SECTION 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1. Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Issuer will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Issuer and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

-21-

Section 8.4. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Issuer shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Issuer and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Issuer or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions (except to the extent necessary to reflect differences in interest rates and maturities of the Notes of the different series). Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Issuer shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Issuer will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

-22-

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% (50 basis points) plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (1) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (2) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (i) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (ii) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% (50 basis points) plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (A) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (B) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

-23-

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7. Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control. The Constituent Companies will, within five Business Days after any Responsible Officer of either thereof has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes and such notice shall contain and constitute an offer by the Issuer to prepay Notes as described in Section 8.7(b) and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.7(e).

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Sections 8.7(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, Notes held by each holder on a date specified in such offer (the “Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date”), which date shall be a Business Day not less than 20 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (or if the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 20th day after the date of such offer).

(c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Issuer at least five Business Days prior to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

(d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment but without any Make-Whole Amount. The prepayment shall be made on the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date.

(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer and dated the date of such offer, specifying (1) the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (2) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7 and that failure by a holder to respond to such offer by the deadline established in Section 8.7(c) shall result in such offer to such holder being deemed rejected, (3) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (4) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (5) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 have been fulfilled and (6) in reasonable detail, the nature and date of the Change in Control.

(f) Change in Control Defined. “Change in Control” means:

-24-

(1) Any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that a Person will be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all securities that such Person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than 35% of the total voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the Parent Guarantor; or

(2) A “change in control,” “change in management” or similar event in respect of the Parent Guarantor under the Bank Credit Agreement.

Section 8.8. Optional Prepayment at Par. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, the Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay any series of Notes at any time during the 60-day period immediately preceding the Maturity Date of such series of Notes at 100% of the principal amount of all Notes of such series then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment. The Issuer will give each holder of Notes of the relevant series (with a copy to each holder of Notes of the other series) written notice of each optional prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.8 not less than 10 days and not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment; provided that any prepayment of Notes under this Section 8.8 shall not occur prior to the 60th day preceding the Maturity Date of such series of Notes. Each such notice shall specifically refer to this Section 8.8 and shall specify the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the relevant series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid, and the accrued interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid.

Section 8.9. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) except as set forth in clause (b), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (b) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

From the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Constituent Companies covenant that:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Laws and Material Contracts.

(a) Without limiting Section 10.4, each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws,

-25-

the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16) and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly and punctually perform and comply with any and all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements expressed as binding upon any such Person under any Material Contract which if not performed or complied with could reasonably be expected to result in any party to a Material Contract taking action to terminate such Material Contract.

Section 9.2. Insurance. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance (on a replacement cost basis) with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies (including terrorism as applicable), of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Parent Guarantor has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary, provided that neither the Parent Guarantor nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-26-

Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc. Each Constituent Company will at all times preserve and keep its limited liability company or corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Section 10.2, each Constituent Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate or other legal existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless, except in the case of the Issuer, merged into a Constituent Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of each Constituent Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate or other legal existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets. Each Constituent Company and its Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets and each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

Section 9.7. REIT Status. The Parent Guarantor shall maintain its status as, and election to be treated as, a REIT under the Code.

(a) The Parent Guarantor will cause each of its Subsidiaries that guarantees or otherwise becomes liable at any time, whether as a borrower or an additional or co-borrower or otherwise, for or in respect of any Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility to concurrently therewith:

(1) execute a supplement to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement in the form of Exhibit A thereto (a “Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement”); and

(2) deliver the following to each holder of a Note:

(i) an executed counterpart of such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement;

(ii) a certificate signed by an authorized Responsible Officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis mutandis, as those contained in Sections 5.1(c), 5.2(c), 5.6(c), 5.7(c) and 5.19(c) of this Agreement (but with

-27-

respect to such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement and the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, as the case may be);

(iii) all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and, where applicable, good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement; and

(iv) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders covering the matters set forth in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Schedule 4.4(a)(1) but relating to such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement and the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and which opinion may be subject to assumptions, qualifications and limitations similar to those set forth in said Schedule 4.4(a)(1).

(b) At the request of the Parent Guarantor and by written notice to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (including any Subsidiary Guarantor that becomes a party thereto by virtue of a Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement) shall be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and shall be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders, provided that (1) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor or is otherwise liable for or in respect of any Material Credit Facility, then such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement) under such Material Credit Facility, (2) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (3) no amount is then due and payable under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, (4) if in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged under any Material Credit Facility, any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Indebtedness under such Material Credit Facility principally for such release, the holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration substantially concurrently therewith and (5) each holder shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Guarantor certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (1) through (4).

Section 9.10. Most Favored Lender Provision. If at any time the Bank Credit Agreement or any Additional Note Purchase Agreement or any Guaranty in respect of any thereof (a “MFL Agreement”) shall include any Financial Covenant and such provision is not contained in this Agreement (any such provision, together with any related definitions (including, any term defined therein with reference to the application of GAAP, as identified in such MFL Agreement), an “Additional Covenant”), then the Constituent Companies shall promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days thereof, provide a Most Favored Lender Notice with respect to each such Additional Covenant; provided that a Most Favored Lender

-28-

Notice is not required to be given in the case of the Additional Covenants incorporated herein on the Execution Date. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within 10 days of the Purchasers and holders receipt of such notice, such Additional Covenant shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein, effective (a) in the case of any Additional Covenant effective on the Execution Date, as of the Execution Date, and (b) in the case of any Additional Covenant effective after the Execution Date, as of the date when such Additional Covenant became effective under the relevant MFL Agreement. Any Additional Covenant incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to this provision, (1) shall be deemed automatically waived herein to reflect any waiver of such Additional Covenant under the relevant MFL Agreement, (2) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments agreed and implemented in relation to such Additional Covenant under the relevant MFL Agreement and (3) shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Additional Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from or is no longer in effect under or pursuant to the relevant MFL Agreement or if the relevant MFL Agreement has been terminated; provided in each case that any consideration paid or provided to any holder of Indebtedness under the relevant MFL Agreement in connection with an event contemplated by clause (1), (2) or (3) above (other than in connection with the extension of the term of the relevant MFL Agreement, refinancing or replacing the relevant MFL Agreement or repayment in full of the relevant MFL Agreement in connection with its termination) is paid to each holder of Notes at the same time and on equivalent terms (and for the avoidance of doubt such amounts shall be proportional to the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding as compared to the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness outstanding under the relevant MFL Agreement); and provided further that no Additional Covenant shall be so deemed automatically waived, amended or deleted during any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In determining whether a breach of any Financial Covenant incorporated by reference into this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.10 shall constitute an Event of Default, the period of grace, if any, applicable to such Additional Covenant in the relevant MFL Agreement shall apply.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Constituent Companies fail to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

SECTION 10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

From the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Constituent Companies covenant that:

Section 10.1. Transactions with Affiliates. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into directly or indirectly any transaction or group of related transactions (including the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate, except pursuant to the reasonable requirements of such Constituent Company’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

-29-

Section 10.2. Merger, Consolidation, Sales of Assets and Other Arrangements. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, (x) enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, (y) liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution) or (z) convey, sell, lease, sublease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or any substantial part of its business or assets, or the capital stock of or other Equity Interests in any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; provided, however, that:

(a) any of the actions described in the immediately preceding clauses (x) through (z) may be taken with respect to any Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) so long as (1) immediately prior to the taking of such action, and immediately thereafter and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence and (2) if such action includes the sale of all Equity Interests in a Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor owned directly or indirectly by the Parent Guarantor, such Subsidiary can and will be released from the Guaranty in accordance with Section 9.9(b);

(b) the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries may lease and sublease their respective assets, as lessor or sublessor (as the case may be), in the ordinary course of their business;

(c) a Person may merge with the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor so long as (1) the survivor of such merger is the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor or, solely in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor at the time of such merger, and (2) immediately prior to such merger, and immediately thereafter and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence, including a Default or Event of Default resulting from a breach of Section 10.8 or any Additional Covenant; and

(d) the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries may sell, transfer or dispose of assets among themselves.

Further, (i) no Constituent Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may enter into any sale-leaseback transactions or other transaction by which such Person shall remain liable as lessee (or the economic equivalent thereof) of any real or personal property that it has sold or leased to another Person and (ii) no Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor may enter into any sale-leaseback transactions or other transaction by which such Person shall remain liable as lessee (or the economic equivalent thereof) of any real or personal property that it has sold or leased to another unless no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom.

Section 10.3. Line of Business. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the Execution Date as described in the Memorandum.

-30-

Section 10.4. Economic Sanctions, Etc. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Controlled Entity to (a) become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or (b) directly or indirectly have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of the Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction (1) would cause any Purchaser or holder or any affiliate of such Purchaser or holder to be in violation of, or subject to sanctions under, any law or regulation applicable to such Purchaser or holder, or (2) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws.

Section 10.5. Permitted Liens; Negative Pledge.

SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

Section 12.1. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to either Constituent Company described in Section 11(g), (h) or (i) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (1) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (6) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (1) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (1) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon at the applicable Default Rate) and (2) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount, shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case

-36-

without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Issuer acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Issuer (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Issuer in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Issuer, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Issuer has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the applicable Default Rate, (b) neither the Issuer nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Constituent Companies under Section 16, the Issuer will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

SECTION 13. GUARANTEE.

Section 13.1. The Guarantee. The Parent Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, to each holder of a Note (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or

-38-

It being understood that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Section 13.2 that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable to the extent herein specified and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the Obligations and then only to the extent of such payment.

Section 13.3. Guaranty of Payment. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee herein constitutes a guaranty of payment when due (and not a guaranty of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder of a Note to any other Person or to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

Section 13.4. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Parent Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder of a Note to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Parent Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Parent Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Section 13.5. Reinstatement. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of a Note upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

Section 13.6. Payment on Demand. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder of a Note has at law or in equity against the Parent Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, the Parent Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by any holder of a Note, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders an amount equal to the sum of (a) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law).

The Parent Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Issuer shall default under the terms of a Note or this Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given Default or Event of Default, the Guarantee contained in this Section

-39-

13 shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent Default or Event of Default.

Section 13.7. Stay of Acceleration. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Agreement for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

Section 13.8. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any holder of a Note against the Issuer or any collateral security or Guarantee or right of offset held by any holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Parent Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the holders of the Notes by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Parent Guarantor in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of the Parent Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Parent Guarantor, be turned over to the holders of the Notes in the exact form received by the Parent Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Parent Guarantor to the holders of the Notes, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

Section 13.9. Marshalling. No holder of a Note shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of the Parent Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes and this Agreement or the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the Parent Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

Section 13.10. Transfer of Notes. All rights of any holder of a Note under this Section 13 shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of any Note held by such holder whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Parent Guarantor under this Section 13 or to the Issuer.

Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 1(a) or Schedule 1(b), as applicable. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Nothing in this Section 15.3 shall require any holder to provide information that is confidential or

Each Constituent Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 20 shall not prohibit either Constituent Company or any other Purchaser or holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it

-46-

SECTION 21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (1) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (2) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21, (3) any other holder of any Note, (4) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (5) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of a Constituent Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (6) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (7) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (8) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (i) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (ii) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (iii) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (iv) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by a Constituent Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Constituent Companies embodying this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to a Constituent Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise

-47-

pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and such Constituent Company, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

SECTION 22. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Constituent Companies, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Constituent Companies of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

SECTION 23. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 23.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2, neither Constituent Company may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder.

Section 23.4. Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Section 23.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

(a) Each Constituent Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Constituent Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Each Constituent Company agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(d) Nothing in this Section 23.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against a Constituent Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

We have further assumed, with your consent, the Parent has duly taken such internal actions as may be necessary to enable it to act in its corporate capacity as managing member of the Issuer.

Except as otherwise stated herein, as to factual matters, we have, with your consent, relied upon the foregoing and upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Note Parties and others, including the representations and warranties of the Note Parties in the Note Documents. We have not independently verified such factual matters.

Except as otherwise stated herein, we are opining as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the federal laws of the United States, the internal laws of the State of New York, in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this letter, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”), and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Except as otherwise stated herein, our opinions are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable to private placements of debt securities. Various matters concerning the laws of Maryland are addressed in the opinion of Xxxxxxx LLP, which has been separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters. We express no opinion as to any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the subject transaction because of the legal or regulatory status of any parties to the Note Documents or the legal or regulatory status of any of their affiliates.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, as of the date hereof:

S-4.4(a)(1)-2

1. The Issuer is a limited liability company under the DLLCA with limited liability company power and authority to enter into the Note Agreement and the Notes and to perform its obligations thereunder. With your consent, based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that the Issuer is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. Each Initial Subsidiary Guarantor is a limited liability company under the DLLCA, with the limited liability company power and authority to enter into the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder. With your consent, based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that each Initial Subsidiary Guarantor is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Note Documents to which each of the Issuer and the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action of the Issuer and the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, and each of the Note Documents to which each of the Issuer and the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors is a party has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Issuer and the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be.

4. Each of the Note Documents is the legally valid and binding agreement of each Note Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Note Party in accordance with its terms.

5. (a) The execution and delivery by each Note Party of the Note Documents to which it is a party does not on the date hereof and (b) the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Issuer, and the issuance of any guarantee thereof by the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the Note Documents do not, and the performance of the obligations under the Note Documents will not, on the date hereof:

(i) violate the Operating LLC Agreement or Certificate of Formation of the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantor Operating Agreements or Certificates of Formation of the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable;

(ii) result in the breach of or a default under any of the Specified Agreements;

(iii) violate any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Note Parties (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, assuming the Issuer complies with the provisions of the Note Documents relating to the use of proceeds) or the DLLCA; or

(iv) require any consents, approvals or authorizations to be obtained by the Note Parties from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Note Parties with, any governmental authority under any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Note Parties or the DLLCA, as applicable, that have not been obtained or made.

S-4.4(a)(1)-3

6. None of the Parent, the Issuer or any Initial Subsidiary Guarantor is required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

7. No registration of the Notes or any guarantee thereof pursuant to the Note Documents under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is required for the purchase of the Notes by the Purchasers. We express no opinion, however, as to when or under what circumstances any Notes initially purchased by you may be reoffered or resold.

Our opinions are subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification or exculpation of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or exculpation or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion with respect to (a) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law (except for the validity under the laws of the State of New York, but subject to mandatory choice of law rules and constitutional limitations, of provisions in the Note Documents which expressly choose New York as the governing law for the Note Documents), jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief, (c) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (d) provisions purporting to make a guarantor primarily liable rather than as a surety, (e) provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation and (f) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect. We express no opinion with respect to (i) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (ii) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights and restrictions upon non-written modifications and waivers; (iii) covenants not to compete; (iv) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (v) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (vi) grants of setoff rights; (vii) proxies, powers and trusts; and (viii) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property. We express no opinion or confirmation as to federal or state securities laws (except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraphs 6 and 7 of this letter as to federal securities laws), tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, pension or employee benefit laws, usury laws (other than any statute, rule or regulation of the State of New York), environmental laws, margin regulations (except as set forth in numbered paragraph 5(iii) of this letter), the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or stock exchange rules (without limiting other laws excluded by customary practice).

S-4.4(a)(1)-4

With your consent, for purposes of the opinion rendered in numbered paragraph 7 of this letter, we have assumed that the representations and agreements made by each of you and each of the Note Parties contained in the Note Documents are accurate and have been and will be complied with.

With your consent, we have assumed (i) that the Note Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Issuer and the Initial Subsidiary Guarantors; (ii) that the Note Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Note Parties, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms; and (iii) that the status of the Note Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (a) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (b) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders or (c) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent we have specifically opined as to such matters with respect to the Note Parties herein.

With your consent, we have also assumed (a) that the Parent is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland and is in good standing with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Note Documents to which it is a party, and (b) that such Note Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Parent, and duly executed and delivered by the Parent.

This letter is furnished only to you in your capacity as purchasers under the Note Agreement and is solely for the benefit of the Purchasers in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph. This letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to, or relied upon by any other person, firm or other entity for any purpose (including any person, firm or other entity that acquires Notes or any interest therein from you) without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion. We hereby consent to reliance hereon by any future transferee of your interest in any Note pursuant to a transfer that is made and consented to in accordance with the express provisions of Section 14.2 of the Note Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (i) this letter speaks only as of the date hereof, (ii) we have no responsibility or obligation to update this letter, to consider its applicability or correctness to other than its addressee(s), or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, and (iii) any such reliance by a future transferee must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of transfer, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the transferee at such time. In addition, we also hereby consent to your furnishing a copy of this letter to: (i) governmental regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over any person permitted to rely on this letter (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (ii) to attorneys as needed in connection with any legal action arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents to which a person permitted to rely on this letter is a party, (iii) to your counsel and auditors and (iv) as required by any order of any court or governmental authority; provided, however, that no such person shall be entitled to rely on this letter.

FORM OF OPINION OF MARYLAND COUNSEL

FOR THE PARENT GUARANTOR

[LETTERHEAD OF XXXXXXX LLP]

January 10, 2017

The Purchasers party to the

Agreement referred to below

Re: Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have served as Maryland counsel for Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with certain matters of Maryland law arising out of the sale and issuance by Sunstone Hotel Partnership LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), of the following series of its notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”): (a) $120,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 4.69% Series A Guaranteed Senior Notes, due January 10, 2026 and (b) $120,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 4.79% Series B Guaranteed Senior Notes, due January 10, 2028, pursuant to the Note and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2016 (the “Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, the Company and the purchasers of the Senior Notes listed in the Purchaser Schedule thereto (the “Purchasers”). This opinion is being delivered to you at the request of the Company in connection with Section 4.4(a)(2) of the Agreement. This firm did not participate in the negotiation or drafting of the Agreement.

In connection with our representation of the Company, and as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Documents”):

1. The charter of the Company (the “Charter”), certified by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”);

2. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended (the “Bylaws”), certified as of the date hereof by an officer of the Company;

3. A certificate, as of January __, 2017, of the SDAT as to the good standing of the Company;

4. Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), or a duly authorized committee of the Board, relating to the authorization of the execution, delivery and performance by the Company and the Issuer of the Agreement, certified as of the date hereof by an officer of the Company;

5. The Agreement;

SCHEDULE 4.4(a)(2)
(to Note and Guarantee Agreement)

6. A certificate executed by an officer of the Company, dated as of the date hereof; and

7. Such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to express the opinion set forth below, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein.

In expressing the opinion set forth below, we have assumed the following:

1. Each individual executing any of the Documents, whether on behalf of such individual or another person, is legally competent to do so.

2. Each individual executing any of the Documents on behalf of a party (other than the Company) is duly authorized to do so.

3. Each of the parties (other than the Company) executing any of the Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Documents to which such party is a signatory, and such party’s obligations set forth therein are legal, valid and binding and are enforceable in accordance with all stated terms.

4. All Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic. All Documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conform to the original documents. All signatures on all Documents are genuine. All public records reviewed or relied upon by us or on our behalf are true and complete. All representations, warranties, statements and information as to factual maters (other than those facts constituting conclusions of law on matters on which we opine herein) contained in the Documents are true and complete. There has been no oral or written modification of or amendment to any of the Documents, and there has been no waiver of any provision of any of the Documents, by action or omission of the parties or otherwise.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Maryland and is in good standing with the SDAT.

2. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver the Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder.

3. The execution and delivery of the Agreement, and the performance by the Company and the Issuer of each of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, in its own capacity and in its capacity as managing member of the Issuer. The Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

4. The execution and delivery by the Company, in its own capacity and in its capacity as managing member of the Issuer, of the Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, did not and will not conflict with or constitute a breach of

S-4.4(a)(2)-2

(a) the Charter or the Bylaws, or (b) any Maryland law, rule or regulation or any order of any Maryland governmental authority (other than any law, rule, regulation or order in connection with the securities laws of the State of Maryland, as to which no opinion is hereby expressed).

5. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of or filing with any Maryland governmental authority was required to be made or obtained by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company, in its own capacity and in its capacity as managing member of the Issuer, of the Agreement or will be required for the performance of its obligations under the Agreement, except such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and filings as may have been made, waived or obtained, if any (except that no opinion is expressed herein with respect to the applicability or effect of the securities laws of the State of Maryland).

The foregoing opinion is limited to Maryland law and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. We express no opinion as to the applicability or effect of federal or state securities laws, including the securities laws of the State of Maryland, or as to federal or state laws regarding fraudulent transfers or the laws, codes or regulations of any municipality or other local jurisdiction. We express no opinion with respect to the actions which might be required under the organizational documents of the Issuer for the Issuer to authorize, execute, deliver or perform the Agreement or issue the Senior Notes. We note that the Agreement provides that it shall be governed by the laws of a state other than the State of Maryland. To the extent that any matter as to which our opinion is expressed herein would be governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland, we do not express any opinion on such matter. Our opinion expressed in paragraph 4(b) above is based upon our consideration of only those Maryland laws, rules or regulations and orders of Maryland governmental authorities, if any, which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type referred to in such paragraph. Our opinion expressed in paragraph 5 above is based upon our consideration of only those consents, approvals, authorizations and orders of and filings with Maryland governmental authorities, if any, which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type referred to in such paragraph. We call your attention to the fact that, in connection with the delivery of this opinion, we have not ordered or reviewed judgment, lien or any other searches of public or private records of the Company or its properties. The opinion expressed herein is subject to the effect of any judicial decision which may permit the introduction of parol evidence to modify the terms or the interpretation of agreements.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the matters specifically set forth herein and no other opinion shall be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof.

S-4.4(a)(2)-3

This opinion is being furnished to you solely for your benefit. Accordingly, subject to the following sentences, this opinion may not be relied upon by, quoted in any manner to, or delivered to any other person or entity (other than Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel to the Company and the Issuer, in connection with the opinion to be issued by it of even date herewith relating to the sale and issuance of the Senior Notes) without, in each instance, our prior written consent. This opinion may also be relied upon by your permitted successors and assigns (collectively, the “Future Recipients”), and such Future Recipients may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them and had been delivered to them on the date hereof; provided, however, that any such reliance by a Future Recipient must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time, including any changes in law or facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by such Future Recipient at such time. This opinion may be delivered (but may not be relied upon by any recipient pursuant to this sentence) (i) to potential successors and assigns, (ii) in connection with any judicial or arbitration process, (iii) to your counsel and to your independent auditors, and (iv) to any governmental or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you, including, without limitation, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, in each case, without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

S-4.4(a)(2)-4
