Xxxxxxxxxxx Capital REIT, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx Revocable Trust‎‎ (the “Subscriber”) or the Subscriber’s registered assigns, the sum of Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Two Dollars and 31/100 ($‎37,562.31‎), or such lesser amount as shall then equal the outstanding principal amount hereof and any unpaid accrued interest hereon, as set forth below, on the third anniversary of the date of that certain convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $28,888 dated November 20, 2015 (the “Original Note”) issued by the Company to Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx pursuant to that certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated November 20, 2015, by and among the Company and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx (the “Original Purchase Agreement”) or may elect to convert this Convertible Note (the “Note”) into Shares pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

This Note has been issued pursuant and subject to the Original Purchase Agreement, as assigned to Subscriber by that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of March 29, 2019, by and between Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Subscriber (the “Purchase Agreement”, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented). The Subscriber is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and shall be entitled to certain rights and privileges set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Purchase Agreement. If there is any conflict between the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Note, the Purchase Agreement shall govern.

The following is a statement of the rights of the Subscriber and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Subscriber hereof, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. The unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear simple interest at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum from November 20, 2018 and be deferred until the earlier of (i) November 20, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), (ii) the date the Note is converted into Shares at the option of the Subscriber on or before the Maturity Date, or (iii) the date this Note is paid in full.

(b) Maximum Rate Permitted by Law. In the event that any interest rate provided for in this Section 1 shall be determined to be unlawful, such interest rate shall be computed at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Any payment by the Company of any interest amount in excess of that permitted by law shall be considered a mistake, with the excess being applied to the principal amount of this Note without prepayment premium or penalty.

Merger, Consolidation.

(a) Acceleration on Merger, Consolidation. In the event of (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other company reorganization in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity, or any transaction or series of related transactions by the Company in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power is issued for the purpose of combining with or acquisition by one or more corporations or other entities or persons; or (ii) a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the principal and accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable at the closing of any such transaction (either event, a “Change in Control”).

(b) Notices. The Company shall give the Subscriber written notice of such impending transaction not later than seven (7) days prior to the shareholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or, if approved by the written consent of the shareholders, seven (7) days prior to the closing of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2 and the Company shall thereafter give such Subscribers prompt notice of any material changes, provided, however, that the aforesaid periods may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the Subscribers of the majority of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding.

3. Note Register. This Note is transferable only upon the books of the Company which it shall cause to be maintained for such purpose. The Company may treat the registered Subscriber of this Note as he or it appears on the Company’s books at any time as the Subscriber for all purposes.
