1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Venu
Holding Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a series of agreements relating to
the continued development, financing, ownership, leasing, and operation of the Company’s open-air amphitheater and entertainment
complex under development in McKinney, Texas (“The Sunset McKinney”). The agreements were executed and delivered by
the parties on October 20, 2026 (the “Execution Date”) (notwithstanding the dates set forth therein). The agreements
effected the (i) amendment and restatement of the Company’s Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement with the City of McKinney,
Texas (“McKinney”) and related municipal entities and (ii) sale-leaseback transaction with STORE Capital Acquisitions,
LLC (“STORE”) involving the approximately 46-acre tract of land (the “McKinney Parcel”) on which
The Sunset McKinney and related improvements are being developed (the “McKinney Sale-Leaseback”).
As
previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 17, 2025 by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), on January 14, 2025, the Company, through Sunset Ground at McKinney LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company (“Sunset Ground”), closed on the purchase of the McKinney Parcel from the McKinney Economic Development
Corporation (“MEDC”) for an aggregate purchase price of $35,000,000, consisting of $10,000,000 in cash (the “Cash
Amount”) and $25,000,000 represented by a secured promissory note issued to MEDC (the “MEDC Note”). The
MEDC Note bears no interest, is subject to prepayment without penalty, is secured by a Deed of Trust conveying a first-priority lien
on the McKinney Parcel (the “MEDC Deed of Trust”), and is personally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by J.W. Roth,
the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the “Chairman”), and a third-party shareholder of the Company
(together with the Chairman, the “MEDC Note Guarantors”) pursuant to a Personal Guaranty (the “McKinney Guaranty”).
This
Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) includes a summary of certain material terms of the agreements
relating to the transactions described above. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this Current Report have the meanings
given to them in the agreement identified in the applicable heading.
Amended
and Restated Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement
On
the Execution Date, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement (the “A&R
Agreement”) with McKinney, MEDC, and the McKinney Community Development Corporation (“MCDC”; together with
MEDC and McKinney, the “City Parties”), effective as of April 16, 2024. The A&R Agreement amends and restates
in its entirety the original Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement, dated April 16, 2024 (the “Original Agreement”),
entered into by the Company and the City Parties, as previously amended on October 15, 2024, December 3, 2024, October 6, 2025, and January
6, 2026 (the Original Agreement, together with all amendments thereto, the “Prior Agreement”). A description of the
Prior Agreement is set forth under the heading “Public-Private Partnership in McKinney, Texas” in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026.
The
A&R Agreement supersedes and replaces the Prior Agreement without affecting any rights, obligations, liabilities, defaults, claims,
or causes of action that accrued before the Execution Date and preserves the lien priority and superiority established by the recording
of the Original Agreement. The A&R Agreement consolidates the Original Agreement and its four prior amendments into a single operative
instrument, reflects the City Parties’ consent to the McKinney Sale-Leaseback, establishes the terms and conditions governing that
transaction, and makes certain other modifications to the terms of the Prior Agreement in connection with the foregoing. Under the A&R
Agreement, the Company remains responsible for the development, construction, operation, and maintenance of The Sunset McKinney.
The
A&R Agreement modifies certain terms related to the purchase price for the McKinney Parcel. Under the A&R Agreement, the MEDC
Note will be due and payable by the Company in full on the earlier of (i) 30 days following the Company’s receipt of a Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy (a “TCO”), or (ii) the expiration of the Guarantor Cure Period (or if the Guarantor Cure
Period is never invoked, then 30 days following the occurrence of an Owner Default). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects
that amounts repaid under the MEDC Note will be reimbursed to the Company and its obligations under the MEDC Note will be forgiven, as
discussed below. The A&R Agreement also required Sunset Operations at McKinney, LLC (“Sunset Operations”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, to enter into a Security Agreement with the City Parties concurrently with the execution and delivery
of the A&R Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which Sunset Operations granted the City Parties
a security interest in certain assets and personal property constituting revenues, receipts, income, and proceeds arising from or attributable
to the operations, activities, and interests of Sunset Operations in connection with The Sunset McKinney, including all of Sunset Operations’
right, title, and interest in and to all rents, event revenues, parking revenues, ticket revenues, concession revenues, sponsorship revenues,
suite revenues, naming rights revenues, and licensing fees generated by or from The Sunset McKinney, as collateral securing the MEDC
Note and all obligations and liabilities of the Company, Sunset Ground, and any debtor, owing to the City Parties, under, by virtue of,
or in connection with the A&R Agreement. The A&R Agreement further requires the Company to cause all revenues derived from The
Sunset McKinney to be transferred to Sunset Operations pursuant to one or more written agreements.
Pursuant
to the Prior Agreement, MEDC was required to invest the $10,000,000 Cash Amount portion of the purchase price in a public fund investment
pool or other investment instrument and to pay the interest received on such investment (the “Accrued Interest”) to
the Company. Under the A&R Agreement, MEDC continued to invest the Cash Amount and pay the Accrued Interest to the Company until
the Investment Termination Date, which occurred on the Execution Date upon the closing of the sale of the McKinney Parcel to STORE (the
“Land Sale”) as part of the McKinney Sale-Leaseback. Upon the closing of the Land Sale, (i) MEDC became entitled to
retain the Cash Amount, which the Company expects will ultimately be reimbursed as discussed below, and is no longer obligated to invest
it or pay Accrued Interest to the Company, and (ii) consistent with the Prior Agreement, the Company is obligated to repay all Accrued
Interest previously received from MEDC from the date the Cash Amount was first invested through the Investment Termination Date, with
such repayment to be made via the allocation of certain Ticket Fee revenues between the parties.
Although
MEDC became entitled to retain the Cash Amount upon the closing of the Land Sale and the MEDC Note may become due and payable, consistent
with the Prior Agreement, the A&R Agreement provides that MEDC will reimburse the Company for the full $35,000,000 purchase price
paid by the Company for the McKinney Parcel, including the $10,000,000 Cash Amount paid by the Company in January 2025 at the initial
closing of the sale and the $25,000,000 principal amount repaid by the Company under the MEDC Note, within 30 days following the Company’s
receipt of (i) a TCO by December 3, 2027, the date that is 36 months after the date of Entitlement, or (ii) if a TCO is not received
by such deadline, a Certificate of Occupancy (a “CO”), which the Company must obtain by June 3, 2028, the date that
is 42 months after the date of Entitlement, to avoid an Owner Default. Accordingly, although the MEDC Note may become due and payable, upon the Company’s receipt of a TCO
or a CO by the deadlines prescribed in the A&R Agreement, MEDC will reimburse the Company for the $10,000,000
Cash Amount and the $25,000,000 principal amount repaid under the MEDC Note a Certificate of Occupancy by certain deadlines then the
$10,000,000 cash payment made by the Company in January 2025 at the initial closing will be reimbursed to the Company. Accordingly, upon
the Company’s timely satisfaction of the TCO or CO requirements, the Company will be entitled to reimbursement of the full $35,000,000
purchase price that it paid for the McKinney Parcel, notwithstanding MEDC’s current entitlement to retain the Cash Amount following
the Land Sale and the Company’s obligation to repay the MEDC Note. In connection with such reimbursement, MEDC will also release
the Company and the MEDC Note Guarantors from their respective obligations under the MEDC Note, the MEDC Deed of Trust, the Collateral
Assignment of Rents, and the Personal Guaranty.
Among
other terms, the A&R Agreement: (i) acknowledges the Company’s satisfaction of certain project planning, design, and construction-related
requirements under the Prior Agreement relating to the development of The Sunset McKinney; (ii) makes certain adjustments to the terms
of the contributions and financial incentives that are payable by the City Parties to the Company, including imposing an aggregate $3,000,000
cap on certain annual operations incentives payable during the five-year period comprising years 12 through 16 following the date of
the first Commercial Event at The Sunset McKinney, revising certain minimum annual paid-attendance requirements that, together with existing
minimum annual Commercial Event requirements, must be satisfied for the Company to receive certain financial incentives from the City
Parties, and reducing the amount of the Separated Materials Tax Grant that McKinney must pay to the Company; (iii) modifies the Company’s
right to contest certain property-tax assessments, including restricting the Company’s ability to challenge property valuations
at or below $220,000,000 (the total anticipated development budget for The Sunset McKinney) without McKinney’s prior written consent,
with such restrictions applying to the aggregate appraised value of the Ground Estate and Improvements Estate following the closing of
the Land Sale; and (iv) confirms the Company’s continued full and exclusive control over the management and operation of The Sunset
McKinney.
In
connection with the McKinney Sale-Leaseback, the A&R Agreement: (i) recognizes the allocation of ownership interests in the McKinney
Parcel and the improvements thereon resulting from the McKinney Sale-Leaseback, pursuant to which STORE owns the fee simple estate in
the McKinney Parcel, the Horizontal Improvements, and related property interests (collectively, the “Ground Estate”),
while Sunset Ground holds a leasehold interest in the Ground Estate and retains ownership of the Vertical Improvements (the “Improvements
Estate”); (ii) establishes certain conditions to the City Parties’ consent to the McKinney Sale-Leaseback, including
(1) the execution, delivery, and recording (as applicable) of certain related agreements and security documents, including the First
Amendment to the MEDC Deed of Trust, which restructures the collateral securing the MEDC Note to provide MEDC with a first-priority lien
on Sunset Ground’s leasehold interest in the Ground Estate and ownership interest in the Improvements Estate, a Collateral Assignment
of Rents securing MEDC’s rights to certain rents, and a Recognition Agreement (as defined below); (2) the Company’s agreement
to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the City Parties in negotiating and approving the A&R Agreement and the McKinney Sale-Leaseback;
and (3) the Company’s delivery of evidence demonstrating that all revenues derived from The Sunset McKinney’s operations
will be transferred to Sunset Operations; and (iii) expands the events constituting an Owner Default to include certain defaults by the
Company and certain of its affiliates and subsidiaries under agreements related to the McKinney Sale-Leaseback and the Company’s
obligations to maintain control over the Complex Site, the Project Improvements, the McKinney Parcel, or Sunset Ground, subject to notice
and cure periods. In the event of an Owner Default, the A&R Agreement provides the MEDC Note Guarantors with a one-time right (subject
to certain notice and election requirements) to invoke a Guarantor Cure Period, during which the MEDC Note Guarantors have 60 days to
cure the default.
The
foregoing descriptions of the A&R Agreement and the Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the full text of the A&R Agreement and the Security Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively,
to this Current Report.
Purchase
and Sale Agreement
To
effectuate the Land Sale component of the McKinney Sale-Leaseback, Sunset Ground and STORE entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement,
dated October 19, 2026 (the “McKinney PSA”), pursuant to which Sunset Ground sold to STORE the Land, Horizontal Improvements
and other Property interests described in the McKinney PSA for a purchase price of $60,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”),
while retaining ownership of the Vertical Improvements on the McKinney Parcel during the term of the Ground Lease. In connection with
the closing of the Land Sale, Sunset Ground caused the release, discharge, or removal of certain existing liens, leases, mortgages, and
other encumbrances on the McKinney Parcel, except that, as permitted under the McKinney PSA, the MEDC Deed of Trust was amended pursuant
to the First Amendment thereto to limit MEDC’s collateral to Sunset Ground’s leasehold interest in the Ground Estate and
ownership interest in the Improvements Estate.
Ground
Lease Agreement
Concurrently
with entering the McKinney PSA, Sunset Ground and STORE also entered into a Ground Lease Agreement, dated October 19, 2026 (the “Ground
Lease”), pursuant to which STORE, in its capacity as the lessor, leases the McKinney Parcel to Sunset Ground, in its capacity
as the lessee, for a 99-year lease term (the “Term”), thereby effecting the leaseback component of the McKinney Sale-Leaseback
transaction. The initial Annual Base Rental amount under the Ground Lease is $5,700,000, payable by Sunset Ground to STORE in monthly
installments and subject to periodic increases throughout the Term on the dates specified in the Ground Lease. Concurrently with the
delivery of the Ground Lease, Sunset Ground was required to deposit with STORE an amount equal to six months of Base Monthly Rental under
the Ground Lease, plus six months of Taxes and property insurance costs payable by Sunset Ground (the “Deposit”).
The
Ground Lease includes an option for Sunset Ground to repurchase the McKinney Parcel, and sets forth the terms and conditions by which
the purchase option may be exercised.
Under
the Ground Lease, Sunset Ground is responsible for the development, design, construction, maintenance, and repair of The Sunset McKinney
and attendant facilities (collectively, the “Initial Improvements”). Sunset Ground is required to complete the construction
of the Initial Improvements and obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy authorizing the use of the Initial Improvements for their
intended purpose by December 4, 2027.
The
Ground Lease also contains customary terms concerning use, maintenance, taxes, insurance, casualty, condemnation, environmental matters,
inspection rights, assignment and subletting, Events of Default, remedies, indemnification, and other covenants of the parties.
Guaranty
Agreements
The
Company and its Chairman provided separate Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance agreements, each dated October 19, 2026
(the “Company’s Lease Guaranty” and the “Chairman’s Lease Guaranty,” respectively),
for the benefit of STORE, guaranteeing specified obligations of Sunset Ground under the Ground Lease; provided that the Chairman’s
Lease Guaranty may terminate after the fifth anniversary of the Execution Date if the specified financial conditions and other requirements
are satisfied. The Company’s Lease Guaranty does not contain the same termination
right. As consideration for personally guaranteeing Sunset Ground’s obligations under the Ground Lease, on the Execution Date,
the Company issued to an entity owned and controlled by the Chairman a five-year warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable
to acquire 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
at an exercise price of $1.20 per share, the closing price of the Common Stock on the issuance date. The Company also agreed to pay the
Chairman a guarantee fee, fully indemnify him for any obligations under the Chairman’s Lease Guaranty and provide security for
the Chairman’s Lease Guaranty.
In
connection with the A&R Agreement and the MEDC Note, the MEDC Note Guarantors reaffirmed their existing personal guaranties by each
delivering an Amended and Restated Personal Guaranty to MEDC. The personal guaranties of the MEDC Note Guarantors remain in full force
and effect and were not released, discharged, or impaired by the McKinney Sale-Leaseback or any transaction documents related thereto.
Amended
and Restated Ground Lease and Operations Sublease Agreements
In
connection with the McKinney Sale-Leaseback, on the Execution Date, Sunset Ground and Sunset at McKinney, LLC, a majority-owned subsidiary
of the Company over which the Company exercises total voting control, entered into an Amended and Restated Ground Lease Agreement, pursuant
to which Sunset Ground, as landlord, leases the Improvements Estate to Sunset at McKinney, LLC, as tenant. In addition, Sunset at McKinney,
LLC and Sunset Operations entered into an Amended and Restated Operations Sublease Agreement, pursuant to which Sunset at McKinney, LLC,
as landlord, subleases the Improvements Estate to Sunset Operations, as tenant (such agreements, collectively, the “A&R
Lease Agreements”). The A&R Lease Agreements modify the existing leasing arrangements among the parties to reflect the
revised ownership and leasing structure resulting from the McKinney Sale-Leaseback; however, the A&R Lease Agreements do not modify
the total rent obligations of the lessees.
Recognition
Agreement
In
connection with the Land Sale and the Ground Lease, the Company, Sunset Ground, Venu Presents, LLC, STORE, and the City Parties entered
into a Consent, Recognition, Subordination, Nondisturbance, and Development Agreement Protection Agreement, dated October 19, 2026 (the
“Recognition Agreement”). The purpose of the Recognition Agreement is to document the City Parties’ consent
to the Land Sale and the Ground Lease, recognize, protect, and preserve the rights and interests of the various parties, recognize STORE
as the fee owner and ground lessor of the McKinney Parcel, confirm the status of the A&R Agreement, identify the obligations and
liabilities that do and do not bind STORE and the McKinney Parcel. The Recognition Agreement provides that the Company and its applicable
subsidiaries will be responsible for their obligations under the A&R Agreement, including obligations related to the development,
construction, and operation of The Sunset McKinney.
As
conditions to the City Parties’ consent, the Recognition Agreement requires: (i) the establishment of a construction escrow account
funded with proceeds from the Land Sale and other designated funds to be used for The Sunset McKinney’s construction in accordance
with an escrow agreement; (ii) the granting to MEDC of a first-priority lien on Sunset Ground’s leasehold interest in the Ground
Estate and ownership interest in the Improvements Estate, together with a collateral assignment of certain leases, rents, and revenues;
and (iii) the delivery of
the Deposit to STORE.
The
foregoing descriptions of the McKinney PSA, the Ground Lease, the Company’s Lease Guaranty, the Chairman’s Lease Guaranty,
the Amended and Restated Ground Lease Agreement, and the Amended and Restated Operations Sublease Agreement do not purport to
be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the McKinney PSA, the Ground Lease, the Company’s
Lease Guaranty, the Chairman’s Lease Guaranty, the Amended and Restated Ground Lease Agreement, and the Amended and Restated
Operations Sublease Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, respectively, to this Current
Report.
Item
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The
Warrant described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report was offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The recipient represented to the Company, among other things, that it is an accredited
investor and acquired the Warrant and the shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrant for investment purposes and for its own account.
Item
8.01 Other Events
Payoff
of Ryan, LLC Promissory Note
As
previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on July 23, 2026, the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries named as guarantors entered into a Secured Promissory Note and Guaranty Agreement with Ryan, LLC (“Ryan”;
such note, the “Ryan Note”) in connection with the financing of a short-term bridge loan in a principal amount equal
to the sum of $20,000,000 plus up to $500,000 in capitalized fees and expenses incurred by Ryan in negotiating the Ryan Note, together
with interest thereon. Upon the closing of the McKinney Sale-Leaseback, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Land Sale to
pay off the outstanding obligations due under the Ryan Note in their entirety.
Centennial
Sale-Leaseback
On
October 16, 2026, the Company, through Hall at Centennial, LLC (“Hall”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company
over which the Company exercises total voting control, closed on a sale-leaseback transaction related to certain land owned by Hall underlying
the Company’s Bourbon Brothers Presents music hall and Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse & Tavern restaurant in Centennial, Colorado
(the “Centennial Parcel”). Pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Centennial PSA”),
Hall sold the Centennial Parcel to a third-party buyer, The Haven, LLC (“Haven”), for a purchase price of $7,500,000,
subject to proration and adjustment as set forth in the Centennial PSA. In satisfaction of a closing condition under the Centennial PSA,
Hall and Haven entered into a Ground Lease Agreement on October 16, 2026 (the “Centennial Lease”), pursuant to which
Haven, as landlord, agreed to lease the Centennial Parcel back to Hall for an initial 25-year term, with three successive options exercisable
by Hall to extend the term for additional 10-year periods. The Centennial Lease is a triple-net lease structure. The base rent under
the Centennial Lease is $600,000 per year, payable in monthly installments, subject to annual escalations of 2% beginning on the first
day of the second lease year. The Centennial Lease also includes an option for Hall to repurchase the Centennial Parcel within seven
years following the closing date of the sale for a purchase price of $8,500,000. As required by the Centennial PSA, concurrently with
the execution and delivery of the Centennial Lease, the Company delivered a corporate guaranty of Hall’s obligations under the
Centennial Lease.

THIS
AMENDED AND RESTATED CHAPTER 380, GRANT, AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered
into effective as of October 19, 2026 (the “Execution Date”), by and among CITY OF MCKINNEY, TEXAS,

A, non-profit development corporation created and existing under the laws of the State of Texas (the “State”), including
the Texas Development Corporation Act (“MEDC”), MCKINNEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a Type B,
non-profit development corporation created and existing under the laws of the State, including the Texas Development Corporation Act
(“MCDC”) and VENU HOLDING CORPORATION, successor-by-name-change to Notes Live, Inc., a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Colorado (“Owner”). The City, MEDC and MCDC are sometimes collectively referred
to as the “City Parties.” City Parties and Owner are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”
and individually as a “Party.”
The
City Parties and Owner acknowledge and agree that this Agreement amends and restates the Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement,
dated as of April 16, 2024, by and among the City, MEDC, MCDC, and Owner, recorded as Document Number 2025000004780 in the Real Property
Records, Collin County, Texas (the “Original Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment, Second Amendment,
Third Amendment, and Fourth Amendment (collectively, the “Prior Agreement”), in its entirety, and from and
after the Execution Date of this Agreement, this Agreement shall supersede and replace the Prior Agreement in its entirety. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the supersession and replacement of the Prior Agreement shall not affect or impair any rights, obligations, liabilities,
defaults, claims, or causes of action that accrued under the Prior Agreement prior to the Execution Date, all of which shall survive
and continue to be governed by the applicable terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the recording of this Agreement, the lien priority
and superiority of this Agreement, and all rights and interests created or evidenced hereby, shall in no way be diminished, impaired,
or otherwise adversely affected by such recording. This Agreement shall be entitled to the same lien priority, seniority, and superiority
as the Original Agreement (Document Number 2025000004780, Real Property Records, Collin County, Texas) from and after the date of the
recording of the Original Agreement, as if this Agreement had been recorded on such date. The recording of this Agreement shall not be
construed to subordinate, or otherwise affect the priority or seniority of any lien, encumbrance, or interest created or evidenced by
the Original Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment, and Fourth Amendment, or this Agreement,
to any lien, encumbrance or interest recorded after the date of the recording of the Original Agreement (Document Number 2025000004780,
Real Property Records, Collin County, Texas).
RECITALS
A.
The City Parties and Owner previously entered into the Original Agreement concerning the development, construction, operation and maintenance

well as other entertainment and civic events.
B.

dated as of October 15, 2024 (the “First Amendment”), filed January 16, 2025, recorded as Document Number 2025000004781
in the Real Property Records, Collin County, Texas, a Second Amendment to Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement, dated as of
December 3, 2024, filed January 16, 2025, recorded as Document Number 2025000004782 in the Real Property Records, Collin County, Texas
(the “Second Amendment”), a Third Amendment to Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement, dated as of October
6, 2025, filed October 22, 2025, recorded as Document Number 2025000136431 in the Real Property Records, Collin County, Texas (the “Third
Amendment”), and a Fourth Amendment to Chapter 380, Grant, and Development Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2026, filed
February 17, 2026, recorded as Document Number 2026000020022 in the Real Property Records, Collin County, Texas (the “Fourth

while retaining ownership of the Improvements Estate (as defined herein), and (b) enter into the Lease (as defined herein) to lease the
Ground Estate from STORE Capital to obtain additional funding for the Complex. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms of the
Lease and this Agreement, the Improvements Estate shall remain owned by Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC and shall not be conveyed to STORE
Capital at the Land Sale.
E.
The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety in order to: (i) consolidate
into a single operative instrument the Original Agreement and the modifications thereto effected by the First Amendment, Second Amendment,
Third Amendment, and Fourth Amendment; (ii) reflect the City Parties’ consent to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction and the terms and
conditions governing such transaction as set forth in Article XXI of this Agreement; (iii) reflect certain other modifications
to the terms of the Prior Agreement agreed upon by the Parties in connection with the foregoing; and (iv) provide that this Agreement

set forth in the Prior Agreement, MEDC sold, and Owner purchased, all of MEDC’s right, title, and interest in and to the Land,
subject to the Permitted Exceptions, under a special warranty deed containing a restrictive covenant prohibiting the Land from being
used for multi-family residential purposes, and the rights and reservations of the MEDC under the Prior Agreement and this Agreement.
The
Parties further acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to and in satisfaction of Section 3.1 of the Original Agreement, Owner was only
granted air rights over or subsurface rights under the Land to the extent that any such rights were owned by MEDC as of April 16, 2024.
The Parties hereby agree that neither the City Parties nor Owner shall develop, permit any development of, or interfere in any way with
any of the air rights, air space above the Land, or any of the subsurface rights and space below the Land that are inconsistent with
such ownership rights without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
3
3.2
Title. The Parties acknowledge that Owner, at its cost and expense as a portion of Total Project Costs, conducted such title
review of the Complex Site as Owner determined was reasonably necessary and Owner provided to the MEDC a copy of any title commitments
or reports received by Owner in connection therewith. Owner agrees and acknowledges that MEDC shall have no further obligation to correct,
modify or release any aspects of the Land’s title.
3.3
Delivery of Possession; Payment of Purchase Price; Reservations.
3.3.1
Delivery of Possession. The Parties acknowledge that Owner acquired the Land from MEDC on January 14, 2025, which was on or
before the date that was thirty (30) days following Entitlement (the “Closing Date”), for a purchase price
of Thirty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($35,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”). On the Closing Date, upon
satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth herein, and the payment of the Purchase Price, MEDC delivered to Sunset Ground at McKinney,
LLC marketable title and exclusive possession, use and occupancy of the Land free of all tenancies and parties in possession subject
only to (i) the Permitted Exceptions, as specifically described on Exhibit C, (ii) a covenant prohibiting the Land from being
used for multi-family residential purposes, (iii) the rights and reservations of the MEDC under this Agreement, and (iv) the Deed of
Trust conveying a first-priority lien on the Land set forth in Section 3.3.2. The Parties acknowledge that the restriction providing
that Owner shall not conduct or cause to be conducted any land disturbance activities on the Land until after closing was satisfied.
The Parties acknowledge that the Declaration and Establishment of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Grant of Easements by MEDC,
recorded in Clerk’s File Nos. 20080207000147650, 20120820001026570 and 20130125000114540, Real Property Records, Collin County,
Texas was included as a Permitted Exception because of MEDC’s delivery to Owner of an Estoppel Certificate Regarding Declaration
in form and substance that was approved by Owner.
3.3.2
Payment of Purchase Price; Default. The Parties acknowledge that, at closing on the sale of the Land to Owner, Owner, at its
option, paid the Purchase Price through (i) the payment of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), plus Owner’s closing
costs, in cash, and (ii) the remaining Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) represented by a secured promissory note
to MEDC, attached hereto as Exhibit B (as modified by the Modification of Promissory Note and as the same may be amended or modified
from time to time, the “Promissory Note”), bearing no interest and subject to prepayment at any time with no
penalty, and secured by the Deed of Trust attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (as modified by the First Amendment to Deed of Trust
and as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Deed of Trust”), conveying a first-priority
lien on the Land and guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the personal guaranty of J.W. Roth and Kevin O’Neil, attached hereto
as Exhibit B-2 (as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Personal Guaranty and as the same may be amended, extended,
and modified from time to time, the “Personal Guaranty”). At its cost, Owner provided the MEDC with a Mortgagee’s
Title Policy in the amount of the Promissory Note, insuring the MEDC’s lien/loan. The Promissory Note shall be due and payable
in full to MEDC the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days following Owner’s receipt of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (“TCO”)
or (y) the expiration of the Guarantor Cure Period (or, if the Guarantor Cure Period has been exhausted or was never invoked, thirty
(30) days following the occurrence of an Owner Default). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Parties agreed that until the $10,000,000.00
paid as a portion of the Purchase Price set forth in (i), above, has been reimbursed to Owner or retained by MEDC following an Owner
default pursuant to the Agreement, MEDC would invest the $10,000,000.00 in a public fund investment pool, or other investment instrument
in accordance with MEDC’s investment policies, which would accrue interest at the Texpool rate of interest received by MEDC pursuant
to such investment, and pay the interest received on such investment to Owner in accordance with the terms of the First Amendment. The
Parties hereby agree that (a) MEDC shall continue to invest such $10,000,000.00 until the earliest of (i) closing of the Land Sale, (ii)
December 15, 2027, (iii) the date the $10,000,000.00 has been reimbursed to Owner pursuant to the Agreement, and (iv) the date the $10,000,000.00
has been retained by MEDC following an Owner Default pursuant to the Agreement (such earliest date, the “Investment Termination
Date”), and (b) all interest earned on the principal amount of such deposit (the “Accrued Interest”)
shall continue to be paid by MEDC to Owner, by ACH or wire transfer, monthly, in arrears, on or before the tenth (10th) day
of each month, until the Investment Termination Date, at which point the MEDC’s obligations under this Section shall terminate
as set forth in Section 21.1(b). Owner shall repay to MEDC the entirety of all Accrued Interest paid to Owner from the date the
$10,000,000.00 was initially invested by MEDC pursuant to the First Amendment through the Investment Termination Date, through a temporary
adjustment to the Ticket Fee (as described in Section 12.3.2) revenue split pursuant to Section 9.8.2(b). Specifically,
until such time as MEDC has received reimbursement for all Accrued Interest paid to Owner, the City, pursuant to Section 9.8.2(b),
shall remit to MEDC $0.60 of each $1.00 Ticket Fee, retaining for the City $0.10 of each $1.00 Ticket Fee, and remitting to Owner the
remaining $0.30 of each $1.00 Ticket Fee until such time as all Accrued Interest is repaid to MEDC. From and after the date on which
MEDC has received from such adjusted Ticket Fee distributions an amount equal to the aggregate Accrued Interest paid to Owner, the Ticket
Fee revenues shall be split $0.90 per $1.00 Ticket Fee to Owner and $0.10 per $1.00 Ticket Fee to the City as set forth in Section
9.8.2(b). Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Execution Date of this Agreement, MEDC is in full compliance with
its obligations under Section 3.3.2 of this Agreement regarding the (a) investment of the $10,000,000.00 paid by Owner as a portion
of the Purchase Price, and (b) payment of Accrued Interest to Owner, as set forth above. As of the Execution Date of this Agreement,
MEDC has paid Owner $680,504.15 in Accrued Interest.

Except as expressly set forth herein, Owner shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Complex and its events, including,
without limitations, operating, utilities, insurance, facilities, furniture, fixtures, and equipment repair, maintenance and replacement
costs; provided, however, Owner shall have no obligation to fund utility infrastructure installation or expansion not directly attributable
to the Complex unless Owner receives reimbursement, in its entirety, from the City for such infrastructure. Owner shall operate and maintain
(or cause others to operate and maintain) the Complex in a safe, clean, attractive, and First Class manner and consistent in all material
respects with all applicable rules and regulations of all Governmental Authorities and the Operating Standard. Owner may charge a fee
for admission to the Complex Site.
3.3.4
Concessions and Vendors.
(a)
Owner and Operator shall have the exclusive right to select and to establish the contractual terms for all Complex concessionaires and
vendors at the Complex Site. Owner shall also have the exclusive right to market, sell, and retain all concessions, hospitality, merchandise

(b)
Owner shall be solely and exclusively responsible for identifying and entering into vendor contracts for the Complex Site.
(c)
Owner shall require that any and all concessionaries and vendors provide certificates of insurance evidencing commercial general liability
insurance within the Insurance Standards.
(d)

ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OR ALLEGED TO ARISE OUT OF OR ANY WAY INCIDENTAL TO ANY AND ALL AGREEMENTS ENTERED
INTO BY OWNER PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.3.4. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY INCLUDES OWNER’S AGREEMENT TO PAY ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES OF DEFENSE,
INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, INCURRED BY ANY CITY PARTY AND ANY CITY PARTY INDEMNITEE. THIS INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY WITHOUT LIMITATION
TO ANY LIABILITIES IMPOSED ON ANY PARTY INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER AS A RESULT OF ANY STATUTE, RULE, REGULATION OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY.
THIS INDEMNIFICATION SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO DAMAGES, COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS PAYABLE UNDER INSURANCE POLICIES, WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

5
3.4.2
Utilities. The right of the City, at City’s sole cost and expense, to install on, under, over or below the Complex Site
any and all utilities and appurtenances related to the City’s master utility plans that it reasonably deems necessary; provided,
however, that Owner shall be given at least thirty (30) days to review and approve the location, nature, and scope of any such utilities,
which Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided further that the utilities or appurtenances to be installed by the City
pursuant to this Section 3.4.2, if any, shall: (a) be located in the building improvement or parking setback areas affecting the
Land as specified in the City Utility Plan and shall not interfere in any material respect with Owner’s use of such setback area;
(b) all pipes, lines, and other improvements shall be buried to a depth of at least three feet (3’); and (c) Owner shall have the
right to cross such utilities and appurtenances and to construct roads, sidewalks and driveways over such utilities and appurtenances.
All construction of such utility lines and appurtenances shall be promptly completed and shall not unreasonably interfere with Owner’s
construction activities, conduct of business or obligations under Applicable Law. In addition, the City shall promptly repair or replace
all landscaping, trees, irrigation lines, surface materials, paving, asphalt, concrete, fences, sidewalks and other facilities located
on the Complex Site to the condition that existed immediately prior to such utility construction or maintenance by the City at no cost
or expense to Owner, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing.
3.5
Development. Owner’s development activities on the Land shall relate exclusively to the development of the Project Improvements

Article
IV.
PARKING
AND SITE COORDINATION
4.1
Parking, Transit, and Event Plan.
(a)
The Parties shall work together to, and before Substantial Completion shall, develop a reasonable transportation, parking and event plan
(including a traffic impact analysis at Owner’s cost), which shall be subject to reasonable Approval by the City consistent with
existing and applicable regulations, and for which the City agrees to reasonably assist in the coordination of all relevant City, County
and State agencies and relevant stakeholder groups. The transportation, parking and event plan shall address the following: on-site parking
opportunities; enforcement for the affected surrounding areas on event days and during significant events; clearly defined roles and
responsibilities for implementation; and determining standards and enforcement for minimizing adverse impact to surrounding communities
related to event hours, noise levels, and other quality of life issues. With respect to the standards for hours, noise, and other quality
of life issues, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the transportation, parking and event plan shall require that (i)
any event at the Complex Site shall end at or before 11:15 p.m., and (ii) noise monitoring shall be conducted during performances at
the front-of-house mix position and at certain agreed property line locations. The noise limits at front-of-house mix position shall
not exceed an L10 of 104 dBA in any thirty (30) minute period or an L90 of 98 dBA in any thirty (30) minute period. That certain Environmental
Noise Assessment (noise study) dated April 12, 2024 prepared by Owner’s consultant, LSTN, is incorporated, in its entirety, into
this Agreement and attached hereto as Exhibit H. The Aggregate Effect tables (pp. 12-13), Operational Mitigation (pp. 13-14),
and specifically the Noise Monitoring and Performance Controls (p. 14) shall be performance strategies (the “Sound Strategies”)
employed and maintained by the Owner for all events. Owner shall require any Operator to contractually bind such Operator and any Artist
performing at the Complex to operate within such parameters. In addition to the foregoing Sound Strategies, Owner shall design and construct
the Complex in a manner consistent with the Sound Strategies described in this Section 4.1(a).
6
(b)
Owner, at its sole cost, shall be responsible for all costs related to Owner’s events, including, but not limited to, police, traffic
control, fire prevention, emergency medical, street cleaning and street trash removal and other municipal resources within the Complex

Signage.
(a)
Prior to Substantial Completion, the City and Owner shall develop and agree upon a reasonable off-site directional signage plan guiding
pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and other attendees to the Complex and parking facilities serving the Complex. City and Owner shall approach
other Governmental Authorities (e.g., the Texas Department of Transportation) as appropriate in order to request that they provide
directional signage to the extent within their control. All directional signage costs, including, without limitation, the perpetual maintenance
of signage, signage modifications and changes, and signage removal, whether such signs are located in a right-of-way or otherwise, shall
be paid by Owner. The Parties agree to reasonably consider the allocation of responsibilities in a manner consistent with those of other
similar amphitheaters and/or outdoor entertainment venues in Texas in such signage plan; provided however, such signage plan must be
in compliance with City Codes and Applicable Law and shall be subject to final Approval by the City and, if required, any other requisite
Governmental Authority (e.g. the Texas Department of Transportation).
(b)
The City Parties and Owner shall also work in good faith to develop and agree upon a reasonable comprehensive, state-of-the-art Signage
program on-site and within any public right-of-way (both digital and projection), subject to final Approval by the City and, if required,
any other requisite Governmental Authority. City acknowledges the strategic and economic importance of the signage program to the long-term
viability of the Complex, and the Parties shall implement a program that is reasonably acceptable to the Owner, subject to City Codes.
The official name of the Complex shall include “McKinney,” (including, without limitation, a name such as “_____________
at McKinney” or a name similar thereto) and such official name shall be mutually agreed by the Parties. Such plan shall include,
but not be limited to:
(i)
outdoor signage (digital, projection and/or otherwise) advertising Complex events and attractions which could include digital or other
creative forms of signage;
7
(ii)
the right of Owner to control and sell all advertising, sponsorship and promotional inventory related to the signage and to retain all
revenues related thereto, including third-party advertisements and outdoor media programming on the Owner digital signage; and
(iii)
(A) there shall be one Electronic Message Display, Level 3 sign permitted with a maximum of 200 square feet within the Complex. The City
Parties shall receive or have access, at Owner’s cost, to one prominent sign within the amphitheater, and (B) the City Parties
shall receive, at Owner’s cost, five (5), eight-second click per 5-minute advertising increment on the Electronic Message Display,
Level 3 sign for the Term of this Agreement.
(c)
To the extent permitted by Texas law and subject to any and all limitations on the City’s rights and powers to do so, the City
agrees to reasonably cooperate with Owner to secure for Owner any and all permits, licenses and approvals necessary to allow certain
Complex logos, decals, markings, and emblems on the surrounding (specific locations as mutually agreed by the Parties, not to be unreasonably
withheld) City-owned public infrastructure (e.g., on sidewalks, lighting and signage structures, manhole covers, fire hydrants,
etc.) in and around the Complex Site, it being understood that such materials may include branding from sponsors (e.g.,
naming rights partner). Unless approved by the City in advance and subject to the conditions in Section 25.9, naming rights, sponsors,
logos, decals, markings and emblems proposed for use in the Complex shall not include the following: (i) tobacco and any products used
to consume tobacco, including but not limited to vaping; (ii) sexual or adult oriented products or services; (iii) drugs (whether legal
or illegal) and any products used to consume drugs; (iv) firearms/weapons; or (v) political candidates or ballot initiatives. The rights
provided for in this paragraph (c) are in addition to, and do not limit, any rights Owner may obtain pursuant to other applicable City
and other Governmental Authority programs.

General Provisions.
9.1.1
Project Improvements. Owner shall design, develop and construct, or have designed, developed and constructed, the Project
Improvements within the Complex Site in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Applicable Law, and shall
adhere to the Project Construction Schedule (subject to any Excusable Owner Delay and/or City Party Delay permitted in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement), in each case, at Owner’s sole cost, risk and expense. No additional contribution, back charge, payment,
or charge shall be charged against, withheld from, or assessed against MEDC or the other City Parties for any Cost Overruns (as hereinafter
defined). Owner shall be responsible for the payment of any Cost Overruns. The term “Cost Overruns” as used
in the Agreement shall mean the amount by which the total costs and expenses required to be paid for the design, development, construction
and furnishing of the Project Improvements included in the Complex Budget exceeds the Complex Budget; provided, that, Cost Overruns
shall not include such excess costs and expenses to the extent such excess arises out of or is attributable to any acts, failure to act
(or failure to act timely) or omissions of the City Parties or any of their respective agents, contractors or licensees.
9.1.2
Project Scope Summary. Owner covenants and agrees that the construction of the Project Improvements at and within the Complex
Site shall include the following general program elements and design specifications (the “Project Specifications”):
(a)
A new, First Class, state-of-the art amphitheater/outdoor entertainment venue facility that shall provide concerts, live shows, and other
entertainment and civic events, containing, at a minimum, 20,000 manifested or unmanifested ticketed seats and a minimum of 250 suites
with a maximum of 2,000 unmanifested ticketed seats located within designated suite areas, to include, among such suites, one 400-person
capacity, or greater, Owner’s suite (collectively, the “Complex”);
(b)
A minimum of 5,000 dedicated surface parking spaces, including a structured parking pedestal;
(c)
Public infrastructure improvements peripheral to the Complex that are identified in Exhibit G;
(d)
A number of marquees, video boards and electronic signage, equipped with the latest technology;
(e)
Storage space; and
(f)
First-class lighting to support the Complex.
14
The
Parties hereby agree that, in accordance with Section 9.1.2 of the Prior Agreement, prior to finalization of the Project Plans, the City
and Owner agreed upon the Complex-related off-site infrastructure that is the responsibility of the Owner and included in the Complex
Budget. Traffic signals, turn lanes and other improvements required by the Complex on-site shall be the responsibility of Owner and part
of the Complex Budget. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any off-site infrastructure or other improvements
that are not the express responsibility of Owner under this Agreement (the “City Off-Site Work”) shall not
be a condition precedent to the issuance of a TCO or CO for the Complex, and to the extent the issuance of a TCO or CO is conditioned
upon, or delayed by, the commencement or completion of any City Off-Site Work, (i) the deadlines set forth in Sections 23.1.1(c)
and 23.1.1(d), and any other deadline for Owner’s receipt of a TCO or CO under this Agreement, shall be extended on a day-for-day
basis for the period of such delay, and (ii) no such delay shall constitute or give rise to an Owner Default or result in any liquidated
damages or any reduction, suspension, or forfeiture of any City Party contribution or incentive under Section 9.8, including the reimbursement
of the Purchase Price under Section 9.8.4(c).
9.1.3
Eminent Domain for Public Infrastructure. Owner shall use all reasonable efforts to acquire, by negotiated purchase, right-of-way
or easements located offsite of the Complex and required under the traffic study and Article IX with respect to the installation of qualified
public infrastructure for the Complex. If acquired by Owner, such right-of-way or easements shall be purchased in the name of, or subsequently
transferred to, the City for the public purposes contemplated herein. The Parties acknowledge that Owner i) was unable to acquire the
needed right-of-way or easements for all parcels by negotiated purchase on or before January 30, 2026 and ii) delivered to the City the
documents listed in Section 9.1.3.1 for any affected parcel on or before January 30, 2026, and the City will continue to cooperate
with the Owner, at the sole cost and expense of Owner, including City’s costs for attorneys’ fees, consultants, franchise
utility relocation, and appraisers, to acquire the needed right-of-way or easements including, but not limited to, the exercise by the
City of its power of eminent domain. The determination of a public purpose and any decision to exercise such power is, however, within
the sole discretion of the City. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, recognizing that Owner delivered all of
the documents required under Section 9.1.3.1 to the City by January 30, 2026, if lawful possession in eminent domain of less than
all of the needed right-of-way and easements for parcels requested by Owner through eminent domain (the “ED Parcels”)
is obtained by the City by December 31, 2026, completion of the public infrastructure for the ED Parcels by Owner shall not be a condition
precedent to issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that other obligations of
Owner under this Agreement may be conditions precedent to the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. All expenses, including
soft costs, incurred by Owner in connection with the acquisition of said rights-of-way or easements required under the traffic study
or otherwise required by the City shall be deemed qualified public infrastructure expenses subject to reimbursement by the City in accordance
with the terms of Section 9.8.5 hereof.
15
9.1.3.1
Delivery of ED Parcel Documents. The Parties acknowledge that Owner delivered all of following documents to the City by January

shall include, at Owner’s expense, an enclosed stage, an eight-foot (8’) high, opaque barrier along the southern perimeter
of the Complex Site, sidewalks along the perimeter of the Complex that are not less than eight feet (8’) wide (as such are depicted
on the submitted Site Plan), a sound-attenuating wall attached to that face of the parking garage lying adjacent to the easternmost,
internal fire lane from the amphitheater, a redesigned Owner’s Suite (under Section 12.8.2), and a designated Suite (under
Section 12.8.1), all as more particularly shown and in substantial conformity with the graphics set forth on Exhibits I -M attached
hereto and made a part hereof by reference. The Parties further agree that the required amount of vehicle parking spaces within the Complex
may be constructed with a minimum width of eight feet, nine inches (8’9”) each. In addition, for all street frontages, the
landscape buffer shall be a minimum of eight feet, five inches (8’5”), except US75 which shall be a minimum of thirty feet
(30’), and a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the required street trees shall be provided within the landscape buffer, with remaining
street trees being provided throughout the Complex. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the agreed Complex design elements described
in this Section 9.1.4 shall constitute approval of the Site Plan for the Complex.
9.2
Review Rights. The City Parties shall have the right to participate in periodic design meetings and the right to review and
comment on material design aspects of the proposed plans and specifications for the Complex. The City Parties shall also have the right,
at their expense, to review construction, including, without limitation, contracting with a construction observer to meet with Owner
and its contractor for updates and to review such construction for compliance with approved plans and specifications and all other applicable
requirements. Without limiting any other obligations of City Parties hereunder, City Parties or any third-party construction monitor
shall be subject to the requirements of Section 16.1.1 pursuant to this Section 9.2.
9.3
Remedial Work.
9.3.1
Owner’s Remedial Work. Owner shall be responsible for performing or causing to be performed, and for paying the cost
of performing, any and all corrective or remedial actions (including all investigations, monitoring, etc.) required by Applicable Law
to be performed with respect to any Environmental Event or any Hazardous Materials present at, in, on, or under the Complex Site (“Owner’s
Remedial Work”). Prior to undertaking any Owner’s Remedial Work, Owner shall notify the City Representative of the
steps Owner proposes to take with respect to any Owner’s Remedial Work and Owner shall select an independent environmental consultant
or engineer to oversee Owner’s Remedial Work. To the extent any City Party has a claim against any third Person with respect to
any Environmental Event that is included in Owner’s Remedial Work, such City Party hereby assigns to Owner, as of the date Owner
is required to perform the related Owner’s Remedial Work, such claim insofar as it relates to the cost of Owner’s Remedial
Work or any damages suffered by Owner in connection with such Environmental Event, and such City Party shall reasonably cooperate with
Owner and provide Owner with such information as Owner shall reasonably request in pursuing such claim against any such Person.

the work performed in the case of any Material Additional Work in question) and (ii) copies of all Governmental Authorizations required
for the use, occupancy and operation of all aspects and areas of the Complex Site in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including

Mechanics’ Liens and Claims. If any Lien shall be filed against an MEDC interest in the Complex Site, the MEDC, or any
Property of the MEDC by reason of any work, labor, services or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied on or to the Complex
Site (collectively, any “Mechanic’s Lien”) by or on behalf of Owner, any Affiliate of Owner or anyone
claiming by, through or under Owner or any Affiliate of Owner, Owner shall, at its cost and expense, after Notice of the filing thereof
but in no event less than sixty (60) days after it is filed or claimed, cause the same to be released, satisfied or discharged of record,
or effectively prevent, to the reasonable satisfaction of City Representative, the enforcement or foreclosure thereof against any MEDC

Total Project Costs
9.7.1
The Parties anticipate a total Complex development budget of approximately $220,000,000, subject to an increase or reduction in the Owner’s
sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, Owner shall not reduce the Complex Budget below $200,000,000 without the City’s
consent. If the Complex Budget is reduced below $200,000,000, the contributions required to be made by the City Parties in accordance
with Section 9.8 may be reduced, pro rata, in the City Parties’ sole discretion. Furthermore, the Owner covenants and agrees
that if the Complex Budget is reduced below $200,000,000 but (a) the actual cost of Complex construction is less than $200,000,000, any
surplus (i.e., the difference between the Complex Budget and Total Project Costs actually incurred) from the construction of the
Project Improvements shall, at Owner’s election, be utilized for one or more of the following purposes upon Final Completion of
the Project Improvements: (i) construction of additional Owner-controlled parking, or (ii) such other purpose(s) mutually agreed to by
the Parties; (b) the actual cost of Complex construction exceeds $200,000,000, then Owner may determine how to apply such excess in its
sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, if the Total Project Costs exceed $200,000,000, Owner
shall be obligated to pay for same.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and as further set forth herein, the City Parties shall provide the incentives set forth in this
Section 9.8 for the public purpose of stimulating economic development and employment in the City.

9.8.2
Subject to the terms of this Section 9.8.2 and Article XXIII, the City (or a City Party or the City of McKinney Tax Reinvestment
Zone No. 1 (the “TIRZ”), if utilized by the City in its sole discretion) shall pay to the Owner the incentive
payments set forth in this Section 9.8.2; provided, however, to be eligible for such incentive payments, the Owner shall present
not less than forty-five (45) Commercial Events annually, with a paid attendance of not less than 450,000 manifested tickets, annually;
provided further, unearned, advanced incentive payments shall be deducted from incentive payments in the following incentive period/year.
(a)
The City, City Party, or the TIRZ shall pay Owner a fixed portion of the Complex Budget costs related to parking facilities in the aggregate
amount of $18,000,000. Such amount shall be paid in annual installments of $3,000,000 for six (6) years, with the first payment commencing
on February 1st after the first year in which 45 Commercial Events are completed in a calendar year; provided, however, the aggregate
amount of the above-described incentive shall be reduced if the total number of parking spaces that are (i) contained on the approved
plans for the Complex Site or (ii) actually constructed on the Complex Site as of the date of the first scheduled payment, is less than
5,000. Adjustments in payments shall be made to the first $3,000,000 annual payment, and subsequent payments, as necessary, in the amount
of $2,000 for each patron parking space under 5,000;
(b)
The City shall pay Owner at the end of each twelve (12) month period for an aggregate period which is two hundred forty (240) months

Operator);
(c)
City shall pay Owner, on a quarterly basis and based upon actual receipts verified by the City, an annual operations incentive equal
to seventy-five percent (75%) of the City’s sales and use taxes ($0.01 City portion only and City portion of mixed beverage
taxes) received from taxable sales at the Complex, including, but not limited to, parking, alcohol, tickets, food and merchandise, for
a period of one hundred thirty-two (132) months, beginning with the first Commercial Event at the Complex; thereafter, the City shall
pay Owner an annual operations incentive equal to forty percent (40%) of the City’s sales and use taxes ($0.01 City portion only
and City portion of mixed beverage taxes) received from taxable sales at the Complex, including, but not limited to, parking, alcohol,
tickets, food and merchandise, for a period of sixty (60) months; provided, however, that the aggregate amount paid by the City to Owner
under this Section 9.8.2(c) and Section 9.8.2(d) shall not exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) during the sixty (60)
month period described in this sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, the $3,000,000 cap set forth in the preceding sentence constitutes
a single shared cap across both Section 9.8.2(c) and Section 9.8.2(d), and once the aggregate amount paid to Owner under
either or both of such Sections during the applicable period equals $3,000,000, all payment obligations of the City to Owner under both
Section 9.8.2(c) and Section 9.8.2(d) shall immediately terminate. For purposes of this Section 9.8.2(c), payments
shall not be earned by the Owner, and are subject to repayment through subsequent year reductions, in any year wherein forty-five (45)
Commercial Events, with a paid attendance of not less than 450,000 manifested tickets, are not presented at the Complex;
20
(d)
City shall pay Owner, on an annual basis and based upon actual receipts verified by the City, an annual operations incentive equal to

tax year 2025; thereafter, the City shall pay Owner an annual operations incentive equal to forty percent (40%) of the City’s portion
of the ad valorem real property improvements and business personal property taxes, excluding taxes on the Land, paid by Owner and received
by the City on the Complex for a period of five (5) tax years; provided, however, that the aggregate amount paid by the City to Owner
under Section 9.8.2(c) and Section 9.8.2(d) shall not exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) during the five (5) tax
year period described in this sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, the $3,000,000 cap set forth in the preceding sentence constitutes
a single shared cap across both Section 9.8.2(c) and Section 9.8.2(d), and once the aggregate amount paid to Owner under
either or both of such Sections during the applicable period equals $3,000,000, all payment obligations of the City to Owner under both
Section 9.8.2(c) and Section 9.8.2(d) shall immediately terminate. For purposes of this Section 9.8.2(d), payments
shall not be earned by the Owner, and are subject to repayment through subsequent year reductions, in any year wherein forty-five (45)
Commercial Events, with a paid attendance of not less than 450,000 manifested tickets, are not presented at the Complex;
(e)
City shall provide to Owner an economic development grant (the “Separated Materials Tax Grant”) payable to
Owner in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the City’s share of the sales tax revenue generated from the use of a Separated
Materials Contract with the situs of construction materials in the City and actually received by the City from the Comptroller of Public
Accounts of the State of Texas. The Separated Materials Tax Grant shall be paid upon completion of construction of the project related
to the Complex and after all of the net sales tax from the use of Separated Materials Contracts has been received by the City. For the
avoidance of doubt, no sales tax revenue shall be paid by the MEDC or MCDC under the Separated Materials Tax Grant. The Separated Materials
Tax Grant shall be paid once all construction is completed on the project related to the Complex and after all of the net sales tax from
the use of Separated Materials Contracts has been received by the City. The Owner is required to use Ryan, LLC (the “Consultant”),
as a consultant to assist the Owner in the drafting, implementation, and management of the separated materials and labor construction
contracts. Owner shall pay Consultant direct from Owner’s funds. The Owner shall meet with the City and the Consultant prior to
the execution of any construction contracts for the Complex or the commencement of any construction. The City’s cost of administration,
being an amount equivalent to the average annual hourly rate of City personnel used multiplied by the number of hours worked, shall be
deducted from the amounts due to Owner prior to the City remittance to the Owner; and,
(f)
The Owner shall pay all roadway, water, and wastewater impact fees for the Complex up to $1,000,000. After the City’s receipt of
the foregoing impact fees from the Owner, the City shall transfer, from appropriate City fund accounts to the impact fee accounts, the
amount of assessed roadway, water, and wastewater impact fees for the Complex exceeding $1,000,000 (the “Impact Fee Incentive”)
as an incentive to the Owner. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the Execution Date, the Parties have complied with their
obligations under this Section 9.8.2(f) and that, specifically, (1) Owner has paid $1,000,000 in roadway, water, and wastewater
impact fees for the Complex, and (2) City has paid a total of $2,937,610 from appropriate City fund account to the impact fee accounts,
which represent the assessed roadway, water, and wastewater impact fees for the Complex in excess of $1,000,000.

Excusable Owner Delay. Regardless of the existence or absence of references to Excusable Owner Delay elsewhere in this Agreement,
the deadlines of Owner set forth in Section 8.1 and all other deadlines and time periods within which Owner must fulfill the obligations
of Owner elsewhere in this Agreement shall each be adjusted as appropriate to include Excusable Owner Delay Periods unless otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement; provided that Owner complies with the requirements of this Article X.
With
respect to each occurrence of Excusable Owner Delay, Owner shall, within twenty (20) days after Owner’s knowledge of the occurrence
of an event that Owner reasonably believes to be an Excusable Owner Delay, which may be a claim from the Project Contractor, give Notice
to the City Representative of the event constituting Excusable Owner Delay, Owner’s good faith estimate of the Excusable Owner
Delay Period resulting therefrom and the basis therefor, Owner’s good faith estimate of any adjustment resulting therefrom that
is to be made to the Project Construction Schedule or other time for performance, as the case may be, together with reasonable documentation
supporting the adjustments proposed. If the City Representative believes that the documentation supplied is not sufficient to justify
the delay claimed or adjustments proposed, the City Representative shall give Notice to Owner of the claimed deficiency and Owner shall
have a reasonable period of time to more fully document the delay and adjustments claimed. Only one (1) Notice from Owner shall be required
with respect to a continuing Excusable Owner Delay, except that Owner shall promptly (and in no event less often than every month) give
Notice to the City Representative of any further changes in the Project Construction Schedule or the additional time for performance
claimed by reason of the continuing delay. The City Representative shall have the right to challenge Owner’s assertion of the occurrence
of an Excusable Owner Delay, or Owner’s good faith estimate of the Excusable Owner Delay Period, changes in the Project Construction
Schedule or the additional time for performance claimed by reason of the Excusable Owner Delay if the City Representative gives Notice
to Owner within thirty (30) days after receipt by City Representative of such claim of Excusable Owner Delay or Notice from Owner of
further changes to such dates as a result of such Excusable Owner Delay, as the case may be (which challenge shall be deemed to have

this Agreement, any deadline or time period within which a City Party must fulfill the obligations of such City Party in this Agreement
shall each be adjusted as appropriate to include Excusable City Party Delay Periods; provided that the City Party complies with
the requirements of this Article X.
With
respect to each occurrence of Excusable City Party Delay, City Representative shall, within twenty (20) days after City’s knowledge
of the occurrence of an event that the City Party reasonably believes to be an Excusable City Party Delay, give Notice to Owner of the
event constituting Excusable City Party Delay, City Representative’s good faith estimate of the Excusable City Party Delay Period
resulting therefrom and the basis therefor, City Representative’s good faith estimate of any adjustment resulting therefrom that
is to be made in the time for performance, together with reasonable documentation supporting the adjustments proposed. If Owner believes
that the documentation supplied is not sufficient to justify the delay claimed or adjustment proposed, Owner shall give Notice to City
Representative of the claimed deficiency and City Representative shall have a reasonable period of time to more fully document the delay
and adjustments claimed. Only one (1) Notice from City Representative shall be required with respect to a continuing Excusable City Party
Delay, except that City Representative shall promptly (and in no event less often than every thirty (30) days) give Notice to Owner of
any further changes in the additional time for performance claimed by reason of the continuing delay. Owner shall have the right to challenge
City Representative’s assertion of the occurrence of an Excusable City Party Delay, or City Representative’s good faith estimate
of the Excusable City Party Delay Period, or changes in the additional time for performance claimed by reason of Excusable City Party
Delay if Owner gives Notice to City Representative within thirty (30) days after receipt by Owner of such claim of Excusable City Party
Delay or Notice from City Representative of further changes to such dates as a result of such Excusable City Party Delay, as the case
may be (which challenge shall be deemed to have been made if Owner gives Notice to City Representative of any claimed deficiency in documentation
as provided for above in this Section 10.2).
10.3
Continued Performance; Exceptions. Upon the occurrence of any Owner Delay or City Party Delay, the Parties shall endeavor
to continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement so far as reasonably practical. Toward that end, Owner and City Parties
each hereby agrees that it shall make all reasonable efforts to prevent and reduce to a minimum and mitigate the effect of any Owner
Delay or City Party Delay occasioned by an Excusable Owner Delay or Excusable City Party Delay, as applicable, and shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure resumption of performance of its obligations under this Agreement after the occurrence of any Excusable
Owner Delay or Excusable City Party Delay, as applicable. The Parties shall use and continue to use all commercially reasonable efforts
to prevent, avoid, overcome and minimize any City Party Delay or Owner Delay.

Representative of any matter submitted to City Parties or City Representative pursuant to this Agreement, which matter is specifically
provided herein to be Approved by City Parties or City Representative shall not constitute a replacement or substitute for, or otherwise

Parties or City Representative.

Review and Approval Rights. The provisions of this Section 11.4 shall be applicable with respect to all instances in
which it is provided under this Agreement that City Parties, City Representative, Owner or the Owner Representative exercises Review
and Approval Rights (as defined below); provided, however, that if the provisions of this Section 11.4 specifying time
periods for exercise of Review and Approval Rights shall conflict with other express provisions of this Agreement providing for time
periods for exercise of designated Review and Approval Rights, then the provisions of such other provisions of this Agreement shall control.
As used herein, the term “Review and Approval Rights” shall include, without limiting the generality of that
term, all instances in which one Party (the “Submitting Party”) is permitted or required to submit to the other
Party or to the representative of that other Party any document, Notice or determination of the Submitting Party and with respect to
which the other Party or its representative (the “Reviewing Party”) has a right or duty hereunder to review,
comment, confirm, consent, Approve, disapprove, dispute or challenge the submission or determination of the Submitting Party.
11.4.2
Standard for Review. Unless this Agreement specifically provides that a Party’s Review and Approval Rights may be exercised
in the sole discretion of the Reviewing Party, then in connection with exercising its Review and Approval Rights under any provision
of this Agreement, and whether or not specifically provided in any such provision, the Reviewing Party covenants and agrees to timely
act in good faith, with due diligence, and in a fair and commercially reasonable manner in its capacity as Reviewing Party with regard
to each and all of its Review and Approval Rights and (to the extent Approval, consent or confirmation is called for) to not unreasonably
withhold its Approval of, consent to or confirmation of any submission or determination. The Reviewing Party shall review the matter
submitted in writing and shall promptly (but in any event within fifteen (15) days after such receipt) give Notice to the Submitting
Party of the Reviewing Party’s comments resulting from such review and, if the matter is one that requires Approval or confirmation
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Approval, confirmation, disapproval or failure to confirm, setting forth in detail the
Reviewing Party’s reasons for any disapproval or failure to confirm. Any failure to respond within the foregoing fifteen
(15) day period shall be deemed to be an Approval or confirmation of the matter submitted and shall preclude subsequent disapproval or
objection to the matter so submitted. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Reviewing Party’s right to disapprove or not
confirm any matter submitted to it for Approval or confirmation and to which this Section 11.4.2 applies shall be limited to the
elements thereof: (i) which do not conform in all material respects to Approvals or confirmations previously given with respect to the
same matter; or (ii) which propose or depict matters that are or the result of which would be a violation of or inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement or Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, if a matter is submitted for review only (but not for confirmation),
then in no event shall the foregoing process be construed to provide the Reviewing Party with any rights to Approve (or disapprove),
consent (or not consent) or otherwise to prevent the other Party from undertaking the applicable action following the review period provided
for above.
11.4.3
Resubmissions. If the Reviewing Party disapproves of or fails to confirm a matter to which this Section 11.4.3 applies
within the applicable time period (it being understood that this Section 11.4.3 applies only to those matters that expressly require
the Approval, consent or confirmation of a Reviewing Party), the Submitting Party shall have the right to re-submit promptly the disapproved
or not confirmed matter to the Reviewing Party, altered to satisfy the Reviewing Party’s basis for disapproval or failure to confirm.
Similarly, if a matter is submitted for review and an objection is raised, the Submitting Party may, in its discretion, elect to re-submit
such matter. The applicable Submitting Party shall use reasonable efforts to cause any such re-submission to expressly state that it
is a resubmission, to identify the disapproved or not confirmed portion of the original submission (or the portion to which an objection
was raised, if the Submitting Party elects to re-submit a matter submitted for review as to which a timely objection was raised) and
any prior resubmissions, and to not be included with an original submission unless the matter previously disapproved is expressly identified
thereon. Any resubmission made pursuant to this Section 11.4.3 shall be subject to Review and Approval Rights of the Reviewing
Party in accordance with the procedures described in Section 11.4.2. for an original submission (except that the Review
and Approval Rights shall be limited to the portion previously disapproved or not confirmed), until such matter shall be Approved by
the Reviewing Party.
11.4.4
Duties, Obligations and Responsibilities Not Affected. Approval or confirmation by the Reviewing Party of or to a matter submitted
to it by the Submitting Party shall neither, unless specifically otherwise provided (1) relieve the Submitting Party of its duties, obligations
or responsibilities under this Agreement with respect to the matter so submitted, nor (2) shift the duties, obligations or responsibilities
of the Submitting Party with respect to the submitted matter to the Reviewing Party.
29
11.5
Dispute Resolution.
11.5.1
Settlement By Mutual Agreement. If any dispute, controversy or claim between or among the Parties arises under this Agreement
or is related in any way to this Agreement or the relationship of the Parties hereunder (a “Dispute or Controversy”),
including a Dispute or Controversy relating to the effectiveness, validity, interpretation, implementation, termination, cancellation
or enforcement of this Agreement, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to settle and resolve such Dispute or Controversy by
mutual agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.5.1. If a Dispute or Controversy arises, either Party shall have
the right to notify the other Party that it has elected to implement the procedures set forth in this Section 11.5.1. Within fifteen
(15) days after delivery of any such Notice by one Party to the other Party regarding a Dispute or Controversy, City Representative and
the Owner Representative shall meet at a mutually agreed time and place to attempt, with diligence and in good faith, to resolve and
settle the Dispute or Controversy. If a mutual resolution and settlement are not obtained at the meeting of City Representative and the
Owner Representative, they shall cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner to determine if techniques such as mediation or other
techniques of alternate dispute resolution might be useful. If a technique is agreed upon, a specific timetable and completion date for
implementation shall also be agreed upon. If such technique, timetable or completion date is not agreed upon within thirty (30) days
after the Notice of the Dispute or Controversy was delivered, or if no resolution is obtained through such alternative technique, or
if no such meeting takes place within the fifteen (15)-day period, then either Party may by Notice to the other Party resolve the Dispute
or Controversy by commencing an action, suit or proceeding against the other Party in any state court located in, the City of McKinney,
Texas.
11.5.2
Reserved.
11.5.3
Emergency Relief. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, either Party may seek injunctive relief
or another form of ancillary relief at any time from any court of competent jurisdiction in Collin County, Texas. If a Dispute or Controversy
requires emergency relief before the matter may be resolved under Section 11.5.1, notwithstanding the fact that any court of competent
jurisdiction may enter an order providing for injunctive or another form of ancillary relief, the Parties expressly agree that Section
11.5.1 still shall govern the ultimate resolution of any portion of the Dispute or Controversy.

Operating expenses
13.1
Taxes and Assessments.
13.1.1
Impositions on Complex Site. Owner shall be responsible for the payment of all Impositions levied on the Land, Complex Site,
and the Improvements payable from and after the date it acquired the Land from the MEDC and throughout the term of its ownership of such
Land, Complex Site or Improvements. The City Parties shall not, in any event, assume or undertake any ad valorem tax responsibilities
or liabilities with respect to the Land, the Complex Site or the Improvements.
13.1.2
Payment of Impositions. Owner shall pay, or cause to be paid, in full, all Impositions, including any and all payments in
lieu of taxes, if applicable, district charges, or other assessments or charges levied against any or all of the Land, Complex Site or
Project Improvements directly to the taxing authority or other payee therefor. Such payment shall be completed prior to the date on which
such Imposition would become delinquent. If any Imposition legally may be paid in installments prior to delinquency, whether or not interest
shall accrue on the unpaid balance thereof, Owner shall have the option to make payment in such installments. Owner shall furnish to
the City Parties, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of all Notices of Property Taxes. Within sixty (60) days after payment by Owner
of a Property Tax, Owner shall deliver to the City Parties reasonable evidence of the payment thereof. Each Party hereto shall deliver
to the other, promptly after such party’s receipt thereof, the originals or accurate copies of any and all bills for Impositions
and notices of assessments or reassessments made or to be made for the purpose of levying any Impositions.
The
Parties acknowledge that, in accordance with Section 13.1.2 of the Original Agreement, all Impositions with respect to the 2024 fiscal
year or tax year were apportioned so that Owner was only required to pay the portion of the Impositions that were applicable to the period
after the Closing Date.
13.2
Owner’s Right to Contest Impositions.
13.2.1
Notice. Owner shall have the right to contest, in its own name, and at its sole cost and expense, without postponing payment
thereof, the validity or amount, in whole or in part, of any Impositions, by appropriate proceedings timely instituted in accordance
with any protest procedures permitted by applicable Governmental Authority (a “Tax Proceeding”); provided,
however, that Owner shall not institute or maintain a Tax Proceeding to contest the appraised value of the Complex Site for ad valorem
tax purposes (a) if the then-current or proposed appraised value of the Complex Site for ad valorem tax purposes is equal to or less
than Two Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($220,000,000) or (b) that seeks to, or would have the effect of, reducing the appraised value
of the Complex Site for ad valorem tax purposes to an amount less than Two Hundred Twenty Million Dollars ($220,000,000), in either case
without the prior written consent of the City, which consent may be withheld in the City’s sole and absolute discretion; and provided
further that Owner at all times effectively stays or prevents any non-judicial or judicial sale of any part of the Complex Site or any
interest a City Party may have in the Land or Complex Site, by reason of non-payment of any Impositions. Following the Land Sale, if
it closes, the $220,000,000 limitation set forth in this Section 13.2.1 shall apply to the aggregate appraised value of the Ground
Estate and the Improvements Estate. For so long as Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC (or a permitted successor or assign under this Agreement)
holds both a leasehold interest in the Ground Estate and ownership of the Improvements Estate, Owner shall have the sole right to contest
any Impositions with respect to either the Ground Estate or the Improvements Estate, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
13.2., including without limitation the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of the proviso to the first sentence of this
Section 13.2.1. Owner shall diligently pursue all such Tax Proceedings in good faith. Further, Owner shall, incident to any such
Tax Proceeding, provide such bond or other security as may be required by the applicable Governmental Authority, if any. OWNER SHALL
INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD CITY PARTIES HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL SUCH IMPOSITIONS AND ALL CLAIMS, COSTS FEES, AND EXPENSE RELATED TO
ANY SUCH IMPOSITIONS OR TAX PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PENALTIES AND INTEREST, AND OWNER SHALL PROMPTLY PAY ANY VALID FINAL ADJUDICATION
ENFORCING ANY IMPOSITIONS AND SHALL CAUSE ANY SUCH FINAL ADJUDICATION TO BE TIMELY SATISFIED PRIOR TO ANY TIME PERIOD WITHIN WHICH ANY
NON-JUDICIAL OR JUDICIAL SALE COULD OCCUR TO COLLECT ANY SUCH IMPOSITIONS.
38
13.2.2
Payment. Upon the entry of any determination, ruling or judgment in any Tax Proceedings, it shall be the obligation of Owner
to pay the amount of such Imposition or part thereof as is finally determined in such Tax Proceedings. Upon request, Owner shall promptly
furnish City Parties with copies of all Notices, filings and pleadings in all such Tax Proceedings. If a City Party chooses to participate
in any such Tax Proceedings, such City Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate therein; provided the City Party takes
no action that would be materially adverse to Owner in any such Tax Proceeding where Owner seeks to reduce its obligation to pay Impositions.

Joinder of City Parties. To the extent such cooperation is required by applicable Governmental Authority for such Tax Proceeding,
City Parties shall cooperate in any such Tax Proceeding as reasonably requested by Owner, at Owner’s sole cost and expense, whether
or not City Parties are joined pursuant thereto.
13.2.5
Prima Facie Evidence. The certificate, advice, bill or statement issued or given by any Governmental Authority authorized
by law to issue the same or to receive payment of an Imposition shall be prima facie evidence of the existence, non-payment or amount
of such Imposition.
13.3
Obligations of City Parties. Except for costs that City Parties have specifically agreed to pay and obligations and liabilities
that City Parties have agreed to perform or be responsible for pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, City Parties shall not
be required to make any expenditure, incur any obligation or incur any liability of any kind whatsoever in connection with this Agreement,
the Complex Site or any Impositions.

Owner
shall also procure, or cause to be procured, at Owner’s sole cost and expense, any and all necessary permits, licenses, registrations,
or other authorizations required for the lawful and proper installation and maintenance upon the Complex Site of wires, cables, pipes,

AND HOLD HARMLESS CITY PARTIES AND CITY PARTY INDEMNITEES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OR ALLEGED
TO ARISE OUT OF OR ANY WAY INCIDENTAL TO (a) ANY USE, OCCUPANCY, CONDUCT, MANAGEMENT OR OPERATION OF THE COMPLEX SITE BY OR ON BEHALF
OF OWNER OR ANY AFFILIATE, CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR, INVITEE OR GUEST OF OWNER DURING THE TERM, OR DURING ANY PERIOD OF TIME, IF ANY,

BY OWNER OR BREACH OR DEFAULT OF OWNER IN PERFORMING ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, (c) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL EVENT, OR THE NEGLIGENCE,
INTENTIONAL TORT, WILLFUL ACT, OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF OWNER OR OWNER’S RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “OWNER LIABILITIES”),
OR (d) ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON, OR DAMAGE TO ANY PROPERTY OCCURRING ON THE PROPERTY AND FROM AND AGAINST ALL REASONABLE
EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CLAIM OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT THEREON (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO THE REASONABLE FEES OF ATTORNEYS, INVESTIGATORS AND EXPERTS) ALL REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS ASSERTED DURING OR AFTER THE
EXPIRATION OF THE TERM OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY INCLUDES OWNER’S AGREEMENT TO PAY
ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES OF DEFENSE, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, INCURRED BY CITY PARTIES AND ANY CITY PARTY INDEMNITEE. THIS INDEMNITY
SHALL APPLY WITHOUT LIMITATION TO ANY LIABILITIES IMPOSED ON ANY PARTY INDEMNIFIED HEREUNDER AS A RESULT OF ANY STATUTE, RULE, REGULATION
OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY. THIS INDEMNIFICATION SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO DAMAGES, COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS PAYABLE UNDER INSURANCE
POLICIES, WORKERS’ COMPENSATION ACTS, DISABILITY BENEFIT ACTS OR OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ACTS. ALTHOUGH OWNER HAS CAUSED CITY PARTIES
TO BE NAMED AS LOSS PAYEE OR ADDITIONAL INSURED UNDER OWNER’S INSURANCE POLICIES (EXCEPT WORKERS’ COMPENSATION), OWNER’S
LIABILITY UNDER THIS INDEMNIFICATION PROVISION SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO THE LIABILITY LIMITS SET FORTH IN SUCH POLICIES.
58
OWNER
AGREES THAT CITY PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OR FOR ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF PERSONS OR DAMAGE
TO PROPERTY OF OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER BY REASON OF ANY WORK, LABOR OR MATERIALS PERFORMED OR DELIVERED TO,
OR CONNECTED TO THE USE, OCCUPANCY, OR ENJOYMENT OF THE PREMISES BY OWNER OR ANY PERSON ON THE PREMISES OR HOLDING ALL OR ANY PART OF
THE PREMISES UNDER OWNER. OWNER DOES HEREBY INDEMNIFY AND SAVE HARMLESS CITY PARTIES FROM ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, DEMANDS, COSTS AND REASONABLE
EXPENSES AND LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH REAL OR CLAIMED DAMAGE OR LIABILITY
SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES AND FROM ALL LIENS, CLAIMS AND DEMANDS OCCURRING IN OR AT THE PREMISES, OR ARISING OUT OF THE CONSTRUCTION,
USE, OCCUPANCY OR ENJOYMENT OF THE COMPLEX SITE AND ITS FACILITIES, OR ANY REPAIRS OR ALTERATIONS WHICH OWNER MAY MAKE UPON THE COMPLEX
SITE, OR OCCASIONED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF OWNER OR ANY OF OWNER’S RELATED PARTIES.
OWNER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CITY PARTIES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SECURITY FOR PERSONS OR PROPERTY IN OR ABOUT THE COMPLEX SITE. OWNER HEREBY
WAIVES AND RELEASES ANY CLAIM AGAINST CITY PARTIES FOR INJURY OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON AND ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR ATTRIBUTABLE
TO ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN OR ABOUT THE COMPLEX SITE, SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO VANDALISM, THEFT, BURGLARY, ROBBERY,
RAPE, MURDER OR ASSAULT.

59
19.7.2
Owner’s Exclusions. TO THE EXTENT ANY OF THE CLAIMS FOR WHICH OWNER IS OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY CITY PARTIES AND CITY
PARTY INDEMNITEES PURSUANT TO SECTION 19.7.1 ARE CAUSED BY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, SUCH CLAIMS SHALL NOT BE COVERED BY SUCH INDEMNITY:
(a)
ANY INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANY PERSON OR ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO REAL OR TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT,
CAUSED BY THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF CITY PARTIES OR ANY CITY PARTY INDEMNITEE; OR
(b)
ANY ENVIRONMENTAL EVENT OR ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PRESENT AT, IN, ON OR UNDER THE COMPLEX SITE CAUSED BY OR ARISING FROM THE WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT OF CITY PARTIES OR A CITY PARTY INDEMNITEE FROM AND AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE.
19.8
Conduct of Claims. City Parties shall, reasonably promptly after the receipt of written Notice of any Action or Proceeding
or claim against City Parties or City Party Indemnitees in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to Section 19.7,
notify Owner in writing of such Action or Proceeding or claim. If any such Action or Proceeding or claim shall be made or brought against
City Parties or City Party Indemnitees, Owner may, or if so requested by City Parties shall, assume the defense thereof with counsel
of its selection reasonably acceptable to City Parties and which shall be reasonably competent and experienced to defend City Parties
and/or City Party Indemnitees. In such circumstances, the City Parties and City Party Indemnitees shall (i) at no cost or expense to
City Parties and/or City Party Indemnitees, cooperate with Owner and provide Owner with such information and assistance as Owner shall
reasonably request in connection with such Action or Proceeding or claim, and (ii) at its own expense, have the right to participate
and be represented by counsel of its own choice in any such action or with respect to any such claim. If Owner assumes the defense of
the relevant claim or action, Owner shall not conclude any settlement that requires any action or forbearance from action or payment
or admission by City Parties or any City Party Indemnitee without the prior Approval of such Party, as applicable. The obligations of
Owner under Section 19.7 shall not extend to any loss, damage and expense of whatever kind and nature (including all related costs
and expenses) to the extent the same results from the acts of City Parties or a City Party Indemnitee (unless required by Applicable
Law or applicable legal process) after the assertion of any claim which gave rise to the obligation to indemnify which prejudices the
successful defense of the Action or Proceeding or claim without, in any such case, the prior written Approval of Owner (such Approval
not to be required in a case where Owner has not assumed the defense of the Action or Proceeding or claim). If Owner has assumed the
defense of the relevant Action or Proceeding or claim, City Parties agree to afford Owner and its counsel the opportunity to be present
at, and to participate in, conferences between City Parties and any Persons, including Governmental Authorities, or conferences between
City Parties and representatives of or counsel for such Person, asserting any claim or action against City Parties or City Party Indemnitees
covered by the indemnity contained in Section 19.7 to the extent such conference relates to the subject matter of the claim or
action covered by the indemnity contained in Section 19.7.
60
19.9
Failure to Defend. It is understood and agreed by Owner that if City Parties or any City Party Indemnitee is made a defendant
in any Action or Proceeding or Claim for which it is indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, and Owner fails or refuses to assume the
defense thereof, after having received Notice by City Parties or any City Party Indemnitee of its obligation hereunder to do so, City
Parties or such City Party Indemnitee may compromise or settle or defend any such Action or Proceeding or Claim, and Owner shall be bound
and obligated to reimburse City Parties and/or such City Party Indemnitee for the amount reasonably expended by City Parties and/or City
Party Indemnitee in settling and compromising any such Action or Proceeding or Claim, or for the amount reasonably expended by City Parties
and/or any City Party Indemnitee in paying any judgment rendered therein, together with all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred
by City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee for defense or settlement of such Action or Proceeding or Claim. Any judgment rendered
against City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee or amount reasonably expended by City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee
in compromising or settling such Action or Proceeding or Claim shall be conclusive as determining the amount for which Owner is liable
to reimburse City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee hereunder. To the extent that City Parties and/or any City Party Indemnitee
has the right to, and in fact does, assume the defense of such Action or Proceeding or Claim, City Parties and/or each City Party Indemnitee
shall have the right, at its expense, to employ independent legal counsel in connection with any Action or Proceeding or Claim, and Owner
shall cooperate with such counsel in all reasonable respects at no cost to City Parties or any City Party Indemnitee.
19.10
No Third-Party Beneficiary. The provisions of Sections 19.7, 19.8 and 19.9 are solely for the benefit
of the City Parties, City Party Indemnitees, Owner, and Owner’s Related Parties and are not intended to create or grant any rights,
contractual or otherwise, to any other person.
19.11
Surety Bonds for Additional Work. Prior to the commencement of any Additional Work that shall cost in excess of the Additional
Work Surety Bond Threshold, whether or not such work is Material Additional Work, and at all times during the performance of such Additional
Work and for so long after the completion thereof that any of Owner’s other contractors and subcontractors (other than the Additional
Work Construction Contractor) have not been paid in full in respect to the Additional Work, Owner shall cause the Additional Work Construction
Contractor to obtain, keep and maintain performance and payment bonds from a Qualified Surety in a total amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the costs of the Additional Work.
19.12
No Waiver. Approval, disapproval or failure to act by City Parties regarding any insurance applied by Owner shall not relieve
Owner of full responsibility or liability for damages or accidents as set forth in this Agreement. Neither shall the bankruptcy, insolvency
or denial of liability by the insurance company exonerate Owner from any such liability.
19.13
Increase in Risk. Owner shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing as a result of which either (a) any policy of insurance
of any kind covering any or all of the Land or any liability of City Parties in connection therewith becomes void or suspended and such
insurance policy is not replaced, or (b) the insurance risk under any such policy would (in the opinion of the insurer thereunder) be
made materially greater and action is not taken to address the risk.
61
Article
XX.
CONDEMNATION
20.1
Condemnation of Substantially All of the Complex Site.
20.1.1
Termination Rights. If, at any time during the Term, title to the whole or Substantially All of the Complex Site is taken
in any Condemnation Action (or conveyed in lieu of any such Condemnation Action), other than for a temporary use or occupancy that is
for one (1) year or less in the aggregate, then Owner may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by Notice to City Parties, and in
such event this Agreement shall terminate and expire on the date of such taking (or conveyance) and all other payments, including Impositions,
shall be paid to the date of such taking (or conveyance). With respect to any sums payable to City Parties hereunder or pursuant hereto
that are to be paid to City Parties in the event of such termination but which are not then capable of ascertainment, reasonable estimates
of such items shall be made and such estimates shall be included in the aforesaid payment, and City Parties and Owner shall make adjustments
to correct any error in such estimates as and when the same become determined.
20.1.2
Condemnation Awards. All Condemnation Awards payable as a result of or in connection with any taking of the whole or Substantially
All of the Complex Site shall be paid and distributed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 20.1.2. Notwithstanding
the division of the Condemnation Award by a court or condemning authority in a Condemnation Action, all Condemnation Awards shall be
payable first, to pay outstanding Permitted Project Financing and any other Debt (as required by the applicable loan documents) of and
other investments by Owner and its Affiliates to pay for construction of the Improvements, second, to satisfy any remaining obligations
of Owner to City Parties under this Agreement, and thereafter to Owner. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after
the closing of the Land Sale, all Condemnation Awards shall be allocated and paid subject to the rights of STORE Capital and any successor
fee owner under the Recognition Agreement and the Lease, including with respect to the portion of any Condemnation Award attributable
to the Ground Estate.
20.2
Condemnation of Part. In the event of a Condemnation Action affecting less than the whole or less than Substantially All of
the Complex Site, the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way, and the following provisions shall apply:
20.2.1
Condemnation Awards. All Condemnation Awards payable as a result of or in connection with any taking of less than the whole
or less than Substantially All of the Complex Site shall be paid and distributed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
20.2. Notwithstanding the division of the Condemnation Award by a court or condemning authority in a Condemnation Action, Owner shall
be entitled to the entire proceeds of the Condemnation Award (subject to the rights of any Mortgagees). The Condemnation Award payable
to Owner pursuant to this Section 20.2 shall be paid to Owner and applied by Owner in the following order of priority: (i) payment
of all Condemnation Expenses and (ii) paying any remainder to Owner (subject to the rights of any Mortgagees). For purposes of this Article
XX, “Substantially All of the Complex Site”
shall be deemed to have been taken if, by reason of the taking of title to or possession of the Complex Site or any portion thereof by
Condemnation Actions, an Inoperable Condition exists or is reasonably expected to exist for longer than one (1) year. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, from and after the closing of the Land Sale, all Condemnation Awards shall be allocated and paid subject
to the rights of STORE Capital and any successor fee owner under the Recognition Agreement and the Lease, including with respect to the
portion of any Condemnation Award attributable to the Ground Estate.
62
20.2.2
Restoration of the Complex Site. Following a condemnation of less than the whole or Substantially All of the Complex Site
during the Term, Owner shall, subject to the requirements of Section 15.2 and Article XX, with reasonable diligence (subject
to Excusable Owner Delay and/or City Party Delay), commence and thereafter proceed to repair, alter and restore the remaining part of
the Complex Site described in clause (a) of the definition thereof to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same
may be feasible and in accordance with the Final Base Complex Plan that has been Approved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as
and if required, to the extent practical and permitted by Applicable Law. Such repairs, alterations or restoration, including temporary
repairs for the protection of Persons or Property pending the completion of any part thereof are sometimes referred to in this Article
XX as the “Condemnation Repair Work.”
20.3
Temporary Taking. If the whole or any part of the Complex Site shall be taken in Condemnation Actions for a temporary use
or occupancy of one (1) year or less, the Term shall not be reduced, extended or affected in any way. Except to the extent that Owner
is prevented from doing so pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning authority or because it is not practical as a result
of such taking, Owner shall continue to perform and observe all of the other covenants, agreements, terms and provisions of this Agreement
as though such temporary taking had not occurred. In the event of any such temporary taking, Owner shall be entitled to receive the entire
amount of any Condemnation Award made for such taking (subject to the rights of any Mortgagees), whether such award is paid by way of
damages or otherwise, less any Condemnation Expenses paid by City Parties, if any.
20.4
Condemnation Proceedings. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, (i) Owner and City Parties each shall have the
right, at their own expense, to appear in any Condemnation Action and to participate in any and all hearings, trials and appeals therein.
20.5
Notice of Condemnation. If City Parties or Owner shall receive Notice of any proposed or pending Condemnation Action affecting
the Complex Site, the Party receiving such Notice shall promptly notify the other Party hereto.
20.6
Survival. The provisions contained in this Article XX shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement,
but only insofar as such provisions relate to any Condemnation Action or Condemnation Awards that arose prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement.
63
Article
XXI.
ASSIGNMENT
AND TRANSFER
21.1
Assignment. (a) Owner hereby acknowledges that City Parties have entered into this Agreement because of Owner’s financial
strength, goodwill, ability and expertise and that, accordingly, this Agreement is one which is personal to Owner, and Owner agrees for
itself and its successors and assigns in interest hereunder that it shall not, during the Term of this Agreement, relinquish control
of the Complex Site, the Project Improvements, the Property generally, subject only to the rights granted to the Operator to operate
the Complex under the terms of the Operator Agreement, or Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC. As used in this Section 21.1, the term
“control” shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management

encumbrance or other transfer (each a “Transfer”) in contravention of the foregoing agreement without the prior
written Approval of City, shall not be permitted hereunder and shall constitute an Event of Default. In no event shall the City Parties
have any control or discretion over the financing or ownership structure utilized by Owner, provided Owner maintains operational control
of the Complex as provided herein above; provided, however, upon City’s reasonable, written request, Owner shall provide City with
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City that Owner maintains operational control of the Complex; provided further, however, the
assignee, lessee, purchaser, or transferee under a Transfer shall be subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, Section 3.3.1.
(b)
Owner represents that, as of the Execution Date of this Agreement, Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC, as owner of the Land, intends to (a)
sell the Ground Estate to STORE Capital pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Land Sale”), while

October 19, 2026, between Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC, as lessee, and STORE Capital, as lessor (the “Lease”),
pursuant to which Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC will ground lease the Ground Estate from STORE Capital. The Land Sale and the Lease
are referred to collectively herein as the “Sale-Leaseback Transaction.”

City Parties hereby approve Owner’s Transfer of the Ground Estate to STORE Capital through the Land Sale, subject to satisfaction
of each of the following conditions prior to closing of the Land Sale:
(1)
Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC shall execute and deliver to MEDC the First Amendment to Deed of Trust, attached hereto as Exhibit

County, Texas, and shall at all times constitute a first and superior lien on the Assigned Rents (as defined in the Collateral Assignment
of Rents) and the other Assignment Property, senior to any other lien, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest, or encumbrance on
the Assigned Rents and such other Assignment Property, other than as may be set forth in the First Amendment to Deed of Trust;

under the Recognition Agreement, including, but not limited to, any deposits required thereunder, each in form and substance acceptable
to the City Parties;
(9)
Owner shall pay, whether or not the closing of the Land Sale occurs, all reasonable fees and expenses of the City Parties incurred from
August 27, 2026, through and including the date of closing of the Land Sale (or, if the Land Sale does not close, through and including
the date on which Owner notifies the City in writing that Owner is not proceeding with the Land Sale), in connection with the Land Sale,
the Sale-Leaseback Transaction, and the approval of this Agreement, including without limitation the fees and expenses of Brown &
Hofmeister, L.L.P. and Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP. Such fees and expenses include but are not limited to all fees and expenses incurred
in connection with (a) negotiating, preparing, drafting, reviewing, commenting on, and finalizing all agreements, instruments, and documents
executed or delivered in connection with the Land Sale and Sale-Leaseback Transaction, including without limitation the Purchase and
Sale Agreement, the Lease, the Recognition Agreement, the First Amendment to Deed of Trust, the Construction Escrow Agreement, the Collateral
Assignment of Rents, and any reaffirmation of Personal Guaranty; (b) reviewing and advising on title, survey, and due diligence matters
related to the Land Sale and Sale-Leaseback Transaction; (c) negotiating, reviewing, and advising on any conditions to closing set forth

(12)
Owner shall deliver to the City Parties evidence reasonably satisfactory to City Parties demonstrating that all revenues derived from

and
(13)
Owner shall be in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 21.8.
Upon
closing of the Land Sale: (1) MEDC shall retain the $10,000,000.00 received under Section 3.3.2, subject to Owner’s reimbursement
obligation as set forth in the Agreement; and (2) notwithstanding anything in Section 3.3.2 to the contrary, MEDC’s obligations
under Section 3.3.2 to (a) invest the $10,000,000.00 and (b) pay Accrued Interest to Owner shall immediately terminate and be
of no further force or effect, and MEDC shall thereupon have the unconditional right to use, expend, or otherwise apply the $10,000,000.00
in any lawful manner, in MEDC’s sole and absolute discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, Owner’s obligation to repay to
MEDC all Accrued Interest paid to Owner through a temporary adjustment to the Ticket Fee shall remain in full force and effect.
(c)
The City Parties further agree as follows with respect to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction:
(1)
The City Parties consent to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction;
(2)
The Sale-Leaseback Transaction does not, in and of itself and without regard to any subsequent default or breach thereunder, constitute
an Event of Default or an Owner Default under this Agreement or any document executed or delivered in connection herewith. For the avoidance
of doubt, nothing in this clause (2) limits or waives the City Parties’ rights under Section 23.2.1 with respect to any
default of Owner or Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC under the Sale-Leaseback Transaction;
(3)
The Sale-Leaseback Transaction does not, in and of itself, impair Owner’s rights to receive incentives pursuant to this Agreement;
66
(4)
The Sale-Leaseback Transaction does not, in and of itself, impair Owner’s obligation to maintain control of the Complex Site, the
Project Improvements, and the Property generally pursuant to this Section 21.1;
(5)
Owner’s obligation to provide parking for the Complex pursuant to this Agreement remains satisfied through the Sale-Leaseback Transaction;
and
(6)
The City Parties consent to Owner’s assignment of the Project Construction Contract to STORE Capital; provided, however, that such
consent is expressly conditioned upon and subject to the restrictions, limitations, and conditions set forth in Section 5(h) of the Recognition
Agreement, including without limitation (i) the prohibition on STORE Capital exercising certain rights as set forth in Section 5(h) of
the Recognition Agreement under the Project Construction Contract or any General Contract Assignment prior to a written Construction
Election, (ii) the allocation of Pre-Election Construction Costs to the applicable Venu Parties, and (iii) the preservation of all City
Party rights and remedies thereunder.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless STORE Capital expressly assumes such obligations in writing, STORE
Capital, solely in its capacity as owner of the Ground Estate pursuant to the Land Sale, shall not be obligated to perform, or to cause
to be performed, any obligation of Owner to complete, maintain, or operate the Project Improvements as set forth in this Agreement. This
limitation shall not (i) relieve STORE Capital of any obligation applicable to STORE Capital as owner of the Ground Estate pursuant to
the Land Sale under this Agreement to the extent expressly provided in the Recognition Agreement, or (ii) limit or affect the obligations
of Venu Holding Corporation or Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC with respect to the completion, maintenance, or operation of the Project
Improvements under this Agreement.
21.2
Costs. In connection with any request for City’s Approval under this Article XXI, and as a condition to City’s
obligation to deliver its Approval, Owner shall pay to City all reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by City in reviewing
Owner’s request for Approval, whether or not City grants such Approval.
21.3
No Waiver of Rights by City Parties. The Approval of City of any proposed Transfer shall not be a waiver of any right to object
to further or future proposed Transfers, and the Approval of City of each such successive proposed Transfer must be first obtained in
writing from City. No such Transfer shall alter or impair the obligations hereunder of Owner or any other person constituting Owner or
holding any interest hereunder before any such Transfer.
21.4
Conditions to Effectiveness of Any Transfer. Any proposed Transfer to which City’s Approval is required by this Article
XXI shall be void and shall confer no right upon the proposed transferee with respect to this Agreement unless and until (a) such
Approval of City is obtained, (b) the transferee of Owner shall have assumed in writing each and every one of the terms, covenants and
provisions of Owner contained in this Agreement with respect to the period from and after the Transfer, by an instrument delivered to
City, and (c) any then-existing default by Owner under this Agreement is fully cured (it being expressly acknowledged that City may condition
its Approval of any Transfer on the cure of any and all such defaults existing at the time of such proposed Transfer). Any such Transfer
in which City has given its Approval shall not constitute a release of any liability, existing or future, under this Agreement unless
such Approval specifically includes an express written release by City, which release City has no obligation to provide. Subject to the
provisions of this Article XXI, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns in interest hereunder.
67
21.5
Use Agreements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict Owner from leasing portions of the Project Improvements
under Use Agreements, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and without City’s Approval, provided that each such
Use Agreement (a) shall be subject and subordinate to this Agreement and any Mortgage and to the rights of City hereunder and the rights
of any Mortgagee thereunder, and shall expressly so state, and (b) shall be operated at the Operating Standard. Owner shall at all times
remain liable for the performance of all of the covenants and agreements under this Agreement on Owner’s part to be so performed.
21.6
Transfers by City Parties. Except with respect to a City Party Transfer to the other City Parties or a City Controlled Entity
that is capable of performing and complying with all obligations of City Parties hereunder, the City Parties shall not effect a City
Party Transfer of their interest in this Agreement at any time or from time to time to any Person (a “City Party Transferee”),
without the prior Approval of Owner, such Approval not to be unreasonably withheld. For purposes of this Section 21.6, a “City
Party Transfer” shall mean any assignment or other transfer by a City Party of this Agreement or any part thereof or interest
therein by a City Party. City Parties shall promptly give Notice to Owner advising Owner of the name of any City Party Transferee. Any
security given by Owner to secure performance of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement shall be transferred by City Parties
to the successor in interest of City Parties, and City Parties shall thereby be discharged of any further obligation relating thereto.
21.7
No Release.
21.7.1
Owner. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Owner shall remain fully responsible and liable for compliance with all of Owner’s
other obligations under this Agreement for periods prior to such Transfer.
21.7.2
City Party. No City Party Transfer shall relieve such City Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement for periods
prior to such City Party Transfer, except that City Party shall be relieved from any obligations under this Agreement relating to periods
on and after the date of the City Party Transfer in question if, and only if (a) Owner Approves such City Party Transfer or (b) Owner’s
Approval to such City Party Transfer is not required pursuant to the terms of Section 21.6.
21.8
General Provisions. Owner shall, in connection with any assignment, conveyance, or lease, upon the written request of City,
provide Notice to City of the name, legal composition and address of any assignee or grantee. In addition, upon the written request of
City, Owner shall provide City with a description of the nature of the assignee’s or grantee’s business to be carried on
in the Complex Site. In no event, however, shall Owner be required to provide City with a copy of any assignment agreement, deed, or
lease. Each such lease (including each Capital Lease) shall expressly provide that the rights and obligations thereunder are subject
to the terms of this Agreement.
68
Article
XXII.

Owner’s Representations and Warranties. As an inducement to City Parties to enter into this Agreement, Owner represents
and warrants to City Parties as of the Execution Date as follows (except that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections

(a)

DEFAULTS
AND REMEDIES
23.1
Events of Default.
23.1.1
Owner Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall be an “Event of Default” by Owner or
an “Owner Default” (and, for purposes of Sections 23.1.1(e), (f), and (g), the terms “Owner” and
“Owner Default” shall specifically include Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, no default by Owner, Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC, or Venu Presents, LLC under any Cross-Default Document shall constitute
an Event of Default or Owner Default under this Agreement unless and until such default remains uncured following the expiration of all
applicable notice and cure periods expressly provided to such parties (but not to any other party) under the applicable Cross-Default
Document; provided, however, that in no event shall the foregoing operate to defer the occurrence of an Owner Default under this Agreement
beyond the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which the underlying default first occurred under the applicable
Cross-Default Document. The foregoing one hundred eighty (180) day outside cure date shall not shorten, limit, or override the Guarantor
Cure Period.

after Notice from a City Party to Owner of such default and (b) in the case of a non-monetary default, thirty (30) days after Notice
from a City Party to Owner of such default, or (2) in the case of any such default that cannot with due diligence and good faith be cured
within ten (10) days (with respect to a monetary default) or thirty (30) days with respect to a non-monetary default, Owner fails to
commence to cure such default within ten (10) or thirty (30) days, as applicable, after Notice from a City Party to Owner of such default,
or Owner fails to prosecute diligently the cure of such default to completion within such additional period as may be reasonably required
to cure such default with diligence and in good faith; it being intended that, in connection with any such default which is not susceptible
of being cured with due diligence and in good faith within such ten (10) or thirty (30) day time period, as applicable, but is otherwise
reasonably susceptible of cure, the time within which Owner is required to cure such default shall be extended for such additional period
as may be necessary for the curing thereof with due diligence and in good faith; provided, however, that if such default is not
cured within one hundred eighty (180) days after Notice from a City Party of such default (notwithstanding Owner’s diligent prosecution
of curative efforts), then such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement;
73
(f)
The (1) filing by Owner of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; (2) adjudication of Owner as bankrupt; (3) approval as properly filed

subsidiary of the Owner, which default remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and cure period; or
(h)
The default by (i) Owner, (ii) Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC, or (iii) Venu Presents, LLC under the Lease or any lease, contract, or
other document that Owner enters into that satisfies, in whole or in part, or otherwise relates to Owner’s obligation under Section

or a “City Party Default”:
(a)

for twenty (20) Business Days after Owner gives notice to such City Party that such amount was not paid when due;
(b)
the failure of City Party to perform or observe any of the other obligations, covenants or agreements to be performed or observed by
such City Party under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after notice from Owner of such failure; provided, however, that
if such performance or observance cannot reasonably be accomplished within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then no Event of Default
shall occur unless City Party fails to commence such performance or observance within such thirty (30) calendar day period and fails
to diligently prosecute such performance or observance to conclusion thereafter; provided further, however, that if such
performance or observance has not been accomplished within one hundred eighty (180) days after notice from Owner to City Party of such
failure (notwithstanding City Party’s diligent prosecution of its curative efforts), then such failure shall constitute an Event
of Default hereunder;
74
(c)
the material breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement by City Party and such breach is not remedied within thirty
(30) days after Owner gives notice to City Party of such breach; or
(d)

properly filed by a court of competent jurisdiction of any petition or other pleading in any action seeking reorganization, rearrangement,
adjustment or composition of, or in respect of a City Party under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar state or federal
law dealing with creditors’ rights generally; (4) a City Party’s assets are levied upon by virtue of a writ of court of competent
jurisdiction; (5) insolvency of a City Party; (6) assignment by a City Party of all or substantially of its assets for the benefit of

(90) days after such appointment, such City Party causes such appointment to be stayed or discharged.
23.1.3
Guarantor Cure Right.
(a)
Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Development Document, upon the first occurrence
of an Owner Default following the Execution Date, J.W. Roth and Kevin O’Neil (each, a “DA Guarantor” and collectively,
the “DA Guarantors”), acting jointly or either of them acting alone, shall have a one-time right, but not the obligation,
to invoke a Guarantor Cure Period (as defined herein) by delivering written notice of such election to each of the City Parties (the
“Guarantor Election Notice”) within three (3) Business Days after the later of (x) the DA Guarantor’s receipt
of the City Parties’ written notice of such Owner Default, if such Owner Default is an immediate default with no cure period under
the applicable Development Document, or (y) the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods expressly provided under the applicable
Development Document with respect to such Owner Default without cure of such Owner Default (the “Election Deadline”).
Upon timely delivery of the Guarantor Election Notice, DA Guarantors shall have sixty (60) days from the date of the Guarantor Election
Notice (the “Guarantor Cure Period”), to cure such Owner Default. If DA Guarantors fail to deliver the Guarantor Election
Notice on or before the Election Deadline, the right granted under this Section 23.1.3 shall be deemed irrevocably waived and
forfeited with respect to such Owner Default, and the City Parties may immediately exercise all rights and remedies available under this
Agreement, the Development Documents, and applicable law without further notice or waiting period. For the avoidance of doubt, except
as expressly provided in the Recognition Agreement and the Lease following any failure to satisfy the applicable monetary or insurance
conditions set forth therein, STORE may not elect to discontinue its forbearance under the Recognition Agreement or the Lease during
the Guarantor Cure Period.
75
(b)
Non-Waiver. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the existence of the Guarantor Cure Period, the delivery or receipt
of any Guarantor Election Notice, and/or the City Parties’ participation in the Guarantor Cure Period, shall not constitute and
shall not be construed as (i) a waiver, release, satisfaction, cure, modification, or estoppel with respect to any Owner Default or Trigger
Event (as defined in the Recognition Agreement), (ii) an election of remedies, (iii) an agreement or obligation by the City Parties to
accept any transfer, assumption, or restructuring, (iv) a suspension, modification, or impairment of any City right or remedy under this
Agreement, any Development Document, or applicable law, or (v) a course of dealing or course of performance that could be asserted to
limit, modify, or preclude any City Party right or remedy. No implied waiver shall arise from any City Party’s participation in
the Guarantor Cure Period, failure to exercise remedies during the Guarantor Cure Period, or acceptance of a Guarantor Election Notice.
(c)
Reservation of Rights. Subject to the City Parties’ temporary cessation of their pursuit of remedies during the Guarantor
Cure Period, the City Parties and MEDC expressly reserve and retain all rights and remedies against the Venu Parties (as defined in the
Recognition Agreement), DA Guarantors, and all other parties under the Development Documents and applicable law, including without limitation
the rights to foreclose the Deed of Trust, exercise the rights under the Lease Assignment in Lieu, collect Assigned Rents (as defined
in the Recognition Agreement) directly, draw upon the Construction Escrow (as defined in the Construction Escrow Agreement), appoint
a receiver, and exercise all step-in and operator-selection rights, and no such right or remedy is impaired by the existence, invocation,
or pendency of the Guarantor Cure Period or any Guarantor Election Notice.
(d)
Effect of Cure. Upon timely satisfaction of the Owner Default, the applicable Owner Default shall be deemed cured for all purposes
of this Agreement, the Development Documents and the Recognition Agreement, and no Trigger Event (as defined in the Recognition Agreement)
shall be deemed to have occurred with respect thereto.
(e)
One-Time Right. The right granted in this Section 23.1.3 may be exercised only once during the Term and shall be deemed
exhausted upon (i) the expiration of the Election Deadline without timely delivery of a Guarantor Election Notice, or (ii) the expiration
of the Guarantor Cure Period without such Owner Default being satisfied. Following exhaustion, no Guarantor Cure Period shall apply to
any subsequent Owner Default, whether or not of the same or similar nature, and the City Parties’ rights and remedies with respect
thereto shall be governed by this Agreement and the Recognition Agreement without regard to this Section 23.1.3.
76
23.2
Remedies. Subject to the provisions of this Article XXIII:
23.2.1
City Parties’ Remedies.
Subject
to this Article XXIII, upon the occurrence of an Owner Default, a City Party may, in its sole discretion, pursue the following
remedies after delivery of Notice to Owner:
(a)
In the event of an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(a):
(i)
City Parties may terminate this Agreement by providing written Notice to Owner; and
(ii)
Owner shall pay the City Parties Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00);
(b)
In the event of an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(b), Owner shall not be entitled to receive any City Party contribution
or incentive set forth in Section 9.8;
(c)
In the event of an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(c), Owner shall not be entitled to receive any City Party contribution
or incentive set forth in Section 9.8 other than reimbursement of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 9.8.4(c);
provided, however, that such reimbursement shall be reduced by liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 per day, which damages shall
accrue until Owner has obtained a TCO;
(d)
In the event of an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(d), Owner shall not be entitled to receive any City Party contribution
or incentive set forth in Section 9.8 other than the reimbursement of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 9.8.4(c),
until Owner has obtained a CO, and Owner shall pay liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 per day in the form of a reduction to,
at the City Parties’ option, one or more of the contributions and/or incentives provided in Section 9.8, including specifically,
but not limited to, reimbursement of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 9.8.4(c), which damages shall accrue until Owner
has obtained a CO;
(e)
In the event of any Owner Default set forth in Section 23.1.1(e), Section 23.1.1(g), or Section 23.1.1(h):
(i)
Owner shall pay liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000 per day in the form of a reduction to, at the City Parties’ option,
one or more of the contributions and/or incentives provided in Section 9.8, which damages shall accrue from the date a City Party
has provided Owner with a Notice of Owner Default until Owner has cured such Owner Default; and
(ii)
City Parties may exercise any remedies provided by this Agreement, the Deed of Trust, the Development Documents, or applicable law.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Owner Default under Section 23.1.1(e), Section 23.1.1(g), or Section 23.1.1(h) is not cured
within 180 days after the earlier of (i) the City Party’s Notice thereof or (ii) the date on which any of Owner, Sunset Ground
at McKinney, LLC, or Venu Presents, LLC first had actual knowledge of, was given notice of, or otherwise became aware of such default
(which 180-day period runs concurrently with, and does not commence upon the expiration of, any cure period under Section 23.1.1(e) or
the applicable Cross-Default Document), Owner shall thereafter not be entitled to receive any City Party contribution or incentive set
forth in Section 9.8, including specifically, but not limited to, reimbursement of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section
9.8.4(c). If, upon a City Party’s Notice to Owner of an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(e), Section 23.1.1(g),
or Section 23.1.1(h), the Owner has a reasonable, good-faith basis to assert, and does assert, such Owner Default has not occurred,
the Parties shall resolve such disagreement pursuant to Section 11.5.1; and
77
(f)
In the event of an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(f), City Parties may terminate this Agreement by providing written
Notice to Owner and Owner shall not be entitled to receive any additional City Party contributions or incentives set forth in Section
9.8, including specifically, but not limited to, reimbursement of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 9.8.4(c). If
an Owner Default pursuant to Section 23.1.1(f) occurs after Owner has purchased the Land from MEDC but prior to the time MEDC
has reimbursed Owner pursuant to Section 9.8.4(c), MEDC shall retain the Purchase Price, including any amount of the Purchase
Price already paid to MEDC, and may exercise any remedies provided by the Deed of Trust, Development Documents, or applicable law.
No
expiration or termination of this Agreement, or summary dispossession proceedings, abandonment, bankruptcy, re-entry by a City Party
or vacancy, shall relieve Owner of any of its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement that arose during the Term, and Owner
shall remain liable to City Parties for all damages resulting from any Event of Default, including but not limited to any damage (including
any payments made by City, MEDC and/or MCDC under Section 3.3.2 or Section 9.8 on or after the Effective Date) resulting
from the breach by Owner of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including any obligation to pay any sums which Owner is obligated
to pay hereunder. If an Event of Default exists, Owner shall, immediately on its receipt of a written demand therefor from a City Party,
reimburse such City Party for (a) all reasonable expenses (including but not limited to any and all reasonable costs, management expenses,
operating expenses, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by a City Party (i) in curing or seeking to cure any
Event of Default and/or (ii) in exercising or seeking to exercise any of a City Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement
and/or at law or in equity on account of any Event of Default, plus (b) interest on all such expenses, at the lesser of the prime rate
(as reported by the Wall Street Journal’s bank survey) plus 3% or the highest rate then permitted on account thereof by applicable
law, all of which expenses shall be payable by Owner immediately on demand therefor by a City Party.
23.2.2
Owner’s Remedies. Subject to this Article XXIII, upon the occurrence of any City Party Default beyond the expiration
of any applicable notice and cure periods, Owner may, at its sole discretion, have the option to pursue any one or more of the following
remedies without any Notice or demand whatsoever, other than any Notice expressly provided in this Agreement:
(a)
Owner may terminate this Agreement for a City Party Default under Section 25.2; and
78
(b)
Owner may exercise any and all other remedies available to Owner at law or in equity; provided
that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, Owner’s rights under this Section 23.2 shall
be subject to the waiver and release contained in Section 17.3.
23.2.3
Right to Terminate. Without limitation of the other termination rights expressly provided to the applicable parties hereunder,
there shall be no right to terminate upon the occurrence of either an Owner Default set forth in Sections 23.1.1(b)-(e), or a
City Party Default except as set forth in Section 23.2.2(a).
23.2.4
Cumulative Remedies. Subject to the provisions of this Article XXIII, each right or remedy of City Parties and Owner
provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative of and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy of City Parties or Owner
provided for in this Agreement, and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise by City Parties or Owner of any one or more of the
rights or remedies provided for in this Agreement shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by City Parties or Owner of any
or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Agreement or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.
23.3
Right to Injunction. In addition to the remedies set forth in this Article XXIII, the Parties shall be entitled to
seek injunctive relief prohibiting (rather than mandating) action by the other Party in connection with an Event of Default and to seek
declaratory relief with respect to any matter under this Agreement for which such remedy is available hereunder, at law or in equity.
23.4
No Waivers.
23.4.1
General. No failure or delay of any Party, in any one or more instances (i) in exercising any power, right or remedy under
this Agreement or (ii) in insisting upon the strict performance by the other Party of such other Party’s covenants, obligations
or agreements under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver, discharge or invalidation thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right, power or remedy or insistence on strict performance, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such
a right, power or remedy or to enforce strict performance, preclude any other or future exercise thereof or insistence thereupon or the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The covenants, obligations, and agreements of a defaulting Party and the rights and remedies
of the other Party upon a default shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission.
23.4.2
No Accord and Satisfaction. Without limiting the generality of Section 23.1.1 above, no acceptance by a City Party
or Owner of a lesser sum than then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of the amounts due under
this Agreement, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check, or any letter accompanying any check, wire transfer or other payment,
be deemed an accord and satisfaction. City Parties and Owner may accept a check, wire transfer or other payment without prejudice to
its right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Agreement.
79
23.4.3
No Waiver of Termination Notice. Without limiting the effect of Section 23.1.1 above, the receipt by a City Party of
any sums paid by Owner after the termination in any manner of the Term, or after the giving by a City Party of any Notice hereunder to
effect such termination, shall not, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, reinstate, continue or extend the Term,
or destroy, or in any manner impair the efficacy of, any such Notice of termination as may have been given hereunder by a City Party
to Owner prior to the receipt of any such sums paid or other consideration, unless so agreed to in writing and executed by a City Party.
23.5
Effect of Termination. If City Parties or Owner elect to terminate this Agreement, as provided herein (whether such termination
occurs pursuant to this Article XXIII or any other provision hereof), this Agreement shall, on the effective date of such termination,
terminate with respect to all future rights and obligations of performance hereunder by the Parties (except for the rights and obligations
herein that expressly are to survive termination hereof). Termination of this Agreement shall not alter the then existing Claims, if
any, of either Party for breaches of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination and the obligations of the Parties hereto with
respect thereto shall survive termination.
23.6

GENERAL
PROVISIONS
25.1
No Broker’s Fees or Commissions. Each Party hereto hereby represents to the other Party hereto that such Party has not
created any liability for any broker’s fee, broker’s or agent’s commission, finder’s fee or other fee or commission
in connection with this Agreement.
80
25.2
Non-Appropriation. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Parties agree that (a) the provisions of this
Section 25.2 shall prevail over any other provisions of this Agreement and (b) the obligation of City Parties to pay any money
under any provision of this Agreement is contingent upon an Appropriation by City Parties in the amount of such payment or other monetary
obligation. Neither City Parties nor their elected officials, attorneys or other individuals acting on behalf of City Parties, make any
representation or warranty as to whether any appropriation shall, from time to time during the Term of this Agreement, be approved by
the Controlling Body of such City Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of City Parties to make
an Appropriation shall not cause City Parties to be in default under the terms of this Agreement, there being no obligation imposed by
law requiring the same; provided, however, in the event of a Non-Appropriation by City Parties related to an undisputed monetary
obligation of City Parties under this Agreement, Owner, as its sole and exclusive remedy as a result thereof, may terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Article XXIII.
25.3
Employment of Consultants. City Parties shall have the right, at their sole cost and expense unless otherwise expressly provided
herein, to employ such consultants as such City Party may deem necessary to assist in the review of any and all plans, specifications,

Open Records. If any Person requests a City Party to disclose any information of a confidential, proprietary or trade secret
nature with respect to the private contract rights under the Texas Public Information Act (Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. Sec. 552.001 et
seq.) or any equivalent or successor statute (the “Open Records Act”) and such information is subject to, or
potentially subject to, an exception under the Open Records Act, then prior to making any such disclosure and to the extent permitted
under Applicable Law, such City Party shall send Notice to Owner of such request within five (5) Business Days of City Party’s
receipt of such request. Within five (5) Business Days of Owner’s receipt of such Notice from City Party, Owner shall notify such
City Party in writing whether Owner desires City Party to request a determination from the Texas Attorney General (an “Opinion
Request”) as to whether the requested information must be disclosed pursuant to the Open Records Act; provided that
City Party shall only be required to comply with the foregoing to the extent that City Party, in good faith, believes there is a reasonable
basis for claiming that the requested information is subject to an exception under the Open Records Act and the Open Records Act permits
City Party to make an Opinion Request in the circumstance in question. Upon receipt of a request from Owner for City Party to make an
Opinion Request and provided such City Party is required to act on same pursuant to the terms hereof, City Party, at Owner’s sole
cost and expense, shall provide all commercially reasonable assistance to Owner necessary to draft the Opinion Request so that it may
be completed and filed within the time period prescribed by the Open Records Act. After the Opinion Request is so filed, each Party shall
cooperate with each other Party in preparing appropriate responses or filings to the Texas Attorney General and to any other Person with
respect to the information request and the Opinion Request, including any commercially reasonable appeals involved with respect thereto,
to prevent the disclosure of such information. Each Party shall also cooperate with each other Party and use reasonable efforts to promptly
identify any possible third Person whose privacy or property interests may be compromised by any such information request in order to
enable City Party to timely furnish to any such third Person any statutory Notice required by the Open Records Act and to seek any applicable
exceptions from disclosure under the Open Records Act.
25.6
Maintenance of Rights of Way, Easements and Licenses. Owner, at Owner’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain, preserve
and renew all rights of way, easements, grants, privileges, licenses and franchises reasonably necessary for the use of the Project Improvements
from time to time. Owner shall not, without the prior Approval of City, initiate, join in or consent to any variance, private restrictive
covenant or other public or private restriction as to the use of the Project Improvements or any portion thereof, or any declaration,
plat or other document having the effect of subjecting the Project Improvements to the condominium or cooperative form of ownership.
Owner shall, however, comply with all restrictive covenants which may at any time affect the Project Improvements, ordinances and other
public or private restrictions relating to the use of the Project Improvements.
25.7
Compliance with Anti-Forfeiture Laws. Owner shall not commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording any
Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture against the Project Improvements or any part thereof. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the entry of a final, non-appealable judgment against Owner providing for the forfeiture of all or substantially all
of the Complex Site or the Project Improvements, shall, at the election of a City Party (which election must be made within forty-five
(45) days following entry of such judgment), constitute an immediate Owner Default.

Parties a non-exclusive right to the trademarks and other intellectual property concerning the Complex for use in the City Parties’
promotional materials. As between the Parties, all goodwill arising from any such use shall inure to the benefit of Owner.

exercise (u) would reasonably be considered lewd, offensive or immoral, including any sign or advertisement that promotes activities

each case, with a population in excess of 200,000, or (y) would reasonably cause embarrassment or disparagement to a City Party (including
names containing drugs or drug paraphernalia, whether legal or illegal, barbarisms, racial epithets, obscenities, profanity, guns or
firearms, names relating to any sexually-oriented business or enterprise or containing any overt political reference), and City Parties
shall never require payment of any naming rights fee or other payments received by Owner for such Naming Rights. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the official name of the Complex shall include “McKinney.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, Owner hereby grants to City Parties the non-exclusive right to use (but not sublicense) the trade name, mark(s) and
image(s) of the Complex solely for the purpose of marketing and promoting the Complex or a City Party, and for no other purpose; provided,
that no such use shall imply that Owner or any of its Affiliates is the source of or has endorsed or sponsors any marketing or promotional
activity of the City Parties. From and after the date Owner notifies City Parties of (1) Owner’s exercise of any one or more of
the Naming Rights or (2) the existence of a naming rights agreement related thereto, City Parties shall (i) adopt the nomenclature designated
in such naming rights agreement for the Complex Site or the portion thereof covered by such naming rights agreement and (ii) refrain

such Signage subject to the terms of Section 25.9.
25.9.3
Use of Signage and Naming Rights Revenue. City Parties recognize that (a) Owner has contributed and/or shall contribute significant
capital costs to the construction of the Project Improvements, (b) Owner shall be required to pay outstanding Debt (as required by the
applicable loan documents) of and other investments by Owners and its Affiliates to pay for construction of the Improvements, (c) Owner
shall incur significant cost in operating and maintaining the Complex Site, and (d) Owner shall incur significant cost in making and/or
constructing improvements, capital repairs, and replacements at the Complex Site. In recognition of this financial burden and in further
consideration of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement, Owner shall have the right to retain all revenues generated by or from
the sale of naming rights, advertising and signage in all places on or about the Complex Site; provided however, Owner shall use
all or part of such revenues for the payment of costs associated with construction of the Improvements and cost and expenses associated
with operating, maintaining and repairing the Complex Site.

of the failure of such check to clear the receiving Party’s account.
21.

Notice, direction, Approval, instructions, request, reply, advice, confirmation and other communications (hereinafter severally and collectively

2.
The License shall commence on the Effective Date and expire on the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of this Agreement and (b)

and the time during which such access shall be undertaken (the “Work Notice”) for City’s approval, with

of any final version of such report so that City Parties may have an opportunity to object to or dispute any information contained in
any Due Diligence Report. Owner shall provide City Parties with a copy of the final version of all Due Diligence Reports and cause the
same to be issued in such a manner that shall permit City Parties to be legally entitled to rely on such Due Diligence Reports.

Owner causes such lender, attorney or consultant to maintain such information confidential and (B) Owner may disclose the results of
its Due Diligence Work or Due Diligence Reports if it is required to do so by Applicable Law, so long as (x) such disclosure is limited
to the extent, and only to the extent, required by such Applicable Law and (y) Owner immediately discloses such requirement to City Parties
and prior to disclosure as required by such Applicable Law, to the extent it is permitted to do so under such Applicable Law, so as to
afford City Parties an opportunity to prevent such disclosure.

D is in force. The certificates shall provide that in the event of cancellation or material change to coverage, thirty (30) days’
prior written notice shall be given to City. The compliance of Owner and its contractors and subcontractors with the provisions of this
Appendix D and the limits of liability shown for each of the insurance coverages to be provided by Owner and its contractors
and subcontractors shall not be deemed to constitute a limitation of Owner liability for any claims or in any way limit, modify or otherwise
affect Owner indemnification obligations. The insolvency, bankruptcy or failure of any insurance company carrying insurance for Owner
or its contractors or subcontractors, or the failure of any insurance company to pay claims accruing shall not be held to waive or invalidate

13.
Neither Owner nor any of its agents, employees, servants, representatives, consultants, contractors or subcontractors shall (i) alter
the Complex Site in any manner, (ii) construct any structures upon the Complex Site, (iii) excavate any portion of the Complex Site (unless

any activities by Owner or any of its agents, employees, servants, representatives, consultants, contractors or subcontractors. IT

MEDC’S LEGAL IMMUNITY AGAINST MECHANIC’S LIENS ON ITS COMPLEX SITE AND/OR ITS CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS
AGAINST MECHANIC’S LIENS ON ITS COMPLEX SITE, OR (2) BE CONSTRUED AS CONSTITUTING THE EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONSENT OR PERMISSION
OF MEDC FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY LABOR OR SERVICES FOR, OR THE FURNISHING OF ANY MATERIALS TO, OWNER THAT WOULD GIVE RISE TO ANY
SUCH MECHANIC’S LIEN AGAINST MEDC’S INTEREST IN THE COMPLEX SITE, MEDC OR ANY PROPERTY OF MEDC, OR IMPOSING ANY
LIABILITY ON MEDC FOR ANY LABOR OR MATERIALS FURNISHED TO OR TO BE FURNISHED TO OWNER UPON CREDIT.

in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured
Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured
Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
7.4.
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Debtor and shall inure to the

or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit
or the account of such Debtor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Secured Party or such Secured Party may elect, against and
on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Debtor to the Secured Party or such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every
nature and description of the Secured Party or such Secured Party against such Debtor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under
the Recognition Agreement, any other Development Documents or otherwise, as the Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party
has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Any Secured Party
on its behalf, shall notify such Debtor of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof; provided,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party
under this Section 7.5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such
Secured Party may have.

shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart

AND SALE AGREEMENT
THIS
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 19, 2026 (“Effective
Date”), by and between STORE CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”),
and SUNSET GROUND AT MCKINNEY LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Seller”). Except as otherwise expressly
defined herein, capitalized terms will have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference. For and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby mutually covenant
and agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I
purchase
of PROPERTY
Section
1.01. Agreement to Purchase. Purchaser agrees to purchase, and Seller agrees to sell, in accordance with the terms, conditions and
stipulations set forth in this Agreement (the “Transaction”), all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and
to the Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the Property expressly excludes the Vertical Improvements, which shall be retained and owned
by Seller.
Section
1.02. Purchase Price and Earnest Money. The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Property is $60,000,000.00 (the
“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser in immediately available federal funds at Closing.
Within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with the Title Company the sum of $1,000.00 as earnest
money (together with all interest earned thereon, the “Earnest Money”). In addition, Seller acknowledges receipt from
Purchaser of $100.00 as independent consideration for this Agreement (“Independent Consideration”), which Independent
Consideration is non-refundable under all circumstances. The Earnest Money shall be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing. If Purchaser
properly terminates this Agreement pursuant to its terms, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser defaults in
its obligation to consummate the Closing after all conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to close have been satisfied or waived,
the Earnest Money shall be delivered to Seller as provided in Section 6.02.
Section
1.03. Lease of Property. On or before the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall execute the Ground Lease Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C, with such modifications thereto as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by Purchaser and Seller (the
“Lease” or “Ground Lease Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser, as landlord, shall lease the
Property to Seller, as tenant, pursuant to the terms and conditions contained therein. The execution and delivery of the Lease by all
parties thereto shall be a condition precedent to Closing.
Section
1.04. Prorations. In view of the subsequent lease of the Property to Seller pursuant to the Lease and Seller’s obligations
thereunder, there shall be no proration of insurance, taxes, special assessments, utilities or any other costs related to the Property
between Seller and Purchaser at Closing. All real and personal property and other applicable taxes and assessments, utilities and any
other charges relating to the Property which are due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller at or prior
to Closing, and all other taxes and assessments shall be paid by Seller in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
Section
1.05. Transaction Costs. Subject to Section 6.02(a) below, whether or not the Transaction closes, (a) Seller shall be responsible
for the payment of all Transaction Costs incurred by Seller and Purchaser in connection with the Transaction; and (b) Seller and Purchaser

advisers (“Professional Fees”).

Section
1.06. Intent of Conveyance. The Parties acknowledge that the Project is currently under construction and that the purpose of this
Agreement is to allocate ownership between the Property and the Vertical Improvements without creating unintended fragmentation of ownership
of any integrated building, structure, foundation system, utility system, parking structure, retaining structure, drainage facility,
structural support system, or other improvement. The Parties intend that the ownership allocation described in this Agreement be interpreted
and enforced in a manner that preserves unified ownership and control of integrated improvements and avoids unintended severances arising
from variations in grade, elevation, topography, construction tolerances, survey discrepancies, future site development, or subsequent
modifications to the Project. The Parties further intend that no building, structure, utility system, foundation system, retaining structure,
parking structure, drainage facility, or other integrated improvement be divided into separately owned component parts except to the
extent expressly provided in the Transaction Documents. If any description, elevation reference, survey reference, exhibit, legal description,
boundary, or other provision of this Agreement is determined to conflict with the Parties’ intent concerning ownership of the Property
or the Vertical Improvements, the Parties’ intent shall control and such provision shall be interpreted, reformed, and enforced
accordingly. Any ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of preserving unified ownership and control of integrated improvements and against
creating unintended fragmented ownership interests.
The
provisions of this Article shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
ARTICLE
II
DUE DILIGENCE
Section
2.01. Title Insurance.
(a) Title
Commitment and Title Policy. Prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has received an owner’s title insurance commitment
(the “Title Commitment”) with respect to the Property issued by the Title Company, for a TLTA Owner’s Title
Insurance Policy, together with any endorsements, that Purchaser may require (the “Title Policy”). All costs related
to the Title Policy, escrow fees and other closing costs shall be included in Transaction Costs, payable as set forth in Section 1.05.
(b) Title
Company. The Title Company is hereby employed by the parties to act as escrow agent in connection with this Transaction. This
Agreement shall be used as instructions to the Title Company, as escrow agent, which may provide its standard conditions of acceptance
of escrow; provided, however, that in the event of any inconsistency between such standard conditions of acceptance and the terms
of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. The Title Company’s receipt of this Agreement and the opening of
an escrow pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute conclusive evidence of the Title Company’s agreement to be bound
by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pertaining to the Title Company.

STORE/Venu Holding Corporation
Purchase and Sale Agreement
The Sunset at McKinney – McKinney, TX
(c) Title
Company Actions. The Title Company is authorized to pay, from any funds held by it for each party’s respective credit,
all amounts necessary to procure the delivery of any documents and to pay, on behalf of Purchaser and Seller, all charges and obligations
payable by them hereunder, respectively. Seller and Purchaser will pay all charges payable by them to the Title Company. The Title Company
shall not cause the Transaction to close unless and until it has received written instructions from Purchaser and Seller to do so. The
Title Company is authorized, in the event any conflicting demand is made upon it concerning these instructions or the escrow, at its
election, to hold any documents and/or funds deposited hereunder until an action shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction
to determine the rights of Seller and Purchaser or to interplead such documents and/or funds in an action brought in any such court.
Deposit by the Title Company of such documents and funds, after deducting therefrom its reasonable charges, expenses and attorneys’
fees incurred in connection with any such court action, shall relieve the Title Company of all further liability and responsibility for
such documents and funds.
(d) Title
Objections.
(i) Prior
to the Effective Date, Purchaser received the Title Commitment and delivered its objections to Seller, which objections are hereby deemed
Title Objections for all purposes of this Agreement. On or before one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s objection to any exceptions or other matters shown on the Survey (each,
also a “Title Objection”). If any Title Objection is not removed or resolved by Seller to Purchaser’s satisfaction
prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then Purchaser shall have the option, as its sole remedy, upon written notice to Seller
on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, to terminate this Agreement, in which event neither party will have any further
obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination. Any termination right
under this Section 2.01(d)(i) not exercised on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period shall be deemed waived.
(ii) If
any supplement to the Title Commitment or the Survey discloses any additional title defects which were not created by or with the consent
of Purchaser, and which are not acceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of its objection thereto (each, an
“Additional Title Objection”) within five (5) days following receipt of such supplement or revision, but in no event
later than the Closing Date. If any Additional Title Objection is not removed or resolved to Purchaser’s satisfaction prior to
Closing, Purchaser shall have the option, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice delivered to Seller prior
to Closing, in which event neither party will have any further obligation or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly
stated to survive such termination. The Closing Date shall not be extended by reason of any Additional Title Objection or the timelines
set forth in this Section 2.01(d)(ii).
(iii) Purchaser’s
failure to timely deliver a Title Objection or an Additional Title Objection shall be deemed Purchaser’s acceptance of the matters
disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement by reason of any Title Objection or
Additional Title Objection, as provided in this Section 2.01, then such Title Objection or Additional Title Objection shall be deemed
waived and approved by Purchaser and shall thereafter be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance.
(iv) Seller
shall have no obligation to cure, remove, or resolve any Title Objection or Additional Title Objection. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything elsewhere in this Section 2.01 to the contrary, Seller shall, on or before Closing, cause the release, discharge or removal
from the Property of (A) all deeds of trust, mortgages, judgment liens and other voluntary monetary Liens created by, through or under
any Seller Entity, (B) all mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens and other construction-related Liens arising by, through
or under any Seller Entity, except, if elected by Seller, Purchaser hereby approves the bonding or other treatment thereof by Seller
in lieu of release, (C) the MEDC Deed of Trust, except to the extent Purchaser expressly approves in writing a replacement collateral
structure, (D) all leases, subleases and other possessory interests required to be terminated pursuant to this Agreement, and (E) any
title matter first created by, through or under Seller and dated after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s prior written consent.
The foregoing obligations shall not be subject to any limitation on Seller’s obligation to cure other Title Objections.
(v) If
Purchaser properly terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.01, Purchaser shall, upon Seller’s written request, deliver
to Seller copies of any third-party diligence reports relating exclusively to the physical condition of the Property for which Seller
paid as a Transaction Cost and shall assign to Seller any reliance rights relating thereto to the extent such rights are assignable without
material cost to Purchaser and without recourse, representation, warranty or continuing liability on the part of Purchaser. Purchaser
may retain copies of the Seller Documents and such reports for its records, legal compliance and defense of claims.

relating to the Aikman Club and firepit suites. Except as disclosed in the Article IV Documents, no such agreement has been modified
or waived, all Aikman Club memberships were sold pursuant to the form delivered to Purchaser without modification to the material membership
terms, and no Person has any right to use an Aikman Club seat or firepit suite other than pursuant to the Article IV Documents.
(d) No
Violations. The authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will
not (i) violate any provisions of the certificate of formation or other organizational documents of Seller, (ii) to Seller’s Knowledge,
result in a violation of or a conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which, with or without due notice or lapse of time,
or both, would constitute a default) under any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Seller Entity is a party or by which
any Seller Entity, the Property or any of the property of a Seller Entity are subject or bound, (iii) result in the creation or imposition
of any Lien, restriction, charge or limitation of any kind, upon Seller or the Property, or (iv) to Seller’s Knowledge, violate
any law, statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, code, rule or order of any court or Governmental Authority applicable to Seller or the
Property. Without limiting the foregoing, to Seller’s Knowledge, consummation of the Transaction and execution and performance
of the Lease will not violate the City Development Agreement, any Operator Agreement or any booking agreement, cause a default thereunder,
reduce or impair any incentive payable thereunder, or impose upon Purchaser any development, construction, operating, funding, reporting,
indemnity or other obligation of a Seller Entity.
(e) Compliance.
To Seller’s Knowledge, each Seller Entity’s construction, ownership, use, occupancy and operation of the Property and the
Vertical Improvements, and the condition thereof, comply in all material respects with (i) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules,
ordinances, codes, licenses, permits, orders and approvals of each Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property, including,

and conditions applicable to the Property, the Vertical Improvements or the ownership, construction, operation, use or possession thereof.

with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo, Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section
4.01(e), Seller, and to the best of Seller’s Knowledge, each of the Seller Entities is not currently identified on the OFAC List,
and is not a Person with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited from engaging in transactions by any trade embargo, economic
sanction, or other prohibition of United States law, regulation, or executive order of the President of the United States.
(g) Litigation.
There is no legal, administrative, arbitration or other proceeding, claim, investigation or action pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge,
threatened against any Seller Entity or affecting the Property, the Vertical Improvements, construction or operation of the Project,
any incentive payable under the City Development Agreement, any Operator Agreement, any booking agreement, or any Seller Entity’s
ability to execute, deliver or perform this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. No Seller Entity has received any written or
oral notice of any threatened claim or dispute involving any of the foregoing.
(h) No
Mechanic’s Liens or Encumbrances Covenant. Seller acknowledges that the filing of any mechanic’s or materialman’s
lien(s) or other encumbrances against the Property may impair Purchaser’s title, financing, sale, leasing, and/or Purchaser’s
other rights and duties relating to the Property. Accordingly, Seller represents, warrants and covenants to timely and properly satisfy
all financial obligations entered into by Seller to ensure there are no liens or encumbrances on the Property relating to and/or arising
from any amount owed by Seller for construction and improvements on the Property and the Vertical Improvements for materials, labor,
architectural services, engineering services, consulting and/or any other debts and/or financial obligation arising from and/or related
to the Project. Seller represents to Purchaser that other than what is disclosed in Schedule 4.01(h) attached hereto or the Title
Commitment, Seller has received no written notice of delinquent accounts due and payable, no constitutional or statutory mechanics’
liens and no claim to a mechanics’ lien in favor of any materialman, laborer, architect, engineer, surveyor, consultant or any
other person in connection with design, construction, labor, materials and/or services furnished to and/or performed in relation to construction
of improvements on the Property or the Vertical Improvements, which will not have been fully paid for or bonded around by Seller on or
before the Closing Date. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.01(h) attached hereto or the Title Commitment, no Seller Entity is
disputing, withholding or contesting any amount claimed to be due for labor, materials, equipment or services furnished in connection
with the Project, and no Seller Entity has bonded around or otherwise provided security for any disputed payment or Lien arising out
of the Project. Further, Seller represents, that to Seller’s Knowledge, there are no outstanding accounts payable or other rights
sufficient to claim a constitutional or statutory mechanics’ lien in favor of any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer,
architect, engineer, surveyor, consultant or any other person in connection with labor, materials, or services furnished to and/or performed
in relation to construction of improvements on any portion of the Property or the Vertical Improvements that will not be paid for in
full or bonded around on or before the Closing Date, or which might provide a basis for the filing of a lien or encumbrance on or against
the Property or any portion thereof. Other than what is disclosed in the Seller Documents and the ongoing performance of work related
to the Vertical Improvements, no work has been performed or is in progress, and no materials have been supplied, with respect to the
Property or the Vertical Improvements, and no agreements have been entered into for work to be performed or materials to be supplied
with respect thereto prior to the date hereof, which will not have been fully paid for or bonded around on or before the Closing Date
or which might provide the basis for the filing of liens against the Property or any portion thereof. Further, notwithstanding that any
applicable construction agreement may have been entered into by another Seller Entity, Seller covenants that it shall be solely responsible
for any and all claims for mechanics’ liens and accounts payable that have arisen or may subsequently arise as a result of agreements
entered into by any Seller Entity for work performed on, or materials supplied to, the Property or the Vertical Improvements. If any
mechanics’ lien, materialmen’s lien, constitutional lien or other construction-related Lien is filed before Closing, Seller
shall, on or before Closing, cause the same to be paid, released, discharged or bonded around in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser and
the Title Company and sufficient to remove the Lien as an exception from the Title Policy. Seller’s obligation under this sentence
shall not be subject to any notice or cure period.
FINANCIAL
CAPACITY AND PAYMENT COVENANT. Seller represents, warrants, and covenants that: (a) Seller and its applicable Affiliates presently
possess, and shall at all times during the construction of any improvements on the Property and/or on the Vertical Improvements, maintain
sufficient financial resources to timely pay all costs associated with the design, permitting, financing, construction, protection and
completion of such improvements; (b) Seller and its applicable Affiliates have established and shall maintain throughout construction
a budget reasonably sufficient to fully fund all labor, materials, equipment, professional services, financing costs, protection and
other expenses associated with improvements on the Property and the Vertical Improvements; (c) Seller shall not authorize, approve, incur,
or permit any change orders, cost overruns, scope increases, budget modifications, or other obligations that may ever impair Seller’s
or its applicable Affiliates’ ability to timely pay all persons furnishing labor, materials, equipment, financing, protection,
repairs, maintenance or other services with respect to the Property or the Vertical Improvements; and (d) Seller and its applicable Affiliates
have obtained, or will obtain financing and/or capital sufficient to satisfy all obligations relating to the improvements on the Property
and the Vertical Improvements, and Seller and its applicable Affiliates shall remain financially capable of satisfying all obligations
owed to any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, materialman, vendor, laborer, consultant, lender, architect, engineer, surveyor and/or
other party furnishing labor, materials, financing, equipment, or services of any kind with respect to the Property and/or the Vertical
Improvements.

If
at any time prior to Closing Purchaser reasonably believes that Seller has failed, or may fail, to timely pay any person or entity furnishing
labor, materials, equipment, financing, or services relating to the Property or the Vertical Improvements, or if Purchaser reasonably
believes that Seller’s financial condition may impair Seller’s ability to satisfy its obligations relating to the Property
or the Vertical Improvements, Purchaser may request reasonable evidence of Seller’s payment history, financial capacity, and ability
to satisfy its present and future obligations. Such information may include, without limitation, financial statements, bank statements,
construction budgets, sources-and-uses statements, lender commitments, construction schedules, draw schedules, lien waivers, sworn statements,
invoices, payment applications, proof of payment, lien releases, contractor and subcontractor payment reports, and such other documentation

request. Purchaser shall have no duty to review, verify, monitor, or investigate Seller’s financial condition, and Purchaser’s
receipt, review, or failure to request such information shall not waive any right or remedy of Purchaser or create any liability or obligation
on the part of Purchaser.

been made again at and as of the Closing Date, shall be true at and as of the Closing Date, and, together with the covenants made by
Seller herein, shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one (1) year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties

Date for a period of one (1) year (the “Bring-Down”) shall be deemed modified to the extent of any information actually
known to Purchaser as of the Closing Date, including any information disclosed in, or that is reasonably apparent from, (a) the Article

any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Section 4.01 to be inaccurate in any material respect as of the Closing Date,
Seller shall promptly deliver written notice thereof to Purchaser (each, a “Seller Update Notice”). Upon delivery
of a Seller Update Notice, Seller shall have five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing) to cure

to the extent of the matter disclosed in the Seller Update Notice, and the applicable representation or warranty shall be deemed modified
to reflect the disclosure contained in the Seller Update Notice for purposes of the Bring-Down at Closing. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this paragraph, the Closing Date shall not be extended by reason of any Seller Update Notice, Cure Period or Purchaser
response period under this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall relieve Seller of liability for any representation or warranty
that was false when originally made as of the Effective Date or for any breach caused by Seller’s intentional act or omission.

respect or if Seller or Purchaser renders any false statement relating thereto;

and exclusive remedy, one of the following remedies:
(a) The
non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the defaulting party and recover from the defaulting party

MISCELLANEOUS
Section
7.01. Transaction Characterization.
(a) The
parties intend that (i) all components of the Transaction shall be considered a single integrated transaction and shall not be severable;
and (ii) the Lease shall constitute a lease of all, but not less than all, of the Property.
(b) The
parties intend that the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser be an absolute conveyance in effect as well as form, and that the instruments
of conveyance to be delivered at Closing shall not serve or operate as a mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement,
trust conveyance or financing or trust arrangement of any kind, nor as a preference or fraudulent conveyance against any creditors of
Seller. After the execution and delivery of the Deed, Seller will have no legal or equitable interest or any other claim or interest
in the Property, other than the interests set forth in the Lease. The parties also intend for the Lease to be a true lease and not a
transaction creating a financing lease, capital lease, equitable mortgage, mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other financing
arrangement, and the economic realities of the Lease are those of a true lease. Notwithstanding the existence of the Lease, neither party
shall contest the validity, enforceability or characterization of the sale and purchase of the Property by Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement as an absolute conveyance, and both parties shall support the intent expressed herein that the purchase of the Property by
Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement provides for an absolute conveyance and does not create a joint venture, partnership, equitable
mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if, and to the extent that, any challenge occurs.
(c) Each
of the parties hereto agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Affiliate to, at any time, take any action or fail to take any
action with respect to the preparation or filing of any statement or disclosure to Governmental Authority, including without limitation,
any income tax return (including an amended income tax return), to the extent that such action or such failure to take action would be
inconsistent with the intention of the parties expressed in this Section 7.01.
Section
7.02. Risk of Loss.
(a) Condemnation.
If, prior to Closing, action is initiated to take the Property, the Vertical Improvements or any portion thereof, by eminent domain proceedings
or by deed in lieu thereof, Purchaser may elect at or prior to Closing, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event neither party
will have any further obligations or liability hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination,
or (ii) proceed to close, in which event all of Seller’s assignable right, title and interest in and to the award of the condemning
authority shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that
the treatment of any portion of such award attributable to the Vertical Improvements shall be governed by the Lease and the other applicable
Transaction Documents.
(b) Casualty.
Seller assumes all risks and liability for damage to or injury occurring to the Property or the Vertical Improvements by fire, storm,
accident, or any other casualty or cause prior to Closing. If the Property, the Vertical Improvements, or any part thereof suffers any
damage prior to Closing from fire or other casualty, which Seller, at its sole option, does not elect to fully repair, Purchaser may
elect at or prior to Closing, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event neither party will have any further obligations or liability
hereunder, except for those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination, or (ii) consummate the Closing, in which event
all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any insurance covering such damage (less an amount equal to
any expense and costs reasonably incurred by Seller to repair or restore the Property, which shall be payable to Seller upon Seller’s
delivery to Purchaser of satisfactory evidence thereof), to the extent that the amount of such insurance does not exceed the Purchase
Price, shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing, and Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of Seller’s deductible
at Closing. The treatment of insurance proceeds attributable to the Vertical Improvements shall be governed by the Lease and the other
Transaction Documents. From and after Closing, casualty and the application of insurance proceeds shall be governed by the Lease and
the other applicable Transaction Documents.

(c) Construction
Insurance and Bonding. Seller agrees and expressly covenants that Seller shall cause Purchaser to be added as an additional insured
under all of Seller’s insurance policies. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause the general contractor
for the Project (the “Prime Contractor”) to execute and deliver a conditional assignment of the general construction
contract for the Project (the “General Contract”) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and MEDC
(the “Conditional Assignment”); provided, however, that (i) any such Conditional Assignment or acknowledgement shall
be expressly subject to, and subordinate to, the ARDA, the City Recognition Agreement, and all applicable City Collateral Documents;
(ii) no such instrument shall be effective to transfer, pledge, encumber or impair any City Party’s rights in any project contracts,
revenues, proceeds, or related collateral; (iii) any such instrument shall become operative only upon Purchaser’s express written
assumption and only to the extent the General Contract is legally assignable and all required consents, including any required City Party
and MEDC consents have been obtained; and (iv) Seller shall not deliver any such instrument to the Prime Contractor or Purchaser until
Seller has confirmed in writing that all required consents under the ARDA, the City Recognition Agreement and the City Collateral Documents
have been obtained. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to negotiate the Conditional Assignment with the Prime Contractor;
provided, however, that obtaining the fully executed Conditional Assignment shall remain Seller’s obligation. Within thirty (30)
days after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause Purchaser to be named as an obligee/co-obligee under all construction payment and performance
bonds and shall cause all such construction payment and performance bonds to be filed of record in Collin County, Texas in conformance
with the Texas Property Code. Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.02(c) shall survive the Closing until fully performed.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser’s rights under the Conditional Assignment and the General Contract
shall be subject in all respects to the restrictions set forth in the City Recognition Agreement, including, without limitation the requirement
that Purchaser deliver a written Construction Election (as defined in the City Recognition Agreement), before exercising any right under
the Conditional Assignment to assume, direct, take over or complete construction of the Project under the General Contract. The foregoing
restriction applies continuously from the date of any notice of Owner Default or Event of Default (each as defined in the City Recognition
Agreement) through the expiration of all applicable cure periods, any Trigger Event, the duration of the Guarantor Cure Period and the
duration of any Standstill Period (each as defined in the City Recognition Agreement). In the event of any conflict between this Agreement
and the City Recognition Agreement with respect to Purchaser’s rights under the Conditional Assignment or the General Contract,
the City Recognition Agreement shall control. The City Parties and MEDC are express third-party beneficiaries of the covenants and obligations
of Purchaser set forth in Section 7.02(c), and shall have the right to directly enforce such provisions against Purchaser to the extent
necessary to protect their rights under the City Recognition Agreement, the Amended MEDC Deed of Trust, the ARDA and any Development
Document.
(d) Maintenance
of the Property and Insurance. From the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall continue to maintain, or cause the applicable
Seller Entity to maintain, the Property and the Vertical Improvements in good condition and repair, ordinary construction activities
and casualty excepted, and shall continue to maintain, or cause to be maintained, all insurance covering the Property and the Vertical
Improvements in the same or greater amounts, with the same or greater coverage, and subject to the same or lower deductibles as in existence
as of the Effective Date.
(e) Third-Party
Beneficiary. Purchaser’s rights as a third-party beneficiary of the General Contract shall be as set forth in the Conditional
Assignment. Purchaser shall not be deemed to assume, undertake or become liable for any duty, obligation, indebtedness, liability, default,
payment obligation or other responsibility of Seller under the General Contract unless and until expressly assumed by Purchaser in a
separate written instrument executed by Purchaser.

Upon any unconditional assignment of Purchaser’s entire right and interest hereunder to an Affiliate of Purchaser, Purchaser shall
automatically be relieved, from and after the date of such assignment, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Purchaser
contained herein. Seller shall not, nor shall Seller permit any Seller Entity to do any of the following without the prior written consent
of Purchaser, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion: sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, convey, encumber
or grant any easements or other rights or interests of any kind in the Property, the Vertical Improvements, any of Seller’s rights
under this Agreement or any interest in Seller, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in Seller Entity, whether voluntarily, involuntarily
or by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, by merger, consolidation, dissolution or otherwise. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no consent by Purchaser under this Section 7.04 shall authorize any transfer, encumbrance, or assignment that is prohibited
by or requires an unobtained consent under the ARDA, the City Recognition Agreement, or any City Collateral Document, and all required
City Party and MEDC consents shall remain necessary and shall not be satisfied by Purchaser’s consent alone.

Section
3.02. Personalty. During the Lease Term, subject to applicable Laws, Lessee may, at Lessee’s expense, place or install such
Personalty on the Property as may be needed for the conduct of Lessee’s business. All personalty that are fixtures shall be deemed
to be appurtenant to and part of the Property.
Section
3.03. Removal of Personalty. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Lessee shall surrender and deliver up the
Property and all Personalty to Lessor at the expiration or other termination of this Lease or of Lessee’s right to possession hereunder,
without fraud or delay (a) in same condition as exists on the Effective Date or on which construction is completed (as applicable), ordinary
wear and tear resulting from proper use thereof excepted, (b) in such operating condition as is capable of performing its originally
intended use, (c) having been used, operated, serviced and repaired in accordance with the terms of this Lease and the terms of manufacturer’s
instructions, and (d) free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and without any payment or allowance whatsoever by Lessor on account
of the improvements or any other improvements made by Lessee, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein. The improvements and
all other structures and improvements made by Lessee upon the Property and Lessee’s Personalty which cannot be removed without
causing damage to the improvements or the Property shall automatically become the property of Lessor upon such expiration or termination.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, within ten (10) days following the expiration or other termination of this Lease or of
Lessee’s right to possession hereunder, Lessee shall remove all or so much of Lessee’s personal property as specified by
Lessor from the Property. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid to Lessor the costs of repairing or restoring any injury or damage to
the Property arising from such removal so as to return the Property to the condition thereof that existed (or was required to exist)
immediately prior to such removal. Such costs shall be Additional Rental and shall be deemed due and payable as of the date on which
surrender by Lessee is required under this Lease. Any Personalty of Lessee which shall remain in or upon the Property after Lessee has
surrendered possession of the Property shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee, and at the option of Lessor, such property:
(a) shall be retained by Lessor as its property; (b) shall be disposed of by Lessor in such manner as Lessor shall determine, without
accountability to any person; or (c) shall be promptly removed by Lessee at Lessee’s expense upon written request from Lessor.
Lessor shall not be responsible for any loss or damage occurring to any property owned by Lessee. Notwithstanding such automatic vesting
of title, Lessee shall execute and deliver such appropriate deed or bill of sale in recordable form evidencing such title transfer at
Lessor’s request. If Lessee fails to surrender the Property upon the expiration or termination of this Lease in a timely manner
and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Lessor accruing therefrom, Lessee shall
defend, indemnify and hold Lessor, its principals, officers, directors, agents, and employees harmless from loss or liability resulting
from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, loss of rental with respect to any new lease in which
the rental payable thereunder exceeds the Rental collected by Lessor pursuant to this Lease during Lessee’s hold-over and any claims
by any proposed new Lessee founded on Lessee’s failure to surrender the Property. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Lease.
Section
3.04. Fee Estate and Leasehold Improvements. Throughout the Lease Term, Lessor is and shall remain the owner of the fee simple title
to the Property. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall have and enjoy a leasehold estate in the Property during the Lease
Term together with all rights reasonably necessary for the use, operation, occupancy, maintenance, repair, alteration, redevelopment
and enjoyment of the Property as contemplated herein.

Section
3.05. Ownership and Use of Improvements During Lease Term. During the Lease Term, Lessee shall have the exclusive right, at its sole
cost and expense and subject to the terms of this Lease, to possess, use, operate, maintain, repair, alter, replace, renovate, reconstruct
and improve the Vertical Improvements now or hereafter located upon the Property. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the
contrary, (i) Lessor shall at all times be the fee simple owner of the Land and all Horizontal Improvements located thereon, and (ii)
Lessee is and shall remain the fee simple owner of all Vertical Improvements located upon the Property throughout the Lease Term, subject
to Lessee’s obligation to convey the Vertical Improvements to Lessor upon expiration or termination of this Lease as described
in Section 3.07 (except upon a closing under the purchase option set forth in Exhibit E). Lessee’s fee simple ownership interest
in the Vertical Improvements constitutes a separate real property estate from Lessor’s fee simple ownership interest in the Land
and Horizontal Improvements. Lessee shall have the right, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to (a) cause the Vertical Improvements
to be assessed as a separate tax parcel from the Land and Horizontal Improvements, (b) subject both Lessee’s leasehold estate under
this Lease and Lessee’s fee simple ownership interest in the Vertical Improvements, collectively and not separately, to a Leasehold
Mortgage in accordance with Section 13.07, and (c) otherwise treat, operate, maintain, insure and account for the Vertical Improvements
as a separate estate, in each case without Lessor’s consent; provided, however, that no such action shall (x) create any
lien upon or encumbrance against Lessor’s fee estate in the Land or the Horizontal Improvements, (y) result in the transfer of
Lessee’s ownership interest in the Vertical Improvements separately from Lessee’s leasehold estate under this Lease, including
upon any foreclosure, deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other exercise of remedies under a Leasehold Mortgage, or (z) adversely
affect any Lender’s rights or security.
Section
3.06. Parties’ Intent Regarding Ownership Allocation. The Parties acknowledge that the Property and the Vertical Improvements
are currently under construction and that existing and future grades, elevations, and topography may vary across the Property and may
change from time to time. The purpose of this Lease is not to divide ownership solely upon the basis of a fixed horizontal elevation.
Instead, the Parties expressly intend that ownership of the Property, the Horizontal Improvements, the Vertical Improvements, and the
Tenant Interest be allocated in a manner that preserves unified ownership and control of integrated improvements and gives effect to
the ownership structure established by this Lease. This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced to avoid unintended fragmentation of
ownership of any structure, foundation system, utility system, parking structure, retaining structure, drainage facility, structural
support system, or other integrated improvement.
Section
3.07. Transfer of Improvements Upon Expiration or Termination. Except upon a closing under the purchase option set forth in Exhibit
E, upon the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier termination of this Lease: (a) all Horizontal Improvements then located upon
the Property shall remain the property of Lessor; and (b) Lessee shall execute any reasonable documentation, including without limitation
a special warranty deed, to confirm the conveyance by Lessee to Lessor of all Vertical Improvements then located upon the Property, without
payment of any consideration therefor, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and interests created by, through or under Lessee,
except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, the conveyance of Vertical Improvements described
in clause (b) shall occur automatically without the necessity of any further act by either party. At the time of such conveyance, the
Vertical Improvements shall be conveyed free and clear of all liens, security interests, deeds of trust, collateral assignments and other
encumbrances created by, through or under Lessee or any Recognized Mortgagee. Concurrently with any conveyance of the Vertical Improvements
to Lessor, Lessee shall also assign to Lessor all guaranties and warranties then in effect with respect to the Vertical Improvements,
if and only to the extent the same may be assigned or quitclaimed by Lessee without expense to Lessee. Upon such expiration or earlier
termination (other than by reason of a closing under Exhibit E), no Person shall retain any separate ownership interest in the Vertical
Improvements apart from ownership of the Property.

Section
3.08. No Compensation for Improvements. Except upon a closing under the purchase option set forth in Exhibit E, neither Lessee nor
any Person claiming through Lessee shall be entitled to receive any payment, reimbursement or compensation from Lessor by reason of the
expiration or termination of this Lease or the conveyance to or vesting in Lessor of any buildings, structures or improvements located
on the Property.
Section
3.09. Ownership Clarification. The Demising Elevation and any survey references contained in this Lease are intended as interpretive
aids and shall not override the Parties’ expressed ownership allocation. If any description, elevation reference, survey reference,
exhibit, legal description, or boundary is determined to conflict with the Parties’ intent concerning ownership of the Property,
the Horizontal Improvements, the Vertical Improvements, or the Tenant Interest, the Parties’ intent shall control and such description
shall be interpreted, reformed, and enforced accordingly. Any ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of preserving the ownership allocation
described in this Lease and against creating any unintended severances, gaps, overlaps, or fragmented ownership interests; provided,
however, that no reformation, reinterpretation, or modification of any legal description, elevation reference, survey reference, exhibit,
or boundary that effects or could affect the scope of MEDC’s lien or collateral interest in the Tenant Interest (as defined in
the Recognition Agreement) shall be effective without the prior written consent of MEDC, which may be withheld in MEDC’s sole and
absolute discretion.

IV
Rental and Other Monetary Obligations
Section
4.01. Base Monthly Rental. During the Lease Term, on or before the first day of each calendar month, Lessee shall pay in advance
the Base Monthly Rental then in effect. If the Effective Date is a date other than the first day of the month, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
on the Effective Date the Base Monthly Rental prorated by multiplying the Base Monthly Rental by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days remaining in the month (including the Effective Date) for which Rental is being paid, and the denominator of which
is the total number of days in such month.
Section
4.02. Adjustments. During the Lease Term, on the first Adjustment Date and on each Adjustment Date thereafter, the Base Annual Rental
shall increase by an amount equal to the Rental Adjustment; provided, however, that in no event shall Base Annual Rental be reduced
as a result of the application of the Rental Adjustment.
Section
4.03. Additional Rental. Lessee shall pay and discharge, as additional rental (“Additional Rental”), all sums
of money required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease which are not specifically referred to as Rental. Lessee shall pay and discharge
any Additional Rental when the same shall become due, provided that amounts which are billed to Lessor or any third party, but not to
Lessee, shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after Lessor’s demand for payment thereof or, if earlier, when the same are due.
In no event shall Lessee be required to pay to Lessor any item of Additional Rental that Lessee is obligated to pay and has paid to any
third party pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

Section
4.04. Rentals to be Net to Lessor. The Base Annual Rental payable hereunder shall be net to Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield
to Lessor the Rentals specified during the Lease Term, and all Costs and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever relating to
the Property shall be performed and paid by Lessee. Lessee shall perform all of its obligations under this Lease at its sole cost and
expense. All Rental and other Monetary Obligations which Lessee is required to pay hereunder shall be the unconditional obligation of
Lessee and shall be payable in full when due and payable, without notice or demand, and without any setoff, abatement, deferment, deduction
or counterclaim whatsoever.
Section
4.05. Payment of Rental. Lessee shall pay all Rental to Lessor by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that Lessor
shall have furnished to Lessee written wire transfer instructions and confirmed the same; or, in each case, by such other means of payment
as the parties may mutually agree in writing.
Section
4.06. Late Charges; Default Interest. Any delinquent payment shall, in addition to any other remedy of Lessor, incur a late charge
of five percent (5%) (which late charge is intended to compensate Lessor for the cost of handling and processing such delinquent payment
and should not be considered interest) and bear interest at the Default Rate, such interest to be computed from and including the date
such payment was due through and including the date of the payment; provided, however, in no event shall Lessee be obligated to
pay a sum of late charge and interest higher than the maximum legal rate then in effect.
Section
4.07. HOLDOVER. IF LESSEE REMAINS IN POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE TERM HEREOF, LESSEE, AT LESSOR’S OPTION
AND WITHIN LESSOR’S SOLE DISCRETION, MAY BE DEEMED A TENANT ON A MONTH-TO-MONTH BASIS AND SHALL CONTINUE TO PAY RENTALS AND OTHER
MONETARY OBLIGATIONS IN THE AMOUNTS HEREIN PROVIDED, EXCEPT THAT THE BASE MONTHLY RENTAL SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY INCREASED TO ONE HUNDRED
FIFTY PERCENT (150%) OF THE LAST BASE MONTHLY RENTAL PAYABLE UNDER THIS LEASE, AND LESSEE SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE;
PROVIDED THAT NOTHING HEREIN NOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF RENTAL BY LESSOR SHALL BE DEEMED A CONSENT TO SUCH HOLDING OVER. LESSEE SHALL
DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, PROTECT AND HOLD THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES RESULTING FROM LESSEE’S
FAILURE TO SURRENDER POSSESSION UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE LEASE TERM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS MADE BY ANY SUCCEEDING
LESSEE.
Section
4.08. Guaranty. On or before the execution of this Lease, Lessee shall cause Guarantor to execute and deliver to Lessor the Guaranty.
Section
4.09. Prepaid Rent.
(a)
Lessee has paid Lessor upon the delivery of this Lease the sum of $3,050,000 (the “Prepaid Rent”), being an amount
equal to six (6) months of Base Monthly Rental at the initial Base Annual Rental, as payment in advance of the first six (6) consecutive
monthly installments of Base Monthly Rental becoming due under Section 4.01 after the Effective Date (excluding any prorated installment
payable on the Effective Date under Section 4.01) (the period covered by such installments, the “Prepaid Rent Period”).
The Prepaid Rent shall be fully earned by Lessor upon receipt and shall not be refundable to Lessee or any Guarantor. Lessor shall not
be required to hold the Prepaid Rent in a separate account, and Lessee shall not be entitled to any interest on the Prepaid Rent.

(b)
On the due date of each installment of Base Monthly Rental during the Prepaid Rent Period, Lessor shall, without notice or demand, apply
one-sixth (1/6) of the Prepaid Rent to such installment, and each such installment shall be deemed paid in full when due for all purposes
of this Lease, the Guaranty, the Recognition Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents to the extent of the Prepaid Rent so applied,
and shall not be asserted by Lessor as unpaid or in default under this Lease, the Guaranty, the Recognition Agreement, or for purposes
of section 23.1.1 of the City Development Agreement. If any Adjustment Date occurs during the Prepaid Rent Period, the Prepaid Rent shall
be credited only against Base Monthly Rental at the initial Base Annual Rental, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on the due date of each
installment of Base Monthly Rental within the Prepaid Rent Period occurring on or after such Adjustment Date, the amount by which the
Base Monthly Rental then in effect exceeds the portion of the Prepaid Rent applied to such installment. Notwithstanding Section 12.02(h)
or any other provision of this Lease, Lessor shall not apply the Prepaid Rent to any obligation other than the installments of Base Monthly
Rental for the Prepaid Rent Period.
(c)
Sections 4.09(a) and (b) shall apply notwithstanding (i) any Insolvency Event affecting Lessee or any Guarantor, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, (ii) any vacation or abandonment of the Property by Lessee, (iii) whether or not Completion has occurred,
or (iv) the existence of any other default or Event of Default.
(d)
The first date on which a failure by Lessee to pay any Rental or other Monetary Obligation (other than any installment of Base Monthly
Rental, or portion thereof, satisfied by application of the Prepaid Rent pursuant to Section 4.09(b)) constitutes an Event of Default
under Section 12.01(b) or (c) is the “Payment Default Date.” From and after the Payment Default Date, such failure,
and each subsequent failure to pay Rental or any other Monetary Obligation, shall be governed by Section 4.10.
(e)
In case of a sale, assignment or other transfer of Lessor’s fee interest in the Land and the Horizontal Improvements and Lessor’s
interest as lessor under this Lease, or any cessation of Lessor’s interest therein, whether in whole or in part (each, a “Lessor
Transfer”), Lessor may pay over to the transferee the portion of the Prepaid Rent allocable to any then-unexpired portion of
the Prepaid Rent Period, and from and after such payment and such transferee’s written assumption of Lessor’s obligations
under this Section 4.09, Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect thereto. Any such transferee, and any Successor Lessor,
shall take and hold its interest subject to, and shall be bound by, all terms of this Section 4.09, and shall credit the Prepaid Rent
against the installments of Base Monthly Rental for any then-unexpired portion of the Prepaid Rent Period, whether or not such transferee
or Successor Lessor actually receives any portion of the Prepaid Rent. The provisions of this Section 4.09(e) shall apply to every subsequent
Lessor Transfer.

(f)
The Prepaid Rent shall not be deemed a security deposit or a limitation on or measure of Lessor’s damages, and, subject to Section
4.10, nothing in this Section 4.09 shall limit Lessor’s rights and remedies with respect to any failure to pay Rental or any other
Monetary Obligation not satisfied by application of the Prepaid Rent.
Section
4.10. Standstill Deposit.
(a)
Concurrently with the delivery of this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the sum of $3,050,000 (the “Standstill Deposit”),
being an amount equal to the sum of (i) six (6) months of Base Monthly Rental at the initial Base Annual Rental (i.e., $2,850,000), plus
(ii) six (6) months of Real Estate Taxes and premiums for the property insurance required to be maintained by Lessee under Section 6.03,
based on the most recent tax bills and insurance premiums available as of the Effective Date (i.e., $200,000). On each Adjustment Date,
Lessee shall deposit with Lessor such additional amount as is necessary so that the portion of the Standstill Deposit described in clause
(i) equals six (6) months of Base Monthly Rental then in effect. The Standstill Deposit is separate from, and in addition to, the Prepaid
Rent.
(b)
The Standstill Deposit is intended to be, and shall be, the same deposit referred to as the “Standstill Deposit” in the Recognition
Agreement, and the delivery of the Standstill Deposit under this Section 4.10 shall satisfy, and shall not be in addition to, any obligation
of Lessee, Venu Holding Corporation or any other Person to deliver the “Standstill Deposit” under the Recognition Agreement.
As used in this Lease, (i) “Standstill Period” has the meaning given to such term in the Recognition Agreement, and
(ii) “Standstill Obligations” means (A) any Rental or other Monetary Obligation the failure to pay which gave rise
to the Payment Default Date, to the extent remaining unpaid on the Payment Default Date, and (B) each installment of Base Monthly Rental,
Real Estate Taxes, premiums for the property insurance required under Section 6.03 and any other Monetary Obligation payable to Lessor
first becoming due during the Standstill Period, in each case to the extent not paid by Lessee when due. This Section 4.10 governs the
funding, holding, application and return of the Standstill Deposit as between Lessor, Lessee and each Guarantor, and in the event of
any conflict between this Section 4.10 and the Recognition Agreement with respect to such matters, this Section 4.10 shall control as
between Lessor, Lessee and each Guarantor; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.10 shall limit, modify or supersede any
right of the City Parties under the Recognition Agreement.
(c)
From and after the Payment Default Date, Lessor may, in its sole discretion, apply the Standstill Deposit to any Monetary Obligation
then due and owing under this Lease. During the Standstill Period, however, Lessor shall apply the Standstill Deposit to each Standstill
Obligation as provided herein. Lessor shall not draw upon the Standstill Deposit, or deliver to McKinney Economic Development Corporation
(“MEDC”) or any other City Party any notice of default, notice of a Trigger Event (as defined in the Recognition Agreement)
or the notice that commences the Standstill Period, before the Payment Default Date. If, following the Payment Default Date, Lessor intends
to exercise any remedy against Lessee, any Guarantor or the Tenant Interest, Lessor shall deliver to MEDC the written notice that commences
the Standstill Period under the Recognition Agreement, with a copy to Lessee and each Guarantor, within five (5) days after the Payment
Default Date, so that the Standstill Period commences promptly following the Payment Default Date, and Lessor shall not exercise any
such remedy (other than application of the Standstill Deposit as provided in this Section 4.10) before the Standstill Period has commenced
and the Standstill Deposit has been applied to the Standstill Obligations as required by this Section 4.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessor shall forbear from delivering the notice commencing the Standstill Period with respect to any Event of Default arising under Section
12.01(k) by reason of the Owner Default to which the Guarantor Cure Period applies; such forbearance shall continue during the Guarantor
Cure Period, for so long as (i) all monetary obligations under this Lease are continuously satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof
and (ii) all insurance requirements under this Lease are continuously satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that STORE
may discontinue such forbearance and deliver the notice commencing the Standstill Period upon any failure to satisfy either of the foregoing
conditions, and to the extent STORE discontinues such forbearance, the Guarantor Cure Period shall automatically terminate contemporaneously
as of the date and time of such STORE forbearance discontinuance as to the City Parties and DA Guarantors.

(d)
During the Standstill Period, Lessor shall apply the Standstill Deposit to each Standstill Obligation on its due date and, upon commencement
of the Standstill Period, to the Standstill Obligation described in clause (A) of Section 4.10(b), without notice or demand, and shall
promptly notify Lessee (with a copy to each Guarantor) of each application and the remaining balance of the Standstill Deposit. Each
Standstill Obligation satisfied in full by application of the Standstill Deposit shall be deemed paid when due and discharged in full
for all purposes of this Lease and the other Transaction Documents, shall not accrue a late charge or interest at the Default Rate under
Section 4.06, and shall not be asserted as a default or Event of Default under, or demanded from Lessee or any Guarantor pursuant to,
this Lease, the Guaranty or any other Transaction Document. Lessor shall not demand payment under the Guaranty of any Standstill Obligation
except to the extent the Standstill Deposit is insufficient to satisfy such Standstill Obligation, and Lessor shall have no right to
recover any Standstill Obligation from any City Party
(e)
During the Standstill Period, Lessor shall not terminate this Lease, exercise its reversionary interest in the Vertical Improvements
or take any other action that would extinguish the Tenant Interest, except as permitted by the Recognition Agreement. Notwithstanding
Section 12.02(h) or any other provision of this Lease, Lessor shall not set off, apply or retain the Standstill Deposit against any amount
other than Standstill Obligations. Lessor shall account for the Standstill Deposit separately from any Reserve under Section 6.04. During
the Guarantor Cure Period, Tenant shall have no right to access, withdraw, apply or otherwise use any portion of the Standstill Deposit
or any Prepaid Rent.
(f)
Any unapplied balance of the Standstill Deposit shall be returned to Lessee (or to such other Person that funded the Standstill Deposit,
as Lessee may direct in writing) within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) the issuance by the applicable governmental authority
of a temporary certificate of occupancy (or comparable approval) authorizing the occupancy and use of the Initial Improvements for their
intended purpose, and (ii) the release of MEDC’s lien on the Tenant Interest under the Recognition Agreement upon forgiveness,
payment, or satisfaction of the MEDC Note (as defined in the Recognition Agreement); provided, however, that if a Standstill Period is
then continuing, such return shall occur within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of such Standstill Period,
and Lessor may first apply such balance to any Standstill Obligation then due and unpaid; and provided further, however, that no portion
of the Standstill Deposit shall be required to be returned while any Event of Default is then continuing.
(g)
Lessee shall not be entitled to any interest on the Standstill Deposit except as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Standstill
Deposit shall not be deemed prepaid Rental or a limitation on or measure of Lessor’s damages. In the absence of evidence satisfactory
to Lessor of an assignment of the right to receive the Standstill Deposit, or the remaining balance thereof, Lessor may return the Standstill
Deposit to the original Lessee, regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease. Upon a Lessor Transfer, Lessor may pay over any
unapplied balance of the Standstill Deposit to the transferee, and from and after such payment and such transferee’s written assumption
of Lessor’s obligations under this Section 4.10, Lessor shall be relieved of all liability with respect thereto. Any such transferee,
and any Successor Lessor, shall take and hold its interest subject to, and shall be bound by, this Section 4.10, including the obligation
to apply the Standstill Deposit under Section 4.10(d), whether or not such transferee or Successor Lessor actually receives the Standstill
Deposit. The provisions of this Section 4.10(g) shall apply to every subsequent Lessor Transfer.
(h)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, Lessor shall not make any demand
upon, commence any action or proceeding against, or otherwise seek to recover any Rental or other Monetary Obligation from, any Guarantor
under the Guaranty unless and until (i) with respect to any installment of Base Monthly Rental for the Prepaid Rent Period, the Prepaid
Rent has been applied thereto in accordance with Section 4.09, and (ii) with respect to any Standstill Obligation, the Standstill Deposit
has been applied to such Standstill Obligation to the extent required by this Section 4.10. Lessor shall give each Guarantor written
notice of any deficiency remaining after the required application of the Prepaid Rent or Standstill Deposit, as applicable, together
with a reasonably detailed statement of the Monetary Obligations then remaining unpaid, and no Guarantor shall be required to make any
payment under the Guaranty earlier than ten (10 ) days after receipt of such notice. Any payment or performance by a Guarantor of any
obligation of Lessee shall be accepted by Lessor as if made by Lessee and shall cure the applicable default to the same extent. Satisfaction
of the Owner Default by J.W. Roth or Kevin O’Neil, as DA Guarantors under the City Development Agreement, shall cure the corresponding
Event of Default under Section 12.01(k) to the same extent as if performed by Lessee. This Section 4.10(h) is for the express benefit
of each Guarantor, may be enforced directly by each Guarantor, and shall be deemed incorporated into and to modify the Guaranty.
Section
4.11. Subordination to Development Agreement and Recognition Agreement. This Lease and all rights of the parties hereunder are, and
shall at all times be and remain, subject and subordinate to: (a) the City Development Agreement solely to the extent expressly provided
in the Recognition Agreement, and (b) the Recognition Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Lease and the Recognition
Agreement, the Recognition Agreement shall control to the extent expressly provided therein. This Section 4.11 is intended to preserve
the priority framework reflected in the Recognition Agreement, and not to permit the City Development Agreement to override the rights
and protections specifically negotiated by the parties in this Lease, including those set forth in Sections 4.09 and 4.10. This subordination
is self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required, provided that the parties shall execute and deliver such
additional instruments as the McKinney Economic Development Corporation may reasonably request to confirm this subordination of record.

Estate Taxes, upon Lessor’s written notification thereof, Lessee shall, within five (5) Business Days of such notice, provide funds
to Lessor in the amount of such deficiency. Lessor shall pay or cause to be paid directly to the applicable taxing authorities any Real
Estate Taxes then due and payable for which there are funds in the Reserve; provided, however, that in no event shall Lessor be obligated
to pay any Real Estate Taxes in excess of the funds held in the Reserve, and Lessee shall remain liable for any and all Real Estate Taxes,
including fines, penalties, interest or additional costs imposed by any taxing authority (unless incurred as a result of Lessor’s
failure to timely pay Real Estate Taxes for which it had funds in the Reserve). Lessee shall cooperate fully with Lessor in assuring
that the Real Estate Taxes are timely paid. Lessor may deposit all Reserve funds in accounts insured by any federal or state agency and
may commingle such funds with other funds and accounts of Lessor. Interest or other gains from such funds, if any, shall be the sole
property of Lessor. Upon an Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies, Lessor may apply all impounded funds in the Reserve
against any sums due from Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall give to Lessee an annual accounting showing all credits and debits to and from
such impounded funds received from Lessee.

Section
7.02. Alterations and Improvements.
(a)
Construction, Maintenance and Repair of Initial Improvements.
(i)
Lessee shall be solely responsible for the development, design and construction (the “Construction”) of the Initial
Improvements and to all repairs to, reconstruction of, maintenance to and construction of any additions to the improvements (herein collectively
called “Additional Construction Services”). Lessee shall construct the Initial Improvements and all Additional Construction
Services in a good and workmanlike manner in strict accordance with applicable law and the Contract Documents and in accordance with
Section 7.02(ii), free and clear of all mechanics’ liens, other liens and encumbrances of any kind. Lessee shall diligently pursue
such construction to completion and complete such construction on or before December 4, 2027 (the “Completion Date”).
For purposes of this Lease, “Completion” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the issuance by the applicable governmental
authority of a temporary certificate of occupancy (or comparable approval) authorizing the occupancy and use of the Initial Improvements
for their intended purpose, notwithstanding the existence of minor punch-list items or other incomplete work that does not prevent such
occupancy and use. The Initial Improvements shall be constructed by Lessee in accordance with the Contract Documents, Initial Improvements
Plans and Specifications, applicable law and all Requirements of Governmental Authority, without any encroachments on easements, public
land or adjacent land and in accordance with and without violating Applicable Requirements. Lessee shall timely obtain, maintain and
keep in full compliance, force and effect all consents, licenses, permits, certifications and approvals required to construct or complete
the Initial Improvements. On or before the Completion Date, Lessee shall have (i) obtained from each Governmental Authority, and, to
the extent required, from each beneficiary of each restrictive covenant, all licenses, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals
necessary for the occupancy and operation of the Initial Improvements for their intended purpose, and as of the Completion Date such
licenses, permits, authorizations, consents and approvals will be in full force and effect and will be assigned to or issued in the name
of Lessor, and (ii) delivered to Lessor an As-Built Survey satisfactory to Lessor, together with an additional endorsement to the Title
Policy (or a new Title Policy if required by the applicable jurisdiction) confirming that all of the Initial Improvements are within
the boundary lines of the Land, do not encroach upon any easements or rights-of-way and do not violate any setback lines or recorded
covenants, conditions or restrictions. On or before the date that is sixty (60) days after the Completion Date, Lessee shall provide
Lessor with copies of final unconditional lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors and/or other Persons
entitled to protection under applicable lien laws. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Lessee shall cause the General Contractor
to execute and deliver a conditional assignment of the General Contract in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor (the “Conditional
Assignment”). Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate in good faith to negotiate the Conditional Assignment with the General Contractor;
provided, however, that obtaining the fully executed Conditional Assignment shall remain Lessee’s obligation. Lessor’s rights
as a third-party beneficiary of the General Contract shall be as set forth in the Conditional Assignment, and Lessor shall not be deemed
to assume, undertake or become liable for any duty, obligation, indebtedness, liability, default, payment obligation or other responsibility
of Lessee under the General Contract unless and until expressly assumed by Lessor in a separate written instrument executed by Lessor.
(ii)
Lessee acknowledges that the filing of any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien(s) or other encumbrances against the Property
may impair Lessor’s title, financing, sale, leasing, and/or Lessor’s other rights and duties relating to the Property. Accordingly,
Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to timely and properly satisfy all financial obligations entered into by Lessee to ensure there
are no liens or encumbrances on the Property (including its improvements) relating to and/or arising from any amount owed by Lessee for
Construction, Additional Construction Services and improvements on the Property for materials, labor, architectural services, engineering
services, consulting and/or any other debts and/or financial obligation arising from and/or related to the Project. Lessee represents
to Lessor that there are no outstanding accounts payable, no constitutional or statutory mechanics’ liens and no rights to claim
a mechanics’ lien in favor of any materialman, laborer, architect, engineer, surveyor, consultant or any other person in connection
with design, construction labor, construction materials and/or other services furnished to and/or performed in relation to Construction
and Additional Construction Services on and/or to any portion of the Property, which will not be fully paid for by Lessee by the Completion
Date for Construction and/or within a prompt period of time from completion of any Additional Construction Services. Lessee will keep
the Property and all improvements thereto free of liens and encumbrances during the duration of the Lease. Further, Lessee covenants
that it shall be solely responsible for any and all claims for mechanics’ liens and accounts payable that have arisen or may ever
subsequently arise as a result of agreements entered into by Lessee for any Construction and Additional Construction Services performed.

(iii)
Lessee shall be solely responsible for investigating, hiring, training, paying, supervising and discharging all personnel required to
construct the Initial Improvements. Such personnel shall in every instance be deemed agents or employees, as the case may be, of Lessee
and not of Lessor, and all matters pertaining to the employment, supervision, compensation, promotion and discharge of such employees
or agents shall be the sole responsibility of Lessee. Lessee shall require any architects, engineers, contractors and subcontractors
engaged in connection with the construction of the Initial Improvements to perform their respective obligations under the terms of their
respective agreements, and to be licensed in accordance with State law.
(iv)
On or before the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, Lessee shall provide Lessor with an update of the status of construction of
the Initial Improvements, which shall include the percentage of the completed Initial Improvements, an updated construction schedule
that evidences that construction of the Initial Improvements will be completed by the Completion Date (and copies of relevant amendments
to the Contract Documents or other construction documents executed to cause the Initial Improvements to be completed on or before the
Completion Date), and confirmation that the actual costs required to complete the Initial Improvements do not, and will not, exceed the
Budget.
(v)
Lessee represents, warrants, and covenants that: (a) Lessee presently possesses, and shall at all times during the Construction of any
improvements on the Property and all design and Additional Construction Services, Lessee shall maintain sufficient financial resources
to timely pay all costs associated with the design, permitting, financing, construction, protection and completion of such improvements;
(b) Lessee has established and shall maintain throughout construction a budget reasonably sufficient to fully fund all labor, materials,
equipment, professional services, financing costs, protection and other expenses associated with the improvements; (c) Lessee shall not
authorize, approve, incur, or permit any change orders, cost overruns, scope increases, budget modifications, or other obligations that
may ever impair Lessee’s ability to timely pay all persons furnishing labor, materials, equipment, financing, protection, repairs,
maintenance or other services with respect to the Property; and (d) Lessee has obtained, or will obtain capital sufficient to satisfy
all obligations relating to the improvements and Lessee shall remain financially capable of satisfying all obligations owed to any contractor,
subcontractor, supplier, materialman, vendor, laborer, consultant, lender, architect, engineer, surveyor and/or other party furnishing
labor, materials, financing, equipment, or services of any kind to and/or for the Property. If at any time Lessor reasonably believes
that Lessee has failed, or may fail, to timely pay any person or entity furnishing labor, materials, equipment, financing, or services
relating to the Property, or if Lessor reasonably believes that Lessee’s financial condition may impair Lessee’s ability
to satisfy its obligations relating to the Property, Lessor may request reasonable evidence of Lessee’s payment history, financial
capacity, and ability to satisfy its present and future obligations. Such information may include, without limitation, financial statements,
bank statements, construction budgets, sources-and-uses statements, lender commitments, construction schedules, draw schedules, lien
waivers, sworn statements, invoices, payment applications, proof of payment, lien releases, contractor and subcontractor payment reports,
and such other documentation as Lessor may reasonably request. Lessee shall provide such documentation within five (5) business days
upon receipt of Lessor’s request. Lessor shall have no duty to review, verify, monitor, or investigate Lessee’s financial
condition, and Lessor’s receipt, review, or failure to request such information shall not waive any right or remedy of Lessor or
create any liability or obligation on the part of Lessor.

THE
ABOVE DUTY TO DEFEND SHALL ARISE IMMEDIATELY UPON THE ASSERTION OF ANY CLAIM DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION AND SHALL BE INDEPENDENT OF LESSEE’S
DUTY TO INDEMNIFY.
IF
LESSEE FAILS TO TIMELY DISCHARGE, RELEASE, REMOVE, OR BOND AROUND ANY SUCH CLAIM, LESSOR MAY, WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE AND WITHOUT ANY
OBLIGATION TO DO SO, PAY, SETTLE, COMPROMISE, DEFEND AGAINST, DISCHARGE, RELEASE, OR BOND AROUND SUCH CLAIM ON LESSEE’S BEHALF,

to alter the Vertical Improvements. Any alteration to the exterior, structural, plumbing or electrical elements of any Vertical Improvement,
or any alteration to the Property individually costing $150,000 or more, shall require the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lessee may undertake nonstructural alterations to the Vertical Improvements,
and alterations to the Property individually costing less than $75,000, without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessor may consider
environmental sustainability matters when providing consent to any alterations. If Lessor’s consent is required hereunder and Lessor
consents to the making of any such alterations, the same shall be made by Lessee at Lessee’s sole expense by a licensed contractor
and according to plans and specifications approved by Lessor and subject to such other conditions as Lessor shall reasonably require.
Any work at any time commenced by Lessee on the Property shall be prosecuted diligently to completion, shall be of good workmanship and
materials and shall comply fully with all the terms of this Lease and all Legal Requirements. Upon completion of any alterations individually
costing $75,000 or more, Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with evidence of full payment to all laborers and materialmen contributing
to the alterations. Additionally, upon completion of any such alterations, Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with (a) an architect’s
certificate certifying the alterations to have been completed in conformity with the plans and specifications (if the alterations are
of such a nature as would require the issuance of such a certificate from the architect); (b) a certificate of occupancy (if the alterations
are of such a nature as would require the issuance of a certificate of occupancy); and (c) any other documents or information reasonably
requested by Lessor. Lessee shall keep the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed on, or materials furnished
to, the Property. Lessee shall execute and file or record, as appropriate, a “Notice of Non-Responsibility,” or any equivalent
notice permitted under applicable Law in the state where the Property is located which provides that Lessor is not responsible for the
payment of any costs or expenses relating to the additions or alterations. Any addition or alteration to the Vertical Improvements shall
remain part of the Vertical Improvements and subject to Lessee’s fee simple ownership thereof during the Lease Term and to the
provisions of Section 3.07 regarding conveyance upon expiration or termination.

or observed by Lessee or such Affiliate under the City Development Agreement, the Recognition Agreement, the Operations Lease, any Operator
Agreement, any booking agreement, any agreement relating to a grant or incentive payable under the City Development Agreement, and any

Without
limiting the foregoing, Lessee shall not enter into or amend, or permit any enforcement action under, any collateral assignment or other
security arrangement affecting the Tenant Interest unless such arrangement provides that Lessee’s leasehold estate under this Lease
and Lessee’s ownership interest in the Vertical Improvements are appurtenant to and inseparable from one another and may not be
separately conveyed, assigned, transferred, pledged, mortgaged, encumbered, foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of. Any permitted foreclosure,
deed in lieu of foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other enforcement action affecting either component of the Tenant Interest
shall simultaneously affect both components and transfer both components to the same transferee, subject in all respects to Lessor’s
rights and approval requirements under this Lease and the Recognition Agreement.
Nothing
contained in this Section or elsewhere in this Lease shall cause Lessor to assume, or be deemed to have assumed, any development, design,
construction, completion, operation, maintenance, funding, reporting, repayment, reimbursement, recapture, indemnification or other obligation
of Lessee, any Affiliate of Lessee or any other Person under a Project Agreement, except to the extent Lessor expressly assumes a specifically
identified obligation in a written instrument executed by Lessor.
Any
grant, contribution, reimbursement, rebate, incentive or similar payment payable to “Owner” or any similar term under the
City Development Agreement or any other Project Agreement (each, an “Incentive Payment”), including without limitation
any ad valorem property tax rebate, sales and use tax rebate, ticket fee payment, parking incentive payment, infrastructure reimbursement
or other economic development incentive described in Article IX of the City Development Agreement, is intended to benefit Lessee and
shall be for the account of Lessee. If Lessor receives any Incentive Payment that is payable to or for the benefit of Lessee (including
by reason of Lessor’s fee ownership of the Property or any portion thereof), Lessor shall promptly remit such Incentive Payment
to Lessee, without deduction, offset or withholding of any kind. Lessor shall reasonably cooperate with Lessee in connection with Lessee’s
efforts to receive any Incentive Payment directly from the applicable City Party, including executing any documents, instruments or authorizations
reasonably required to ensure that Incentive Payments are paid directly to Lessee. Lessor shall have no right, title or interest in or
to any Incentive Payment except as provided in the Recognition Agreement or a separate written agreement between Lessor and the applicable
City Party, in either case exercisable following an Event of Default by Lessee under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease
to the contrary, any Incentive Payment received by Lessor shall not constitute Rental, Additional Rental or any other Monetary Obligation
owed by Lessee to Lessor, and Lessee shall have no obligation to pay, credit, assign or transfer any Incentive Payment to Lessor.
Section
9.07. Lessee Execution of Certain Agreements. Without Lessor’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld
in Lessor’s sole and absolute discretion, Lessee shall not execute any agreement that grants an ownership interest in, leasehold
interest in, or a lien on Lessor’s fee interest in the Property or the Horizontal Improvements, including, without limitation,
billboard and cellular tower leases; provided, however, that this Section 9.07 shall not prohibit Lessee from (a) entering into
agreements to monetize the garage, (b) granting a Leasehold Mortgage to a Recognized Mortgagee as permitted under Section 13.07, or (c)
granting a security interest in Lessee’s Personalty or equipment to an equipment lender as permitted under Section 13.08. Any agreement
permitted under this Section shall be entered into on commercially reasonable terms, shall remain subordinate to this Lease, each Leasehold
Mortgage (to the extent applicable to such agreement), the Recognition Agreement and the City Development Agreement, shall not create
any lien upon or encumbrance against Lessor’s fee estate in the Property or the Horizontal Improvements, and shall terminate upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease unless Lessor elects in writing to recognize or assume such agreement. No such agreement
shall create any direct contractual relationship with, or impose any monetary, maintenance, operational, indemnification or other obligation
or liability upon, Lessor unless expressly assumed by Lessor in writing.

Condemnation and Casualty
Section
11.01. Notification. Lessee shall promptly give Lessor written notice of (a) any Condemnation of the Property, (b) the commencement
of any proceedings or negotiations which might result in a Condemnation of the Property, and (c) any Casualty to the Property or any
part thereof. Such notice shall provide a general description of the nature and extent of such Condemnation, proceedings, negotiations
or Casualty, and shall include copies of any documents or notices received in connection therewith. Thereafter, Lessee shall promptly
send Lessor copies of all notices, correspondence and pleadings relating to any such Condemnation, proceedings, negotiations or Casualty.
Section
11.02. Total Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of all or substantially all of the Property, and if as a result of such
Condemnation: (i) access to the Property to and from the publicly dedicated roads adjacent to the Property as of the Effective Date is
permanently and materially impaired such that Lessee no longer has access to such dedicated road; (ii) there is insufficient parking
to operate the Property as a Permitted Facility under applicable Laws; or (iii) the Condemnation includes a portion of the building such
that the remaining portion is unsuitable for use as a Permitted Facility, as determined by Lessee in the exercise of good faith business
judgment (and Lessee provides to Lessor an officer’s certificate executed by an officer of Lessee certifying to the same) (each
such event, a “Total Condemnation”), then, in such event:
(a)
Termination of Lease. On the date of the Total Condemnation, all obligations of either party hereunder shall cease; provided,
however, that Lessee’s obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this Lease and Lessee’s
obligation to pay Rental and all other Monetary Obligations (whether payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease prior
to the date of termination shall survive such termination. If the date of such Total Condemnation is other than the first day of a month,
the Base Monthly Rental for the month in which such Total Condemnation occurs shall be apportioned based on the date of the Total Condemnation.
(b)
Net Award. Subject to Section 11.07 below, Lessor shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Net Award attributable
to Lessor’s fee estate in the Land, the Horizontal Improvements and Lessor’s reversionary interest, without deduction for
any estate vested in Lessee by this Lease. The portion of the Net Award attributable to the Tenant Interest (as defined in the Recognition
Agreement) shall be governed by the Recognition Agreement and the applicable City Collateral Documents, but only for so long as MEDC’s
lien on the Tenant Interest remains in effect and has not been terminated or released pursuant to the Recognition Agreement; provided
that no right of MEDC or any City Party shall attach to or impair the portion of the Net Award attributable to Lessor’s fee estate
in the Land, the Horizontal Improvements or Lessor’s reversionary interest.
Section
11.03. Partial Condemnation or Casualty. In the event of a Condemnation which is not a Total Condemnation (each such event, a “Partial
Condemnation”), or in the event of a Casualty:
(a)
Net Awards. All Net Awards shall be paid to Lessor for application in accordance with this Article XI; provided, however,
that the rights of MEDC and the City Parties shall apply solely to the portion of any Net Award attributable to the Tenant Interest (as
defined in the Recognition Agreement), only for so long as MEDC’s lien on the Tenant Interest remains in effect and has not been
terminated or released pursuant to the Recognition Agreement, and only to the extent expressly provided in the Recognition Agreement
and the applicable City Collateral Documents. No consent of MEDC or any City Party shall be required with respect to the application,
retention or disbursement of the portion of any Net Award attributable to Lessor’s fee estate in the Land, the Horizontal Improvements
or Lessor’s reversionary interest.

(b)
Continuance of Lease. This Lease shall continue in full force and effect upon the following terms:
(i)
All Rental and other Monetary Obligations due under this Lease shall continue unabated.
(ii)
Lessee shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute restoration of the Property to the same condition, as nearly as practicable,
as prior to the Partial Condemnation or Casualty as approved by Lessor. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and upon
the written request of Lessee (accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that such amount has been paid or is due and
payable and is properly part of such costs, and that Lessee has complied with the terms of Section 7.02 in connection with the restoration),
Lessor shall promptly make available in installments, subject to reasonable conditions for disbursement imposed by Lessor, an amount
up to but not exceeding the amount of any Net Award received by Lessor with respect to such Partial Condemnation or Casualty. Prior to
the disbursement of any portion of the Net Award with respect to a Casualty, Lessee shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor of the payment of restoration expenses by Lessee up to the amount of the insurance deductible applicable to such Casualty. Lessor
shall be entitled to keep any portion of the Net Award which may be in excess of the cost of restoration, and Lessee shall bear all additional
Costs of such restoration in excess of the Net Award.
Section
11.04. Temporary Taking. In the event of a Condemnation of all or any part of the Property for a temporary use (a “Temporary
Taking”), this Lease shall remain in full force and effect without any reduction of Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental or
any other Monetary Obligation payable hereunder. Except as provided below, Lessee shall be entitled to the entire Net Award for a Temporary
Taking, unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning authorities shall extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease,
in which event the Net Award made for such Temporary Taking shall be apportioned between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of such expiration.
At the termination of any such Temporary Taking, Lessee will, at its own cost and expense and pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.02,
promptly commence and complete restoration of the Property.
Section
11.05. Adjustment of Losses. Any loss under any property damage insurance required to be maintained by Lessee shall be adjusted by
Lessor and Lessee. Any Net Award relating to a Total Condemnation or a Partial Condemnation shall be adjusted by Lessor or, at Lessor’s
election, Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Section 11.05 to the contrary, if at the time of any
Condemnation or any Casualty or at any time thereafter an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor is hereby authorized
and empowered but shall not be obligated, in the name and on behalf of Lessee and otherwise, to file and prosecute Lessee’s claim,
if any, for a Net Award on account of such Condemnation or such Casualty and to collect such Net Award and apply the same to the curing
of such Event of Default and any other then existing Event of Default under this Lease and/or to the payment of any amounts owed by Lessee
to Lessor under this Lease, in such order, priority and proportions as Lessor in its discretion shall deem proper; provided, however,
that the rights of MEDC and the City Parties shall apply solely to the portion of any Net Award attributable to the Tenant Interest (as
defined in the Recognition Agreement), only for so long as MEDC’s lien on the Tenant Interest remains in effect and has not been
terminated or released pursuant to the Recognition Agreement, and only to the extent expressly provided in the Recognition Agreement
and the applicable City Collateral Documents; and provided further that no consent of MEDC or any City Party shall be required for Lessor
to apply or retain the portion of any Net Award attributable to Lessor’s fee estate in the Land, the Horizontal Improvements or
Lessor’s reversionary interest.

11.06. Lessee Obligation in Event of Casualty. During all periods of time following a Casualty, Lessee shall take reasonable steps
to ensure that the Property is secure and does not pose any risk of harm to any adjoining property and Persons (including owners or occupants
of such adjoining property).
Section
11.07. Lessee Awards and Payments. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Article XI, Lessee shall be entitled to claim
and receive any award or payment from the condemning authority expressly granted for the taking of any personal property owned by Lessee,
any insurance proceeds with respect to any personal property owned by Lessee, the interruption of its business and moving expenses (subject,
however, to the provisions of Section 6.03(a)(v) above), but only if such claim or award does not adversely affect or interfere with
the prosecution of Lessor’s claim for the Condemnation or Casualty, or otherwise reduce the amount recoverable by Lessor for the
Condemnation or Casualty.

Default, Conditional Limitations,
Remedies and Measure of Damages
Section
12.01. Event of Default. Each of the following shall be an event of default by Lessee under this Lease (each, an “Event
of Default”):
(a)
if any representation or warranty of Lessee set forth in this Lease is false in any material respect when made, or if Lessee renders
any materially false statement or account when made;
(b)
if any Rental or other Monetary Obligation due under this Lease is not paid within three (3) days after the date when due; provided,
however, that Lessee shall be entitled to such three (3)-day cure period no more than two (2) times in any calendar year, and any subsequent
failure to pay any Rental or other Monetary Obligation when due during such calendar year shall constitute an Event of Default without
any cure period; provided further, however, any delay in the payment of Rental as a result of a technical error in the wiring and/or
automated clearinghouse process shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder so long as the same is corrected within one (1) Business
Day of the date Lessee receives notice thereof;
(c)
if Lessee fails to pay, prior to delinquency, any taxes, assessments or other charges the failure of which to pay will result in the
imposition of a lien against the Property;
(d)
if Lessee vacates or abandons the Property;
(e)
if there is an Insolvency Event affecting Lessee or the Guarantor;

(f)
if Lessee fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or obligations of Lessee in this Lease; provided, however,
if any such failure does not involve the payment of any Monetary Obligation, is not willful or intentional, does not place the Property
or any rights or property of Lessor in immediate jeopardy, and is within the reasonable power of Lessee to promptly cure, all as determined
by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless otherwise expressly
provided herein, unless and until Lessor shall have given Lessee notice thereof and a period of thirty (30) days shall have elapsed,
during which period Lessee may correct or cure such failure, upon failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred
hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required. If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty
(30)-day period, as determined by Lessor in its reasonable discretion, and Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then
Lessee shall have a reasonable period to cure such failure beyond such thirty (30)-day period, which shall in no event exceed ninety
(90) days after receiving notice of such failure from Lessor. If Lessee shall fail to correct or cure such failure within such ninety
(90)-day period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required;
(g)
if a final, nonappealable judgment is rendered by a court against Lessee which has a Material Adverse Effect, and is not discharged or
provision made for such discharge within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof;
(h)
if Lessee shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution;
(i)
if the estate or interest of Lessee in the Property shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is
about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within ninety (90) days after it is made;
(j)
if there is an “Event of Default” or other breach or default by Lessee or Guarantor under any of the other Transaction Documents
or any Other Agreement between Lessor and Lessee or their respective Affiliates, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure
or grace periods; provided, however, in the event that this Lease has been the subject of a Securitization and any Other Agreement
has not been the subject of the same Securitization or any series relating to such Securitization, an “Event of Default”
under such Other Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Lease;
(k)
if Lessee or any other party causes an “Owner Default” (as defined in the City Development Agreement) to occur under the
City Development Agreement; provided that, with respect to the Owner Default to which the Guarantor Cure Period (as defined in the City
Development Agreement) applies, Lessor shall forbear from delivering the notice commencing the Standstill Period with respect to the
corresponding Event of Default under this clause (k) during such Guarantor Cure Period, and such Event of Default shall be deemed cured
upon timely satisfaction of the Owner Default;

if a “Default” (as defined in the Operations Lease) occurs under the Operations Lease.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the rights of the City Parties and MEDC with respect to notices, cure rights, standstill rights and
enforcement of remedies shall be governed exclusively by the Recognition Agreement. The foregoing limitation on Lessor’s rights
with respect to City Parties and MEDC applies equally to the exercise of all remedies set forth in Section 12.02, and no remedy under
Section 12.01, including without limitation termination of this Lease, re-entry, receiver appointment, or acceleration of rent, may be
exercised against the Tenant Interest or the Vertical Improvements unless and until all applicable notice, cure, standstill, and approval
conditions under the Recognition Agreement have been fully satisfied.
Section
12.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or such other notice as may be required by statute and cannot be waived by Lessee, and subject to Sections 4.09 and 4.10, Lessor
shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, concurrently, successively, or in any combination, all remedies available at Law or in
equity, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following; provided, however, that with respect to any failure to pay Rental
or any other Monetary Obligation, Lessor shall not exercise any remedy under this Lease or the Guaranty before the Payment Default Date,
and Lessor shall not exercise any remedy under the Guaranty except as permitted by Section 4.10(h), and, during any applicable Guarantor
Cure Period, Lessor shall not exercise any remedy solely with respect to an Event of Default under Section 12.01(k) arising from the
applicable Owner Default while the Lessor forbearance described herein remains in effect; provided that nothing herein shall limit Lessor’s
rights or remedies with respect to any other Event of Default under this Lease:
(a)
to terminate this Lease, whereupon Lessee’s right to possession of the Property shall cease and this Lease, except as to Lessee’s
liability, shall be terminated;
(b)
to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, to (i) re-enter and take possession of the Property (or any part thereof), any or all
Personalty of Lessee upon the Property and, to the extent permissible, permits and other rights or privileges of Lessee pertaining to
the use and operation of the Property, and (ii) expel Lessee and those claiming under or through Lessee, without being deemed guilty
in any manner of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, without resort to legal or judicial process,
procedure or action. No notice from Lessor hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar Law shall constitute an
election by Lessor to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. If Lessee shall, after default, voluntarily give
up possession of the Property to Lessor, deliver to Lessor or its agents the keys to the Property, or both, such actions shall be deemed
to be in compliance with Lessor’s rights and the acceptance thereof by Lessor or its agents shall not be deemed to constitute a
termination of the Lease. Lessor reserves the right following any re-entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease
by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate;
(c)
to bring an action against Lessee for any damages sustained by Lessor or any equitable relief available to Lessor;

(d)
to relet the Property or any part thereof for such term or terms (including a term which extends beyond the original Lease Term), at
such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may determine, with all proceeds received from such reletting
being applied to the Rental and other Monetary Obligations due from Lessee in such order as Lessor may, in its sole discretion, determine,
which other Monetary Obligations include, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and
expenses, alteration, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparing for such reletting. Except to the extent required by applicable
Law, Lessor shall have no obligation to relet the Property or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure
to relet the Property or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon
such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Lessee of any liability under this Lease or otherwise to affect
any such liability. Lessor reserves the right following any re-entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by
giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice;
(e)
except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law, to accelerate and recover from Lessee all Rental and other Monetary Obligations due
and owing and scheduled to become due and owing under this Lease both before and after the date of such breach for the entire original
scheduled Lease Term;
(f)
to recover from Lessee all Costs paid or incurred by Lessor as a result of such breach, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings
are actually commenced;

this Lease, and no delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall
impair any other or subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto. Every power and remedy given by
this Section or by Law to Lessor may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by Lessor, subject at all

Mortgage, Subordination and Attornment
Section
13.01. No Liens on Lessor’s Fee Interest. Lessor’s fee interest in the Property shall not be subordinate to any liens
or encumbrances placed upon the Property by or resulting from any act of Lessee, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to require
such subordination by Lessor. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LESSEE IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE OR ALLOW TO BE PLACED ANY LIEN, MORTGAGE,
DEED OF TRUST, DEED TO SECURE DEBT, SECURITY INTEREST OR ENCUMBRANCE OF ANY KIND UPON LESSOR’S FEE INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY OR
THE HORIZONTAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND ANY SUCH PURPORTED TRANSACTION SHALL BE VOID. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right
to encumber the Tenant Interest, consisting collectively of Lessee’s leasehold interest under this Lease and Lessee’s ownership
interest in the Vertical Improvements, but only as a single integrated interest and as expressly permitted under Section 13.07
below.

Section
13.02. Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to the lien of any Mortgage now or hereafter placed upon the Property by Lessor;
provided, however, that such subordination shall not be effective unless and until the holder of such Mortgage delivers to Lessee a Subordination,
Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) in a commercially reasonable form, which SNDA shall provide that
(a) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessee’s possession and rights under this Lease (including Lessee’s
ownership of the Vertical Improvements) shall not be disturbed by reason of any foreclosure or other enforcement of such Mortgage, and
(b) upon foreclosure or transfer in lieu thereof, the successor to Lessor’s interest shall recognize this Lease and Lessee’s
rights hereunder, including without limitation Lessee’s ownership of the Vertical Improvements and the purchase option set forth
in Exhibit E. Lessee shall execute and deliver any SNDA that complies with the foregoing requirements within fifteen (15) days following
Lessor’s request.
Section
13.03. Attornment. In the event any purchaser or assignee of any Lender at a foreclosure sale acquires title to the Property, or
in the event that any Lender or any purchaser or assignee otherwise succeeds to the rights of Lessor as landlord under this Lease, Lessee
shall attorn to Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be (a “Successor Lessor”), and recognize the
Successor Lessor as lessor under this Lease, and, subject to the provisions of this Article XIII, this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Lessor and Lessee, provided that the Successor Lessor shall only be liable for any
obligations of Lessor under this Lease which accrue after the date that such Successor Lessor acquires title. The foregoing provision
shall be self-operative and effective without the execution of any further instruments.
Section
13.04. Execution of Additional Documents. Although the provisions in this Article XIII shall be self-operative and no future instrument
of subordination shall be required, upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall execute and deliver such additional reasonable instruments as
may be reasonably required for such purposes.
Section
13.05. Notice to Lender. Lessee shall give written notice to any Lender having a recorded lien upon the Property or any part thereof
of which Lessee has been notified of any breach or default by Lessor of any of its obligations under this Lease and give such Lender
at least sixty (60) days beyond any notice period to which Lessor might be entitled to cure such default before Lessee may exercise any
remedy with respect thereto.
Section
13.06. Waiver of Landlord’s Lien; Lessee’s Personal Property. Lessor agrees that none of the property, including food,
supplies, merchandise, inventory, furniture, trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, cash, or any proceeds from such property (but excluding
any property owned by Lessor, any property constituting or incorporated into the Land, Horizontal Improvements or Vertical Improvements,
and any property subject to Lessor’s reversionary interest under this Lease), that is located upon the Property, whether owned
by Lessee or third parties, is subject to a contractual landlord’s lien or any other liens created in favor of Lessor pursuant
to Law for the collection of Rental. All property subject to the foregoing waiver shall remain under the possession and control of Lessee
during the Lease Term and may be removed by Lessee from time to time during the Lease Term and, subject to Sections 3.04 and 3.06, following
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; provided that no removal may materially damage the Property, interfere with the
operation of the Property as a Permitted Facility, or create or exacerbate an emergency or condition posing an imminent threat to life
safety. Upon Lessee’s request, Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver a commercially reasonable
instrument evidencing the foregoing waiver to a bank, other lending institution or third party, provided that such instrument is in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor and any applicable Lender and does not expand the scope of the waiver set forth in this
Section. For the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion of any item within the definition of Personalty shall not cause such item to be subject
to the waiver set forth in this Section if such item is otherwise within an express exclusion from such waiver.

Section
13.07. Leasehold Mortgages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease except for Section 9.08, Lessee shall have the
right, without Lessor’s consent but upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessor, to mortgage, pledge
or otherwise encumber the Tenant Interest to a Recognized Mortgagee pursuant to a mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument
encumbering the Tenant Interest (a “Leasehold Mortgage”), subject to the conditions set forth in this Section. The
Tenant Interest shall constitute a single integrated property interest consisting of both Lessee’s leasehold estate under this
Lease and Lessee’s fee simple ownership interest in the Vertical Improvements. Each Leasehold Mortgage shall at all times encumber
both components of the Tenant Interest, and neither component may be separately mortgaged, pledged, encumbered, foreclosed upon, assigned
in lieu of foreclosure, transferred through enforcement or otherwise disposed of apart from the other. Any foreclosure, deed or assignment
in lieu of foreclosure, transfer through enforcement or other exercise of remedies affecting either component of the Tenant Interest
shall simultaneously affect both components and transfer both components to the same transferee.
(a)
No Leasehold Mortgage shall extend to or encumber Lessor’s fee interest in the Property or the Horizontal Improvements.
(b)
The holder of any Leasehold Mortgage (a “Recognized Mortgagee”) shall be an institutional lender, including without
limitation any bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, pension fund, or other institutional investor, or a C-PACE lender
specifically approved in writing by Lessor pursuant to Section 9.08.
(c)
Any Recognized Mortgagee, as a condition to acquiring the Tenant Interest through foreclosure or a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure,
shall assume in writing all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease arising from and after such acquisition.
(d)
Lessor shall deliver to each Recognized Mortgagee that has been identified to Lessor in a written notice delivered by Lessee pursuant
to this Section 13.07 a copy of any notice of default delivered to Lessee. A Recognized Mortgagee shall have thirty (30) days after receipt
of such notice to cure a monetary default and sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice to cure a nonmonetary default; provided, however,
that no additional cure period shall apply to any default arising from (i) an Insolvency Event; (ii) an unauthorized transfer or encumbrance;
(iii) the loss or lapse of required insurance, unless such loss or lapse is capable of being cured by the payment of premiums or the
procurement of replacement coverage and the Recognized Mortgagee cures such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of Lessor’s
notice; (iv) a lien, encumbrance or other threat against Lessor’s fee estate; (v) an emergency or condition posing an imminent
threat to life safety; (vi) abandonment of the Property; (vii) a default that is not susceptible to cure by payment or performance; or
(viii) a default under the City Development Agreement, Recognition Agreement, Operations Lease or Operator Agreement requiring action
before expiration of the otherwise applicable cure period.

Upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (other than pursuant to a closing under Exhibit E), any Leasehold Mortgage and any
lien, security interest, deed of trust, collateral assignment or other encumbrance affecting the Tenant Interest shall automatically
cease to attach to the Vertical Improvements upon conveyance of the Vertical Improvements to Lessor pursuant to Section 3.07. Lessee
and each Recognized Mortgagee shall promptly execute, deliver and record such releases, partial releases, lien waivers, termination statements,
assignments, satisfactions and other instruments as Lessor may reasonably request in order to evidence the termination and release of
any such encumbrance from the Vertical Improvements and to provide Lessor with clear and marketable title thereto. This obligation shall
survive expiration or termination of this Lease.
Notwithstanding
any provision hereof to the contrary, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Section 13.07 and the terms of Section
9.08, the terms of Section 9.08 shall control with respect to such inconsistency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transfer of the
Tenant Interest pursuant to the Lease Assignment in Lieu (as defined in the Recognition Agreement) shall be deemed a permitted transfer
hereunder, provided that the transferee assumes all obligations required under the Recognition Agreement and this Lease.
Section
13.08. Subordination of Landlord’s Lien to Equipment Financing. Lessee may obtain equipment financing without Lessor’s
approval. Upon Lessee’s request, Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver a commercially reasonable
landlord’s waiver, consent and subordination agreement in favor of the applicable equipment lender, provided that such agreement
is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor and any applicable Lender. No such agreement shall apply to (a) the Land or
Horizontal Improvements; (b) structural components, building systems, replacements or fixtures constituting part of the Horizontal Improvements;
(c) property owned by Lessor or subject to Lessor’s reversionary interest; (d) property subject to the Recognition Agreement, any
approved collateral assignment, MEDC collateral rights or another approved security arrangement; or (e) any property whose removal could
materially damage the Property, materially impair the operation of the Property as a Permitted Facility or create or exacerbate an emergency
or condition posing an imminent threat to life safety. The equipment lender shall remove its collateral within thirty (30) days after
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or such longer period as Lessor may reasonably approve, repair all damage resulting
from such removal, and restore the affected portions of the Property to substantially the condition existing immediately before such
removal. After expiration of the removal period, Lessor may remove, store, retain or dispose of the remaining collateral without liability,
subject to applicable Law. Any such agreement shall remain subordinate to any Mortgage. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for its reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in reviewing and executing any such agreement.

Assignment
Section
14.01. Assignment by Lessor. As a material inducement to Lessor’s willingness to enter into the transactions contemplated by
this Lease (the “Transaction”) and the other Transaction Documents, Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor may, from time
to time and at any time and without the consent of Lessee, engage in all or any combination of the following, or enter into agreements
in connection with any of the following or in accordance with requirements that may be imposed by applicable securities, tax or other
Laws: (a) the sale, assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, financing, re-financing, purchase or re-acquisition of the Property, this
Lease or any other Transaction Document, Lessor’s right, title and interest in this Lease or any other Transaction Document, the
servicing rights with respect to any of the foregoing, or participations in any of the foregoing; or (b) a Securitization and related
transactions. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that Lessor, in its sole discretion, may assign
this Lease or any interest herein to another Person in order to maintain Lessor’s or any of its Affiliates’ status as a REIT.
In the event of any such sale or assignment other than a security assignment, Lessee shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee (so long
as Lessor and such purchaser or assignee notify Lessee in writing of such transfer and such purchaser or assignee expressly assumes in
writing the obligations of Lessor hereunder from and after the date of such assignment). At the request of Lessor, Lessee will execute
such documents confirming the sale, assignment or other transfer and such other agreements as Lessor may reasonably request, provided
that the same do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Lessee hereunder. Lessor shall be relieved, from and after the date
of such transfer or conveyance, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations
or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale.

Section
14.02. Assignment by Lessee.
(a)
Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee may, without Lessor’s consent
but upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessor, assign this Lease or any interest herein to:
(i)
any Affiliate of Lessee that remains controlled by Venu Holding Corporation within the meaning of the definition of Affiliate, provided
that Lessee and each Guarantor remain liable for all obligations under this Lease and the Guaranty; or
(ii)
any Recognized Mortgagee that acquires the Tenant Interest through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure
of a Leasehold Mortgage, or any designee, nominee or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, in each case approved in writing by Lessor, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Any
permitted transfer shall simultaneously transfer to the same transferee both Lessee’s leasehold estate under this Lease and Lessee’s
ownership interest in the Vertical Improvements, and no permitted transfer may result in the separation of such interests. As conditions
to each permitted transfer under this Section 14.02(a), (A) the transferee shall assume in writing all obligations of Lessee under this
Lease and all applicable obligations relating to the City Development Agreement, Recognition Agreement, Operations Lease, Operator Agreement
and approved operator structure; (B) the transfer shall not impair or release the Guaranty; (C) the approved operator structure shall
remain in place; (D) all approvals required under the City Development Agreement and Recognition Agreement shall have been obtained;
and (E) the transfer shall comply with all applicable requirements of each Lender.
(b)
Other Transfers. For any assignment not permitted under Section 14.02(a), Lessee shall not assign this Lease without the
prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In determining whether to
grant or withhold consent, Lessor may consider: (i) the proposed assignee’s financial condition, creditworthiness, and net worth;
(ii) the proposed assignee’s experience in owning and operating properties similar to the Property; (iii) the proposed assignee’s
reputation and character; (iv) the proposed assignee’s compliance history; (v) whether the approved operator structure will remain
in place; (vi) whether all approvals required under the City Development Agreement and Recognition Agreement have been or will be obtained
as conditions to the proposed assignment; (vii) whether the proposed assignment satisfies the requirements of each Lender and preserves
the Guaranty or provides replacement guaranty support reasonably acceptable to Lessor; (viii) whether the proposed assignment complies
with the Transaction Documents and Project Agreements; (ix) the effect of the proposed assignment upon Lessor’s fee estate, reversionary
interest and rights and remedies; and (x) whether the proposed assignment would adversely affect Lessor’s status as a REIT. Lessor
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any request for consent within thirty (30) days after receipt of Lessee’s
written request, provided that such request is accompanied by complete financial and other information reasonably required by Lessor
regarding the proposed assignee and the proposed assignment. Lessor’s failure to respond within such period shall not constitute
or be deemed consent to the proposed assignment.
(c)
Assumption; Release. At the time of any assignment of this Lease (whether or not Lessor’s consent is required), the
assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease pursuant to a written assumption agreement in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Any such assignment shall simultaneously transfer to the assignee Lessee’s ownership interest
in the Vertical Improvements. No assignment shall release Lessee or any Guarantor from any obligation under this Lease or the Guaranty
unless Lessor expressly approves such release in writing. In determining whether to approve a release, Lessor shall act reasonably and
may consider whether (i) Lessor has approved the assignment; (ii) Lessor has determined that the proposed assignee’s financial
condition, creditworthiness, liquidity, net worth and operating experience are reasonably satisfactory; (iii) Lessor has received replacement
guaranties reasonably acceptable to Lessor; (iv) no Event of Default exists; (v) the Initial Improvements have been completed; (vi) all
construction and lien obligations have been satisfied; (vii) all required City Party and Lender approvals have been obtained; and (viii)
the approved operator structure will remain in place. Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to a request for release
within thirty (30) days after receiving complete information reasonably required to evaluate the proposed assignee, replacement guaranties
and proposed release.
(d)
Prohibited Assignments. Any assignment in violation of this Section 14.02 shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor.
Any consent to an assignment given by Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment.

(e)
Operations Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, the Operations Lease or other agreement for the operation of structures on
the Property that is approved by Lessor shall not constitute an assignment in violation of this Section 14.02. Any Operations Lease or
Operator Agreement shall remain subordinate to this Lease, shall terminate automatically upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease unless Lessor elects otherwise in writing, and shall not impose any monetary, maintenance, operational, indemnification or
other obligation or liability upon Lessor unless expressly assumed by Lessor in writing.
Section
14.03. No Sale of Assets. Without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee shall not sell all or substantially all of Lessee’s
assets. Any sale of Lessee’s assets in violation of this Section 14.03 shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor. Any consent
to a sale of Lessee’s assets given by Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent sale of Lessee’s assets.
Section
14.04. Subletting. Lessee shall not sublet any or all of the Property without the prior written consent of Lessor, such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and any purported subletting without such consent shall be void; provided, however,
that Lessee may, without Lessor’s consent, enter into subleases, licenses or similar occupancy arrangements with telecommunications,
wireless, cellular or internet service providers for the installation, operation and maintenance of telecommunications or data transmission
equipment at the Property (each, a “Telecommunications Sublease”), so long as such Telecommunications Sublease (i)
is entered into on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) does not grant any ownership interest in, or lien upon or other encumbrance against,
the Property, Lessor’s fee estate, the Land or the Horizontal Improvements, (iii) is subordinate to this Lease and each Mortgage,
(iv) terminates upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease unless Lessor elects otherwise in writing, and (v) does not
impose any obligation or liability upon Lessor unless expressly assumed by Lessor in writing. No sublease shall relieve Lessee or any
Guarantor from any obligation under this Lease or the Guaranty, and each sublease shall be subordinate to this Lease and each Mortgage
and shall terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease unless Lessor elects otherwise in writing. No sublease shall
grant any ownership interest in, lien upon or other encumbrance against Lessor’s fee estate, the Land or the Horizontal Improvements
or impose any obligation or liability upon Lessor unless expressly assumed by Lessor in writing.

words or expressions shall have the same force and effect as though made in the form of a covenant.

agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease;
(ii) the business relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is solely that of a long-term commercial lease between
Lessor and Lessee, the Lease has been entered into by both parties in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains contained herein,
and none of the agreements contained herein is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership (de facto
or de jure) between Lessor and Lessee, to make them joint venturers, to make Lessee an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary
or employee of Lessor, nor to make Lessor in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Lessee; and (iii) the Transaction
is a sale leaseback of land for federal, state and local income tax purposes, and no party shall take a position inconsistent with any
of the foregoing on any income tax return.
(b)
Lessee waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease of the Property.
Lessee stipulates and agrees (i) not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of the lease of the Property as a
true lease of the Property; and (ii) not to assert or take or omit to take any action inconsistent with the agreements and understandings
set forth in this Section 17.04.

any matter required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
(b)
Lessor Advertising and Related Publications. Lessee hereby consents to the use by Lessor of, and Lessor is hereby
expressly permitted to use, Lessee’s name, trademarks, logos, pictures of stores and signage, and basic Transaction information
(collectively “Lessee’s Information”) solely in connection with Lessor’s sales, advertising, and press
release materials, including on Lessor’s website. Lessee’s consent shall be deemed authorization for the limited use of Lessee’s

any form of media release, of this Lease or any transactions relating hereto without the prior written consent of Lessor.

the Lease Term, a reference to the existence of the purchase option set forth in Exhibit E (but not the terms of the purchase option),
but omitting Rentals and such other terms of this Lease as Lessor may not desire to disclose to the public. Further, upon Lessor’s
request, Lessee agrees to execute and acknowledge a termination of ground lease and/or quitclaim deed in recordable form to be held by
Lessor until the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term; provided, however, if Lessee shall fail or refuse to sign
such a document in accordance with the provisions of this Section within ten (10) days following a request by Lessor, Lessee irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact to execute and record such document, it being stipulated that such power of attorney
is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and binding. The Memorandum of Lease shall disclose that Lessee’s leasehold estate
under this Lease and Lessee’s fee simple ownership interest in the Vertical Improvements are appurtenant to and inseparable from
one another and may not be separately conveyed, assigned, transferred, pledged, mortgaged, encumbered, foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed
of. Any permitted transfer, foreclosure, deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other exercise of remedies affecting either interest
shall simultaneously affect both interests and transfer both interests to the same transferee. The Memorandum of Lease shall also disclose
that the Vertical Improvements are subject to Lessee’s obligation to convey the Vertical Improvements to Lessor upon expiration
or termination of this Lease, other than upon a closing under the purchase option set forth in Exhibit E.

STATE-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Lessor
and Lessee agree as follows:
1.
Lessor and Lessee are knowledgeable and experienced in commercial transactions and agree that the provisions of this Lease for determining
charges, amounts and additional rent payable by Lessee are commercially reasonable and valid even though such methods may not state a
precise mathematical formula for determining such charges. ACCORDINGLY, LESSEE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND BENEFITS
OF LESSEE UNDER SECTION 93.012 OF THE TEXAS PROPERTY CODE.
2.
Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, the Property constitutes a separate tax parcel (or Lessor shall take all
reasonable steps to cause the Property to be assessed as a separate tax parcel promptly following the Effective Date). Lessee shall have
the right, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to protest, appeal or otherwise contest the appraised value of the Property and the
amount of any Real Estate Taxes assessed against the Property. Lessor shall reasonably cooperate with Lessee in connection with any such
protest, appeal or contest, including executing any documents or authorizations reasonably required for Lessee to pursue such protest,
appeal or contest in Lessor’s name or on Lessor’s behalf; provided, however, that (a) Lessee shall keep Lessor reasonably
informed of the status of any such protest, appeal or contest, (b) Lessee shall not settle or compromise any such protest, appeal or
contest in a manner that would adversely affect the assessed value of the Property for any period following the Lease Term without Lessor’s
prior written consent, and (c) Lessee shall pay all Real Estate Taxes when due pending the resolution of any protest, appeal or contest,
without regard to such protest, appeal or contest. The rights granted to Lessee under this Section 2 with respect to protesting, appealing
or contesting the appraised value of the Property and Real Estate Taxes shall not be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(c)
of the Lease, including without limitation the requirement that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however,
that Lessee shall remain obligated to pay all Real Estate Taxes when due pending the resolution of any such protest, appeal or contest.
3.
To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, Lessee hereby waives any statutory lien it may have against Lessor or its assets, including
without limitation, the Property and any Personalty.
4.
Lessee hereby waives, for itself and all persons or entities claiming by, through, and under Lessee, including creditors of all kinds,
(a) any right and privilege which Lessee has under any present or future constitution, statute, or rule of law to redeem the Property
or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Lease Term after termination of Lessee’s right of occupancy by order or judgment
of any court or by any legal process or writ, or under the terms of this Lease; (b) the benefits of any present or future constitution,
statute or rule of law that exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent; (c) any provision of law relating to notice
or delay in levy of execution in case of eviction of a Lessee for nonpayment of rent; and (d) any benefits and lien rights which may
arise pursuant to Section 91.004 of the Texas Property Code. In any event, Lessor and Lessee hereby acknowledge and agree that no lien
or set-off rights of Lessee shall arise or attach under any circumstances until Lessee shall have obtained a final, binding and nonappealable
judgment in its favor from a court of competent jurisdiction.

contracted for by Lessee. The Memorandum of Lease to be recorded shall contain a statement that Lessee is not the agent of Lessor and
that Lessor is not responsible for the payment of any costs or expenses relating to improvements constructed by or on behalf of Lessee.

PURCHASE OPTION
Lessor
and Lessee agree as follows:
1.
Option Exercise Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Option Exercise Date” shall be all of the following:
A)
The fifth (5th) annual anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Fifth Anniversary Date”);
B)
The tenth (10th) annual anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Tenth Anniversary Date”); and
C)
The date on which Lessee delivers to Lessor evidence that Lessee has received a written commitment from a C-PACE capital provider to
provide C-PACE Financing in an amount not less than $30,000,000 (the “C-PACE Commitment”), which commitment shall
be binding, shall remain in effect through the anticipated closing date, and shall be subject only to (i) Lessee’s acquisition
of fee title to the Property concurrently with the funding of the C-PACE Financing, (ii) execution and recording at closing of the assessment
contract with the applicable local government, and (iii) other customary conditions capable of being satisfied concurrently with such
closing; provided, however, that the option described in this clause (C) may only be exercised during the three (3)-year period following
the Effective Date, and shall automatically expire and be of no further force or effect thereafter. The C-PACE Commitment shall not be
subject to any material funding, underwriting or third-party approval conditions remaining outside Lessee’s control and shall be
assignable to Lessor if reasonably required to consummate the closing; provided that the date of the C-PACE closing shall not be earlier
than six (6) months after the Effective Date (the “C-PACE Option Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the option
arising from the C-PACE Option Date may be exercised only in connection with the simultaneous purchase of the Property and closing and
funding of the C-PACE Financing in accordance with this Exhibit E.
2.
Option. Lessee shall have the option to give Lessor notice (an “Option Notice”) of Lessee’s election
to purchase the Property for a price equal to the Base Monthly Rental in effect as of the Option Exercise Date projected for the next
twelve (12) months including Rental Adjustments divided by 7.5%. The Option Notice must be delivered to Lessor (i) with respect to either
the Fifth Anniversary Date or the Tenth Anniversary Date, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the applicable Option Exercise Date,
but in no event shall it be delivered any earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Option Exercise Date, and (ii) with respect
to the C-PACE Option Date, Lessee shall informally provide Lessor with notice of Lessee’s intent to pursue C-PACE Financing promptly
following Lessee’s submission of a C-PACE application or commencement of material negotiations with a C-PACE capital provider,
and the Option Notice (together with a copy of the C-PACE Commitment) shall be delivered promptly following Lessee’s receipt of
the C-PACE Commitment. Lessor and Lessee shall use best efforts to cause the closing for such purchase to occur within forty-five (45)
days following Lessor’s receipt of the Option Notice; provided, however, that (a) Lessee may extend such period by up to thirty
(30) additional days upon written notice to Lessor delivered prior to the expiration of the initial forty-five (45) day period, and (b)
with respect to a closing in connection with C-PACE Financing, the closing shall occur on the date required to satisfy the funding conditions
of the C-PACE Commitment, which date shall be no later than ninety (90) days following Lessor’s receipt of the Option Notice. If
the closing of the C-PACE Financing has not occurred by such date despite Lessee’s diligent and good-faith efforts, Lessee may
extend the closing date for successive periods of thirty (30) days upon written notice to Lessor delivered before expiration of the then-current
closing period, provided that (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) Lessee continues to pay all Rental and perform all obligations under
this Lease; (iii) the C-PACE Commitment remains binding and in effect; (iv) Lessee is diligently pursuing satisfaction of all remaining
closing conditions; and (v) Lessee delivers reasonable evidence thereof to Lessor with each extension notice. If any of the foregoing
conditions ceases to be satisfied, the option arising from the C-PACE Option Date shall automatically lapse.

3.
Closing. Upon exercise of this option, Lessor and Lessee shall open a new escrow account with a recognized title insurance company
selected by Lessor. Such escrow shall be subject to the standard escrow instructions of the escrow agent, to the extent they are not
inconsistent herewith. At or before the close of escrow, Lessor shall deliver to the escrow agent its special or limited warranty deed
conveying to Lessee all of Lessor’s right, title and interest in the Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except
liens for taxes and assessments and easements, covenants and restrictions of record which were attached to the Property as of the Effective
Date, attached during the Lease Term through Lessee’s action or inaction, as the case may be, have been granted by Lessor in lieu
of a taking by the power of eminent domain or the like, or have been approved by Lessee. In the event Lessor is unable to convey title
as required, Lessee shall have the right to accept such title as Lessor can convey or elect not to consummate its exercise of the option.
Both Lessor and Lessee agree to execute a purchase agreement, escrow instructions and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate
to consummate the sale of the Property in the manner and containing the terms herein provided. All costs incurred in connection with
Lessee’s exercise of the option, including, but not limited to, escrow fees, title insurance fees, recording costs or fees, reasonable
attorneys’ fees (including those of the Lessor), appraisal fees, stamp taxes and transfer fees shall be borne by Lessee. Lessee
shall continue to pay and perform all of its obligations under this Lease until the close of escrow. Any closing in connection with the
C-PACE Option Date shall occur simultaneously with the closing and funding of the C-PACE Financing and shall remain subject to Lessor’s
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that the transaction complies with Lessor’s title, Lender, REIT and documentation
requirements. The purchase price paid by Lessee in exercising this option shall be paid to Lessor or to such person or entity as Lessor
may direct at closing in immediately available funds. The closing date may be extended for a reasonable period of time to permit Lessor
to cure title defects or to permit either party to cure any other defects or defaults provided each party is diligently seeking to cure
such defect or default and Lessee continues to perform its obligations hereunder. In the case of any mortgage or other monetary lien
arising by, through or under Lessor (but not arising by, through or under Lessee), the escrow agent shall first apply the purchase price
to the payment of such mortgage or monetary lien, and the balance shall be paid over to Lessor at closing.
4.
Effect of Purchase Option Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, upon the closing of the purchase contemplated
by this Exhibit E: (a) Lessee’s obligation to convey the Vertical Improvements to Lessor under Section 3.07 shall not apply, and
the provisions of Sections 3.03 and 3.08 shall not apply; (b) Lessee shall retain all of its right, title, and interest in and to the
Vertical Improvements and Personalty, which interests shall merge with the fee title to the Property conveyed to Lessee; and (c) this
Lease shall terminate solely by reason of the merger of the leasehold and fee estates upon such closing, and such termination shall not
be deemed an “expiration” or “termination” of this Lease for purposes of any conveyance, surrender, vesting,
or similar provision.
5.
Termination of Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lessee’s rights under this Exhibit E shall terminate
and be null and void and of no further force and effect if (i) this Lease terminates or the Lease Term expires; or (ii) an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing. In any such event, Lessee shall execute a quitclaim deed and/or such other documents as Lessor
shall reasonably request evidencing the termination of Lessee’s right under this Exhibit E.
6.
No Assignment of Option. Lessee may not sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the option granted herein
or any interest therein, except in conjunction with a permitted assignment of Lessee’s entire interest herein and then only to
the assignee thereof. Any attempted assignment of this option which is contrary to the terms of this Exhibit E shall be deemed
to be an Event of Default under this Lease and the option granted herein shall be void.
7.
No Prohibited Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchase option described in this Exhibit E shall be null
and void in the event that Lessor determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the sale of the Property would cause Lessor to
recognize income or gain from a “prohibited transaction” as defined under Section 857(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.

RECITALS
A. Lessor
and SUNSET GROUND AT MCKINNEY LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Lessee”), have entered into that

pursuant to which Lessor leases to Lessee the real property described therein and the improvements located thereon (the “Property”).
B. As

C. Guarantor
owns a substantial direct and/or indirect interest in the Lessee and will derive substantial benefit from the Lease.
D. All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.
In

and in order to induce the Lessor to enter into the Lease, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

which may or at any time be due to Lessor under or pursuant to the documents listed on Schedule I attached hereto (collectively,

warranties and certifications of Lessee, the satisfaction of all conditions by Lessee and the full and timely performance of all obligations
to be performed by Lessee, under or pursuant to the Documents (the matters which are guaranteed pursuant to this section are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Obligations”). The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are primary, joint
and several and independent of the obligations of Lessee and any and every other guarantor of the Obligations, and a separate action
or actions may be brought and executed against Guarantor or any other such guarantor, whether or not such action is brought against Lessee
or any other such guarantor and whether or not Lessee or any other such guarantor be joined in such action or actions. If this Guaranty
is executed by more than one party, then references in this Guaranty to Guarantor are to each Guarantor signing this Guaranty, and the
liability of each such Guarantor is joint and several.

(f) covenants that this Guaranty will not be discharged until all of the Obligations are fully satisfied; and (g) agrees that this Guaranty
shall remain in full effect without regard to, and shall not be affected or impaired by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability

on the method or terms of payment thereunder which may now or hereafter be caused or imposed in any manner whatsoever.
3. Continuing
Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty, and the obligations, undertakings and conditions to be performed or observed by
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of the following with respect
to the Documents, all without notice to, or the further consent of, Guarantor: (a) the waiver by Lessor of the observance or performance
by Lessee or Guarantor of any of the obligations, undertakings, conditions or other provisions contained in any of the Documents, except
to the extent of such waiver; (b) the extension, in whole or in part, of the time for payment of any amount owing or payable under the

4. Representations
and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lessor that: (a) neither the execution nor delivery of this Guaranty nor fulfillment
of nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms or conditions of, or constitute
a default under, any agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is now a party or by which Guarantor may be bound, or result in the creation
of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of Guarantor, which conflict, breach, default, lien, charge or encumbrance
could result in a material adverse change in the financial condition of Guarantor; (b) no further consents, approvals or authorizations
are required for the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor or for Guarantor’s compliance with the terms and provisions
of this Guaranty; (c) this Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding agreement of Guarantor and is enforceable against Guarantor in accordance
with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization and other
laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity; (d) Guarantor has the full power, authority,
capacity and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty, and, to the extent Guarantor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or other form of entity, the parties executing this Guaranty on behalf of Guarantor are fully authorized and directed to execute
the same to bind Guarantor; (e) Guarantor is not, and if Guarantor is a “disregarded entity,” any owner of the disregarded
entity is not, a “nonresident alien,” “foreign corporation,” “foreign partnership,” “foreign
trust,” “foreign estate,” or any other “person” that is not a “United States person,” as those
terms are defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; (f) Guarantor is not a party with whom
a citizen of the United States is prohibited from engaging in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction or other prohibition
of United States law, regulation or Executive Order of the President of the United States; (g) all financial statements and other information
relating to Guarantor heretofore delivered to Lessor are true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date of this Guaranty
and Guarantor will furnish Lessor, within forty five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Guarantor and within one hundred
twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Guarantor, complete financial statements of Guarantor, including a balance sheet,
profit and loss statement, statement of changes in financial condition and all other related schedules for the fiscal period then ended;
(h) during the term of this Guaranty, Guarantor will not transfer or dispose of any material part of Guarantor’s assets except
in the ordinary course of business for full and fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value; and (i) the Documents are conclusively
presumed to have been signed in reliance on this Guaranty, and the assumption by Guarantor of Guarantor’s obligations under this
Guaranty results in direct financial benefit to Guarantor. Guarantor understands that Lessor is relying on the representations and warranties
of Guarantor, and Guarantor represents that such reliance is reasonable.
5. Nature
of Guaranty. This Guaranty shall commence upon execution and delivery of any of the Documents and shall continue in full force and
effect until all of the Obligations are duly, finally and permanently paid, performed and discharged and are not subject to any right
of extension by Lessee, and Lessor gives Guarantor written notice of the full and final satisfaction of the Obligations. The Obligations
shall not be considered fully paid, performed and discharged unless and until all payments by Lessee to Lessor are no longer subject
to any right on the part of any Person whomsoever, including but not limited to Lessee, Lessee as a debtor-in-possession and/or any trustee
in bankruptcy, to disgorge such payments or seek to recoup the amount of such payments or any part thereof. This Guaranty shall remain
in full force and effect and continue to be effective upon an Insolvency Event. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as applicable, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded
or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lessor, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent
conveyance” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment of the Obligations,
or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid to Lessor and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
3
6. Subordination.
Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor shall have any claims against Lessee, any indebtedness
of Lessee now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of Lessee to Lessor, including, without limitation,
any and all amounts due to Lessor under the Lease. Any such indebtedness of Lessee to Guarantor, if Lessor so requests, shall be collected,
enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Lessor and be paid over to Lessor on account of the Obligations, but without reducing
or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
7. Authority.
It is not necessary for Lessor to inquire into the powers of Lessee or its officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting
to act on its behalf, and Guarantor shall be liable for the Obligations in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any lack of authorization
or defect in execution or delivery by Lessee.
8. Attorneys’
Fees and Costs. In addition to the amounts guaranteed under this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to pay (a) all of Lessor’s Costs,

10. Governing
Law. This Guaranty is delivered in the State of Arizona, and it is the intent of Guarantor and Lessor that this Guaranty shall be
deemed to be a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its principles of conflicts
of law. For purposes of any action or proceeding involving this Guaranty, Guarantor submits to the jurisdiction of all federal and state
courts located in the State of Arizona and consents that Guarantor may be served with any process or paper by registered mail or by personal
service within or without the State of Arizona in accordance with applicable law. Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert in any such
action, suit or proceeding that Guarantor is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the action, suit or proceeding
is brought in an inconvenient forum or that venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained in this section shall
limit or restrict the right of Lessor to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts located in the state in which the Property
is located and/or where Guarantor maintains Guarantor’s residence or chief executive office to the extent Lessor deems such proceeding
necessary or advisable to exercise remedies available under the Documents.
11. Acknowledgement
of Lease. Guarantor intends for the Lease to be a “true lease” and not a financing lease, capital lease, mortgage, equitable
mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of the Lease are those
of a true lease. Guarantor shall not challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of the Transaction, and Guarantor shall
support the intent of Guarantor, Lessee and Lessor that the Lease is a “true lease” and does not create a joint venture,
partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, trust agreement, security interest or the like. Guarantor acknowledges
that Lessor did not prepare or assist in the preparation of any of the projected financial figures used by Lessee in analyzing the economic
viability and feasibility of the Transaction.
5
12. Independent
Rights. All of Lessor’s rights and remedies under the Documents and this Guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate and
cumulative and no such right and remedy is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any of the others.
13. Assignment.
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) Lessor may collaterally assign all of its right, title and interest under the Lease and this
Guaranty to a lender; and (b) upon the exercise of any lender’s remedies set forth in related loan documents, all of the rights,
powers and privileges of Lessor shall be deemed the rights, powers and privileges of such lender and such lender shall be entitled to
exercise all of the rights and remedies of “Lessor” under this Guaranty, the Lease and such loan documents. Guarantor hereby
consents to, and no further consent by Guarantor shall be required for, any further assignment of rights of Lessor hereunder or in connection
with any transfer by Lessor. All notices, certificates, reports or other information required to be delivered to Lessor under this Guaranty
shall be delivered simultaneously to such lender. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Guaranty shall not be deemed
to create any obligation of or liability for such lender. Guarantor intends that such lender shall be an intended third party beneficiary
of this Guaranty but without any corresponding responsibility, liability or obligation to Guarantor.
14. Inurement.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 13 above, this Guaranty is solely for the benefit of Lessor, its successors and assigns
and is not intended to nor shall it be deemed to be for the benefit of any third party, including, without limitation, Lessee. This Guaranty
and all obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Guarantor (including, a debtor-in-possession
on behalf of Guarantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Lessor hereunder, inure to the benefit of Lessor, all future
holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and its successor and assigns. No sales, participations, assignments, transfers
or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein
shall in any manner affect the rights of Lessor or its successors and assigns hereunder. Guarantor may not assign, sell, hypothecate
or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Guaranty.
15. Severability.
If any provision of this Guaranty is unenforceable, the enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected and they shall remain
in full force and effect. Guarantor agrees to take such action and to sign such other documents as may be appropriate to carry out the
intent of this Guaranty. This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. Furthermore,
the undersigned agree that transmission of a fully executed copy of this Guaranty via e-mail in a “.pdf” or other electronic
format shall be deemed transmission of the original Guaranty for all purposes.
16. WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. LESSOR, BY ACCEPTING THIS GUARANTY, AND GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT
THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ISSUES PRESENTED IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT
BY LESSOR OR GUARANTOR AGAINST ANY PARTY OR THEIR SUCCESSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY,
THE RELATIONSHIP OF LESSOR, LESSEE AND/OR GUARANTOR, LESSEE’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PROPERTY, AND/OR ANY CLAIM FOR INJURY OR
DAMAGE, OR ANY EMERGENCY OR STATUTORY REMEDY. THIS WAIVER BY LESSOR AND GUARANTOR OF ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY HAS BEEN
NEGOTIATED AND IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LESSOR ACCEPTING THIS GUARANTY. FURTHERMORE, GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL AND INDIRECT DAMAGES FROM LESSOR OR ANY OF LESSOR’S
AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS OR EMPLOYEES OR ANY OF THEIR SUCCESSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL ISSUES PRESENTED
IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY
OR ANY DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR RELATED HERETO. THE WAIVER BY GUARANTOR OF ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL,
SPECIAL AND INDIRECT DAMAGES HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED BY THE PARTIES AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF THEIR BARGAIN.

17. Final
Agreement. This Guaranty represents the final agreement between Lessor and Guarantor and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior,
contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements. Guarantor covenants and agrees that there are no unwritten oral agreements between Lessor
and Guarantor and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and statements, oral or written, are merged
into this Guaranty. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged, or terminated except
by an agreement in writing signed by the party against which the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge, or termination
is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such agreement.
18. Securitizations;
Other. As a material inducement to Lessor’s willingness to complete the Transaction contemplated by the Lease and the other
Transaction Documents, Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lessor may, from time to time and at any time (a) advertise, issue
press releases, send direct mail or otherwise disclose information regarding the Transaction for marketing purposes; and (b) (i) act
or permit another Person to act as sponsor, settler, transferor or depositor of, or a holder of interests in, one or more Persons or
other arrangements formed pursuant to a trust agreement, indenture, pooling agreement, participation agreement, sale and servicing agreement,
limited liability company agreement, partnership agreement, articles of incorporation or similar agreement or document; and (ii) permit
one or more of such Persons or arrangements to offer and sell stock, certificates, bonds, notes, other evidences of indebtedness or securities
that are directly or indirectly secured, collateralized or otherwise backed by or represent a direct or indirect interest in whole or
in part in any of the assets, rights or properties described in Section 14.01 of the Lease, in one or more Persons or arrangements holding
such assets, rights or properties, or any of them (collectively, the “Securities”), whether any such Securities are
privately or publicly offered and sold, or rated or unrated (any combination of which actions and transactions described in both clauses
(i) and (ii) in this paragraph, whether proposed or completed, are referred to in the Lease as a “Securitization”).
At no additional expense to Guarantor, Guarantor shall cooperate fully with Lessor and any Affected Party with respect to all reasonable
requests and due diligence procedures and to use reasonable efforts to facilitate such Securitization.

UNCONDITIONAL
GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE
THIS
UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE (this “Guaranty”) is made as of October 19, 2026, by J.W.
ROTH, a married man (“Guarantor”), for the benefit of STORE CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (together with its successors and assigns under the Lease (as defined below), “Lessor”).
RECITALS
A.
Lessor and SUNSET GROUND AT MCKINNEY LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Lessee”), have entered into
that certain Ground Lease Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Lease”),
pursuant to which Lessor leases to Lessee the real property described therein and the improvements located thereon (the “Property”).
B.
As a condition to Lessor entering into the Lease, Guarantor has agreed to execute and deliver this Guaranty for the benefit of Lessor.
C.
Guarantor owns a substantial direct and/or indirect interest in the Lessee and will derive substantial benefit from the Lease.
D.
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.
In
consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
and in order to induce the Lessor to enter into the Lease, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1.
Guaranty. Guarantor unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees the punctual and complete payment and performance when
due to Lessor of all Monetary Obligations, including, without limitation, Rental, taxes, insurance premiums, impounds, reimbursements,
late charges, default interest, damages, indemnity obligations and all other amounts, costs, fees, expenses and charges of any kind or
type whatsoever, which may or at any time be due to Lessor under or pursuant to the documents listed on Schedule I attached hereto
(collectively, the “Documents”). Guarantor also unconditionally guarantees the truthfulness and accuracy of all representations,
warranties and certifications of Lessee, the satisfaction of all conditions by Lessee and the full and timely performance of all obligations
to be performed by Lessee, under or pursuant to the Documents (the matters which are guaranteed pursuant to this section are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Obligations”). The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are primary, joint
and several and independent of the obligations of Lessee and any and every other guarantor of the Obligations, and a separate action
or actions may be brought and executed against Guarantor or any other such guarantor, whether or not such action is brought against Lessee
or any other such guarantor and whether or not Lessee or any other such guarantor be joined in such action or actions. If this Guaranty
is executed by more than one party, then references in this Guaranty to Guarantor are to each Guarantor signing this Guaranty, and the
liability of each such Guarantor is joint and several.
STORE/Venu Holding Corporation
Guaranty-J.W. Roth
The Sunset at McKinney – McKinney, TX
This
Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if at any time following the fifth (5th) anniversary of the
Effective Date, Lessor determines, upon review of trailing twelve (12) month financial statements provided by the Lessee or Guarantor
dated immediately prior to the proposed Termination (as hereinafter defined), that (a) Lessee maintained unit-level FCCR (defined below)
at the Property of at least 2.5x, and (b) Lessee’s FCF is greater than $0 (the “Termination”). If Guarantor
believes that all of the conditions in the preceding sentence are satisfied, Guarantor may provide Lessor with written notice (which
may be by electronic mail) of such fact (the “Conditions Satisfaction Notice”) and Lessor shall, within ten (10) Business
Days of receiving the Conditions Satisfaction Notice and all required documentation, provide Guarantor with (i) written notice that all
conditions have been satisfied if Lessor determines that all conditions have been satisfied (the “Termination Notice”),
or (ii) written notice (which may be by electronic mail) that advises Guarantor that not all of the conditions to Termination have been
satisfied and the action Guarantor or Lessee needs to take to satisfy any condition that Lessor determines Lessee has not satisfied.
If and when Lessor provides a Termination Notice, the Termination Notice shall specify the date as of which all conditions to Termination
were satisfied in Lessor’s determination.
For
purposes of determining whether Termination has occurred:
“FCCR”
means with respect to the twelve month period of time immediately preceding the date of determination for the Property, the ratio calculated
for such period of time, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, of (1) the sum of net income (excluding non-cash income), Depreciation
and Amortization, Interest Expense, Operating Lease Expense, and non-cash expenses, to (2) Base Annual Rental as of the date of determination.
“FCF”
means, with respect to Lessee, and for the period of determination, net cash flow from operating activities minus capital expenditures
as stated on Lessee’s statement of cashflows provided with Lessee’s financial statements.
“Depreciation
and Amortization” shall mean the depreciation and amortization accruing during any period of determination with respect
to a Person, as determined in accordance with GAAP.
“Interest
Expense” shall mean for any period of determination, the sum of all interest accrued or which should be accrued in respect
of all Debt of a Person, as determined in accordance with GAAP.
“Operating
Lease Expense” shall mean the sum of all payments and expenses incurred by a Person, under any operating leases during
the period of determination, as determined in accordance with GAAP.
2.
Waivers. This is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and Guarantor unconditionally
(a) waives any requirement that Lessor first make demand upon, or seek to enforce or exhaust remedies against, Lessee or any other Person
(including any other guarantor) or any of the collateral or property of Lessee or such other Person before demanding payment from, or
seeking to enforce this Guaranty against, Guarantor; (b) waives all rights of subrogation, all rights of indemnity and any other rights
to collect reimbursement from Lessee; (c) waives any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by Lessor or in any claim
or remedy of Lessor or any other Person against Lessee with respect to the Obligations; (d) waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand
for performance, notice of nonperformance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of protest, notice of dishonor,
notice of execution of any Documents, notice of extension, renewal, alteration or amendment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice
of defaults under any of the Documents and all other notices whatsoever; (e) waives and agrees not to assert any and all rights, benefits
and defenses which might otherwise be available under the provisions of Ariz. Rev. Stat. §12-1641 and §12–1642 et seq.,
§44-141, §44-142 or §47-3605, Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 17(f), Chapter 43 of the Texas Civil Practice and
Remedies Code, Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Sections
51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (to the extent applicable), or any other laws, statutes or rules (including any
laws, statutes or rules amending, supplementing or supplanting same) which may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty or might operate,
contrary to Guarantor’s agreements in this Guaranty, to limit Guarantor’s liability under, or the enforcement of, this Guaranty;
(f) covenants that this Guaranty will not be discharged until all of the Obligations are fully satisfied; and (g) agrees that this Guaranty
shall remain in full effect without regard to, and shall not be affected or impaired by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability
in whole or in part of any of the Documents, or any limitation of the liability of Lessee or Guarantor thereunder, or any limitation
on the method or terms of payment thereunder which may now or hereafter be caused or imposed in any manner whatsoever.

3.
Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty, and the obligations, undertakings and conditions to be performed
or observed by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of the following
with respect to the Documents, all without notice to, or the further consent of, Guarantor: (a) the waiver by Lessor of the observance
or performance by Lessee or Guarantor of any of the obligations, undertakings, conditions or other provisions contained in any of the
Documents, except to the extent of such waiver; (b) the extension, in whole or in part, of the time for payment of any amount owing or
payable under the Documents; (c) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any of the obligations of Lessee under,

of any of the actions referred to in any of the Documents (including, without limitation, the giving of any consent referred to therein);
(e) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of Lessor to enforce, assert or exercise any provision of the Documents, including
any right, power or remedy conferred on Lessor in any of the Documents or any action on the part of Lessor granting indulgence or extension
in any form; (f) the assignment to or assumption by any third party of any or all of the rights or obligations of Lessee under all or
any of the Documents; (g) the release or discharge of Lessee from the performance or observance of any obligation, undertaking or condition
to be performed by Lessee under any of the Documents by operation of law, including any rejection or disaffirmance of any of the Documents
in any bankruptcy or similar proceedings; (h) the receipt and acceptance by Lessor or any other Person of notes, checks or other instruments
for the payment of money and extensions and renewals thereof; (i) any action, inaction or election of remedies by Lessor which results
in any impairment or destruction of any subrogation rights of Guarantor, or any rights of Guarantor to proceed against any other Person
for reimbursement; (j) any setoff, defense, counterclaim, abatement, recoupment, reduction, change in law or any other event or circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, indemnitor or surety under the laws of the
State of Arizona, the state in which the Property is located or any other jurisdiction; and (k) the termination or renewal of any of
the Obligations or any other provision thereof.
4.
Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lessor that: (a) neither the execution nor delivery of this
Guaranty nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms
or conditions of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is now a party or by which Guarantor
may be bound, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of Guarantor, which conflict,
breach, default, lien, charge or encumbrance could result in a material adverse change in the financial condition of Guarantor; (b) no
further consents, approvals or authorizations are required for the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor or for Guarantor’s
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Guaranty; (c) this Guaranty is the legal, valid and binding agreement of Guarantor and
is enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, reorganization and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general principles
of equity; (d) Guarantor has the full power, authority, capacity and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty, and, to the extent
Guarantor is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other form of entity, the parties executing this Guaranty on behalf
of Guarantor are fully authorized and directed to execute the same to bind Guarantor; (e) Guarantor is not, and if Guarantor is a “disregarded
entity,” any owner of the disregarded entity is not, a “nonresident alien,” “foreign corporation,” “foreign
partnership,” “foreign trust,” “foreign estate,” or any other “person” that is not a “United
States person,” as those terms are defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; (f) Guarantor
is not a party with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited from engaging in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction
or other prohibition of United States law, regulation or Executive Order of the President of the United States; (g) all financial statements
and other information relating to Guarantor heretofore delivered to Lessor are true, correct and complete in all material respects as
of the date of this Guaranty and Guarantor will furnish Lessor, within forty five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Guarantor
and within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Guarantor, complete financial statements of Guarantor,
including a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, statement of changes in financial condition and all other related schedules for
the fiscal period then ended; (h) during the term of this Guaranty, Guarantor will not transfer or dispose of any material part of Guarantor’s
assets except in the ordinary course of business for full and fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value; and (i) the Documents
are conclusively presumed to have been signed in reliance on this Guaranty, and the assumption by Guarantor of Guarantor’s obligations
under this Guaranty results in direct financial benefit to Guarantor. Guarantor understands that Lessor is relying on the representations
and warranties of Guarantor, and Guarantor represents that such reliance is reasonable.
3
5.
Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty shall commence upon execution and delivery of any of the Documents and shall continue in full
force and effect until all of the Obligations are duly, finally and permanently paid, performed and discharged and are not subject to
any right of extension by Lessee, and Lessor gives Guarantor written notice of the full and final satisfaction of the Obligations. The
Obligations shall not be considered fully paid, performed and discharged unless and until all payments by Lessee to Lessor are no longer
subject to any right on the part of any Person whomsoever, including but not limited to Lessee, Lessee as a debtor-in-possession and/or
any trustee in bankruptcy, to disgorge such payments or seek to recoup the amount of such payments or any part thereof. This Guaranty
shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective upon an Insolvency Event. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, are, pursuant to applicable
law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lessor, whether as a “voidable preference,”
“fraudulent conveyance” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and
deemed reduced only by such amount paid to Lessor and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
6.
Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor shall have any claims against
Lessee, any indebtedness of Lessee now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of Lessee to Lessor,
including, without limitation, any and all amounts due to Lessor under the Lease. Any such indebtedness of Lessee to Guarantor, if Lessor
so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Lessor and be paid over to Lessor on account of the
Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
7.
Authority. It is not necessary for Lessor to inquire into the powers of Lessee or its officers, directors, partners or agents
acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and Guarantor shall be liable for the Obligations in accordance with their terms notwithstanding
any lack of authorization or defect in execution or delivery by Lessee.
8.
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In addition to the amounts guaranteed under this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to pay (a) all of
Lessor’s Costs, and (b) interest (including post-petition interest to the extent a petition is filed by or against Lessee under
the Bankruptcy Code) at the Default Rate on any Obligations not paid when due. Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Lessor for, from and against all Losses suffered or occasioned by the failure of Lessee to satisfy its obligations under the Documents.
The agreement to indemnify Lessor contained in this Section shall be enforceable notwithstanding the invalidity or unenforceability of
the Documents or any of them or the invalidity or unenforceability of any other paragraph contained in this Guaranty. All moneys available
to Lessor for application in payment or reduction of the liabilities of Lessee under the Documents may be applied by Lessor to the payment
or reduction of such liabilities of Lessee, in such manner, in such amounts and at such time or times as Lessor may elect.
9.

Governing Law. This Guaranty is delivered in the State of Arizona, and it is the intent of Guarantor and Lessor that this Guaranty
shall be deemed to be a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its principles
of conflicts of law. For purposes of any action or proceeding involving this Guaranty, Guarantor submits to the jurisdiction of all federal
and state courts located in the State of Arizona and consents that Guarantor may be served with any process or paper by registered mail
or by personal service within or without the State of Arizona in accordance with applicable law. Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert
in any such action, suit or proceeding that Guarantor is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the action,
suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained
in this section shall limit or restrict the right of Lessor to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts located in the
state in which the Property is located and/or where Guarantor maintains Guarantor’s residence or chief executive office to the
extent Lessor deems such proceeding necessary or advisable to exercise remedies available under the Documents.
11.
Acknowledgement of Lease. Guarantor intends for the Lease to be a “true lease” and not a financing lease, capital
lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities
of the Lease are those of a true lease. Guarantor shall not challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of the Transaction,
and Guarantor shall support the intent of Guarantor, Lessee and Lessor that the Lease is a “true lease” and does not create
a joint venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, trust agreement, security interest or the like.
Guarantor acknowledges that Lessor did not prepare or assist in the preparation of any of the projected financial figures used by Lessee

Amended
and Restated Ground Lease Agreement
This
Amended and Restated Ground Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) is made and entered into as of October 19, 2026 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (herein referred to as “Landlord”),
and Sunset at McKinney, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (herein referred to as “Tenant”).
RECITALS
A. On,
or about, January 14, 2025, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Ground Lease Agreement (the
“Initial Lease”).
B. On
October 19, 2026, Landlord sold its interest in the property described in the Initial Lease
to STORE Capital Acquisitions, LLC.
C. The
sale of the property described in the Initial Lease affects each party’s interest therein
and, accordingly, the parties must modify their lease structure as further set forth herein.
D. As
of the Effective Date, Landlord owns the “Property” as defined in Section 1 below.
E. Pursuant
to that certain Ground Lease Agreement dated October 19, 2026, between STORE Capital Acquisitions,
LLC and Landlord (the “Master Lease”), Landlord maintains a leasehold
interest in the land underlying the Property.
F. Tenant
intends, in a separate agreement, to lease a portion of its interest in the Property to Sunset
Operations at McKinney, LLC, which will in turn pay a portion of required Rent.
G. Landlord
desires to lease to Tenant, and Tenant desires to take and lease from Landlord, the Property,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. TERMINATION
OF INITIAL LEASE; DESCRIPTION OF LEASED PREMISES.
1.1. As
of the Effective Date, the parties terminate the Initial Lease and hereby waive any rights
and remedies arising thereunder against one another.
1.2. The
Landlord leases to the Tenant and the Tenant takes and leases from the Landlord, on the terms
covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, the vertical improvements (the “Vertical
Improvements”) upon land as described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and
incorporated herein (the “Leased Premises”, the “Premises”,
or the “Property”). Tenant expressly acknowledges and confirms the “triple
net” nature of this Lease.
2. TERM
AND POSSESSION.
2.1. Initial
Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the Effective Date and end at midnight
Central time on ________ , 2125, unless terminated sooner as provided in this Lease (the
“Initial Term” or “Lease Term”). Notwithstanding the
foregoing Effective Date, Tenant shall have the right to use and possess the Premises for
purposes of development and construction commencing on the Effective Date and continuing
thereafter through and including the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, any exercise by Landlord of a purchase option pursuant to the Master Lease
shall not result in the termination of this Lease, and this Lease shall remain in full force
and effect following any such exercise and closing thereunder.
1
2.2. Possession.
Tenant hereby accepts possession of the Leased Premises as of the Effective Date on an “AS
IS, WHERE IS” basis without representation or warranty from Landlord except as may
be expressly set forth herein.
2.3. Use.
The Property shall be used for the construction and operation of an amphitheater and entertainment
complex and uses reasonably-attendant thereto (the “Amphitheater”). The
Property shall not be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.
Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall construct, own and operate all improvements associated
with or incident to the Amphitheater. Upon expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination
as provided herein, all such improvements shall revert to, and become the property of, Landlord.
3. RENT.
In consideration of Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Lease with Tenant, Tenant
shall make the following rental payments to Landlord:
3.1. Rent.
For the period commencing on the Effective Date through and including the last day of the
Lease Term, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord without notice, demand, or set-off
for the Leased Premises annual base rent (“Annual Base Rent”) in the initial
amount of $6,900,000 per year, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments of $575,000.00
each (“Base Monthly Rent Installments”). Annual Base Rent shall increase
by 2.5% per annum on each anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, it is the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Annual
Base Rent payable under this Lease be absolutely net to Landlord, such that this Lease shall
yield, absolutely net to the Landlord, the Annual Base Rent specified in this Lease during
the Lease Term. Tenant shall likewise be responsible for any so-called “rent or sales
tax” payable to the state or local taxing authority on the Annual Base Rent payable
hereunder, if any, under applicable state law, but specifically excluding any income tax
of Landlord.
3.2. Additional
Rent; Triple-Net Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease shall be a “triple-net”,
or NNN, lease. All costs, charges, indemnities, and expenses of every kind and nature (excluding
only income taxes attributable to Landlord) shall be paid by Tenant. All such costs, charges,
indemnities and expenses are defined herein as “Additional Rent”.
In
the event of nonpayment by Tenant of the Additional Rent, Landlord shall have the right to pay any such amounts not paid timely by Tenant,
and thereafter Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to such non-payment as is provided for herein in case of
nonpayment of Annual Base Rent, and any such amounts paid by Landlord shall thereafter bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10.0%)
per annum until paid, and shall be due and payable on demand as further Additional Rent hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant
shall pay directly the applicable Real Estate Taxes for the Property on or before the delinquency date thereof. Tenant shall likewise
obtain, maintain and pay for liability insurance naming Landlord as an additional insured, and such other insurance requirements as Landlord
may request, all in such terms and amounts as Landlord may reasonably determine.
2
3.3. Payment
of Rent. All Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent as described and defined herein is
collectively called “Rent”. All monthly installments of Rent, and any
adjustments thereto provided for in this Lease, shall be paid, in arrears, to Landlord before
or on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month by electronic funds wire
transfer or other method approved by Landlord.
4. ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLETTING.
4.1. Tenant
shall not assign this Lease or sublease the Property, in whole or in part, without the prior
written consent of Landlord and MEDC (as defined in Section 8.17); provided, however, that
no such assignment or sublease shall alter or diminish the obligations of Tenant hereunder.
Any assignment or sublease shall comply with the transfer and encumbrance provisions of the
ARDA and the Recognition Agreement (each as defined in Section 8.17) and shall be subject
and subordinate to the ARDA and the Recognition Agreement.
5. DEFAULT
OF THE LEASE.
5.1. Default
by Tenant. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “Default”
of this Lease by Tenant:
Any
failure by Tenant to pay within five (5) days following written notice from Landlord the Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent, or any
other monetary sums required to be paid hereunder; provided that such written notice shall only be required twice in any 12-month period,
and after two such notices are given, in any 12-month period, the 5-day period shall revert to a grace period only of five (5) days following
the due date thereof;
A
failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other non-monetary provision or obligation of or under this Lease where such failure continues
for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, provided, however, that if the nature of such default or failure
is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall within such period commence such cure
and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion, but in no event shall such cure period exceed sixty (60) additional days;
The
making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a
petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless,
in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within ninety (90) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver
to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Leased Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this
Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within ninety (90) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Leased Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure
is not discharged within ninety (90) days; or
3
Tenant
shall default under the terms and conditions of any sublease of the Property, and such default is not cured within any applicable grace
or cure period thereunder.
5.2. Remedies
in Event of Default by Tenant. In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord or Landlord’s
agents may at any time thereafter, with or without notice and demand and without limiting
Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may have
by reason of such Default or breach: re-enter the Leased Premises and remove all persons
and all or any property therefrom either by summary dispossess proceedings or by suitable
action or proceeding at law. Upon the termination of the term of this Lease by reason of
the happening of any of the Defaults therein above described or in the event of the termination
of this Lease by summary dispossess proceedings or under any provision of law now or at any
time hereafter in force by reason of or based upon or arising out of a Default under or breach
of this Lease on the part of the Tenant, or upon the Landlord recovering possession of the
Leased Premises in the manner or in any of the circumstances herein before mentioned or in
any other manner or circumstances whatsoever, whether with or without legal proceedings,
by reason of or based upon or arising out of a Default or under a breach of this Lease on
the part of the Tenant, the Landlord may, at its sole option and without obligation, relet
the Leased Premises, or any part or parts thereof, for the account of the Tenant or otherwise,
and receive and collect the Rents therefor, applying the same first to the payment of such
expenses as the Landlord may have incurred in recovering possession of the Leased Premises,
including the legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and for putting the same
into good order or condition or preparing or altering the same for re-rental and all other
expenses, commissions, and charges paid, assumed, or incurred by the Landlord in or about
reletting the Leased Premises and then to the fulfillment of the covenants of the Tenant
hereunder. Any such reletting herein provided for may be for the remainder of the term of
this Lease as originally granted or for a longer or shorter period, at Landlord’s sole
option. In any such case and whether or not the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, be
relet, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Annual Base Rent and all other Additional
Rent and charges and impositions required to be paid by the Tenant up to the time of such
termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the Leased Premises by the
Landlord, as the case may be, and thereafter, the Tenant covenants and agrees, if required
by the Landlord, to pay to the Landlord until the end of the Lease Term, the equivalent of
the amount of the Rent reserved herein and all other charges and impositions required to
be paid by the Tenant, less the net avails of reletting, if any, and same shall be due and
payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on the dates specified for the monthly payment of Rent
herein. The Landlord shall have the election in place and instead of holding the Tenant so
liable, forthwith to recover against the Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not
as penalty an aggregate sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or of such
recovery of possession of the Leased Premises by the Landlord, as the case may be, represents
the then present worth of the excess, if any, of the aggregate of the monthly Rent and all
other charges payable by the Tenant hereunder that would have accrued for the balance of
the Lease Term, over the then present worth of the aggregate rental value of the Leased Premises
for the balance of such term using a present value discount rate of eight percent (8.0%),
which Tenant hereby agrees is a reasonable calculation. The specified remedies to which the
Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to
be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which the Landlord may be lawfully
entitled in case of any Default or breach, or threatened breach, by the Tenant of any provision
of this Lease. The failure of the Landlord to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict
performance of any of the covenants of this Lease or to exercise any option herein contained
shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant or option.
A receipt by the Landlord of Rent with knowledge of any Default or the breach of any covenant
hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such Default or breach, and no waiver by the Landlord
of any provisions of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing
and signed by the Landlord. In addition to the other remedies in this Lease provided, the
Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or
threatened violation, of any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease. Further,
as an additional remedy of Landlord upon a Default (and not in lieu of any other remedy herein
stated or under applicable law), Landlord shall have the absolute right to direct subtenants
to pay rent under any sublease directly to Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing
right of Landlord is expressly subordinate to, and shall not be exercised in any manner inconsistent
with, the rights of MEDC under the Collateral Assignment of Rents, and upon the occurrence
of an Owner Default (as defined in the ARDA), MEDC’s rights under the Collateral Assignment
of Rents shall be paramount and controlling over any right of Landlord to direct or receive
payments hereunder.
4
5.3. Default
By Landlord. In the event of any default by Landlord in the performance of any specified
Landlord obligation hereunder, which default shall not be cured within thirty (30) days of
written notice from Tenant (or, if such default is incapable of being cured within such 30-day
period, within a reasonable additional time period provided Landlord is diligently pursuing
the cure of such default), Tenant shall have the right to initiate an action to compel the
specific performance by Landlord of the applicable Landlord obligation hereunder or any such
other action as is permitted by law, including termination of this Lease.
5.4. Attorney’s
Fees. In addition to any other remedies to which a party to this Lease is entitled, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable fees and
expenses incurred in consequence of any breach by such party, including, without limitation,
the prevailing party’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL
COMPLIANCE.
6.1. Tenant
warrants that it shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined)
to be brought, kept or used in or about Leased Premises by Tenant, its subtenants, agents,
employees, contractors, or invitees except in commercial quantities similar to those quantities
usually kept on similar premises by others in the same business or profession. Tenant shall
cause all such materials to be stored, used and disposed of in compliance with all applicable
federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, laws governing Hazardous Materials.
If the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, in or under the Leased Premises caused or
permitted by Tenant, its subtenants, agents, employees, contractors or invitees results in
any contamination of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its
sole expense, as are necessary to return the affected area to the condition existing prior
to the introduction of any such Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, any investigation
or monitoring of site conditions or any clean up, remediation, response, removal, encapsulation,
containment or restoration work required because of the presence of any such Hazardous Materials
on, in or under the Leased Premises or any release or suspected release or threat of release
of any such Hazardous Materials in the air, soil, surface water or ground water, by Tenant,
its sublessees, agents, employees, contractors or invitees.
5
“Hazardous
Materials” as such term is used in this Lease means any hazardous or toxic substances, material or waste, regulated or listed
pursuant to any federal, state or local environmental law, including without limitation, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the
Toxic Substances Control Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rodenticide Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Occupational Safety and Health
Act as such Acts have been or are hereafter amended from time to time.
6.2. Tenant
shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses and expenses,
including consultant fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out
of any breach of the foregoing warranty. Further, Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord against
any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses and expenses, including consultant fees,
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or caused in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, by (i) any release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or Tenant’s
agents on the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease; or (ii) Tenant’s failure
to comply with any Hazardous Materials laws with respect to the Leased Premises. For purposes
of the indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or omissions of Tenant, or by Tenant’s
representatives, contractors, assigns, or invitees (whether or not they are negligent, intentional,
willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant. Tenant’s obligations
pursuant to the foregoing warranty and indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall have no obligation to indemnify Landlord for any claims, liabilities, losses and expenses
arising out of any Hazardous Materials placed, stored, used, or disposed of in, on or under the Leased Premises by Landlord or its agents,
employees or contractors, and in which case Landlord shall indemnify Tenant against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses
and expenses, including consultant fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of such actions or failure to
act. Such expenses shall not be included in any additional rent to be paid by Tenant hereunder.
7. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES.
7.1. The
execution and delivery of this Lease, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated,
and compliance with the terms of this Lease shall not conflict with or, with or without notice
or passage of time, result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute
a default under, any instrument or agreement to which the Tenant is a party or by which the
Tenant or its property is bound or under any applicable regulation of any governmental agency,
or judgment, order or decree of any court having jurisdiction over the Tenant or its properties.
Each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby covenant and warrant
that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing limited liability company under the laws of
the State of Colorado, that the Tenant has full right and authority to enter into this Lease,
and that each person signing on behalf of the Tenant is authorized to do so. Further, Tenant

thereafter to be performed, provided that any security deposits or other funds required to
be held by Landlord and in Landlord’s or the then grantor’s possession at the
time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee
and such grantee confirms in writing to Tenant that it shall hold and dispose of any such
security deposits or other funds pursuant to the terms of this Lease and assumes all other

successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership, and shall be expressly
limited to the then owner of the Property’s equity interest in and to the Leased Premises,
the rental, condemnation and insurance proceeds relating thereto and to any insurance maintained
by or for the benefit of Landlord. Neither Landlord nor any successor landlord, nor any of
their respective officers, members, shareholders, partners, employees or agents, shall have
any personal liability for the performance of their obligations hereunder.

of such courts and waives any objection to venue therein.

Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to enemy or hostile governmental action,
civil commotion, fire or other casualty, other similar acts of God, or extraordinary material
shortages, which are beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, or
which are caused by the failure of the other party to fulfill its obligations under this
Lease, shall excuse the performance by such party for a period equal to any such prevention,
delay, or stoppage.

8.12. Recording.
The parties agree that this Lease shall not be recorded. Upon request of either party, the

parties, the term of the Lease, including renewals, the legal description of the Leased Premises
and may contain, in addition to the foregoing, such other terms and conditions as the parties
may mutually agree upon.
8.13. Estoppel
Certificate. Landlord and Tenant agree that at any time and from time to time, but not
more than fifteen (15) business days after written request by either of them to the other
or by any mortgagee of the Property, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requested
party a statement in writing certifying, among other reasonably requested matters relating
to the Lease to the extent such statements are accurate, that this Lease is unmodified and
is in full force and effect (or if there have been such modifications, that the same is in
full force and effect as modified, and stating the modification) and the date to which the
rental and other charges have been paid in advance, and the absence of any Default under
the Lease by either party, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to
this Section may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the fee, or mortgagee or
assignee of any mortgage upon the fee interest in the Leased Premises or by any permitted
assignee of the Tenant.
8.14. Subordination,
Attornment, Non-disturbance. Conditioned upon Landlord obtaining an executed Approved
SNDA as set forth below, Tenant hereby agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate to the
lien of any mortgage or deed of trust executed by Landlord for the benefit of any bank, insurance
company, individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association, or other lending
institution now or hereafter in force against the Leased Premises, and to all advances made
hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgage or deed of trust, so long as in the
event of foreclosure, or any similar proceeding, of any such mortgage or deed of trust, or
any conveyance in lieu of such foreclosure, which foreclosure or conveyance occurs prior
to the expiration date of this Lease, and so long as an event of Default has not occurred
and is continuing, Tenant shall not be disturbed in the quiet and peaceful possession of
the Premises in accordance with this Lease. Upon request from either party hereto, Tenant
and any holder or future holder, if applicable, of a mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises shall, in a written document in recordable form, execute and deliver a subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto (“Approved

In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise
of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Leased
Premises, Tenant shall upon request attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or
sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease so long as such purchaser
assumes in writing directly to Tenant the obligations of Landlord under this Lease and shall
not disturb Tenant in the quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises so long as an event
of Default has not occurred and is continuing, and in any event subject to the Approved SNDA
executed in the future. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and
conditions of this Section 8.15 and the terms and conditions of the Approved SNDA, the Approved
SNDA shall control.

conditions of this Lease.

G. Pursuant

subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. TERMINATION
OF INITIAL LEASE; DESCRIPTION OF LEASED PREMISES.
1.1. As
of the Effective Date, the parties terminate the Initial Lease and hereby waive any rights
and remedies arising thereunder against one another.
1.2. The
Landlord leases to the Tenant and the Tenant takes and leases from the Landlord, on the terms
covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, the vertical improvements upon land as described
in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Leased Premises”,
the “Premises”, or the “Property”). Tenant expressly
acknowledges and confirms the “triple net” nature of this Lease.
1
2. TERM
AND POSSESSION.
2.1. Initial
Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the Effective Date and end at midnight
Central time on September 30, 2125, unless terminated sooner as provided in this Lease and
as may be extended as provided herein (the “Initial Term” or “Lease
Term”). Notwithstanding the foregoing Effective Date, Tenant shall have the right
to use and possess the Premises for purposes of development and construction commencing on
the Effective Date and continuing thereafter through and including the Effective Date. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, any exercise by Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC
of a purchase option pursuant to the Ground Lease Agreement between STORE Capital Acquisitions,
LLC and Sunset Ground at McKinney, LLC shall not result in the termination of this Lease,
and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect following any such exercise and closing
thereunder.
2.2. Possession.
Tenant hereby accepts possession of the Leased Premises as of the Effective Date on an “AS
IS, WHERE IS” basis without representation or warranty from Landlord except as may
be expressly set forth herein.
2.3. Use.
The Property shall be used for the construction and operation of an amphitheater and entertainment
complex and uses reasonably-attendant thereto (the “Amphitheater”). The
Property shall not be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.
Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall construct, own and operate all improvements associated
with or incident to the Amphitheater. Upon expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination
as provided herein, all such improvements shall revert to, and become the property of, Landlord.
3. RENT.
In consideration of Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Lease with Tenant, Tenant
shall make the following rental payments to Landlord:
3.1. Rent.
For the period commencing on the Effective Date through and including the last day of the
Lease Term, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord without notice, demand, or set-off
for the Leased Premises annual base rent (“Annual Base Rent”) in the initial
amount of $6,900,000 per year, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments of $575,000.00
each (“Base Monthly Rent Installments”). Annual Base Rent shall increase
by 2.5% per annum on each anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, it is the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Annual
Base Rent payable under this Lease be absolutely net to Landlord, such that this Lease shall
yield, absolutely net to the Landlord, the Annual Base Rent specified in this Lease during
the Initial Term of this Lease. Tenant shall likewise be responsible for any so-called “rent
or sales tax” payable to the state or local taxing authority on the Annual Base Rent
payable hereunder, if any, under applicable state law, but specifically excluding any income
tax of Landlord.
3.2. Additional
Rent; Triple-Net Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease shall be a “triple-net”,
or NNN, lease. All costs, charges, indemnities, and expenses of every kind and nature (excluding
only income taxes attributable to Landlord) shall be paid by Tenant. All such costs, charges,
indemnities and expenses are defined herein as “Additional Rent”.
2
In
the event of nonpayment by Tenant of the Additional Rent, Landlord shall have the right to pay any such amounts not paid timely by Tenant,
and thereafter Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to such non-payment as is provided for herein in case of
nonpayment of Annual Base Rent, and any such amounts paid by Landlord shall thereafter bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10.0%)
per annum until paid, and shall be due and payable on demand as further Additional Rent hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant
shall pay directly the applicable Real Estate Taxes for the Property on or before the delinquency date thereof. Tenant shall likewise
obtain, maintain and pay for liability insurance naming Landlord as an additional insured, and such other insurance requirements as Landlord
may request, all in such terms and amounts as Landlord may reasonably determine.
3.3. Payment
of Rent. All Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent as described and defined herein is
collectively called “Rent”. All monthly installments of Rent, and any
adjustments thereto provided for in this Lease, shall be paid, in arrears, to Landlord before
or on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month by electronic funds wire
transfer or other method approved by Landlord.
4. ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLETTING.
4.1. Tenant
shall have the right to assign or sublease the Property, in whole or in part, without the
consent of Landlord, provided, however, that (a) no such assignment or sublease shall alter
or diminish the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and (b) any such assignment or sublease
shall be made only in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the ARDA (including
Article XXI thereof) and the Recognition Agreement, and shall require the prior written consent
of MEDC. Any purported assignment or sublease made without such compliance and consent shall
be void and of no force or effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restrictions
apply to any sublease of any portion of the Property, including any sublease to any affiliate
or related entity of Tenant.
5. DEFAULT
OF THE LEASE.
5.1. Default
by Tenant. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “Default”
of this Lease by Tenant:
Any
failure by Tenant to pay within five (5) days following written notice from Landlord the Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent, or any
other monetary sums required to be paid hereunder; provided that such written notice shall only be required twice in any 12-month period,
and after two such notices are given, in any 12-month period, the 5-day period shall revert to a grace period only of five (5) days following
the due date thereof;
A
failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other non-monetary provision or obligation of or under this Lease where such failure continues
for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, provided, however, that if the nature of such default or failure
is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall within such period commence such cure
and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion, but in no event shall such cure period exceed sixty (60) additional days;
3
The
making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a
petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless,
in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within ninety (90) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver
to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Leased Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this
Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within ninety (90) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Leased Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure
is not discharged within ninety (90) days; or
Tenant
shall default under the terms and conditions of any sublease of the Property, and such default is not cured within any applicable grace
or cure period thereunder.
5.2. Remedies
in Event of Default by Tenant. In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord or Landlord’s
agents may at any time thereafter, with or without notice and demand and without limiting
Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may have
by reason of such Default or breach: re-enter the Leased Premises and remove all persons
and all or any property therefrom either by summary dispossess proceedings or by suitable
action or proceeding at law. Upon the termination of the term of this Lease by reason of
the happening of any of the Defaults therein above described or in the event of the termination
of this Lease by summary dispossess proceedings or under any provision of law now or at any
time hereafter in force by reason of or based upon or arising out of a Default under or breach
of this Lease on the part of the Tenant, or upon the Landlord recovering possession of the
Leased Premises in the manner or in any of the circumstances herein before mentioned or in
any other manner or circumstances whatsoever, whether with or without legal proceedings,
by reason of or based upon or arising out of a Default or under a breach of this Lease on
the part of the Tenant, the Landlord may, at its sole option and without obligation, relet
the Leased Premises, or any part or parts thereof, for the account of the Tenant or otherwise,
and receive and collect the Rents therefor, applying the same first to the payment of such
expenses as the Landlord may have incurred in recovering possession of the Leased Premises,
including the legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and for putting the same
into good order or condition or preparing or altering the same for re-rental and all other
expenses, commissions, and charges paid, assumed, or incurred by the Landlord in or about
reletting the Leased Premises and then to the fulfillment of the covenants of the Tenant
hereunder. Any such reletting herein provided for may be for the remainder of the term of
this Lease as originally granted or for a longer or shorter period, at Landlord’s sole
option. In any such case and whether or not the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, be
relet, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Annual Base Rent and all other Additional
Rent and charges and impositions required to be paid by the Tenant up to the time of such
termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the Leased Premises by the
Landlord, as the case may be, and thereafter, the Tenant covenants and agrees, if required
by the Landlord, to pay to the Landlord until the end of the Lease Term, the equivalent of
the amount of the Rent reserved herein and all other charges and impositions required to
be paid by the Tenant, less the net avails of reletting, if any, and same shall be due and
payable by the Tenant to the Landlord on the dates specified for the monthly payment of Rent
herein. The Landlord shall have the election in place and instead of holding the Tenant so
liable, forthwith to recover against the Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not
as penalty an aggregate sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or of such
recovery of possession of the Leased Premises by the Landlord, as the case may be, represents
the then present worth of the excess, if any, of the aggregate of the monthly Rent and all
other charges payable by the Tenant hereunder that would have accrued for the balance of
the Lease Term, over the then present worth of the aggregate rental value of the Leased Premises
for the balance of such term using a present value discount rate of eight percent (8.0%),
which Tenant hereby agrees is a reasonable calculation. The specified remedies to which the
Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to
be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which the Landlord may be lawfully
entitled in case of any Default or breach, or threatened breach, by the Tenant of any provision
of this Lease. The failure of the Landlord to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict
performance of any of the covenants of this Lease or to exercise any option herein contained
shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant or option.
A receipt by the Landlord of Rent with knowledge of any Default or the breach of any covenant
hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such Default or breach, and no waiver by the Landlord
of any provisions of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing
and signed by the Landlord. In addition to the other remedies in this Lease provided, the
Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or
threatened violation, of any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions of this Lease. Further,
as an additional remedy of Landlord upon a Default (and not in lieu of any other remedy herein
stated or under applicable law), Landlord shall have the absolute right to direct subtenants
to pay rent under any sublease directly to Landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing
right of Landlord is expressly subordinate to, and shall not be exercised in any manner inconsistent
with, the rights of MEDC under the Collateral Assignment of Rents (as defined in the ARDA
and the Recognition Agreement), and upon the occurrence of an Owner Default (as defined in
the ARDA), MEDC’s rights under the Collateral Assignment of Rents shall be paramount
and controlling over any right of Landlord to direct or receive payments hereunder.
4
5.3. Default
By Landlord. In the event of any default by Landlord in the performance of any specified
Landlord obligation hereunder, which default shall not be cured within thirty (30) days of
written notice from Tenant (or, if such default is incapable of being cured within such 30-day
period, within a reasonable additional time period provided Landlord is diligently pursuing
the cure of such default), Tenant shall have the right to initiate an action to compel the
specific performance by Landlord of the applicable Landlord obligation hereunder or any such
other action as is permitted by law, including termination of this Lease.
5.4. Attorney’s
Fees. In addition to any other remedies to which a party to this Lease is entitled, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable fees and
expenses incurred in consequence of any breach by such party, including, without limitation,
the prevailing party’s reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL
COMPLIANCE.
6.1. Tenant
warrants that it shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined)
to be brought, kept or used in or about Leased Premises by Tenant, its subtenants, agents,
employees, contractors, or invitees except in commercial quantities similar to those quantities
usually kept on similar premises by others in the same business or profession. Tenant shall
cause all such materials to be stored, used and disposed of in compliance with all applicable
federal, state and local laws, including, without limitation, laws governing Hazardous Materials.
If the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, in or under the Leased Premises caused or
permitted by Tenant, its subtenants, agents, employees, contractors or invitees results in
any contamination of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its
sole expense, as are necessary to return the affected area to the condition existing prior
to the introduction of any such Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, any investigation
or monitoring of site conditions or any clean up, remediation, response, removal, encapsulation,
containment or restoration work required because of the presence of any such Hazardous Materials
on, in or under the Leased Premises or any release or suspected release or threat of release
of any such Hazardous Materials in the air, soil, surface water or ground water, by Tenant,
its sublessees, agents, employees, contractors or invitees.
“Hazardous
Materials” as such term is used in this Lease means any hazardous or toxic substances, material or waste, regulated or listed
pursuant to any federal, state or local environmental law, including without limitation, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the
Toxic Substances Control Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rodenticide Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Occupational Safety and Health
Act as such Acts have been or are hereafter amended from time to time.
6.2. Tenant
shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses and expenses,
including consultant fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out
of any breach of the foregoing warranty. Further, Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord against
any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses and expenses, including consultant fees,
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or caused in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, by (i) any release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or Tenant’s
agents on the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease; or (ii) Tenant’s failure
to comply with any Hazardous Materials laws with respect to the Leased Premises. For purposes
of the indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or omissions of Tenant, or by Tenant’s
representatives, contractors, assigns, or invitees (whether or not they are negligent, intentional,
willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant. Tenant’s obligations
pursuant to the foregoing warranty and indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
5
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall have no obligation to indemnify Landlord for any claims, liabilities, losses and expenses
arising out of any Hazardous Materials placed, stored, used, or disposed of in, on or under the Leased Premises by Landlord or its agents,
employees or contractors, and in which case Landlord shall indemnify Tenant against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses
and expenses, including consultant fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of such actions or failure to
act. Such expenses shall not be included in any additional rent to be paid by Tenant hereunder.
7. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES.
7.1. The
execution and delivery of this Lease, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated,
and compliance with the terms of this Lease shall not conflict with or, with or without notice
or passage of time, result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute
a default under, any instrument or agreement to which the Tenant is a party or by which the
Tenant or its property is bound or under any applicable regulation of any governmental agency,
or judgment, order or decree of any court having jurisdiction over the Tenant or its properties.
Each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby covenant and warrant
that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing limited liability company under the laws of
the State of Colorado, that the Tenant has full right and authority to enter into this Lease,
and that each person signing on behalf of the Tenant is authorized to do so. Further, Tenant
warrants and represents that it is not subject to any bankruptcy or similar proceeding.

be held by Landlord and in Landlord’s or the then grantor’s possession at the
time of such transfer, in which Tenant has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee

Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to enemy or hostile governmental action,
civil commotion, fire or other casualty, other similar acts of God, or extraordinary material
shortages, which are beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, or

Lease, shall excuse the performance by such party for a period equal to any such prevention,
delay, or stoppage.
