Related to Other Rate Provisions

• Interest Rate Options The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or LIBOR Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that (i) there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and (ii) if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the LIBOR Rate Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 5.9 [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.

• Interest Rate Protection Agreement (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Protection Agreement. The Interest Rate Protection Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (it being agreed that the items in clauses (ii) through (v) below shall not be subject to Administrative Agent approval), (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists or any amounts remain due and owing to Administrative Agent or the Lenders, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Properties are transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a term through the then-applicable Maturity Date of the Loan and (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement (the “Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement”), all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Protection Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account) and shall notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such assignment. (b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to Borrower or Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders shall be directly deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to enforce Administrative Agent’s rights under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder. (c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any Rating Agency such that it is no longer an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall either (i) replace or cause the cap provider to replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later than the period of time provided for in such Interest Rate Protection Agreement following such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) or (ii) if provided in such Interest Rate Protection Agreement, in the case of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the Rating of such Acceptable Counterparty, cause the Acceptable Counterparty to deliver collateral to secure Borrower’s exposure under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in such amount and pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Administrative Agent. (d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Administrative Agent the Interest Rate Protection Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the cost incurred by Administrative Agent in purchasing such Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Administrative Agent until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Administrative Agent. (e) In connection with the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days following (x) the date upon which an Interest Rate Protection Agreement is required pursuant to Section 2.2.7(a) or (y) the first day of any applicable Extension Option, as applicable (i) a resolution/consent, as applicable, of the Acceptable Counterparty authorizing the delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement acceptable to Administrative Agent, and (ii) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns for the benefit of Lenders and their successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that: (i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Protection Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (iv) the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). (f) At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Administrative Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall terminate and Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver such documents as may be required to evidence Administrative Agent’s release of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement on behalf of Lenders and to notify Acceptable Counterparty of such release.

• Interest Rate Protection Agreements Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall enter into interest rate protection agreements (protecting against fluctuations in interest rates) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which agreements shall provide coverage in an amount equal to $100,000,000 and for a duration of at least two (2) years.

• Interest Provisions Interest on the outstanding principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section 3.2.

• Interest Rate Limitation Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

• Interest Rate Payments Subject to Holder's right to charge the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Section 4 hereof, this Note shall bear interest, and Maker shall make payments as follows: (a) Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at the Interest Rate (as defined in Exhibit A). For purposes of computing interest on the debt evidenced hereby, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a twelve (12) month calendar year applied to the actual number of months funds are outstanding. Payments (or prepayments) made on account hereof shall be applied first to the payment of late charges or other fees and costs owed to Holder (if any), next to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, and then to principal, or, during the continuance of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), in such other order or proportion as Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect from time to time. (b) Interest and principal over the term of the Note shall be due and payable monthly in accordance with the Payment Schedule set forth in Exhibit F. Maker may at any time or from time to time make a voluntary prepayment, whether in whole or in part, of this Note, without premium or penalty. (c) The entire outstanding Obligations (as hereinafter defined) shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date (as defined in Exhibit A) or such earlier date resulting from acceleration by Holder of the Obligations due hereunder following an Event of Default (the “Maturity Date”).

• Selection of Interest Rate Options At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at it’s sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.

• Interest Rate Protection No later than the 90th day after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall enter into, and for a minimum of three years thereafter maintain, Hedging Agreements acceptable to the Administrative Agent that result in at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of its funded long-term Indebtedness being effectively subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

• Calculation of default rate of interest The rates referred to in Clause 6.2 are: (a) the rate applicable to the overdue principal amount immediately prior to the relevant date (but only for any unexpired part of any then current Interest Period applicable to it); (b) the Margin plus the Mandatory Cost plus, in respect of successive periods of any duration (including at call) up to 3 months which the Lender may select from time to time: (i) LIBOR; or (ii) if the Lender determines that Dollar deposits for any such period are not being made available to it by leading banks in the London interbank market in the ordinary course of business, a rate from time to time determined by the Lender by reference to the cost of funds to it from such other sources as the Lender may from time to time determine.

• Default Provisions In addition to any Default arising under Section 20.1 above, each of the following shall constitute a Default: (a) if Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other payment when due hereunder within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord of such failure to pay on the due date; provided, however, that if in any consecutive 12 month period, Tenant shall, on two (2) separate occasions, fail to pay any installment of Rent on the date such installment of Rent is due, then, on the third such occasion and on each occasion thereafter on which Tenant shall fail to pay an installment of Rent on the date such installment of Rent is due, Landlord shall be relieved from any obligation to provide notice to Tenant, and Tenant shall then no longer have a ten (10) day period in which to cure any such failure; (b) except as is otherwise provided below in this Section 20.2, if Tenant fails, whether by action or inaction, to timely comply with, or satisfy, any or all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease (other than the obligation to pay Rent) for a period of 30 days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of written notice of such default under this Section 20.2(b); provided, however, that if the default cannot, by its nature, be cured within such 30 day period, but Tenant commences and diligently pursues a cure of such default promptly within the initial 30 day cure period, then, as long as Tenant continues to diligently pursue such a cure to completion, Landlord shall not exercise its remedies under Section 21 unless such default remains uncured for more than 270 days after the initial delivery of Landlord’s original default notice and same shall not be deemed to be a “Default” for purposes of this Lease; (c) the occurrence of a default under any or all of the leases scheduled on Exhibit D (“Other Leases”), which default under one or more of the Other Leases is not cured on a timely basis, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Other Lease(s) (“Other Lease Default”); upon the occurrence of an Other Lease Default, there shall be no notice required to be delivered hereunder, nor shall any cure period be available to Tenant hereunder; rather, the occurrence of an Other Lease Default shall immediately constitute a Default under this Lease; and (d) Guarantor defaults under any or all of its obligations under that certain Guaranty of Lease, dated of even date herewith (the “Guaranty”), and fails to cure same within the time period, if any, provided in the Guaranty (each, a “Guaranty Default”); upon the occurrence of any Guaranty Default, there shall be no notice required to be delivered hereunder, nor shall any cure period be available to Tenant hereunder, but rather the occurrence of a Guaranty Default shall immediately constitute a Default under this Lease.
