Purchase of Notes The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.
Prepayment of Notes (a) The Company at its option may, upon ten days' written notice to the Holders, at any time, prepay all or any part of the principal amount of Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% (or, if the Company shall have paid the fee required by Section 6.18(b), 100%) of the principal amount of Notes so prepaid, together with accrued interest through the date of prepayment; provided, 18 that the redemption price shall be 103% of par plus accrued interest if the Notes are refunded (whether at the time of redemption or maturity) with or in anticipation of funds raised by any financing transaction in which DLJSC has not acted as sole agent or underwriter to the Company (unless DLJSC, in its sole discretion, shall have consented thereto).
(b) The Company shall, promptly upon the receipt by the Company of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Designated Transaction, prepay an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes so prepaid, together with accrued interest through the date of prepayment; provided, that the redemption price shall be 103% of par plus accrued interest if the Notes are refunded (whether at the time of redemption or maturity) with or in anticipation of funds raised by any financing transaction in which DLJSC has not acted as sole agent or underwriter to the Company (other than a fully underwritten bank financing pursuant to a signed commitment letter containing only such conditions as are usual and customary in such financings and which does not contain any condition relating to the successful syndication of such transaction); and provided, further, that Notes shall be required to be so prepaid only to the extent that Net Cash Proceeds from all Designated Transactions on and after the date hereof exceed $1,000,000.
(c) The Company shall, immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, prepay all Notes then outstanding at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest through the date of prepayment.
(d) Any prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.6(a) shall be in a minimum amount of at least $1,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000, unless less than $1,000,000 of the Notes remains outstanding, in which case all of the Notes must be prepaid. Any prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall be in a minimum amount which is a multiple of $1,000 times the number of Holders at the time of such prepayment.
(e) Any partial prepayment shall be made so that the Notes then held by each Holder shall be prepaid in a principal amount which shall bear the same ratio, as nearly as may be, to the total principal amount being prepaid as the principal amount of such Notes held by such Holder shall bear to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding. In the 19 event of a partial prepayment, upon presentation of any Note the Company shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Note in principal amount equal to the remaining outstanding portion of such Note.
Sale of Notes and Securitization Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:
(a) provide or cause Mortgage Borrower and Senior Mezzanine Borrower to provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) cooperate in good faith in the preparation of descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrower, Holdings and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;
(c) deliver, if required or requested by any Rating Agency, (i) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral, Principal, Holdings and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(d) if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect any of the Properties, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(e) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan, provided that, (i) the aggregate stated principal amount of the notes, following such amendments or deliver of new or component notes, shall equal the aggregate stated principal amount of the Loan immediately prior thereto, (ii) the weighted average spread of the Loan on the date of such amendment or delivery of new or component notes shall equal the weighted average spread which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to such adjustment (Borrower acknowledging that such new notes or modified notes may, in connection with the application of principal to such new notes or modified note following the occurrence of an Event of Default, but not otherwise, subsequently cause the weighted average spread of such new notes or modified notes to change and (iii) the provisions of Section 2.1.5 otherwise shall apply to any such amendments and delivery of new or component notes (such provisions being incorporated herein by this reference);
(f) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding any of the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Principal, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral, Holdings, the Operating Company and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and

Lender and Borrower each shall pay their respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, legal fees in connection with any of the foregoing matters; except that all costs and expenses of Lender and Borrower associated with any restructuring of the Loan requested by Lender, including under Sections 2.1.5, 2.1.6 and 2.1.7, shall be paid solely by Lender.
Repurchase of Notes Neither the Company nor any Consolidated Subsidiary or Affiliate, directly or indirectly, may repurchase or make any offer to repurchase any Notes unless an offer has been made to repurchase Notes, pro rata, from all holders of the Notes at the same time and upon the same terms. In case the Company repurchases or otherwise acquires any Notes, such Notes shall immediately thereafter be canceled and no Notes shall be issued in substitution therefor. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the repurchase or other acquisition of any Notes by the Company, any Consolidated Subsidiary or any Affiliate, such Notes shall no longer be outstanding for purposes of any section of this Agreement relating to the taking by the holders of the Notes of any actions with respect hereto, including without limitation, SECTION 6.3, SECTION 6.4 and SECTION 7.1.
Terms of Notes The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established:
(a) The Notes shall constitute a series of securities having the title “4.80% Senior Notes due 2021”.
(b) The aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07 or 9.04 of the Base Indenture) shall be up to $500,000,000.
(c) The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on July 15, 2021 plus any unpaid interest accrued to such date.
(d) The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.80% per annum; the date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be July 15, 2011 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid; the Interest Payment Dates for the Notes on which interest will be payable shall be January 15 and July 15 in each year, beginning January 15, 2012; the regular record dates for the interest payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be the January 1 and July 1 preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date; and the basis upon which interest on the Notes shall be calculated shall be that of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
(i) The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer. The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Notes to be redeemed shall be calculated as follows, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date:
(A) If the redemption date is prior to April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points.
(B) If the redemption date is on or after April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.
(A) In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Notes in accordance with Section 1.01(e)(i) above, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the Redemption Price at which the Notes to be redeemed are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice and, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue; except that interest shall continue to accrue on any Note or portion thereof with respect to which the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Notes to be redeemed. In case the Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such security, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.
(B) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such series of Notes of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Notes to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Notes for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice that may be required under the provisions of this Section. Subject to Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Notes being redeemed in part. If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest.
