Pricing Level	Ratio	Benchmark Revolving Credit Loans	Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans

Pricing Level 2	Greater than or equal to 40% but less than 45%	1.45%	0.45%

In the event that the Borrower shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate on or before the date required by §7.4(c), then, without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin shall be at Pricing Level 5 until such failure is cured within any applicable cure period, or waived in writing by the Majority Lenders, in which event the Applicable Margin shall adjust, if necessary, on the first day of the first month following receipt of such Compliance Certificate.

In the event that the Agent, REIT or the Borrower in good faith determines that any financial statements previously delivered were incorrect or inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (a) the Borrower shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Agent the corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (b) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Pricing Level for such higher Applicable Margin were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (c) the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days of demand thereof by the Agent pay to the Agent the accrued additional amount owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

Pricing Level	Credit Rating Level	Benchmark Revolving Credit Loans	Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans
I	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.725%	0.00%
II	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.775%	0.00%
III	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.850%	0.00%
IV	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	1.050%	0.05%
V	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	1.400%	0.40%

At such time as this subparagraph (b) is applicable, the Applicable Margin for each Base Rate Loan shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time, and the Applicable Margin for any Interest Period for all Benchmark Loans comprising part of the same borrowing shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect on the first day of such Interest Period; provided, however that no change in the Applicable Margin resulting from the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in such Credit Rating Level. From and after the first time that the Applicable Margin is based on REIT’s Credit Rating, the Applicable Margin shall no longer be calculated by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value.

Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made of the same Currency and Type and made by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of the Borrower set forth in §11 (and, in the case of any request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder on the Closing Date, §10) have been satisfied on the date of such request. The Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower or participate in Letter of Credit Liabilities in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the lesser of the amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the principal face amount of its Revolving Credit Note.

(b) The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Revolving Credit Lender in the principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Agent’s Record reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Revolving Credit Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due. By delivery of this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Note hereunder, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement or the “Revolving Credit Notes” described in the Existing Credit Agreement, which Indebtedness is instead allocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders as of the date hereof in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (it being acknowledged that the Indebtedness evidenced by the “Revolving Credit Notes” of the Exiting Lenders is being allocated among the Lenders), and is evidenced by this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Notes issued hereunder, and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall as of the date hereof make such adjustments to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Lenders so that such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans are consistent with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. Any and all Revolving Credit Notes issued on the Closing Date in connection with this Agreement to Lenders holding Revolving Credit Notes issued under the Existing Credit Agreement replace and are in lieu of such Revolving Credit Notes issued under the Existing Credit Agreement and each Exiting Lender shall return its “Revolving Credit Note” and “Term Loan Note” to the Agent promptly after the Closing Date for cancellation.

§2.2 Commitment to Lend Term Loan. In the event of the initial increase of the Total Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11 (the “Initial Term Increase”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Term Loan Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow on the applicable Commitment Increase Date (the “Initial Term Increase Date”) upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with §2.7, a Term Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in the maximum principal amount (after giving effect to all amounts requested) equal to the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and (ii) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the maximum amount which, when added to the sum of (1) the amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities and (3) the aggregate amount of all other Unsecured Indebtedness of REIT and its Subsidiaries, would not cause a violation of the covenants set forth in §§9.3 and 9.4; provided, that, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Term Loans shall be evidenced by the Term Loan Notes, dated as of the applicable Commitment Increase Date (except as otherwise provided in §18.3). One Term Loan Note shall be payable to each Term Loan Lender in the principal amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. In addition, any additional Term Loans made as a result of any subsequent increase in the Total Term Loan Commitment after Initial Term Increase Date pursuant to §2.11 shall be made on the applicable Commitment Increase Date, may be made in any Agreed Currency as requested by Borrower, and each Term Loan Lender which elects to increase its or acquire a Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11 severally and not jointly agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on such Commitment Increase Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) with respect to any existing Term Loan Lender, the amount by which such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment increases on the applicable Commitment Increase Date, and with respect to any new Term Loan Lender, the amount of such new Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, and (b) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the maximum amount which, when added to the sum of (1) the amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities and (3) the aggregate amount of all other Unsecured Indebtedness of REIT and its Subsidiaries, would not cause a violation of the covenants set forth in §§9.3 and 9.4. Each Term Loan shall be made of the same Currency and Type and made by the Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Term Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of the Xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xx §00 have been satisfied on the date of such request. The Agent may assume that the conditions in §11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written notice from a Term Loan Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Term Loan Lender shall have any obligation to make Term Loans to the Borrower in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the principal face amount of its Term Loan Note. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Term Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record reflecting the making of such Term Loan or the receipt of such payment, as the case may be. The Outstanding Term Loans set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Term Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Term Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Term Loan Note when due.

§2.3 Unused Fee; Facility Fee.

(a) Subject to §2.3(b), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender for such period of time as such Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) calculated by multiplying the Unused Fee Percentage applicable to such day, calculated as a per diem rate, times the excess of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment over the Dollar Equivalent of outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (but not the Swing Loans). The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each fiscal quarter for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Unused Fee shall be paid in Dollars.

(b) From and after the date that Agent receives written notice that REIT has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating from at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies and that Borrower has irrevocably elected to have the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Applicable Margin, the Unused Fee shall no longer accrue (but any accrued Unused Fee shall be payable as provided in §2.3(a)), and from and thereafter, Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum set forth below based upon the applicable Credit Rating Level on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment:

Credit Rating Level	Facility Fee Rate
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.125%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.15%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.20%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.25%
Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.30%

The Facility Fee shall be calculated for each day and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each fiscal quarter for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Facility Fee shall be paid in Dollars. The Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no change in the Facility Fee rate resulting from a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of a change.

§2.4 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to (a) reduce by $5,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof or (b) terminate entirely the Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.7; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the Outstanding Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments which results in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment being less than $500,000,000.00 shall result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000.00) in the maximum amount of Letters of Credit (such proportion to be determined based on the amount that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is reduced below $500,000,000.00), and the Swing Loan Commitment shall automatically decrease by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the applicable reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment below $500,000,000.00. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated.

§2.5 Swing Loan Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow), in Dollars only, from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (iii) the sum of (A) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, plus the Letter of Credit Liabilities and (B) the aggregate amount of all other Unsecured Indebtedness of REIT and its Subsidiaries shall not cause a violation of the covenants set forth in §§9.3, or 9.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. Swing Loans shall constitute “Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes hereunder. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §11 have been satisfied unless the Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and the Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(d)) to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided. A Swing Loan may not be refinanced with another Swing Loan.

(b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due. By delivery of this Agreement and any Swing Line Note hereunder, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement or the “Swing Line Note” described in the Existing Credit Agreement. Any and all Swing Loan Notes issued on the Closing Date in connection with this Agreement to Lenders holding Swing Loan Notes issued under the Existing Credit Agreement replace and are in lieu of such Swing Loan Notes issued under the Existing Credit Agreement.

(c) The Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. The Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time).

(d) The Swing Loan Lender shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each Revolving Credit Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Cleveland Time) on the Business Day of the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, the Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders that such Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such Term SOFR Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a Term SOFR Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.5(d) shall be considered a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the events described in §12.1(g), 12.1(h) or 12.1(i) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.5(e) shall apply), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in Same Day Funds no later than one (1) Business Day after the date such request was made by the Swing Loan Lender just as if the Revolving Credit Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.

(e) If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(f) The Agent shall notify the Borrower of any Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to §2.5(d) or participations in any Swing Loan acquired pursuant to §2.5(e), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swing Loan shall be made to the Agent and not to the Swing Loan Lender. Subject to §2.13, any amounts received by the Swing Loan Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swing Loan after receipt by the Swing Loan Lender of the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to §2.5(d) with respect to such Swing Loan shall be remitted to the Agent, and be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to §2.5(d) and to the Swing Loan Lender, as their interests may appear; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it. Subject to §2.13, whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.

(g) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of REIT or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and the Swing Loan Lender as against such Revolving Credit Lender as a Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Revolving Credit Lender, thereby making such Revolving Credit Lender a Defaulting Lender. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Revolving Credit Loan made by each Revolving Credit Lender under its Revolving Credit Commitment.

§2.6 Interest on Loans.

(a) Each Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a Loan of another Type at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans.

(b) Each Benchmark Revolving Credit Loan that is (X) a RFR Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Benchmark Revolving Credit Loan is repaid or is converted to a Loan of another Type at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted RFR plus the Applicable Margin for Benchmark Revolving Credit Loans, and (Y) a Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Term Benchmark determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Benchmark Revolving Credit Loans.

(c) Each Term Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Term Base Rate Loan is repaid or is converted to a to a Loan of another Type at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Term Base Rate Loans.

(d) Each Benchmark Term Loan that is (X) a RFR Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Benchmark Term Loan is repaid or is converted to a Loan of another Type at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted RFR plus the Applicable Margin for Benchmark Term Loans, and (Y) a Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Term Benchmark determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Benchmark Term Loans.

(e) The Borrower promises to pay, in each case in the applicable Currency in which such Loan is denominated, interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

(f) Base Rate Loans and Benchmark Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Alternative Currency Loans shall be Benchmark Loans (except to the extent any such Alternative Currency Benchmark Loan is converted to an Alternate Rate Loan pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement, in which event such Alternate Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Alternate Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a Benchmark Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Alternate Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Benchmark Loans).

§2.7 Requests for Loans. The Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit E hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit E hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and Term Base Rate Loans, and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Benchmark Revolving Credit Loans and Benchmark Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Loan the proposed principal amount of such Loan, whether such Loan is a Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, the Type of Loan (provided that all Alternative Currency Loans shall be Benchmark Loans), the Currency in which such Loan is to be made, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Loan and the Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain (a) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.9) and (b) a certification by the chief executive officer, president or chief financial officer of the Borrower that the Borrower and Guarantors (including any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary) are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as the case may be, of such Loan Request. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loan requested from the applicable Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against any Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Loan as required by this Agreement. Each Loan Request shall be (x) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (y) for a Benchmark Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than eight (8) Benchmark Loans outstanding at any one time. Any consent given by a Lender to the Agent to fund in a particular Alternative Currency shall be binding on such Lender and the Agent may conclusively assume the effectiveness thereof absent receipt of notice to the contrary from any such Lender. If Borrower fails to specify a Currency in a Loan Request requesting a Loan, then the requested Loan shall be made in Dollars.

§2.8 Funds for Loans.

(a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans denominated in Dollars, each of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in Same Day Funds in the applicable Currency, the amount of such Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1 or §2.2, as applicable. In the case of a borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, each of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in Same Day Funds in the applicable Currency not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Agent on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Request. A Lender at its option may, upon reasonable prior notice to Agent, make a Benchmark Loan by causing any U.S. or non-U.S. branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan and any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt from each such Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §11 (and in connection with the making of the initial Loan on the Closing Date, §10) and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made available to the Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date, or on the Commitment Increase Date (if applicable) with respect to any Term Loans, the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Revolving Credit Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, or on the Commitment Increase Date (if applicable) with respect to any Term Loans, that such Lender will not make available to Agent (in the applicable Currency) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a proposed Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loans, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to Agent (in the applicable Currency) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount in the applicable Currency upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%), plus with respect to any payment to be made by a Lender that is denominated in an Alternative Currency, the cost to Agent of funding such amount (as determined by Agent).

§2.9 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely for (a) payment of closing costs in connection with this Agreement, (b) repayment of Indebtedness, (c) acquisitions of fee simple ownership of Real Estate or Real Estate subject to a Ground Lease and other Investments permitted under the Loan Documents, and (d) general corporate and working capital purposes, including, without limitation, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions, joint ventures, note purchases, share repurchases and other lawful corporate purposes.

§2.10 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit in Dollars (or, if available as determined by the applicable Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, in Alternative Currencies) as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the relevant Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, (iii) in no event shall (A) the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit) exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (B) the sum of the (1) outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit), and (2) the aggregate amount of all other Unsecured Indebtedness of REIT and its Subsidiaries cause a violation of the covenants set forth in §§9.3 or 9.4, (iv) the conditions set forth in §11 (and, in connection with any request for the issuance of any Letters of Credit on the Closing Date, §10) shall have been satisfied, and (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending one year after the date of issuance thereof (or such longer period as Issuing Lender may approve); provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Issuing Lender but, subject to the following proviso, in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided further, that a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration of not more than one year beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date so long as the Borrower delivers to the Issuing Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date cash collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Collateral Account in an amount equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit or other credit support acceptable to such Issuing Lender. The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan.

(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer of the Borrower that the Borrower and Guarantors (including any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary) are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof for KeyBank is in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict between the terms of any such additional application(s) and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c) The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to §2.10(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit.

(d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.

(e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fronting fee calculated at the rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event) and an administrative charge of $250, and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to Benchmark Loans on the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of the Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by the Issuing Lender.

(f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, (i) the Issuing Lender shall notify Agent of the amount drawn and the Letter of Credit to which such amount relates, (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (the Borrower being deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and (iii) the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by telecopy, email, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%) for each day thereafter. Further, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Revolving Credit Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.10(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Revolving Credit Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in §12.5. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).

(g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Revolving Credit Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit in the applicable Currency. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(h) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender any such Revolving Credit Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

(i) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(j) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither the Agent, the Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telecopy, email or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on the Borrower and will not put the Agent, the Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve the Issuing Lender for liability to the Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

§2.11 Increase in Total Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to §2.12 below) or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, to request an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan Credit Commitment by giving written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000.00 and increments of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof, and the Total Commitment shall not exceed $1,950,000,000.00.

In the event of the Initial Term Increase, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders providing any of such initial Term Loan Commitment(s) shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement as is necessary to evidence such increase of the Term Loan Commitment (the “Term Loan Commitment Amendment”), and all Lenders not providing the initial Term Loan Commitments hereby consent to such limited scope amendment without future consent rights, provided that any such amendment regarding the Term Loan that is entered into without consent of the Lenders not providing the initial Term Loan Commitments shall provide that: (A) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under the Term Loan Commitment (which shall not restrict any mandatory prepayments required under §3.2 below), (B) the Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Credit Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Term Loan Commitment shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Credit Loans, (C) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to the Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the Term Loan Lenders, (D) the Term Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the Revolving Credit Loans, and (E) the final maturity date of the Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with KCM and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of the facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, in connection with such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees. If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined (and/or such other fees as may be agreed to by Borrower and Agent), the Agent shall send a notice to all Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Revolving Credit Lender and/or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, who desires to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and KCM shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and KCM, shall determine following consultation with the Borrower. If the additional Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and/or the Term Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable, that is requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, KCM, or the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be acceptable to Agent, KCM, and the Borrower) to become a Revolving Credit Lender and/or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable. The Agent shall provide all Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to be provided by each Revolving Credit Lender and/or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, and the revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and/or Term Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable, specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment.

(b) On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans owed to each Revolving Credit Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans. The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date, those Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent (in each case, in the applicable Currency for such Revolving Credit Loans) and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. The funds so advanced in Dollars shall be Base Rate Loans or Benchmark Loans, in accordance with the request of the Borrower, and the funds so advanced in an Alternative Currency shall be Benchmark Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. To the extent such reallocation results in certain Lenders receiving funds which are applied to Benchmark Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period or applicable Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, then the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the affected Lenders the Breakage Costs for each such Lender (provided that the parties agree to attempt to coordinate the closing of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to minimize Breakage Costs that may come due); provided, however, each Lender agrees to apply any amounts received by them pursuant to this §2.11(b) first to the principal of any Base Rate Loans held by such Lender and then to the principal of Benchmark Loans held by such Lender.

(c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11, (i) the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 to reflect the name and address, Commitment and Commitment Percentage of each Lender following such increase and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note or Term Loan Note, as applicable, shall equal its Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Loan Note, as applicable, to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the applicable Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes, as applicable. In connection with the issuance of any new Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, and the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and/or Term Loan Notes, as applicable, shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and/or the Agent and the Term Loan Lenders to increase the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable:

(i) Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent and KCM those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to KCM such facility fees as the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders who are providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, may require to increase the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. KCM shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the applicable Commitment Increase certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and

(ii) No Default. On the date any such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

(iii) Representations True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or the Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment is increased (although any representations and warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required only to be true and correct in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be) (in each case, without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein), both immediately before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment is increased; and

(iv) Beneficial Ownership Certification. If requested by the Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall have delivered, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Increase Date, to the Agent (and any such Lender) a completed and executed Beneficial Ownership Certification; and

(v) Term Loan Commitment Amendment. In connection with the Initial Term Increase, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and each Term Loan Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent the Term Loan Commitment Amendment and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the increase of the Term Loan Commitment including evidence of authority to borrow, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require in its reasonable discretion. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of the Term Loan Commitment Amendment. The Term Loan Commitment Amendment, without the consent of any other Lender, may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, the Term Loan Lenders and the Borrower, to implement the terms of the Initial Term Increase, including any amendments necessary to establish the Initial Term Increase, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, the Term Loan Lenders and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such initial Term Loan Commitment; and

(vi) Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require (including, without limitation, in the case of the Borrower, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase).

§2.12 Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right and option to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in respect of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or portion thereof in accordance with §2.4 (as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion) a total of two (2) times for a period of six (6) months each time upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date:

(i) Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (the “Extension Request”) to the Agent not earlier than the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days and not later than the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the then-applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) and which notice shall specify the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments the Borrower elects to so extend (provided that any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in accordance with §2.4).

(ii) Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to seven and one-half (7.5) basis points on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the then-applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension) or on the portion thereof to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.

(iii) No Default. On the date of such extension, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.

(iv) Beneficial Ownership Certification. If requested by the Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall have delivered, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such extension, to the Agent (and any such Lender) a completed and executed Beneficial Ownership Certification.

(v) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or the Unencumbered Property Subsidiaries in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such extension (although any representations and warranties which expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required only to be true and correct in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case may be) (in each case, without duplication of any materiality qualified contained therein).

For purposes of clarity, if the Borrower exercises its first right and option as provided above to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to this §2.12 (the “First Extension Option”), the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be extended to April 8, 2027, and if the Borrower subsequently exercises its second right and option as provided above to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to this §2.12 (the “Second Extension Option”), then the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be extended to October 8, 2027. Borrower may only exercise the Second Extension Option if it has exercised the First Extension Option in accordance with this §2.12. Any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to this §2.12 shall become effective on the day that all the conditions in this §2.12 with respect to such Extension Request are satisfied (which may be prior to the then-applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date), provided that such conditions must be satisfied within the time period provided in each such condition, and, in any event, on or prior to the then-applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension).

§2.13 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Majority Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Term Loan Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%), (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).

(b) Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such fifth Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) or the Majority Lenders may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitments to an eligible assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an eligible assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. If such Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Agent after the later of (i) the date on which such purchaser or assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which the Defaulting Lender receives all payments required to be paid to it by this §2.13(b), then such Defaulting Lender shall, to the extent permissible by Applicable Law, be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Defaulting Lender. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans (including the Dollar Equivalent of any Alternative Currency Loans) outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (but not on accrued and unpaid fees). Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).

(c) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender); provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the time of such reallocation, the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11, as applicable, are satisfied or waived in writing (and, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at the time), and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender plus (2) such Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans. Subject to §34, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(d) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder (including, without limitation, in the case of a payment made by such Defaulting Lender that is denominated in an Alternative Currency, the cost to the Agent of funding such payment (as determined by the Agent)); second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) and/or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders and Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages or Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loans, shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.

(e) If the reallocation described in clause (c) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall first, prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Loan Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and, second, deliver to the Agent for the benefit of each Issuing Lender, cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to such Issuing Lender (after giving effect to §§2.5(a), 2.10(a) and 2.13(c)) on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars or in the Alternative Currency of the cash-collateralized obligation). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities. Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this §2.13(e) shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.

(f) (i) Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Facility Fee or Unused Fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(iii) With respect to any Facility Fee, Unused Fee or Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lender’s or the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such fee.

(g) If the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans, or Term Loans, as applicable, to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

§2.14 Evidence of Debt. The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from the Loans made by each Lender from time to time shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and the Agent in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent and the Lenders to make, or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s and the Lender’s records reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The Agent shall maintain accounts or records in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record: (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of such Loan, the denominated Currency of such Loan, and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein and shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, if any, to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower agrees that upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise), the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a Revolving Credit Note, a Term Loan Note and/or a Swing Loan Note, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), Currency, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.

§2.15 Sustainability-linked Margin Adjustments. At any time following the Closing Date, but on or prior to the date which is December 31, 2024:

(a) The Borrower may supply the Agent with a written proposal (the "Sustainability Proposal") in respect of the incorporation of a margin adjustment and applicable conditions, with either (i) no fewer than two key performance indicators and the corresponding sustainability performance targets or (ii) a sustainability performance target linked to material improvement in a recognized third-party ESG rating, that will, in either case, constitute the reference for sustainability linked adjustments to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans, defined with the assistance of the Sustainability Agents in accordance with the most updated version of the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles published by the Loan Market Association, Loan Syndications and Trading Association and Asia Pacific Loan Market Association available at the time. The performance on sustainability key performance indicators vis-à-vis the sustainability performance targets should be subject to customary levels of external verification.

(b) The Agent shall notify and provide a copy of the Sustainability Proposal to the Lenders, which the Lenders shall consider in good faith. By no later than the date falling one month after the delivery of the Sustainability Proposal, the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall carry out consultations and communicate its response on the Sustainability Proposal to the Borrower.

(c) If Lenders having more than 66.6% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment agree to the Sustainability Proposal, then the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to implement such Sustainability Proposal without any further action or requirement from any Lender and the Agent is hereby authorized to execute any such amendment on behalf of the Lenders.

(d) The maximum adjustment to the Applicable Margin on the basis of a Sustainability Proposal shall not exceed one (1) basis point (0.01%) per annum; provided, however, that in no event shall the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans be less than zero percent (0.0%). For the avoidance of doubt, the applicability of any sustainability-linked adjustment to the Applicable Margin for Term Loans, and the terms and conditions thereof, shall be as set forth in any Term Loan Commitment Amendment.

(e) Prior to the Sustainability Proposal being enacted by amendment, the Borrower shall not include any reference to the Agreement being classified as a sustainability-linked loan in any publicly available information.

§3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If at any time (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the Total Commitment; provided that, for purposes of this §3.2(a)(ii), the Revaluation Date for purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent of any amount of Term Loans, or of the portion of the Total Commitment consisting of Term Loan Commitments, shall be deemed to be the Revaluation Date determined upon the incurrence of such Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Revaluation Date, or (iii) the sum of (A) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities, and (B) the aggregate amount of all other Unsecured Indebtedness of REIT and its Subsidiaries causes a violation of the covenants set forth in §§9.3 or 9.4, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders (in the case of clause (i)) or all of the Lenders (in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii)), as applicable, for application to the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, and deposit in the Collateral Account and pledge to Agent cash in any additional amount necessary to secure the Outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with §3.2(a) and the covenants set forth in §9, the Outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Letters of Credit Liabilities which are denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be re-determined on the Revaluation Date occurring on the last calendar day of each calendar month prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date based on the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (determined as of such day prior to 11:00 a.m. Cleveland, Ohio time). If, as a result of such re-determination, a prepayment of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be required under §3.2(a), the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof and Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days of receiving such notice from Agent make a prepayment of such Revolving Credit Loans to the extent required under §3.2(a).

§3.3 Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Benchmark Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period or the Interest Payment Date relating thereto, as the case may be, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.7.

(b) The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least three (3) days prior written notice (or, in the case of Benchmark Loans, three (3) Business Days) of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent); provided, however, that Agent may reduce the required time period for such notice requirement to any shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Agent in connection with a prepayment of the Loans made by Borrower for purposes of curing any failure to comply with the terms of §§9.1, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 or 9.6 pursuant to §12.2(a)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the prepayment of any Swing Loan.

§3.4 Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof (or, in the case of Benchmark Loans that are denominated in an Alternative Currency, an amount for which the Dollar Equivalent is not less than $1,000,000 or $100,000, respectively), shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment. Except with respect to any partial payment made pursuant to the last sentence of §3.2(a), which shall be applied to the principal of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency (and which, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, shall be applied, first, pro rata, to the principal of RFR Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and, second, pro rata, to the principal of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies), each partial payment under §3.2 shall be applied, first, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, second, pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (and with respect to each category of Revolving Credit Loans, first, pro rata to the principal of Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans, second, pro rata to the principal of Benchmark Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, and then, third, pro rata to the principal of Benchmark Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies (and which, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, shall be applied, first, pro rata, to the principal of RFR Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and, second, pro rata, to the principal of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies)), third, solely in the case of a mandatory prepayment under §3.2(a)(ii) or (iii), pro rata to the principal of any Outstanding Term Loans (and with respect to each category of Term Loans, first pro rata to the principal of Term Base Rate Loans, second, pro rata to the principal of Benchmark Term Loans denominated in Dollars, third, pro rata to the principal of Benchmark Term Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies (and which, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, shall be applied, first, pro rata, to the principal of RFR Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and, second, pro rata, to the principal of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies)) and then, fourth, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities on a pro rata basis.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

§4.1 Conversion Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans to a Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, respectively, of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a Benchmark Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a Benchmark Loan to a Base Rate Loan or, if applicable, any such conversion of a Benchmark Loan that is a Term Benchmark Loan to a RFR Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Request with respect to such election at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of such conversion, and such conversion shall only be made on (X) the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Benchmark Loan that is a Term Benchmark Loan, or (Y) the applicable Interest Payment Date with respect to any such Benchmark Loan that is a RFR Loan, and, in each case after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than eight (8) Benchmark Loans outstanding at any one time; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Benchmark Loan of any Type or, if applicable, any such conversion of a Benchmark Loan that is a RFR Loan to a Term Benchmark Loan (provided, that, such conversion shall only be made on the applicable Interest Payment Date with respect to such RFR Loan), the Borrower shall give the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Request with respect to such election at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such conversion, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than eight (8) Benchmark Loans outstanding at any one time; (iii) no Loan may be converted into a Benchmark Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) no Alternative Currency Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan. All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a Benchmark Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Applicable Lending Office. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a Benchmark Loan or, if applicable, relating to the conversion of a Benchmark Loan that is a RFR Loan to a Term Benchmark Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

(b) Any Benchmark Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto (for a Term Benchmark Loan) or following the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto (for a RFR Loan) by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no Benchmark Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on (X) the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto for a Term Benchmark Loan ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default or (Y) the date of any such Default or Event or Default for a RFR Loan (except, in each case, for a Benchmark Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency which, during the continuance of a Default, shall continue as a Term Benchmark Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month or a RFR Loan, as applicable, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan).

(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any Benchmark Loan, (X) any such Benchmark Loan that is a Term Benchmark Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a Term Benchmark Loan with an Interest Period of one month or (Y) any such Benchmark Loan that is a RFR Loan shall be automatically continued following the Interest Payment Date with respect thereto as a RFR Loan, provided, in each case, that no circumstance exists which would preclude Borrower from obtaining such Benchmark Loan, or if Borrower would be precluded from obtaining such Benchmark Loan, it shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period (except for a Benchmark Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency which, if Borrower shall be precluded from obtaining such Benchmark Loan, shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Benchmark Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency may be continued or converted in accordance with this §4.1 in an amount equal to the same number of units of the relevant Currency for which such Benchmark Loan was initially made regardless of whether the principal amount of such Loan as of such date of continuation or conversion is less than $1,000,000.00.

§4.2 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank, the Agent, KCM, CONA, BCM, BMO and Citizens for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to that certain fee letter dated March 9, 2022 among the Borrower, KeyBank, KCM, CONA, BCM, BMO and Citizens (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced, the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.

§4.3 Funds for Payments.

(a) All payments in Dollars of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in Same Day Funds. All payments in any Alternative Currency hereunder or otherwise under the Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent’s Head Office for payments in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Agent on the date specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrower or any Guarantor is prohibited by any Applicable Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower or Guarantor shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. All payments of principal of and interest on any Loan shall be payable in the same Currency as the Loan is denominated other than as provided in the preceding sentence, and all other fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be payable in Dollars. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in the Alternative Currency, the Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Agent if the Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in Same Day Funds in the applicable Alternative Currency to the account with Agent designated by Borrower or the Applicable Lending Office. For purposes of this clause, “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the applicable Alternative Currency. The obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in Dollars or any particular Alternative Currency (the “Currency of Payment”) shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (including pursuant to the judgment of a court), be discharged only to the extent that the Lender receiving such payment may, in accordance with its normal banking procedures on the Business Day following receipt of any such payment, purchase with the sum paid in such other currency (after payment of any premium and costs of exchange) the Currency of Payment on the Business Day on which such Lender receives such payment. If the amount of the Currency of Payment that is purchased by any Lender is less than the amount owing to such Lender in the applicable currency pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation and notwithstanding any of the other terms contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to pay such additional amount so that the applicable Lender receives payment in full in the applicable Currency of Payment all of the relevant monetary Obligations in accordance with the terms of this clause and the other terms of this Agreement. If the amount of the Currency of Payment that is purchased by any Lender exceeds the sum due in the applicable currency to such Lender, such Lender shall promptly pay the excess over to the Borrower in the currency and to the extent actually received by such Lender. To the extent not already paid pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank set forth on Schedule 4.3, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender) under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.

(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.3) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this §4.3, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender 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 or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this §4.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this §4.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit and to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to Swing Loans) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of court of competent jurisdiction; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by the Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in the Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such circumstance or happening under this clause (xiii) shall not have occurred as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

§4.4 Computations. All computations of interest on the Base Rate Loans, RFR Loans denominated in Sterling and bearing interest with reference to Daily Compounded XXXXX, RFR Loans denominated in Norwegian Krone and bearing interest with reference to NOWA and Alternate Rate Loans, to the extent applicable, shall be based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) or, in the event of a leap year, three hundred sixty-six (366)-day year, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. All other computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Term Benchmark Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The Outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest error.

§4.5 Temporary Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to §4.16, in the event that, (i) the Agent determines (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Term Benchmark or component thereof (including because the relevant screen rate is not available or published on a current basis) for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted RFR or component thereof for the applicable Agreed Currency, or (ii) the Agent reasonably determines that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Loan, the applicable Term Benchmark for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans included in such borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the applicable Adjusted RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans included in such borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency, then the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and the Borrower delivers a new Conversion/Continuation Request in accordance with §4.1 or a new Loan Request in accordance with §2.7, (a) for Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any Conversion/Continuation Request that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Term Benchmark Loan and any Loan Request that requests a Term Benchmark Loan shall instead be deemed to be a Conversion/Continuation Request or a Loan Request, as applicable, for (X) a RFR Loan denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted RFR for Dollar Loans is not also the subject of §4.5(i) or (ii) above or (Y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted RFR for Dollar Loans also is the subject of §4.5(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Loan Request that requests a RFR Loan shall instead be deemed to be a Loan Request, as applicable, for a Base Rate Loan, and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) automatically be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan and bear interest at the Alternate Rate, (2) any RFR Loan shall as of the date of such determination automatically be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan and bear interest at the Alternate Rate, and (3) any Loan Request that requests a new Term Benchmark Loan or a RFR Loan, in each case, for the relevant Benchmark, shall be ineffective; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the circumstances giving rise to the notice referenced above affect only (X) the Benchmark with respect to borrowings denominated in a single Currency, the provisions of this §4.5 shall apply only to Benchmark borrowings denominated in such Currency, and borrowings of Benchmark Loans denominated in other Currencies shall be permitted, or (Y) one Type of borrowings, then all other Types of borrowings shall be permitted.

§4.6 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its Applicable Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain Benchmark Loans denominated in any Currency, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make Loans bearing interest with reference to such Benchmark and denominated in such Currency shall forthwith be suspended and any Loan Request with respect to such borrowing shall be ineffective, (b) if such event relates to any Loan denominated in Dollars, (i) any such Term Benchmark Loan then outstanding which are denominated in Dollars shall be converted automatically into (X) a RFR Loan denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted RFR for Dollar Loans is not also the subject of this §4.6 or (Y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted RFR for Dollar Loans also is the subject of this §4.6, in each case, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) or within such earlier period as may be required by law, and (ii) any such RFR Loan then outstanding which is denominated in Dollars shall be converted automatically into a Base Rate Loan upon the occurrence of such event or within such earlier period as may be required by law, and (c) if such event relates to any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, (i) any such Term Benchmark Loan then outstanding which is denominated in such Alternative Currency shall be converted automatically to an Alternate Rate Loan on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) or within such earlier period as may be required by law, and (ii) any such RFR Loan then outstanding which is denominated in such Alternative Currency shall be converted automatically into an Alternate Rate Loan upon the occurrence of such event or within such earlier period as may be required by law; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the circumstances giving rise to the notice referenced above affect only (X) the Benchmark with respect to borrowings denominated in a single Currency, the provisions of this §4.6 shall apply only to Benchmark borrowings denominated in such Currency, and borrowings of Benchmark Loans denominated in other Currencies shall be permitted, or (Y) one Type of borrowings, then all other Types of borrowings shall be permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by the Borrower hereunder.

§4.7 Additional Interest. The Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs incurred by any Lender as a result of any of the events set forth in the definition of Breakage Costs set forth in §1.1. The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of any Benchmark as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a Benchmark Loan; (b) any such Benchmark is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (c) the Borrower has accepted each Benchmark as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. The Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Benchmark Loan through the purchase of a deposit in Dollars or an applicable Alternative Currency bearing interest at the applicable Benchmark in an amount equal to the amount of that Benchmark Loan and, with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its Benchmark Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section.

§4.8 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any present or future Applicable Law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time (or from time to time) hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

(a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency)(except for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or

(b) impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the relevant local market for obtaining quotations for any Benchmark, any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

(d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the foregoing is:

(i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, continuing, converting to, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or

(iii) to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent.

§4.9 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any Applicable Law regarding liquidity or capital ratios or requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding liquidity or capital ratios or adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender. For purposes of §4.8 and this §4.9, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, publications, orders, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed (i) to constitute the adoption of or a change in Applicable Law and (ii) to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof regardless of when adopted, enacted or issued.

§4.10 Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from the Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by this Agreement.

§4.11 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, the Borrowers shall pay interest (after as well as before judgment) on the Obligations at a rate per annum equal to (such rate, the “Default Rate”): (a) in the case of Loans of any Type denominated in any Currency, the rate per annum then in effect for each such Loan of such Type denominated in such Currency (inclusive of the Applicable Margin) plus a margin of 2% per annum; and (b) in the case of Letters of Credit and other Obligations payable hereunder, the rate per annum equal to, (i) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any Currency, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans or Alternate Rate Loans, as the case may be, denominated in such Currency plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum, and (ii) in the case of such other Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment); provided that if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.

§4.12 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, §4.8, §4.9, §4.10 or §4.11 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and shall be promptly provided to the Agent and the Borrower upon their written request.

§4.13 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in §2.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, arrangement fees, amendment fees, extension fees, up-front fees, commitment fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, prepayment fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, or any other similar amounts are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders have imposed no minimum borrowing requirements, reserve or escrow balances or compensating balances related in any way to the Obligations. Any use by the Borrower of certificates of deposit issued by any Lender or other accounts maintained with any Lender has been and shall be voluntary on the part of the Borrower. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due. This §4.13 shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent.

§4.14 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Non-Funding Lenders. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.8 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §§4.3(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), 4.8, 4.9 or 15(b), then, upon request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce such amounts payable or (ii) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed costs or expenses and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender (a) has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.8 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §§4.3(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), 4.8, 4.9 or 15(b) and following the request of the Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “Affected Lender”), or (b) has failed to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or participation in a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan and such failure has not been cured (a “Non-Funding Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or failure to fund, as applicable, the Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice or failure to fund, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to transfer its Commitments and assign its Loans. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitments and Loans, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitments and Loans, then the Agent shall endeavor to, and the Borrower may, obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitments. Upon any such purchase of the Commitments of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. If such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Agent after the later of (i) the date on which such purchaser or assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, receives all payments required to be paid to it by this §4.14, then such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent permissible by Applicable Law, be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitments and Loans shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

§4.15 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing §§4.3, 4.8 and 4.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the eligible circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

§4.16 Permanent Inability to Determine Rate; Benchmark Replacement.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any then-current Benchmark, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. No replacement of a then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this §4.16(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Change. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to §4.16(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent pursuant to this §4.16 including, without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this §4.16.

(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate, EURIBOR Rate or Canadian CDOR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative, tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for (1) a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars into a request for a Loan of or conversion to (A) a RFR Loan denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted RFR for Loans denominated in Dollars is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted RFR for Dollar borrowings is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (2) any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan denominated, in each case, in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this §4.16, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a RFR borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted RFR for Loans denominated in Dollars is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted RFR for Loans denominated in Dollars is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted into Alternate Rate Loans and bear interest at the Alternate Rate and (2) any RFR Loan shall on the next succeeding Business Day be converted into Alternate Rate Loans and bear interest at the Alternate Rate.

§5. UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS; GUARANTORS.

§5.1 Reserved

§5.2 Additional Guarantors. In the event that the Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate owned or leased by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower be included as an Unencumbered Pool Asset, the Borrower shall as a condition thereto, in addition to the requirements of §7.20, cause each such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, and each other Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower which owns, directly or indirectly, Equity Interests in such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder and thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, permit Real Estate located in an Approved Foreign Country to be included as an Unencumbered Pool Asset without requiring any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary which indirectly owns such Real Estate to become a Guarantor so long as such Real Estate otherwise satisfies all of the conditions to be included as an Unencumbered Pool Asset hereunder. In addition, in the event any Subsidiary of REIT shall constitute a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (c) of the definition thereof, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary, as a condition to such Subsidiary’s becoming an obligor or guarantor with respect to such other Unsecured Indebtedness described therein, to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall thereby become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to be a Guarantor hereunder and thereunder and to execute the Contribution Agreement. The Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to the Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for any Approved Foreign Entity which is required to become an Additional Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement, Agent may require that such Approved Foreign Entity execute and deliver a separate Guaranty (in addition to or in lieu of a Joinder Agreement), which Guaranty shall contain such provisions as are reasonably required by Agent for purposes of aiding in the enforceability and collectability of such Guaranty (including, any judgment arising thereunder) against any such Subsidiary in its jurisdiction of organization, the jurisdiction in which Real Estate or other assets owned by such Approved Foreign Entity are located and in such other jurisdictions as the Agent may reasonably require. In connection with the delivery of any Joinder Agreement or separate Guaranty, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such customary organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.

§5.3 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a) The Borrower may request in writing that the Agent release, and upon receipt of such request the Agent shall release (subject to the terms hereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release or the removal of any Unencumbered Pool Asset held by such Subsidiary Guarantor referred to in clause (iii)(B) below; (ii) the Agent shall have received such written request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of release together with an updated Compliance Certificate and Unencumbered Pool Certificate, each giving effect to such proposed release; and (iii) Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that (A) the Borrower has disposed of or simultaneously with such release will dispose of its entire interest in such Subsidiary Guarantor or that substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been or simultaneously with such release will be disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement to a Person other than REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and the net cash proceeds from such disposition are being distributed to the Borrower in connection with such disposition; or (B) such Subsidiary Guarantor does not own, directly or indirectly, any Real Estate that will remain included as an Unencumbered Pool Asset after giving effect to such release and any removal of any Unencumbered Pool Asset effected in connection therewith, all such assets having been (or concurrently being) removed as Unencumbered Pool Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and such Subsidiary Guarantor is not otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement to be a Guarantor); or (C) such Subsidiary Guarantor (i) does not directly or indirectly own or lease an Unencumbered Pool Asset and will not, upon giving effect to such requested release, be an obligor or guarantor of any other Unsecured Indebtedness of the REIT, Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries of the type described in clause (c) of the definition of Material Subsidiary which would require it to be a Guarantor and (ii) would not be required to be a Guarantor pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of Material Subsidiary upon giving effect to such requested release. Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request for a release shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this §5.3(a) shall not apply to REIT.

101

(b) Notwithstanding the terms of §5.2 and §5.3(a), from and after any date that Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that REIT has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating from at least one (1) Rating Agency, then (i) subject to the terms of this §5.3(b), all Material Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a direct or indirect owner or lessee of an Unencumbered Pool Asset) shall no longer be required to be Guarantors under this Agreement, and (ii) Agent shall promptly release the Material Subsidiaries from the Guaranty; provided however that notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Agent shall not be obligated to release any Material Subsidiary from the Guaranty in the event that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) no Material Subsidiary shall be released in the event that such Material Subsidiary constitutes a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clause (c) of the definition thereof. In the event that at any time after REIT obtains an Investment Grade Rating, REIT shall no longer have an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and REIT shall within thirty (30) days after such occurrence cause all Material Subsidiaries to execute a Joinder Agreement (and/or a Separate Guaranty for any such Material Subsidiary that is an Approved Foreign Entity if required pursuant to §5.2) and shall further cause to be satisfied within such thirty (30) day period all of the provisions of §5.2 that would be applicable to the addition of a new Guarantor. In no event shall the provisions of this §5.3(b) entitle REIT to be released from the Guaranty. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time during which the REIT has an Investment Grade Rating (whether from one (1) or more of the Rating Agencies) the provisions of clause (c) of the definition of Material Subsidiary shall be applicable to a Subsidiary of Borrower, the Borrower shall nonetheless be required to cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing a Joinder Agreement and comply with the provisions of §5.2 as a condition to such Subsidiary's becoming an obligor or guarantor of such other Unsecured Indebtedness regardless of REIT having obtained such Investment Grade Rating.

§6.21 Leases.

(a) [Reserved.]

(b) There are no rights to terminate a Ground Lease with respect to an Unencumbered Pool Asset other than the applicable ground lessor’s right to terminate by reason of default, casualty, condemnation or other similar reasons, in each case as expressly set forth in the applicable Ground Lease. Each Ground Lease with respect to an Unencumbered Pool Asset is in full force and effect, and no breach or default or event that with the giving of notice or passage of time would constitute a breach or default under the applicable Ground Lease with respect to an Unencumbered Pool Asset (a “Ground Lease Default”) exists or has occurred on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor or on the part of the ground lessor under any such Ground Lease. The Borrower and the Guarantors have not received any written notice that a Ground Lease Default has occurred or exists, or that any ground lessor or any third party alleges the same to have occurred or exist. Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor is the exclusive holder of the lessee’s interest under and pursuant to each Ground Lease with respect to an Unencumbered Pool Asset and has not assigned, transferred or encumbered its interest in, to, or under such Ground Lease, except for an encumbrance resulting from Liens which are expressly contemplated in §§8.2(i) and 8.2(iv).

Each of the Unencumbered Pool Assets, and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, laws, regulations and ordinances relating to zoning, building codes, subdivision, fire protection, health, safety, handicapped access, historic preservation and protection, wetlands and tidelands (but excluding for purposes of this §6.22, Environmental Laws).

110

§6.23 Brokers. None of REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans contemplated hereunder.

§6.24 Other Debt. As of the date of this Agreement, (a) none of the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries is in default of the payment of any Indebtedness, the performance of any related agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement, indenture or lease to which any of them is a party, and (b) no Indebtedness of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries has been accelerated. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time or payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Schedule 6.24 hereto sets forth as of the date of this Agreement all agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon the Borrower and each Guarantor or their respective properties and entered into by the Borrower and/or such Guarantor as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor in an amount greater than $10,000,000.00, and the Borrower has notified the Agent of such documents and, if requested by Agent, provided the Agent with such true, correct and complete copies thereof if such documents have not been filed with the SEC.

§6.25 Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Loans made or to be made hereunder, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, the Borrower and each Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due, and the Borrower and each Guarantor has sufficient capital to carry on its business.

§6.26 No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state, provincial, federal or non-U.S. bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws (including corporate laws to the extent used to compromise debts) or for the liquidation of its assets or property, and Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any Guarantor.

§6.27 No Fraudulent Intent. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.

111

§6.28 Transaction in Best Interests of the Borrower and Guarantors; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries. The Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in common business enterprises related to those of the Borrower and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the effectiveness and existence of this Agreement. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to guaranty the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

§6.29 Contribution Agreement. The Borrower and the Guarantors have executed and delivered the Contribution Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of such parties enforceable against them in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

§6.30 Representations and Warranties of Guarantors. The Borrower has no knowledge that any of the representations or warranties of any Guarantor contained in any Loan Document to which such Guarantor is a party are untrue or inaccurate in any material respect.

§6.31 OFAC. None of the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, nor any of such Persons’ respective Subsidiaries, or any of such Persons’ respective directors, officers, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, employees, agents, advisors or Affiliates of Borrower or any Guarantor (a) is (or will be) a Person: (i) that is, or is owned or controlled by Persons that are: (x) the subject or target of any Sanctions Laws and Regulations or (y) located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of Sanctions Laws and Regulations, including, without limitation Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria or (ii) with whom any Lender is restricted from doing business under OFAC (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and (b) is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with any such Person described in the foregoing clause (a) (any such Person, a “Designated Person”). In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to provide to the Lenders any additional information reasonably necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any Sanctions Laws and Regulations) concerning money laundering and similar activities. Neither Borrower, any Guarantor, nor any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary, nor any Subsidiary, director or officer of Borrower, any Guarantor or any Unencumbered Property Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of Borrower, any Affiliate, agent or employee of Borrower or any Guarantor, has engaged in any activity or conduct which would violate any applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption or anti-money laundering laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction, including without limitation, any Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

Except as permitted under §§8.4 and 8.8, the Borrower and each Guarantor will preserve and keep in full force all of their rights and franchises and those of their respective Subsidiaries, the preservation of which is necessary to the conduct of their business (except with respect to Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Guarantors, where such failure has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). REIT shall at all times comply with all requirements and Applicable Laws necessary to maintain REIT Status and shall continue to receive REIT Status.

§7.7 Insurance. The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) will procure and maintain or cause to be procured and maintained insurance covering the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and the Real Estate in such amounts and against such risks and casualties as are customary for properties of similar character and location, due regard being given to the type of improvements thereon, their construction, location, use and occupancy; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not modify any obligation of a Tenant under a Lease with regard to the placement and maintenance of insurance. The Borrower shall pay all premiums on insurance policies.

§7.8 Taxes; Liens. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all material taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon them or upon the Unencumbered Pool Assets or the other Real Estate, sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom as well as all claims for labor, materials or supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its property or other property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries and all non-governmental assessments, levies, maintenance and other charges, whether resulting from covenants, conditions and restrictions or otherwise, water and sewer rents and charges assessments on any water stock, utility charges and assessments and owner association dues, fees and levies, provided that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to such property and the Borrower or applicable Guarantor or Subsidiary shall not be subject to any fine, suspension or loss of privileges or rights by reason of such proceeding, neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of sale, forfeiture, loss or suspension of operation by reason of such proceeding and the Borrower, such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP; and provided, further, that forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor, the Borrower, such Guarantor or any such Subsidiary either (i) will provide a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent and sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond is provided, will pay each such tax, assessment, charge or levy.

120

§7.9 Inspection of Properties and Books. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at the Borrower’s expense, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Borrower, each Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases and provided that, except after an Event of Default, such visits and inspections shall not include any intrusive or invasive environmental sampling, testing or investigation), to examine the books of account of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, partners or members, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such visits and inspections. In the event that the Agent or a Lender shall visit and inspect a property of a Subsidiary of the Borrower which is not a Guarantor, such visit and inspection shall be made with a representative of the Borrower (and the Borrower agrees to use reasonable efforts to make such representative available). The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of such Persons.

§7.10 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, and, to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Leases, will use reasonable efforts to cause the Tenants of the Unencumbered Pool Assets to, comply in all material respects (provided that the foregoing qualification shall not limit other provisions of this Agreement) with (a) all Applicable Laws now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted (excluding all Environmental Laws which are exclusively addressed in §8.6 below), (b) the provisions of its corporate charter, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and other formation, governing or charter documents and bylaws, (c) all material agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, (d) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, and (e) all licenses and permits required by Applicable Laws (excluding all Environmental Laws which are exclusively addressed in §8.6 below) for the conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where (x) in the case of any of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Tenant of any Unencumbered Pool Asset, failure to so comply with either clause (a), (c), (d) or (e) would not result in the material non-compliance with the items described in such clauses, and (y) with respect to any other Person, failure to so comply with clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), as the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. If any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any officer, agency or instrumentality of any government shall become necessary or required in order that the Borrower, any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary will promptly take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof. The Borrower shall develop and implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act (in all material respects) and shall promptly advise the Agent in writing in the event that the Borrower shall determine that any investors in the Borrower are in violation of such act.

121

§7.11 Further Assurances. The Borrower and each Guarantor will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§7.12 Limiting Agreements

(a) Neither Borrower, the Guarantors nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall enter into, any agreement, instrument or transaction which has or may have the effect of prohibiting or limiting Borrower’s, the Guarantors’ or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ ability to pledge to Agent any Unencumbered Pool Assets as security for the Obligations (provided that a requirement to maintain a pool of unencumbered properties to support financial covenants relating to other Unsecured Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement shall not violate the foregoing covenant). Borrower will not take, and will not permit the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to take, any action that would impair the right and ability of Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to pledge such assets as security for the Obligations without any such pledge after the date hereof causing or permitting the acceleration (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) of any other Indebtedness of Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(b) Borrower shall, upon demand, provide to the Agent such evidence as the Agent may reasonably require to evidence compliance with this §7.12, which evidence shall include, without limitation, copies of any agreements or instruments which would in any way restrict or limit the Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s or any Subsidiary’s ability to pledge Unencumbered Pool Assets as security for Indebtedness, or which provide for the occurrence of a default (after the giving of notice or the passage of time, or otherwise) if Unencumbered Pool Assets are pledged in the future as security for Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor.

§7.13 Reserved.

§7.14 Business Operations. REIT and its Subsidiaries shall operate their respective businesses in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields and lines of business as such business is now conducted and such other lines of business that are reasonably related or incidental or ancillary thereto and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Neither REIT nor the Borrower will, or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, engage in any line of business other than the acquisition, ownership, operation and development of primarily single-tenant net lease commercial income producing properties for office, retail and industrial uses, and such other lines of business that are reasonably related or incidental or ancillary thereto and in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

§7.15 Reserved.

§7.16 Reserved.

§7.17 Ownership of Real Estate. Without the prior written consent of the Agent, all Real Estate and all interests (whether direct or indirect) of REIT or the Borrower in any Real Estate assets now owned or leased or acquired or leased after the date hereof shall be owned or leased directly by the Borrower or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower; provided, however that the Borrower shall be permitted to own or lease interests in Real Estate through non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Borrower as permitted by §8.3(l).

122

§7.18 Distributions of Income to the Borrower. Subject to the last sentence of this §7.18, the Borrower shall cause all of its Subsidiaries (subject to the terms of any loan documents under which such Subsidiary is the borrower or a guarantor, including, without limitation, any restrictions on distributions of such Subsidiary set forth in instruments evidencing property-level Secured Indebtedness of such Subsidiary) to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less frequently than once each calendar quarter, unless otherwise approved by the Agent), whether in the form of dividends, distributions or otherwise, all profits, proceeds or other income relating to or arising from its Subsidiaries’ use, operation, financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of their respective assets and properties after (a) the payment by each Subsidiary of its debt service, operating expenses, any non-U.S., U.S. federal, state and local taxes payable by such Subsidiary, capital improvements and leasing commissions for such quarter, and (b) the establishment of reasonable reserves for the payment of (i) operating expenses not paid on at least a quarterly basis, (ii) capital improvements and tenant improvements to be made to such Subsidiary’s assets and properties approved by such Subsidiary in the course of its business consistent with its past practices and (iii) any non-U.S., U.S. federal, state and local taxes payable by such Subsidiary, (c) with respect to any Subsidiary which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, retention of such funds as REIT may reasonably determine to the extent that such distribution could reasonably be expected to affect the REIT’s ability to satisfy the income tests in Section 856(c) of the Code, and (d) with respect to Subsidiaries not organized under the laws of a political subdivision of the United States, retention of such funds as are necessary to comply with applicable legal restrictions, to preserve tax status, or otherwise to address currency exchange or other operating business issues as reasonably determined by the officers of the REIT. Neither the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries shall enter into any agreement that limits the ability of any Subsidiary to make a dividend or distribution payment to the Borrower or any Guarantor or to otherwise transfer any property to the Borrower or any Guarantor, provided, however, that this sentence shall not prohibit (x) any negative pledge incurred or provided in favor of any holder of Secured Indebtedness permitted under §8.1(h) and §8.1(i) solely to the extent any such negative pledge relates to the property financed by or the subject of such Indebtedness, and (y) any negative pledge or other such restriction on the making of dividend or distribution payments in the definitive documentation of any Unsecured Indebtedness that is not more onerous, when taken as a whole, than the terms of this Agreement, taken as a whole. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §7.18, any Subsidiary of Borrower not organized under the laws of a political subdivision of the United States shall not be required to make any distributions to the Borrower pursuant to this §7.18 (and Borrower shall have no obligation under this §7.18 to cause such Subsidiary to make any such distribution to Borrower), except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, in which event, after consultation with the Agent, Borrower shall cause each such Subsidiary to promptly make distributions to Borrower in accordance with the first sentence of this §7.18 (with the first of such distributions occurring no later than ten (10) Business Days after Agent directs Borrower to cause such distributions to be made).

123

§7.19 Plan Assets. The Borrower, the Guarantors and each of their respective Subsidiaries will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to ensure that none of its Real Estate will be deemed to be Plan Assets at any time.

124

(vi) No more than fifteen percent (15.0%) of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value shall be subject to Ground Leases, provided that any excess Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such Unencumbered Pool Asset(s) above such limit shall not, by itself, constitute a Default or Event of Default, but such excess shall be excluded from the calculation of Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value;

(vii) No more than twenty percent (20.0%) of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value shall be attributable to the same Tenant or its Affiliates (or twenty-five percent (25.0%) if such Tenant is an Investment Grade Tenant), provided that any excess Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such Unencumbered Pool Asset(s) above such limit shall not, by itself, constitute a Default or Event of Default, but such excess shall be excluded from the calculation of Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value;

(ix) At least forty percent (40.0%) of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value shall be attributable to Investment Grade Tenants, provided that any shortfall to such requirement shall not, by itself, constitute a Default or Event of Default, but Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to Unencumbered Pool Assets not leased to Investment Grade Tenants shall instead be reduced such that, after giving effect to such reduction, forty percent (40.0%) of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value shall be attributable to Investment Grade Tenants;

(x) the Eligible Real Estate included as Unencumbered Pool Assets shall at all times have in the aggregate a weighted average remaining lease term (calculated by weighting the remaining lease term of each such Eligible Real Estate (without regard to any extension options at the tenant’s discretion) by the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such Eligible Real Estate) of not less than five (5) years; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not be applicable at any time REIT has obtained and is maintaining an Investment Grade Rating from at least two (2) Rating Agencies;

(xi) No more than five percent (5.0%) of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value shall be attributable to Unencumbered Pool Assets that are “dark” (i.e., not being operated by the applicable Tenant (including any subtenant thereof) and in respect of which the applicable Tenant is paying in full the rent and other amounts due under its Lease for such Unencumbered Pool Asset and is in compliance with its other material obligations under its Lease), provided that any excess Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such Unencumbered Pool Asset(s) above such limit shall not, by itself, constitute a Default or Event of Default, but such excess shall be excluded from the calculation of Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value;

125

(xiv) there shall be at all times at least sixty-five (65) Unencumbered Pool Assets included in the calculation of Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value and the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value shall be at least Six Hundred Million Dollars ($600,000,000);

(xv) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent (A) a written request to include such Eligible Real Estate as an Unencumbered Pool Asset, (B) the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents, and such Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents shall have been approved by the Agent (in its reasonable discretion); provided, with respect to the initial Unencumbered Pool Assets set forth on Schedule 1.2 attached hereto, that the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents required to be delivered pursuant to this clause (xv) shall be deemed to be the “Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents” delivered pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and Agent hereby confirms its approval of the same, (C) a certification by the chief financial officer of REIT that such Real Estate qualifies as Eligible Real Estate and as to the matters covered under §7.20(a)(i)-(xiv) in the form of Exhibit “K” hereto (an “Unencumbered Pool Asset Certificate”), and (D) such other information as the Agent may reasonably require with respect to such Eligible Real Estate, including, but not limited to, any information required by the Agent to determine the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such Eligible Real Estate and compliance with this §7.20; and

(xvi) such Eligible Real Estate shall not have been excluded from the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value pursuant to §7.20(c), §7.20(d) or §7.20(e).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Real Estate does not qualify as an Eligible Real Estate or satisfy the requirements of §7.20(a), such Real Estate shall be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Majority Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value, and no Default or Event of Default shall arise hereunder solely as a result of such Real Estate failing to satisfy the specific requirements of Eligible Real Estate or §7.20(a) which initially disqualified such Real Estate from being included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value pursuant to §7.20(a). It is agreed and understood that any Real Estate included in the calculation of the “Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value” pursuant to §7.20(b) of the Existing Credit Agreement which is included in such calculation immediately prior to the Closing Date shall continue to be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value hereunder on the Closing Date so long as such Real Estate continues to satisfy the requirements of Eligible Real Estate and §7.20(a) hereof, except for such requirements which initially disqualified such Real Estate from being included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value under the Existing Credit Agreement.

126

(c) In the event that all or any material portion of any Unencumbered Pool Asset included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value shall be damaged in any material respect or taken by condemnation, then such property shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value unless and until (i) any damage to such real estate is repaired or restored, such real estate becomes fully operational and the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the value of such real estate following such repair or restoration (both at such time and prospectively) or (ii) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall not be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation. In the event that such damage or condemnation only partially affects such Unencumbered Pool Asset included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value, then the Agent may in good faith reduce the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable thereto based on such damage until such time as the Agent receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall no longer be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation.

(d) Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included as an Unencumbered Pool Asset, such asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value unless otherwise approved in writing by the Majority Lenders. Within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such asset. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent an updated Unencumbered Pool Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the conditions and covenants contained in §§7.20, 9.3 and 9.4.

(e) In addition, the Borrower may voluntarily remove any Real Estate from the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value by delivering to the Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to date on which such removal is to be effected, notice of such removal, together with a statement that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would, upon the occurrence of such event or with passage of time, result from such removal, the identity of the Unencumbered Pool Asset being removed, and a calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to such Unencumbered Pool Asset. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate and Unencumbered Pool Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in §7.20, §9.3 and §9.4.

127

§7.21 Management. The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into any Management Agreement with a manager other than Property Manager after the date hereof for any Unencumbered Pool Asset without the prior written consent of the Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

§7.22 Beneficial Ownership. Promptly following any change in beneficial ownership of the Borrower that would render any statement in an existing Beneficial Ownership Certification untrue or inaccurate, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent (for further delivery by the Agent to the Lenders in accordance with its customary practice) an updated Beneficial Ownership Certification for the Borrower.

§7.23 Sanctions Laws and Regulations. The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans or any Letter of Credit or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Guarantor, Subsidiary, Unconsolidated Affiliate or other Person (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Designated Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of such funding is itself the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations, (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations by any party to this Agreement, or (iii) in any manner that would cause the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to violate the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. None of the funds or assets of the Borrower or Guarantors that are used to pay any amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Designated Persons or countries which are themselves the subject of territorial sanctions under applicable Sanctions Laws and Regulations. Borrower shall maintain policies and procedures designed to achieve compliance with Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

None of the Borrower nor any Guarantor will, nor will any of them permit any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to, do any of the following: (a) use any of the Real Estate or any portion thereof as a facility for the generation, handling, processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances, except for quantities of Hazardous Substances used in the ordinary course of operating office, retail or industrial properties as permitted under this Agreement and in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (b) cause or permit to be located on any of the Real Estate any underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances except in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any of the Real Estate except in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (d) conduct any activity at any Real Estate or use any Real Estate in any manner that could reasonably be expected to cause a Release of Hazardous Substances on, upon or into the Real Estate or any surrounding properties or any threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under CERCLA or any other Environmental Law, or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Substances (except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws), except, in each case under this §8.6, (i) with respect to any Real Estate that is not an Unencumbered Pool Asset, where any such use, generation, conduct or other activity does not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) with respect to any Unencumbered Pool Asset included in the calculation of Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value where such use, generation, conduct or other activity does not have and could not reasonably be expected, when taken with other matters covered by §6.19 or this §8.6, to result in liability, clean-up, remediation, containment, correction or other costs to Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries individually or in the aggregate with other Unencumbered Pool Assets in excess of $10,000,000.00 or materially adversely affect the operation of or ability to use such property or the health and safety of the tenants or other occupants of such property; provided, that Borrower shall diligently use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue corrective, remedial and other actions required to bring such Unencumbered Pool Asset into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.

135

The Borrower and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to:

(i) in the event of any change in applicable Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take reasonable action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous Substances which are the subject of such change in applicable Environmental Laws were Released or disposed of on the Unencumbered Pool Assets in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, except with respect to any issues which have been previously remediated in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws; and

(ii) if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may be reasonably likely otherwise to expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on the Unencumbered Pool Assets (including, without limitation, any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Unencumbered Pool Asset by the Borrower or any Guarantor), the Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Unencumbered Pool Assets as required and in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of the Borrower and a Guarantor shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the extent required under applicable Environmental Laws to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and no action shall have been commenced or filed by any enforcement agency. The Agent may engage its own Environmental Engineer to review the environmental assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.

(iii) At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, the Agent may at its election (and will at the request of the Majority Lenders) obtain such environmental assessments of any or all of the Unencumbered Pool Assets prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (A) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or migrating to or from any such Unencumbered Pool Asset in violation of applicable Environmental Laws and (B) whether the use and operation of any such Unencumbered Pool Asset complies with all applicable Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the Majority Lenders shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which otherwise may be reasonably likely to expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Unencumbered Pool Asset, or that any of the Unencumbered Pool Assets is not in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall promptly upon the request of the Agent obtain and deliver to the Agent such environmental assessments of such Unencumbered Pool Asset prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (A) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or migrating to or from such Unencumbered Pool Asset in violation of applicable Environmental Laws and (B) whether the use and operation of such Unencumbered Pool Asset comply with all applicable Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Unencumbered Pool Asset including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry xxxxx and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a determination of the compliance of such Unencumbered Pool Asset and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws. All environmental assessments contemplated by this §8.6 shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

136

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, including an Event of Default related to any financial covenant set forth in this Agreement, (i) Borrower and REIT may request the Majority Lenders’ consent to a Distribution that is not a Distribution permitted by the immediately preceding sentence, which consent shall be granted or withheld in the sole, but good faith, business judgment of the Majority Lenders, (ii) Borrower and REIT may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire Equity Interests issued by it with the proceeds received from the substantially concurrent issue (occurring in under thirty (30) days) of new Equity Interests, (iii) Borrower, REIT and each Subsidiary may make payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares representing insignificant interests in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Interests of REIT, Borrower or any Subsidiary, (iv) Borrower, REIT and each Subsidiary may make non-cash Distributions in connection with the implementation of or pursuant to any retirement, health, stock option and other benefit plans, bonus plans, performance-based incentive plans, and other similar forms of compensation for the benefit of the directors, officers and employees of REIT, Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and (v) the REIT or the Borrower may, and the Borrower may make dividends or distributions to the REIT to allow the REIT to make, any (x) redemption or cash settlement payments and (y) any cash interest payments, in each case, in accordance with the terms of any series of convertible Indebtedness of the REIT or the Borrower which is issued by the REIT or the Borrower and otherwise permitted hereunder (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that all obligations of REIT or Borrower with respect to such convertible Indebtedness shall continue to constitute Indebtedness for purposes of this Agreement until such convertible Indebtedness is converted to Equity Interests, repaid or retired in accordance with the terms thereof). For purposes of this §8.7(a), Distributions shall not include any Dividend Reinvestment Proceeds.

137

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in §8.7(a), at any time REIT has obtained and is maintaining an Investment Grade Rating from at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies, the limitation on Distributions set forth in §8.7(a) shall not be applicable; provided, however, that except as expressly set forth in §8.7(c), the Borrower shall not pay any Distribution to the partners, members or other owners of the Borrower, and REIT shall not pay any Distribution to its owners, if an Event of Default under §§12.1(a), 12.1(b), 12.1(g), 12.1(h) or 12.1(i) shall have occurred and be continuing or if the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated.

(c) If an Event of Default under §§12.1(a), 12.1(b), 12.1(g), 12.1(h) or 12.1(i) shall have occurred and be continuing or if the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated, the Borrower shall make no Distributions to its partners, members or other owners, and REIT shall not pay any Distribution to its owners, other than Distributions in an amount equal to the minimum distributions required under the Code to maintain the REIT Status of REIT, as evidenced by a certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of the Borrower containing calculations in detail reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent.

In addition, neither the Borrower, the Guarantors nor any respective Subsidiary thereof shall sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any assets in a single or a series of related transactions with an aggregate value greater than twenty percent (20%) of the Consolidated Total Asset Value without the prior written approval of the Majority Lenders, provided that Borrower, Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such assets in an arm’s length transaction, so long as (i) if such asset is an Unencumbered Pool Asset, then Borrower shall have complied with §7.20(e) and (ii) Borrower and REIT will remain in pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in §8 and §9 after giving effect to such transaction.

§8.9 Restriction on Prepayment of Indebtedness. The Borrower and the Guarantors will not, and will not permit their respective Subsidiaries to, (a) during the existence of any Default arising from Borrower’s failure to pay any amounts due under the Loan Documents or any Event of Default, optionally prepay, redeem, defease, purchase or otherwise retire the principal amount, in whole or in part, of any Indebtedness other than the Obligations; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (x) the prepayment of Indebtedness which is financed solely from the incurrence of Indebtedness which would otherwise be permitted by the terms of §8.1; and (y) the prepayment, redemption, defeasance or other retirement of the principal of Indebtedness secured by Real Estate which is satisfied solely from the proceeds of a sale of the Real Estate securing such Indebtedness; or (b) modify any document evidencing any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) to accelerate the maturity date or required payments of principal of such Indebtedness during the existence of an Event of Default.

§12.2 Certain Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days after the date such payment is due (or, with respect to any payments other than interest on the Loans, any reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letters of Credit or any fees due under the Loan Documents, within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Agent), provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to receive more than two (2) grace or cure periods in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days ending on the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further, that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(d) in the event that the Borrower cures (or causes to be cured) such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of such default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to defaults consisting of a failure to comply with §§7.4(c), 7.12, 7.18, 7.19, 7.20, 8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.7, or 8.8 or to any Default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents, (iii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(s) in the event that the Borrower cures (or causes to be cured) such failure within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of such failure; and (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(c) in the event that the Borrower cures (or causes to be cured) such failure within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice of such failure, provided that (A) the provisions of this clause (iv) shall not pertain to defaults consisting of a failure to comply with §§9.2 or 9.7, and (B) upon the Agent becoming aware of any such failure which Borrower is permitted to cure pursuant to this clause (iv), and during the existence thereof, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit, or to permit or consent to (1) any Commitment Increase pursuant to §2.11, (2) any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to §2.12, (3) any release of a Guarantor pursuant to §5.3 or (4) any removal by Borrower of any Real Estate from the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value pursuant to 7.20(e). In the event that any Unencumbered Pool Asset shall fail to satisfy the requirements set forth in §7.20(a)(i)-(iv) or (x), and such Real Estate asset has not otherwise been included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value pursuant to §7.20(b) notwithstanding such particular non-compliance, such failure shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default if such Unencumbered Pool Asset is removed from the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value pursuant to §7.20(d).

147

(b) In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Unencumbered Pool Assets or the owner(s) thereof, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by electing to have the Agent remove such Unencumbered Pool Assets from the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Aggregate Asset Value and, to the extent required hereunder in connection with such removal, by reducing the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit or other Unsecured Indebtedness of REIT and its Subsidiaries so that no Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Majority Lenders.

§12.3 Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(g), 12.1(h), or 12.1(i) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to and issue Letters of Credit for the Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower or the Guarantors of their obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

148

§12.4 Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §12.1, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Majority Lenders, shall proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If the Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, the Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by the Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within thirty (30) days after demand bear interest at the Default Rate. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.

§12.5 Distribution of Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;

(b) Second, to all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Insolvency Law) in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2, (iii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses and Hedge Obligations (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders and Lender Hedge Providers, pro rata, and as between the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans pro rata; and provided, further that the Majority Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

149

§12.6 Collateral Account.

(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, Swing Loans and the other Obligations and Hedge Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this §12.6.

(b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.

(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If a Swing Loan is not refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.5 above, then the Agent is authorized to use monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to any participation not funded by a Defaulting Lender.

(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations and Hedge Obligations in accordance with §12.5.

(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans at such time.

150

(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein. The Borrower authorizes the Agent to file such financing statements as the Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral Account, and the Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to the Agent such other documents as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence its security interest in the Collateral Account.

§13. SETOFF.

Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default under §12.1(a) or §12.1(b), including in connection with any acceleration of the Obligations, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower or the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and each Guarantor) but with the prior written approval of the Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or a Guarantor, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

151

§14. the Agent.

§14.1 Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. The Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§14.2 Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.

§14.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) any action taken or not taken by the Agent with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders, the Required Term Loan Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

152

§14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any collateral or any other assets of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented the Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between the Agent’s Special Counsel and the Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents.

§14.5 Payments.

(a) A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with §2.13(d).

(b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. In the event that the Agent shall refrain from making any distribution of any amount received by it as provided in this §14.5(b), the Agent shall endeavor to hold such amounts in an interest bearing account and at such time as such amounts may be distributed to the Lenders, the Agent shall distribute to each Lender, based on their respective Commitment Percentages, its pro rata share of the interest or other earnings from such deposited amount.

153

§14.6 Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

§14.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower and the Guarantors as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

§14.8 The Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.

§14.9 Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any such resignation may at the Agent’s option also constitute the Agent’s resignation as the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within ten (10) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as the Agent and, if applicable, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender. If the resigning Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.

154

§14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Majority Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, the Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower or the Guarantors within such period. The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

§14.11 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Insolvency Law is commenced by or against the Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be subject to the vote of the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless the Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Lenders requesting that the Agent file such proof of claim.

§14.12 Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent (or Issuing Lender, as applicable) shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower and/or the Guarantors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

155

§14.13 Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, the Majority Lenders, the Required Term Loan Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the request for action from the Agent together with all reasonably requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively, “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of the Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to the Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the same subject matter is requested by the Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. The Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless the Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in writing.

§14.14 The Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower or any Guarantor, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower.

§14.15 Reliance on Hedge Provider. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with §§12.1, 12.5, 12.6 or any other provision of the Loan Documents, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the holder of the Hedge Obligations for a determination (which each holder of the Hedge Obligations agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Agent) of the outstanding Hedge Obligations owed to the holder thereof. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from such holder) to the contrary, the Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedge Obligations are outstanding.

156

§14.16 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender (any such Lender, Issuing Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this §14.16(a) and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

157

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this §14.16(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Agent pursuant to this §14.16(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to §14.16(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c) Each Lender or Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender or Issuing Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender or Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class of Loans with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement by reference pursuant to an approved electronic platform as to which the Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender, (D) the Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consent required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

158

(ii) Subject to §18.1 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that, the Borrower’s and Guarantors’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Guarantor; provided that this §14.16(e) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for) or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower or any Guarantor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

159

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

161

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents (other than any indemnification obligations which survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the full repayment of the Loans and any other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) remains outstanding or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents and the Borrower’s obligations under §§4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein.

162

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

§18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities (but not to any natural person) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided that (a) the Agent, the Issuing Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if the Borrower does not respond to any such request for consent within ten (10) Business Days, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented (provided that no consent shall be required under this clause (a) for any assignment to another Lender, to a Related Fund, to a lender or an Affiliate of a Lender which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the assigning Lender or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender), (b) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment in the event an interest in the Revolving Credit Loans is assigned, or of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans and the Term Loan Commitment, if any, in the event an interest in the Term Loans is assigned, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an assignment and acceptance agreement in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance Agreement”), together with any Notes subject to such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to any natural person or any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower or any Guarantor or be to a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such assignee of a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower), (f) such assignee shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower and (g) if such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment, the assigning Lender shall retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower). Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder (including the obligations in §4.3(g)), (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect such assignment. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the Borrower and/or any Guarantor and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default exists hereunder, no assignment pursuant to this §18.1 shall be to another real estate investment trust which owns or operates real estate for occupancy by a single tenant for office, retail or industrial uses and could reasonably be considered a competitor of REIT or any Affiliate of such competitor of REIT (but, with respect to any such Affiliate, solely to the extent such Person is recognizable as an Affiliate of such competitor of REIT due to the appearance of the name of such competitor of REIT in the name of such Affiliate) (a “Competitor REIT”); provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall cease to be effective (i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to §12.1(g), (h) or (i), and (ii) at any time which is at least sixty (60) days after any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

163

§18.2 Register. The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,000.00.

§18.3 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from the Agent, the Borrower, at the applicable assignee’s own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered original Note (or an indemnity agreement, as provided in §31), a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered original Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower (or the Borrower shall receive an indemnity agreement, as provided in §31).

§18.4 Participations. Each Lender may, without the consent of Agent or Borrower, sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities (but not to any natural person) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §§4.3, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 13, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such sale is effected in accordance with all Applicable Laws, and (f) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by the Borrower and/or any Guarantor and shall not be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender and, unless (X) an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to §12.1(g), (h) or (i) and is continuing at the time such participation is made, or (Y) any other Event of Default has occurred and has continued for a period of sixty (60) days or more at the time such participation is made, shall not be a Competitor REIT; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender (other than pursuant to an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to §2.12), (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement). Any Lender which sells a participation shall promptly notify the Agent of such sale and the identity of the purchaser of such interest. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

164

§18.5 Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341, any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, or to such other Person as the Agent may approve to secure obligations of such Lender. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

§18.6 No Assignment by the Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.

§18.7 Disclosure. The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. The Borrower and the Guarantors each agree that any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder in accordance with standard banking practices (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7). The Agent and each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from the Borrower or any Guarantor that has been identified in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and/or a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of the Agent or such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of the Agent or such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, the Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure by the Agent or such Lender (other than any such request in connection with any examination or oversight of such Lender by such Governmental Authority or other requests by regulators that are not part of an examination) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose such non-public information to a Competitor REIT in connection with any such proposed assignment or participation unless (X) an Event of Default has occurred pursuant to §12.1(g), (h) or (i) and is continuing at the time such disclosure is made, or (Y) any other Event of Default has occurred and has continued for a period of sixty (60) days or more at the time such disclosure is made, or the Borrower has consented to such disclosure (or is deemed to have consented pursuant to §18.1), and shall not disclose such non-public information to a Competitor REIT for any other reason. In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender or the Agent, or prior to the delivery to the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is within the possession of the Agent or such Lender if such information is not known by the Agent or such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower or the Guarantors, is or becomes available to Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential basis, or is disclosed with the prior approval of the Borrower or the Guarantors. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.

165

§18.8 Mandatory Assignment. In the event the Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request requires approval of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders directly affected thereby or another group of requisite Lenders and is approved by the Majority Lenders, but is either (x) expressly disapproved by one or more of the Lenders, or (y) any such Lender fails to respond to such request within thirty (30) days after Agent provides notice to such Lender (which notice shall be delivered by Agent promptly upon request by Borrower thereof) that such Lender shall be subject to the Non-Consenting Lender provisions of this §18.8 if it fails to respond to such request within such thirty (30) day period (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within thirty (30) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval, or such failure to respond within the thirty (30) day period prescribed in clause (y) above, by such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender to transfer its Loans and Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Loans and Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans and Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Loans and Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Loans and Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and such Non-Consenting Lender’s original Note. If such Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation reasonably requested by the Agent to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Agent after the later of (i) the date on which such purchaser or assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation and (ii) the date on which the Non-Consenting Lender receives all payments required to be paid to it by this §18.8, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall, to the extent permissible by Applicable Law, be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this §18.8 to the contrary, any Lender or other Lender assignee acquiring some or all of the assigned Loans and Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender must consent to the proposed amendment, modification or waiver. The purchase price for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans and Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable amounts payable pursuant to §4.7 which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans and Commitment (provided that the Borrower may pay to such Non-Consenting Lender any interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal) owing to such Non-Consenting Lender).

166

§18.9 Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment.

§18.10 Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.

if to any other Lender which is a party hereto, at the address for such Lender set forth on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto, and to any Lender which may hereafter become a party to this Agreement, at such address as may be designated by such Lender. Each Notice shall be effective upon being personally delivered or upon being sent by overnight courier or upon being deposited in the United States Mail as aforesaid, or if transmitted by telecopy (if permitted hereunder), upon being sent and confirmation of receipt. The time period in which a response to such Notice must be given or any action taken with respect thereto (if any), however, shall commence to run from the date of receipt if personally delivered or sent by overnight courier, or if so deposited in the United States Mail, the earlier of three (3) Business Days following such deposit or the date of receipt as disclosed on the return receipt. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving at least fifteen (15) days prior Notice thereof, the Borrower, a Lender or the Agent shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the term of this Agreement to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.

(b) Loan Documents and notices under the Loan Documents may, with Agent’s approval, be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile and by signatures delivered in “PDF” format by electronic mail. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to Applicable Law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on the Borrower, the Guarantors, Agent and Lenders. Agent may also require that any such documents and signature delivered by facsimile or “PDF” format by electronic mail be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed original shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile or “PDF” document or signature.

168

(c) Notices and other communications to the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent (it being understood and agreed that Agent has approved communications of the information described in §§7.4(a) and (b) being provided at xxxx://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/), provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to §2 if such Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, e-mail or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

§34. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

If an Automatic Alternative Currency Conversion Trigger shall occur, the amount of all Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities denominated in an Alternative Currency shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts, determined by the Agent on the basis of the Spot Rate determined on the Automatic Alternative Currency Conversion Date, and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities denominated in an Alternative Currency shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder.

§36. JUDGMENT CURRENCY.

For the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court if it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one Currency expressed to be payable herein (the “Specified Currency”) into another Currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with such other currency at the Agent’s main Cleveland, Ohio office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a Currency other than the Specified Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other Currency such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the Specified Currency with such other Currency. If the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, in the Specified Currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender (including the Agent), as the case may be, against such loss, and to pay such additional amounts upon demand from Agent. All of the Borrower's obligations under this §36 shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

175

§37. WAIVER OF CLAIMS.

Borrower for itself and the Guarantors acknowledges, represents and agrees that Borrower and Guarantors as of the date hereof have no defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and this Agreement), the administration or funding of the “Loans” or the “Letters of Credit” (as such terms are defined in the Existing Credit Agreement and this Agreement), or with respect to any acts or omissions of Agent or any Lender, or any past or present officers, agents or employees of Agent or any Lender (whether under the Existing Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any of such “Loan Documents”), and each of Borrower and Guarantors does hereby expressly waive, release and relinquish any and all such defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims and causes of action arising on or before the date hereof, if any.

§38. CONSENT TO AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; EFFECT OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.

Pursuant to §27 of the Existing Credit Agreement, KeyBank as the Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement and each Lender hereby consents to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the amendment or amendment and restatement of the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), and by execution hereof the Lenders authorize the Agent to enter into such agreements. On the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement, except as specifically set forth herein, shall thereafter be of no further force and effect and shall be deemed replaced and superseded in all respects by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not constitute a novation or termination of the “Obligations” under the Existing Credit Agreement, which remain outstanding as of the Closing Date. All interest and fees accrued and unpaid under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the date of this Agreement shall be due and payable in the amount determined pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement for periods prior to the Closing Date on the next payment date for such interest or fee set forth in this Agreement.

176

§39. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for a Derivatives Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

§00. ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES.

For the purposes hereof, “Electronic Signatures” means an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in that party’s constitutive documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among any of the Agent or the Lenders and any of the Borrower or Guarantors, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of such Loan Document, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.
