If at any time the Borrower has been assigned only one Credit Rating, and such Credit Rating is from Mxxxx’x or S&P, then the Applicable Margin will be determined based on the Level that corresponds to such applicable Credit Rating; however, if the Borrower has not been assigned (or at any time ceases to have) a Credit Rating from Mxxxx’x or S&P, then (regardless of whether the Borrower has been assigned a Credit Rating from Fitch), the Applicable Margin shall be set at such rates per annum which are applicable to Level 6 in the above table. Notwithstanding the foregoing (unless the Applicable Margin would otherwise be determined based on Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 in the above table), if and for so long as (i) the Leverage Ratio set forth in the table attached as Exhibit A. In most recently delivered Compliance Certificate is either (x) equal to or less than 35.0% or, (y) greater than 35.0% but less than or equal to 37.5% with respect to not more than one fiscal quarter following a period in which the event that Fitch or Xxxxx’x shall discontinue their ratings condition described in clause (x) was satisfied, and (ii) the applicable Credit Rating of the REIT industryBorrower as determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions would otherwise correspond to Level 4 in the above table, then the General Partner or the Borrower, a mutually agreeable substitute rating agency (or two mutually agreeable substitute agencies if both existing rating agencies discontinue such ratings) Applicable Margin shall be selected determined based on Level 3 in the above table. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the end of any fiscal year the Borrower meets the Sustainability Metric Target (as defined below) for such fiscal year, then from and after the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H (the “Sustainability Grid Notice”) demonstrating that the Sustainability Metric Target for such fiscal year was satisfied, which Sustainability Grid Notice shall be accompanied by the Required Lenders and the Borrower.

Each such adjustment in the Applicable Margins shall be computed based on effective as of the Fitch rating)first day of the Fiscal Quarter next succeeding the date of delivery to Agent and Lenders of the quarterly unaudited Financial Statements truthfully and accurately evidencing the need for an adjustment (the Agent reserving the right to challenge any such Financial Statements or certificate provided below and make any prospective or retroactive claim for any interest that would have accrued but for any inaccuracy of any such evidence or certificate, and Borrowers shall be liable for any such claim). Concurrently with the delivery of those Financial Statements, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Agent and Lenders a certificate, signed by its chief financial officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the continuance of, or any change in, the Applicable Margins shall be adjusted effective on the next Business Day following any change in the higher rated entity’s Xxxxx’x debt rating, and/or Fitch’s debt rating, as the case may be.

If the Required Lenders and the Borrower cannot agree on a substitute rating agency or substitute rating agencies within thirty (30) days after such discontinuance, or if Fitch and Xxxxx’x shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry, the Borrower, or the General Partner, the Applicable Margin to be used for the calculation of interest on Advances hereunder shall be the highest Applicable Margin for each Type. If a rating agency downgrade or discontinuance results result in an increase in the ABR Applicable Margins (other than the Applicable Unused Line Fee Margin) to the highest levels set forth in the grid appearing below, until the first day of the first Fiscal Quarter following the delivery of those Financial Statements demonstrating that such an increase is not required. If any Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in the Applicable Margins (other than the Applicable Unused Line Fee Margin) is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the first day of the first Fiscal Quarter following the date on which all Defaults or Events of Default are waived or cured. Adjustments in the Applicable Margins (other than the Applicable Unused Line Fee Margin) will be determined by reference to the following grid: If Leverage Ratio is: Level of Applicable Margins: <2.50 to 1.00 Level I <3.50 to 1.00 but ≥ 2.50 to 1.00 Level II <4.50 to 1.00 but ≥ 3.50 to 1.00 Level III ≥ 4.50 to 1.00 Xxxxx XX Applicable Revolver Index Margin 1.50 % 1.75 % 2.00 % 2.25 % Applicable Revolver LIBOR Margin 2.50 % 2.75 % 3.00 % 3.25 % Applicable L/C Margin 2.50 % 2.75 % 3.00 % 3.25 %

(c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable. The Index Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on Borrowers, absent manifest error.
(d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and at the election of Agent (or upon the written request of Requisite Lenders) confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrower Representative, the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum above the rates of interest or the rate of such Fees otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.
(e) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower Representative shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than the Swing Line Loan) from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 1.13(b) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or Facility Fee Rate and if such downgrade (iv) continue all or discontinuance is reversed any portion of any Loan (other than the Swing Line Loan) as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the affected Applicable Margin succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount. Any such election must be made by noon (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, to bear interest at the Borrower’s requestLIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the applicable Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by noon (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to an Index Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. Borrower Representative must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 1.5(e).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.5, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the Borrower shall receive a credit against rate of interest next due the Lenders equal to interest accrued from time to time during such period of downgrade or discontinuance and actually paid by the Borrower on the Advances at the differential between such Applicable Margins, and the differential of the Facility Fee paid during such period of downgrade. If a rating agency upgrade results in a decrease in the ABR Applicable Margin, LIBOR Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Rate and if such upgrade is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, Borrower payable hereunder shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest differential payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the Advances total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the differential on manner provided in Sections 1.5(a) through (d) above, unless and until the Facility Fees during rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such period Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of upgradedays in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.5(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in Section 1.11 and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrowers or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.
