“1.7 LIBOR Amendment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrower Agent or Required Lenders notify Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower Agent) that Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any applicable interest period, because the LIBOR quote on the applicable screen page (or other source) used by Agent to determine LIBOR (“LIBOR Screen Rate”) is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(b) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date (“Scheduled Unavailability Date”) after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate will no longer be available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator satisfactory to Agent that will continue to provide LIBOR after the Scheduled Unavailability Date; or
(c) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR;
6
then, reasonably promptly after such determination or receipt of notice by Agent, Agent and Borrower Agent may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service selected by Agent from time to time in its discretion and may be periodically updated (“Adjustment” and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), and the amendment shall be effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after Agent posts the amendment to all Lenders and Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Required Lenders notify Agent that they (A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided, that in the case of clause (A), Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Agent.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, Agent will promptly notify Borrowers and Lenders. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (ii) the LIBOR component shall no longer be used in determining the U.S. Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a funding of, conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Loan (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a U.S. Base Rate Loan, a Canadian Base Rate Loan, a U.K. Base Rate Loan or a German Base Rate Loan (but in the case of any such pending request in relation to a LIBOR Loan for the U.K. Borrower or a German Borrower, if (a) that LIBOR Loan was denominated in British Pounds, Swiss Francs or Euros, the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have revoked any such pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of that LIBOR Loan, and the U.K. Borrower or German Borrower, as applicable, shall repay any such outstanding LIBOR Loan which was the subject of a continuation request, and (b) only if that LIBOR Loan was denominated in Dollars shall the Borrower Agent be deemed to have submitted a request for a U.K. Base Rate Loan or German Base Rate Loan, as applicable).
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, Agent shall have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.”

“2.6 Term Loans.
2.6.1. Term Loans to U.S. Borrowers. Each U.S. Lender agrees, severally (and not jointly) on a Pro Rata basis up to its Term Loan Commitment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and subject to Agent’s receipt, after the Second Amendment Effective Date, of an appraisal with respect to the Eligible Real Estate performed by an appraiser and on terms satisfactory to Agent, to make a one-time Term Loan to the U.S. Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from the Second Amendment Effective Date to September 30, 2020; provided, however, that such U.S. Lenders shall have no obligation to the U.S. Borrowers whatsoever to honor any request for a Term Loan on or after the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. The Term Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 3.1. The Term Loans shall, at the option of the Borrower Agent, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate Term Loans or LIBOR Term Loans. The Term Loans shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be secured by all of the U.S. Facility Collateral.

For clarification, once repaid, the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
2.6.2. Term Notes. The Term Loans made by each U.S. Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. At the request of any U.S. Lender, the U.S. Borrowers shall execute and deliver a promissory note to such Lender, evidencing its Term Loans.

Any unused Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on the date of the making of the Term Loans. Upon at least 10 days’ prior written notice to Agent from the Borrower Agent, U.S. Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Term Loan Commitments without premium or penalty. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.6.4 shall be irrevocable but may be conditioned on a refinancing or another material event.”

No Interest Period for a LIBOR Term Loan may be established that would require repayment before the end of an Interest Period in order to make any scheduled principal payment on Term Loans.”
(m) A new Section 3.2.6 is hereby added to the Loan Agreement immediately following Section 3.2.5 thereof to read as follows:
“3.2.6. U.S. Term Loan Fees. U.S. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of U.S. Lenders with Term Loan Commitments, a fee equal to the Term Loan Unused Commitment Fee Rate times the Term Loan Commitments during each month from the Second Amendment Effective Date to the earlier of (a) date of the making of the Term Loans or (b) Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the earlier of (x) date of the making of the Term Loans or (y) the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date.”
(n) Existing Section 3.2.6 of the Loan Agreement is hereby relabeled to be Section 3.2.7 of the Loan Agreement.
(o) In the second-to-last sentence of Section 3.4 of the Loan Agreement, the text “(or Lenders with outstanding Term Loans in the case of interest related to the Term Loans)” is hereby inserted immediately following the text “for the Pro Rata benefit of Applicable Lenders”.

Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (i) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested funding date in the case of Base Rate Term Loans and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested funding date in the case of LIBOR Term Loans. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Any such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable (subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.1.1(d)) and shall specify (A) the amount of the Term Loans to be borrowed (subject to the limits set forth herein), (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as a Base Rate Term Loan or a LIBOR Term Loan, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Term Loans, the duration of the

(r) The existing Section 4.1.2 to the Loan Agreement is hereby relabeled as clause (a) of Section 4.1.2 to the Loan Agreement.
(s) A new Section 4.1.2(b) is hereby added to the Loan Agreement to read as follows:

Agent shall endeavor to notify the U.S. Lenders with Term Loan Commitments of any Notice of Borrowing to request the Term Loans by 12:00 noon (Pacific time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed funding date. Each U.S. Lender with a Term Loan Commitment shall fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the requested funding date. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from such U.S. Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Term Loans as directed by Borrower Agent. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a U.S. Lender with a Term Loan Commitment that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing, Agent may assume that such U.S. Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to the applicable U.S. Borrower(s). If a U.S. Lender’s share of any such Borrowing is not received by Agent, then the U.S. Borrowers agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing.”
(t) Section 5.3 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

14.25.1. Covered Party. If a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. If a Covered Party or BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent
13
than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes if the Supported QFC and Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
14.25.2. Definitions. As used in this Section, (a) “BHC Act Affiliate” means an “affiliate,” as defined in and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. §1841(k); (b) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned in and interpreted in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and (c) “QFC” means a “qualified financial contract,” as defined in and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. §5390(c)(8)(D).”
(ii) Exhibit B (Assignment and Acceptance) to the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the Exhibit B attached hereto.
(jj) Exhibit C (Assignment Notice) to the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the Exhibit C attached hereto.
(kk) Schedule 1.1 (Commitments of Lenders) to the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the Schedule 1.1 attached hereto.

(c) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document to which any Obligor is a party (other than any such representations or warranties that, by their terms, are specifically made as of a date other than the date hereof) are correct on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof.

Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or a substantially similar electronic transmission shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of such agreement.
15
