Pledge and Security Agreement

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or otherwise required hereby) to or upon Pledgor, Pledged Entity, or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices, or other defenses, are hereby waived to the extent permitted under applicable law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Pledgee or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best in its sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Pledgee shall have the right, without notice or publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further notice. Pledgee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of Pledgor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived or released to the extent permitted by applicable law. Pledgee shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all actual and reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Pledgee hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Guaranteed Obligations, in such order as Pledgee may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Pledgee of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the Code, need Pledgee account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Pledgee arising out of the exercise by Pledgee of any of its rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages and demands it may have against Pledgee arising from any violations by Pledgee under Article 9 of the Code or the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Pledgee or its affiliates, or any agents or employees of the foregoing.

9. Private Sales.

(a) Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Company Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Pledgee than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. Pledgee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Company Interests for the period of time necessary to permit Pledged Entity or Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledged Entity or Pledgor would agree to do so.

Pledge and Security Agreement

(b) Pledgor shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Company Interests pursuant to this Section 9 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of applicable law. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to Pledgee, that Pledgee has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Guaranty Documents or the defense that Pledgee has not complied with its obligations expressly set forth herein, any other applicable law, or any applicable provision of the Code.

(c) Pledgee shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value and that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Pledgee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, even if Pledgee accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that Pledgee has acted in a commercially reasonable manner and has conducted such private sale in accordance with the Code, and other applicable law.

(d) The Code states that Pledgee is able to purchase the Pledged Company Interests only if they are sold at a public sale. Pledgee has advised Pledgor that SEC staff personnel have issued various No-Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Article 9 of the Code, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Code permits Pledgor to agree on the standards for determining whether Pledgee has complied with its obligations under Article 9. Pursuant to the Code, Pledgor specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to Pledgee’s purchase of the Pledged Company Interests (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the No-Action Letters (i) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the Code; (ii) will be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Pledgee, has not registered or sought to register the Pledged Company Interests under the Securities Laws, even if Pledgor or Pledged Entity agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (iii) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Pledgee purchases the Pledged Company Interests at such a sale.

(e) Pledgor agrees that Pledgee shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged Company Interests sold by Pledgee pursuant to this Agreement. Pledgee, may, in its sole discretion, among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Without in any way limiting Pledgee’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, Pledgor hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale and hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale:

(i) Pledgee conducts the foreclosure sale in the State of New York,

(ii) The foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,

(vi) Pledgee sends notification of the foreclosure sale to all secured parties identified as a result of a search of the UCC financings statements in the filing offices located in the State of Delaware conducted not later than twenty (20) days and not earlier than thirty (30) days before such notification date.

(f) Pledgee shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral undertaken in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Code, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value and that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Pledgee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, even if Pledgee accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that Pledgee has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale in accordance with the Code, other applicable law and the provisions hereof.

10. Financing Statements; Other Documents. On the date hereof, Pledgor hereby authorizes Pledgee to file UCC-1 financing statements with respect to the Collateral. Pledgor agrees to deliver any other document or instrument which Pledgee may reasonably request with respect to the Collateral for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements (and amendments of financing statements and continuation statements) that name Pledgor as debtor and Pledgee as secured party and that cover all personal property or all assets of Pledgor. Pledgor hereby ratifies the filing of any such financing statements (or amendments of financing statements or continuation statements) that were filed prior to the execution hereof.

Pledge and Security Agreement

If so requested by Pledgee, Pledgor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to Pledgee at the Pledgor’s expense all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.

12. Strict Foreclosure.

(a) Pledgee may, but shall have no obligation to, in its sole and absolute discretion, either negotiate an agreement (“Strict Foreclosure Agreement”) with Pledgor, or make a written proposal (“Strict Foreclosure Proposal”) to Pledgor, to retain the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 9-620 of the Code.

The Pledged Company Interest provides that it is a “security” (within the meaning of Sections 8-102(a)(15) and 8-103 of the Code).

The “Initial Exercise Date” shall be (i) at any time prior to the return of ninety percent (90.0%) of the Warrants pursuant to the First Amendment to Lease, the date of an event of default under the Lease, the Guaranty, the Stadium Pledge, the Mortgage or the Fields Pledge and (ii) at any time after Holder returns ninety percent (90.0%) of the Warrants pursuant to the First Amendment to Lease, the Warrant Date. Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of reducing the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.81, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not current and available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing ((A-B)(X)) by (A), where:

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

In connection with clause (ii) in (A) above, upon written request of the Company, the Holder will promptly provide evidence reasonably acceptable to the Company of the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market that was reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise provided that failure to provide such evidence shall not reduce or otherwise toll the Company’s obligation to deliver the Warrant Shares on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder (x) by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be sold by the Holder under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or otherwise (y) by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. The Company shall deliver, or cause the Transfer Agent to, deliver the Warrant Shares by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise by notifying the Company of such rescission within ten (10) days of delivering the Notice of Exercise.

iv. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

v. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

vi. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, or (iii) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

f) Notice to Holder.

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

g) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. This Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as of the Warrant Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

d) Authorized Shares.

The Company covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations law). Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder to the Company shall be in writing and delivered personally, or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 2014 Champions Gateway, Canton, OH 44708, Attention: (i) Chief Executive Officer, email address: michael.crawford@HOFvillage.com and (ii) General Counsel, email address: Tara.Charnes@HOFVILLAGE.com, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders.

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder or the beneficial owner of this Warrant, on the other hand.

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

This Second Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of February 28, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), by and between HFAKOH001 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and HOF VILLAGE WATERPARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”), and acknowledged and agreed to by HOF VILLAGE NEWCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Guarantor”), as guarantor under the Guaranty (as hereinafter defined) and pledgor under the Stadium Pledge (as hereinafter defined) and pledgor under the Fields Pledge (as hereinafter defined), HOF VILLAGE STADIUM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Stadium Mortgagor”), as mortgagor under the Stadium Mortgage (as hereinafter defined), and HALL OF FAME RESORT & ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (“HOFRECO”).

RECITALS:

A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated as of November 7, 2022 (the “Original Lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of February 23, 2024 (the “First Lease Amendment”; the Original Lease, as amended by the First Lease Amendment, and as may be further amended from time to time, collectively, the “Lease”), with respect to the Premises (as defined in the Lease). All initial capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Lease.

C. In connection with the Lease and the Stadium Pledge, Stadium Mortgagor delivered to Landlord that certain Open-End Leasehold Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as of December 27, 2022, and recorded as of December 29, 2022, as Instrument No. 202212290053025 with the Stark County, Ohio Recorder (as amended from time to time, the “Stadium Mortgage”). The land, improvements, and other mortgaged property described in the Stadium Mortgage are referred to collectively herein as the “Stadium”.

D. In connection with the First Lease Amendment, Guarantor delivered to Landlord (1) that certain Consent & Agreement dated as of February 23, 2024 (together with all amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, replacements and other modifications from time to time, the “Consent”), (2) that certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of February 23, 2024 (together with all amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, replacements and other modifications from time to time, the “Fields Pledge”), (3) that certain Series H Common Stock Purchase Warrant dated as of February 23, 2024, relating to Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (together with all amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, replacements and other modifications from time to time, the “Warrants”).

D. Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease upon the terms and conditions contained herein.

AGREEMENT:

1. Landlord Funding. On the date hereof, Landlord shall fund to Tenant the amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “$1.0M Allowance”), which may be used by (a) Tenant, only for the purpose of the construction of the New Improvements in accordance with the Water Park Construction Documents, (b) Stadium Mortgagor, only for the purpose of paying taxes and assessments due from Stadium Mortgagor to governmental entities or Stark Port (as defined in the Stadium Mortgage) pursuant to the Project Lease (as defined in the Stadium Mortgage), and (c) Guarantor, for the purpose of paying other necessary operating expenses.

2. Base Rent. As of the Effective Date, Exhibit A of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with Exhibit A attached hereto, reflecting (a) an increase in the Base Rent to take into account Landlord’s funding to Tenant of the $1.0M Allowance, and (b) a forbearance of the Base Rent due for the months of March 2024 and April 2024, which shall be due on May 1, 2024. The foregoing is expressly subject to the Tenant Repayment Right (as hereinafter defined) and the Landlord Repayment Option (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the Lease, there shall be no notice period or cure period for the Rent payment due on May 1, 2024, which required Rent payment is indicated in the row labeled “2.6” on Exhibit A attached hereto (it being understood and agreed that Tenant’s failure to pay such Rent payment on May 1, 2024, shall be an immediate Event of Default).

3. Additional Parcels Mortgage; Cooperation.

(a) On the Effective Date, Guarantor shall execute and deliver, and cause to be fully and duly executed and delivered, to Landlord, (1) that certain Open-End Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing attached hereto as Exhibit C regarding Collateral Security (defined below, and subject to subparagraph 3(b) below) (the “Additional Parcels Mortgage”), (2) that certain owner’s affidavit attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Owner’s Affidavit”), and (3) evidence of the authority of Guarantor to execute and deliver this Amendment, the Additional Parcels Mortgage, and Owner’s Affidavit, together with good standing certificates evidencing Guarantor’s good standing in the States of Delaware and Ohio. “Collateral Security” means collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations (as defined in the Additional Parcels Mortgage). The land, improvements, and other mortgaged property described in the Additional Parcels Mortgage are referred to collectively herein as the “Additional Parcels”.

(b) Tenant, Guarantor, Stadium Mortgagor, and HOFRECO (the “HOFV Parties”) acknowledge and agree that Landlord intends to obtain an extended coverage ALTA loan policy of title insurance relating to the Additional Parcels Mortgage (the “Title Policy”) from Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Title Insurer”), but that there was insufficient time prior to the date hereof for Title Insurer to deliver a title commitment to Landlord. Accordingly, the HOFV Parties shall cooperate with Landlord after the date hereof in order for Landlord to obtain the Title Policy, which shall include, without limitation, the HOFV Parties executing such affidavits and indemnities reasonably requested by Title Insurer, and delivering additional evidence of the authority and good standing of the HOFV Parties in connection therewith. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the costs associated with procuring such Title Policy shall be incurred and paid by Landlord.

(c) Provided (i) no event of default exists under the Lease, the Guaranty, the Stadium Pledge, the Stadium Mortgage, the Fields Pledge, the Consent, the Warrants, or the Additional Parcels Mortgage (and no fact or circumstance exists that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, could reasonably be expected to result in any such event of default), and (ii) the New Improvements have been fully completed in accordance with the Water Park Construction Documents, Tenant shall have the right to pay to Landlord the sum of One Million One Hundred Twenty Nine Thousand Thirty Two and 26/100 Dollars ($1,129,032.26) in immediately available funds, upon which (x) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a release of the Additional Parcels Mortgage, executed by Landlord, and (y) from and after the date of such payment, Exhibit A of the Lease shall revert to the original rent schedule under the Original Lease as amended by the First Lease Amendment (which is attached as Exhibit B hereto) (the foregoing right, the “Tenant Repayment Right”). [It is understood and agreed that the Tenant Repayment Right set forth in this Amendment is independent from the “Tenant Repayment Right” set forth in the First Lease Amendment, but Tenant must exercise the Tenant Repayment Right set forth in this Amendment before Tenant may exercise the “Tenant Repayment Right” set forth in the First Lease Amendment.]

(d) In the event that either (1) Title Insurer is unable to issue the Title Policy, or (2) the Title Policy is not in form or substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to issue Tenant a notice stating that Tenant must pay to Landlord the sum of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), in which event Tenant shall pay such sum to Landlord in immediately available funds within ninety (90) days after the New Improvements have been substantially completed, and promptly after receipt of such payment after such election, (x) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a release of the Additional Parcels Mortgage, executed by Landlord, and (y) from and after the date of such payment, Exhibit A of the Lease shall revert to the original rent schedule under the Original Lease as amended by the First Lease Amendment (which is attached as Exhibit B hereto) (the foregoing right, the “Landlord Repayment Option”).

(e) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and exhaustion of all Leasehold Mortgagee’s Cure Rights (if applicable) in accordance with the express terms and conditions of the Lease, Tenant and Guarantor shall cooperate with Landlord, at the sole cost and expense of Guarantor, to transfer operation of all or any portion of the Premises, the Stadium, and the Additional Parcels (as determined by Landlord) to a replacement operator designated by Landlord.

(f) If (i) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and (ii) Mortgagee (as defined in the Additional Parcels Mortgage) forecloses on the Additional Parcels, then the Base Rent (as defined in the Lease), the Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty), and the Obligations (as defined in the Additional Parcels Mortgage), without duplication, shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by any amounts actually received in cash or cash equivalents by Mortgagee upon a sale of the Additional Parcels from and after the date of such receipt.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the reductions set forth in subparagraphs 3(f) above shall not reduce the Base Rent, the Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty), the Obligations (as defined in the Additional Parcels Mortgage), or any other obligations owing to Mortgagee or its affiliates by more than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

4. Status Conferences. Tenant, Guarantor, and Stadium Mortgagor agree to (a) participate in status calls as requested by Landlord regarding the construction of the Premises, the status of the project that the Premises is part of, and the financial condition of Tenant, Guarantor, and Stadium Mortgagor, and (b) promptly provide information reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with the foregoing.

(g) Insurance. Mortgagor shall obtain and maintain or cause to be obtained and maintained, in full force and effect at all times, (1) customary, commercially reasonable insurance with respect to Mortgagor, and (2) customary, commercially reasonable insurance consistent with commercial properties similar to the Property. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee copies of all insurance policies, certificates and other evidences of insurance of the Property.

2. Liens, Contest and Defense of Title.

(a) Mortgagor shall not create or suffer or permit any lien, charge or encumbrance to attach to or be filed against the Property or any part thereof, or interest thereon, or any other rights and properties conveyed, mortgaged, transferred and granted hereunder (except for liens and encumbrances otherwise approved by Mortgagee in writing (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”)), whether such lien, charge or encumbrance is on a parity, inferior or superior to the lien of this Mortgage (collectively, “Liens”), including, without limitation, liens for labor or materials with respect to the Property (collectively, “Mechanic’s Liens”).

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 2, Mortgagor may in good faith and with reasonable diligence contest the validity or amount of any Mechanic’s Liens and defer payment and discharge thereof during the pendency of such contest, provided that: (i) such contest shall prevent the sale or forfeiture of the Property, or any part thereof or any interest therein, to satisfy such Mechanic’s Liens and shall not result in a forfeiture or impairment of the lien of this Mortgage; and (ii) within ten (10) Business Days after Mortgagor has been notified of the filing of any such Mechanic’s Liens, Mortgagor shall have notified Mortgagee in writing of Mortgagor’s intention to contest such Mechanic’s Liens, or to cause such other party to contest such Mechanic’s Liens, and with respect to any Mechanic’s Liens in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), Mortgagor shall have obtained a title insurance endorsement over such Mechanic’s Liens in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, insuring Mortgagee against loss or damage by reason of such Mechanic’s Liens; provided that in lieu of such title insurance endorsement Mortgagor may deposit and keep on deposit with Mortgagee (or such depositary as may be designated by Mortgagee) a sum of money sufficient, in the judgment of Mortgagee, to pay in full such Mechanic’s Liens and all interest thereon. Any such deposits are to be held without any allowance of interest and may be used by Mortgagee in its sole discretion to protect the priority of this Mortgage. In case Mortgagor shall fail to maintain such title insurance or deposit with respect to Mechanic’s Liens over Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), or Mortgagor shall fail to prosecute or cause the prosecution of such contest with reasonable diligence, or to pay or cause to be paid the amount of the Mechanic’s Lien, plus any interest finally determined to be due upon the conclusion of such contest; then Mortgagee may, at its option, apply any money and liquidate any securities then on deposit with Mortgagee (or other depositary designated by Mortgagee) in payment of or on account of such Mechanic’s Liens, or that part thereof then unpaid, together with all interest thereon according to any written bill, notice or statement, without inquiring into the amount, validity or enforceability thereof. If the amount of money so deposited shall (in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment) be insufficient with respect to Mechanic’s Liens in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for the payment in full of such Mechanic’s Liens, together with all interest thereon, then Mortgagor shall forthwith, upon demand, deposit with Mortgagee (or other depositary designated by Mortgagee) the sum which shall (in Mortgagee reasonable judgment, when added to the funds then on deposit with Mortgagee) be necessary to make such payment in full (or such other security as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee). If a Mechanic’s Lien claim is ultimately resolved in the claimant’s favor, then the monies so deposited shall be applied in full payment of such Mechanic’s Lien or that part thereof then unpaid together with all interest thereon (provided no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) shall then exist) when Mortgagee has been furnished with satisfactory evidence of the amount of payment to be made. Any excess monies remaining on deposit with Mortgagee (or other depositary) under this Section 2(b) shall be paid to Mortgagor, provided that no Event of Default shall then exist.

(c) If the lien and security interest of Mortgagee in or to the Property, or any part thereof, shall be endangered or shall be attacked, directly or indirectly, Mortgagor shall immediately notify Mortgagee and shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, or any part thereof, and shall file and prosecute such proceedings and take all actions necessary to preserve and protect such title, lien and security interest in and to the Property.

3. Security Agreement.

(a) Grant of Security Interest. Mortgagor hereby grants to Mortgagee a lien against and security interest in the Personal Property owned by Mortgagor to secure the Obligations. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement with respect to all Personal Property in which Mortgagee is granted a security interest hereunder, and Mortgagee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code, as well as all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(b) Perfection. Mortgagor hereby consents to any instrument that may be reasonably requested by Mortgagee to publish notice or protect, perfect, preserve, continue, extend, or maintain the security interest and lien, and the priority thereof, of this Mortgage or the interest of Mortgagee in the Property, including, without limitation, deeds to secure debt, deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, and instruments of similar character, and Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid (i) all filing and recording taxes and fees incident to each such filing or recording, (ii) all expenses, including without limitation, reasonable third-party attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the preparation and acknowledgement of all such instruments, and (iii) all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments, and charges arising out of or in connection with the delivery of such instruments. Mortgagor hereby consents to, and hereby ratifies, the filing of any financing statements relating to this security interest made prior to the date hereof. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mortgagee as the attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor, to file with the appropriate filing office any such instruments. In addition, Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to cause any financing statement or fixture filing to be filed or recorded without the necessity of obtaining the consent of Mortgagor.

Any merger or consolidation, or any conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) of any of the following properties or interests shall constitute a “Prohibited Transfer”:

(i) Mortgagor’s interest in the Land or Property or any part thereof or interest therein, excepting only sales or other dispositions of personal property collateral (“Obsolete Collateral”) no longer useful in connection with the operation of the Land or Property, provided that prior to the sale or other disposition thereof, such Obsolete Collateral has been replaced by personal property collateral of at least equal value and utility which is subject to the lien hereof with the same priority as with respect to the Obsolete Collateral unless such Obsolete Collateral is no longer needed for the operation of Mortgagor’s business;

(ii) Any change of Mortgagor’s manager, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, not to be unreasonably withheld;

in each case whether any such change, conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, encumbrance or alienation is effected directly, indirectly (including by nominee agreement), voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, the foregoing provisions of this section shall not apply (i) to liens securing the Obligations, (ii) the Permitted Encumbrances, or (iii) to the lien of current real property taxes (“Taxes”) not in default.

(b) Mortgagee evaluated the background and experience of Mortgagor, Village Waterpark, and Stadium Mortgagor, and their respective equity owners in owning and operating property such as the Land and Property, found it acceptable and relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of maintaining the value of Mortgagor’s fee interest in the Property which is, inter alia, Mortgagee’s security for the Security Documents. Mortgagor and Village Waterpark were ably represented by a licensed attorney at law in the negotiation and documentation of the Waterpark Lease and bargained at arm’s length and without duress of any kind for all of the terms and conditions of the foregoing, including this provision.

(a) If a Prohibited Transfer shall occur; or

(c) Mortgagor fails to materially perform or cause to be performed any other obligation or materially observe any other condition, covenant, term, agreement or provision required to be performed or observed by Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage and not specifically referred to elsewhere in this Section 5; provided, however, that if such failure by its nature can be cured, then so long as the continued operation and safety of the Property, and the priority, validity and enforceability of the liens created by this Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents and the value of the Property are not impaired, threatened or jeopardized, then Mortgagor shall have a period (“Cure Period”) of thirty (30) days after Mortgagor obtains actual knowledge of such failure or receives written notice of such failure to cure the same and an Event of Default shall not be deemed to exist during the Cure Period (provided, however, such period shall be limited to ten (10) Business Days if such failure can be cured by the payment of money), provided further that if Mortgagor commences to cure such failure during the Cure Period and is diligently and in good faith attempting to effect such cure, the Cure Period shall be extended for sixty (60) additional days; or

(d) If any default occurs under any Security Documents or any amendments, modifications, or restatements to the same beyond all applicable notice and cure periods.

6. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (regardless of the pendency of any proceeding which has or might have the effect of preventing Mortgagor from complying with the terms of this instrument), and in addition to such other rights as may be available under any other Security Document or under applicable law, but subject at all times to any mandatory legal requirements:

(a) Acceleration. Mortgagee may declare all Obligations hereby secured, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without other notice or demand of any kind (and upon the occurrence of any default described in the Guaranty, the Stadium Pledge Agreement, the Fields Pledge Agreement, and/or the Waterpark Lease, such Obligations shall automatically become due and payable without any action by Mortgagee).

(b) Uniform Commercial Code. Mortgagee shall, with respect to the Personal Property, have all the rights, options and remedies of a Mortgagee under the Code, including without limitation, to the extent provided by the Code, the right to the possession of any such property or any part thereof, and the right to enter with legal process any premises where any such property may be found. Any requirement of the Code for reasonable notification shall be met by mailing written notice to Mortgagor at its address set forth in Section 17 hereof at least ten (10) days prior to the sale or other event for which such notice is required. Any such sale may be held as part of and in conjunction with any foreclosure sale of the other properties and rights constituting the Property in order that the Property, including the Personal Property, may be sold as a single parcel if Mortgagee elects. Mortgagor hereby agrees that if Mortgagee demands or attempts to take possession of the Personal Property or any portion thereof in exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder, Mortgagor will promptly turn over and deliver possession thereof to Mortgagee, and Mortgagor authorizes, to the extent now or hereafter permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee, its employees and agents, and potential bidders or purchasers to enter upon the Property or any other office, building or property where the Personal Property or any portion thereof may at the time be located (or believed to be located) and Mortgagee may (i) remove the same therefrom or render the same inoperable (with or without removal from such location); (ii) repair, operate, use or manage the Personal Property or any portion thereof; (iii) maintain, repair or store the Personal Property or any portion thereof; (iv) view, inspect and prepare the Personal Property or any portion thereof for sale, lease or disposition; (v) sell, lease, dispose of or consume the same or bid thereon; or (vi) incorporate the Personal Property or any portion thereof into the Land or the Improvements or Fixtures and sell, convey or transfer the same. The expenses of retaking, selling and otherwise disposing of the Personal Property, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall constitute additional Obligations and shall be payable upon demand with interest to Mortgagee, as applicable.

(c) Foreclosure. Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable laws, have the right to institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Mortgage under any applicable provision of law in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner.

(d) Partial Foreclosure. Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable laws, have the right to institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Mortgage for the portion of the Obligations then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Mortgage for the balance of the Obligations not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority.

(e) Sale of Property. In the event of the sale of some or all of the Property pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Mortgagee in its discretion may elect, and if Mortgagee so elects, Mortgagee may sell the personal property covered by this Mortgage concurrently with the real property covered hereby or at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by applicable law, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Property are sold or the Obligations are paid in full. Mortgagee may, at its option, sell the Property subject to the rights of any lessees of the Property, and the failure to make any such lessee parties to any foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose its rights will not be asserted by Mortgagor to be a defense to any proceedings instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations. If the Obligations are now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other Mortgages, Mortgagee may at its option exhaust the remedies granted under any of said Mortgages either concurrently or independently, and in such order as it may determine in its discretion. Upon any foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Obligations as a credit to the purchase price. In the event of any foreclosure sale by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

(f) Appointment of Receiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee shall, as a matter of right, without notice and without giving bond to Mortgagor or anyone claiming by, under or through it, and without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or the then value of the Property, be entitled to have a receiver appointed pursuant to the laws of the State of Ohio of all or any part of the Property and the rents, issues and profits thereof, with such power as the court making such appointment shall confer, and Mortgagor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver and shall not oppose any such appointment. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any such receiver may, to the extent permitted under applicable law, without notice, enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Mortgagor or other persons and any and all property therefrom, and may hold, operate and manage the same and receive all earnings, income, rents, issues and proceeds accruing with respect thereto or any part thereof, whether during the pendency of any foreclosure or until any right of redemption shall expire or otherwise. All laws of the State of Ohio pertaining to the remedies described in Sections 6(b) through (f) are herein referred to as “Foreclosure Laws”.

(g) Specific Performance. Mortgagee shall be entitled to institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, in the Waterpark Lease, Guaranty, and/or in any of the other Security Documents.

(h) Taking Possession; Collecting Rents; etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, upon demand by Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall surrender to Mortgagee and Mortgagee may enter and take possession of the Property or any part thereof personally, by its agent or attorneys or be placed in possession pursuant to court order as mortgagee in possession or receiver as provided in the Foreclosure Laws, and Mortgagee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in its discretion, personally, by its agents or attorneys or pursuant to court order as mortgagee in possession or receiver as provided in the Foreclosure Laws may enter upon and take and maintain possession of all or any part of the Property, together with all documents, books, records, papers, and accounts of Mortgagor relating thereto, and may exclude Mortgagor and any agents and servants thereof wholly therefrom and may, on behalf of Mortgagor, or in its own name as Mortgagee and under the powers herein granted:

(i) hold, operate, manage and control all or any part of the Property and conduct the business, if any, thereof, either personally or by its agents, with full power to use such measures, legal or equitable, as in its discretion may be deemed proper or necessary to enforce the payment or security of the rents, issues, deposits, profits, and avails of the Property, including without limitation actions for recovery of rent, actions in forcible detainer, and actions in distress for rent, all without notice to Mortgagor;

(ii) cancel or terminate any lease or sublease of all or any part of the Property for any cause or on any ground that would entitle Mortgagor to cancel the same;

(iii) elect to disaffirm any lease or sublease of all or any part of the Property made subsequent to this Mortgage without Mortgagee’s prior written consent;

(iv) extend or modify any then existing Leases and make new Leases of all or any part of the Property, which extensions, modifications, and new Leases may provide for terms to expire, or for options to lessees to extend or renew terms to expire, beyond the expiration date of the Waterpark Lease and the issuance of a deed or deeds to a purchaser or purchasers at a foreclosure sale, it being understood and agreed that any such Leases, and the options or other such provisions to be contained therein, shall be binding upon Mortgagor, all persons whose interests in the Property are subject to the lien hereof, and the purchaser or purchasers at any foreclosure sale, notwithstanding any redemption from sale, discharge of the Obligations, satisfaction of any foreclosure decree, or issuance of any certificate of sale or deed to any such purchaser;

(v) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments, and improvements in connection with the Property as may seem judicious to Mortgagee, to insure and reinsure the Property and all risks incidental to Mortgagee’s possession, operation and management thereof, and to receive all rents, issues, deposits, profits, and avails therefrom;

(vi) apply the net income, after allowing a reasonable fee for the collection thereof and for the management of the Property, to the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other charges applicable to the Property, or in reduction of the Obligations in such order and manner as Mortgagee shall select, in its sole discretion; and

(vii) receive and collect the rents, issues, profits and revenues of the Property personally or through a receiver so long as an Event of Default shall exist and during the pendency of any foreclosure proceedings and during any redemption period, and Mortgagor agrees to consent to a receiver if it is believed necessary or desirable by Mortgagee to enforce its rights under this subsection. The collection of rents, issues, profits or revenues of the Property by Mortgagee shall in no way waive the right of Mortgagee to foreclose this Mortgage in the event of any said Event of Default.

(i) Intentionally Omitted.

(j) Possession. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Mortgagee a mortgagee in possession in the absence of the actual taking of possession of the Property. The right to enter and take possession of the Property and use any personal property therein, to manage, operate, conserve and improve the same, and to collect the rents, issues and profits thereof, shall be in addition to all other rights or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder or afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof or under the other Security Documents. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the expenses (including any receiver’s fees, reasonable counsel fees, costs and agent’s compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured hereby which expenses Mortgagor promises to pay upon demand together with interest thereon until paid to Mortgagee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mortgagee shall not be liable to account to Mortgagor for any action taken pursuant hereto other than to account for any rents actually received by Mortgagee. Without taking possession of the Property, Mortgagee may, in the event the Property become vacant or are abandoned, take such steps as it deems appropriate or as required by any applicable law to register, maintain, repair, protect and secure the Property (including hiring watchmen therefor) and all costs incurred in so doing shall constitute so much additional Obligations payable upon demand.

(k) Indemnity. Mortgagor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Mortgagee and its employees, officers and agents from and against any and all liabilities, claims and obligations which may be incurred, asserted or imposed upon them or any of them as a result of or in connection with any use, operation, or lease of any of the Land and Property, or any part thereof, or as a result of Mortgagee seeking to obtain performance of any of the obligations due with respect to the Land and Property; provided, however, the foregoing indemnity shall not extend to such liabilities, claims or obligations as result from the fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Mortgagee, its employees, officers or agents or which arise as a result of acts or omissions that occur after a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

In case Mortgagee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise or in the event Mortgagee commences advertising of an intended foreclosure sale in connection with a foreclosure judgment, and such proceeding or advertisement shall have been withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case (i) Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights, (ii) all rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, (iii) each and every Event of Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall be deemed to be a continuing Event of Default, and (iv) neither this Mortgage, nor the Waterpark Lease, nor the Guaranty, nor the Obligations, nor any other Security Document shall be or shall be deemed to have been reinstated or otherwise affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment; and Mortgagor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with this sentence.

(l) Forbearance. Any rights granted hereunder or in the other Security Documents with respect to this Mortgage shall be subject to the Security Documents in all respects, and in the case of any conflicts between the terms of this Mortgage and such sections of the Security Documents, such sections of the Security Documents (if and as applicable) shall control.

7. Compliance with Foreclosure Laws.

(a) In the event that any provision in this Mortgage shall be inconsistent with any provision of the Foreclosure Laws, the provisions of the Foreclosure Laws shall take precedence over the inconsistent provisions of this Mortgage, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Mortgage that can be construed in a manner consistent with the Foreclosure Laws.

(b) If any provision of this Mortgage shall grant to Mortgagee any rights or remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which are more limited than the rights that would otherwise be vested in Mortgagee under the Foreclosure Laws in the absence of said provision, Mortgagee shall be vested with the rights granted in the Foreclosure Laws to the full extent permitted by law.

8. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Marshalling of Assets, Statute of Limitations, Right of Redemption, etc. Mortgagor shall not and will not apply for or avail itself of any appraisement, valuation, stay, statute of limitation, reinstatement, extension or exemption laws, now existing or hereafter enacted in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage, but hereby waives the benefit of all such laws to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Mortgagor for itself and all who may claim through or under it waives any and all right to have the property and estates comprising the Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may order the Property sold as an entirety. In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this instrument, the whole of the Property may be sold in one parcel as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels at the same or different times, all as Mortgagee may determine in its sole discretion. Mortgagee shall have the right to become the purchaser at any sale made under or by virtue of this instrument and Mortgagee so purchasing at any such sale shall have the right to be credited upon the amount of the bid made therefor by Mortgagee with the amount payable to Mortgagee out of the net proceeds of such sale. In the event of any such sale, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and the other Obligations, if not previously due, shall be and become immediately due and payable without demand or notice of any kind. The Property is neither agricultural property, nor property in agricultural use nor used for agricultural purposes, nor the homestead of Mortgagor, but rather is the site of a construction and renovation project related to a mixed-use facility to be located on the Property. Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor, and on behalf of all who may claim through or under Mortgagor in acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage.

9. Costs and Expenses of Foreclosure. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in any suit to foreclose the lien hereof there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the decree for sale all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee for appraiser’s fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographic charges, publication costs and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after the entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examination, guarantee policies, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Mortgagee may deem to be reasonably necessary either to prosecute any foreclosure action or to evidence to the bidder at any sale pursuant thereto the true condition of the title to or the value of the Property, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, all of which expenditures shall become additional Obligations which Mortgagor agrees to pay and all of such expenditures shall be immediately due and payable from the date of expenditure until paid to Mortgagee.

10. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Property shall be distributed in the following order of priority: first, on account of all costs and expenses incident to the foreclosure or other proceedings including all such items as are mentioned in Section 9 hereof; second, to all items, which under the terms hereof constitute Obligations with interest thereon as herein provided; third to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to the same.

11. Rights Cumulative.

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each right, power and remedy herein conferred upon Mortgagee is cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy, express or implied, now or hereafter provided by law or in equity, and each and every right, power, and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be exercised from time to time concurrently or independently and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee.

(b) By accepting payment of any sums secured by this Mortgage after the due date thereof, by accepting performance of any of Mortgagor’s obligations hereunder after such performance is due, or by making any payment or performing any act on behalf of Mortgagor which Mortgagor was obligated but failed to perform or pay, Mortgagee shall not waive, nor be deemed to have waived, its rights to require payment when due of all sums secured hereby and the due, punctual and complete performance of Mortgagor’s, Village Waterpark’s or Stadium Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage, the Guaranty, the Waterpark Lease, and all other Security Documents. No waiver or modification of any of the terms of this Mortgage shall be binding on Mortgagee unless set forth in a writing signed by Mortgagee and any such waiver by Mortgagee of any Event of Default by Mortgagor under this Mortgage shall not constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default under the same or any other provision hereof. If any Mortgagee holds any additional security for any of the obligations secured hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it may pursue its rights or remedies with respect to such security at its option before, contemporaneously with, or after a sale of the Property or any portion thereof.

(c) No act or omission by Mortgagee shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the liability of Mortgagor, Village Waterpark, or Stadium Mortgagor under the Guaranty, this Mortgage, the Waterpark Lease, or any of the other Security Documents, or any other obligation of Mortgagor, or any subsequent purchaser of the Property or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor, or preclude Mortgagee from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Event of Default then made or of any subsequent Event of Default, or alter the security interest or lien of this Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents except as expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Mortgagee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the exercise of one right, power or remedy shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or thereafter any other right, power or remedy; and no delay or omission of Mortgagee in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing hereunder or under any of the other Security Documents or arising otherwise shall impair any such right, power or remedy, or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or acquiescence therein. Except as otherwise specifically required herein and by applicable law, notice of the exercise of any right, remedy or power granted to Mortgagee by this Mortgage is not required to be given.

12. Successors and Assigns; Assignment.

(a) This Mortgage and each and every provision hereof shall be binding upon Mortgagor and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, each and every record fee owner from time to time of the Property or any other person having an interest therein), and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns.

(b) All of the covenants of this Mortgage shall run with the Land and Property and be binding on any successor owners, lessors, and lessees of the Land and Property. In the event that the fee interest in the Property or the ownership of the Personal Property or any portion thereof becomes vested in a person or persons other than Mortgagor, Mortgagee may, without notice to Mortgagor, deal with such successor or successors in interest of Mortgagor with reference to this Mortgage and the Obligations in the same manner as with Mortgagor without in any way releasing or discharging Mortgagor from its obligations hereunder. Mortgagor will give immediate written notice to Mortgagee of any conveyance, transfer or change of ownership of the Property, but nothing in this Section shall vary or negate the provisions of Section 4 hereof.

(c) The rights and obligations of Mortgagor under this Mortgage may not be assigned and any purported assignment by Mortgagor shall be null and void. Mortgagee shall have the right to sell, assign or transfer portions of its right, title and/or interest in and to this Mortgage and the other Security Documents (including the sale of participation interests therein), without the consent or approval of Mortgagor, and Mortgagor agrees to cooperate in all respects with Mortgagee in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the execution of all documents and instruments reasonably requested by Mortgagee or such transferee provided that such documents and instruments do not materially adversely affect any of Mortgagor’s duties or obligations under this Mortgage and the other Security Documents.

13. Execution of Separate Security Agreements, Financing Statements, etc.; Estoppel Letter; Corrective Documents.

(a) Mortgagor will, and will cause Village Waterpark and Stadium Mortgagor to execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, notes, mortgages, security agreements, financing statements, agreements, documents and assurances as Mortgagee shall reasonably require for the better assuring, conveying, granting, assigning and confirming unto Mortgagee all property conveyed hereby or property intended so to be, whether now owned by Mortgagor or hereafter acquired. Without limitation of the foregoing, Mortgagor will assign to Mortgagee, upon request, as further security for the Obligations, its interest in all agreements, contracts, licenses and permits affecting the Property, such assignments to be made by instruments reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, but no such assignment shall be construed as a consent by Mortgagee to any agreement, contract, license or permit or to impose upon Mortgagee any obligations with respect thereto.

(b) From time to time, but no more than once per year if an uncured Event of Default does not exist, Mortgagor will, or will cause Village Waterpark and Stadium Mortgagor to, furnish, within twenty (20) Business Days after request from Mortgagee, a written and duly acknowledged statement of the amount due under the Waterpark Lease, this Mortgage and the other Security Documents and whether any alleged offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations.

(c) Mortgagor and Mortgagee shall, at the request of the other, promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents of this Mortgage or in the execution or acknowledgment hereof or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith or in the execution or acknowledgment of such instrument and will execute and deliver any and all additional instruments as may be requested by Mortgagee or Mortgagor, as the case may be, to correct such defect, error or omission.

14. Subrogation. If any part of the Obligations is used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge or satisfy, in whole or in part, any prior lien or encumbrance upon the Property or any part thereof, then by advancing the monies to make such payment, Mortgagee shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder thereof in and to such other lien or encumbrance and any additional security held by such holder, and shall have the benefit of the priority of the same.

15. Governing Law. In all respects, including, without limitation, matters of construction and performance of this Mortgage and the obligations arising hereunder, this Mortgage shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Ohio.

16. Assignment of Leases and Other Agreements Affecting the Property. In order to further secure payment of the Obligations and the observance, performance and discharge of Mortgagor’s obligations under the Security Documents, Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all of Mortgagor’s right, title, interest and estate in, to and under all of the Leases and in and to all of the Rents and Profits (defined as all rents, income, issues and profits arising from any Leases, or other agreements affecting the use, enjoyment or occupancy of the Property now or hereafter made affecting the Property or any portion thereof). Unless and until an Event of Default occurs, Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect the Rents and Profits (except as otherwise provided in this Mortgage) as and when they become due and payable. Neither these assignments nor Mortgagee’s enforcement of the provisions of these assignments (including the receipt of the Rents) will operate to subordinate the lien of this Mortgage to any of the rights of any lessee or other party to any other agreement affecting the use, enjoyment or occupancy of the Property of all or any part of the Property, or to subject Mortgagee to any liability to any such lessee for the performance of any obligations of Mortgagor under any such Lease or other agreement affecting the Property unless and until Mortgagee agrees to such subordination or assumes such liability by an appropriate written instrument.

17. Notices. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon delivery, if delivered in person, (ii) one (1) Business Day after having been deposited for overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (iii) three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the addresses set forth below in this Section or as such party may from time to time designate by written notice to the other parties.

Mortgagor shall protect and indemnify Mortgagee from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Mortgagee or the members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of Mortgagee by reason of (a) ownership of the Property or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents or other sum therefrom, (b) any accident to, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to Property occurring on or about the Property or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults or vault space, if any, streets or ways, except to the extent caused by Mortgagee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (c) any failure on the part of Village Waterpark, Stadium Mortgagor, and/or Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in this Mortgage, the Waterpark Lease, the Guaranty, the Stadium Pledge Agreement, the Fields Pledge Agreement, and/or any of the other Security Documents, or any agreement, reimbursement agreement, guaranty, or any other agreements executed by Village Waterpark, Stadium Mortgagor, and/or Mortgagor or any other persons directly or indirectly liable for the payment of the Obligations, (d) any failure on the part of Village Waterpark, Stadium Mortgagor, and/or Mortgagor to perform or comply with (i) any other agreement executed by Village Waterpark, Stadium Mortgagor, and/or Mortgagor, or (ii) any requirement of law, (e) payment of sums for the protection of the lien and security interest of Mortgagee in and to the Property, (f) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof for construction or maintenance or otherwise, or (g) any action brought against Mortgagee attacking the validity, priority or enforceability of this Mortgage, the Guaranty, the Waterpark Lease, the Stadium Pledge Agreement, the Fields Pledge Agreement, any other Security Document, or any agreement, reimbursement agreement, guaranty, or any other agreements executed by Village Waterpark, Stadium Mortgagor, and/or Mortgagor or any other persons directly or indirectly liable for the payment of the Obligations; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not extend to such liabilities, claims or obligations as result from the fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Mortgagee, its employees, officers or agents or which arise as a result of acts or omissions which occur after a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Any amounts payable to Mortgagee under this paragraph shall bear interest until paid to Mortgagee and shall be secured by this Mortgage. In the event any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Mortgagee or the members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, agents or employees of Mortgagee by reason of any such occurrence, Mortgagor, upon the request of Mortgagee and at Mortgagor’s sole expense, shall resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by Mortgagor and approved by Mortgagee. Such obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination, satisfaction or release of this Mortgage.

27. Miscellaneous.

a. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Mortgage.

b. Captions and Pronouns. The captions and headings of the various Sections of this Mortgage are for convenience only, and are not to be construed as confining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Whenever the context requires or permits, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine, feminine and neuter shall be freely interchangeable.

c. Mortgagee Not Joint Venturers or Partners of Mortgagor or Newco. Mortgagor and Mortgagee acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Mortgagee be deemed to be a partner or joint venturer with Mortgagor, Village Waterpark, or Stadium Mortgagor. Without limitation of the foregoing, and Mortgagee shall not be deemed to be such a partner or joint venturer on account of it becoming a mortgagee in possession or exercising any rights pursuant to this Mortgage or pursuant to any other instrument or document evidencing or securing any of the Obligations, or otherwise.

d. Replacement of Security Documents. Upon notice to Mortgagor of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Security Document, Mortgagor will, or will cause Village Waterpark or Stadium Mortgagor, as applicable, to execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement identical in form and substance to such Security Document and dated as of the date of the original Security Document and upon such execution and delivery all references in any of the Security Documents to such Security Document shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Security Document.

e. Waiver of Consequential Damages. Mortgagor covenants and agrees that in no event shall Mortgagee be liable for consequential or punitive damages, whatever the nature of a failure by Mortgagee to perform its obligation(s), if any, under the Security Documents, and Mortgagor hereby expressly waives all claims that it now or may hereafter have against Mortgagee for such consequential or punitive damages.

f. After Acquired Property. The lien hereof will automatically attach, without further act, to all after-acquired Property attached to and/or used in connection with or in the operation of the Property or any part thereof.

g. Severability. If any provision hereof should be held unenforceable or void, then such provision shall be deemed separable from the remaining provisions and shall in no way affect the validity of this Mortgage except that if such provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then Mortgagee may, at its option declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.

h. Interpretation of Agreement. Should any provision of this Mortgage require interpretation or construction in any judicial, administrative, or other proceeding or circumstance, it is agreed that the parties hereto intend that the court, administrative body, or other entity interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the provisions hereof shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the party who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of both parties hereto have fully participated in the preparation of all provisions of this Mortgage, including, without limitation, all Exhibits attached to this Mortgage.

i. Effect of Extensions and Amendments.

j. Mortgagee-in-Possession. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Mortgagee a mortgagee-in-possession in the absence of the actual taking of possession of the Property by Mortgagee pursuant to this Mortgage.

k. Intentionally Omitted.

l. Complete Agreement. This Mortgage, the Waterpark Lease, the Guaranty and the other Security Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and the Security Documents may not be modified, altered or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by Mortgagee.

m. Further Assurances. Mortgagor shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered, any and all such further assurances and other agreements or instruments, and take or cause to be taken all such other actions, as shall be reasonably necessary from time to time to give full effect to the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO MORTGAGEE TO PROVIDE THE LOAN DESCRIBED HEREIN AND IN THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

29. Additional Waivers. MORTGAGOR EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY MORTGAGEE ON THIS MORTGAGE , ANY AND EVERY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO (A) INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN UNLESS UNDER THE APPLICABLE RULES OF COURT SUCH COUNTERCLAIM MUST BE ASSERTED IN SUCH PROCEEDING, OR CLAIMS BASED ON MORTGAGEE’S FAILURE TO ACT IN A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE MANNER, OR (B) HAVE THE SAME CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER OR SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNLESS UNDER THE APPLICABLE RULES OF COURT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING MUST BE CONSOLIDATED WITH THE PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY MORTGAGEE.

30. Compliance with Security Documents.

31. Attorneys’ Fees. Whenever attorneys’ fees are provided to be paid, the term shall include any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, attorney’s accountant fees, paralegal and law clerk (and similar person’s) fees, including but not limited to, fees at the pretrial, trial and appellate levels, and in collection proceedings, incurred or paid by Mortgagee in protecting its interest in the collateral and enforcing its rights hereunder.

32. Waiver of Mortgagor’s Rights. BY EXECUTION OF THIS MORTGAGE, MORTGAGOR EXPRESSLY: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT TO ACCELERATE THE OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED BY THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY AND ALL REMEDIES GRANTED TO MORTGAGEE IN THIS MORTGAGE AND OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR OTHERWISE BY APPLICABLE LAW, WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OTHER THAN SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE WATERPARK LEASE, THE GUARANTY, THE STADIUM PLEDGE AGREEMENT, THE FIELDS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, THIS MORTGAGE, AND/OR THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS, OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE NON-WAIVABLE LAW; (B) WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH MORTGAGOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES (INCLUDING THE FIFTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS THEREOF), THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION FOR THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY MORTGAGEE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED TO MORTGAGEE, EXCEPT SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED IN THIS MORTGAGE AND THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS; (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT MORTGAGOR HAS READ THIS MORTGAGE AND ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS MORTGAGE AND ITS PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED FULLY TO MORTGAGOR, AND MORTGAGOR HAS CONSULTED WITH COUNSEL OF MORTGAGOR’S CHOICE PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS MORTGAGE; (D) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL WAIVERS OF THE AFORESAID RIGHTS OF MORTGAGOR HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY MORTGAGOR AS PART OF A BARGAINED FOR LOAN TRANSACTION; AND (E) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS MORTGAGE, THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, AND ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS GIVEN TO SECURE THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS ARE VALID, BINDING, AND ENFORCEABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE TERMS.

33. Future Advances. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Mortgage or the other Security Documents to the contrary, this Mortgage shall secure: (i) a maximum principal amount of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00),exclusive of interest accrued thereon and any items described in (ii) below, including any additional advances that the Mortgagee is obligated to make from time to time after the date hereof pursuant to the Security Documents, and (ii) all other amounts payable by Mortgagor, or advanced by Mortgagee for the account, or on behalf, of Mortgagor, pursuant to the Security Documents, including amounts advanced with respect to the Property for the payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and other costs and impositions incurred for the protection of the Property to the same extent as if the future obligations and advances were made on the date of execution of the Mortgage (i.e., Protective Advances), all of which advances are intended to comply with and have the highest priority contemplated by Section 5301.233 of the Ohio Revised Code. Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 5301.232, the lien of this Mortgage with respect to any future advances, modifications, extensions, and renewals referred to herein and made from time to time shall have the same priority to which this Mortgage otherwise would be entitled as of the date this Mortgage is executed and recorded without regard to the fact that any such future advance, modification, extension, or renewal may occur after the Mortgage is executed. If and to the extent applicable, Mortgagor hereby waives any right it may have under Section 5301.232(C) of the Ohio Revised Code.
