bank in the London interbank market, (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not reflect the cost to Bank of maintaining
the Advances, (iii) any change in financial, political or economic conditions or the currency exchange rates makes it impractical
for Bank to accrue interest on Advances at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate, or (iv) any change in Applicable Law makes it unlawful
for Bank to accrue interest on Advances at a rate based upon LIBOR Rate, and so notifies Borrower, thereafter the outstanding principal
amount of Advances shall, prior to their maturity, bear
interest during that
period at a per annum rate equal to 0.50 percent per annum above the Prime Rate, with the rate changing simultaneously with each
change in the Prime Rate.
(d) If the adoption
of or any change in any applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Bank with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority made subsequent
to the date hereof, shall (a) subject Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Advances, or change the basis
of taxation of payments in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Bank), (b) impose,
modify, or hold applicable, any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits
or other liabilities in, or for the account of, advances, loans, or other extension of credit (including participations therein)
by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Bank which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR
Rate hereunder, or (c) shall impose on Bank any other condition, in each case to the extent imposed on lenders generally; and the
result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to Bank of making or maintaining Advances, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Bank, upon its demand (a copy of which demand shall
also be delivered to Bank), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Bank for such additional costs or reduced amount receivable
which Bank reasonably deems to be material as determined by Bank. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this paragraph submitted by Bank to Borrower shall be presumptive evidence of such amounts owing (absent manifest error).
§3.2
Principal and Other Payments.
(a) Regular
Installments. Subject to the provisions of §3.6, Borrower shall repay the principal of each Advance as follows: on
the last day of each Interest Period for such Advance beginning on the first such day during the Term-Out Period for that
Advance, Borrower shall make to Bank a payment in an amount equal to 1/60th of the principal amount of that Advance
outstanding on the first day of such Term-Out Period, provided that on the last day of that Term-Out Period, Borrower shall
repay to Bank the entire then unpaid principal of that Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Advance for a Project
is made more than 18 months after the Agreement Date, then all the Advances for such Project shall be due and payable in full
on the last day of the Interest-Only Period for those Advances, unless Bank, in its sole discretion, agrees in writing that
those Advances may be paid as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.2(a).
(b) Overage Payments.
If at any time the Overall Facility Exposure exceeds the Overall Facility Limit, Borrower shall, within two Business Days after
Bank’s demand, prepay the principal of Advances in the amount of the excess. If at any time the SBLC Exposure exceeds the
SBLC Facility Limit, Borrower shall, within two Business Days after Bank's demand, deposit with and assign to Bank as collateral
for the Obligations, cash collateral in the amount of the excess. Nothing in this §3.2(b) shall be construed to restrict Bank’s
right to accelerate the Obligations or pursue its other remedies under §10 based on the Overall Facility Limit's or the SBLC
Facility Limit’s being exceeded.
(c) Prepayments.
Borrower may on any Business Day prepay the principal amount of any Advance in whole or in part provided, however, that (a) Borrower
gives Bank at least two Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment specifying the date of prepayment and the principal
amount to be prepaid, (b) each such partial prepayment shall be in an integral
amount of $100,000.00,
and (c) in no event shall any such prepayment be made on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period for the Advance
prepaid unless Borrower pays to Bank with the prepayment all amounts due and owing under §3.2(d) with respect to the prepayment.
No prepayment of an Advance made during the Term-Out Period for such Advance shall result in a deferral or reduction of scheduled
principal payments with respect to such Advance unless and until the Advance is repaid in full.
(d) Breakage Costs.
Concurrently with any prepayment of an Advance made on other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Advance, Borrower
shall pay to Bank the following amount: the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount
prepaid during the period from the date of such prepayment to the last day of that Interest Period at the applicable interest rate
provided for herein over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Bank) which would have accrued to the holder of
a Treasury Obligation selected by Bank in the amount (or as close to such amount as feasible) of the amount prepaid and having
a maturity date on (or as soon after as feasible) the last day of that Interest Period, would earn if the Treasury Obligation were
purchased in the secondary market on the date the prepayment is made to Bank and were held to maturity. Borrower agrees that the
aforedescribed amount shall be based on amounts which a holder of a Treasury Obligation would receive under the foregoing circumstances,
whether or not Bank actually invests the amount prepaid in any Treasury Obligation. Borrower acknowledges that determining the
actual amount of costs and expenses resulting from a prepayment on other than the last day of an Interest Period may be difficult
or impossible to determine in an specific instance and that, accordingly, the amount set forth above is a reasonable estimate of
such costs and expense.
(e) SBLC Reimbursements.
Borrower shall pay to Bank, immediately upon the drawing, the amount of each and any drawing under a SBLC, together with interest
(from the date of the drawing to the date of payment in full) at the higher of the rate then applicable to Advances and the rate
specified in the related SBLC Agreement. If any SBLC is extended beyond one year after its issuance, or beyond the initial Commitment
Termination Date, Borrower shall deposit with Bank, and grant to Bank a security interest satisfactory to Bank in, cash collateral
in an amount equal to 105% of the amount available under that SBLC.
(f) SBLC Fees.
When an SBLC is issued and each time it is renewed or extended, Borrower shall pay to Bank a commission at the rate of 2.50 percent
per annum based on the face amount of the SBLC (computed in accordance with Bank’s standard practices) and such other fees
and charges with respect thereto as Bank customarily charges its customers with respect to standby letters of credit issued by
it.
(g) Non-Use Fee.
For each day during the period between the Agreement Date and the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-use
fee equal to the product of (a) the amount by which the Overall Facility Limit exceeds the Overall Facility Exposure on that day
times (b) the quotient of .25 percent divided by 360. Such Non-Use Fee shall be paid in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter
and on the Commitment Termination Date and may be deducted by Bank without notice from the Borrowing Account or any other deposit
account of Borrower with Bank.
§3.3 Commitment
Fee. On or before the Agreement Date, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of
$20,000.00.
§3.4 Late
Charges. Without limiting or waiving any rights or remedies of Bank contained herein or under Applicable Law, and without
implying that Bank has the obligation to declare or to notify Borrower of the occurrence of any Event of Default, if Bank has
neither declared nor notified Borrower of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and if any amount of any required payment of
principal, interest or fees hereunder or under a Note is not paid in full within 10 days after the same is due, then, in
addition to all other interest and other amounts due hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Bank on demand a late charge equal to
five percent of the delinquent payment. Each such late charge is intended to compensate Bank for administrative and other
costs associated with not receiving a payment when due and is neither a penalty nor interest.
§3.5
Payments and Computations.
(a) Borrower shall
make each payment hereunder by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America
and immediately available funds without setoff or deduction of any kind, to Bank at the Payment Address.
(b) All computations
of interest, commissions and fees hereunder shall be made by Bank on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) for the period for which such interest, commission or fee is payable. Each
payment under this Agreement or a Note shall be applied in such order and manner as Bank determines.
(c) Whenever any payment
to be made under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (or, if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month,
on the immediately preceding Business Day), and such extension of time shall in such case be reflected in the computation of interest,
commissions or fees, as the case may be.
(d) Bank is irrevocably
authorized (but not required) to charge against any deposit account in Borrower’s name with Bank any amount that is due under
this Agreement or other Credit Document, even if doing so creates an overdraft.
(e) Bank’s computation
of interest and other amounts owing hereunder shall, in the absence manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower.
§3.6 Term
Notes. Three (3) Business Days before the last day of the Interest-Only Period for the Advances for a Project, Borrower
shall duly execute and deliver to Bank a Term Note with appropriate insertions satisfactory to Bank and evidencing those
Advances made during the Interest-Only Period and, if Borrower fails to do so with respect to the Advances for any Project,
those Advances shall be immediately due and payable in full (together with any and all accrued interest thereon) on the last
day of the Interest-Only Period for those Advances.
§3.7 Evidence
of Indebtedness; Impaired Note. The Advances and Borrower’s obligations to repay them, with interest in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, shall be evidenced by this Agreement, the records of Bank, and the Notes. The records of
Bank shall be prima facie evidence (absent fraud or manifest error) of the Advances and the other indebtedness of Borrower
under this Agreement, of accrued interest thereon, of accrued fees,
and of all payments made in respect of any thereof. Upon
Borrower’s receipt from Bank of (a) reasonably satisfactory
evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Note (an “Impaired Note”) and (b) (i) in the case of mutilation,
such Impaired Note for cancellation and (ii) in all cases, indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and reimbursement
of Borrower’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incidental thereto, Borrower shall make and deliver to Bank a new replacement
Note of like tenor, date and principal amount in lieu of the Impaired Note.
§4.1 Borrower
Collateral. The Obligations (together with all indebtedness, obligations and duties of Borrower to Bank arising under or
in connection with the Existing Term Note, the Term Credit Agreement, the Term Facility Note or any other Credit Documents,
as that term is defined in the Term Credit Agreement, as more particularly described in the Existing Term Note and the Credit
Documents defined and described in the Term Credit Agreement) shall be secured at all time by a perfected, first priority
security interest in all of the Borrower Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the
Obligations shall be secured at all times by a perfected (both by filing and possession by Bank of the related Equity
Certificates), first-priority security interest in and pledge of all of the Capital Securities of each Project
Subsidiary.
§4.2 Project
Subsidiary Collateral. The Obligations arising from, related to or connected with a Project, together with any
Obligations under a Cash Management Agreement between Bank and Project Subsidiary for such Project, shall be secured at all
times by perfected, first-priority security interest in the Project Subsidiary Collateral owned by the Project Subsidiary for
such Project. In addition, Bank may, in its discretion, require the Obligations arising from, related to or connected with a
Project, together with any Obligations under a Cash Management Agreement between Bank and Project Subsidiary for such
Project, to be secured by perfected, first-priority fee or leasehold mortgage or deed-of-trust on any Real Estate.

excess interest and charges shall be (and the same hereby are) waived by Bank, and the amount of such excess paid shall be
automatically credited against, and be deemed to have been payments in reduction of, the principal then due hereunder, and
any portion of such excess paid which exceeds the principal then due hereunder shall be paid by Bank to Borrower.

may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or
by reason of (including without limitation in connection with any investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of
defense in connection therewith) the Credit Documents, any Collateral, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the
actual or proposed use of the proceeds of any Advance or the manufacture, storage, transportation, release or disposal of any
Hazardous Material on, from, over or affecting any of the Collateral or any of the assets, properties or operations of
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any predecessor in interest, directly or indirectly, except to the extent such claim, damage,
loss, liability, cost or expense results from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or
willful breach of this Agreement. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in
this §11.23 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is
brought by Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified
Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Borrower hereby

contemplated herein or therein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of any Advance. To the extent that any of the
indemnities required from Borrower under this §11.23 are unenforceable because they violate any Applicable Law or public
policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum amount which it is permitted to pay under Applicable Law.
§11.24 Jury
Trial Waiver. BORROWER AND BANK HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO

OTHERWISE, THAT BANK WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL
PROVISION. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS §11.19 HAVE BEEN A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO BANK TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND TO MAKE ADVANCES HEREUNDER.
