Loan Agreement

The initial interest rate of the Loan is equal to the one-month London interbank offered rate for deposits, or LIBOR, plus a margin rate of 2.15%. In connection with the Loan, the Borrowers entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which caps the base interest rate before applying the applicable margins on the Loan, for an aggregate notional amount of $800 million, a termination date of July 9, 2019 and a strike rate of 4.25%. The Loan is scheduled to mature on July 9, 2019, with an option for the Borrowers to extend the initial term for five one-year extension terms, subject to certain conditions. The Loan is not subject to any mandatory principal amortization.

The Loan contains various representations and warranties, as well as certain financial, operating and other covenants that will among other things, limit the Company’s ability to:

• incur additional secured or unsecured indebtedness;

• make cash distributions at any time that the debt yield, representing the quotient (expressed as a percentage) calculated by dividing the annualized net operating income of the properties subject to the Loan by the outstanding principal amount of the indebtedness under the Loan, is, for two consecutive quarters, less than (i) 8.00% during the initial two-year term, the first extension term and the second extension term of the Loan and (ii) 9.00% during the third, fourth and fifth extension terms of the Loan, in each case, until such time as the debt yield for two consecutive quarters is equal to or greater than 8.00% during the initial two-year term, the first extension term and second extension term of the Loan and 9.00% during the third, fourth and fifth extension terms of the Loan;

• make investments or acquisitions;

• use assets as security in other transactions;

• sell assets (except that the Borrowers are permitted to sell assets so long as the debt yield is not reduced (other than a Special Prepayment (as defined below)), subject to payment of applicable prepayment premiums and other property release requirements);

• guarantee other indebtedness; and

• consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Defaults under the Loan include, among other things, the failure to pay interest or principal when due, material misrepresentations, transfers of the underlying security for the Loan without any required consent from the Lender, defaults related to the franchise and management agreements, bankruptcy of a Borrower or any guarantor of the Loan, failure to maintain required insurance and a failure to observe other covenants under the Loan, in each case subject to any applicable cure rights.

The Borrowers may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time, except that, if a prepayment is made at any time on or before June 9, 2018, and such prepayment, when aggregated with all other prepayments made by the Borrowers, exceeds 15% of the amount of the Loan funded to the Borrowers, then the Borrowers will be required to pay to the Lender an amount equal to the then effective margin rate on the principal being prepaid for the period from the date of the prepayment through June 14, 2018. Any prepayment made after June 9, 2018 may be made without any prepayment penalty or fee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayment of the Loan (i) with casualty or condemnation proceeds or (ii) as a result of the release of a property as collateral security for the Loan in connection with (A) a ground lease default other than due to a default by a Borrower or Operating Lessee, (B) a franchise agreement default, (C) a brand management agreement default, (D) a termination of a purchase agreement other than due to a default by a Borrower or Operating Lessee or (E) as a result of an event of default under the Loan related to such property other than due to a default by Borrower or Operating Lessee done in bad faith to circumvent the release provisions of the Loan ((i) and (ii), collectively, a “Special Prepayment”) will not be subject to any limitation on prepayment or any prepayment fee or penalty or debt yield release requirements, but will be subject to limited conditions to prepayment.

Guaranty Agreement

In addition, the applicable Borrowers for each Loan and BSHH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantor”) and an affiliate of BRE Select Hotels Holdings LP (the holder of 100% of the common shares in the Company) pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2017 (the “Guaranty”), will have recourse liability under the Loans for certain matters typical of a transaction of this type, including, without limitation, relating to losses arising out of actions by the Borrower, Guarantor, Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII or their respective affiliates controlled by Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII which constitute fraud or material and willful misrepresentation in connection with the Loan, willful misconduct that results in physical damage or waste to any property, the removal or disposal of any portion of any property during the continuance of an event of default under the Loan, misappropriation or conversion of any insurance proceeds paid by reason of a casualty, any awards received in connection with a condemnation of all or a portion of any individual property, any rents during the continuance of an event of default under the Loan or any rents paid more than one month in advance, any liability or obligation pursuant to any purchase and sale agreement entered into for a previously-owned property (but with respect to the Guarantor, specifically excluding any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation arising out of or incurred in connection with any environmental matters or conditions or claims or other obligations arising therefrom), a material breach of the special purpose entity covenants relating to the incurrence of additional indebtedness or assuming or guaranteeing the debts of any other person or entity, failure to obtain prior written consent to any financing or other voluntary lien encumbering any individual property, if such consent is required in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan, any voluntary termination, or any voluntary, material modification of a ground lease without Lender’s prior written consent other than as expressly permitted under the Loan (not exceed the amortized release amount of the ground leased property) or failure to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to certain transfers to the extent required by the Loan.

The Borrowers will also have recourse liability for the Loan in the event any security instrument or loan agreement is deemed a fraudulent conveyance or a preference, and the Borrowers and the Guarantor will have recourse liability for the Loan in the event of a voluntary or collusive involuntary bankruptcy of any Borrower or any operating lessee of the properties or in the event Borrower, Guarantor, Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII or their respective affiliates controlled by Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII consents to or joins in the application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or examiner of any Borrower or the operating lessee of any of the properties or any property, provided, however, the liability of the Guarantor described in this sentence shall not exceed 10% of the principal amount of the Loan outstanding at the time the event occurred.

Mortgage

In connection with entering the Loan Agreement, on July 7, 2017, each Borrower and Operating Lessee also entered into a mortgage or deed of trust securing each Borrower’s fee or leasehold interest in the properties and Operating Lessee’s leasehold interest in the properties.

Concurrent with the execution of the documents reflecting the Loan, the Company executed an Indemnity Agreement in favor of the Guarantor pursuant to which the Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Guarantor harmless from any losses incurred by the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the guaranty executed by Guarantor in favor of the Lender in connection with the Loan.

Certain Lenders and other participants in the Loan Agreement and their respective affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking, advisory roles and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
