OTHER RIGHTS, ETC (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loan to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

Observer Rights (a) For so long as each of the BCP Entities and the CPPIB Entities individually own four percent (4%) or more of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares (without regard to the voting power of such Class B Shares) and there is no Director who is a designee of such Sponsor Entity on the Board, such Sponsor Entity shall have the right to designate one (1) non-voting observer to the Board (each, an “Observer”). The appointment and removal of any Observer shall be by written notice to the Board. Each Observer shall be a natural person. Each Observer shall be entitled to be present at all meetings of the Board and any committee thereof and shall be notified of any such meeting by reasonable prior notice, including such meeting’s time and place, in the same manner as the directors of the Board (the “Directors”) and shall receive copies of all written materials distributed to the Directors for purposes of such meetings at the same time as the Directors (except to the extent an Observer has been excluded therefrom pursuant to Section 3.01(b)); provided, however, that the Observer shall have executed a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement and such other acknowledgments and agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Board and the Sponsor Entity that designated such Observer, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall permit the Observer to share information as provided in Section 5.04; provided, further, that such Observer (x) shall not have voting rights with respect to actions taken or elected not to be taken by the Board or be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a sufficient quorum for the Board to conduct its business and (y) shall be subject to all rules governing the Board and nothing herein shall prevent the Board from acting by written instrument to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, further, that if at any time (upon written notice to the Company), a Sponsor Entity elects to suspend the receipt of the information provided by the Company under Section 5.04(b), such Sponsor Entity may also elect to suspend the right to appoint an Observer in accordance with this Section 3.01. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may exclude an Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if: (i) the Board concludes in good faith, upon advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, (A) that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counselor or (B) that an Observer has a potential conflict of interest; provided, however, that any such exclusion shall apply only to such portion of the material or such portion of the meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege and not to any other portion thereof; or (ii) such portion of a meeting is an executive session limited solely to independent director members of the Board, independent auditors and/or legal counsel, as the Board may designate, and an Observer (assuming such Observer were a member of the Board) would not meet the then-applicable standards for independence adopted by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), or such other exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded.
