Modifications of Certain Documents The Borrower will not consent to any modification, supplement or waiver of (a) any of the provisions of any agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or relating to any Permitted Indebtedness that would result in such Permitted Indebtedness not meeting the requirements of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” set forth in Section 1.01 of this Agreement, unless following such amendment, modification or waiver, such Permitted Indebtedness would otherwise be permitted under Section 6.01, or (b) either of the Affiliate Agreement or the Custodian Agreement, unless such modification, supplement or waiver is not materially less favorable to the Borrower than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from unrelated third parties, in each case, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (with the approval of the Required Lenders). Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, freely amend, restate, terminate, or otherwise modify any documents, instruments and agreements evidencing, securing or relating to Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(d), including increases in the principal amount thereof, modifications to the advance rates and/or modifications to the interest rate, fees or other pricing terms so long as following any such action such Indebtedness continues to be permitted under Section 6.01(d).
Optional Payments and Modifications of Certain Debt Instruments (a) Make or offer to make any optional or voluntary payment, prepayment, repurchase or redemption of (including any “call,” open market purchase or cash payment in connection with the Borrower’s election to cash settle or “net share” settle in connection with a “conversion” requirement under any Convertible Notes) or otherwise optionally or voluntarily defease or segregate funds with respect to any Junior Financing except (i) pursuant to Restricted Payments permitted by Section 8.6(f), (g), (h), (i), (k) and (l), (ii) with the proceeds of other Junior Indebtedness pursuant to a Permitted Refinancing or (iii) the conversion of any Junior Financing to Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock that is not permitted hereunder) including payments permitted under Section 8.6(h) in connection therewith; provided that nothing in this Section 8 shall restrict the Group Members from repaying intercompany loans so long as such repayments are in accordance with the terms of the Intercompany Note, if applicable; provided further that with respect to the Convertible Notes,
(A) the 2026 Convertible Notes may be converted into the right to receive cash in accordance with the conversion provisions of the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture (and the Borrower may pay cash settlements to the holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes in accordance with the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture); and
(B) the 2026 Convertible Notes may be redeemed or repurchased in connection with the “call” provisions set forth in Section 3.01 of the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture pursuant to the terms thereof.
(b) Amend, modify, waive or otherwise change, or consent or agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or other change to, any of the terms of any Junior Financing other than any amendment that is not (i) materially adverse to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries and/or the Secured Parties or (ii) more onerous in any material respect than the existing applicable provisions in the Junior Financing or the applicable provision set forth in this Agreement, in each case as determined by the board of directors (including an authorized committee thereof) of the Borrower in good faith; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any such amendment, modification or change shorten the maturity or average life to maturity of any Junior Financing (or any Permitted Refinancings thereof), require any payment with respect thereto sooner than previously scheduled, increase the interest rate or fees applicable thereto or grant collateral as security thereof.
(c) Amend, modify, waive or otherwise change, or consent or agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or other change to, any of the terms of any Organizational Document of any Restricted Subsidiary if such amendment, modification, waiver or change could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or would be materially adverse to the Lenders.
Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.03:
(a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Seller, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
(b) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
(c) The Master Servicer, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the Custodian shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any Servicing Agreement (except to the extent that the Master Servicer is indemnified by the Servicer thereunder), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense related to the Master Servicer's failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or to the Custodian's failure to perform its duties under the Custodial Agreement, respectively, or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's or the Custodian's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable.
(d) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, with the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Collection Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in this Subsection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer's obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 3.01(a).
(e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.
(f) The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

Definitions and Other Provisions of General Application SECTION 101.
Acceleration Waivers Amendments and Remedies 8.1. Acceleration. If any Default described in Sections 7.7 or 7.8 occurs with respect to Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Facility Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, so long as a Default exists Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans and the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may permanently terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and declare the Facility Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon if the Required Lenders elected to accelerate (i) the Facility Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) if any automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion), shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by Borrower and any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan Documents. In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Required Lenders Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto. Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall not be entitled to receive any interest thereon. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit and associated issuance costs and fees. Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of all Facility Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to Borrower. If, within 10 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Facility Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Sections 7.7 or 7.8 with respect to Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Facility Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION
Rights and Remedies Generally Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this Agreement and in any of the other Financing Agreements, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or other applicable laws, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by law, including, without limitation, the right of Lender to sell, assign, or lease any or all of the Collateral or the Real Property. Upon notice to the Borrowers after an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Borrowers at their own expense shall assemble all or any part of the Collateral as determined by Lender and make it available to Lender at any location designated by Lender. In such event, the Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, store and keep any Collateral so assembled at such location pending further action by Lender and provide such security guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect and preserve such Collateral. In addition to all such rights and remedies, the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by the Lender after an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof may be for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Lender may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set-off the amount of such purchase price against the Liabilities of the Borrowers then owing. Any sales of such Collateral may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Lender may, in its sole discretion, cause the Collateral to remain on any Borrower’s premises, at the Borrowers’ expense, pending sale or other disposition of such Collateral. The Lender shall have the right after an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof to conduct such sales on any Borrower’s premises, at the Borrowers’ expense, or elsewhere, on such occasion or occasions as the Lender may see fit.
WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Holder of Secured Obligations to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement and each Grantor, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth, provided that the addition of any Domestic Subsidiary as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex I (with such modifications as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
Waivers; Other Agreements No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
