The Memorandum, together with all public filings of the Parent made with the SEC since December 31, 2015, fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Parent, the Issuer and the Subsidiaries. The Memorandum, the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers, including any public filings made with the SEC by the Parent since December 31, 2015, in each case identified in Schedule 5.3 hereof (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided that, with respect to projections, estimates and other forward-looking information, the Issuer represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since December 31, 2015, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary except changes that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) as of the date hereof complete and correct lists of (i) of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar Equity Interests outstanding owned by the Issuer and each Subsidiary and whether such Subsidiary is an Initial Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) the Issuer’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries and (iii) the directors and senior officers of the Parent and the Issuer.

(b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar Equity Interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Issuer or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien that is prohibited by this Agreement.

(c) Each Subsidiary is a corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity and, where applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate, limited partnership, limited liability company or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(d) No Subsidiary of the Issuer is subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes and customary limitations imposed by the terms of agreements governing Non-Recourse Indebtedness) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar Equity Interests of such Subsidiary.

Section 5.5. Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Issuer has delivered or made available to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of such financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes). The Parent and its Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.

Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Parent of this Agreement, the Issuer of this Agreement and the Notes and each Initial Subsidiary Guarantor of the Subsidiary Guaranty will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Parent, the Issuer or any Initial Subsidiary Guarantor under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, shareholders agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which the Parent, the Issuer or any Initial Subsidiary Guarantor is bound or by which the Parent, the Issuer or any Initial Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Parent, the Issuer or any Initial Subsidiary Guarantor or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Parent, the Issuer or any Initial Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 5.7. Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by (a) the Parent of this Agreement or (b) the Issuer of this Agreement and the Notes, in each case except for consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, filings and declarations which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect.

Section 5.8. Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) All Material litigation affecting the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary is disclosed in “Part I—Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of the Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and listed in Schedule 5.3 hereto. Except as disclosed thereon, there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the

Issuer, threatened in writing against or affecting the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary or any property of the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) None of the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), which default or violation could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9. Taxes. Each of the Parent, the Issuer and each Subsidiary has filed all material tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Issuer knows of no reasonable basis for any other tax or assessment that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each of the Parent, the Issuer and the Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate in all Material respects.

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 (provided that no Make-Whole Amount shall be due if such Notes are prepaid during the last 30 days prior to the Maturity Date of such Notes). The Issuer will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than ten 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 17. 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, if any, 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. Any such notice of prepayment delivered in connection with a refinancing, the proceeds of which are to be used to make such prepayment, may be made, if expressly so stated in such notice to be, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing and may be revoked by the Issuer in the event such refinancing is not consummated; provided that such notice of revocation is in writing. 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, if any, as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. (a) In the case of each partial prepayment of 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.

(b) Any prepayments pursuant to Section 8.7 shall be applied only to the Notes of the holders electing to participate in such prepayment.

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, subject to the penultimate sentence of Section 8.2, 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 of its Affiliates 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 this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to a written offer to purchase any outstanding Notes made by the Issuer or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of the Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. 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 ten Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amounts of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Issuer shall promptly notify the remaining holders of Notes 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 five 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.

“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.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% 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 (a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) 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 (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) 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% 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 (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) 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 (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) 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.

“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. Change of Control.

(a) Notice of Change of Control. The Issuer will, no later than ten Business Days after any Responsible Officer of the Issuer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change of Control give written notice of such Change of Control to each holder of Notes. If a Change of Control Prepayment Event has occurred, such notice shall contain and constitute an offer by the Issuer to

prepay Notes as described in paragraph (b) of this Section 8.7 and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in paragraph (e) of this Section 8.7.

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by paragraph (a) of this Section 8.7 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date (which date shall be a Business Day) specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). Such date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 45th 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 ten Business Days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7, or to accept an offer as to all of the Notes held by the holder, in each case on or before the tenth Business Day preceding the Proposed Prepayment Date 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 thereon (but without any make-whole, premium, penalty or Make-Whole Amount whatsoever or howsoever described).

(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: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid; (iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of notice have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or proposed date of the Change of Control Prepayment Event.

Section 8.8. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y), 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 (y) 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.

The Issuer covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Laws. Without limiting Section 10.4, the Issuer will, and will cause the Parent and each Subsidiary to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, 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.

Section 9.2. Insurance. The Issuer will, and will cause the Parent and each Subsidiary to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, 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 to the extent necessary to ensure that non-maintenance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Issuer will, and will cause the Parent and each Subsidiary 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 in all Material respects; provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Parent, the Issuer 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 Issuer 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. The Issuer will, and will cause the Parent and each Subsidiary to, file all material 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, the Issuer or any Subsidiary, provided that none of the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Parent, the Issuer or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Parent, the Issuer or such Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance

with GAAP on the books of the Parent, the Issuer or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5. Legal Existence, Etc. Subject to Section 10.2, the Issuer will, and will cause the Parent to, at all times preserve and keep its limited partnership or corporate existence, as the case may be, in full force and effect. Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.6, the Issuer will, and will cause the Parent to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the limited liability company, limited partnership or other organizational existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Parent, the Issuer, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Parent, the Issuer and Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Parent or the Issuer, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Issuer will, and will cause the Parent and each Subsidiary to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and in conformity in all material respects with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Parent, the Issuer or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The Issuer will, and will cause the Parent and each Subsidiary to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect in all material respects all transactions and dispositions of assets. the Parent, the Issuer and the 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 the Issuer will, and will cause the Parent and each Subsidiary to, continue to maintain such system.

Section 9.7. Pari Passu Ranking. The Issuer will ensure that its payment obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and the payment obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guaranty, will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer and such Guarantor, as applicable.

Section 9.8. Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) The Issuer may, and may cause the Parent to, at its election (but subject to Section 9.8(c)), at any time or from time to time, cause any Subsidiary which is not then a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary Guarantor if the following conditions are satisfied:

enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms, all as subject to any exceptions and assumptions of the type set forth in the opinions referenced in Section 4.4 and as are reasonable under the circumstances;

(iii) to the extent required by or otherwise delivered pursuant to a Principal Credit Facility, each holder of a Note shall have received a certificate of the Secretary (or other appropriate officer or person) of the new Subsidiary Guarantor as to due authorization, charter documents, board resolutions and the incumbency of officers and containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor to the same effect, mutatis mutandis, as those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.6, 5.7, 5.19, 5.21 and 5.22 of this Agreement (but with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor and such Subsidiary Guaranty rather than the Issuer);

(iv) to the extent required to be paid pursuant to a Principal Credit Facility, all reasonable fees and expenses of the holders of the Notes, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of not more than one special counsel representing all of the holders of the Notes in all applicable jurisdictions, incurred in connection with the execution and delivery of the Subsidiary Guaranty shall be paid or payable by the Issuer; and

(v) to the extent required by or otherwise delivered pursuant to a Principal Credit Facility, each holder of a Note shall have received a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer that at such time and immediately after giving effect to such Subsidiary Guaranty no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Issuer shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Parent to at all times remain qualified as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Code and to remain in compliance in all material respects with all provisions necessary to the qualification of the Parent as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Code.

Section 9.10. Most Favored Lender Status. (a) If at any time the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party to, shall enter into or shall assume or otherwise become bound or obligated under any Principal Credit Facility (or any amendment thereto) that contains an Additional Covenant, then the Issuer shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice in respect of such Additional Covenant. Such Additional Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such Additional Covenant shall have become effective under such Principal Credit Facility (unless such date is prior to the date of the Closing, in which case such covenant will be deemed incorporated effective as of the date of the Closing) and any event of default in respect of any such Additional Covenant so included herein shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under Section 11(c) (after giving effect to any grace or cure provisions under such Principal Credit Facility). Thereafter, upon the request of any holder of a Note, the Issuer shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by such holder to further evidence any of the foregoing.

(b) (i) Any Additional Covenant incorporated into this Agreement (herein referred to as an “Incorporated Covenant”) pursuant to this Section 9.10 shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments made to such Additional Covenant under the applicable Principal Credit Facility (provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and the amendment of such Incorporated Covenant would make such covenant less restrictive on the Issuer, then the prior written consent thereto of the Required Holders shall be required as a condition to such amendment) and (ii) any Incorporated Covenant shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Additional Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from the applicable Principal Credit Facility or such applicable Principal Credit Facility shall be terminated (provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists, then the prior written consent thereto of the Required Holders shall be required as a condition to such deletion or removal); provided, however, that if any fee or other consideration is paid to the lenders under such Principal Credit Facility for such amendment or deletion, the equivalent of such fee or other consideration shall be paid to the holders of the Notes upon the effectiveness of such amendment or deletion. Upon the occurrence of any event described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, upon the request of the Issuer or any holder of Notes, the holders of Notes and the Issuer shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Issuer or a holder of Notes, as the case may be, evidencing the amendment of any such Incorporated Covenant. Upon the occurrence of any event described in clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, upon the request of the Issuer, the holders of Notes shall enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Issuer evidencing the deletion and termination of any such Incorporated Covenant.

(c) “Most Favored Lender Notice” means, in respect of any Additional Covenant, a written notice to each of the holders of the Notes (and in the case of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner, to such beneficial owner, rather than such nominee, on the date of such notice) delivered promptly, and in any event within ten Business Days after the inclusion of such Additional Covenant in any Principal Credit Facility, from a Responsible Officer referring to the provisions of this Section 9.10 and setting forth a reasonably detailed description of such Additional Covenant and related explanatory calculations, as applicable.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the financial covenants herein or the related definitions used therein contained in this Agreement as in effect on the date of this Agreement be deemed or construed to be modified, excluded or terminated by operation of the terms of this Section 9.10, and, in the event an Additional Covenant is modified, excluded or terminated under the applicable Principal Credit Facility, only any such Incorporated Covenant and related definitions used therein shall be so modified, excluded or terminated pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that, if at any time after the date of this Agreement a change or modification, or proposed change or modification, of an accounting principle or standard, including GAAP, results or would result in a classification or reclassification of an obligation, including in connection with the implementation of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any successor provision thereto, and the Primary Credit Facility is amended as a result, each financial covenant herein and the related definitions used therein shall be deemed automatically amended, mutatis mutandis, to reflect all changes and modifications made to the respective covenant under the Primary Credit Facility that corresponds to such financial covenant. In connection with any amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph (d), the Issuer shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice which meets the requirements of paragraph (c) of this Section 9.10.

For the avoidance of doubt, as used in this paragraph (d), the term “financial covenant” shall mean the covenants of the Issuer contained in Sections 10.6 through 10.12 hereof as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

Section 9.11. Parent Covenants. The Issuer shall cause the Parent to comply with the following covenants:

(a) The Parent shall have as its sole business purpose owning ownership interests of the Issuer, performing duties as the general partner of the Issuer, making equity investments in the Issuer and doing and performing any and all acts and things in service of the foregoing, and shall not engage in any business or activities other than those described in this Section 9.11(a); provided that the Parent may make additional investments in other entities at any time; provided further, that if investments by the Parent (exclusive of ownership interests in the Issuer) in the aggregate at any time exceed 5% of the Parent’s gross assets (defined as consolidated total assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries plus accumulated depreciation), the Issuer shall (i) so notify the holders of the Notes in connection with its delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 7.1(a) and (b), making reference in such notice to this Section 9.11(a), and (ii) upon the written request of the Required Holders, thereafter provide to each holder of a Note which is an Institutional Investor, for such time as the Parent’s investments (exclusive of ownership interests in the Issuer) exceed such threshold (together with each delivery of financial statements required by Sections 7.1(a) and (b)) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet and an unaudited consolidated statement of operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, excluding footnotes, for the relevant date and period.

(b) The Parent shall promptly contribute or otherwise downstream to the Issuer any net assets received by the Parent from third parties (including, without limitation, the proceeds from any Equity Offering).

(c) The Parent shall not make or permit to be made, by voluntary or involuntary means, any transfer or encumbrance of its interest in the Issuer, or any dilution of its interest in the Issuer; provided, however, that the interests of the Parent in the Issuer may be diluted as a direct result of the acquisition by the Issuer or its Subsidiaries of additional Real Estate, either by acquiring title to such Real Estate directly in the name of the Issuer or any such Subsidiary or by acquiring direct or indirect ownership interests in a partnership, corporation or limited liability company that owns directly such Real Estate (subject in all respects to compliance by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries with the terms of this Agreement), the sales price of which is paid in whole or in part by the issuance of additional interests in the Issuer so long as the Parent at all times owns not less than 33% of the economic, voting and beneficial interest in the Issuer and shall be the sole general partner of the Issuer; provided further, that this paragraph shall not apply to any Plan of the Parent or any unit redemptions of the Issuer by The Carlyle Group.

(d) The Parent shall not dissolve, liquidate or otherwise wind up its business, affairs or assets.

SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

Section 12.1. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer described in Section 11(g), (h) or (i) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) 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 (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon in respect of any Notes at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case 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 Note Guaranty, 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

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, any Note Guaranty 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 Issuer under Section 15, the Issuer will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Issuer in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Issuer will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

Nothing in this Section 14.3 shall require any holder to provide information that is confidential or proprietary to such holder unless the Issuer is required to obtain such information under FATCA and, in such event, the Issuer shall treat any such information it receives as confidential. Each holder agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification under then-current law or promptly notify the Issuer in writing of its legal inability to do so.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon, by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note.

Section 17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

The Issuer will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 17 or any Note Guaranty to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Issuer will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Note Guaranty or any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of a Note even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 or any Note Guaranty applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Issuer without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.

The Issuer 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 19 shall not prohibit the Issuer or any holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Parent, the Issuer 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 the Parent, the Issuer 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 the Parent, the Issuer 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 (i) 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 and such recipient is notified of its obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) 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 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Parent or the Issuer (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) 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 (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) 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 any Note Guaranty (provided with respect to subclauses (w) (except where required disclosure of the purchase of the Notes is to be made to any supervisory or regulatory body during the normal course of its exercise of its regulatory or supervisory function over such Purchaser as an insurance company and consistent with such Purchaser’s usual practice), (x) and (y) that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or order, such Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to notify the Issuer of such pending disclosure and, to the extent practicable, the opportunity to seek a protective order or to pursue such further legal action as may be necessary to preserve the privileged nature and confidentiality of the Confidential Information. 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 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Issuer 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 Issuer embodying this Section 20.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise 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 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Issuer, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

SECTION 21. 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 Issuer, 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 21), 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 Issuer of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), 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 22. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 22.1. 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, other than as set forth in Section 10.2, the Issuer may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of Section 9.10, if at any time any adopted change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any this Agreement, and either the Issuer or the Required Holders shall so request, the holders of

the Notes and the Parent and the Issuer shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Holders and in any event for a period not to exceed 90 days following such initial request); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Issuer shall provide to the holders of the Notes financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

Section 22.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.4. 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.

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, (b) subject to Section 22.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules to, this Agreement and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Section 22.6. 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.

Section 22.7. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) Each of the Parent and the Issuer 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, the Issuer 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.

(b) Each of the Parent and the Issuer agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

(c) Each of the Parent and the Issuer consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each of the Parent and the Issuer agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) 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 U.S. Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(d) Nothing in this Section 22.7 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 the Issuer in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(e) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

SECTION 23. PARENT GUARANTY.

Section 23.1. Parent Guaranty. The Parent hereby, jointly and severally, together with the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guaranty, absolutely and unconditionally guaranties to the holders from time to time of the Notes: (i) the full and prompt payment of the principal of all of the Notes and of the interest thereon at the rate therein stipulated and the Make-Whole Amount (if any), when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether by lapse of time, upon redemption or prepayment, by extension or by acceleration or declaration, or otherwise (including (to the extent legally enforceable) interest due on overdue payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount (if any) or interest at the rate set forth in the Notes) and all other amounts from time to time owing by the Issuer under this Agreement and under the Notes (including, without limitation, costs and expenses), (ii) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Issuer of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or observed by the Issuer under the terms of the Notes and this Agreement and (iii) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any holder of the Notes, of all costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including attorneys’ fees) and such expenses, if any, as shall have been expended or incurred in the protection or enforcement of any right or privilege under the Notes or this Agreement, including, without limitation, in any consultation or action in connection therewith, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 15.1 of this Agreement. The guaranty of the Notes herein provided for is a guaranty of the immediate and timely payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and the Make-Whole Amount (if any) as and when the same are due and payable and shall not be deemed to be a guaranty only of the collectability of such payments and therefore each holder of the Notes may xxx the Parent directly upon such principal, interest and Make-Whole Amount (if any) becoming so due and payable.

Section 23.2. Obligations Absolute and Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until the entire principal, interest and Make-Whole Amount (if any) on the Notes and all other sums due pursuant to Section 23.1 shall have been paid, and such obligations shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any circumstance or occurrence, including, without limitation, the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of the Parent:

(a) the extension of the time for payment of any principal of, or interest (or Make-Whole Amount, if any) on any Note owing or payable on such Note or of the time of or for performance of any obligations, covenants or agreements under or arising out of this Agreement or the extension or the renewal of any thereof;

(b) the modification or amendment of any obligation, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or the Notes;

(c) the power or authority or the lack of power or authority of the Issuer to issue the Notes or to execute and deliver this Agreement;

(d) the existence or continuance of the Issuer as a legal entity;

(e) any failure to present the Notes for payment or to demand payment thereof, or to give the Issuer or the Parent notice of dishonor for non-payment of the Notes, when and as the same may become due and payable, or notice of any failure on the part of the Issuer to do any act or thing or to perform or to keep any covenant or agreement by it to be done, kept or performed under the terms of the Notes or this Agreement;

(f) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the holders of the Notes to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on the holders of the Notes in this Agreement or the Notes or any other act or acts on the part of the holders from time to time of the Notes;

(g) the acceptance of any security or any guaranty, the advance of additional money to the Issuer, or any sale, release, substitution or exchange of any security;

(h) the waiver, compromise, settlement, release or termination of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Issuer contained in this Agreement or the payment, performance or observance thereof;

(i) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization or arrangement under bankruptcy or similar laws, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar procedures affecting the Issuer, the Parent or any of the assets of any of them, or any allegation or contest of the validity of this Agreement or the disaffirmance of this Agreement in any such proceeding;

(j) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Notes or this Agreement, or the obligations of the Issuer or the Parent under the Notes or this Agreement;

(k) the default or failure of the Parent or the Issuer fully to perform any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or the failure to give notice thereof;

(l) the failure of the Parent to receive any benefit or consideration from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement;

(m) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Parent or the Issuer in respect of the obligations of the Parent or the Issuer under this Agreement (other than payment and performance in full);

provided 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 paragraph that the obligations of the Parent hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment to the holders thereof of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount (if any) and interest on the Notes, and of all other sums due and owing to the holders of the Notes

pursuant to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of such payments. All rights of the holder of any Note pursuant thereto or to this Agreement may be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time and shall be considered to be transferred or assigned upon the transfer of such Note, whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Parent or the Issuer. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood 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 the Notes or this Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Issuer under the Notes or this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default.

Section 23.3. Subrogation. To the extent of any payments made under this Agreement, the Parent shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of the Notes receiving such payments, but the Parent covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation shall be subordinate in right of payment to the rights of any holders of the Notes for which full payment has not been made or provided for and, to that end, the Parent agrees not to claim or enforce any such right of subrogation or any right of set-off or any other right which may arise on account of any payment made by the Parent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any holder of the Notes against the Issuer or the Parent, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statue or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer or the Parent, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Notes owned by Persons other than the Parent or any of its Affiliates and all other sums due or payable under this Agreement have been fully paid and discharged or payment therefor has been provided. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the indefeasible cash payment in full of the Notes and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to the holders of the Notes to be credited and applied to the amounts due or to become due with respect to the Notes and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured.

Section 23.4. Preference. The Parent agrees that to the extent the Issuer or any other Person on behalf of the Issuer makes any payment on the Notes, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, liquidator, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Parent’s obligations hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of the Parent hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any holder of the Notes from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person.

Section 23.5. Marshalling. None of the holders of the Notes shall be under any obligation (a) to xxxxxxxx any assets in favor of the Parent or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes or the obligation of the Parent hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lessen the Parent’s burden or any right to which the Parent hereby expressly waives. The obligations of the Parent under this Agreement rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of the Parent which is not secured or the subject of any statutory trust or preference or which is not expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness.

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT, dated as of June 15, 2016 (this “Guaranty Agreement”), is made by each of the undersigned (each an “Initial Subsidiary Guarantor” and, together with each of the other signatories hereto, the “Initial Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with any other entities from time to time party hereto pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof, the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Purchasers (as defined below) and the other holders from time to time of the Notes (as defined below). The Purchasers and such other holders are herein collectively called the “holders” and individually a “holder.”

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

I. Each of CoreSite, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”), and CoreSite Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Parent”), is entering into a Note Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2016 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with the Persons listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchasers”) simultaneously with the delivery of this Guaranty Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings specified in the Note Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

II. The Issuer has authorized the issuance of, and proposes to issue and sell pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.19% Senior Notes due June 15, 2023 (the “Initial Notes”). The Initial Notes and any other Notes that may from time to time be issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement (including any notes issued in substitution for any of the Notes) are herein collectively called the “Notes” and each individually a “Note.”

III. It is a condition to the purchase of the Notes under the Note Purchase Agreement that this Guaranty Agreement shall have been executed and delivered by each Initial Subsidiary Guarantor and shall be in full force and effect.

IV. Each Guarantor will receive direct and/or indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement. The governing body of each Guarantor has determined that the incurrence of such obligations is in the best interests of such Guarantor.

NOW THEREFORE, in order to induce, and in consideration of, the execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement and the purchase of the Notes by each of the Purchasers, each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with, and represents and warrants to each of the holders as follows:

SECTION 1. GUARANTY.

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors guarantees to each holder the due and punctual payment in full of (a) the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any other amounts due under, the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise) and (b) any other sums which may become due under the terms and provisions of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement (all such obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) above are herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guaranty in the preceding sentence is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectibility and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Issuer or any other guarantor of the Notes (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor hereunder) or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Issuer shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations when due, each Guarantor agrees to pay the same when due to the holders entitled thereto, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, in lawful money of the United States of America, pursuant to the requirements for payment specified in the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement. Each default in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. Each Guarantor agrees that the Notes issued in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement may (but need not) make reference to this Guaranty Agreement.

Each Guarantor agrees to pay and to indemnify and save each holder harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) which such holder may incur as a result of (x) any breach by such Guarantor, by any other Guarantor or by the Issuer or the Parent of any warranty, covenant, term or condition in, or the occurrence of any default under, this Guaranty Agreement, the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, together with all expenses resulting from the compromise or defense of any claims or liabilities arising as a result of any such breach or default, (y) any legal action commenced to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty Agreement, the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement and (z) enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) the provisions of this Guaranty Agreement; provided that the foregoing indemnity obligations shall not expand the scope of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, the scope of costs and expenses covered by this sentence shall be no more than the costs and expenses reimbursable under the Note Purchase Agreement.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Guarantor’s liability hereunder is joint and several with each other Guarantor and any other Person(s) who may guarantee the obligations and Indebtedness under and in respect of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or any other provision of this Guaranty Agreement, if at any time the Guaranteed Obligations exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount determined as

of such time with regard to such Guarantor, then this Guaranty Agreement shall be automatically amended to reduce the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor to the Maximum Guaranteed Amount. Such amendment shall not require the written consent of any Guarantor or any holder and shall be deemed to have been automatically consented to by each Guarantor and each holder. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount without affecting or impairing the obligation of such Guarantor. “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” means as of the date of determination with respect to a Guarantor, the lesser of (a) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations outstanding on such date and (b) the maximum amount that would not render such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty Agreement subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) or any comparable provision of applicable state law.

SECTION 2. OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim such Guarantor may have against the Issuer or any holder or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not such Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement (it being agreed that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement as so amended, modified, supplemented or restated) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance or release of any security for the Notes or the addition, substitution or release of any other Guarantor or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Issuer or its property; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor or of the Issuer into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Guarantor or of the Issuer to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Issuer for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Guarantor; (f) any failure on the part of any holder to obtain, maintain, register or otherwise perfect any security; or (g) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing), and in any event however material or prejudicial it may be to any Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights any Guarantor may otherwise have. Each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder.

SECTION 3. WAIVER.

Each Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any default by the

Issuer in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 2 hereof; (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of any holder against such Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Issuer, the Parent or any Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Issuer, the Parent or to any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Issuer; (c) any right to require any holder to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy including, without limitation, any right, power or remedy conferred in the Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes; (d) any requirement for diligence on the part of any holder; and (e) any other act or omission or thing or delay in doing any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 4. OBLIGATIONS UNIMPAIRED.

Each Guarantor authorizes the holders, without notice or demand to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor and without affecting its obligations hereunder, from time to time, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement: (a) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, all or any part of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement; (b) to change any of the representations, covenants, events of default or any other terms or conditions of or pertaining to the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, decreases or increases in amounts of principal, rates of interest, the Make-Whole Amount or any other obligation; (c) to take and hold security for the payment of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, for the performance of this Guaranty Agreement or otherwise for the Indebtedness guaranteed hereby and to exchange, enforce, waive, subordinate and release any such security; (d) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the holders in their sole discretion may determine; (e) to obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or release any other Guarantor or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person; and (g) to apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations owed hereunder. The holders shall have no obligation to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Issuer, such Guarantor or any other Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the holders.

If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of any Notes shall exist and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any holder to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other guarantors of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, such Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty Agreement and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the holder

thereof had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 5. SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION.

(a) Each Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Guaranty Agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity or any rights or recourse to any security for the Notes or this Guaranty Agreement unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuer or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in clause (a) of this Section 5, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the Required Holders so request in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement, any such Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement.

(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by any Guarantor in violation of any of the preceding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the holders and shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders in accordance with the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement and that its agreements set forth in this Guaranty Agreement (including this Section 5) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid an amount hereunder to any holder that is greater than the net value of the benefits received, directly or indirectly, by such paying Guarantor as a result of the issuance and sale of the Notes (such net value, its “Proportionate Share”), such paying Guarantor shall, subject to Section 5(a) and 5(b), be entitled to contribution from any Guarantor that has not paid its Proportionate Share of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any amount payable as a contribution under this Section 5(e) shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment is made by such Guarantor seeking contribution and each Guarantor acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder shall

constitute an asset of such Guarantor to which such contribution is owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the holders of the Notes hereunder or under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith, and each Guarantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for the full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 6. REINSTATEMENT OF GUARANTY.

This Guaranty Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any holder on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by a holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or any other guarantors, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Issuer or any other guarantors or any part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

Except as provided in Section 9.8 of the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty Agreement and all guarantees, covenants and agreements of each Guarantor contained herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash and shall be subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 6.

SECTION 12. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

SECTION 13. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

Section 13.1. Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in the fourth paragraph of Section 1 of this Guaranty Agreement, this Guaranty Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 1 through 6 or 11 or 13 hereof (except to the extent provided in the fourth paragraph of Section 1 or Section 11 of this Guaranty Agreement) or any defined term as used therein will be effective as to any holder unless consented to by such holder in writing.

Section 13.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. Each Guarantor will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. Each Guarantor will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.2 to each holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Guarantors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 13 by a holder that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to (i) the Parent, (ii) the Issuer, (iii) any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate or (iv) any other Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a tender offer for or merging with the

Issuer and/or any of its Affiliates, in each case in connection with such consent, shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 13.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 13 applies equally to all holders and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon each Guarantor without regard to whether any Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between a Guarantor and any holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder.

Section 13.4. Notes Held by Issuer, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty Agreement, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Parent, the Issuer or any Affiliate shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

SECTION 14. NOTICES.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid) or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

(b) if to any holder, to such holder at the addresses specified for such communications set forth in the Purchaser Schedule to the Note Purchase Agreement, or such other address as such holder shall have specified to the Guarantors in writing.

SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 15.1. Successors and Assigns; Joinder. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Guaranty Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or not. It is agreed and understood that any Person may become a Guarantor hereunder by executing a Guarantor Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and delivering the same to the

holders. Any such Person shall thereafter be a “Guarantor” for all purposes under this Guaranty Agreement.

Section 15.2. Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 15.3. 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 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.

The section and subsection headings in this Guaranty Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall neither be deemed to be a part of this Guaranty Agreement nor modify, define, expand or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof. All references herein to numbered sections, unless otherwise indicated, are to sections of this Guaranty Agreement. Words and definitions in the singular shall be read and construed as though in the plural and vice versa, and words in the masculine, neuter or feminine gender shall be read and construed as though in either of the other genders where the context so requires.

Section 15.4. Further Assurances. Each Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Required Holders may from time to time reasonably request in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement in order to effectuate fully the purposes of this Guaranty Agreement.

Section 15.5. Governing Law. This Guaranty 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.

Section 15.6. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) Each Guarantor 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 Guaranty Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor 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.

(b) Each Guarantor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 15.6(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 14 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to Section 14. Each Guarantor agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) 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.

(c) Nothing in this Section 15.6 shall affect the right of any holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders may have to bring proceedings against any Guarantor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d) THE GUARANTORS AND THE HOLDERS HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

Section 15.7. Reproduction of Documents; Execution. This Guaranty Agreement may be reproduced by any holder by any photographic, photo static, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such holder may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Guarantor 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 holder in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 15.7 shall not prohibit any Guarantor or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction. A facsimile or electronic transmission of the signature page of a Guarantor shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes.
