(e)Β Indemnification by the Lenders.Β Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative 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.Β The indemnity under this SectionΒ 2.11(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent.Β Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

9.9Β Successor Administrative Agent.Β The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 daysβ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.Β If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term βAdministrative Agentβ shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agentβs rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans; provided, however, that at any time when the Administrative Agent is ColFin GNE Loan Funding, LLC, C-III Investments LLC or an Affiliate of either of them, then it shall immediately resign as Administrative Agent upon the written request of the Required Lenders in the event that any Affiliate of such Administrative Agent is not a Lender.Β If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agentβs notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agentβs resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.Β After any retiring Administrative Agentβs resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this SectionΒ 9 and of SectionΒ 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

(b) (i)Β Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an βAssigneeβ), other than a natural person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
Β
59
(ii)Β The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption and (2)Β the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent.Β The Borrower agrees that it will cooperate with such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to effect such assignment.
(iii)Β Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraphΒ (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lenderβs rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of SectionsΒ 2.10, 2.11 and 10.5).Β Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this SectionΒ 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)Β of this Section.
(iv)Β The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the βRegisterβ).Β The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(v)Β Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)Β of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.Β No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)Β Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a βParticipantβ) in all or a portion of such Lenderβs rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A)Β such Lenderβs obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B)Β such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C)Β the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenderβs rights and obligations under this Agreement.Β Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1)Β requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of SectionΒ 10.1 and (2)Β directly affects such Participant.Β The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under SectionΒ 2.11(f) (it being
Β
60
understood that the documentation required under SectionΒ 2.11(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)Β of this Section; provided that such Participant (A)Β agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b)Β of this Section; and (B)Β shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.Β To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SectionΒ 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to SectionΒ 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.Β 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 Participantβs interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the βParticipant Registerβ); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participantβs interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under SectionΒ 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.
(d)Β Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e)Β The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d)Β above.
10.7Β Adjustments; Set-off.Β (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a βBenefitted Lenderβ) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to SectionΒ 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in SectionΒ 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
Β
61
(b)Β In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower.Β Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.
10.8Β Counterparts.Β This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.Β Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.Β A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
10.9Β Severability.Β Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.10Β Integration.Β This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
