On any date of determination for the applicable Real Estate and with respect to any period, the sum of (i) Net Operating Income from such Real Estate for the trailing four (4) calendar quarter period, less (ii) the Capital Reserves for such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the calculation above for assets that were Development Properties that became Stabilized Properties within the prior four (4) calendar quarter period, the calculation of Net Operating Income shall be calculated (a) until the end of the second (2nd) full calendar month after becoming a Stabilized Property, by multiplying the pro forma Net Operating Income for such Real Estate (as reasonably approved by Agent) for the first (1st) full calendar month after such Real Estate becomes a Stabilized Property by twelve (12), and (b) thereafter until there are four (4) calendar quarters of actual results, by annualizing the actual Net Operating Income for such Real Estate for the full calendar months occurring after such Real Estate became a Stabilized Property.

Affected Lender. See §4.14(b).

Affiliate. An Affiliate, as applied to any Person, shall mean any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, that Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means (a) the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to vote ten percent (10%) or more of the stock, shares, voting trust certificates, beneficial interest, partnership interests, member interests or other interests having voting power for the election of directors of such Person or otherwise to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of that Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise, or (b) the ownership of (i) a general partnership interest, or (ii) a managing member’s or manager’s interest in a limited liability company.

Applicable Law. All applicable provisions of constitutions, statutes, rules, regulations, guidelines and orders of all Governmental Authorities and all orders and decrees of all courts, tribunals and arbitrators.

Applicable Margin. (a) On any date, the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans shall be a percentage per annum as set forth below based on the ratio of the Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value:



Pricing Level	Ratio	Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans	Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans
Pricing Level 1	Less than 50%	2.50%	1.50%
Pricing Xxxxx 0	Equal to or greater than 50% but less than 55%	2.75%	1.75%
Pricing Xxxxx 0	Equal to or greater than 55% but less than 60%	3.00%	2.00%
Pricing Xxxxx 0	Equal to or greater than 60%	3.25%	2.25%

The initial Applicable Margin shall be at Pricing Level 1. At such time as this subparagraph (a) is applicable, the Applicable Margin for each Base Rate Loan shall be determined by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value in effect from time to time, and the Applicable Margin for any Interest Period for all LIBOR Rate Loans comprising part of the same

borrowing shall be determined by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value in effect on the first (1st) day of such Interest Period. The Applicable Margin shall not be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, until the first (1st) day of the first (1st) month following the delivery by the REIT to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate after the end of a calendar quarter. In the event that the REIT 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 for Loans shall be at Pricing Level 4 commencing on the first (1st) Business Day following such failure and continuing until such failure is cured within any applicable cure period, or waived in writing by the Required Lenders, in which event the Applicable Margin shall adjust, if necessary, on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) month following receipt of such Compliance Certificate.

In the event that the Agent, the REIT or the Borrower determine 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 pursuant to this subparagraph (a) (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.

(b) From and after the date that Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that Borrower has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating and Borrower delivers a written notice to Agent irrevocably electing to have the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subparagraph (b), the Applicable Margin for the Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level as set forth below:



Pricing Level	Credit Rating Level	Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans	Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans
I	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.875%	0.00%
II	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	0.925%	0.00%
III	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	1.05%	0.05%
IV	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	1.25%	0.25%
V	Credit Rating Xxxxx 0	1.65%	0.65%

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 LIBOR Rate 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 and Borrower’s irrevocable election to have the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subparagraph (b) or a change in such Credit Rating Level. From and after the first date that the Applicable Margin is based on Borrower’s Investment Grade Rating pursuant to this subparagraph (b), the Applicable Margin shall no longer be calculated by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross

Asset Value (provided that any accrued interest payable at the Applicable Margin determined by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value prior to such date shall be payable as provided in §2.6).

Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor. See §7.7(a)(i).

Appraisal. An MAI appraisal of the value of a parcel of Real Estate, determined on an “as-is” market value basis, performed by an independent appraiser selected by the Agent who is not an employee of the REIT, the Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries, the Agent or a Lender, the form and substance of such appraisal and the identity of the appraiser to be in compliance with the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, the rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto and all other regulatory laws and policies (both regulatory and internal) applicable to the Lenders and otherwise acceptable to the Agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time none of the Rating Agencies shall perform the functions of a securities rating agency, then Borrower and the Agent shall promptly negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency (and to correlate the system of ratings of such substitute rating agency with that of the rating agency being replaced), and pending such amendment, the Credit Rating of any Rating Agency in effect immediately prior to such time, shall continue to apply, provided that the designation of such replacement agency and such amendment are completed within forty-five (45) days of such event, and if not so completed within such forty-five (45) day period, Credit Rating Xxxxx 0 xxxxx xx the applicable Credit Rating Level until such time as Borrower obtains a Credit Rating from two or more Rating Agencies.

the Borrower or the Agent, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders shall negotiate promptly, diligently and in good faith in order to amend the provisions of the Loan Documents such that such financial covenant, ratio or other requirement shall continue to provide substantially the same financial tests or restrictions of the Borrower and the Guarantors as in effect prior to such accounting change or change in Applicable Law, as determined by the Required Lenders in their good faith judgment. Until such time as such amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Required Lenders, such financial covenants, ratio and other requirements, and all financial statements and other documents required to be delivered under the Loan Documents, shall be calculated and reported as if such change had not occurred.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 000-00-00 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

(m) To the extent that any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document is qualified by “Material Adverse Effect” or any other materiality qualifier, then any further qualifier as to representations and warranties being true and correct “in all material respects” contained elsewhere in the Loan Documents shall not apply with respect to any such representations and warranties.

§1.3 Financial Attributes of Unconsolidated Affiliates and Subsidiaries that are not Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, when determining the REIT’s or Borrower’s compliance with any financial covenant contained in any of the Loan Documents, only the REIT’s or Borrower’s Equity Percentage of the financial attributes of an Unconsolidated Affiliate or Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall be included.


§2.	THE CREDIT FACILITY.


§2.1	Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with §2.7, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to such Lender’s Commitment; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s 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 §§10 and 11, as applicable, 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 Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower or participate in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment.

(b) The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit B 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 Lender in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such 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 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.


§2.2	[Intentionally Omitted].


§2.3	Unused Fee; Facility Fee.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum as set forth below on the daily amount (as of the end of each day) by which the Total Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities, during each calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Maturity Date, subject to §2.3(b). The Unused Fee shall be calculated for each day based on the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) the daily amount (as of the end of each day) of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities during such quarter to (b) the Total Commitment and if such ratio is less than fifty percent (50%), the Unused Fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.30%, and if such ratio is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%), the Unused Fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.25%. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1^st) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Maturity Date.

(b) From and after the date that Agent receives written notice that Borrower has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating 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 Lenders in accordance with their respective 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 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 calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Maturity Date. 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 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 reduce by $5,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (provided that in no event shall the Total Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than fifty percent (50.0%) of the highest Total Commitment at any time existing under this Agreement) or to terminate entirely the Commitments, whereupon the Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective 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 Commitments of the 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 Lenders of the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Commitments shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000.00) in the maximum amount of Swing Loans and Letters of Credit. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders the full amount of any fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the 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) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the 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; and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. 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 Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the

Swing Loan Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the 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. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §00 (xxx §00 in connection with the making of the initial Swing Loan unless a Revolving Credit Loan has been made or a Letter of Credit has already been issued) have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless the Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within one (1) Business Day of demand by Agent but in any event no later than 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 C 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.

(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 $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. 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. 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 two (2) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each Lender to make a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s 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 Lenders that such Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such LIBOR Rate Loan will

not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a LIBOR Rate 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 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 funds immediately available no later than one (1) Business Day after the date such request was made by the Swing Line Lender just as if the 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 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 Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each 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 Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Lender such 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 Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such 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 Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.

(g) Each Lender’s obligation to fund a 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 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 the 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, the Borrower and the Swing Loan Lender as against such Lender as a Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non‑purchasing Lender, thereby making such 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 Lender under its Commitment.


§2.6	Interest on Loans.

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

(b) Each LIBOR Rate 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 LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

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

§2.7 Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D hereto) of each Revolving Credit 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 Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit 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 REIT that the Borrower and Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the 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 Revolving Credit Loan as required by this Agreement. Subject to §2.10(f) below, each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $500,000.00 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.


§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, each of the Lenders, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each such Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §11 (and in connection with the making of the initial Loan unless a Letter of Credit has already been issued, §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 made available to the Agent by the 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 Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other 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 that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, the Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to the Agent 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 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%).

§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, development and capital improvements, (d) to repurchase shares of the REIT in connection with the listing of the REIT on an exchange, provided that such payments shall be made within ninety (90) days of such listing and shall not exceed $150,000,000.00 in the aggregate, and (e) general corporate and working capital 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 thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the 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 Commitment, (iii) in no event shall 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 Commitment, (iv) the conditions set forth in §11 (and, in connection with the issuance of the initial Letter of Credit unless a Loan has already been made, §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 Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the 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 §§10 and 11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a 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 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 in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the 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 Maturity Date in which event the Borrower shall be obligated to deliver to the Issuing Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the 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. 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 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 executive officer, president or chief financial officer of the REIT that the Borrower and Guarantors 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 is in the form of Exhibit F 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, 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.

(d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other 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%) per annum 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 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 LIBOR Rate 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, 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, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (the Borrower being deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (and without regard to the limitations of §2.7 which shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection) and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telecopy, email, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such 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 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 Swing Loans and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such 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 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 Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other 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 Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each 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 Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each 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 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 Lender any such 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 Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such 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 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, provided, that payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of such draft or document shall not have been the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (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) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or any Lender, provided, that such other causes shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods. 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 with respect to any Letter of Credit 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 court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods or as a result of Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.


§2.11	Increase in Total Commitment.

(a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 Maturity Date to request one or more increases in the Total Commitment to an aggregate amount of not more than $400,000,000.00 by giving written notice to the Agent (each, an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is a “Commitment Increase”); provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000.00 and increments of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof unless otherwise approved by the Agent in its sole discretion. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent, the Arrangers and the Borrower shall determine the Lenders (which may be new Lenders) to be approached and the proposed allocations of the Commitment Increase. In no event shall any Lender be obligated to increase its Commitment.

(b) On any effective date of any Commitment Increase (the “Commitment Increase Date”) the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s 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 Lenders in Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date, each of those Lenders whose Commitment

Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages.

(c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11, 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 a new Revolving Credit Note for (i) each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Commitment, and (ii) each new Lender in the principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Note to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new Revolving Credit Notes shall be dated as of the applicable Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the existing Revolving Credit Notes; provided that such new Revolving Credit Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed shall also provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and that they do not constitute a novation. Simultaneously with such increase, 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 the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement. The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment 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 Commitment:

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

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

(iii) Commitment Increase Letter. The Agent shall have received a commitment increase letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent duly executed by Borrower, the Guarantors, each new Lender that is becoming a Lender in connection with such increase and each existing Lender, if any, participating in such increase, which confirmation shall be acknowledged by the Agent; and

(iv) 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 or the Guarantors 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 Commitment Increase Date, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased (except (A) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct on and as of such earlier date, or (B) for changes in factual circumstances which are expressly and specifically permitted by this Agreement); and

(v) Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the Lenders such additional documents (including, without limitation, amendments to the Security Documents), instruments, certifications, resolutions, updated corporate authority documents, updated good standing certificates and updated foreign qualification documents 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) and the Borrower shall pay the cost of any endorsement or update to the mortgagee’s title insurance policy or if an endorsement is not available, a mortgagee’s title insurance policy if required by Agent, any updated UCC searches, all recording costs and fees, if any, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary or mortgage taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are incurred by the Agent, the Arrangers or the Lenders in connection with such increase; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be entitled to increase the amount of any mortgagee’s title insurance policy as a result of such Commitment Increase except as a result of an increase in the Appraised Value of a Credit Support Property or if a new mortgagee’s title insurance policy is obtained as provided above.


§2.12	Extension of Maturity Date.

The Borrower shall have the one-time right and option to extend the Maturity Date to January 14, 2020, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Maturity Date:

(a) Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (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 sixty (60) days prior to the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension). Any such Extension Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(b) Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to fifteen (15) basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension), which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.

(c) No Default. On the date the Extension Request is given and on the effective date of such extension, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.

(d) 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 and the Guarantors 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 the Extension Request is given and on the effective date of such extension (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation

or warranty shall be true and correct on and as of such earlier date, or (ii) for changes in factual circumstances which are expressly and specifically permitted by this Agreement).

(e) Compliance. There shall be sufficient Credit Support Properties to comply with §9.1 as in effect after the Initial Maturity Date, and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent evidence that Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenants in §9.2 and §9.5 following the Initial Maturity Date.

Such extension of the Maturity Date shall be effective upon the later of (i) the date such notice is given and (ii) the date the extension fee is paid; provided, that Borrower has certified to the Agent in writing that the conditions in §2.12(c)-(e) have also been satisfied. Agent shall promptly notify Borrower in writing when the extension is effective (provided no such acknowledgment shall constitute a waiver of any misrepresentation or other Default or Event of Default).


§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 Lenders, all of the Lenders or affected Lenders, shall, except as specifically provided in §27, 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 Required 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. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but 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 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 Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the conditions set forth in §11 (and in connection with the making of the initial Loan or issuance of the initial Letter of Credit, §10) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (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 such time), (iii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such reallocation with the same effect as though made on and as of such date (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct on and as of such earlier date, or (ii) for changes in factual circumstances which are expressly and specifically permitted by this Agreement), and (iv) the aggregate obligation of each 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 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 Commitment Percentage (computed while still giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans (prior to giving effect to such reallocation). 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; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis 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 (with respect to Swing Loans) 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 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 or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11, as applicable, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Credit 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 and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Credit 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 Loan, shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.

(e) Within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the 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). 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 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 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. Within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall prepay any Swing Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (after giving effect to §§2.5(a) and 2.13(c)).

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

(ii) Each 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 Unused Fee, Facility 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 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 Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (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.


§3.	REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

§3.1 Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities (except, so long as no Event of Default exists, for Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to undrawn Letters of Credit which have an expiration date after the Initial Maturity Date which have been cash collateralized pursuant to and in accordance with the proviso set forth in the penultimate sentence of §2.10(a)) Outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(b) In the event there shall have occurred a casualty or Taking with respect to any Credit Support Property and the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is required to repay the Loans pursuant to a Mortgage or §7.7, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans concurrently with the date of receipt by Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Agent of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in respect of such casualty or Taking, as applicable, in the amount required pursuant to the relevant provisions of §7.7 or such Mortgage.


§3.3	Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit 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 LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.7.

Each partial payment under §§3.2 and 3.3 shall be applied first to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, then to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans (in the absence of contrary instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans).

§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 to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall be effective on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or on such other date designated by the Borrower in its written notice of such election (provided that, in such event the Borrower shall pay any losses pursuant to §4.10); (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, 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 $250,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit 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 $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $500,000.00. 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 Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

(b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate 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 the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

(c) If the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, such Loan shall be automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefore, continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month.

§4.2 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank, the Agent and the Arrangers 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 as of January 7, 2015 among the Borrower, KeyBank, Syndication Agent and the Arrangers (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 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 immediately available funds. 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 or any Guarantor 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.

(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), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed 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:

(I) 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, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN 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 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;

(II) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III) 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 I-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 881(c)(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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-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 I-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), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Agent) 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.

(g) 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.

(h) 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.

(i) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and of the 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, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the

Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (v) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower or any of its 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 court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (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) any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that substantially complies but does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code; (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 other than as to any Letter of Credit the payment in full of all Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of such Letter of Credit, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, that such other circumstance or happening shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

§4.4 Computations. All computations of interest on the Base Rate Loans to the extent applicable shall be based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366)-day year, as applicable, 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 LIBOR Rate 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 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, (a) the Agent shall reasonably determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or (b) the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, 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 (x) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (y) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

§4.6 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if, on and after the date hereof, any Lender shall reasonably determine that any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, 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 LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, until such time as the Lenders may again make and maintain LIBOR Rate Loans. 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. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan (including without limitation as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to §12.1), or if the Borrower fails to draw down on the first day of the applicable Interest Period any amount as to which the Borrower has elected a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower will pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (or to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to a Swing Loan), in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. 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 LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (b) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (c) the Borrower has accepted LIBOR 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.

§4.8 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Change in Law shall:

(a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature imposed by any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than 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 London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans 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, 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 received or receivable by any Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit,

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 costs incurred or reduction suffered. 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 any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or its parent bank holding company 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 Change of Law (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 as provided below. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.

§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; Late Charge. Following 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, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus three percent (3%) (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with respect to Letters of Credit shall be increased to a rate equal to three percent (3%) above the Letter of Credit fee that would otherwise be applicable to such time, or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to two percent (2%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, which is not paid by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the date when due (other than amounts payable at the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise).

§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 provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis in good faith, and shall be promptly provided to the Agent and the Borrower upon their written request. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to §4.8 or §4.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to

§4.8 or §4.9 for any increased costs or reductions on return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reduction and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if any such Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

§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 to the extent permitted by Applicable Law 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. 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; Non-Consenting Lenders.

(a) If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.8 or any Lender requests payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.8 or §4.9, or requires the Borrower or any Guarantor to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to the provisions of §4.3, then, upon request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to §§4.3, 4.8 and 4.9, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender 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 §4.8 or §4.9 or has required the Borrower or any Guarantor to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to the provisions of §4.3 and, in each case following the request of the Borrower, such Lender has declined or been unable to take the steps described in subsection (a) above to mitigate such amounts, or there is a Non-Consenting Lender (each, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender, at its sole expense and effort,

upon notice to such Affected Lender and the Agent delivered within one hundred eighty (180) days after such notice for request for payment or compensation or the date upon which such Lender became a Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt of such notice or the date upon which such Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, §18.1) all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, or §4.3) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment). At the Borrower’s option but subject to the prior written approval of Agent, (i) 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 Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected 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 and the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected 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 shall promptly execute all documents required pursuant to §18.1 to transfer such interest. Notwithstanding anything in this §4.14(b) to the contrary, any Lender or other assignee acquiring some or all of the assigned Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender must consent to the proposed amendment, modification or waiver. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Affected Lender including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.


§5.	COLLATERAL SECURITY; GUARANTORS.


§5.1	Collateral. The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest to be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on the Collateral, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents.


§5.2	Appraisal.

(a) The Agent shall on behalf of the Lenders obtain current Appraisals of each of the Credit Support Properties in connection with (and as a condition to) such Real Estate becoming a Credit Support Property. In any such case, said Appraisals will be ordered by Agent and used to determine the current Appraised Value of the Credit Support Properties, and the Borrower shall pay to Agent within ten (10) days after written demand all reasonable costs of such Appraisals.

(b) The Agent may obtain new Appraisals or an update to existing Appraisals with respect to any Credit Support Properties as the Agent shall determine (i) at any time that the regulatory requirements of any Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall require a new or updated Appraisal, (ii) at any time following an Event of Default, or (iii) if the Agent reasonably believes that there has been a casualty (which is not being restored in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents), Taking or material adverse change or deterioration with respect to such Credit Support Property, including, without limitation, a material change in the market in which such Credit Support Property is located. The expense of such Appraisals and/or updates performed pursuant to this §5.2(b) shall be borne by the Borrower and payable to the Agent within ten (10) days of demand; provided the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for an

Appraisal of a Credit Support Property obtained pursuant to this §5.2(b) more often than once in any period of twelve (12) months if no Event of Default exists.

(c) Upon a Taking of or casualty to any Credit Support Property, at the request of the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense as provided in §5.2(a), the Agent shall obtain a new Appraisal or an update to the existing Appraisal of such Credit Support Property.

(d) The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent has the right to approve any Appraisal performed pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees that the Lenders and the Agent do not make any representations or warranties with respect to any such Appraisal and shall have no liability as a result of or in connection with any such Appraisal for statements contained in such Appraisal, including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness of information, estimates, conclusions and opinions contained in such Appraisal, or variance of such Appraisal from the fair value of such property that is the subject of such Appraisal given by the local tax assessor’s office, or the Borrower’s idea of the value of such property.


§5.3	Addition of Credit Support Properties; Additional Collateral.

(a) Provided no Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the satisfaction by the Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.3(a), to add Eligible Real Estate as a Credit Support Property. In the event the Borrower desires to add additional Eligible Real Estate as a Credit Support Property as aforesaid, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request. No Real Estate shall be included as a Credit Support Property unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

(i) such Real Estate shall be Eligible Real Estate;

(ii) if such Real Estate is owned or leased under a Ground Lease by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, said Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of §5.5;

(iii) prior to or contemporaneously with such addition, the Borrower shall have submitted to the Agent a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of the Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under §6.4 or §7.4 prepared on a pro forma basis and adjusted to give effect to such addition, and shall certify that after giving effect to such addition, no Event of Default shall exist nor shall any Default or Event of Default arise as a result of such addition;

(iv) the Borrower or the Wholly-Owned Subsidiary which is the owner of the Real Estate shall have executed and delivered to the Agent all Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents, all of which instruments, documents or agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; and

(v) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Eligible Real Estate, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the addition of such Credit Support Property with the same effect as if made at and as of that time, except to the extent of changes in factual circumstances which are expressly and specifically permitted by the Loan Documents

(it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing nor shall any Default or Event of Default arise as a result of such addition (including, without limitation, any Default under §7.19) and the Agent shall have received a certificate of the Borrower to such effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Real Estate which does not satisfy any of the foregoing requirements, including any Real Estate which is not a Stabilized Property, may become a Credit Support Property upon the prior written approval of the Required Lenders.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Borrower shall own a Multifamily Property which is not collateral for any Secured Indebtedness (or expected to be collateral for any Secured Indebtedness extended by a Person that is not the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate thereof within ninety (90) days after the acquisition of such property or the date such property ceased to be collateral for any Secured Indebtedness, and which in fact does become such collateral within such period), then, to the extent that such Real Estate satisfies all of the conditions for the addition of such Real Estate as a Credit Support Property and upon satisfaction by the Borrower and any applicable Subsidiary of all of the conditions set forth in §5.3(a) (the Borrower agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Real Estate to satisfy all of such conditions), Borrower shall promptly cause such Real Estate to become a Credit Support Property; provided, however, that if prior to the inclusion of such Real Estate as a Credit Support Property the Credit Support Property Value Ratio is at least one hundred fifty percent (150%), then any such Multifamily Property shall not be required to become a Credit Support Property so long as the Borrower shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Within ten (10) days of (i) the Borrower acquiring, forming, holding or otherwise receiving or owning after the Closing Date any Equity Interest in a Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Affiliates (other than an Equity Interest that is an Unpledgeable Interest and other than an Equity Interest in a Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Affiliate that owns a Multifamily Property that is expected to be collateral for any Secured Indebtedness extended by a Person that is not the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of any thereof within ninety (90) days after the acquisition of such property or the date such property ceased to be collateral for any Secured Indebtedness, and which in fact does become such collateral within such period) or (ii) the Borrower or a Subsidiary of Borrower that is directly or indirectly a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Borrower acquiring, forming, holding or otherwise receiving or owing after the Closing Date a Note Receivable or interest therein (other than a Note Receivable that is an Unpledgeable Interest), the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Agent each of the following in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent: (i) a supplement or amendment to the Security Agreement executed by the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary, subjecting such Equity Interest or Note Receivable (or interest therein) to the Lien of the Security Agreement; (ii) all original existing certificates, if any, representing shares of Equity Interests pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, together with an undated stock or similar power for each such certificate executed in blank by a duly authorized officer of Borrower, together with an Acknowledgement substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Security Agreement, duly executed by any issuer of such Equity Interest; (iii) all original Notes Receivable pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, together with an undated allonge substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Security Agreement duly executed by Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary, and other instruments or documents constituting, evidencing, representing or securing such Notes Receivable and any collateral therefor in the possession of Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary (or held on its behalf); (iv) all formation and organizational agreements relating to any Person to which such pledged Equity Interest relate as Agent may reasonably require; (v) results from a recent UCC lien search

as to Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary in such jurisdictions as Agent may designate, which results shall be satisfactory to Agent; and (vi) such certified organizational documents, updated good standing certificates, resolutions, incumbency certificates and legal opinions as Agent may reasonably require.

§5.4 Release of Credit Support Properties. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this §5.4), the Agent shall release a Credit Support Property from the lien or security title of the Security Documents encumbering the same upon the request of the Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice of its desire to obtain such release no later than ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as Agent may approve) prior to the date on which such release is to be effected;

(b) the Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of the Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under §6.4 or §7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate of the Borrower to give effect to the proposed release and demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such release;

(c) all release documents to be executed by the Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

(d) the Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with such release, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees;

(e) the Borrower shall have reduced the Total Commitment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement so that no Default shall exist under §9.1 as a result of such release, and the Borrower shall make a partial prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the aggregate Outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities so that they do not exceed the Total Commitment;

(f) without limiting or affecting any other provision hereof, any release of a Credit Support Property will not cause the Borrower to be in violation of the covenants set forth in this Agreement; and

(g) the Majority Lenders shall have consented to such release, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Multifamily Project of Borrower commonly known as Allegro I and Allegro II in Addison, Texas shall be considered to be one (1) Credit Support Property.


§5.5	Additional Guarantors; Release of Guarantors.

(a) In the event that the Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower be included as a Credit Support Property as contemplated by §5.3(a) and such Real Estate is included as a Credit Support Property in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower shall, as a condition to such Real Estate being included as a Credit Support Property, cause each such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder and thereunder. In addition, in the event any Subsidiary of the Borrower shall constitute a Material Subsidiary, the Borrower shall promptly cause such Subsidiary

to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder and thereunder. 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 and such Security Documents as the Agent may reasonably require. 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. In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Guarantor to, deliver to the Agent all documents required to be delivered pursuant to §10 with respect to a Guarantor, each of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(b) In the event that all Credit Support Properties owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been released as Collateral for the Obligations and Hedge Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released by Agent from liability under this Agreement, provided that such Subsidiary Guarantor is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor.

(c) 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 that is a Guarantor solely by virtue of being a Material Subsidiary pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of the definition hereof 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; (ii) the Agent shall have received such written request at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as Agent may approve) prior to the requested date of release; (iii) such Subsidiary Guarantor is not the owner of a Credit Support Property; and (iv) the 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 Guarantor or that all of the assets of such Guarantor will be disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and if such transaction involves the disposition by such Guarantor of all of its assets, the net cash proceeds, if any, from such disposition are being distributed to the Borrower in connection with such disposition, or (B) such Guarantor will be the borrower with respect to Secured Indebtedness that is not prohibited under this Agreement, which Indebtedness will be secured by a Lien on the assets of such Guarantor, and the provisions of such Secured Indebtedness make such Subsidiary Guarantor an Excluded Subsidiary, or (C) the Borrower has contributed or simultaneously with such release will contribute its entire direct or indirect interest in such Guarantor to an Unconsolidated Affiliate in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, or (D) if Borrower has obtained and is maintaining an Investment Grade Rating, such Subsidiary Guarantor is not required to be Guarantor pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Material Subsidiary”, or (E) such Guarantor is an Excluded Subsidiary. 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.

(d) Notwithstanding the terms of §5.5(a), (b) and (c), from and after any date that Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that Borrower has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating, then (i) subject to the terms of this §5.5(d), all Material Subsidiaries of the type described in clause (c) of the definition thereof shall no longer be required to be Guarantors under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) Agent shall promptly release such Material Subsidiaries described in clause (c) of the definition thereof from the Guaranty; provided however that notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Agent shall not be obligated to release any such Material Subsidiary from the Guaranty in the event that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) no such Material Subsidiary shall be released in the event that such Material Subsidiary constitutes a Material Subsidiary within the meaning of clauses (a) or (b) of the definition thereof. In the event that at any time after Borrower has an Investment Grade

Rating, Borrower shall no longer have an Investment Grade Rating, Borrower and REIT shall within thirty (30) days (or such later date as agreed to by Agent) after such occurrence cause all Material Subsidiaries of the type described in clause (c) of the definition thereof to execute a Joinder Agreement and shall further cause to be satisfied within such thirty (30) day period (or such longer period as agreed to by Agent) all of the provisions of §5.5(a) that would be applicable to the addition of a new Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time during which the Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating the provisions of clause (b) of the definition of Material Subsidiary shall be applicable to a Subsidiary of Borrower, the Borrower shall be required to cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing a Joinder Agreement and comply with the provisions of §5.5(a) as a condition to such Subsidiary's becoming a borrower, guarantor or other obligor with respect to Recourse Indebtedness or to be a guarantor of or to be otherwise liable with respect to any Indebtedness of another Person.

(e) The provisions of §5.5(b), (c) and (d) shall not entitle Borrower, General Partner, Limited Partner or the REIT to any release from the Loan Documents.

§5.6 Release of Collateral from Security Agreement. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this §5.6), the Agent shall release an Equity Interest or Notes Receivable from the lien or security title of the Security Agreement upon the request of the Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice if its desire to obtain such release no later than ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as Agent may approve) prior to the date on which such release is to be effected;

(b) the Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request a certificate that no Default or Event of Default exists or shall exist after giving effect to such release;

(c) all release documents to be executed by the Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

(d) the Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with such release, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees; and

(e) such Equity Interest or Notes Receivable qualifies, or will qualify simultaneously with such release from the Security Agreement, as an Unpledgeable Interest, or Borrower will simultaneously with such release sell such Notes Receivable or the Person in whom such Equity Interests relate in a transaction permitted by this Agreement.

§5.7 Release of Collateral. Upon the refinancing or repayment of the Obligations in full and termination of the obligation to provide additional Loans or issue Letters of Credit to Borrower, then the Agent shall release the Collateral from the lien and security interest of the Security Documents and release the Borrower and Guarantors (other than with respect to obligations that survive termination of this Agreement), provided that Agent has not received a notice from the Representative or the holder of the Hedge Obligations that any Hedge Obligation is then due and payable to the holder thereof.

(b) All policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that (i) no act or omission of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or anyone acting for the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any representations made in the procurement of such insurance), which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of such insurance or any part thereof, no occupancy or use of the Real Estate for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of the policy, and no foreclosure or any other change in title to the Real Estate or any part thereof, shall affect the validity or enforceability of such insurance insofar as the Agent is concerned, (ii) the insurer waives any right of set off, counterclaim, subrogation, or any deduction in respect of any liability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and the Agent, (iii) such insurance is primary and without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be available, (iv) such policies shall not be modified so as to reduce or in any way negatively affect insurance coverage on any Credit Support Property, canceled or terminated prior to the scheduled expiration date thereof without the insurer thereunder giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent by certified or registered mail; provided, however, that only ten (10) days prior written notice to Agent shall be required if such cancellation or termination is due to non-payment of any insurance premium, and (v) that the Agent or the Lenders shall not be liable for any premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder, and shall in all events be in amounts sufficient to avoid any coinsurance liability.

(d) All policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall be issued by companies authorized to do business in the State where the policy is issued and also in the States where the Real Estate is located and shall be issued by companies having a rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide of at least “A-” and a financial size category of at least “VIII”.

(e) Neither the Borrower nor any Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Agreement unless such insurance complies with the terms and provisions of this §7.7.

(f) In the event of any Taking of or any loss or damage to any Credit Support Property, the Borrower or the Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the insurance carrier (other than for a Taking) and the Agent. Each of the Borrower and the Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Agent, at the Agent’s option and in the Agent’s sole discretion or at the request of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, as its attorney in fact, to make proof of such loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies or as a result of a Taking, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies or as a result of a Taking, to collect and receive Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds, and to deduct therefrom the Agent’s reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds except that, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as the Borrower or any Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall in good faith diligently pursue such claim, the Borrower or such Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor may make proof of loss and appear in any proceedings or negotiations with respect to the adjustment of such claim, except that the Borrower or such Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor may not

The Borrower and each Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor further authorize the Agent, at the Agent’s option, to (i) apply the balance of such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations whether or not then due, or (ii) if the Agent shall require the reconstruction or repair of the Credit Support Property, to hold the balance of such proceeds as trustee (or at Borrower’s option, to prepay the Loans) to be used to pay taxes, charges, sewer use fees, water rates and assessments which may be imposed on the Credit Support Property and the Obligations as they become due during the course of reconstruction or repair of the Credit Support Property and to reimburse the Borrower or such Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Agent may prescribe, for, or to pay directly, the costs of reconstruction or repair of the Credit Support Property, and upon completion of such reconstruction or repair to pay any excess Insurance Proceeds to the Borrower, provided that (i) upon completion of such reconstruction or repair, such Credit Support Property is in compliance with all applicable state, federal and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including, without limitation, all building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations and (ii) no Defaults or Events of Default exist or are continuing under this Agreement on the date of such payment to the Borrower.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in the Mortgages, the Agent shall make net Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds available to the Borrower or such Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor (or if the Borrower has prepaid the Loans with such proceeds the Lenders shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, disburse such amounts as additional Revolving Credit Loans) to reconstruct and repair the Credit Support Property, in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Agent may prescribe in the Agent’s discretion for the disbursement of the proceeds, provided that (i) the cost of such reconstruction or repair is not estimated by the Agent to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) (or thirty-five percent (35%) if the Credit Support Property Value Ratio is greater than 150%) of the replacement cost of the damaged Building (as reasonably estimated by the Agent), (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Borrower or such Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall have provided to the Agent additional cash security (or reserved amounts available to be disbursed as Loans under this Agreement in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Agent) in an amount equal to the amount reasonably estimated by the Agent to be the amount in excess of such proceeds which will be required to complete such repair or restoration, (iv) the Agent shall have approved the plans and specifications, construction budget, construction contracts, and construction schedule for such repair or restoration and reasonably determined that the repaired or restored Credit Support Property will provide the Agent with adequate security for the Obligations (provided that the Agent shall not disapprove such plans and specifications if the Building is to be restored to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage), (v) [reserved], (vi) the Agent shall reasonably determine that such repair or reconstruction can be completed prior to the Maturity Date, (vii) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that any such restoration, repair or rebuilding complies in all respects with any and all applicable state, federal and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including without limitation, zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, and that all required permits, licenses and approvals relative thereto have been or will be issued in a manner so as not to materially impede the progress of restoration, (viii) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the insurer under such policies of fire or other casualty insurance does not assert any defense to payment under such policies against the Borrower, any Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor or the Agent, and (ix) with respect to any

Taking, (a) the value of the land taken under such condemnation is less than $500,000.00; (b) less than five percent (5%) of the land is taken; (c) the land that is taken is located along the perimeter or periphery of the land; (d) access to the Credit Support Property is not affected in any way by the Taking; (e) no portion of the improvements are taken. Any excess Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to the Borrower, or if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations, unless in either case by the terms of the applicable insurance policy the excess proceeds are required to be returned to such insurer. Any excess Condemnation Proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations. In no event shall the provisions of this Section be construed to extend the Maturity Date or to limit in any way any right or remedy of the Agent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. If the Credit Support Property is sold or the Credit Support Property is acquired by the Agent, all right, title and interest of the Borrower and any Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor in and to any insurance policies to the extent that they relate to Credit Support Properties and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds thereof resulting from loss or damage to the Credit Support Property prior to the sale or acquisition shall pass to the Agent or any other successor in interest to the Borrower or purchaser of the Credit Support Property.

(h) The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) will, at their expense, procure and maintain insurance covering the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and the Real Estate other than the Credit Support Properties 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.

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 taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon them or upon the Credit Support Properties 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 Liens affecting any of the Collateral 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 (and if such Real Estate is a Credit Support Property, Borrower shall have given the Agent written notice of such contest) which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to such property and the Borrower or applicable Guarantor 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 imminent 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 (or if such aggregate amount so contested relates to a Credit Support Property and equals or exceeds $250,000, then, upon request of the Agent, the Borrower shall maintain availability of Revolving Credit Loans in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Agent in an amount equal to the aggregate amount so contested until the resolution of such contest); 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. Borrower shall deliver to the Agent evidence of payment of taxes, other assessments, levies and

charges described in this §7.8 with respect to the Credit Support Properties not later than the date upon which such amounts are due and payable unless the same are being contested in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents.

The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, 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), 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, the officers, partners or members of the Borrower and the REIT, all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request and at the expense of such Lender or the Agent (unless a Default or Event of Default shall exist, in which case the exercise by the Agent or such Lender of its rights under this Section shall be at the expense of the Borrower). 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, comply in all material respects with (a) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is conducted (provided that §7.10 shall not limit the terms of §8.6 with respect to the Credit Support Properties), including all Environmental Laws, (b) the provisions of its corporate charter, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and other charter documents and bylaws, (c) all 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 and regulations for the conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, in each case except where failure to so comply (except with respect to Borrower, the REIT, any Credit Support Property or any Applicable Subsidiary Guarantor) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower shall develop and implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act 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.

§7.11 Further Assurances.

The Agent may condition any approval of a manager that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower engaged by the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Management Agreement with respect to a Credit Support Property upon the execution and delivery to the Agent of a Subordination of Management Agreement. The Borrower shall give the Agent written notice of any Management Agreement for any Credit Support Property with a manager that is an Affiliate of the Borrower, and shall provide to the Agent an executed Subordination of Management Agreement.

Other than Investments permitted under §8.3(n) below, neither the 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, leasing, management, financing, refinancing, disposition, development and redevelopment of Multifamily Properties and activities reasonably related or incidental thereto.

§7.15 Registered Servicemark. Without prior written notice to the Agent, except with respect to the trademarks, tradenames, servicemarks or logos listed on Schedule 6.6 hereto or in any Mortgage with respect to any Credit Support Property or with respect to the name “Monogram” or derivatives therefrom, none of the Credit Support Properties shall be owned or operated by the Borrower or any Guarantor under any trademark, tradename, servicemark or logo (other than “Monogram” or derivatives therefrom). In the event any of the Credit Support Properties shall be owned or operated under any tradename, trademark, servicemark or logo, not listed on Schedule 6.6 hereto or in any Mortgage with respect to any Credit Support Property, the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall enter into such agreements with the Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, as the Agent may reasonably require to grant the Agent a perfected first priority security interest therein and to grant to the Agent or any successful bidder at a foreclosure sale of such Credit Support Property the right and/or license to continue operating such Credit Support Property under such tradename, trademark, servicemark or logo as determined by the Agent.

(i) the Eligible Real Estate shall be owned one hundred percent (100%) in fee simple or leased under a Ground Lease as to which no default or event of default shall exist by the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Borrower that is a Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case free and clear of all Liens other than the Liens permitted in §8.2(i), (vi) (as to any deposit accounts only), (viii) and (ix), and such Eligible Real Estate shall not have applicable to it any restriction on the sale, pledge, transfer, mortgage or assignment of such property (including any restrictions contained in any applicable organizational documents but excluding any restrictions contained in the Loan Documents) (any such restrictions, a “Negative Pledge”);

(ii) none of the Eligible Real Estate shall have any structural defects or major architectural deficiencies, title defects, environmental conditions or other adverse matters except as approved by the Agent and the Required Lenders;

The Agent may engage its own Environmental Engineer to review the environmental assessments and the compliance with the covenants contained herein.

Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the Required 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 expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Credit Support Property, or that any of the Credit Support Properties is not in compliance with Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall promptly upon the reasonable request of the Agent obtain and deliver to the Agent such environmental assessments of such Credit Support Property prepared by an Environmental Engineer (the scope of which pursuant to this sentence shall be limited to the matters giving rise to such reasonable belief by the Agent). Such environmental assessments may include, if necessary, detailed visual inspections of such Credit Support Property and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for such assessment as described in this section.

Upon demand by the Agent or the Required Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and

101

regardless of whether the conditions precedent in this Agreement for a Revolving Credit Loan have been satisfied, the Lenders will cause a Revolving Credit Loan to be made in the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit. The proceeds of any such Revolving Credit Loan will be pledged to and held by the Agent as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations and Hedge Obligations.

§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, and provided further, that no such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, and (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 provide insurance as required by §7.7, to any default (whether of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof) consisting of a failure to comply with §§7.4(c), 7.14, 7.17, 7.18, 7.19, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.7, 8.8, 8.13 or 8.14 or to any Default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents.

(b) In the event that there shall occur any action or event constituting a Default or Event of Default that affects only certain Credit Support Properties or the owner(s) thereof, then the Borrower may elect to cure such Default or Event of Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) if Borrower elects to have the Agent remove such Credit Support Property from the calculation of the covenant in §9.1 and by reducing the Total Commitment and the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit so that no Default or Event of 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 or Event of Default from the Agent or the Required 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 Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans to and issue

102

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.

§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 Required 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, requiring the establishment of a hard lockbox and cash management system with Agent, 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 reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable out-of-pocket 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 five (5) Business 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 reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.

§12.5 Distribution of Collateral 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 Collateral or other 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 or incurred or sustained by the Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or 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 respect of the Collateral 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) in such order or preference as the Required 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

103

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 provided, further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and


§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, 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 any interest 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 not be invested by the Agent, and will earn interest at a rate paid by Agent with respect to similar deposit accounts, and 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) Prior to the Maturity Date, 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 reimburse the Issuing Lender with respect to the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any Defaulting Lender. From and after the Maturity Date, 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 Base Rate 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 Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate or withdraw any amounts in the Collateral Account 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 and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Obligations 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

104

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 at such time.

(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 . 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, 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 under the Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders agree with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or the Guarantors, 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. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.


§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

105

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 fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower to the extent Borrower would be otherwise obligated to pay such expenses if incurred directly by Agent.

§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 to any Lender 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 finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by the Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders. 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”.

§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 the 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

106

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 and the granting and perfecting of liens in the Collateral.


§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 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.

§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. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under §00 xx §00 to be paid by it to the Agent, 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 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 finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. 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 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 Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable,

107

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 $1,000,000,000.00. 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 $1,000,000,000.00. 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.

§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 Required 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 or out of the Collateral within such period. The Required 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.

108

§14.11 Request for Agent Action. The Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of the Borrower, (a) a Credit Support Property may be subject to a Taking, or (b) the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting the Credit Support Properties, or take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, Leases) which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of the Agent. In connection with the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agent to (w) execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreements with any tenant under a Lease upon such terms as the Agent in its good faith judgment determines are appropriate (the Agent in the exercise of its good faith judgment may agree to allow some or all of the casualty, condemnation, restoration or other provisions of the applicable Lease to control over the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents), (x) execute releases of liens in connection with any Taking, (y) execute consents or subordinations in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in connection with any easements or agreements affecting the Credit Support Property, or (z) execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be necessary in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business.

§14.12 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding 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, Required 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.

§14.13 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, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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.

§14.14 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 or the Required 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. The request for approval shall include the following in all capital, bolded, block letters on the first page thereof:

109

“THE FOLLOWING REQUEST REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED AN APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST.”

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.

§14.15 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.

§14.16 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.


§15.	EXPENSES.

The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein incurred by the Agent, (b) any recording, mortgage, documentary or intangibles taxes or fees in connection with the recording or filing of any Loan Documents payable by the Agent or any of the Lenders, including any such taxes payable by the Agent or any of the Lenders after the Closing Date, (c) all title insurance premiums, engineer’s fees, environmental reviews and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the counsel to the Agent and KCM and any local counsel to the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, administration, or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or hereunder, (d) the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of the Agent and KCM incurred in connection with the syndication of the Loans until there is a "Successful Syndication" (as defined in the commitment letter dated January 7, 2015 among Borrower, KeyBank, Syndication Agent and the Arrangers), (e) all other reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, the addition or substitution of additional Collateral and the release of Collateral, (f) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs, and fees and costs of appraisers, engineers, investment bankers or other experts retained by the Agent) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any

110

of the Loan Documents against the Borrower or the Guarantors or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or any other workout of the Loan Documents and (ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way related to the Agent’s, or any of the Lenders’ relationship with the Borrower or the Guarantors (provided that any attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant to this §15(f) with respect to counsel separate from that retained by Agent (including local counsel) shall be limited to those incurred by one primary counsel retained by the Required Lenders), (g) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches, UCC filings, title rundowns, title searches or mortgage recordings, (h) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) which may be incurred by KeyBank in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (without duplication of any of the items listed above), and (i) all expenses relating to the use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other similar system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information in connection with the Loans. The covenants of this §15 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.


§16.	INDEMNIFICATION.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Lenders, the Arrangers, their respective Affiliates and Persons who control the Agent, or any Lender or the Arrangers, and each director, officer, employee, agent and attorney of each of the foregoing Persons, against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (a) any and all claims for brokerage, leasing, finders or similar fees which may be made relating to the Credit Support Properties, other Real Estate or the Loans, (b) any condition of the Credit Support Properties or other Real Estate, (c) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service xxxx or similar right of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (e) the Borrower and the Guarantors entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (f) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code, order, rule, regulation, approval, consent, permit or license relating to the Credit Support Properties or any other Real Estate, (g) with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury, nuisance or damage to property), and (h) any use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this §16 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled to select a single law firm as their own counsel and an additional single local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction for all such parties (and, to the extent reasonably necessary in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel) and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. No person indemnified hereunder shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions

111

contemplated hereby or thereby. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder.


§17.	SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.

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 or 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, 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 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 (provided that to the extent there are any Letters of Credit Outstanding at the Maturity Date as permitted by the penultimate sentence of §2.10(a), Borrower and Issuing Lender agree to consider having a separate letter of credit reimbursement agreement to evidence and secure the obligations of Borrower with respect to such Letters of Credit after the termination of this Agreement and the repayment and satisfaction of all other Obligations). The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents 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. All statements contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Person hereunder.


§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 five (5) Business Days, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented (provided that such consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a Related Fund, 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 Commitment, (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 H 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 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

112

portion of the Revolving Credit Loans shall have a net worth or, in the case of a Related Fund or an assignee that is not a bank or other institutional lender, an unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $1,000,000,000.00 (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. 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, (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.

§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 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 $3,500.00.

§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 its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the

Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, 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 Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

§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 §§4.8, 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; 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 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 or any material Collateral (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary 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.

§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 (provided that such other Person shall not be entitled to realize upon such pledge without first complying with the provisions of §18.1). No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

114

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

§18.7 Disclosure. 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 and shall not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of 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 assignee, transferee or participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7 and the other Persons described in this §18.7(c) 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, each Lender shall notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) 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). 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 is otherwise available to such Lender on a non-confidential basis or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrower or the Guarantors, or is disclosed with the prior approval of the Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

§18.8 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.

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.
