Effective Date. For purposes of this Note, the term “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in New York, New York

2.3. Interest and Fees.
(a) The Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof (including capitalized interest) from the date made until the Loan is paid in full. Xxxxxxxx agrees to
pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan (including capitalized interest) from time to time outstanding hereunder at a rate of interest per annum equal to ten percent (10.00%) (as such rate may be modified as set forth herein),
compounding annually. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby agreed that no interest shall be deemed to have accrued, or will after the closing of a Rights Offering, accrue, on any principal portion of the Loan (the “Converted Principal Amount”) which is used by Lender as consideration for payment by it for Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to a Rights Offering in accordance with
Section 3.1 below.
(b) If (x) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or (y) any amounts hereunder remain outstanding and unpaid after May 31, 2021, then the rate of interest applicable to
the Loan then outstanding shall be the rate of interest otherwise accruing pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof, plus ten percent (10.00%) per annum (such aggregate rate being the “Default Rate”), compounding annually. The Default Rate shall apply, in the case of clause (x) above, from the date of the Event of Default until the date such Event of Default is waived by Xxxxxx in writing, and in the case
of clause (y), from and after May 31, 2021.
(c) Subject to Section 3.9 below, in the event a Board Decision, as defined and provided for in Section 3.7 below, shall occur, then the rate of interest applicable to the Loan then
outstanding shall be the rate of interest otherwise accruing pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof, plus fifteen percent (15.00%) per annum (such aggregate rate (25.00%) being the “Board Decision Rate”), compounding annually. For the avoidance of doubt, during the time the Board Decision Rate is applicable, the Default Rate shall not be applicable.
(d) Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty five (365) days, including the date the Loan is made
and excluding the date the Loan or any portion thereof is paid or prepaid.

proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence similar or dissimilar.
(f) Borrower hereby agrees to pay Lender an up-front fee (the “Up-Front Fee”) equal to
Thirteen Thousand and Eight Hundred and Ninety-Eight Dollars ($13,898). Such fee shall be fully earned and due and payable on the Effective Date (and may be deducted by Lender directly from the Loan advance without reducing the principal amount of
the Loan).
(g) Borrower hereby agrees to pay Lender an exit fee (the “Exit Fee”) equal to (x) two
percent (2.00%) of (y) the original principal amount of the Loan ($2,779,557), minus the Converted Principal Amount, if any. Such fee shall be fully earned and due and payable upon the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the repayment or
prepayment in full of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan (including pursuant to a Conversion (as defined herein)). If Xxxxxx decides to not participate in any Rights Offering Conversion (as defined herein) which has been approved
by Xxxxxxxx’s shareholders and board of directors (and such approval has not thereafter been rescinded, terminated or revoked, including pursuant to a Board Decision), then the Exit Fee shall not be earned or due and payable.
2.4. Payments.
(a) All accrued interest on the Loan shall be due and payable by Borrower in arrears (i) on the Maturity Date and (ii) upon any payment or prepayment of the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan. After the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable on demand. In addition, all accrued but unpaid interest shall be capitalized (paid in kind and added to the principal balance hereof) on each annual anniversary of the date
hereof until paid in full.
(b) The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan (including capitalized interest), together with all unpaid and accrued interest thereon, and all fees and other amounts
owing hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. In addition, Borrower shall be required to prepay (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in Section 2.4(d)) the obligations hereunder in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.3 of
this Note immediately upon their receipt of such amounts from any Conversion or other sale of equity in connection with a Conversion. Borrower shall also be required to prepay the obligations hereunder from time to time upon its receipt of
proceeds from any Unsolicited Cash Proceeds in accordance with and as required pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.9(c) (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in Section 2.4(d)).
(c) Without the prior written consent of Lender, the Loan may only be voluntarily prepaid by Xxxxxxxx following the later to occur of (i) the expiration of the time period for the
exercise of the Non-Rights Offering Conversion option set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.3, and (ii) the end of the Non-Solicitation Period as provided in Section 3.8 below, following which time the Loan may be prepaid without premium or
penalty in whole, but not in part (unless Lender otherwise consents). Any such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of all then accrued but unpaid interest, fees (including the Exit Fee and the Make Whole Fee, if applicable) and any
other amounts owing under and pursuant to the terms of this Note.
(d) All payments and prepayments shall be applied in the order determined by Lender in its sole discretion, which may require payment of any unpaid interest, unpaid Exit Fee, unpaid
Make Whole Fee (if applicable) and other amounts owing to Lender prior to payment of any outstanding principal owing hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder
shall be remitted to Lender in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the day due. Any payment received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any
payment is stated as due on a day which is not a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue during such extension.
(e) All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made for the benefit of Xxxxxx. All payments under this Note shall be made in cash by check or
wire transfer of immediately available funds in currency of the United States of America to such address or account as Lender shall hereafter give to Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note, without set-off,
deduction or counterclaim. Under no circumstances may Borrower offset any amount owed by Borrower to Lender under this Note with an amount owed by Lender to Borrower under any other arrangement.
ARTICLE 3
CONVERSION
3.1. Rights Offering Conversion. If Xxxxxxxx commences a rights offering whereby the
existing holders of common stock of Borrower (the “Common Stock”) receive rights to subscribe for 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock (a “Rights Offering”) for a total purchase price of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) at $2.50 per share (the “Rights Offering Amount”), the then outstanding principal amount of this Note, or any portion hereof, may, at the election of Lender, be converted (a “Rights Offering Conversion”) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the closing of any such Rights Offering, pursuant to the exercise of rights by Lender or its affiliates in the Rights
Offering at a price per share equal to the subscription price for each share of Common Stock pursuant to any such Rights Offering (as adjusted equitably for any stock splits or stock dividends affecting the Common Stock, the “Rights Offering Conversion Price”). Upon any such Rights Offering Conversion, a
portion of the principal amount hereof shall be deemed paid and satisfied to the extent of the aggregate Rights Offering Conversion Price for such number of shares so elected by Xxxxxx to be included in such Rights Offering Conversion. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary that may set forth herein, the minimum number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of this Note, or any portion hereof, may be Converted shall equal 1,111,823 shares of Common Stock. Nothing in this
Note shall be deemed to commit or require Lender to participate in or to exercise any Rights Offering Conversion in connection with, or shall be deemed to be an
offer by Lender to participate in or exercise any Rights Offering Conversion in connection with, a Rights Offering, all of which shall be at Xxxxxx’s sole and
absolute discretion. Borrower shall use all cash proceeds of the Rights Offering to prepay the obligations hereunder as required pursuant to Section 2.4(b).
3.2. Rights Offering Conversion Procedure. If a Rights Offering is commenced, written notice shall be delivered to Lender notifying Lender of the general terms of the proposed conversion that may be effected, specifying the Rights
Offering Conversion Price, the then outstanding principal amount of this Note, or any portion thereof, that may be converted, the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of this Note, or any portion thereof, may be
converted and the date on which any such conversion shall occur (which shall be the date of the closing of any such Rights Offering). If, upon receipt of such written notice from Xxxxxxxx, Lender elects to exercise its right to convert, Xxxxxx
shall deliver written notice thereof to Borrower within three (3) Business Days after Xxxxxx received such written notice from Xxxxxxxx. Borrower shall, in accordance with the terms of the Rights Offering, issue and deliver to Lender a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares to which Lender shall be entitled upon such conversion, or shall otherwise issue such shares in book-entry form and provide Lender confirmation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Rights Offering is commenced and Lender provides written notice to exercise its right to convert, and the closing of any such Rights Offering does not occur, then any such written notice
shall be deemed to be withdrawn and no Rights Offering Conversion shall occur.
3.3. Non-Rights Offering Conversion. If any amounts hereunder remain outstanding and
unpaid after May 31, 2021 (or, if earlier, the termination, rescission or rejection of the Rights Offering by Xxxxxxxx’s board of directors or shareholders), the then
outstanding principal amount of this Note (including capitalized interest), or any portion hereof, may, at the election of Lender, be converted (a “Non-Rights
Offering Conversion” and, together with any Rights Offering Conversion, a “Conversion”) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $2.50 (as adjusted equitably for any stock
splits or stock dividends affecting the Common Stock, the “Non-Rights Offering Conversion Price”); provided, however, that Lender shall not be entitled to exercise a Non-Rights Offering Conversion (a) unless and until the Shareholder Approval has been obtained or (b) in the event of a Board Decision
contemplated by clause (b) of Section 3.7. Upon any such Non-Rights Offering
Conversion, a portion of the principal amount hereof shall be deemed paid and satisfied to the extent of the aggregate Non-Rights Offering Conversion Price for such number of shares so elected by Xxxxxx to be included in such Non-Rights Offering
Conversion (with any unconverted portion hereof remaining outstanding and owing hereunder). If Lender elects to exercise its right to convert, Lender shall deliver written notice thereof to Borrower and Borrower shall issue and deliver
to Lender a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which Lender shall be entitled upon such Non-Rights Offering Conversion, or shall otherwise
issue such shares in book-entry form and provide Lender confirmation thereof.
If (a) Lender gives written notice to Borrower of its decision not to participate in any Rights Offering
Conversion which has been approved by Borrower’s shareholders and board of directors (and such approval has not been rescinded, terminated or revoked, including by a Board Decision), or (b) Lender does not exercise a Non-Rights Offering Conversion for the outstanding principal amount hereof within three (3) Business Days after the later of (i) May 31, 2021 or (ii) the date upon which Xxxxxx receives written
notice from Borrower that Shareholder Approval has been obtained, then, unless a Board Decision contemplated by clause (b) of Section 3.7 has occurred, the Loan evidenced by this Note shall continue to remain outstanding in accordance with its terms
and (x) the interest rate required by Section 2.3(a) hereof (ten percent (10.00%)) shall be reduced to five percent (5.00%) per annum, compounding annually, as of the earliest to occur of clauses (a) or (b) above and (y) clause (y) of Section 2.3(b)
shall thereafter cease to be operative for purposes of invoking the Default Rate (it being acknowledged that clause (x) of Section 2.3(b) shall continue to be operative, if applicable).
3.4. Fractional Shares; Interest; Effect of Conversion. Except as otherwise permitted
pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering, no fractional shares shall be issued upon any Conversion of this Note. In lieu of Borrower issuing any fractional shares to Lender upon any Conversion of this Note, Borrower shall round up any
fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be due to Lender upon Conversion hereof.
3.5. Shareholder Approval. Subject to Section 3.7 below, as promptly as practicable
following the date hereof, Borrower shall convene a special meeting of its shareholders and seek (and use best efforts to obtain) shareholder approval pursuant to applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange of the Rights Offering, any
Conversion and transactions contemplated by this Note, including the applicable Conversion Price to be used to determine the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon a Conversion (the “Shareholder Approval”). In the event the Shareholder Approval is not obtained at such meeting, Borrower shall successively seek similar approval at each annual meetings of shareholders until such Shareholder
Approval is obtained.
3.6. Voting Agreement. Reference is made to the Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, between Borrower and the following affiliates of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (“IRSA”):
Real Estate Investment Group VII L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership, Real Estate Strategies L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership, and Efanur S.A., an Uruguay limited company (collectively, “RES”) pursuant to which RES has committed to vote its
voting securities in Borrower in favor of the Shareholder Approval. In the event RES fails to vote its voting securities in Borrower in favor of the Shareholder Proposal as required by the Voting Agreement, then the Loan evidenced by this Note
shall continue to remain outstanding in accordance with its terms and, effective as of the date on which such vote was held, (x) the interest rate required by Section 2.3(a) hereof (ten percent (10.00%)) shall be reduced to five percent (5.00%) per
annum, compounding annually and (y) clause (y) of Section 2.3(b) shall thereafter cease to be operative for purposes of invoking the Default Rate.
3.7. Failure to Proceed with or Termination of Rights Offering; Non-Rights Offering Conversion;
Decision to Not Seek Shareholder Approval. The independent members of the board of directors of the Company, exclusive of members of the board of directors designated for election by any affiliate of Lender or any affiliate of SREP
III Flight – Investco 2, L.P. (“SREP”) pursuant to contract rights with Borrower, may determine (a) not to proceed with, or to terminate, a Rights Offering, (b) to prohibit a Non-Rights Offering Conversion at a time when the Lender would otherwise
be entitled to exercise a Non-Rights Offering Conversion, or (c) to not seek the Shareholder Approval, if proceeding with, or failure to so terminate, a Rights Offering, failure to prohibit a Non-Rights Offering Conversion or the seeking to obtain
the Shareholder Approval would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the directors’ duties set forth in Section 2-405.1 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, as reasonably determined by such members of the board of directors of the
Company in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and based on the advice of such counsel (a “Board Decision”); provided, that no Board
Decision shall be permitted in order to accept an Unsolicited Cash Offer unless the net proceeds to the Company of such Unsolicited Cash Offer is sufficient to pay to (i) Lender the Make Whole Fee plus all other amounts then owing to Lender
hereunder and (ii) SREP or its affiliates of one or more notes, securities or other instruments intended to convey similar economic benefits as are set forth in of this Note (a “SREP Note”). A Board Decision shall not be deemed a default or breach of the Company’s obligations hereunder.
3.8. No Solicitation. Until the earlier of (a) the date of a Board Decision or (b) June 3,
2021 (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), Borrower agrees that it shall not, and it shall cause its directors, employees, officers, and financial advisors to
not, solicit discussions or negotiations with any person, other than Lender or its affiliates, with respect to any inquiry, proposal, offer, indication of interest, discussion or request for nonpublic information from a third party that
constitutes, or could be reasonably expected to lead to, a cash offer for newly issued Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock of the Company.
3.9. Make Whole Fee. In the event of a Board Decision pursuant to Section 3.7 in order to
accept an unsolicited cash offer for newly issued Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock of the Company (“Unsolicited Cash Offer”), then
upon consummation of the sale of such newly issued securities pursuant to an Unsolicited Cash Offer, Borrower shall pay Lender a sum equal to (a) the number of newly issued or issuable shares of Common Stock issued to Lender or its affiliates
pursuant to such Unsolicited Cash Offer up to but not to exceed 27.8%% of the newly issued or issuable Common Stock in the Unsolicited Cash Offer, multiplied by (b) the amount that the sales price (or deemed sales price, in the case of convertible
securities) per share of newly issued or issuable shares of Common Stock in such Unsolicited Cash Offer exceeds $2.50 (the “Make Whole Fee”) in cash, plus
(c) the net proceeds of such Unsolicited Cash Offer up to an amount sufficient to pay all other amounts then owing to Lender hereunder, within three (3) Business Days following receipt of the sale proceeds in such Unsolicited Cash Offer (the “Make Whole Deadline”); provided, that a Make Whole Fee shall not be paid or thereafter due to Lender on account of any portion of an Unsolicited Cash Offer the
net proceeds of which are in excess of amounts owing to Lender hereunder or to SREP or its affiliates under any SREP Note (including principal, interest, fees and expenses) and such net proceeds are paid to Lender or SREP or its affiliates, as
applicable. Upon payment of all Make Whole Fees and all other amounts owing to Lender hereunder (including all principal, interest, fees and expenses) then Lender shall have no further rights under this Article 3. For the avoidance of doubt, any
Make Whole Fee can be applied by Lender to pay the purchase price of any shares of Common Stock purchased by Lender of its affiliates pursuant to such Unsolicited Cash Offer. A Board Decision contemplated by this Section 3.9 shall not cause an
increase of the interest rate to the Default Rate or to the Board Decision Rate unless payment of such Make Whole Fee and all other amounts owing to Lender hereunder are not made as provided hereunder on or prior to the Make Whole Deadline. The
Make Whole Fee is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other payments due to Lender hereunder.

until all Obligations are satisfied in full. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy, and Lender, upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, may proceed against Borrower at any time, under any agreement, with any available remedy and in any order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(i) shall not give rise to a right to accelerate the
obligations owing hereunder unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Subordination Agreement.
