Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 23, 2021, Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (the "Company"), and Industrial Realty Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company that is controlled by the Company's director Stuart Lichter ("IRG"), entered into a promissory note (the "Note") pursuant to which IRG made a loan to the Company in the aggregate amount of $8,500,000 (the "Loan Amount"). Interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the Note at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded monthly. The Company will pay interest to IRG under the Note on the first day of each month, in arrears. The Note has a maturity date of June 30, 2022 (the "Maturity Date"). The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty or premium.

The Note contains customary terms regarding events of default, which include payment defaults and breach of any non-monetary covenant of the Note. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, IRG may, at its option, declare the Note immediately due and payable. The Company paid an origination fee of 0.25% of the Loan Amount to IRG under the Note. If the loan evidenced by the Note is not repaid in full by December 31, 2021, the Company will pay IRG a fee equal to 0.25% of the total then-outstanding amount due under the Note on or before the earlier to occur of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) date on which the loan evidenced by the Note is repaid in full. The Note contains certain customary terms regarding payment of IRG expenses and indemnification of IRG.

The rights of IRG under the Note are subordinated in right of payment to all obligations owed by the Company under its term loan agreement, dated as of December 1, 2020, as amended, with Aquarian Credit Funding, LLC (the "Term Loan Agreement"). The loan evidenced by the Note will remain unsecured until such time as the loan evidenced by the Term Loan Agreement is repaid in full. In connection with the Company's repayment of the Term Loan Agreement, each of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) will execute and deliver to IRG a mortgage as security for the loan evidenced by the Note.
