The mezzanine loan agreement for the Fortress Mezzanine Loan provides for cross-default in the event of a Trigger Event. Accordingly, as a result of the Rescission and Removal Notice and the resulting Trigger Event under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, an event of default exists and is continuing under the Fortress Mezzanine Loan. As a result of the event of default, (i) CF Flyer Mezz may require the immediate payment of all amounts owed under the Fortress Mezzanine Loan, (ii) CF Flyer Mezz may foreclose on the collateral for the Fortress Mezzanine Loan, (iii) the interest rate of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan automatically increased by the lesser of 4% or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and (iv) CF Flyer Mezz may apply any sums in any cash management system account in any order and in any manner

as CF Flyer Mezz may elect.

The previously disclosed note sale and assignment agreement, pursuant to which CF Flyer Mezz Holdings LLC, the lender under the Fortress Mezzanine Loan (“CF Flyer Mezz”) and an affiliate of Fortress, agreed to sell the Fortress Mezzanine Loan, was terminated by CF Flyer Mezz on March 31, 2025 following a breach by the buyer of its obligations to complete the purchase.
